You may try this Glucoach It will stabilize healthy glucose level and crank up your metabolism. My mom is a witness, she tried it and says it melts her fat. Also highly recommended when you over eat or consume a lot of alcohol. Pm me with other questions.

Go to a CrossFit gym. Buy a Paleo cookbook. Stop eating simple carbs and sugar. No sugar. Water = no sugar. Gatorade = sugar. Feed yourself like you fuel your car.
Hierarchy of importance: 1. NUTRITION 2. Exercise 3. Rest Don't focus on a diet just don't eat shit food. Don't drink soda.....ever.......EVER! Start there dude. |

hey op, there's some sound advice on here and some... not so sound advice. I'll just throw my 2 cents in as well. not sure if you listened to what others have already said about your calories being way too low, but just to give you an idea, i'm 5'10" 180 and i'm cutting at 1350 cals. So your cal intake should be way higher. You may lose a ton of weight really quickly at 1300 cals... but once you eat just a little more, you'll start gaining weight again. Just eating a bunch of protein (to stay satiated longer) and keep carbs and sugars to a minimum... don't make it so complicated, at such a high weight, there is no need. Once you get down to a good weight, then you can worry about counting cals and getting in your macros and all that.
At this point, I'd recommend just walking for your cardio and start working compound lifts (dead lifts, bench, squats... etc), I'm a strong believer in heavy weight training. I maybe in the minority here but I believe that if you lift heavy, there's no real need for cardio... Anyways, this is just my approach. There are many different ways to lose weight, most important thing is to educate yourself about how it all works, pick a method, and stick to it... be patient, this stuff doesn't happen overnight... and if it does, it won't last... |

Hey man,
I dont usually post in threads like these but its very close to my heart. I lost 47 pounds this year since January 1st (first new years resolution I kept lol) and i couldnt feel better about myself. As others have mentioned, its not a diet change its a lifestyle change. I went from 225 to 178 and it took me a little over 8 months. Thats healthy, sustainable weight loss. Crash dieting and pills will leave you in a worse position than you were in before. trust me, iv been up to 235 and down to 175 a few times. THERE ARE NO SECRETS, i repeat, NO SECRETS. Do research, look into muscle confusion (a technique that p90x and insanity use, however i am not a fan of either extreme calorie burning routine as it is, imho, not sustainable). Diet is 80%, workout is 20%. Dont fool yourself into thinking its otherwise, and im being conservative with those figures. Also it is important to cheat or you will want to kill yourself. Hormone levels inevitably change when your diet changes drastically. Speak to a nutritionist/dietician and find out your Resting Metabolic Rate and work from there. Count calories. If you have an iPhone, download one of many apps (i use LoseIt!). If you want any other tips, hit me up, i have been an inspiration to a lot of my friends but i couldnt have done it without the countless hours of research i did myself to get to where i am.

If you can afford it, Order a M135i or somothing that has a 12+ weeks to get. Set yourself the first target weight for that time period Then you have the time it takes for the car to arrive to loose the weight you set yourself. This gives you a goal to aim at and helps you stick to whatever weight loss programme you use. Reduce the food intake, do not remove food items (that only makes you crave it) Good luck |

I need to lose weight too.. I used to be 150-180 now im at 221.
I have no motivation to go to the gym anymore... part of it is the meds I take (need to take ) cause weight gain, and they slow you down. So im getting like triple screwed. |

I agree with getting the M135i... but I have to respectfully disagree with the not removing food items... it's pretty critical to be eating clean foods in order to properly nourish your body, and a caloric deficit only makes it that much more important to choose the correct foods. |

Excellent advice! I have lost over 40lbs since June by cutting out grains, starchy vegetables and sugars. No bread, potatoes, rice, pasta or any sugar whatsoever. Just meat, fish, poultry, eggs, salads and vegetables. And fat, lots of it!!! |

The very best way is to really eat good foods... Try to minimize carbs and processed food and eat as much as you want of it but just don't eat crap! Eventually your body will become used to the blander tastes and they will become easy to eat! Just work at eating better foods and the weigh will just start to fall off

For losing weight exercise and diet both are important. If you want to lose weight then you must avoid oily food like burgers and pizza. Try to eat less but healthy food. You can also do exercise like running and jogging. Both are effective.

Hi SyL3nTFoRcE,
To lose 83 lbs break your meals in 5/6 small meals including snacks and prefer raw food over processed food. Increase your water intake, start drinking green tea and avoid beverages, soda and even diet soda. Do not eat late and before going to bed. Have enough sleep of 7/8 hours a day.

No doubt, that the best time to work out is morning if you intend to do yoga, or stretching movements a lot, since they require an empty stomach, and if you need to build muscle, you have to put in something at least an hour before workout for best results, but coming to your case ( if by now you haven't reached your target shape) my advice is to increase intake of water.
Workout in a heated room (little more than normal temp.) and include Chia seeds in your diet. That way, you will be gaining strength as you lose weight gradually. They need to be soaked in water before consuming. Good if they are available in your area, or you can go for a Chia gel by ordering online |

1000 calories a day!? DO NOT ONLY EAT 1000 calories a day. you're basically starving yourself. Try to eat 1900-2200 calories a day. Use a calorie counter. |

What worked for me was the Paleo Diet and joining Crossfit gym. I started at 300 a year and a half ago, now i'm down to 195. Read through this, it's not for everyone, it's like alot of people said on here, a lifestyle change but it worked for me.

You've got so much advice already your head's probably spinning. The bottom line is 'go with what you can persist with'. I'm probably similar to you in many ways:
However, the NHS here in the UK runs a pretty good scheme to help people lose weight. It's not about restricting what you eat per se - more around reducing overall volume to match your activity. Everyone's right that your activity has to be greater than your intake to lose weight. But the sustainable way of STARTING to do this:
I'm no guru, but this is what's worked for me. Good luck.
