The use of quick and safe in relation to losing weight is an
|
|
oxymoron: the two words are conflicting points.
|
|
|
|
The best way is to set up a good exercise program combined with a
|
|
calorie control program. You HAVE to know what you do (how many
|
|
calories you are burning) and what you consume. Then adjust those
|
|
two for weight loss.
|
|
|
|
The only thing that burns calories is muscle, so a weight loss
|
|
program based only on reducing calories is self-defeating: your
|
|
body will burn both fat AND muscle as you diet, and when you stop
|
|
the diet, you will have less muscle to burn calories than when you
|
|
started.
|
|
|
|
You will likely get on that most terrible of all cycles, the yoyo
|
|
diet, where you lose weight, stop the diet, gain even more weight,
|
|
diet, stop dieting, etc etc. And you end up with a body that has no
|
|
muscle tissue to provide shape/form and look like a doughboy. The
|
|
exercise route is the best longterm method.
|
|
|
|
Plan on it taking a long time to do it right. A pound of fat
|
|
contains 3500 calories. (YOU calculate how many calories you need
|
|
to burn for 35 pounds). As a male, you don't want to reduce your
|
|
calorie intake below 1200 per day (females can go to 1000) from my
|
|
most recent readings, otherwise your body thinks it is undergoing a
|
|
'famine' and starts lowering your metabolism to survive.
|
|
|
|
And how many calories can you burn a day? Well, yesterday I ran 3
|
|
miles, walked another mile, lifted weights for one hour, worked at
|
|
the office all day.... total calories used was 3800. That is for a
|
|
43 year old male, 5'11", 182 pounds.
|
|
|
|
All major activities were measured to the minute (sports) and minor
|
|
ones were estimated based on past experience. I also weigh my food
|
|
to the gram for tracking.
|
|
|
|
On any program, you will lose a lot very fast then plateau. That is
|
|
mainly water loss that occurs with most major changes in eating
|
|
habits and activity levels. Don't get discouraged by the plateau.

Also, be sure to allow yourself the luxury of pigging out
|
|
occassionally. Plan a few, and except a couple opportunities that
|
|
pop up. *BUT* calculate what it cost you and compensate the
|
|
following week. Allowing the occassional pigout will allow you to
|
|
feel human instead of like a prisoner to your diet. It also helps
|
|
to prevent the "I fell off my diet so I am a hopeless case who can
|
|
never... etc" pain that strikes all of us trying to lose weight.
|
|
|
|
BTW, I went from 210+ to 182, and added a lot of muscle tissue in
|
|
the process, so it is anyones guess how much fat I lost. But it
|
|
shows it can be done. I have a lady friend who went from 330+ (her
|
|
scales only went to 330) to 135 over a 3 year period by strenuously
|
|
exercising and dieting. I call her 'The Lady Di' because she became
|
|
quite thin and attractive...
