If you want to lose weight, make your diet immaculate. If you want to gain muscle, train smart. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-blueprint-101/ | ||

One of the best ways to drop pounds is so do weight training first and then cardio. Weight training burns off a lot of the sugars in your body and the cardio will burn much more fat. | ||

If I'm doing cardio everyday, what's a good amount to meet that goal (never had to lose a specific amount of weight before, kinda just exercised when I felt way too fat and lost some random amount of weight after a couple months)? Is the 90-min/45-min every 2 days too much? I played tennis 5-6 hours a day before without feeling like I'm killing myself so is that actually too little? (I'll be doing sprint straights/jog curves on a regular track) I'll probably bump weight training to every other day rather than 3 times a week. I don't want to gain too much muscle, just want to be sleeker to jump higher/accelerate faster on runs. Again, thanks everyone, I've read every single reply multiple times and they've all been helpful (or, at the very least, a slap of reality). | ||

Okay, sounds like you actually are more focused on performance than aesthetics or general fitness. You say you don't want to gain to much muscle, well you'll be fine there are long as you aren't eating like crazy. It's pretty tough to put on lots of muscle if your in a caloric deficit. Basically, you don't need to be worried about getting bulky with the goals and exercise your proposing, it just isn't going to happen. Accelerate faster on runs? Like as in quickness/getting up to speed? I'm just trying to figure out if your more focused on being able to sprint faster or increase endurance. 90/45 every 2 days, is that like 90 minutes one day, 45 minutes the next, then 90, etc, etc.? Why sprint straights/jog curves? I don't see any real need to do that; though it will help if your a little more specific with exactly what sort of goals your shooting for. | ||

The first thing you need to find out is how much calories you burn every day say for example you burn 2500 calories if you did nothing but just sit on a chair. You could just eat 2000 calories every day and just sit on the chair and you would lose weight but of course its not easy. You could also eat 2500 calories eat every day and run to burn 500 calories. So you would lose 3500 calories every week which is 1 pound. And dont think you are clever if you drop down to 1000 calories a day that would make it only worse since it would put your body in starvation mode and you would start to store all your food you eat. I am as well currently following a very strict plan on losing weight. I run 30min every day (5km) I lift weights every 2nd day for 1 hour. I eat 6 meals a day. I drink ONLY water and MILK. (Avoid other drinks) Dont eat fast food or candy. Try to check all the foods you eat and see how much calories they have so you have an idea of how much calories you are going to eat. Also you can lose 2 pounds of fat every week at MAX anything more than that means you are losing muscle as well and thats not what you want to lose since muscle burns more calories than fat. | ||

You could ONLY eat chocolate and you would still lose weight IF you eat the right calorie amount , of course it would not be healthy and i do not recommend it but you could lose weight by eating anything if you just know how much calories you have to eat. | ||

but again, diet is CRUCIAL. you have to tailor your diet to your workout goal--remember that a pound of fat is roughly 3500 unburned calories.. | ||

Yea but if he removes all carbs he will likely be slashing his caloric intake quite significantly. Still not a great diet though. | ||

Doing a bunch of cardio isn't really going to help you that much. Just eat 500 calories below your maintenance level (google BMR calculator find out how many cals you need a day). Weight training (squat, deadlift, bench, etc.) 3x a week will help lose a bit more fat but will mostly lead to better body recomposition so you look better. | ||

I originally wrote up a 2 week plan followed with a month routine on the weight loss, i went through about a week and a half of it, lost between 12-15 pounds, but it was extreme hell... Wouldn't really recommend extreme lifestyle changes, i went from being decently content with my life to absolute shit, without energy, and it started to effect how i did things generally. Really, take it to heart when people suggest things extreme. | ||
