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. [/quote]<br />
<br />
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' /> -

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. <br />

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. -

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. [/quote]<br />
<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! -
Supplements like protein shakes are a great way to lose weight and take the hunger cravings away. Just have one when you might normally have a snack and it works wonders.<br />
<br />
A few months back I was a few kilos overweight. I've lifted weights for a number of years but farking hate cardio and wanted to avoid the treadmill as much as possible. Basically what I did was completely alter my diet. I still eat heaps but I don't eat or drink crap (e.g. potato chips, softdrink, cake, icecream etc). I have 5 protein shakes a day plus a big lunch and dinner. The results have been pretty amazing. I also do the little things which help like taking stairs instead of lifts or escalator and walking to the shops instead of driving.<br />
<br />
That may sound boring but believe me it works. Supplements can be pricey though. -
good call - the junk / snack food kills you. Cut out fizyy drinks (sugar in a bottle!), and the chips n dips etc, and you are halfway there. <br />
<br />
And you don't REALLY miss them when they aren't there.<br />
<br />
Like the Body for Life thing though, have 1 day off a week when you can give into your cravings, and have the shit food - you'll soon lose the taste for it! -
For me it's only been a week and I'm noticing huge changes. Cutting the crap out does wonders, not to mention transferring to low-fat bread/milk etc. I'm quite shocked to see this kind of progress so early on. Defintely encouraging. Cheers, fellas.

Good idea, just make sure to keep a regular water intake when on protein shakes, they tend to dry you out a little... mine do anyway<br />

I do pretty much the same. Cutting out crap and doing the little things are a good motivational change also, you feel miles better in very little time. An idea I've found works is replacing regular tea/coffee with green tea. Once you get over the hippy taste it's really not that bad, plus it's proven to be fat-burning antioxidant... though it's also proven you need to consume atleast 6 cups a day in order to achieve any kind of results. Eating a bunch of dry almond nuts as a meal replacement is another - high in protein and vitamin E, low in saturated fat. -

Yep exactly right. You can allow yourself cheat days but after a while you don't want to eat this shit anyway. Yesterday for example I really felt like some corn chips. I hadn't eaten them in ages so thought why not. I ate a couple of handfulls and then just felt sick and threw the packet away. It's all a matter of being strong in the beginning because after a while it seems the body just begins to reject any crap you put in it. -
- Cut out eating stuff that is bad for you.<br />
<br />
Pies, currys, kebabs, burgers, chips, crisps, fizzy stuff, chocolate, ice cream, beer, biscuits, sponge puddings. Try to work out how many of these you can totally give up and which you will only have at weekends.<br />
<br /> - Avoid caffeine completely.<br />
<br />
Caffeine stimulates the appetite. Drink mineral water instead of coke, tea or coffee. You'll see the weight fly off.<br />
<br /> - Eat healthy<br />
<br />
Have a carbohydrate heavy breakfast and some fruit.<br />
No snacking until lunch. <br />
Have vegetable soup and some bread for lunch, not too much meat.<br />
Have some sandwiches about 16:00.<br />
Have a protein-based, carbo-low supper three hours before bed time<br />
<br /> - Try to increase exercise levels<br />
<br />
Walk or cycle when you can.<br />
Make a point of running up stairs.<br />
Sit ups in the morning and evening.<br />
3 or 4*30 minutes running, swimming or rowing a week.<br />
More sex.

Absolutely fantastic guys, some very handy tips in here. Just a few more questions/comments that have arisen from what people have said:<br />
<br />
[quote name='Kirwan']<br />
Oh, and do simple things like "take the stairs" or walk to places you would normally drive to. Exercise for free.<br />
[/quote]<br />
<br />
Yep - walk home from uni up the hill twice a day (for those who know Dunedin, my flat is on Royal Terrace just down from Olveston), which works out to climbing about a 25 storey building every day. I don't have a car and basically walk everywhere and anywhere. Doesn't seem to have worked in the past though.<br />
<br />
NTA - What's the difference between a crunch and a sit-up?<br />
<br />

<br />
I eat probably four slices of bread a day but it's ultra-healthy grain and seed-loaded stuff that my greenie flatmates buy. Surely that's alright?<br />
<br />
How does drinking shitloads of water help? Given the state of Dunedin's water supply I'm probably doing myself more harm than good drinking the shit.<br />
<br />
You all mention cutting out the carbs after 5pm but unfortunately this is harder than it sounds given most NZ dinners are carb-based. My flatmates always cook very healthy dinners but they pretty much always contain carbs (pasta, brown rice etc). Any suggestions for what kind of dinners I should be eating instead? Oh and the six meals a day is a nice thought but totally impractical because I'm not home all day and we cook together anyway.<br />
<br />
Kirwan: I think the hardest thing will definitely be laying off the booze. After getting pissed 3 or 4 nights a week for over 3 years, I've found that when I do have a month or so off I have so much spare time on my hands that I just don't know what the hell to do with it. Kinda sad but I guess you have to break the chain of alcoholism at some point.<br />
<br />
I'll back Ollie up and say that after two weeks I feel better already, haven't dropped much weight but I'm not craving fatty shit anymore (in fact my flatmate cooked crumbed chicken drumsticks last night and they were so fatty that I felt ill for hours afterwards, my body telling it to get fucked perhaps?) and I have the fridge stocked with celery for those sudden cravings.<br />
<br />
Jogging is going well, unfortunately my lower calves and feet always seem to end up in searing pain halfway through the run while the rest of me feels fine. Might be to do with stretching or my running style, anyone else have the same problem? Also I run in the evening just before dinner and always seem to have WTW's problem. Even if I go just before I embark on the run, by the time I'm halfway there my sphincter is pretty much at DEFCON-2. It's bloody hard to run while you're trying to crack nuts with your buttcheeks, and you must look ridiculous too. Tried running in the morning but it's cold and even more excruciatingly painful for my lower legs.<br />
<br />
One great thing about jogging though - the biatches! I run to Ross Creek and around it, where shitloads of joggers congregate, and the number of fit, lithe, supple young birds bouncing around is motivation enough to keep moving. In no other situation would I have so many hot chicks saying hello and smiling (then again I run without my glasses on so that may explain why they all appear to be lookers).
