So i want to slim down abit, but i dont really have a plan. I found many guides on the net but there too complicated for me, i just need someonething simple like, when i should do for exercise (easiest method to lose weight), and like what i should eat during recess and lunch at school. thanks
try this diet that this cheerleader recommended to me. its called "anorexia" and the basic concept is to not eat anything at all, while having intense workouts thoughout your day.
You have to count calories in order to do that most effectively. Eat four small meals a day, each one consisting of 400-500 calories. You can find calorie counts online or on the boxes of products. Combine this with forty five minutes a day of exercise, and you will see results quickly. As to what you should eat, protein is best as it fills you up with limiting calorie intake. Meats and eggs are good for filling meals, and fruit has a very low calorie count. I did this for several months and it helped me to lose over 20 pounds.
I was quite the chubby child when I was younger, but then following my philosophy, I lost much of my weight and am not fat! Though I'm not absolutley,100% lean.
First understand that your body does not care how you look. All your body cares about is survival so as soon as you cut your normal calorie intake your body will fight you. To prevent this increase your protein intake and eat as many calories equal to your body weight for example: if you weight 180lbs then eat 1800 calories. If you see that you are losing more than 5lbs a week you may be losing muscle and not getting enough protein in your diet. You should have about close to your body weight of protein. For example 180lbs=180g of protein. Start off with a 30 min exercise routine but not everyday especially if your body is not used to it. Also be careful with running or jogging and dont over due it or else you will get the common shin spilts. Once your body becomes accustom to your ways it will start to work with you instead of against you. Take some multi vitamins that have b7 and b12 centrum is one example. Good luck!
When you want to pick up something you know is crap like a candy bar, pick up an apple or a banana. Get into the habit of doing it, works for me :D Get plenty of sleep and drink about 2 liters of water every day (not all at once) try to plan an activity where you're active for 30 minutes every day.

Actually, the recommended amount of protein is one third of your body weight transferred into grams, not your body weight itsself :P I'm just saying this because it's considered unhealthy to have too much protein in your diet, especially if your trying to lose weight.
join a gym,its a good way to loose weight cause you will be making a automatic commitment(the fee to get in) also,eating healthy(i have a banana for breakfeast,salad for lunch,then a regular meal for dinner) also,relaxing helped me...dont force it,dont do it for someone else.do it cause you wanted too,and dont have other people in mind while making your decision. ive been doing this for a while but i am still pretty fat.i used to be around 240,now im at 205-210(plus alot of that is muscle since football season is over and now im in weight lifting) by this time next year i will be 150-160,plus alot of muscle
I will make this clear and simple: Do it right or it will bite you in the ass.
Here is a sample...
"#3 Cardio Lets get something straight. When you do Cardio, the body has 2 sources of energy to choose from. Glycogen/glucose and/or FAT. When you do resistance training, the body basically has1 sources of energy to draw from...Glycogen/glucose.
If you do your cardio (not the warm up...but the extensive)before you do resistance training and deplete the glucose before you even start lifting...what happens? The body has to get more glucose...where? It can make it from muscle!!!
If you do resistance training and then cardio...the resistance training depletes the glycogen before you start the cardio...soo what energy system will the cardio mostly use...FAT!"

Cool, i'm 200-210, i need to be at 180 :? I don't care if i lose muscle though.............
http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm# The most important tip: eat foods with a low glycemic value ( THEY DO NOT SPIKE YOUR BLOOD SUGAR) DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF, you will more likely be losing water and muscle rather than fat. Eat high amount of carbs in morning, eat protein/fat meals at night. pump iron.
[QUOTE="HostileEffect"]If you want to burn fat, read the following links.
If you do resistance training and then cardio...the resistance training depletes the glycogen before you start the cardio...soo what energy system will the cardio mostly use...FAT!"[/QUOTE] That is completely untrue, once you use up all available glycogen, you will be burning both fat and muscle. The more intense the cardio the more muscle you will be using as energy, if you are out of glycogen.
