Weight loss tips for fat cunts

she is rough.<br />
<br />
Coastie, main reason you lose weight quickly on that diet is because you lose water, which isn't fat. Its not a long term solution.<br />
<br />
Barn, best advice is to vary the type of exercise, its also better to work for 20 - 30 minutes at a higher intensity than it is to work for an hour at a low intensity, cut down on fat intake and eat smaller meals more often, its advice I should follow myself but don't. -
Speaking of fitness programs - has anyone here tried the Spartan Health regime? (or know someone wjp has) I hear its a worthy book with all the eating, fitness, and health stuff in one place and a no bullshit approach.<br />

Has she had kids? That can contribute to major sagginess if breastfeeding happens.<br />
<br />
Coastie's regime is actually a very good one and I did a couple of those simple things to shed a bit of pork fat a couple of years back (though I put it back on through lack of willpower). My system was:<br />
<br />- No carbs after lunch time - so dinner excludes potatoes, rice, and pasta which are three of the big killers. These can be bloody hard to remove because we're conditoned as kids to eat them. If you want to have carbs for breakfast or lunch then feel free because there is a good chance you'll burn them. The problem is carb intake during the evening where you're unlikely to use the energy :nta though your nocturnal goat-pushing activities might help here <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /><br />
<br />
<br /> - Muscle training - things you can do without using equipment. This helps you burn energy and define some shape. Aim to do each of the four once per day in order, and preferably at the same time of day so you can consistently judge your performance. Do a set of each in the order below daily, as many as you can each time, and repeat three times with a 30 second break between each:<br />
[b]Pushups[/b] - you can vary this by e.g. putting your feet up on a bench instead of on the same level as your hands. That way you work a slightly different part of the muscle.<br />
[b]Crunches[/b] (NOT situps) - do standard crunches, vary with crossovers, static holds (crunch up and hold for as long as possible - aim to increase by 15 second intervals)<br />
[b]Chinups[/b] - tough for a fat bastard like me but easier once the weight goes down<br />
[b]Lunges[/b] (each leg) - has to be done correctly - abs tensed, torso upright, feel the push with your glutes and the stretch through your legs. Don't let your front knee go forward, and get your back knee onto the floor each time.<br />
<br />
If on Monday you did 30 pushups in the first set, but on Tuesday could only do 25, then go through the exercises only once - the idea is to improve your muscle, not continually bash it into submission, and your body needs time to recover. Helps if you log this stuff so you can keep an eye on your improvement not just at the first set, but for ALL the sets. You may not improve radically on the first lot, but your endurance increases so that the second and third are better as time goes by.<br />
<br />
<br /> - Fitness training - I don't run any more due to shin splints but cycle now (not as often as I'd like but daylight saving is here so I'm out of excuses) and as a general rule will do up to an hour or so a minimum of twice a week. Roadwork whether running or cycling is a key to fitness.<br />
<br />
<br /> - Drink minimum 2 litres of water per day and more if you keep exercising hard. Throw away those "Sports Drinks" as they won't really serve you any better. You're going to go to the toilet a lot anyway.<br />
<br />
<br /> - I find that a multivitamin tablet per day helps. If you eat enough fresh fruit and veg then you'll piss half the vitamins out (watch for that bright green stream <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />) but you've got to make sure that your body has enough juice to keep going.<br />
<br />
Now I'm thinking about doing it all over again and to be frank could bloody do with a significant trim. I did 5 push ups the other night and thought I'd given myself a cerebral haemorrhage <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

