Anyone with a real methode for losing weight ?
-
Lose 7 kg from intermittent fasting alone
-
I second IF. Start with no calories for 15 hours and 9 hours of eating and then maybe move to 16:8 once you are achieving it consistently. Combine it with moderate calorie counting.
-
I tend to not lose weight from cardio. But lifting weights and building muscle, I do tend to lose weight from. Not a fast weight loss but a pound or two a month and everything perks up in nice ways
-
FWIW: I once lost a lot of my excess weight with a heavy diet of crystal meth and/or cocaine
The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage! -
Eating less is the only thing that worked for me. Exercise sometimes makes me more hungry, but if I took that too far it led to making unwise choices with food.
It is amazing how little food one needs to be healthily nourished. As I get older, the less I can even eat, and I am still fat at this time.
-
@mrmazda Yes, this can be an effective diet regimen -- as long as you avoid the coming-down food binges and, of course, don't stroke out.
-
Cut fast carbs - sugars and flour. Eat porridges and cereals instead, pasta can be swapped with certain grains and so on. Vegetables are obvious.
Maybe not the most effective way, but the easiest to follow. -
Exercise and cut calories. But even with no exercise, you will be able to lose weight if your calorie intake is less than your daily needs.
Most diets are going to a variation of calorie counting including Weight Watchers type diets. There are tons of options, find one that suits your needs and get started on it.
I'd just recommend following a diet that you can keep long term, or which is not excessively restrictive, that way when you transition out of the diet, you will be able to maintain your weight more easily.
-
@kako75015 whatever anyone here says the only way is to either workout or always be hungry - aka caloric deficit. also dont @ me saying you can be on deficit and ''sated''- that's a myth ;o
-
@di3di3di3 That's true, but your body can get used to the caloric deficit after a while if you're set on it. It's just a pain to maintain it after you've achieved your goal...
-
@jbo1 i had a six pack. it was the worst time of my life. crankiness and obsession with calories. and always hungry...esp if u have normal friends who ate anything they want and ur there munching on green salad xD
-
A combination of factors including diet and exercise works best.
If you struggle with exercise I would recommend cutting your diet in some shape or form; it could be eating a smaller portion of a side you have for dinner, reducing intake of soda, etc. Remember, never think anything small won't make a difference - it does.
As you and your body adjust, you will be able to knock off one thing after the other and before you know it you'll be at 150lbs

I like the suggestions here. But someone should say the following...
There are exactly two real methods for losing weight:
- surgery
- Eat fewer calories than the calories you burn.
Most people (including me) won't do number 1. So that leaves number 2, which is simple arithmetic.
Number 2 "sounds obvious" and yet it reminds us of how simple the process is. Either eat less, or burn more. It's that simple.
The hard part is that you will feel hungry a lot, while doing it. The continuous hunger can lead to anger and to "binge eating" and other loss of compliance.
The different suggestions help you to stick to your plan, choose which foods to cut or what exercise to increase, etc. But always remember the simple arithmetic. Good luck!

@fezobe
Cereal is as carbs as bread. Cut carbs but eat more protein and start intermittent fasting - NO BREADS - you have cravings after them, no pasta, rice (including brown) just proteins and non starchy vegetables. I have lost in it 24 kg a year ago and keep loosing weight. And you cannot outsport a bad diet. Diet is 80% diet is for life. anyway i have experienced change of tastes i dont like the food i used to eat - so no smoked meats, hams etc no tomato juice and few other funny things. I do sport now but i started when i was slim after loosing weight under superviso of coach. -
@pajac99 checkout Trulicity
this was a huge gamechanger for me
it can also used if you do not have diabetes.. they sell the exact same with a different name
-
Reduce your calorie intake and exercise is my advice.
However everyone's body is unique, so it may be a good idea to see your GP first.
-
@kako75015 Intermediate fasting. Don't eat between 8 pm and 12 am. Exercise 30 minutes a day minimum. No sugar.
-
Every body is different but cutting carbs did it for me. Not much working out either. Went from 188 to 164 in about 4 months time. Also, I cut soda only for dinner and 1 8oz can. The rest water
-
Protein diet works for me. Cut carbs (sugars and flour) and go for fat and protein. Fat makes you be fulfilled for much longer than flour (pasta, bread etc).
-
There are different intermittent fasting techniques; some friends have had good success with them.
