Question

I workout 3 times per week and I weigh 200 lb 5'9" need to lose 30 lbs... I eat some carbs should I minimize eating those and eat more protein? What protein?

Answer 1

I would be more concerned with total calories, when I eat, how much I eat and how often I eat. make sure you are drinkig plenty of water. STOP WEIGHING yourself. follow a regimine for a month. it is about lifestyle changes that you can keep other than short term. find low cal substitutes like eating egg white omlettes, not using salad dressing - use basamic or fat free low cal dressings. eat more frequently. reverse habits - eat breakfast, eat lunch and eat your lightest meal for dinner. working out raises your metabolic level so eat right after a workout. Don't eat after 7:00 at night. Don't drink - it slows metabolism. Drink a glass of water before every meal. When you eat carbos make sure that you are eating foods with whole grains, not "wheat" flour. Start reading what is in what you are eating. Don't eat too little - find out what your basal calories are and make sure you eat at least that many calories a day or your body will go into a state where it slows metabolism. Do things the hard way - take the stairs instead of the elevator, park far away so that you have to walk, go for walks at lunch... You'll lose the weight before you know it. You shouldn't lose more than 2 pounds a week if you want to do it right. Oh, last, focus on aerobic workouts - when you weight train go more for toning, fat burning reps DONE PROPERLY rather than trying to pump a lot of weight. I have a friend who lost a ton of weight by picking up a new hobby of in line skating.

Supplements: Tonalin CLA, Coenzyme q10, L-Arginine

Hi,

I read a lot of things people answer here that is unscientific.
Please consider good sources because this is a topic where lots of people have an opinion on. It's not if it works on one's body that it works for everybody!!! Therefore scientist's do research afterall, when using representative samples.

*Normally fat burning is less effective when performing high intensive sports, when walking you'll burn more fat than by running.People who perform intensive sports, burn glycogen (stored carbo's) think of the so called 'carboloading' you need to do when cycling 100 miles.

* There is a trick to misguide your physiology when using teine (tea) and cafeine (coffee), this is however only in a small degree.
You can drink coffee or tea without sugar or milk to use the fat burning pathway instead of the glycogen (sugar) burning pathway

My advise would be to include more physical activity in every day life. Leave your car when you can and walk, use the stairs instead of the elevator. Try to include an evening walk of 30min a day. Do extra sport during the weekend.
When looking at your diet try to eat regularly (3 meals a day) and avoid snacking (if you do eat fruit)
Try to take smaller portions and eat items rich in fibre. You can consume protein because this will provoke most of the satiety.
Eat slow so your stomac will signal with hormones to your brain that it becomes filled and hence 'hunger' should stop.
Drink water before your diner.

Basically there aren't any real working trick's only a combined approach is the most effective.

PS: Don't forget to continue your new lifestyle once you get on your target weight, otherwise you'll return quickly to your starting weight. When you're loosing weight your body thinks you're getting malnourished and will start using the ingested energy more efficiently and you'll gain weight again!! This is the so called Jo-jo effect. If you can persist your lower weight for as long as 6-12 months your body will create a new setpoint of body weight and you'll be able to retain your new weight.

I wish you all the best, it is hard.

Answer 3

You need to up your cardio, weightlifting burns calories and builds muscle and muscle burns calories after built to just be maintained. If your going for loosing weight then you need to up your cardio and change your lifting techniques. Cardio 20-30 min 3-4 times a week and high reps 3-4 sets low weight lifting techniques. Carbs are not all bad just watch your overall calorie intake. Carbs are actually the shuttle for the proteins to the musclefiber for protein synthesis (repairing muscle) to take place. Whey protein Isolate is the best protein because it has a lot of amino acids in it. But besides suppliments tuna(water packed), chicken breast/tenderloins, egg whites, fish (especially salmon for the omega3 fats), shrimp, top sirloin, beef tenderloin, flank steak, and ground turkey are really good meats for protein.
With you going to the gym depending on what methods to the madness your using you could be building muscle which you will look on a scale and see your maintaining your weight or loosing very little. Its not all about what the scale says its how you look and feel. I'm 5'7 212lbs but like 12% bodyfat so don't worry what the scale tells you.

Answer 5

well I can't say that 5'9 and 160 lbs would be a good weight to shoot for. you need to lose some body fat and gain some muscle so you are a lean 175-180 lbs.

I would train with weights 3x a week and run some sprints or another form of high intensity interval training 2x a week.

Answer 6

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Please eat only when u r hungry and not more than three times in 24 hours. Take only water in between. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

Answer 7

You must change your eating habits. Eat vegetables and fruits. Drink 2 glasses of water 20 minutes before eating. Add apple vinegar to your salad, it burns fat. Drink green tea. It does too. Do not eat sugar. Limit your starch.

Answer 8

Forget about eating. Instead you need to take to the streets and run like a possesed dog. Running burns more fats than weight lifting.

Answer 9

If you have no idea on how to cook tasty meals. If you are boarded of the same meals and want to attempt one thing distinct but in the same time healthful than you need a plan
