EPTI run in the morning right after I wake up w/o eating anything. I remember people said this burns the fat the FASTEST, although the setback is it may burn some muscle too. But, I decided whatever is faster to lose the fat NOW I would do that. I can build muscle after I have my 6pack. =P

You are right if you have a decent metabolism and you go to the gym fairly often that you can still maintain your physique. However, OP only has 30 lb dumb bells..? hardly enough to perform compound movements effectively enough to burn sufficient calories. If you only got 60 lbs total you'd have to perform about 100 reps of any exercise unless you're a complete weight training newb to get a decent workout...If you want to really start working out get a used weight set from a friend or online. Meanwhile the best you can do is probably fix up your diet by partitioning your meals like HamerD stated and eating relatively clean. Building up your bodyweight exercises would also help. People are different, saying a blanket statement like "diet is most important," is BS. Unless you have a thyroid malfunction or something, you won't just get fat working all the time. Of course, I don't really care about physique since I do power lifting and distance running. However, metabolism and diet ARE in fact important, but it's important to ensure that your diet keeps your metabolism fast. If you just eat very small amounts of healthy food and exercise a lot, your basal metabolic rate will decrease and you won't lose much weight. High activity and a diet geared toward high activity are important. There are lots of sites about diet and lifting, I don't care as much since I want to run far and lift heavy weights. I don't know much about body-building style diets or anything, but my body builder buddy ate 6 meals a day, tons of protein and fiber, and was tired all the time. But at least he was ripped. Again, it's most important to do research, and find out all the variables, what works for you etc. Someone else's plan may not give you results, including mine, for example. | ||

I been doing crunches 3 days a week for i don't know how long and i really can't see the six pack in my tummy  . Can anyone recomemnd me foods that i should eat every week? I'm relaly determined to get a six pack.Basically youve gotta cut out all the bad fats. Processed shit, etc. Good fats should come from nuts (almons and stuff liek that) some from milk is good and you can take fish oil pills as well. Aside from that, youve gotta have most of your protein coming from good, lean sources. If you love seafood, youre in luck, because most fish is kick ass for this. Chicken is also very good, turkey is pretty good. Carbs should be limited to whole wheat stuff and veggies. Aka, dont eat white breads, rice a roni, pasta (if youre gonna have the last two, its gotta be the whole wheat variety. ) Carbs should be eaten mostly during the day and light at dinner. Always make sure to get some in right after your workout to boost your glycogen (sppppp) levels edit: if youre drinking, you can forget about a 6pac btw, lol. 6pacs are made in the kitchen, and you wont be helping yourself with that. | ||

So, I'm looking to get in shape, lose some body fat, gain some muscle, that whole deal. I don't have an extensive weight set, just about thirty pound adjustable weights. If possible, could you guys tell your own workout regimens and how I should start? I'm not overweight, I just want to get in tip top shape for summer. I'll follow up here on what I'm doing so I stay accountable. Any and all assistance is immensely appreciated! 30lb dumbells arent gonna do a whole lot for ya man. You can definitely lose weight by running and eating better, but its gonna be pretty hard to gain any real muscle mass without going to a gym. Like you can use the dumbells for bi and tri exercise, maybe some shoulder stuff, but that's about it. Outside of that, do a lot of ab work, push ups, and a lot of pull ups and chin ups. The shitty thing is your body isgonna get used to it really fast and minimize the gains. | ||

Diet (not the commercial use of the term diet, but just what you eat) is important, especially when you're nearing in on your goal, but it's still about caloric deficit and you don't need to eat horribly bland food to gain muscle or lose weight. Back home I ate Qdoba burritos (no rice) + Royal Espresso Cafe for meals 3 days a week and I made a lot of progress. At school my food choices are even worse, but I'm still doing fairly well. I don't mean that you should gorge yourself on pizza, I still stay away from fried foods, creams, beef and I make sure I'm getting sufficient healthy carbs, but I still get to eat dessert and most of the other garbage they serve. That's not a sustainable lifestyle change and getting enough calories on that diet would be painful. This isn't like you diet just to lose weight for this summer, this is something you keep up your whole life so it should be a system that you can continue. You can still lose weight if youre just going to deficit, but its a lot more efficent doing it with a correct diet. Its fine to cheat nwo and then—im a drinker, so basically my weekends im more lax on what i eat—but for a person with average metabolism, you need to stay away from dessert and all that shit for most of the week. | ||

I need to lose about 20 kilos (thats like 45 pounds) and I know we cant do shortcuts but if there were some exercises we could do at home, would be really nice to know. high intensity interval training (HIIT). Not sure if you could do it at home, but if you hate jogging (like me) than it's great. An example is to sprint for 30 sec and then walk/jog for a few minutes. Take it easy at first if you haven't been exercising much lately. | ||
