It really is what you put in your mouth.

 

When I stopped smoking I was getting a little tum. So I was placed on the Oat and seeds diet.

 

Each morning I have oats and a little milk, or a slice of toast with marmite with an apple or pear.

 

For lunch, small amount of chicken (cubes) or salad with olive oil, couscous and seeds all mixed in.

 

Dinner, fish, or small amount of red meat, and small amount of potatoe, again salad, oil and seeds.

 

Keep on the move, (this will depend on your job) stay off shakes, but do have a nice treat and not starve the body of it, and take part in pilates.

 

Stick to this or something very similar and you wont end up like a balloon, and have a healthy heart.

Eat what you want to (within reason) but eat smaller portions. And remember most of the time we think we are hungry it is actually thirst.

At the end of the day it is mind over matter, are you a WEAK person, are you SO PATHETIC you will let food win

 

And do it now whilst you are still young before wrinkles and gravity take over (and they do VERY quickly ) cos then...what's the point

For losing weight not eating after 6 is a good one, obviously portion control is important as well. When your jogging put a wooly hat on and a bin bag if you can handle it. also saunas work if you can get to a gym. these are tried and tested for losing weight but there are probably better ways to get FIT.

 

what you mention, is realy for cutting weight,,, not loosing fat. its quite possible to loose 10lbs in one day using those methods,,, trouble is its water not fat.

Everyone knows how to lose weight, it isn't rocket science. Take a piece to work and no money, if you can't buy it you won't eat it. You can get calorie counter apps for your phone, catalogue everything you eat, amazing when your watching it you will think twice when you see your getting to your calorie limit.

If you want to lose weight I'd stop eating protein shakes and don't go near the weights other than dumbbells and press-ups. Doing weights defeats the object of wanting to lose weight, as it uses proteins to build muscle and increase weight. The easiest way to lose weight is to run, run, run and run some more. If your legs are gone due to age, a rowing machine is great.

 

Remember your body uses two things for energy: Sugars/Carbs stored in muscles as Glycogen (used for quick release of energy); Fats stored under the skin and around organs (used for slow release of energy).

 

If you run for long enough that your arms and legs feel like you've been doing weights all day, then it means your body has run out of stored sugars. Only once the sugars have been used up, does the body seriously start to burn fats instead. The problem is that most folk stop training when they get tired and puffing, before they've used up all the sugars, meaning hardly any fats ever get burned by their body. Whatever you do though, don't join the binbag brigade: Its ok for boxers shifting water to make the weight in a few hours but a bad idea for losing 'real' weight (fat, in this case).

 

Just my opinion though, I know different things work for different folk. I've been involved with boxing all my life and used to be a Biology teacher so this is my method. The science above ain't exact but its a bog standard explanation! Hope it helps though.

Not to pick holes in your thoughts mate....but the trouble with using ONLY cardio for weight loss is that most overweight people will run out of puff long before they run out of strength ( arms and legs as you call it ).....in other words their heart muscle is the first muscle to tire.

 

Using weights can certainly aid weight loss....low weight high reps for toning,heavy weight low reps for building,as im sure you know .....i know what your saying about boxers,must say over my lifetime though ive found boxing folk actually have far less understanding of general fitness than many other sports.

you would still loose weight quicker than normal mate if you were it do it regular mate but im not saying just do that its mostly down to what you eat

[blan89 159]

if your losing motivation,i'd say either get involved in a sport and or get a training partner.

You would only lose it till you rehydrated.....jumper&binbag = sweat.....sweat = water.......the lass wants to lose bodyfat not dehydrate herself
