I'm 19, about 190 lbs, and I'm looking to lose my gut and my boobies, and possibly some fat in my thighs.
I've been heading over to my community gym working on some of the machines there and have been taking PM Protein.
I hear that running a lot will help me lose that weight or fat, but I have asthma, so it hurts to run. I try to run/walk/run/walk at the park when I can, but I'm looking for an alternative. Maybe a punching bag, some swimming, or indoor cycling.
Think you can give me a few pointers or tips?
Hey there.
I can recommend to you the following:
1. Eat 6 small meals a day (spaced out every 2-3 hours) - a good example of diet should be...
Meal 1 - bowl of low-sugar cereal and milk
Meal 2 - handful of mixed nuts
Meal 3 - chicken on a salad (low calorie dressing only...or olive oil + vinegar)
Meal 4 - hard boiled egg with some raw veggies
Meal 5 - a few slices of lunch meat and cheese
Meal 6 - cottage cheese
2. NO SUGAR! Cut sugar out of your diet. No desserts, no sodas, no chocolate, etc.
3. Drink only Water, Diet Soda, Tea/Coffee, and other zero-calorie beverages.
4. Exercise at least 1 hour a day 5 days a week. The best way to get this exercise for you is to just attempt pushups, jumping jacks, bodyweight squats, knee raises, jump rope, swimming, or biking. All of these are easily controllable to accommodate your asthma.
5. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night
6. Make sure you get at least 30 minutes of direct sun on your body a day for optimal vitamin D (aids in fat loss)
7. Take a fat burner like GAT Jet Fuel or Nutrex Lipo 6.
If you follow those steps you will achieve your goal in no time.
