I fucking love the person who made this topic! Anyways...
It's impossible to gain weight, it's just not possible.
That's about it.
Just wait until woody gets his toned, muscley hands on this thread.
You're right about that, cultr!
You should do your cardio first, then the weight lifting. It's important to warm up the muscles before heavy lifting and such, better for muscle building as well maybe?
I go to the gym whenever my dad takes me, so my frequency ranges from once a week to once a month.
As for food I just eat whatever, and I guess I have a kick-ass metabolism since I don't ever gain weight really. I actually lost 5 pounds last week somehow.
Not sure about that one GIR. Yes, you should warm up your muscles, I agree with that part, you can just do that by doing a set with an empty barbell/very light weights. Unless it's REALLY light cardio (light as hell), there's no need to make your body tired before a heavy lifting session. Whether you're trying to gain/lose weight, lifting should be your main focus. Cardio just burns calories (unless you're doing it for the sole purpose of endurance), lifting produces more of some whack-ass hormone differences in your body that actually help build muscle (or maintain it, if you're losing weight). Not saying cardio doesn't have any value, but lifting actually helps you build some muscle that shapes your body and makes you look sexier/stronger/whatever your goals are.
Hell, cardio isn't even neccesary, if you use more calories than you eat, you'll lose weight.
Not a bad problem to have unless you like the particularly bulky look.
Yeah. Technically you're correct, and I do spend five minutes or so warming up before weights anyway. The reason why I do it in that order is that it's more conducive to fat/weight loss. Basically, if you do it correctly, your heart rate is already up and you can dive straight into running/hard biking and get more of a return on it. Although I'm actually not 100% sure if the "fat burning zone" is even really a thing.
"fat burning zone" is a myth.
I'd worry more about building muscle if I were you/wanting to lose weight. Muscle is not only more dense/smaller per pound, but muscle mass always consumes energy, so the more you have the more calories you will be burning, even as you sleep.
You're right, if you have muscle, your body will look better. It will be more "toned" (it's a stupid term). If you just lose weight while having 0 muscle to begin with, you will just look flabby, flimsy, frail, weak.
That's a good diet as it is.
The trouble with a meat-heavy or almost entirely meat diet is that there's no roughage/soluble fiber. Essentially, it causes constipation and eventually hemorrhoids for those prone to developing them. Elevated cholesterol is also a foreseeable problem, because eating too much meat and dairy does that.
If you wanna be a man, you gotta eat like a man.
Oh and grain is extremely healthy. No grain diets are mostly garbage - people have been eating grains for millennia and they are doing pretty well.
Yes, but people have been eating meat for even longer...Not saying you should eat nothing but meat though.
Diet: I eat much vegetables. Soup rocks. Pasta, bread, fat and sweets make you fat.
Losing weight: I can make anyone lose 77lbs (35 kilos) in 4 (max 4.5) months without health risk and with no exercise. I did it and I could keep my weight afterwards. I do not post the diet publicly, since I am not sure everyone would follow my advice on the "how to" which is required in order to avoid anaemia or collapsing. Also there is a wide age difference in these forums, different ages have different needs.
And as for my health and fitness regimens, well, to keep it short, I lift weights. Started at winter. My diet has been total shit this summer (the beginning was good though), I barely get enough calories or protein. Still enough to maintain what I have, I also managed to gain some weight as well (probably in the beginning of summer, when I had nothing to do). I'm currently eating carefully, since I was bloated after a week of being in a village. Going to start training/eating intensely when autumn comes. I can't wait for it.
