enkateam Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 diet and cardio, that's it...there's no magic to it... Quote Link to comment
miztiza Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 guys, whats your suggestion of shrinking or eliminating "love handles"? Running/cardio, less carb/eat right, and supposedly less alcohol. But who listens to no alcohol, right? Quote Link to comment
thebigbadlonewolf Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Running/cardio, less carb/eat right, and supposedly less alcohol . But who listens to no alcohol, right? alas....such is my Waterloo. :cry: I drink SML...but that's still 100++ cal per bottle, and the alcohol STILL turns into carbs (or is it fat?) when it enters your system, and sadly retards your metabolism. and at an average of 10-15 bottles every Friday and Saturday (not to mention the occasional stressful weekday or party) ..... *sigh* tried switching to vodka for a spell (yeah it still converts to carbs or fats but you get buzzed earlier) ...but it ain't the same. hope someone invents a "superbeer" soon....something that tastes/feels like beer, is NOT WATERY and gives you the high/taste/flavor/buzz of alcohol without the calories/carbs/transformation into carbs....hell, let's even make it speed up our metabolism! libre lang mangarap. maybe a THC extract (remove the munchies effect please) and artificial barley/malt flavoring...? any chemists in the house?

Borgie Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 excercise and a balanced diet that's all... i have a personal trainer and nutritionist who has helped trim 4.5 inches from my waist, build muscle and gain some definition... all it really took was a bit of discipline, patience and hardwork... i ate 6 small protein rich meals a day at 3 hour intervals as per a nutritionist's advice... and went to the gym 3 to 4 times a week doing weights... i did cardio everyday... be careful though 'cause overexcertion can actually burn muscle as well... taking whey is a good option if your willing to spend a little... this info is from my training coach... breakfast is the most important meal of the day... it keeps your metabolism up for the day... if you don't eat breakfast your body would adjust and store fat so your metabolism slows... again this info is from a nutritionist... do keep in mind that its not exactly about losing weight, its losing inches... muscle is heavier than fat so if you build muscle you get heavier... i'm not claiming to be a fitness expert here, i'm merely speaking from experience... and these info is all based on advice from a training coach and a certified nutritionist... this has really worked for me... from experience also... the belly fat was the last to go...

enlightenme Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 what they're saying about spot reduction is true... there ain't a thing. hahaha... its really diffcult to have that washboard abs, hahaha... pakialam ko sa mga six pack na yan... tsss. gwapo lang sila pag summer dahil nakahubad sila. and having that six pack doesn't necessarily mean strong abs... simple lang naman yan eh, disiplina at tiyaga lang talaga. pero teka its like...6weeks to summer! paghandaan na yan!

enkateam Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 yes it takes me weeks of tasteless foods, weight training and endless hours of cardio to get my abs ready for summer days...it's all worth it in the end though. Quote Link to comment
guile1912 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Proper Diet and Exercise remember the word "proper" proper means not skipping meals eat at least 3 meals a day. make your meals consist of real food. real food means hindi processed. cut down the amount that you eat. eat small amounts lng. trim the fat and the sauce.

guile1912 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 kapag n control mo na food (fat) intake mo then you exercises are going to show off na. go to gym 4x a week or at least play a sport. make the efffort to go out of your way. intensify your exercises. Quote Link to comment

You should be getting in at least 6 small meals/snacks a day, 2-3hrs apart. Quote Link to comment

air23dude Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Lots of cardio activity.Do at least 3 types of tummy exercises (3 sets of 15-20 reps each).Minimize intake of rice especially at night, fruit diet at night would be ideal.Most important is having the consistency and will power to do it....

enkateam Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 if the diet is difficult for you, I suggest you read www.c-k-d.com the acronyms stand for Cyclical Ketogenic Diet. I've used this kind of diet a few times when I was tired of the standard type of macronutrient breakdown. This diet calls for a higher fat and protein intake and minimal carbs 5 or so days a week and a very high carb diet for 24-36hrs a week. Takes some time to make the diet but you can learn it all at that website. Just go to the message board, read and ask questions. Had lost of success with this type of diet before and its easy to stick to since you'll be able to eat a lot of the food you love. cheers! Quote Link to comment
assasin Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 lipo! overnight lang liit na tyan mo pinakamabilis Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Again, there are no quick fixes... I've seen tons of people train and seen some make results and others no results at all... The ironic thing, is that one of the guys who I've seen lose 65 lbs in about 6-8 months said he just keeps things simple... small portions of food, no deprivation. Strength training and very short but intense interval amounts of cardio Ironically, those who I saw do no rice and deprivation diets and spend more time on cardio than strength training haven't lost a significant amount of weight Quote Link to comment
