That's horrible advice. If he's really only consuming 1500 calories, you're suggesting that he consume 750 cal. a day.

Yeah, he'll definitely lose weight. But he'll be miserable and unhealthy, and he'll lose every bit of muscle that he's built so far.

First,don't be too worried about what shows on the scales.I know it's difficult and those numbers are what you want to see change most,and is your motivation in the weeks to come.

I started about ten weeks ago from 'around' the same situation as you 5'11 108kg..definitely too heavy for my aims.

The first two weeks was murder

I deliberately DIDN'T look at the scales because I know it always goes up a little first..This is the shock period where your body is wondering what the heck you are doing to it.

Keep up the cardio and high reps.
I didn't even do any weights till I'd dropped 10kg because I didn't want to bulk up..I'd recommend you spending the time on flexibility.stretching and cardio..not weight machines.Free weights will use more muscles and your core muscles more to stabilise the weights.

DEFINITELY stick at it. You are maybe expecting results too soon.A 3 month program is usually pretty successful.
Wait till you are about half way to your target before hitting the high resistance stuff..You may find weight loss slowing but get great fitness results.

ill help you mate.i work out and i have some tips for you
1 either concentrate on fat burning,or the oposite
2 eat nice,4-5 times a day...its a metabolism thing
3 insted of buying proteins,spend that cash on meat and food,it will do you more good then proteins...
4 depends on the person,some bodies change more quickly,just start to work out more intensive,put some spirit into,and eat good after working out
train different group every time,make sure u leave them time to rest
and THE BEST PART
Vitamins overload^^
1-2gr vitamin c on day^^+ what else u have

Patience.

The old saying "Rome wasn't build in a day" applies to becoming fit.

If everyone could get the body of their dreams in a few weeks or months than everybody would look great.

Don't get frustrated when you don't see immediate results, they will come slowly. Keep at it!

EARTH TO PEOPLE VIEWING THIS THREAD - NONE OF THESE PEOPLE ON THIS THREAD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO FITNESS PERIOD.



why not just join the army and be done with it then you dont have to worry about haveing a self esteem or weight problems.

dont take vitamins period they are not good for you. its like takeing speed.


but if you wanna go mental take some glucosamine sulfate and some of them 2000mg calcium tablets and you will be sprung but eat alot before takeing the calcium.

Are you for real??
I've never heard such a load in all my life.

Please disregard EVERYTHING 'OBLA5' has to say on the subject of exercise and nutrition.

The body will use Vitamins that are needed and expel whatever is not. O.Ding on them is NOTHING like taking speed or any other amphetamine.You'll just overload your kidneys and DIE if you constantly take vast amounts.

9 bottles of water while training?
How does that leave you any time left to do any actual work?Go to the gym to drink?

Training on Calcium..Yeah fantastic routine if you suffer from osteoporosis.

Training on ANY glucosamine. Yeah recommended.. for aiding arthritis/sore joints.




Well apart from the fact that you used a double negative in that statement, rendering it actually CORRECT...
I would certainly suggest you do some research on the topic before picking up your Grandma's prescribed exercise routines and medication..


Honestly!!!..some people ..
