Give some stats of your current condition. I assume you are female, am I correct? BUT, how tall are you? what is your current bodyfat percentage? What is your current bodyweight? How old are you? What/How are you eating presently? Do you have access to a gym or some area of weights/cardio, etc? When diet is correct, do you plan on using any supplements? This should be enough for now, but try and answer these questions (or as many as possible) to make it easier to assess your current statis. Dieting does not have to be hard starting out, especially if you are obesely out of shape because almost anything will work if properly planned out. I'll explain more later after some of the above questions can be ansered. Take it easy. | ||

Low carb, high protein diet. Lots of chicken, steak, eggs and tuna. Cut out the chips, fries excess breads. It's called ketosis and works quite well. Go for no more than two weeks with as little as 100 gms of carbs a day then have a 2-3 day carb binge. ------------------ | ||

Woden's right. Low carbs the best, but it may be too hard for you right now - one slip and you have to start over. The best thing a beginner can do is begin a fullbody weightlifting program 2-3 times a week, 4-5 aerobic sessions, start eliminating the fatty foods (fried foods, sweets, etc), and increasing protein, vegetables, and fruit consumption. Get your excercise routine and diet in order before thinking about diet supplements. Don't give up and good luck. ------------------ | ||

Here are a few things that have helped me: I only drink water. No sodas or kool-aid or anything like that. Try to eat your carbs mostly in the morning, and for lunch and taper them down toward the end of the day. Try to eat your last meal no later than 7 unless you workout at night, I try not to eat mine after 5. If you do have to eat at night it is best that you eat something mainly high in protein such as chicken, tuna, fish, some kind of lean beef etc. If you can, do your cardio first thing in the morning before you eat. If not do it after your weight training. As for supplements, I really would'nt like to recommend anything, but I'm sure some others here could reccomend you a good eca stack and maybe some protein. Read some of the posts on the supplement board, or do a search for fat burners. This is all very general info. Good luck and I'd be glad to help you any way I can. Hope this helps. | ||

Actually, do not start on a keto diet right now! By your stats, I would start out easy first. As much as I dislike the guy, I would suggest trying a diet similar to that of Bill Phillip's "Body-For-Life". It is great for beginners, and it is fairly easy to follow. It will not work for too long, but it will get you started on the right path. Try eating a portion of protein, carbs, and fibrous vegetables for the first 3-4 meals, then quit the carbs for the last 2 meals of the day, and have only the protein and veggies. "A portion size is equal to about the size of your palm, or the size of a tape cassestte." Any protein is fine (eggs, chicken, cottage cheese, protein powder, lean red meat, turkey, etc...). For carbs, look at: http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm Choose your portion of carbs from this list with a low GI rating. And, drink lots of water. In the morning, do some kind of cardio on an empty stomach. Take in a thermogenic supplement about a 1/2 hour before the cardio. Take this thermo stack 1-3 times per day. Do this 3-4 times per week (Tues, Thurs, Sat) on non weight training days. Weight training: Do weight training 3 days per week. Mon, Wed, Fri. will do just fine. OR, Mon-------Upper body Sunday off, then Monday, repeat in reverse order: Mon-------Lower Body This diet and workout regimen is good for people that are not used to a moderate to high fat diet. Follow this for about 4 weeks, then we can put you on a Zone-Type diet/Isocaloric Diet. Then, maybe if you are ready, we can put you on a CKD, if it is needed. Also, what I like about this diet is that it does not require you to count calories. After this initial 4 weeks, we can get a little more detailed, but lets make it easy at first so that way it does not cause any kind of "burn-out" Two more things. Meal replacement drinks are fine, just use them as one of your first 3-4 meals. Finally, try doing your workout in the morning too. Before you eat, and on an empty stomach. Make each workout last no longer than 45-60 minutes. Hope this has helped, let me know what you think. MR. BMJ | ||
