PLEASE HELP me with weight loss, confused & desperate here

Hello Everybody!
i am new here on the forum
i am desperate and need help here!!:confused: :confused:
PLEASE HELP ME
i have gotten soo confused by reading soo many article on the internet
here who i am, please read and please help me

I am 16 years old,male 5'9 and weigh 228 pounds
i am on summer vacation now, and ready to lose weight
i have recently joined a gym close to me to lose weight in the summer
basically i want to lose as much weight as i can untill september, when i am in my new clases and want people to respect me instead of that silent fatass. I also avoid sitting with girls or being close to one as i am fat and she might wanna get away from me. Basically I have lost my cofidence. I am willing to DO ANYTHING to lose that weight

i am very confused by reading soo many article on the internet about weight loss and all of them claim different things. One say that you can lose one pound a day while the other say no more then 2 pounds a week is good. Articles can be soo confusing and also there are soo many diet that i am tired now. some artcle also suggest if you eat very less, you might be able to lose weight slowly then if you eat at normal amount, your cells would work and you would lose weight easily. i dont want this to happen to me too

i have 10 weeks (65 days) to lose as much as i can. I am hoping for losing 40-60 pounds in that time. I am thinking about exercise 4 hours a day including 1 hour of weight training 5 days a week. Can also do more hours if required.

I am sticking with danish diet for 13 days, right here which is good for your metabolism and you also lose weight, then i will continue with negative calories concept diet, basically eat food all the time.

Is negative calories food concept true. Is it possible to lose calories while you eat more, Here the list of fruit and vegetable that come in negavtive foods. Is the food in this catogory better to eat more and more to lose more calories or to eat as less as possible so tht you dont feel hungry and still have the samll amount of calories in you.

I have been working out on the tread mill and ellipticle machine in the gym,and they have two program fat burn and cardio. i dont know hich ones to choose from if i want to lose more weight. in many articles it says to lose fat you must spent a lot of time on fat burn to lose more weight. Cardio will build your muscle. any suggestion as to what heart rate i should be at to lose the maximum amount of fat/weight. So should i spent those 3 hours on high intensity (cardio) program or spent 6 hours on the low intensity (fat burn) program. Which one would be better to lose more fat/weight. Yes i am this desperat to lose weight and since its summer, i am doing this like a job, a job of losing weight.

please give me advice on this fat burn and cardio excercise, which i better

please if you can tell me about a diet that you can fastest lose weight.

and again is negative calories food concept true and the diest i am following good enought.

Basically tell me if my plan would enable me to lose the most weight in shortest amount of time

and can someone also tell me how much calries i should take in one day after i am off the danish diet since i would also be burning them
 
ok

ok, i have no degree or proper education on this subject but i do kno a lot. I have been there before and i have lost the weight and gained the strength and confidence.

First off, diet. The funny thing is that u mentioned that there are a lot of diets out there. This is the problem, there are so many diets that u cant pick just one. Instead of picking a diet and sticking to it, u sample diets and dont get any results, only salmon for a week, only vegetables, only blueberries...whatever. Whatever it is, just stick with it.

Here is what I would do if i were u. Take ur body weight and mulitply it by 15, this is a rough estimate of how many calories ur body needs. Try eating this many for three days, if u are hungery to the point where u feel weak, add a little bit more food. Once u have figured out how many calories u need, create ur diet.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. With breakfast, if u make it ur biggest u actually jack ur metabolism up a little bit, making u burn off more calories. I recommend u eat eggs for breakfast, a solid amount of protein. Put some hotsauce on them, this will speed ur metabolism up a bit.

Now you are going to work out. I'll get to this later.

Two hours after breakfast have a small meal. Have something like a cup of yogurt, or some carrots.

Two hours later eat lunch. Have something like a sandwich on a whole wheat roll up. Try to have something like tuna, or turkey. Dont add on junk, keep it simple with lettus or something like that. Add a side of almonds wiht the sandwich.

Two hours later eat some nuts...not too many, just enough to keep you from going hungery.

Next eat dinner. Stay away from carbs at dinner. Stick with protein. Steak, grilled chicken, lean fish, tofu. If u eat meat one night, the next night just eat a simple salad.

Dont ever drink soda again. It is a large source of sugar, carbs, calories and it weakens ur bones. Soda is the devil, dont drink it. Dont drink any more beer. While milk is awseom, watch how much u drink. This is the same as orange juice. Remember that calorie count u did? Those calories also come from what u drink. I recommend water, no calories. Stay away from gatorade too, unless dehyrdrated.

