Can doing planking alone help to get the 6-packs abs?
I read this from Get 6-packsa bs: No crunches necessary
How frequent should I do planking assuming I can hold the normal planking position for say like 45 seconds?

I have 6 packs abs and NO, I have not done planks or crunches.

hi, is it true that running at night (up to individual limit) before sleep is not good for health?

is calorie computation (intake and usage) is really that straightforward? losing 1kg weight for every 7700 deficit of calories.

is it really dangerous to take really low calories (let say 700-1000cl) per day while use about 2500-3000cl on the same day? I've been doing it for the last couple of days. It wont be for long, I plan to practice it for 1-2 weeks if possible. Is it doable?

My opinion:-

Exercise at night - depends on individual. If you feel bad because you cannot sleep, then don't do it. Nothing beats a good sleep. Not even a good productive workout.

Calorie computation - it is straight forward. But it is not straight forward in execution because everyone's body build differently, every food build differently. You just need to look for ways and food that shows you results.

Low calorie intake - It is possible. I was a fat guy eating I don't know how much calorie, as in alot of calories, but when I change my way (the wrong way) I ate only 900kcal a day, running 30 - 40 min a day, every day. So my nett calorie intake might be only 700 a day. I loose weight/ fats. I did that for 9 weeks, loosing 19kg. The complication will be, I have low energy level, low mood, high stress, lethargic, crashed my metabolisme. So do it the right way. Don't do it like me. But I glad that I did. At least I started somewhere.

Hi guys,

I am trying to lose weight. I only do light - moderate swimming during the weekends.
I just don't want to get yo yo effect in terms of my diet and would like to check if this eating pattern is okay.

For morning:
I usually take something heavier, like rice or noodles.

Afternoon:
Something with soup, less oil, or sandwiches

Night:
(Meatless) Salad, yoghurts, eggs, soups.

The foods are something in that range, and also I am cutting down on meats, mainly taking fishes, reason is because my eczema heals better when i take less meats and I don't have to rely on steroids to heal.

So is this eating pattern ok? Will i have yo yo effect?

How many calories are you eating in a day? Not sure? Learn how to count and you will be amazed at how much you need and how much you eat a day.

Hi guys, so recently I decided to finally once and for all lose all that unnecessary fats lingering around in my body. I weigh in at 84 kg's and my height is around 175 cm's.

So I started out with a simple 5km run everyday at around 9pm ( I do it at night because I'm busy with Uni most of the time )

And I've already reduced my rice intake by a lot. I only scoop rice according to the size of my fist and started to eat more veggies, meat ( chicken, fish etc) and also started to drink more water frequently rather than going for processed drinks and all that.

I've read a bit ( albeit confusing ) anout calorie counting and macronutrients and what not and its a bit too overwhelming for me 😅 I do hope one day I could get to that level in which i could understand fully on how the entire thing works but now currently I was wondering whether the plan that I've already set for myself is lacking in anyway especially for a beginner like me?

Any thoughts and comments about it will be appreciated!

If you do not count calories portion cutting works. What if one day you have achieved your goal and you want to maintain? How much you should eat by then? Start learning how to count. It will benefit you in a long run.

I don't know man. I read rubbish in that site. Eat properly, train properly, sleep properly. You will have soaring test before you know it.
