thats hardly any calories!

by your description, it sounds like you are burning way more calories than you are intaking, so this means you will lose weight.

How many times per week do you run?

Also, dont just drink loads of water twice per day, rather drink samll amount frequntly throughout the day.
 
thanks for reply :):) and yeah ill start drinking water all the time or whenever and i run everyday except sunday i guess sometimes maybe saturday but mostly everyday :)

so what im doing is good?
as of right now im fasting so i cant eat any meat so im just eating a salad im guessing i need some kind of carb in my body? so what do you suggest
 
Don't cut down on your food so much. Do it in moderation otherwise when you are a little offguard you will put on all that weight very soon.

I suggest

7:00 AM : have a good, healthy breakfast.

10:00 AM : Add a banana/cantaloupe/peach as a matter of fact any fruit as a snack.

12:00 - 1:00 Lunch: Bread / Pasta with white meat or beans and some steamed veggies ( i.e protein and carb lunch) But keep the Carb to the min.

3:00 Yogurt with fruits

6:00 Dinner

9:00 Milk or anything that is healthy.

Keep drinking water throughout the day and as you exercise. Make sure the entire intake comes to no less than 2 litres a day.

Tip: I fill a one litre bottle when I walk in to work in the morning. I finish it by lunch and fill the bottle again and use it through the remaining half at work.

Best luck..
 
by doing so much running and only doing high reps/low weight you're actually losing muscle so you may lose weight but won't get the cut look you might be after. You need to build the muscle to look more defined and lose the weight on top. i.e heavy weight/low reps,
 
hmm "Daisy" that looks intresting.. when you set lowcarb and high pro would a greek salad with grilled chicken on top be any good? that has protien and some low carbs.. and it comes with some pita bread but i never eat it.. (thought it would be bad)

around 10pm a banna? cool i can do that
you said dinner at 6? ok well can i just make it the greek salad? with chicken again dont worry i dont care what i eat if its the same thing or not lol


thx guys and sindydoll see the only reason im not doing heavy is becuase im afraid of i get big.. i just wanna get extremly cut my body size is big not (fat wise) so thats why im afraid if it gets bigger but ill try more weight lower reps


also im wodering when working out do i go to the point were i cant do anymore example ( bench presses ) or do i just stop after like 3 sets of 15 or something?

all the way till tired?
or till feeling sore - half way


thx alot guys ive seen a improvment allready but yeah im afriad its mucle doesent look like it but it might be so im going to start lifting too
 
Sindydoll is right, if you do not do periods of both low and high reps you will not be as successful in getting your bfp down. This basically means that you will not be as defined. Muscle boosts your overall metabolism to help you burn fat. Also, you have to have something there to look defined! If you just do high reps along with cardio you will be burning quite a bit of muscle in there along with the fat. Low reps recruit more fibers and induce more hypertrophy than high rep/low weight workouts. This does not mean dismiss the high rep workouts all together, it just means to do low reps at least half of the time. When I say low rep/heavy weight I mean a weight that you can comfortably complete around 5-8 reps. I believe 5 is considered by most the minimum number of reps to induce hypertrophy, and some think it is the optimum.

ok cool so pretty much stick to what im doing and kick in some mucle lifting low reps more weight! :) got ya

and im doing the food thing better so everything will come out even hopefully
 
6:00 AM : have a good, healthy breakfast.
^^(i chose white oak eggs (around 5 of them becuase its hard for me to seperate the white from the yellow lol)

9:00 AM : Add a banana/cantaloupe/peach as a matter of fact any fruit as a snack.
^^ ( i chose banna 1 EA or however maney you guys want or should i take)

12:00 - 1:00 Lunch: Bread / Pasta with white meat protein and carb lunch But keep the Carb to the min.
^^( i chose greek salad with grilled chicken with like 1 pita bread maybe 2 depends on what you guys say and like a sprinkle of dressing )

3:00 Yogurt with fruits ( i chose yogurt that has low carbs when he said with fruits does he mean one with fruit on the bottom? )

6:00 Dinner ( i chose greek salad with grilled chicken same as before.. )

9:00 Milk or anything that is healthy. ( i chose half glass milk though i dont fee like too but if you guys think its good..

