LOL... I'm terrible when it comes to exercise as well, but am not overweight... in fact I'm underweight due to loss of muscle mass from not exercising enough (I don't eat much tho, which is a good thing). I'm also a tobacco user (chew) which will probably end up killing me sooner than anything else unless I manage to quit. I don't do it in public situations (so don't get sick), but I worry constantly about mouth cancer from it. Maybe that will get me to quit sooner or later, dunno (or more likely I'll be sticking it up the other end if my mouth becomes unusable due to cancer

).

I cheated a bit today,
Someone brought home some panda express and I took a couple pieced of orange chicken and beef

when to subway and instead of my usual veggie delite, got a 6" turkey sandwich

Im trying to stay off too much fiber and carbs, being asian, Rice is one of my weaknesses, so Im staying away from rice.

been trying to get back into ddr and weight lifting too.
I notice something odd about my moods lately, I definately notice mood changes and tendencies towards more worrying and depressive thoughts since I changed my eating habits.

I dont feel as energetic and happy as I used to, Ill stick with it for another couple of weeks and see if my body adapts to it and my moods level off.

maybe its withdraw symptoms of the fast food burgers and fries Im so used to eating.

Fiber isn't something to avoid. You should be taking in more fiber. Your body can't digest fiber which means theres no calorie intake from it.

Losing weight has nothing to do with the time you eat meals. It's basically the relation between the calories that you consume and how much you burn. It's kind of difficult in a sense that if you don't eat enough then your metabolism slows down and then you start burning fewer calories and stop losing weight.

So you have to keep a log to figure out how much food you need to consume to high you metabolism high, but don't overeat such that you have an excess of calories. Basically the easiest way to lose weight is to not eat anything processed like most bakery items, chips, fast food and etc. Just eat natural stuff that is low in calorie density and filled with water (so it makes you feel full) like fruits and vegetables and you should be fine.

Problem with most people is that they overeat on grains like cereal or pasta which has a significantly higher calorie density then fruits. Basically you can pretty much eat as many fruits of vegetables (with some exceptions) without getting fat.

It is probably best to just do an activity that you enjoy. Also probably one of the best places to go for tips to the sherdog.com forums (UFC and MMA website), as I can't think of any athlete that is more fit than a fighter.

I don't see any problem with rice, if it's whole-grain brown rice.

The key to burning fat is exercising and lifting weights.

All these asians (1 billion+ Chinese alone) live on rice and you don't see THAT many obese people...

It's not what you eat, but how MUCH you eat and also how you take care of yourself... I ONLY drink diet soda and people laugh and ask me "why does a skinny guy like you drink diet soda?" and I reply, "how do you think I stay skinny?" enuff said...

 

[ghopper]

funny how i'm reading this thread and eating ferrero rochers at the same time. it took me 4 of those to reach the last post. i think i'm gaining something. all these time sitting in front of the computer reading these threads. but i'm not worried i'll just lose them during the summer while playing handball. and my weight hasn't changed for 4 years now. at first i was overweight in 8th grade, at 125. now i'm underweight in 11th grade, at 128. I'm lighter than my female gym teacher. i hope she doesn't go into depression.

oh and i'm not that skinny

Yeah but look at their lifestyles. They were never fat in the first place.

To lose weight it is more effective to eat whole grains than white grains.

rnb; i'm right with you. i need to do the same and get back rock climbing. let me know how you're doing. God bless ya.

my #1 best advice: learn how to cook. if you cook for yourself you can learn to make everything taste great with real flavor and seasoning rather than fat. fat's not that attractive if you have real good food instead.

i think the most important thing is focusing on what to eat rather than what not to. go gonzo for healthy food and you'll reap fat loss as a side effect.

-everyone's right: drink water all the time. this means carrying a water bottle. if you start doing this you'll get used to it and just keep doing it everyday (hopefully)
-truckloads of vegatables. you can always just steam vegetables, very good. just pick up loads of good fresh veggies and keep them coming
-carloads of fruit. you don't want to depend on high-sugar fruits to keep you jiving, but just have them laying around and much away
-whole grains: bread, pasta, rice, whatever.
-fish will save you. learning to eat fish rather than steak and even chicken is just excellent on many levels
blah blah

but really my first comment is my main point. it's all about making your own food and knowing what you're eating. and come to colorado and we'll go hiking

errrrrrrrrrrr.....wrong answer

if you don't like regular rolled oats, try steel-cut oats. makes more of a "porridge". there's also malt o meal and the like which are generally pretty good, or bulgar. i sweeten my oats with lots of raisins, strawberries, or any berry for that matter. i take my time with breakfast and eat well and hearty.

what i mean is: quick oats suck the big one.

NUTRITION FIRST! fat loss as a side-effect. that's my mantra. it's all about being healthy, and the more your body improves, the more fat you'll burn regularly.

as far as exercise, just do ANYTHING you enjoy. forget about what everyone else likes. do what's fun for you. for me that's the outdoors, hiking and climbing, and also swimming
