Greetings Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Almost a week into a new routine with a friend, it's going far better than imagined. Going food shopping today, can't wait. Ditto. Amazing how quickly one can see progress, makes you want to put even more effort in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm genuinely interested, been putting a lot of effort into eating better and exercising more recently - realised I was losing muscle and gaining fat at an alarming rate without anything to keep me busy.

isitafox Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 My cousin (a bodybuilder who's learning to be a personal trainer) did something like this for one of my other cousins to help him lose some weight. Lost 10lb over the course of 3 weeks (not sure if that's much??) and then managed to put it all back on after the programme over the space of 2 or 3 days!

shercofray Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Or.. Just run 10-15 miles a week. Either works but that way is a lot cheaper and food still tastes nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Or.. Just run 10-15 miles a week. Either works but that way is a lot cheaper and food still tastes nice. No it doesn't. Keeping a check on your diet is important along with exercise. Running 10-15 miles a week is bugger all and won't barely do but a scratch in keeping you fit. I ride 25 miles a day, every day, often more at the weekend, walk a lot and keep active all whilst always cooking fresh and keeping an eye on what I eat but there's still tonnes of room for improvement and whilst I'm pretty fit there's room for toning up and increasing strength etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Dieting makes you fat. Eating well does not. Eat less (especially crap), move more. Very simple, and it's the only sustainable way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat clean, go to the gym several times a week, walk 2/3 hours daily. I could happily run a marathon tomorrow. Being on a diet like Jake described is great, if you can stick to it, and afford to do it. Eating like this, you will always be engaging willpower. Unless you are training to be a body builder and it's subconscious, eventually you will stop. Like you say, eating a decent diet, exercising a lot is fine. People who eat like Jake is describing constantly are looking to get their body fat down to below 6% ish. You can still look amazing at about 10-12%, which is about where I'm at. Yes it would be nice to be less - but honestly, it's really not worth it, in my opinion. Eat clean. Exercise a lot. You'll be amazed at the results. Eating clean is only half the battle. What's you training schedule Jake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating clean is only half the battle.What's you training schedule Jake?You're right about engaging willpower, I have felt a lot more mentally stronger since eating clean and cutting shit out of my diet. I started on pancake day by chance haha, but started the diet I just linked today.Apparently my body fat at the mo according to some measurements and a calculator I did online is 20%. Which is a normal healthy body fat percent but I'm not sure it's right. I'm gonna try find out what it is properly.Eating clean is only half the battle I 100% agree with that.Haven't got a proper schedule at the mo but aiming for at least 3-4 gym sessions a week (I have just started going to the gym, went for the 3rd time today and had comments from mates that I deffo don't look like someone who's just joined, thanks to trials ha!). It heavily revolves around what shifts I get put per week and college etc. I've also started doing MMA which is every Wednesday for 2 hours, I also aim to get at least 2 rides in per week on top of the gym sessions...I know this sounds quite hectic but I firmly believe I can do it, anyone that thinks I'm silly or mad just motivate to push even harder. Plus the fact I've cut alcohol and going out clubbing actually does help out a LOT. I'll still go to the pub but just won't drink, a close mate of mine is doing exactly the same and we're bouncing motivation off each-other. Working out together etc, thinking about it that way it does seem a bit gay haha. But it is unbelievable how much just having someone else doing the same routine/eating/training as you motivates you.Anyway here's the link as promised. http://www.mensfitness.co.uk/nutrition/diet-plans/1173/lean-four-weeks-meal-plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
