If you burn more calories then you intake, you will lose weight. This is somewhat shown by the twinkie diet. For all around health you want to eat well and exercise. Everyone is different body type and structure so its different for everyone. Just try to find time to get some exercise in, sometimes people don't have time with work and school so it takes substituting like biking to work instead of driving, stairs vs elevator, etc. | ||

I am an idiot and cannot read, OP was losing .5 to one pound per day, not per week. Still, pretty much all the advice in the OP is excellent and has some great ways of thinking about things, especially with regards to motivation. | ||

I approve of the OP's post as well although losing 1 pound a day is not healthy for you and most of the weight loss in the beginning will be water weight. Another tip ishave a cheat day once a week, twice a week if your much overweight or else you will plateau. Much like muscle building you have to trick your body. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/harris-benedict-equation/ | ||

You don't lose weight by: Lifting weights Doing situps Doing pushups Going on diets without exercising Taking pills Whilst I agree cardio is the most important aspect to fat lost, doing a combination of cardio and weight training I hear is ideal. | ||

If you force yourself through a brutal diet that turns ur life upside down, you'll simply gain all your weight back. If you really wanna lose weight, you need to do it incrementally No, you won't gain your weight back IF you settle into good eating habits after. You could crash diet your way through 3+ lbs/wk weight loss, lose 30 pounds, and if you then make the switch to eating properly from there at the right caloric level you will be fine. However, most people crash diet, get somewhere, and then because of that either reward themselves with a bunch of eating and start to gain it back OR return to their old eating habits, which got them there in the first place, and slowly gain it back. They gain it back not because of crazy dieting but because they see it as a dichotomy between dieting and "normal". Once they get where they want they go off "diet" mode and go back to normal mode and regain weight. Once the "dieting" phase is over you have to make sure you understand the amount of calories it takes to be energy neutral and proper eating habits. Dieting really should be a lifetime change, the only difference is that when your in the weight loss period you eat slightly less than you would when you reach goal weight and are just holding steady. Honestly thought the easiest way to sum up diet is in 7 words: Eat Food, Not too Much, Mostly Plants. By food, I mean stuff your great-great-great grandparent would recognize as food, cut out all this synthetic and processed food that we have today. Its usually highly caloric and nutrient deficient. Not too much is self explanatory. Eat enough to feel satisfied NOT full, eat slowly as well so you don't overeat and fill up before your body as a chance to notice. Mostly plants means just that, each meal if you were to section your plate off should be something like half plants or more. This is good for two reasons, one is that most fruits and vegetables are straight up awesome for you, and secondly they tend to be high in water and not caloricly dense. This means you can eat more. What sounds more satisfying, a regular .59c bag of MnM's from the grocery store or a banana, an apple, a cup of blackberries and 2 cups of brocoli (both are equivalent calorically). | ||

If you allocate 500 calories to each meal, plus another 200-500 for snacks, you should be fine. Probably want a multivitamin, because it's really tough to get all the nutritional needs, unless you want to spend the time to research a perfect food composition everyday. Also, stay away from American restaurants which feed you 2k calories plus 200% of your sodium needs in 1 meal. Most Americans are so fat, it's disgusting. | ||

People who have high protein, low calorie diets coupled with good exercise do end up building a very healthy body, but I'd argue mental toughness is far more important than how much you're lifting. It's the mental toughness that keeps people exercising even after their primary motivation starts losing its appeal. It's that same fortitude that lets these hardcore diet+exercisers stay on course where other people drop out. | ||

Step two, track your calories, limit your daily intake. Cals in, cals out. Eating weight watchers/lindora food won't make you skinny, you will stay/get more fat with the same amount of calories you would usually intake anyways. Step three, excercise. Did you follow step one? Don't stress yourself trying to follow this anon's plan just because it worked for him, because that does NOT mean it will work for you. Find a diet that suits you. There is no easy way. | ||

I do about 6h(3x2h) cardio every week + 5x5 gym workout(x3 a week), it is hard, but i like it. Getting started is hard i know. The main thing is just do it. You dont have to do running, there are other ways how to train. I didnt like running so i looked for something else and skiing game up. I have done my cardio for only 1.5months and now i can see a change in my looks. In my opinion people shouldnt look at bmi or fat percent in your body. Look in a god damn mirror, if you like what you see you are fine!! Also i think diet isnt for anyone but a lot of workout means you can eat what you want and i quite like it. I eat huge amounts of food every day and i just wont gain any weights because i do enought workout. | ||

If you weigh a few hundred pounds more than you should, few things compares in health benefits to loosing the weight. Most VLCDs are very strict tho with timeframes and many proponents of this type of dieting advice their clients to consult a doctor at steady intervals during the diet. | ||
