i am fat

First of all you need to change the rest of your life, its no good losing the weight and going back to the old diet, your current diet is not what the human body is designed for, change it, go out and look at what a healthy diet is, fruit, veg, lean meats are the things to eat.

Try and give up chocolate or fizzy pop for a month, cut out the ready meals/takeaways, started exercising, walking/jogging/cycling, I guarantee once you get active you will love it and perfect time now spring/summer, get the fat off before winter comes.

Only person that can help you is yourself, nobody can run 4 miles for you or eat that broccoli and chicken breast. Also take a pic of your current body and use it for reference/motivation

Do you even lift?
 
If I was in your shoes I'd be seeking the advice of a professional and your GP for that matter.

Not the advice of computer hardware forum.

At least head over to SA if you want some serious answers from people who regularly frequent that sub forum and not all the GD goers who will head in there to no doubt confuse you further.

I'd disagree. There are a lot of people who know there stuff on nutrition that do not post in SA. Having 2 threads open, across both forums wouldn't be a bad idea, but to limit the amount of people that could help in terms of nutrition would be mad.


Also, someone recommended weight watchers. Imo people are better off doing slimming world, the diet looks much more manageable.

It think it is a better place because of all the carp that is in GD. If you make a thread in GD and a thread in SA, there is a high chance of friction between people's advice. Like all of the people telling the OP of another thread to stay away from red meat. Or the people claiming that skipping breakfast isa big no-no, even though meal frequency will not have a big negative impact to weight loss.

Read this thread. If you still think GD is a good place to ask for diet/exercise advice, god help you. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18271112

The amount of incorrect information in that thread is overwhelming - a beginner does not need to know everything there is to know about nutrition, he just needs to know what a healthy diet is, and a sensible way to start exercising.

This.
 
There is just as much conflicting information in SA regarding diets as there is in GD, just ask smit :p

Overstatement I think. ;) Though yes, it's not the be-all-end-all place to learn.

It's a great resource, but like anything nutrition and exercise has many different ways to achieve the same thing and what works for some wont work for others.

The better posters on nutrition in SA have mostly posted in here already anyway :p
 
To be honest, even so called "professionals" can't agree on it all.

Best thing to do without any fancy science or ignorant statements, is to learn the basic facts that if you expend more energy than you consume you will lose weight. Cutting out sugary and refined/processed foods will also help. Increasing oily fish, cruciferous veg, and whole foods will further help. As will drinking more water and taking up some exercise - as I said, it doesn't have to be balls-out just enough to get the heart rate going.

If you're really interested, read some biology books, and basic physiology papers and it'll give you a good understanding of how your body utilises what it's given.

I just scan sites, have a few books and take everything into account and just do what suits me, its working so that works for me, BB and people get hung up on making the most out of everything, thats when you start getting into supplements and dangerous addiction towards fitness/muscle size.
 
When I was in high school I was slightly on the chubby side, weighing in at 11 stone. One summer during college it suddenly fell off me. Simple reason was I was eating healthier, having breakfast and walking most places. Down side is since that I can't eat as much, I lost a total of 3 stone over a single summer.

Since then I've been doing weight training and eating in moderation whenever I can, I've gone from 9 stone to 12.5, mainly due to becoming taller and gaining upper body muscle. My biggest problem is lack of exercise in the office at work, but I've noticed if I eat a healthy breakfast to get the metabolism working and sticking with my weight exercises the pounds manage to stay off.

No idea how this may help you, just my experience. :)

Hey! some people agree with me. Occasionally.:(:p

I know I bang on about dietry fats and blood insulin levels a lot, especially in weightloss threads, but (here I go again:o) reducing insulin via elimination of processed grains and sugars from the diet and reguarly eating good clean whole foods which concentrate on good fats and proteins, such as meats, eggs, fish, butter and low sugar fibrous veg not only normalises body weight but also promotes optimum health. You can eat like this for life, never feel hungry and rarely if ever succumb to colds and flu's, what could be better?

Anyway Freefaller knows the score, and he's already put the op'r on the right track so i'll go back to my 4 egg, butter, coconut oil and cinnamon drink.
