Best way to loose weight?

**redls1** · 04-10-2008, 07:11 PM

I knew I was over weight but I just entered my height and weight and came up with my BMI. Holy Shit!!!!! Im 50 lbs over weight. I started eating better. I dont do soda,dont drink, stopped eating fast food, tv dinners. I drink lots of water. Limited my portions of how much I eat. Dont really want to go to a gym. Is the best way just walking or treadmill? Breakfast has been water and some granola bars, lunch is either tuna/crackers, pbj or a ham samwich. Dinner is either steak/pork chops (cant eat chicken) with a sweet potato. If I snack later on its more water with a granola bar. So what can I do better?

diet seems good. you need to start burning more calories then you are eating to lose weight. Get outside and start pounding the pavement............Running, jogging, walking, biking. any of those.

Online there are calculators to calculate your basal metabolic rate(BMR). Your BMR is how many calories your body needs each day to maintain it's current weight. So if you wanted to lose weight, a good amount of calories to eat per day is 500 cals less than your BMR. There are better ways to burn fat by exercising, but if you haven't exercised for awhile, walking for 30-60minutes is a good start.

Sorry.
I can't read long sentances for some reason.

I have been doing okay. Each morning I would go jog on an elliptical for 35 minutes. Get home, protein shake and vitamin pill.
Mid afternoon - powerbar and the other vitamin pill.
Dinner...eat light, but whatever I want.

Don't worry, keep at it, it takes time.

Also try and start counting calories, to make sure you're not working against yourself in that respect.

I dunno. Ask Charley Bucket.

After about 2-3 weeks of 1hour daily treadmill / weight lifting I start losing weight. I need to start again.

dont weigh u will get discouraged..........use a tape measure and compare results............when u work out you also build muscle.........some people think if they dont lose a bunch of weight they are doing no good..........it takes time......make long range goals

**SiggyZ** · 04-10-2008, 07:28 PM

I would also suggest an herbal cleanse.

exactly why I dont like the usda's "standards" for whats in shape. They work off numbers that don't always fit someones body type and composition. The best gauge for being in shape is what you look like in the mirror. if your waist is slimming you are doing well. But bottom line to lose fat you gotta burn calories. Exercise is the only way. Diet and exercise. THere is no easy way. "diets" are marketing at work. People get rich off of that shit, because they know people are too lazy to work out and eat right.

**redls1** · 04-10-2008, 07:36 PM

Not that it helps but also starting takng one of those vitamin packs. The one that is like 6 vitamins and turns your piss yellow from too much vitamins I guess.
