Hi guys, I need help in my diet plan
I am 122kg 170cm. Yes I am over obese
I know what really cause me fat so I did reduce the intake of carbs and beverages. I also tried jogging for one hour but my leg will be pain at tomorrow morning,
Thus I decide to lose my weight through eating habits first before try to exercise. I wish to try atkins diet but I am not sure about what to eat because I do some research and found that completely cut down carbs intake is not good. Can anyone help me what I should eat?

what you should look into is doing a low carb diet, but dont eliminate carbs. cut down on sugary items, snacks and fast food. a single mcd meal is a huge if not all of your entires day calorie budget. dont have to eat clean, but start tracking your cals (myfitnesspal) its a real eye opener, but try not to get obsessed.

join a gym and start doing some weight training. dont know if you are male or female, but either way weights are good! they are your friends! if youre female and worried about 'getting big' then take a look at instagram of princessfionaherself (deadlifts 120kg) or a lot of other female lifters.

anyways good luck!

Hey guys I need some advice.

I'm 17, weighing at 85-90 KG ( this is after raya ) and around 174cm. So I'm aiming to burn some of these fats. I tried jogging and it's quite taxing for me since I has asthma and my knees went sore the day after.

I was thinking of getting a bicycle and try cycling since the area around my neighborhood is like a hillside. I'm staying at the bottom of the hill so climbing up the hill might be a good way to exercise I suppose. What do you guys think?

do weights. check out stronglifts 5x5, its a quick full body workout that will really increase your power, esp if you do sports.

Actually, doing cardio like running/cycling doesn't help much actually. Usually around 200-300 calories which can be easily used up by drinking 2 cans of coke or something..

It's the diet that's the most important and the most sustainable in the long term.

Ask yourself, what made you overweight in the first place?

Ate a lot of food? Always feeling hungry? Always drinking sugary drinks/cakes/biscuits?

Once you know what made you gain weight, then it's easy to know what to do next. Minimize consuming them to the max until you have reached a point where you are not a slave to food. Been there done that so I know what I'm talking about smile.gif

p/s: Forgot to mention the most basic formula. To lose weight = Eat less than your TDEE (google it). Basically eat less calories than what your body burns

hehe. the most hated answer to how to lose weight...
"how did you lose weight?"
"diet and exercise..."
"k thx bye"

lulz. treadmill and stationary bike is so time consuming. better to pump iron and then have that slow burnnnn all day flex.gif

Hi guy,

I am aiming to loose weight, especially my tummy. I don't drink or smoke. I just enjoy food alot.

I am trying to loose weight by going to gym. Been eating breakfast (Nasi Lemak) and lunch (Mee, rice) but skipped dinner now.

Am I in the right track? Is there anything else I can do to fasten the process?
*
unfortunately there is no spot reduction, so you need to lose weight overall. cant target your tummy. first thing you should do is to calculate your daily calorie intake and burn. you need to run at a deficit. if eating two meals but above what your body really needs then you will still put on weight. nasi lemak and all is fine, IIFYM style, dont need to eat clean if you dont want.

what workouts are you doing at the gym? i recommend lifting, but im biased as i hate cardio...

I play around dumbbells, imitate those experience, follow their steps. My friend recommend me do 4 sets, each sets 10 times. I also go on treadmill; usually ran 2km everytime I go gym. But got to know that 30 sec sprint 30 sec jog for 5 minutes are far more better than go for 2km.

I also just started to play around with the weight lifting since last week Friday. And I didn't know the stick alone is already 15kg. sweat.gif

barbell... not stick...

dont simply imitate, otherwise you will hurt yourself hahah. sometimes those people also have no idea what they are doing... if you are a beginner and no clue about a program you can look up some lifting programs to follow. the 30 sprint and jog is HIIT. but for the sprint you really gotta push yourself, not just speed up a bit. safer to do it on the bike or elliptical in the gym. the treadmill a bit dangerous unless someone there to help you adjust the speed... good luck. flex.gif

hi guys, so i've been doing gym for almost 5 times per week, and i do cardio most of the times. almost 1hour + on cardio and half an hour on weight (to tone my arms). During the past 3 months of regular gym session, i definitely LOOK slimmer, and also can fit into more smaller sized clothes, and i can feel harder muscles on my body. however the number on scale does not show big difference. i only dropped 4+ kg for 3 months. most of the time i eat very very light dinner (sometimes just oat or just chicken breast)

am i doing things wrong? when only i will experience numbers dropping? at least 1 kg per week. sad.gif feel so demotivated really.
*
if you look slimmer then dont worry about it. probably just putting on some muscle and/or water retention.

I am an obese and since a few weeks ago have started being active again.

30 YO male
171cm
113kg in June
98kg as of yesterday

Activities include jog, run, and some weight lifting. Oh weekly hiking as well.
I am quite detail on food intake to make sure calorie deficit everyday.

However lately i realised that Ii am losing weight faster especially after taking up hiking. More like 2kg per week. I drink plenty of water every day and I dont think it is cause by dehydration.

I workout every day, 1 hr each time and sometimes goes to twice a day. So my question is, is it normal to lost that much weight in such a short time?  blink.gif  blink.gif

wah congrats!

the 'healthy' amount is ~1kg per week. need more info about your food. if you are working out 2x per day and eating very little, then yes. its not good for you. after all your exercise, how many calories are left for your body to use for normal functions?

Honestly I dont eat much less. just that i control what i eat. no more kfc or mcd or canned food. more to vege, fruits and lean meat. and almost zero sweet beverages. And the workout part i really give my all. at least once a day.

if you dont feel tired, or like your dying then should be ok. but remember to take rest days. your body will thank you for it and come back stronger.

try to calculate in calories how much your intake really was. then calculate calories you burned from exercise and subtract it from your overall intake. from your stats the remainder should be at least around 1500-1600 cals. if less than that, your body will have some trouble. im not a believer of the whole 'starvation mode' but i do believe your body needs the proper amount of calories to function properly.

change up the routine. go swimming, or lift weights if you got gym?
