Your goal should be to become more healthy. If you follow an unhealthy diet you'll lose weight but have health problems later on.Losing weight is about restricting calories compared to expenditure. Where they come from doesn't matter too much (ignoring lack of vitamin issues, but that's not hard to supplement in). This is really well established in the medical literature at this point. And a "healthy diet" also isn't well established either, but that's a whole other issue. This guy's calorie restriction diet is a tad rough, but fully functional. Just realize that calorie restriction diets are *hard* during the adjustment phase. But once you're adjusted to them, you operate just fine. Look it's very very simple: if you need medical advice (as losing weight is) then you go see a doctor for a healthy way to do it. Instead of reading unhealthy crap on the internet from randoms with of unknown qualification. | ||

Running is the best way to loose weight, so about 80% of the exercise should be running/walking. And remember, too much muscle mass, just as too much fat on the body, is ugly and makes one look stupid (think of Conan the Barbarian). Plus, supplements are totally unneccessary and costly. Anyway, good job on the article. | ||

Running is the best way to lose weight and also the best way to damage your knees. If you are overweight, swimming, strength - training with cardio afterwards, but not much running to start off is a lot better. ;-) | ||

If you're doing the pararescue stuff with the Air Force, I'd seriously suggest you bulk up. I'm 6'2 190lbs at the moment and I'm still pretty skinny. I think you took weight loss to the extreme and didn't stop doing it at the proper time. You should probably look into doing some bulking up to like 200lbs, it'll help with pararescue immensely. | ||

It's better to train on a crosstrainer, hometrainer or even walk. | ||

Watching the Pounds Drop: Tips and Tricks So you’ve got your diet, you’ve got your exercise program, now you want to know how to maximize your weight loss, so that you can be proud of every day you step onto the scale. Here’s a list of tips and tricks: - Stop eating within 4 hours of going to bed. This is almost patently untrue, depending on of course, how much you eat and what it is. Your body burns a great deal of calories digesting food... So if you can pack down some food for your body to digest while you sleep, you can let your metabolism take care of some calories. Now of course, you don't wanna eat a big mac before you sleep. But some protein (harder to digest, hence burning more calories), like a small chicken breast, will actually help you get more cut while you sleep. Just ask the guy who played Thor, you want to have 6 small meals a day, keep that stomach churning food... Just not large quantities of food. Other than that, good guide. | ||

I'd think it's weight lifting. | ||

how should having a summer's flue influence my sports shedule? I'm trying to lose about 15 pounds (weighing 130 right now), but I really feel that sport is much harder if you can't breathe properly... Thanks! | ||

I guess its a bit like cheating, although I think it has to do with working intelligently, so you work less. Structured water is biophysical equal to spring water. In fact, it IS spring water. Since it is organized, it hydrates better, and assimilates nutrients better. I also was able to successfully stop my masterbation addiction with this. (for people who aren't aware, 3+ a week will lead to chronic inflammation, and lead to adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalances + more) The water is also anti-pathogenic, so quite literally I can go out right now, have sex with a hooker, contract AIDS and the AIDS virus will die. This water has successfully cured AIDS. No joke, study is here. “The Physiological Effect of MRET Activated Water on Patients Suffering from AIDS” by Igor Smirnov, Ph. D., Explore Magazine, Vol. 15, No 2, 2006, USA. Your body is made up of water in two forms, Intra-Cellular (fluid inside the cells) and Extra-Cellular (fluid outside the cells). All energy comes from the water in your cells. Being hydrated in your cells is what will give you that energy and performance you need and are looking for. Accelerated hydration Increased oxygenation Muscles producing more power Increased endurance Less cramping in muscles No “sloshing” feeling in the gut Faster recovery Enhanced nutritional supplement absorption Helps detoxify Serves as a powerful anti-oxidant Promotes cellular communication Honestly half of you will disregard this or flame it but I've never felt happier, stronger, and more positive in my life. I'm also at a point where I'm going to run a marathon. And I used to weigh 240 pounds 6 months ago. You guys might say that is a lot of weight to lose in a short time and things might be a bit excessive but with your body mass being so much water and having all your water being structured, it simply makes everything you do more efficient. I feel more mentally aware, more mentally acute and I actually don't even get mad any more. I am more patient and I was always a very impulsive person as a child. Before you discredit this, simply check out these websites for reference. I'm pretty sure if you are going to take a supplement, take this. It isn't a supplement exactly, but it makes EVERYTHING you do with your body MORE efficient. Its logical. Why work harder, for less. Studies on this water http://www.cocoonnutrition.org/catalog/page_MRET.php http://www.all3sports.com/product_info.php?pName=base-performance-nutrition-base-water&jsenabled=1&osCsid=8e302f61558269c8a0f5cb7835f42fcf http://ferrisholding.com/structuredwater.html I'm astounded that people read pseudoscience on some blog, or a website that sells the snake-oil and then will blindly boast about it. Where is the proof? How about a peer-reviewed paper regarding the benefits of "structured water", or "MRET Activated water". Oh wait, that's impossible because it doesn't exist. (Note: There is such a thing as structured water, but has no correlation to the claims of this pseudo scientific garbage) You then try to backup your claims by linking to websites who benefit from these scams. How about a reliable source? It's almost as hilarious as your completely baseless claim that masturbating 3+ times a week has serious side effects. Mind providing proof of that one too? Let's take our tinfoil hats off for a second and be adults. | ||

I think this is interesting I was doing something similar back in December and was losing a lot of weight but I didn't stick to it and ended up gaining back most of the weight that I had lost. I Really enjoyed the OP it had a lot of very awesome information and I think I will be trying this starting on Monday. I work Full time so I will be changing around a lot of the stuff like jogging on lunch and workout times later. Only thing I would change is adding more veggies into your diet. I think you might have mentioned it but someone was bitching about it on another post. Seeing that it worked for you and your doing great now is super awesome  thanks for posting this and giving me the motivation to start back up and training again. So thanks. Also L_Master thanks for a lot of the great posting on this thread | ||

This is a pretty good and reasonable thread, especially when there's so much bullshit and pseudoscience around losing weight. I'd like to add that you should do squats and deadlifts.(With proper form obv.) They're amazing and manly. | ||

If it can get your heart rate into the target fat burning zone then it is good. After a dance or game, check your pulse for ten seconds then multiply by 6. If its in the target zone (google the zone for your age group) and you can sustain that heart rate, then yes it is good. If you're breathing heavy / sweating too that is also a good sign. Its all about raising your heart rate to a specific level and maintaining it there for a duration. This is what HIIT training is popular as it spikes your heart rate from a good sprint then stays up there for a couple minutes while you just walk to rest. Then when it starts to go down you just sprint again. | ||

Its more of a sprint workout since you're not sustaining the movement continuously., but rather taking a break after each song. That being said, dancing is quite a good workout and if you keep your heartrate in the target zone as above, is healthy for you. However, 9 foot on heavy is good though im at 12 XD. Thats how i lost weight, dancing to DDR 1-2 hours a day | ||