THIS IS WITH WATER AT ALL TIMES EVERY HOUR WHEVER I CAN

// thats exactly what im doing every single day im trying to get cut not bulky i heard hydroxycut (pills) is helpful to boost your metalabisom but i dunno if its worth it also i can do this everyday i dont mind it.. just tell me if i need to change anything my cuzin told me its bad to eat a salad with grilled chicken cuz its fattning just as bad as a grilled chicken sandwitch? so i trust you guys more lol he said protein is fattning?\\


sorry for the miss spellings bare with me also im lifting a little extra weight and doing the lifitng everyday with the running but working out different spots of the body :) so feel free to re-work my plans im willing to do anything to get cut i also heard you burn off 2 pounds a night? if i do this right? correct me if im wrong

thank you!! you guys are the best

Hey outlaw.. You need to add a little variation. I personally don't believe in pills. Just eat right. Let your choice of dinner be different than what you have for lunch. Add a variety of fruits and vegetables to your diet. Don't stick to just one. Every fruit/vegetable comes with it's own set of nutrition. So having a variety helps.

Moreover, Banana is a high glycemic fruit. Try to stay away from high glycemic food if you are trying to loose weight. I was myself a big banana lover one time... but now I am taking it a little easy on Banana !!

All the best and I am sure you will make it.
 
I came across this cool site with loads of information and almost answering all the questions we have on mind regarding fat loss and muscle gain. Check this out:
 
hmm cool... ok so cut off the 9 o clock banna? and eat like yogurt? or something? also add like viggies and stuff?.. hmm ok and what els.. change the 6 o clock food to something differnet... np hmm but like what! :*(\

i just dont know if i should add protiean..
 
I agree on bananas being high glycemic so maybe grapes, cherries, peach or grapefruit. The greek salad? Does it contain alot of feta cheese....? High fat?

Good carbs for leaning out.

Old fashioned long cooking oatmeal.
High fiber grains. (4-5 grams of fiber per serving)
Bran Cereals
Sweet potato (no toppings)
New potato (a new potato is a thin skinned one)
Red skinned potato
Brown rice...not instant kind or not white
Whole wheat or brown rice pasta (with in reason watch qt.)

Really really want to lean out? Cut the carbs after 4 pm. Twords the end no dairy and no fruit.
 
yeah

6:00 AM : white oak eggs (around 6 cuz its hard to get them whiteo nly )

9:00 AM : yogurt 85 cal's

12:00 : greek salad with grilled chicken (no feta cheese,tamatos,extra beats,LOWfat dressing,extra beats

3:00 : yogurt 85 cal's

6:00 Dinner ( i chose greek salad WITHOUT!! grilled chicken same as before on the setup.. )

9:00 : nothing? maybe half glass milk

and in between all these hours water :) lots of it..


this is with a 3 mile run everyday im prob going to do more running and lifintg weights i do

bench press then next day some workout on back then next day biceps then next day stomach or something i sorda juat work on a differenent part of the body everyday lifting a little weight.. :):)

ALSO IS IT OK TO MAX OUT? LIKE KEEP LIFTING TILL I CANT LIFT A NOT EVEN A 1 POUNDER.. OR DO I JUST STOP AFTER LIKE A WHILE

You are not talking about maxing out, you are talking about training until failure. There are two kinds of failure, positive and negative . I personally think training to positive failure is the best. I combine heavy weights and low reps to train to positive failure most of the time. Positive failure is where you cannot by any means complete 1 more rep without the assistance of a spotter. Negative failure is where you continue do reps even after you are exhausted with the assistance of a spotter. They are helping you complete the rep. This is a heavily debated topic though. Many claim that training to failure causes too much damage to the muscle resulting in a slower recovery time. I personally believe in holding nothing back in the weight room. If I am going to lift I am going to do as much as I can until I cannot do anymore (I usually keep my reps above 5 though). Of course, this style is not for everyone. I suggest trying a couple of different ways to see what is best for you. What is best for me, or someone else will not always work for you.

but how do i know whats best for me? i feel the burn in both of them... i sorda just do it.. till i cant do 1 rep but now that im looking at it.. ill do it till i can do like 3 more or 5 more... and just stop so sorda in between
