[botmann]

How old are u? Thats some crazy stuff u doin, all that u lost now is going to come back twice as fast...
I can believe ur still alive, this is some good methods to get an ulcer. Good old resistance training is the healthiest way to lose fat and look good. You have probably slammed your metabolism rate lower than anything...
Keep this updated, gonna be interesting to see u go from 71 to 80 in 5-7 days when u start to eat normal stuff.

[whoppe78]

I don't even know what most of that stuff is. I've been here 4 months and dropped 19 kilos. I don't eat break fast,I eat lunch around 12 pm (mostly vegetarian) and for dinner usually a salad. Plus some nights I eat the bbq fish they have at market. I do cardio 5-6 nights a week. Was lifting weights but old injury came back and I stopped.I've done fasting before which is similar to what your doing but when done I always put weight right back on.The idea is to eat right and not starve your self so the weight comes off gradually. My problem is when I go home I work in a pizza shop and way to many temptations. But good luck and keep excercising.

[MrRed]

That is not a diet program,that is crazy

Eat normally and get on the treadmill you will build your energy levels up and loose fat.

[whoppe78]

I agree 100%

[JuliaThazinMayerhofer]

Find it quite irresponsible to post something like that here and call it a "diet" - not a good example for others. And what you are doing is not good for your body - you will get all of it back sooner or later since you won't be able to keep a "diet" like that forever.

You should try to develop a more health lifestyle and good eating habits in general, that will help you to get sustainable results and keep the weigh down.

This is a FREE web site that will really open your eyes to what you are eating and possibly making big mistakes.  There is a paid subscription option but I recommend staying with the free account because the paid one is too much trouble trying to navigate all the extras they packed in.

For instance, I thought eating raisins was a healthy thing to do, but they are much higher in calories than I knew.  With this site, you can put in your height, weight, age and goals.  It will then set up a daily maximum calorie count, and you put in EVERYTHING you eat and all exercise (THIS is the real key, get off the couch!) and show you where you stand.  Good luck!

I dont know why people are so judgemental - if it worked for him, so be it.

18 months ago I hit 110kg (I'm 192cm tall, so I didnt look fat) but I started to notice it.  I took a very scientific approach.  I worked out that I needed 2600 calories a day to maintain my weight, so I rigidly limited myself to 1600.  Plus I walked - no hard exercise, just 3-4km a day plus a good 10km on Saturdays and Sundays.  The weight fell off.  I got down to 88, but everyone was saying I looked sick so I readjusted to around 92kg.

Since then I have maintained that level, give or take a kg up or down.

Dieting and losing weight is simple as anything.

True.. i got a calorie counter app. Works good for me. Still the workout is an other benefit as it is good for your health. You don't actually burn that much by exercise in general. Even if you work out hard. I know i workout a lot.

But exercise will make your muscles look better and your stamina better.

[Deserted]

I think you are going to have srious problems when its over. What you are doing is close to punishment. Instead, you should focus on a perminent lifestyle change where you eat healthily and minimally and take regular exercise. That way you will keep the weight off, which is harder than losing it in the first place.

I disagree completely.  I lost 20-odd kg very quickly, a fifth of my body weight.  After doing that I found I didnt want to eat so much - it felt uncomfortable.  Ive maintained the weightloss for well over a year now with no effort at all.

Bendinx, the not eating much is a permanent lifestyle change. If you keep on eating as much as you did b4 you will gain it back.

But your way of weight loosing is the normal one just getting a calorie deficit. I want to loose around 16 kg maybe 20 but i lost 6 already. Just by tracking my calories.

Exercise is great for the body but it does not burn much energy, the secret to weight loss is in how much you eat not exercise. It does help and its great for your health but for actual weight loss its not as good eating less.

Not to mention drinking (alcohol) less.

in my exp. the truth has been in what i eat more than how much i eat. i was gaining weight on a low cal diet because i was eating to much fat and empty carbs.  i dropped 1.5kg last week because i started eating smart and took in an avg of 500 cal. more per day.  i do an avg of 60 min per day in training as well and always have so the drop is not from the gym but from the right foods and a balance of crabs, fat and protien. IMO

Im not going to say you are wrong.. because that is your experience. I do agree that when your on a calorie deficit you need to watch what you eat and eat quality foods else you never get the right nutrients in your body.

I workout a lot.. 3 times heavy weight lifting and 4 times cardio on a spinning bike. But i dont think it will help that much. It does give me strong big muscles and stamina and a better health. So that is a great thing.

The point to my previous post was that though there are many encouraging stories of people who keep weight off for x-amount of time but perminent weight loss is perminent. I don't believe that, for example, 1-year programme can equate in terms of difficulty to a life time of maintaining your weight at a certain level. The ramifications of maintaining your weight are far greater, you will need to perminently remove vertain bad habits, you will need to perminently remain active, and you will need to take a perminent interest in your own health. Though some people can obviously manage this, most of us are creatures of preference and eventually revert to how we once were. The amount of time this takes often depends on the person involved. I don't wish to sound negative, but I have been doing long distance running for almost twenty years, my own wieght has fluctuated between 67-98 kilos. I've been through it alol and seen people succeed and fail. In my experience I have seen many people cut out things completely in order to reach a target, only then to slip back over time. Unless you can change your lifestyle so that you're not down the pub half the week, or snacking all the time, success will fleeting at best. Remember, these changes should be for the rest of your entire life, they go far beyond the demands of a diet programme and need a change of mind-set in order to work.