Don't eat sweets anymore, i kno its tempting but lay off them until u get the ball moving on ur weight loss, then the occasion ice cream or candy is ok.

This diet will give u a large amount of protein. Protien builds muscle which in turn burns fat...neat huh.

Remember tho, never go hungery. WHen u go hungry ur body will eat the muscle, not the fat. Thats why anorexic people are flabby, when they begin to lose weight.

Now for exercise.

I recommend exercising in the morning.

Because u are starting to get into shape there are certain exercises which are pointless to do. Dont bother "toning" ur arms when u have too much fat to see the muscle anyways.
What you are going to want to do is build ur muscle up and get stronger. Heres how...

Day one...

Chest and arms...

Start out with bench press. Do 3 sets of 12. Then do incline bench, three sets of 12.
Now do tricep pull downs, 3 sets of 12 and tricep dips 3 sets of as many as u can do. Now do curls. 3 sets of 12.
Hop on the eliptical machine and crank it for as long as u can without hurting urself.

Day two

Legs...

Start out with squats...
3X12

Lunges
3X12

Toe Raises
3x12

Hampstring curl (on the machine)
3X12

Now do some jump rope. Do say 5 sets of 50 jumps...
Now hop on the bike and ride.

Day Three
Back and shoulders

Lat Pull Down
3X12

Row
(cable)
3X12

Military Press
3x12

Anterior deltoid raises
3x12

Now run out at a good speed for as long as u can.

Day four

Upper body light

Do regular push ups, three sets of as many as u can do. When done, put ur feet up on a bench do the same.

Now, Go to a squat rack and put the bar down low. Lay do under the bar, on ur back, grab the bar with both hands and pull ur chest towards it. Do three sets of as many as u cna do.

Day Five
Lower body light

I recommend u spend some quality time with mr tredmill.

rest the other two days.

ABS

abs are a funny muscle. The secret to abs is indeed having a low body fat, but if that was 100% true why would people do crunches?

From what i hear, if you are a male u need to have lower than 8% body fat to have visible abs.

So i would recommend that you do lay off the sweets, always a good thing. Also, you may want to cut down a little bit on the carbs, not too much tho because u sound very active.

Now for the ab exercises. Once again, abs are funny muscles. some people say work them out every day, some say work them out the same u would any other muscle, meaning u give them at least a day of rest. I personally have a 6 pack and do abs every day, but to each his own.

I start out with my lower abs, then obliques, then upper abs. First raise ur legs up, laying on ur back, and keep them straight. Now place ur hands behind ur head or on ur chest and curl ur stomach like an achordian. Do as many as u can. Now once u cant do any more, do obliques. Lay on ur back and keep ur feet flat on the ground and do curls, but twist ur upper body so that ur right shoulder points towards ur left leg. Alternate this. Do as many of these as u can. Now lay on ur side and raise ur torso so that u are curling ur oblique completely. Do this for each side. Now lay down in a standard curling position, bring ur feet close to ur butt and do crunches for ur upper abs. Next roll over on ur tummy and do revers crunches. Simply place ur hands a little above ur butt and arch ur back up, u should feel a burn in the small of ur back. Rest and repeat this cycle two more times. Remember that it is important to work ur lower back also, working out a muscle without working out the opposin muscle will lead to problems. EX. workint out bicepts without working out tricepts.

U may wanna do some jump rope too, that can put a good toning workout on ur whole body, and burns fat.


remember, stick with the diet, no matter what. unless u get no results or ur hurting. From a former fatboy to another, i wish u luck. U can do it, its possible. Also, dont lose too much too fast. Dont lose more than 30 pounds this summer, even 30 is a lot.

danish diet

i checked out ur danish diet....i dunno about drinking a cup of coffe and eating a sugar cube for breakfast. It may make u lose weight, but that cant be healthy.
 
Dany,

Before you embark on a weight training program, you NEED TO GET A TRAINER TO HELP YOU!! You haven't ever done squats before, or any weight training from what you say. You can injure yourself, or get so sore you can't workout for a week. You can overload the weight. Can underload it too. Please don't just follow someone else's success story, create your own. We don't know your health history, may heart rate, your limitations, strong points or shortcomings. If you're actually serious about changing your life, do it the right way, not the fast way - get a personal trainer live and in person who can take your medical history, do a bunch of math to find out exactly how many calories you need to take in and not take in, what to eat, how to eat it, when to run, when to lift, etc. There is NO PERFECT FITNESS PROGRAM. It's the bottom line that any respectable trainer will tell you. Make your own program! Please!!!
