if you really wanna lose weight, and keep it away, i suggest u eat 3 tubs of lard a day...everyday. But, if you want the full effect, instead of drinking fizzing drinks and the such..drink a pint of oil

eat less and enjoy wholsome tasteless shovel in your mouth just to get rid of it food like museli and salad leaves
no one taking this seriously then???

okay, simple. to lose weight. stop worrying about it. eat sensibly, (this varies between people) i stopped eating meat not so long ago and lost wieght at a phenominal rate. i still eat fish though to keep the protein goin on. at the end of the day the way forward is DPIIYFG (dont put it in your f***ing mouth)

another thing. excercise. 5 hours in the gym every day is going to kill you. you'll get bored too. you need a "program" that can progress as your level of fitness rises. it also helps if its something you enjoy doing and so dont consider it to be excercise (i've been downhill mountain biking for 7 years and love it witha passion)

this works y'know. i spent about three months in hospital earlier this year and had no excercise whatsoever, rendering me......... a porker and a half. and now, four months later im happy with myself again.
i was being serious its what i do. I also run once a day for 20 minutes half an hour if the dogs with me.
Giving it up meat might be an idea but i dont think i could do it. (no bacon and no steak *shudders*)
Im losing wieght through what im doing i've lost two pounds in three weeks.

It's got less to do with what you eat, and more to do with how much - although the content does come into it. Put it this way, if you eat half the amount of what you are currently eating (literally cutting each portion in half) you will be consuming half the calories and this makes it very likely that you will be burning more calories each day than you are consuming. If you keep up this calorie deficit for long enough you will lose weight.

Say for example you are currently eating 2500 calories per day and burning 2500, you will stay the same weight.

If you are eating 2500 and burning 2000 then you will put on weight.

But, if you are eating 2000 and burning 2500 then you will lose weight.

Burning calories doesn't have to mean going to the gym, the body burns quite a lot of calories just by functioning from hour to hour. But going to the gym helps. As does eating healthy food. This is because healthy food (such as fruit, vegetables, lean meat) will fill you up without adding too many calories.

Don't try anything too ridiculous though (ie. eating 1200 calories whilst exercising for four hours per day). This will have detrimental effects in the long term and you probably won't keep it up.

Basically, eat less and preferably combine it with some exercise and you will lose weight. Oh and cut out fizzy drinks - they're killer for sugar content.

very true.

Also cut out sweets and chocolates (crisps arnt too bad if you get the right ones), dont snack if you get hungry between meals eat something like an apple.

For those who are thinking of giving up meat to lose weight, make sure you know what you're doing. I gained weight when I became a vegetarian, because of all the pasta and cheese I was munching.

Make sure you have a balanced diet and don't just see cutting out meat as a magic weight-loss guarantee.

Basically, use up (through exercise) more calories than you consume, and you'll lose weight.

Eat breakfast! I cannot stress enough how important it is for people wanting to lose weight and keep it off to eat their brekkie!!

Other than that, can you have brown rice instead of regular rice? It's really good if you mix vegetables into it :smile:
