No offence, but do you know what's the main reason you got overweight in the first place?
And let's say your current meal plan does make you lose weight over time. Is it sustainable? Can you do it for long periods of time?
A lot of people restrict themselves to peanuts for meals and workout like hell for a short period of time, yeah they do lose weight, but after that they eat back the SAME thing that made them overweight in the first place.
The most important thing when losing weight is to first understand why you're overweight. Next, learn the basics of nutrition like what does carbs, protein and fats do to your body and metabolism. Third, change your mindset and strive for a long term goal, for example, cut down on sugary food/drinks will definitely help a lot. Forth, always workout whenever possible, this will help to minimize the effect of high carb consumption on the formation of adipose tissues in mainly your belly (fatty tissues)
90% of the time why people are overweight is due to the high/excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates, like chips/pasta/flour or sugary foods/drinks. Refined sugar don't fill your tummy (and spikes your insulin) and this is why it's so easy to overeat them. It packs a lot of calories too.
Yeah, I am overweight since I am 8-9 years old, and before this I really cant control my cravings for food and I ate 2-3 servings of food, each session (lunch, dinner).
I am 23 now, realizing the fact in Malaysia that first impressions really count in job interviews, I decided to start losing weight. That was my purpose. But of course who didnt want a fast result, haha.
Okay then, in ur opinion, am I doing good on this rate, or not?
Do I need to increase BMR first or straight on cardios?
And do supplements/fat burners really helps a lot in losing weight?
Sorry for this question spams, and thank you in advance.
