Come up is great, last A LONG TIME and is quite euphoric.
I'm male, does that make any difference or does all the same stuff you said still apply?So despite popular belief running/cardio is not the way to lose weight, it can but needs to be mixed with HIIT AND lifting.
I’m assuming your a woman, and women often feel lifting will “bulk them up” but you need a base level of lean muscle to keep burning fat even during rest. This is why people who do just cardio gain weight back so easily.
You won’t get much anywhere just walking IMO. Unless you hike hours each day.
Maybe start with 60 min walk 5-7 days a week (you need to go for ya least 30 before you really even start to burn calories), but also add in pushups, crunches, bicep curls, and squats. If all you can do is 1 of each to start, do it, but slowly work up.
You won’t ever get bulky like a male even with weight training exercises, you want that lean muscle for a number of reasons.
If your a male, my bad.. lol. None of that applies. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask, my partner has her doctorates in this shit and I’ve done a fair amount of independent research myself to get where I’m at today health wise.

While these things will likely help with weight loss, none of them are what actually causes weight loss. Caloric deficit is what causes weight loss, as it's entirely possible to do all these things and gain weight, if one is eating at a sufficient caloric surplus. All the weight lost their metabolic process is breathed out as carbon dioxide, so as long as someone is breathing, they are burning calories. The reason people don't typically lose weight without exercising is because of a caloric surplus.So despite popular belief running/cardio is not the way to lose weight, it can but needs to be mixed with HIIT AND lifting.

Any sort of exercise will work, the best is a combination of weight training and cardio, in my opinion, especially if you are trying to lose weight/fat. As stated above, caloric deficit is what causes weight loss. So if your goal is to simply lose weight, staying in a caloric deficit would suffice. However, since you state specifically that you want to lose belly fat, I'd suggest that you look into the metabolic process and what is called ketosis. To put it simply, your body normally uses glucose(sugar) for energy. This glucose can come from carbohydrates, protein converted to glucose, or converted fat. When the body doesn't have enough glucose, it enters what is called ketosis, at which point it starts converting fat into glucose.Does going for a walk help you lose a gut or weight?
or Do people have to go for a run?
I need to get rid of my gut cos it looks like i'm twenty seven weeks pregnant.
Can't I just go for a run and cut out the carbs/sugar?Any sort of exercise will work, the best is a combination of weight training and cardio, in my opinion, especially if you are trying to lose weight/fat.

So, that is in short, why it's important to count macronutrients as well as calories, as eating 1000 calories of carbohydrates will have a different impact than eating 1000 calories of protein and fat. The ketogenic diet is somewhat controversial, although it seems proven to be effective, it isn't entirely necessary to cut out carbs completely to lose weight or burn fat(not to mention it's entirely possible to gain weight/fat on a ketogenic/0 carb diet if eating at a caloric surplus). I think it's important to find what works for you. There is going to be a balance between calorie restriction and exercise, if the goal is to lose weight/burn fat. If you want to gain muscle mass, there is going to be more focus on calorie intake and exercise. It really depends on your individual goal and body type. It's also entirely possible to burn fat while gaining muscle. The 5-10hrs/week working out is the easy part, staying disciplined on your diet the rest of the week is a lot harder, imo.
Start swimming some laps in that pool..Does going for a walk help you lose a gut or weight?

How are your plants?Start swimming some laps in that pool..
you could, but excess protein can be converted to glucose and then to fat when glucose stores are full, which is why caloric deficit is needed not just low carb/no carb diet, not accounting for fat intake either. As explained above, you could just eat less, or you can exercise more, or both. Depends on what your willing to do to reach your goal, many types of diets and exercise. Counting macros is best, as it accounts for all types of calories.Can't I just go for a run and cut out the carbs/sugar?
I am serious. How much for surgery?It's nice wasting advice on people that aren't even serious.
In order to build muscle, one needs to eat around 1g of protein per 1lb of body weight, as well as train until muscle failure.
What the hell. hahaha....some clarification, please: I've always read that it is 1g proteint/kg body weight desired. These would obviously be vastly different amounts.
For example, I weigh ~73kg/160ishlbs Now, if I want to build muscle do I eat, say 75-80g or protein a day whilst training or 160g of protein?
Also, since you seem to be quite knowledgeable about this I'd like to ask you about excess protein intake:
As you can probably guess from the numbers above, I'm in decent shape weight-wise (I'm 5'11" tall), however I think I consume way too much protein.
My diet consists largely of fat (mostly from olive oil, eggs, nuts, seeds, and fish) as is and given what it consists of a large amount of protein as well.
I'm pretty sure I eat excess protein. For example, my dinner last night consisted of a 500g salmon fillet and a salad, no carbs. Until I read your post above I had no idea about excess proteing converting to glucose and then being stored as fat.
Is there anything inherently unhealthy about this?
Does it, for example, store fat around the organs or cause plaque build up in the arteries as opposed to being visible fatty tissue?
My body fat percentage is a decent ~13-15%, I think....it's been a few years since I've measured it, but I look pretty well the same.
It may complicate matters that my diet never changes but my level of physical activity does.
I rock climb regularly and have a physical job, but only do weight training 4 months a year (in winter when my outdoor job is slower).
I recently quit smoking and hope to add a cardio routine (stationary bike) to my exercise regime this winter and to start playing football (soccer for you American out here) again next summer. I miss it terribly....I don't think I've ever been as high as I have been on the football pitch (including the time I ate 7g of mushrooms).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers.
