Tips on how to lose weight?
| It really depends on each individual's preferences and metabolism. What method have you tried?
| >>174334 dieting and exercise, but due time and economic I can’t really do those like I did before. They worked I lost about 20kg but I gained them again. That’s why I’m asking for advice
| If the problem is time, then try High Intensity Interval Training. Basically you sprint for a several minutes, take a break, and then sprint again. Example: Sprint for 5, walk for 3, sprint again for 5, repeat. Works for other stuff too other than sprinting. Just find a vid in youtube, they'll explain it better.
| Dnp
| Coffee, staying up at night, wake up early and work as a programmer. Works for me
| >>174355 okay, maybe more like 30 sec of sprint and 10 sec of walk because the sprint has to be full sprint
| >>174355
This is a pretty good method. I exercise like this (except on an orbitrack rather than sprinting, so I do it for longer) and coupled with some diet changes I've lost about 4 kilos in a month. Dunno if it's good enough, but works for me.
| I use this app called "My Fitness Pal." Lost 20+ pounds since I started using it.
It took me around four or five months, but your results will vary- what's more important is consistency.
| It's basically a calorie counter.
| If you drink soda don't. It's just sugar

Diet is not something you do and then that is it. It is only to serve as an entry point to change your food composition. By follwing a diet as described from a physician or diotologist you basically learn what your body needs to function at max efficiency. After that you are supposed to have learned your lessons and have done your homework, so you don t need the dietologist anymore. A diet is only the starting point of a new way to feed, only teaching you how it is done.
| First of all don't take advice from an idiot like me online especially when it's about your health.
I lost 25-30lbs through pure calorie reduction, and it was very easy. Just get a calorie tracker and any decent one will estimate how much less you must eat to lose 1lb a week. It's actually very easy to do when you start cutting out snacks, sugar, and e.t.c.
This is something that you can accomplish WITHOUT worrying about spending extra time or money, because this takes less.
| Cut the soda and juice. Those have a shit ton of sugar that you don't fucking need on a normal day.
Portion control. Chill with how much you eat on meals.
Have small snacks (nuts, fruit) in between meals so you don't overeat in meal times.
30 minutes of moderate intensity activity. Walking, biking, running. You can make it more intense with weights etc. if you want those gains.
Keep it all going everyday.
| Reducing your food intake will only make your brain crave for more. Fasting is what you're looking for, don't eat for about a week, only drink water, you'll realize after ~3 days you'll stop being hungry, technically you could keep at it until you get hungry again, but doing it for a week will probably make you feel better if it's your first time.
| >>176187 your body will stop eating your fat and move on to your muscle after more than 12 hours of fasting.
Yeah, you will stop being hungry, but it's more related to mental state. Your metabolism still constantly something to burn and turn into energy. Fasting for a week will fuck you up.
| Especially if you just start doing it and not used to prolonged fasting
| So not eating for a day to you destroys your body? Don't you think that's a bit unrealistic?
Either way, I was about to say, >>176157 is right too.
| I went on that weird Susan Somers diet and lost weight. Supposedly it has no scientific backing though. That's what I hear at least.
| >>176246
Funny you say that, because it's only after 3 days that the body begins secreting growth hormones and such (I don't remember the list)
Then again after watching quite a couple studies I'm a believer that the maximum salt intake suggested by governments is in reality the minimum salt intake for the human body..
In the end diet is more controversial than one might think, too many corporations have lobbied and blurred the lines between science and make-belief..
| (Western governments)
| Eat less, move more. Is it so hard?
| >>176265 Yeah it is, life circumstances are a hell of a lot more influential than casually thinking they should eat less and move more.
| >>176300
It is much easier than people think it to be.
Eating less only requires a bit of willpower to resist ones glutinous impulses and eat regularly as always but reducing mealsize by half everytime.
Moving more can easily be achieved by walking. Take the bus at the next stop, or two stops further. Or get off the buss one stop earlier. Or park your car a bit far from your workplace so you always walk to it. Walking opportunities are only limited to ones imagination.
| >>175094 This makes a huge difference. Cutting out soft drinks cuts out a lot of calories. The average soda drinker probably consumes an extra 200-350 extra calories a day from it.
Along with exercising a bit more, just eat a little less/a little healthier. These small changes add up quickly over time.
| >>176530 op here, yeah it’s not that hard I’m just not used to diet. I walk almost everywhere I go, I don’t drink soda. I really need to make smaller portions tho. I’m starting to count my calories too with an app one of you gurls recommended. Let’s hope it’ll work
| >>176651
It definitely will then if you combine all those things and are a bit determined to cut on your food intake.
And also very important is eliminating junk components from your food. On the absolute no go list should be catsup, salad dressings, burgers, powder flavor additives, instant soup/food, tinned food.
All those are rack with conservant chemicals which fuck up your metabolism BIG TIME. The less half-ready and pre-treated, the better the food.
| Generally, you can eat what you like as long as you maintain a consistent (and low, but not lower than 1200) calorie consumption per day, but you'd certainly be healthier overall if you only ate healthy foods.
| >>176723
Unless you want to eat healthy food, no. Sorry. That meatlike conglomerate in those and the salad dressings it contains have so many chemicals as conservants and flavorers to simulate your taste cells, you could be better off eating chlorine and phosphorus with a spoon.
| >>176761
Better off huh, hmm, thanks, now I know what to use as replacement to my Mcdonalds, I know where to get chlorine and will start right away, I'll need to find phosphorus though but I'm sure it'll be easy to find
| >>176770
You can do as you like. Your body, your choices.
Personally last time I ate a burger was more than 20 years ago. McDonalds, KFC and the likes are an absolute no for most people around here. When in a hurry there are tons of other choices, including turkish kebap and shish, greek souvlaki, italian trattoria. Only foreign tourists get burgers in a restaurant here. Healthy food is a way of life here, all can tell by taste when a food contains flavor aditives.
| just don't eat so much.
lost 20 kg in 1 week and 10 kg in one week after that.
No shit.
I just ate a little snack in the morning and some hot food in the night.
| >>176792
tbh, when visiting countries foreign from my own, I make it a point to eat things that wouldn't be as easily available at home- you know, to get the full experience and whatnot.
The exception would be local *versions* of hometown foods, like how a hamburger in the Philippines is going to taste and be prepared differently than one in the US, if not for the local tastes, then for the fact that the ingredients are local.
tfw no Jollibee back home. ;w;
Or Shakey's (pizza).
| >>176761
You could also just prepare your own /burg/, using ground beef from the store (or get some decently marbled meat and grind it yourself).
Healthier that way too, since cooking at home means you can directly choose most of what goes into it. And if you're good, it'll be cheaper *and* tastier than bought outside.
| Eat less calories you mongoloid.
| stop eating so much you fat cunt
| Just fast and if you eat, go on a diet, you’ll lose a lot of your weight that way
| You can keep the same diet, just eat less. Exercise helps burn it faster too.
| Keeping it simple - Eat clean, drink JUST water, and walk 30 minutes to an hour a day. Give yourself one cheat *meal* - not day per week to keep yourself sane. A month of that and you'll already start seeing results
| But obviously, incorporating a workout routine (weights one day, cardio the next, etc.) for four to five days a week would be ideal.
| Be anorexic only way dude
