Solution - gradually eat 100 less than maintenance for starters. No results, then reduce by another hundred calories. Exercise at least 45 days a week LIFTING WEIGHTS. Think of building muscle instead of the usual cardio, cardio, cardio. Lifting is MUCH better once you get on a proven workout program. Go to www.bodybuilding.com and spend hours on this website. Everything and everything is there. This isn't rocket science so the problem is you. People in general are weak minded, uninspired, LAZY and yes, lazy. You have to figure our YOUR goal and go slow with this because it is life long journey. Thing of gaining muscle, losing fat, weight will probably increase due to more muscle hence your body will gradually transfer and you will look and feel great! Get started. ![]() |

Plan your diet (include high amounts of healthy fats, moderate protein from animal sources, and low amounts of carbohydrates - avoid processed foods high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and seed oils high in omega 6).
Skip breakfast. Skip lunch. Don't eat snacks. Get plenty of electrolytes including salt. Get off the couch/chair and get some exercise. |

Oatmeal boiled with milk and banana or apple slices for breakfast.
4 slices of whole grain bread with some low fat slices of chicken/beef for lunch. Just regular dinner whatever you want but just one plate, don't take any extras. At least half an hour of cycling every day at your own pace Don't eat nothing inbetween just drink water or black coffee or maybe a kiwi or fruit with high fiber. Lost 10kg in few weeks... |

With all that said, I eat an abundance of carbs daily. As you begin to learn how your body reacts to different diets you will be able to find the best one for you. There is no perfect method for a mass of people. I see a lot posting certain diets/methods to follow, but bottom line is the work better for some and not so great for others. Continue to experiment and progress. Be diligent in how your body reacts. Be proud of that amount of weight loss too, nothing to scoff at. Losing the weight over a longer period of time, you'll have less of chance to gain it back. A lot will do short "intense" diets, lose a solid bit of weight, but in the long run it doesn't hold. |

For me, the easiest way was counting calories, was eating everything (more often I grill veggies and beef), had a great mood. Now I know my limits and never overeating. Last edited by incube; 07-13-2020 at 11:57 PM.. |

I am almost 50. I have been a "Gym Rat" since I played ball in High School. I have done a bit of everything except surgery.
The older you get. The Harder it will be to lose weight and maintain a nice physique... MUCH harder! But it can be done and I have maintained a good physique for my age no question. How do I know? Well... I am my own biggest critic. My lovely wife would NOT have it any other way. And when people mistake me for being in my mid 30s regularly, I know I am doing something right. ![]() To answer your question: Your calorie intake MUST be reduced and or burn more than you consume. Intermediate Fasting is VERY effective: For me, little to no Dinner is effective. Eliminate SUGAR!!! Limit simple carbs like bread, potato, rice, pasta to morning or afternoon meals: Do NOT eat them after 2pm. A combination of Strength Training and Cardio is a must. Above all else... DISCIPLINE to follow the above.

I have trouble sleeping and am generally fit and a friend recommended the Whole 30 program. For 30 days, you eliminate alcohol, sugar, processed food and dairy. I ended up feeling a little better and I lost 12 pounds. I'm a runner and I didn't have the energy to run after ten days so be careful if you try it. Since then, I'm more careful with what I eat and my body fat is much lower than it had been. You would be surprised what happens when you watch what you eat and exercise regularly.

Eliminate anything that is known for high reactions/inflammations in people and after 3-4 weeks you reintroduce those foods one by one to see if you have a sensitivity to anything. As much as I hate the Kardashians, Khloe lost weight as she gave up dairy. That could have been due to her eating excess energy from dairy products OR she was inflamed and without the presence of dairy, she lost water weight. |

Everyone has made a ton of great suggestions. I can chime in here on something that truly stuck with me a long time ago after a ton of research which is the 90/10 rule. 90% of your entire weight loss goal is related to food and only 10% is related to the workout portion. This has a lot to do with why people start working out and don’t lose weight so they quit. Well that’s only 10% of it, it is mostly related to what you eat. I am 5’7 and about 115 lbs. I know I know that’s crazy, I am a competitive runner and average about 60-75 miles of running a. Week.
I will tell you though just because I run a lot, I could eat almost anything I wanted but I don’t. Food is your performance and energy, so I try to always keep it on point. Something for you I would watch is all the animal products. I’m not saying all animal products are bad as I eat them too but I eat them in moderation. Meat is always my smallest weighted item on my plate while vegetable, fruits and REAL grains and beans out weigh everything. These are the vitamins and fuel you need. Too much animal products regardless of the cut of meat, type of meat etc is packed with lots of hidden salts and fats. The advice is always give is to just eat clean, and I will say meat products, dairy and cheese are not exactly clean. Also look at the hidden calories you can find. A cheeseburger for example, sounds good sometimes. Did you know 1 Tablespoon of Mayo is 120 calories and the slice of cheese is another 120. Just taking those off makes it 250 calories less. Flavored coffee creamer....I see this one a lot, it has 50 calories in 1 Tablespoon. Crazy I know and I see people dump 8-10 TB os this stuff. So starting your day your coffee has more calories than your breakfast. Just stay mentally strong, stay active to create that calorie deficit and you will succeed. And remember vegetables are basically free calories and energy at the same time. |

I think that people overcomplicate the process. What are you eating habits? If it's processed foods, it may be time to eat more foods from the Produce Dept. Processed foods may be infused with vitamins and minerals but nothing replaces the natural sources. Weight lifting over cardio is not the way to do it either, it is a good way of building muscle but it does not improve ones cardiovascular health. Everyone's body responds a little different, it's important to find what combination works for you and make it a program that you enjoy and will stick with.

It’s all diet, I can drop or gain 20lbs in a month with just my diet.
Two suggestions: Intermittent fasting, as it sounds like you do this sometimes already. I did in college as it just worked out with my schedule for eating after my class. Vegan, it’s what I’ve switched to for more energy, better health, and lower impact on the environment. Look at the studies but the data has shown this to be one of the most effective ways to lose weight and then KEEP it off. Also with this diet you can indulge as much as you want, as plant foods will fill you up quicker, and then take more calories to digest (a win, win). Last suggestion if you want to be anal, cook your own food. Going out to eat leads to a lot of things cooked in oils/fats because it just tastes better. That stuff adds up quick when you’re trying to lose weight, and you can make it at home in a healthier and tastier way. Just my 2 cents |
