Im New And Want To Loose Weight - Fast

[Unanimous]

NEVER skip breakfast. Man, it looks like you need some serious nutrition help. I ain't got time as I'm sneaking replies while I'm at work but there's some good lads on here with great info. Also, what's your problem with milk? I've already told you, just have skimmed or semi-skimmed.

i havent got a problem with milk, i dont drink it much anyways, as for having it with breakfast, i have never put milk in a bowl with cerial....just the way i am i suppose..

Ok, So Drink Water Whenever i need a drink ... What About EAting in the daytime....eat when im hungury??, i work 7.30 - 5 (exept today) and dont really have any type of breakfast, i stop at 10am to have a snack (no fruit, probs crisps or potatoe chips ) and then have dinner at around 7.30, if i get hungury i chew gum...ive been told this is bad as it can lead to stomache ulsers !, i need to write a detailed food skedule really, as for breakfast, on a saturday, id have 1-2 bowls of cornflakes (with no milk - DRY ! ), but the side of the box states all the info like, carbs ect, with serving of milk...so has anyone got a good diet plan with eating times...ect...then i need to layer a exercise plan to corrispond with the diet..

sorry but thats an awful diet, make it look something like this


breakfast: 4 slices wholemeal toast with low fat butter/margarine(or reduced fat peanut butter, but not both); 1 glass water/good fruit juice (not the sugary kind) 1 tub low fat yoghurt, 1 orange/apple/banana watever fruit u like OR instead of wholemeal toast u can have a bowl of porridge/oatmeal made with low fat milk and a little sugar to sweeten

mid morning snack: 1 item of fruit (whatever) or a tub of low fat yoghurt or 1 muesli bar (not the kind with chocolate bits or wateva)

Lunch: A couple of turkey sandwiches on wholemeal bread w low fat butter and a handful of unsalted nuts are a healthy option u can take to work easily

mid afternoon snack: Same as mid morning options


Dinner: something like a grilled chicken salad is a great option, a piece of lean steak that is grilled with some salad/veggies is also good. grilled fish and salad/veggies is good too, eat vegetables raw as they still have most of their nutrients this way

dessert: 2 scoops LOW FAT ice cream in a bowl or some fruit if you want

this is a wholesome diet that should keep you satisfied, try and eat dinner and dessert before 7:30 or 8pm as eating after this time isnt good for your metabolism, drink water or a non sugary fruit juice if you wish. try and get to 8 glasses a day

for exercise try and dosome fat burning running exercises 4 times a week on days you dont have your two circuit classes(have one day off per week), try and walk as much as you can, take the stairs etc.. some great running exercises are

run as fast as you can for 2-3 mins
rest 1 min
repeat three-five times try and go as fast as you can physically run and you will feel it.

hill sprints, find a small but rather steep incline you think you can handle (im talking about a small hill not a mountain) and run up and down as quick as you can 10 times, repeat this until your legs wont go anymore and your heart is beating like mad

run steady swift pace for ten mins
walk 5 mins

repeat 2-3 times

do one of these running workouts on the days you dont have your class you have been going to, they burn plenty of fat.

try and stick as well as you can to this plan and you will drop weight, oh and another thing, go to bed early and get plenty of sleep

Yeah - don't have it . Fastfood just stay away from it if you can - you will begin to see how you really don't want it that bad, and, after about a month of not having it, you won't even be thinking about it.

Alcohol I don't know too much about because I don't drink myself, but one or two beers on a weekend probably won't kill you. Ideally, you want to stop drinking it as well.

for about 5 bucks you can buy a bottle of caffeine pills online, take two of these in the morning and your body works harder and heats up, this will shrink alot of that excess fat if you diet properly and work out. Stay warm and caffeine can really work wonders as its thermogenics kick in. Also you will piss a bit at first, but thats okay. I recently read that caffeine inhibits hair growth so if you are trying to grow out some nice locks, I wouldn't use it that much, but if you don't care, go for it. Alot of people will recommend a caffeine and ephedra stack. I tried this and lost alot of weight, but the ephedra really ****s with your mind and you can get angry fits, also I noticed the ephedra will cause you to maybe even blackout or get dizzy spells when you stand up quickly.. caffeine is good enough and safe.

hope this helps

ok....so with what aussieboxer said, also take 2 caffine tablets in the morning, i am a builder so im always pysical while at work anyways, im not like, in an office sitting on my ass.....also, for breakfast, is dry cerial ok ? and what about energy drinks, aka red bull ect....

Aussieboxer's diet is very good and wholesome, a very good balanced diet. Although, I would say cut the regular dessert, if you want a treat every so often fine but it's unnessecary. As for fruit choices, bananas are always a favorite here in England. They taste nice, are not that big but are reasonably filling and release energy slowly rather than in bursts.

Fast food = ****e. I won't lie, at Uni' I sometimes have a pizza delivered because I have no food in or really can't be assed to cook and to be honest, they taste like crap. I'd say keep it as a "treat" (more like punishment) for when you REALLY can't be bothered to cook. Don't have one because you like the idea of one or you're by one, the only reason you actually like the idea of one is because you're hungry, when you've eaten, you wont want one, so, fight the urge and just cook. McDonald's may taste reasonable, granted they pump it with sauce to hide the taste, but next time you or a mate has one, have a little look at the burger and that's ratio to the bun and sauce...When you buy a burger you're buying bread, sauce, sugar, fat and a side serving of low quality beef. A kebab is unhealthy, despite claims that it comes with a small salad, it's high fat (like all fast food) but at least it's bloody meat, so you know, I guess that's better than a McDonald's burger, chips, soft drink and ice cream as a dinner.

Alcahol is fine to have every so often, I would say keep it to the weekends. Like I posted before, it has a short term slowing effect on the metabolism which means having a few in the evening for no other reason than to "chill out" is actually pretty bad. I personally reserve alcahol for when getting drunk. As I view it, what's the point of drinking it if you're not going to get drunk? It doesn't taste as good as other drinks and there's only one positive to it, being drunk, which means if you're not going to get drunk then it's got no positives. This doesn't mean everytime you open a can you go "well that guy on the forum said it's only worth it if I get drunk so I better have 12 pints instead of this 1 can..." I mean, cut it out from random drinking or when you just go down the pub (or just have 1) and basically reserve it for when going out or an occassion. Bitter is also better, A) it's a man's drink, grrr B) it has some good properties, isn't good for you, but is better than lager. Another good thing is you wont want to drink 5 pints of Guiness at the pub with your mates, you'll have 2-3 and think "ok, orange juice next time..." haha. Though remember, it does carry more bulk with it, so drinking loads of it will have an adverse effect on weight loss.

As for energy boosts, if you need things such as RedBull during the day then it's a sign that your diet is crap. Don't touch the stuff. A) It's actually bloody useless and people don't realise. It actually has an adverse effect, it's a short term boost which then uses up energy and therefore after the initial boost you flop down below the energy levels of before. B) It's pumped with sugar. If you really would like a little kick then have a cup of tea (my Englishness is showing, right?). It contains caffeine but isn't as high as coffee, you control the amount of sugar but exceeding 2 tea-spoons is considered abit excessive here. Tea also has fat eating properties (doesn't mean gulp it down, remember it does contain toxins and caffeine too). There is a myth that green tea is best for 'eating fat', this isn't true, it has the same amount of ability as offer teas, black tea is best (normal tea). Tea also has alot of good properties if you don't mix milk with it, mixing milk with it does void these which is abit weird but true, though I wont lie, I mix milk with it.

Hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure that Red Bull is banned in Denmark (as well as trans fats). Things must be bad if a whole country bans it imo.
