Let me congratulate you on taking steps to improve your body and health. It sounds like you re off to a good start. I d say 20 lbs in ~2 months sounds like a good target (a little aggressive and also make sure you re concentrating on losing fat not just total weight). I d cut out the granola (it s healthy but has more fat than you need if you re trying to lose weight quickly) and replace with beef jerky or something else. For dinners I d add more chicken/fish and cut out the fries (or reduce). You can go to gym almost every day (but take 1 day off/wk to let your body recover). Below are some other tips that should help:Remember the more important part is your body fat % (not total weight). You could lose 15 lbs and if you re tone and fit, have a smokin hot body (or you could lose 25 and not look that great). Get your body fat % checked (doctor or any good gym) and set a goal of how much fat to lose in 3 months.Now, here s your help:You need a proper balance of excercise, nutrition, supplements- excercise: resistance training mixed with cardio. Wake up early and do your cardio in the morning (will help your metabolism esp. on an empty stomach). Do your lifting/resistance training in the evenings). Light weights/high reps. Can either alternate lowerbody/upperday (Day1/Day2) or break it up into a three day cycle. If you re short on time focus on your trouble spots. You can do abs every day. Use the ab balls as much as possible (they work your core in every exercise)- nutrition: eat chicken/fish, lean turkey, and brown rice/broccoli (or things of that nature). Limit the cheese and limit the salt (will help you not hold water). You can eat some fruit if you��re craving something sweet (you can also do a whey protein/banana/little peanut butter smoothie). Try to eat small meals (5-6) throughout the day. Be careful of not getting enough calories/nutrients. You re doing well by drinking lots of water (it is ok to drink pure juice or skim milk occasionally).- Supplements: take either a thermogenic fat burner, ripped fule, or hydroxycut hardcore. Make sure you take them b4 you work out and DON��T exceed the daily dosage.Have fun and mix it up once in a while...take a cardio hip-hop dance class. Good luck!!!
Hi,Actually I know what you re going through, I m 5 8 and I am trying to lose weight as well. I wouldn t recommend doing weights every day, your muscles need a rest. What I was instructed to do by multiple coaches and fitness instructors is to alternate doing weights one day, then maybe the treadmill, or eliptical the next day. Or, other option is if you feel like you want to do weights every day, work on areas like your upper body one day, then the next day work your lower body and alternate that way! Otherwise you sound like you re on the right track! Way to go!!! I ve always had low carb work for me, that s what I m currently doing, along with doing cardio twice a day for 30 minutes a piece.Good luck!!!
A couple of quick suggestions that I would give first would be:* Drink plenty of water - it helps clean out the system, stay away from soda.* Stay away from fried foods, even if you make them yourself.* Eat moderate portions. Have more smaller portions during the day, instead of the normal 3 meals. You ll find that you won t be as hungry, and you ll loose it faster.Now, you won t notice any weight lose for a little bit. My wife wanted to lose weight, in a safe, healthy way, so she joined WeightWatchers. She was never able to take it off and keep it off until then. I would recommend that to anyone.
stop eating meat and you will lose weight faster and just eat fruit vegetables and nuts and you will lose weight fast and kepp it off
