Snake is that you?



Actually I can tell you aren't Snake, not just from the avatar. But I was hoping, we miss him.


I seriously thought I had the only 612 number add on as a username >.< and Snake612 is what everyone wants to talk about when they see me. You know what? I can be better than him, let's be friends :D lmao

I'm fatter than you so, the above was just a joke, I just thought it was funny you think you are fat at that weight.  Unless you are like 5'0"..

That made me laugh. I didn't say I was fat, I said I had a lot of fat. Fat that needs to be made into muscle or be eliminated at once. Though my face is awfully chubby now o_o



 

        

I lost 65kg with these methods:

1. Do not drink anything with more than 1g of carbohydrates per 100mL. No caffeine or Alcohol. Vitamin water is a BIG no-no

2. Drink AT LEAST 2L of water per day

3. Protein shake breakfast and lunch, Protein meal for dinner (Steak, chicken, eggs etc) No high carb cooking oil. Use a George Foreman Grill or Olive Oil

4. Eat up on Vegetables. No higher carb vegetables though (no corn, potatoes or peas, and limit the carrots). If you feel hungry, have some more vegetables.

Fat cannot be made into muscle, it just doesn't work like that, they are completely different tissues. Exercises (notable cardio) will burn fat unless you continue consuming enough calories to cover those exercises. Of course pretty much everything else also burns calories, including digestion, thinking and just existing. Muscles also do, to be maintained, so having more muscles equals having a higher metabolism.

In the end it comes down to consuming less calories than you burn in order to get rid of fat. So eat foods that are filling while not overloaded with calories (pretty much avoid sweets and greasy stuff). Drink plenty of water, and move whenever you can - walk, either go to the gym or do some squats, press-ups etc at home. If you see that you end up not sticking to exercising alone, go for some training (team sports, martial arts, jogging buddy - whatever you find, just something on a schedule with other people).

Regarding where that fat is, it can be easier or harder to get rid of it, mostly due to blood circulation to the regions. However you cannot specifically target it, it will never turn into muscle and your body, when in need of energy, will decide where to take it off from. Usually places you got it last will be the ones it's taken off first.



i have seen a experiment on German TV a while ago, where they tried a Diet that goes like this:

for Breakfast: 3 coissants, with jam and butter

for Lunch: Pizza

for Dinner: Steak and Salad

The Girl who tried it slowly lost weight over the course of a few weeks.

 

the principle is, that you need to give your body high doses of carbohydrates during the day but only Protein in the evening. that way, during the night enzymes are triggered that will break down the fat in your fat-cells while you sleep.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
