Anyone have any quick weight loss tips? (i.e. diet/ workout regimes).
I'll be hitting the gym 5 days a week and keeping the weekends for rest.

Any help would be very appreciated.

I've found there are NO quick tips....just keep up your routine. Pretty much a lifestyle change is needed to lose weight.

Some tips that I've found are:

1. Prepare your food beforehand
2. Only keep healthy food around you
3. Don't get tempted to cheat by friends
4. Try a variety of different healthy foods so you don't get bored

 

[batfan08]

Any menu suggestions/routines? The "quick" part was just a sort of best case scenario, any help is, again, greatly appreciated.

Time for some legs and perhaps a hour of cardio, going HIIT style!!!! (empty stomach of course )

but it's kind of hard after tearing up legs for any hour weights before hand, I'll be back in a second with my first meal of day

Today's breakfast!!!!

I know you no longer have taste buds

But do you ever get bored with the same daily ?

, I just focus on the prize my friend, eating to win I guess

I really don't think about it anymore, I think about my treats of whenever I decide to cheat but I really don't think about my everyday meals. I just eat and forget about it. I remember it taking a long time in my 20's to get to that mindset, I really don't know how to explain it than just thinking food is not meant for taste...

I guess you are right. I have been doing the chicken breast for lunch pretty much daily and I am good with it. So I know what you mean.

My cheat meals just mean that much more to me.

Yea, after a couple of months, I barely realize I'm eating the same food all the time. I eat so often and I'm on a schedule, it doesn't even register that the food is the same.....don't know if that's a good thing or not

I also agree that the "cheat" meals are freaking epic when the come along. I went ape **** at Ghirardelli down there at SDCC and it was EPIC !!!!

There you go. Intense cardio right there bro. I use to do that first thing in the morning right when the gym opened before breakfast. But for the HIIT style cardio I would never do heavy weight training that day and if I did it would be much later at night for maximum recovery. On leg day I would usually avoid cardio altogether whether it's HIIT or normal. Maybe just a light warm-up on the bike and then go heavy on legs.

Yep, I'm a animal! Heavy, leg day, HIIT whatever it takes whatever pain it takes. I normally don't do it because of the muscle loss.

Ok, back to it again today, chest and bi's!!!! I'll be back again with breakfast in a few!!!

How much cardio is too much cardio regarding muscle loss? Right now, I'm doing 5 KM a day at a 4'30 pace. It's intense, and I leave everything I have on the sidewalks. I have a naturally slow metabolism, and that's why I like to light it on fire with cardio, but I'm starting to worry about killing muscle.

Yep, you are killing the muscle with 5 miles a day

LISS is the only way to try and preserve any kind of muscle, low intense but a moderate rate of walking on the treadmill for 45+ minutes.

Depending on how cut you'd like to be, 2 sessions a day may be required, along with eating healthy of course.

Question: I was reading a couple of pages back at the talk about eliminating MRPs: are you talking about all powdered protein? Or just the specific ones that have "meal" or some sort of label on them?

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Shoulder and Legs ! Feel tight !!!!!! :yes

 

[Phil Sierra]

Chest and Bi's
Legs
off
Shoulders Tri's
Back
off
Repeat

I play a lot of basketball and sports which is why I don't do cardio all the time. But I do like to use HIIT cardio or wind sprints since it helps with the quick bursts of energy on the court or on the field. I usually don't do long distance running since my metabolism is already high and I don't want to lose the muscle I have. Plus the sprinter is always ripped with muscle and always looks better than the skinny marathon runner who in my opinion looks like they're sick and not healthy.

 

[Skiman]

Shoulders/Tri's 1 hour cardio today, no time like the present brb in a second

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Back/Tri's ! Can't wait to feel it !
