weight loss

[me2007]

i`m speaking from personal experience here and dont claim to be a dietry guru...however the things that i do are

- if i need to drop 20lbs the quick and dirty way, i will give myself 8 weeks. I will take a Meal replacement in the morning, and one in the afternoon. At around 7 pm i`ll do a 3-5 mile run. Then afterward i will have my dinner. Thats all i`ll eat. I typically lose around 2-3 pounds a week doing this. But you must be strict and dont miss runs or add any meals. Try to get in a lot fo protein in this last meal. This is a bad method, and you may end up losing muscle weight which is very bad.

- If you want to do this correctly, you should eat 5-6 meals a day, they should be portioned according to your current weight and your active metabolic rate. You should eat around 250 calories under your active metalbolic rate (the amount calories you burn each day) and exercise another 500 or so off with running or x-training. This is the best way because you will lose fat and not muscle. You should consume about 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass (lean body mass = your fat % taken off your weight)

Personally, i dont have the disciplinee to do the second diet if i am already over weight. I therefore do the first diet and then move to the second one when i have lost 10-15lbs. When I am really strict like the first one, i know i`m losing weight, which psychologically i need to think in order to succeed. The second one is slower, but much better for you.

Thats what i do, Its wrong but it works.

the thing that confuses me with all this is,if you wanna lose weight you eat protein rich foods and if you wanna gain muscle you eat protein rich foods....its all too much for my little brain

protein builds and maintans muscles yes. but its per kcal the food type that makes you feel the fullest per gram, and protein takes more energy to digest than carbs.

if you wanna lose go high in protein, if youi wanna gain go hard in every thing.

you wont have protein to build if your so low in total energy intkae thet your body youse the protein for energyl.

hope you got ore ill try again

if u dnt drink alcohol theres no point in tryna lose weight, infact, theres no point in doin anythin anymore. u may aswell hang up ur gloves and lie in bed al day

not true, the keyword here as in most things are moderation.

i have a question for everyone im 16 and i was woundering if i do a very very strict diet will it effect my growing body? i am on a fairly balanced health diet right now where im loosing 1-2 pounds a week i have already lost 30 pounds in the past 4 months and need to loose another 10 pounds so i can get down to the 150s

Atkins is the best crash diet out there. You will lose atleast 10 pounds the first two weeks gurenteed, if you do it right.
