The key to lose weight is to do looooong and extended cardio training. By long, I don't mean 45 mins of running, more like 20-25 mins of running, immediately fallowed by 1h-1h30 of a random physical activity (any sport is ok, including musculation), and if you can, use a bike to come back to your house. Twice or once a week depending on your physical condition. The reasonning behind this is that the longer a physical activity goes on, the more your body will use your natural reserves to find the energy required. Passed 30 mins, your body will start to burn fat at a really good rate. The difficulty in this program is that if you don't have a decent heart, you wouldn't be able to execute it properly (ie women, really obese/unsportive man). Any repeated or extended pause in this program will ruin it. The program in this thread is about privation and short-term lose. Definitely not a healthy way of losing weight. Besides, thinking about gaining muscle ie weight when you're already obese is madness. Or else you might look like Incontrol, ie a lot of muscule and fat at the same time : a kind of gorilla. | ||

personally i have never dieted in my life, but i motivated myself to squeeze at least 1 hour of exercise into every day, in addition to normal participation of activities/sports. i feel a lot more confident and healthy, but i wouldn't say that i was unhappy before... i didn't take advice off anyone or follow a guide - it's basic scientific fact that exercise burns energy in the simple form of food or body fat. i find the diet/exercise regime subject quite amusing, as their are countless shortcuts, cheats, complex tips etc.. but at the end of the day it's about moving your body to burn energy and if you want to lose weight just stop putting excess energy into your body! once you get into the routine it becomes part of daily life and it's easy. that's the most important thing. make it a routine, make it so that your day is not 'complete' without exercise and you'll feel guilty for slacking and motivate yourself to catch up. the second most important thing is to not let it go too far. if fitness becomes your entire life then you sacrifice part of your personality and risk becoming shallow and vain. | ||

Besides, thinking about gaining muscle ie weight when you're already obese is madness. Or else you might look like Incontrol, ie a lot of muscule and fat at the same time : a kind of gorilla. Thats semi-right. Your body will use sugar and carbonhydrate supply for intense strength exercise (aka pumping iron, weightlifting etc) and will burn fat for long-term activity. Obviously its not exactly splitted in those two parts completely. Even if you go running you will burn some carbonhydrate and sugar supply. The thing is, most beginners can't run for 30 minutes to 1 hour. What you want to do is, as I stated burn your sugar and carbonhydrate supply before you do cardio. This way you make sure the body will burn fat, since it has no supplies it can use. Also most beginners overdo it. Doing sports is fine, but if you start and you want to do 4-6 times sport a week - you will lose motivation. If you do a good 3 split (chest/triceps, back/biceps, legs+shoulders) with cardio after each set, you will be good to go and will lose weight. Its 3 times sport a week with enough time for your body to regenerate.

Every fat or overweight person that states "I'm happy as I am" or satisfied with what I got does say that, because they don't know better. I had 30-40lbs more than I have now. (I'm 176, 76KG and still want to lose 4KG to push body fat down a bit). You feel so much better, more active... more fit, everything. A fat person can say whatever he/she wants - being healthy is better and feels better. | ||

Not that BMI is anything great but that weight and height puts one smack dab in the middle of the normal BMI range. If you look at the people that are truly lean (but still very healthy) such as elite runners most of them are right around or just under the 20 BMI range. Obviously 6'3" 175 isn't ripped, but most guys at that aren't going to be sticks either. | ||

Hahaha, I completely overlooked that line. How does creatine help you with losing weight? Creatine is used to save water supply in your muscle to "pump them" and also increased strength (at least it has that affect for lots of people). So it won't make you lose fat, but make you look more bufffed. Its not dangerous if used correctly. You need to drink a lot, if not, it can damage your body but only if you overdo it. For a skinny person - non bodybuilder - creatine is absolutely not needed. | ||

The diet is just to cut those stubborn stomach fat fast which would otherwise take at least 1-2 months to shave. Not worried about muscle mass loss thanks ^^ | ||

First of all, how is it arrogant. Could be ignorant but I seem to miss your point, since you agree that you feel better with less weight. They can say they are happy as they are, but I would say, they would be even more happy with less weight. Its just like the same bullshit when people say "looks doesn't matter when falling in love" - yes, they do. First thing you see are the "looks" - not more, not less. You would never go and chat up a girl you don't like from the looks to begin with. Thats how the human mind works, at least partly. I never said that you should worry about everything and obviously psychological health is more important, yet being more healthy and havinga good body will only bring advantages if you don't want to force it. | ||

Becoming more sexually attractive is just a side effect. Its just that you feel better, because you have more stamina, you don't sweat as fast, you feel more healthy, more fit all around. How am I shallow, just because I'm saying that a good body only brings advantages? When you say you lost like 50lbs, you should know what I'm talking about. I'm not interested in pulling chicks left and right, but in living healthy and doing myself a favor. If someone wants to be overweight and is satisfied with that, its fine for me - but doesn't change my opinion that I'm certain the person would be more glad if he/she would know the difference. Edit: I also have overweight friends and I have no problem with people being overweight. I can have fun with them as I can with other people, I do not laugh at them or anything, how am I shallow. Its just a different opinion and you are being ignorant my friend ;-) | ||
