Not all "Diets" work across the board for errybody.

I never been to a nutrionist but u should get a check up and see what u need and remove from your intake.

Im skinny though and eat everythang in moderation.

SUGAR IS THE DEVIL.

 

[Gary]

Trust me.

Seriously though, all you need is a gym membership and these 3 books.

Cut out fried foods, fast food, soda, switch to lite beer (if you drink), take the stairs instead of the elevator, daily walks or runs, drink alot of water. Eat healthy snacks instead of junk food and for God sake DON'T TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF!!!

-Drink 6-8 glasses of water or low sugar juice per day.
-Most people get something like 500-1000 kcal of energy per day than they need; basically the main thing that makes you gain weight is taking in more energy than you use, so...
-Exercise 3-4 times per week for 30-60 minutes to burn off the extra calories.
-Avoid eating between meals, but eat if you're actually hungry. That might sound contradictory, but try to get into a rhythm of knowing when and what your next meal is going to be, as this can help to cut down on the snacking.
-Cut out all the "extra" things you don't need like coffee and donuts, soft drinks, chips, alcohol, sweets, etc. If you don't buy that stuff and bring it into your home, then you'll end up eating way less of it.

One word of warning about "low calorie" food, though - lots of it has added to sodium to make up for the lower fat content (especially in places like Canada, where the sodium content in the food is often higher than the US equivalent). It's not so good to cut down the gut, but end up with hypertension.

Cut out juice altogether. It's just sugar water with none of the fiber that makes whole fruits so good for you.

Up your protein intake. It will keep you full for longer and help you maintain lean muscle mass.

Give us an idea of what you typically eat in a day.

FOOD
try to start cooking some simple things. make a big pot of brown rice or whole wheat pasta on sunday and eat it with different things throughout the week. you'll save money too

try to drink 95% water for a couple weeks. if you want a drink, have one. if you want some juice or soda, go ahead. but water should be the main thing. if you gotto, squeeze some lemon in it to make it more palatable

eat a good variety of steamed vegetables (steam till slightly crunchy) with olive oil and vinegar. cabbage, broccoli, greens, stringbeans, etc. i love it.

look for those recipes i sent you a while back

EXERCISE
aerobic things where you are going to sweat are great for losing weight.i play basketball and sweat my ass off.

still, its good to strengthen things too. 20 minutes of situps and pushups every day will do wonders. i try to do three sets of push ups one day, three sets situps the next.i skip days, its cool, no sweat.


high sodium can leave you looking bloated too.

or after seven pm.

C'mon son, your body doesn't shut down at a certain point in the day. You burn more calories sleeping than you do watching TV.

Hit the gym a few times a week. Get out and run, walk, swim, bike, skate, whatever. Cardio is important. Cut out processed sugars and simple carbs. Veggies, lean proteins, clean fats, complex carbs. You'll be back in Summer shape in no time.

You'll be back in Summer shape in no time.

thats the truth

its a good idea to not eat anything with high fructose corn syrup in the ingredient list. not cause its the worst thing on earth, but its a staple of highly processed shit food. avoid it and you screen out all kinds of garbage

[minneap]

If he cuts out food between noon and 3 pm he'll lose weight too. It's what you eat, not when.

 

[Lucious_Fox]

eat if you're actually hungry.
