So, I've realized that I've gained some weight that I would like to lose. I'm 5'6" and weigh 190lbs. According to
http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/library/blbmicalculator.htm
I need to weigh 150lbs in order to get into the "healthy" category.. right now I'm "obese" with 30.73 BMI. So.. I need to lose around 40-50lbs.
I don't know the first thing about nutrition, working out, etc. I can't afford to buy a gym membership.. but I own a pull up bar, some small weights and a treadmill.
What sort of nutrition should I try to follow? What should I eat, how often should I eat, what SHOULDNT I eat? How often should I work out? What should I do when I work out? How long should I run each day?
Also, how long should it take to lose 45lbs in a healthy way? How many lbs should I lose a week without being unhealthy?
Any help is appreciated.

if you're just trying to lose weight,
run
you should eat multiple small meals a day
try to keep a balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates of like..20-25%, 30%, and the rest carbs
Make sure you drink lots of water, eat plenty of fiber to stay regular
You should limit your saturated fat intake, try to eat as many unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats as possible
Realistically sustianing a weight loss of 2-3 lbs/week i think is pretty safe, after your first couple of weeks
try to do 60-90 minutes of semi active exercise, and actually use your treadmill at least 3-4 times a week

well since you can't afford a gym membership, perhaps you could go for a jog every day, and do some sit-ups and push-ups as well. regarding how long you should run, and how many *-ups you should do -- run until you get tired, but pace yourself, don't sprint for 10 minutes and gas yourself out.
for pushups and situps, just do 'em until you can't do anymore, and try to slowly increase the amount you do every few days.
fairly basic exercise, but if you jog a decent distance everyday you'll lose weight.
someone else would be better qualified to talk about nutrition, since my daily meals usually consist of ham sandwiches and apples.

Run 10 hours a day and only eat fruit/veggies. If you dont lose weight in 5 days make another thread. I promise results.

oh yeah, and ignore control's advice, since he's probably never followed it
|
assuming "multiple" means no more than three, i agree with the above.

Get off of the computer. Get outside, go swimming at your local pool every day for about 20 min. just do laps. Or you can do things like jump rope, running, etc...

Calories in < Calories out.
You can do this with diet or exercise, but a combination is best.

QFE
Read up on protein/fat/carbs. There are good and bad fats and there are good and bad carbs. Ultimately don't stress yourself over those stupid BMI calculators because Body Type can easily influence those in a negative or positive way.

Hm. Really, running isn't needed. And if you start and try to run and be all super healthy all at once you will just give up on it after about two weeks or so. What you need is a long term strategy that doesn't bother you too much.
For starters, make sure to eat three times a day. This is totally sufficient. Breakfast, lunch and supper. That will do. Of course what you eat is important as well. Don't eat too much, but more importantly, just stay away from obvious health hazards. Once again, you don't have to be superhealthy guy and only eat vegetables etc. just try eating normal food and eat a bit less than what you would normally eat. And if you ever do get very hungry say between lunch and supper, just take a fruit and some juice.
For example, if you are going to eat pasta and sausages you probably have a pretty good idea of how many sasuages you take and how much pasta you take. So simply make a choice to take less than that.
And if you don't usually move around alot you should start doing that. You don't have to run or join an exercise organization or whatever but just make sure to take a long walk every other day or so.
Walking and eating less (and specifically not eating shit) will make you lose weight and it won't be hard to do it at all. It might take a long time, but it's safe. Losing too much weight too fast isn't good either... Just stay away from cookies, chips, candy, coke, beer, french fries etc. they are not your friends. If you really must have them, treat yourself once a month or something.

And those feet are standing in a laundromat ironing my clothes or envying my non asian penis. Your penis is so fucking small it couldnt choke a hamster.

P.S. do a search for some of murph's threads, he gives pretty good advice about exercising which in key will help you lose weight.