body for life - get the book, and follow the eating plan. basically 6 meals a day etc. <br />
<br />
Once you wade through all the yank bullshit, trying to sell you suppliments etc (which you don't need), it is pretty handy.<br />
<br />
I have been following that for about 8 weeks (and have done it before with great results too), and it is working a treat.<br />
<br />
Don't follow their training regime, as have mine own. <br />
<br />
I've been rowing on an erg 4 times a week, and weights twice a week.<br />
<br />
Monday - row 5k and 10k (morning / evening)<br />
Tuesday - row - weights 2 x 5k rows 1 in morning 1 evening before weights<br />
Wednesday - see monday<br />
Thursday - see Tuesday<br />
Friday is usually touch, and perhaps a 20 minute row - just a cruise, not hard out<br />
Saturday and Sunday, whatever you want to do - if you do nothing over the weekend, you sure hit the ground running on the monday for that fiurst row!!<br />
<br />
Best thing about teh boyd for live eating - one day of seven, eat whatever shit you like, drink what you like, amke a pig of yourself. However, you start not doing it anyway, as your huinger for the bad foods vanish.<br />
<br />
I have gone from 118 to 107 with first the weights / rowing for last 10-12 weeks, and the eating in the last couple of months.<br />
<br />
Back to my playing weight, 6 years on, look out world, and touch rugby, I am now officially dangerous :coolsmiley: -
I probably shouldn't be posting in this thread, considering I may well be the heaviest Ferner and, let's face it, just a coronary away from a triple bypass... but that's never stopped me before.<br />
<br />
What you need is a balance diet yet, i.e. big breakie, good lunch and very little for dinner, no snacks in between of course. If you eat too much after 3pm you're farked.<br />
<br />
Also loads of veg and fruits, 5 different kinds a day minimum. -
-
I have different take on diets that require 5 or 6 luittle meals a day. I tried 'em and they never work for me, it makes me feel like a cow, half-full, half-empty, continually grazing, never satisfied, and the meal frequency means i'm always thinking of food. <br />
<br />
I like gorging myself but i also don't mind hunger, and being free of food thoughts for periods. So I work around this. <br />
My big meal is dinner where I eat as much meat, fish, eggs, veg, fruit as i wont but i have no or very little starches or refined sugar. For breakfast and lunch I have smaller meals, avoid filling myself up, and have a normal mix of protein, carbs, fats. <br />
<br />
ie. Breakfast: peanut butter and honey sanwich, glass 2% milk; or porridge w/ honey and glass milk; or ommelette. (8-9am)<br />
  Lunch: order in at work usually, so sandwich or one of those rice/meat/veg meal combo things that 50kg women think are filling meals. bit of fruit (1pm)<br />
  Might have small snack at 6pm if going for heavy gym session in evening. Other than this I dont snack at all.<br />
 Dinner: Bunch (4-8) sole filets, asparagus, 1 piece fruit; or, 3/4 - 1 whole roast chicken, spinach etc. I eat until I dont want or cant eat any more. Usually have this meal btw 8-9 pm. <br />
<br />
Other things:<br />
<br />
Drink loads of water<br />
<br />
lift heavy weights in multijoint lifts, i find this as effective and more pleasant than doing loads of cardio: squats, dls, cleans, snatch, jerk. <br />
<br />
sleep loads. very important, dont know why but 9 hrs or more works a treat for weight loss for me. <br />
<br />
get laid. not joking. not coz of the enrgy expended in the act. but fustration when going without can (for me anyway) be taken out on food. -

Point 1 - recovery basically. A lot of weight trainers recommend an afternoon nap. Freshens the mind and the body.<br />
<br />
Point 2 - agreed <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> -

Take your point but you still need to drink loads of water and can burn up fat with the exercise on South Beach. The first 2 weeks is basically trying to get your body flushed of toxins brought on from lots of everyday foods you eat. As Bart points out your body also needs conditioning not to crave the foods that give you the sugar hits and stores the fat. Once you stop eating them you'll find you don't really want to eat them. This is not even that tough to stick to if you have a small amount of self discipline. Avoiding carbo loaded food in the evenings means that the unused carbos the body doesn't burn will not turn to fat. There are various stages of the diet you can revert back to if you find yourself slipping. Pretty easy overall. Went from 90kgs down to 83 in the first 2 weeks and have managed to stay around that mark for the past 6 months.Â

sorry, wasn't implying that you dehydrate, just that you lose water you normally retain in muscles etc. That always builds up again which is the main reason that weight lost on things like Atkins is so fast at first before slowing down. -
True Dodge and I'd never use the low-carb thing for long periods (mostly because it shits me). But you could also say that an exercise routine of any kind will start to slow down its effects after a quick start - there is a point at about 6 weeks where your progress starts to taper off because your body wakes up to the exercises you're doing and you have to change to see more progress.<br />
<br />
The main thing about getting the weight off quickly through carb-cutting means you can actually do more exercise for longer periods which is the key thing. -

<br />
Yup. The 5-6 meal thing a day is more trouble than it's worth as far as I'm concerned. I just am not going to prepared 6 meals a day; Christ, three has me stretched.

In my weight loss phases I have concentrated on reducing sugar and refined carb intake. Lowering GI of foods has been a goal. <br />
<br />
It is worth checking out the "zone diet" book too. Written by a prof of biochemistry. -
[quote name='BartMan']<br />
starting by knocking off bread is a good one - I a typical Kiwi, and bread n butter goes with ANY meal. Soon as I reduced intake to nothing but perhaps sandwich for lunch, weight started flowing off, and started feeling so clogged too.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Yep, cutting back the bread can be good, especially if you eat refined grain (white) bread. Can be difficult to be sure your is wholegrain too. -
Have dropped 5kgs in 8 weeks.<br />
<br />
Main tips:<br />
<br />- Exercise (cardio) first thing in the morning for at least 30 mins<br />
- Before you do any cardio exercise in the evenings begin by lifting weights for 20-30 mins <br />
- Drop all carbs after 5pm<br />
- Do no more than 1 hour cardio at a time - or you will lose muscle<br />
- Stay off the drink<br />
- Rest when your body feels tired

Not recommended by many doctors, but I lost a lot of weight on the ecstasy/speed diet while in London. For 2 years, I was very trim, and probably the most fun diet out there. Of course, my brain was mush by the end of it, but you can#t have everything... :idiot2:
-
yes IR - if you just lose cardio, you will lose fat, and muscle, more muscle than fat in fact!<br />
<br />
so combine resistance training with the weights, and you will lose more fat, and gain muscle.<br />
<br />
There is a study thing on the wall at the gym, I will try and find the figures tomorrow, interesting reading in thi study!
