re: I need to lose weight

whatever man..... you do your thing and I'll do mine....
I needed to lose weight and I'm doing it. This system is working and there is science behind it. You may not agree with it and that's fine....

... but if you were me on Monday night you would be a believer... I can tell you that I could tell stuff was leaving me that I was just used to having in my system.
If you don't believe in it.... just don't do it....
I'm just saying it's working for me.

I'm all for what you are doing, buddy. I think it is great that you are making changes and I am sure you are felling better. Keep it up.

Eat less, move more.

just make sure to relieve your body of toxins. should be all good after that

So exercise more important than diet?

It's not that simple. You cannot outrun your fork. Most people can easily ingest more calories in 1 meal than they are physically capable of burning (taking their conditioning into consideration) all day.

Reducing calories to an amount below what you burn in a day will result in weight loss as others have said. So either eat less or exercise more or do both.

First off, not sure if it has been mentioned or not, but there's a thread on the food and drink board (Puttadaforkdown) sticky'd. Come join us...it's a good way to keep yourself in check if you're serious about trying to lose weight.

There's no magic answer anyone can give you to be successful at losing weight. However, tracking your food intake and knowing how much you need to be eating for your size is a huge part of it. I'm almost obsessive about tracking my food with myfitnesspal these days. My friends give me shite when I pull out my phone at dinner and find caloric information about some restaurant meal I'm thinking about eating.

I lost almost 75 pounds on diet alone originally. I lost an additional 40 or so pounds by continuing to restrict my calories and exercising. I lost about 100 pounds in a year and I'm now hovering around 115 pounds and have managed to keep it off for a while. But it's a never ending struggle as a former fatty. You'll deal with it the rest of your life.

Too much serious in this post for the OT but whatevs.

It's been four days bro.

You can still eat bad shite, just pick your battles. I used to eat terrible, but then I joined the Army and cant at all. Instead of trying to turn into a different person's diet overnight, I just use percentages.

Eat a very healthy breakfast (bananas, boiled egg, etc)

I can eat a hamburger at lunch, but no fries or coke. Only water

Salad with grilled chicken at night with one 12 oz can of coke.

I get my shitty meal in at lunch, and save the once a day coke for night so I end up looking forward to the salad.

I still eat fast foods, just no sides and only 12 oz of soda a day. I replaced coke and red bull with Advocare Spark (sugar free energy mix)

Snack healthy. Raw almonds, fruits etc.

Drink loads of water

Once you can maintain a 1/3 shitty diet like I've stated easily then you can transform into a total healthy diet.

People will shite on this, but I lost plenty weight this way and it's a very human approach to diet change.
