Thread: Best way to lose fat?

Im beginning to think getting 15 pounds lipo'd out is easier :\

Destram,

The answer for most people is C. The majority of your diet should be fat and protein when trying to lose fat. Set protein at a reasonable level (1 gram per pound of lean body mass), and eat enough fat to satisfy your appetite (a 50/50 fat and protein split is good). You need to eat fat to burn fat!

You will also need to eat some carbs or you will eventually lose mass. I like DP's carb ups on Saturday and Sunday nights, or post workout once a week and again before bed. Make sense?

I choose D...getting off your ass and hitting some cardio.

There is a simple rule “To lose weight you have to burn more calories than your caloric intake” I don’t know if this is the answer to everyone but I have always heard that…

BO hit that right on the nose! LOL! Better yet, do what BO says or he might literally hit you on the nose to get your ass movin on a cardio machine!

in 2 weeks ive gained 6 pounds. i was at 175, im now at 181.

my calories were calculated out to be the amoutn i needed to consume and still lose weight.

my waiste is still 35.... but i serously dont think i put on 6 pounds of muscle.

Yeah I seriously doubt it is 6 pounds of LBM in two weeks but I’m sure there is an % in there of LBM…

yeah, like 0%.

Nah man I'm sure you got some muscle in there if you have been working hard, but most of it is water I would guess...

For you folks trying to lose weight, make sure to cut out crap like sodas and other sugar items that people seem to drink like water.

Man I know people that don’t drink water, all the time is soda soda and more soda

Nick, I'm in the same boat you are I believe. Although I have put on 4 pounds in the last 4 weeks, I still can't lose the last inch of fat surrounding my waist. I work out for an hour a day 5x a week. On Tusday's and Thursday's I do 30 minutes of HIT on the bicycle. My next step is a thermogenic. I keep my carbs down to about 80 grams a day for 3 days then laod on the 4th (200-230gm). I did los about 4 pounds this way but right ow I 'm stuck as well. Hope you find a solution.

When my brothers were younger, they had soda with thier pancakes, hows that for discusting.

pancakes and soda........... hopefully diet soda at least

I havent had soda in 2 months, heh. Its been water and milk (with my shakes)

havent had any good (read:unhealhty) food in more than a month.

If i dont see any fat loss in the next 3 weeks, im going to thermogenics.

Nick don’t get so desperate man… Changes will come if you keep working hard, About the thermogenics IMO we are too young to use that stuff give more time before you decide to use them. Take it easy

you're not fat, you dont know what its like.

Ive been working hard, and i will give it another month. if i dont see results, well, i need to lose this weight and im too poor to higher a personal trainer. Even online theyre like 300 bucks a month. I dont have the kind of scratch, so i will do what i have to.

sigh :\

Sure Nick, You do whatever you want man I’m just giving you my opinion… I’m not fat huh… Check the member pic forum I will scan and post a pic of me when I was 9 and you tell me if I was not “fat” and I tell you something it does not take supplements to build someone it take self respect and determination

I love my diet soda! But, seriously have to switch to more water!

Do you have your diet posted somewhere? Why do you start a journal so we can help you. I know J'bo was helping you, but maybe if you start a journal the rest of us can pick up where she left off.
