I want to know how to lose weight, and get muscle, without all of the protein shakes? -

I understand that there is exercise is needed, but what else can i do, without going all out on a diet plan and stuff?

try yoga

Cardio. running, biking, swimming, ect. All these things will burn fat and create lean muscle mass (to a certain degree). To increase muscle mass in a specific area lift weights. Recommend that you start with low weight and high reps. Once you have achieved your weight loss goal you can focus more on muscle mass building and change lifting to higher weights and lower reps. Calorie intake is not as important as getting the right amount of nutritional value from your diet. As long as you are burning more calories then you are taking in, you will lose weight.

I d say eat as many Big Mac s as possible.

Protien, carb and a smaller portion of fat. Also you might want to measure yourself to find out what your protien, carb and fat needs are. An awesome book to get is The Zone Diet by Barry. This book also helps you measure yourself to find out how much you need to eat and how many times a day you need to eat. Also dont forget Rest, Excerise (Particularly movements that build muscle) and the food you eat are of the up most importance.
