It's been 5 years of negligence at the highest level. Back then, I was advised to consume Appleton weight gain and now, my weight measurement is comparable to a rugby player. I can't imagine I let my "temple" to swell to 78 kg from 48kg. That's more than 1.5X gain. All pure solid body fat. Now. it is time to take actions. Enrolled myself to FF and let the pain begins...

Objective: Reduction of weight from 78 kg to 70 kg (hopefully most are body fat)

Period: Oct till Dec '08

The plan:

1st month
Cardio (running on treadmill) during weekdays to allow my body to be conditioned before hitting the weight room.

My diet:

Breakfast: 1 serving of oatmeal with a cup of orange juice

Snack: Wholemeal bread x 2 slices with chicken bologna

Lunch: Small rice with chicken & veggie

Snack: An apple & wholemeal bread x 2 slices with chicken bologna

Dinner: Small rice with chicken & veggie

I'm taking it step by step. Feel free to comment on my diet and the rest.

Too much carbs if you ask me especially for a man that's cutting
Totally needs to hit the weights

The body isn't conditioned to hit weights via cardio/jogging. The body's conditioned to hit weights, when you hit weights.

Thanks for your advice. Will tweak my diet after the initial stage. Well I need to condition my body to some kind of vigorous workout since it has NOT been subject to any punishment for the past 5 years. I doubt I can even last 10 mins on the treadmill let alone lifting something heavy.

you be surprised what the body can handle

believe me on this, the mind's the weakest link in the body. The body can do loads of things if you can condition your mind to believe in itself. This isn't motivational talk, just hit the weights. Which FF do you train at?

Also..I'm not sure how you're intending to lose fat because you don't take any fat as it seems from your diet.

More fat needed to. Rule of thumb for losing fat; High protein, moderate-high fat, low carbs.

I have not include my supplement in the post. Vitamin C, Kordel's flaxseed oil and whey protein. I'll be in The Curve or Menara Maxis whenever visiting my customers.

I'm a strong supporter of animal fat for it's DNA (there's actually studies showing that animal fat and protein, does have differences in DNA and test levels)

I suggest more animal fat, probably at 2 servings a day. Or at least one.

? what do you mean animal fats?

hit the weights bro, i train in curve too~

Start reading a bit more about nutrition

http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/strength-training-diet.htm

You'll learn more about what's the proper diet.

And it's my strong believe, NO man has done enough crime to be condemned to the treadmill and smith machine, the two animalistically evil products of Satan. Lift weights. Free weights.
And don't give up when you feel that it's hard to lift them, just lift them some more.

Thanks for the link.

Been lifting for a month now. Changed my diet plan with further reduction of carb, close to eliminate rice off my diet.

Breakfast: Oatmeal & protein shake
Mid morning: 2 boiled eggs, skimmed milk with nuts
Lunch: Chicken with vege
Tea time: Tuna with skimmed milk
Post workout: Protein shake
Dinner: Chicken rice or Salmon with baked potato
Supper: Protein shake

Tuesday:
Back & Legs 3 sets of 10 reps

Squat
Lunge
Chin up
Lat pull down

Thursday:
Chest & Triceps: 3 sets of 10 reps

Bench Press
Incline bench press
DB flyer
Kickback
Dip (as many as possible)
Rope pulldown

Saturday:
Shoulders & Biceps 3 sets of 10 reps

Military press
DB press
Front lateral raise
Side lateral raise
Shrug
BB curls
DB curls

After a month, a very minimal weight drop (water reduction?) can be seen but will expect more in coming months. Gain strenght but not size yet.
