I'm def. looking into that

dont eat. 5 pounds is almost impossible otherwise to lose in a week by conventional methods.

so to lose weight, let your body eat itself. if you eat, eat carbs and proteins, and get minerals. eat little, do high intensity stuff.

Swimming is the most intense. look up what Micheal Phelps eats in a day. its crazy. He eats like an 800 - pound dude. why? because swimming burns calories like nobody's buisness. even back at my high school, they recommended we consume 5000+ calories a day, mainly carbs, because while swimming wont build any muscle, itll burn your flab clean off. Weight lifting also burns fat like nobody's business. Muscle takes alot of fuel. More muscle = more calories your body ends up burning to feed those muscles.


these extreme workouts for your muscles will kill you (i.e the INSANITY type workouts). When you work out to the point where you cant lift anymore, your muscles actually tear apart. Your supposed to let your muscles rebuild themselves, stronger, before your rip them up again, something these workouts dont necessarily address. Drink LOTS of water. when your muscles tear, they expel lactic acid. The acid will keep your muscles sore and weak. Water helps your body expel the acid through waste faster.

I agree with a lot of the things Capt. Matt just said..

Aside from not eating. People need to understand you CAN eat. Just be smart about it...

I'm going down to 1000 calories per day starting tomorrow or the day after.

I need to make that up of 2 or 3 items.

Good things to do that? I hear that Activia yogurt is good

I only "need" 2100 calories per day.

Not TOO dramatic.

No.. the average overweight person who sits on their couch eating take out meals needs 2000...

You are running an increased exercise regimen and you plan on cutting out more then HALF the daily recommended intake of calories, plus limiting your sugars and a host of other things vital to your health....

I've given you my advice. If you want to continue cutting your nutrient intake and all that go ahead.... but think about what ruins the perfectly good diet.. it's all well and fine if you can maintain 1000 calories for a few weeks, but what happens when your done your diet and you go back to 2000, 3000 or 4000 calories?

The weight comes back on.

Enjoy :up:

Krauter, don't bother. Firewall was right.

A 1000 calories a day on an exercise regime?
You know, there is a reason why when i was in the army we took in 4000 calories a day while some of the less fit people still lost weight, right?

Meh alright.

It amazes me of what stupidity people come to with the goal of losing weight. Only until they're finished to they see the extent of it as well as the danger in it..

Ahh well I tried.

Theres a reason I posted this before I did it.

Can I cut a few hundred calories out, tho? Like, go down to 1800?

I'm already looking a bit better in the mirror. Not much - but some.

Well 1800 could be enough on days you don't work out. Why are you obsessed with cutting down on calories? Calories don't equal weight or fat. It's been said a lot of times before here; if you work out you burn those calories. And if you work out pretty hard every day, you probably even need more than 2000 a day. Calories don't mean a thing, it's about what you make them body turn them in to.

Don't watch cooking shows.
