1- Lifting Weights

Hey... wasn't this No. 9? What gives? Well, the actual activity of weightlifting only burns a moderate number of calories. But nothing puts lean muscle tissue on your body better than weightlifting; and nothing burns fat better than lean muscle. In fact, every pound of muscle burns 50 to 60 calories per day, 24/7. Therefore, over the course of a year, 10 pounds of new muscle will burn off at least 50 to 60 pounds of fat! Just keep your calorie intake the same and watch the fat disappear.

Mens health agrees with me

I really believe to lose weight a person has to do about an hour of cardio in one session at least for times a week and more. There must be consistancy and sometimes you will just have to let yourself be hungary. My stomach shrunk after I rode my bike all spring and summer and I had to eat more to prevent losing to much weight. Eventually, your stomach will shrink (literally the organ) will get to a nbormal size and it will take less food to fill you up.

Cardio is number one before weight lifting when it comes to losing weight, so if you do not like soreness you will not need much weight lifting unless you enjoy it. Lifting weights is to gain muscle mass, not burn calories. But gaining some muscle mass sure will help you burn more, but as much as leatherhat would lead you to believe.

Just advise from a man whole lost a lot of weight and has learned how to keep it off.


Muscle is key, if you had done weight training with your cardio your results would have come faster

Dude I have been a weight lifter for 9 years since I was 16. I have been a gym rat, but I never lost any fat just gained muscle. I only lost fat when I learned of the joys of cardio!


You misunderstand what I'm saying. For burning fat weight lifting isn't as effective as swimming or running. But building muscle makes everything you do a much more effective way to burn fat. Plus if all you do is cardio you will lose weight (slower) and than thats it. If you add weight training you will lose fat faster and come out looking built as well. Its win- win. 

I am not disagreeing only saying weight lifting is not a necessity for losing fat, it certainly helps. This is one reason women have a harder time losing weight than men because they have less overall muscle mass. Still women lose weight through exercise all the time and many of them are really weak people.

I think me and you agree with each other completely. We just are coming at the problem from different angles.

Good man, and I think between the both of us we have given this man some good advice.

A OP,  remember CONSISTANCY IS KEY!

You have to stop eating more calories than you burn each day. In order to lose weight, exercise is not necessary...but it does help...plus ther are other good side-effects of working out.

But realize that working out for 20 or 30 minutes you may burn ~300 calories, but eat one bagel and that is 300 calories. ONE BAGEL cancels out 20 to 30 minutes of working out. ONE BAGEL. You have to change what and how much you eat...exercise cannot do it alone...unless your exercising like 6-8 hours a day..like an Olympian swimmer.

I suggest for starters: 1) Stop drinking any calories...stop drinking soda, juice, lemonade, sweetened tea. Drink only water black coffee, and unsweetened tea. 2) Stop eating out. Make all your food at home. You can buy good frozen meals from lean cuisine, if you prefer (I do). 3) Eat smaller portions 4) Stop snacking, especially after about 6PM. 5) Its OK to not be completely full...its OK to be a little bit hungry even after just eating...never stuff yourself...only eat just enough. and If your not sure, then you should probably just stop eating. But make sure what you are eating is good. No more candybars!

But don't listen to me...you should really see your doctor and get hi/her thoughts. There are people out there that specialize in this stuff and are there to help.
