Anyone with a real methode for losing weight ?

blablarg18

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!

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.

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.

The basic: calories burned (through both exercise as well as just basic living) > calories taken in. The calories taken in is a major consideration--it can take lots of exercise to burn even smaller amounts of calories taken in.

But then, for me within that, there are some caveats and helpful tips:

-- Certain foods for me are "trigger" foods that seem to cause me to add weight more readily--esp. pasta and rice. Moderating my consumption of them seems to help--e.g. instead of making a rice with vegetables added meal (with protein added as well), I flip it into a vegetables with rice added meal (with protein added).

-- Every little bit can help. For me, for example, starting a diet by lessening calories eaten by 10%, rather than going full-scale deprivation.

-- After a period of time with restricted calories/volume of food, my stomach seems to shrink (does this really happen or is it my imagination?) and I get full/satisfied more quickly/easily.

It really helps to know your own triggers, specifics, peculiarities and the like. For me, for example, I find that I'm happy with as little as an eighth of a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (or even less), to get the flavor and enjoyment--after that, while I still like it (of course!), it's kinda/sorta more of the same. And so I keep that in mind and stop at the eighth rather than mindlessly continuing on.

Good luck!

This is coming late, but wanted to suggest 5:2 intermittent fasting. That means 2 days a week, you fast (ie eat about 600 calories a day - light breakfast and sensible dinner like grilled chicken salad) and the other 5 days you eat normally (but is better if you try to eat healthy and avoid excessive unhealthy foods to compensate for fasting days). I lost 15 lbs in about 2 months. Your body gets used to the fasting days and it's supposedly easier to stick to the diet because you know on a fasting day, you just have to make it through the day as the next day you can eat normally (I don't do back-to-back fasting days).

Exercise is good.

cut way back on bread, sugar, fried foods

especially soft drinks.

It is all about calories in vs calories out.

Working out helps, but what helps most is eating less.

The main thing is you have to really push yourself, over a long period to see results.

What can really help is writing down what you eat in a program like chronometer. Every single day. You do not need to put in everything low calorie tho, like carrots and tomatoes is just so low calories it does not matter.

If you do this you will get an idea of what it takes, and get a framework to push yourself. For example if you need to eat less than 2000 a day to lose weight, then you can write down what you eat til you hit 1990, then just stop eating for the rest of the day.

If you get to 1990 before dinner, then you have a problem

I know it's not the recommended way, but I was at one point able to lose a lot of weight with a steady diet of meth and coke. It worked like a charm for me!
