Actually below 140 pounds.

Two years ago I used to be around 250 lbs, but I've since then dropped down to around 175ish. After dropping a lot of the weight, I find myself with a lot of loose skin and still have a lot of fat, so I was wondering if you had any diet plan plus basic work out plan that you could create for me, sorta. I will have access to a gym 3-5 times a week which will vary and can take almost any supplement or w/e is needed.. The stomach region and chest are my biggest concerns. As for my chest, I still have a bit of what we'd call man boobs, and they're still staying with me. I've googled it before and some say that it can only be resolved by surgery, just wondering if you could shed some light into it. As for stomach, it's mostly the remaining fat and loose skin that's worrisome.

thanks for any advice

also just to add to the above post, i don't necessarily want to get big and buff, but slimmer. although if building muscle is easier i'm all for that too

Scrap some of that fish for beef and chicken. That's an aweful lot of fish to eat on a weekly basis, so the mercury situation might be more of a concern to you.

I would do fish for no more than 1-2 meals a day.

As far as the other meals go, they look good.

You shouldn't. Deloads are not for working out lol.

Just take the time off and enjoy the week of relaxation and go back with a vengeance.

Unfortunately for a person that has a lot of excess skin from rapid fat loss, there are only TWO avenues.

1. Put on a ton of muscle mass to fill out the existing skin - yes this actually works lol.

2. Surgery if you are not interested in being freakishly big (which also takes quite a while to do).


Let me know which way you'd like to go, and I will help you from there.

First of all...if you want help you need to be more cooperative and certainly change your attitude.

When you said 50-60 pounds, this leads me to believe there's some sort of issue here with your basic understanding of anything health/fitness related, OR you live in a country other than the US and work off of different scales/measurements.

When you corrected yourself to 140, this made more sense. Not sure how you go from 50-60 to 140, but either way.


Don't tell me "Don't worry about my budget..." You just said in the previous post that you don't have a lot of money for specific diets. Now you say not to worry about it. I'm not going to waste my time writing you up a good plan to have you just end up not doing it for sake of finances. So how about your cooperate with me and tell me a ballpark idea of how much you have to spend on food.


In regard to the gym - good, then you'll start next month.

That particular meal plan costs around $20 a day depending where you buy the groceries and the cytogainer.

hey! I was wondering what I should eat those days when I get up at 7 in the morning, go to school and hit the gym at like 6-7. I often eat a salad sandwhich in school 1 hour after I got there and 1-2 hours after I eat my lunch. Im 19 years old, 1,80 tall and I weigh 80kg (sorry for european values xD) Looking to get bigger!! Any help appreciated

Also, Is drinking 1-2 litres of water a good idea when youre going to the gym every 1-2'd day?

Calm down, man. I didn't even notice any attitude, I mean, it wasn't my intention to be that way. My bad, sorry about that.



I admit it, I don't know a lot about health/fitness.

Anyway, my budget is $20 a day for now as a start.

Plus, for a supplement I'm getting either Optimum: Serious Mass or Optimum: Gold Standard 100% Whey (else, whatever you recommend?)

Once again, I'm sorry about all that.

hey raynor, i'm gonna get a shin splint compressive sleeve. This one to be more specific: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000E5U8W/ref=s9_simh_gw_p200_d3_g200_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=05CEAE2Y2XTC1C0J8PYJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

I measured my lower leg, and the biggest part is a little under 15 inches in circumference. I should get the medium to get the best result? Or the small? How tight should the sleeve be to be the most effective?
