Seeing that this section is on healthy living despite the many moaners on it, how can i lose a stone in a month? I cant afford a gym member ship and cant afford loads of food to buy, are there any specific exercises to targeyt my stomach and arms? Thanks xxxxRachelxxx
 
Eat a very small high fibre breakfast, then a high protein plant/veg based lunch. Normal evening meal, then a brisk walk for 20 minutes. Indoors you could buy an exercise ball and a wheel and do some light exercise each day. I burn 500 calories a day on an exercise bike. It's good cardio and fat burning.

Have a f**k it all day too, where you eat, drink what you like. ?
 
Are you trying to lose weight or tone up. If it's simply lose weight then not eating and running in multiple layers of clothes so you sweat it off is what jockeys and boxers do. It's also a great way to faint and collapse. A month is too short a time unless you set yourself a realistic goal.

Push ups and sit ups until you spew are both excellent exercises that require no equipment and very little room. I'd also use a skipping rope, it's one of the cheapest and most effective ways to get fit.
 
Interesting read but i have to do this for myself, i have a stepper but my calves ache after 5 mins on it. Its fat i want to lose, not to tone up xxxRachelxxx
 
Don't want to spoil the fun but you can't lose weight "just at the arms and stomach". Fat is distributed evenly.
Obviously, if those are your problem areas, the more you exercise the more it will show at those sites specifically. I just wanted to point out there's no exercise "to lose arm/belly fat", in case you were ready to fall for the stuff sold on midnight television. :)

15minutes of yoga and stretching is ideal for waking up (after a glass of tepid water and before breakfast).
I also swim before breakfast but I read that might not be an option for you.

If you're calves hurt that quickly you might be dehydrated. Water is key when exercising.

For me personally, fat loss started when I started eating less. I went swimming and did yoga for 2 years without really losing weight (obviously there was more muscle but not really less fat). I just liked eating (sugar) too much.

Fat loss = Kcal in < Kcal out, simple as that.
 
It's great that you want to lose 14lbs but there's no need to try to lose it in one month and in fact it isn't really healthy to lose weight that fast even if it WAS possible, which I'm not sure it is because that's really fast.

In general they say it isn't healthy to lose more than 2lbs a week.

You should probably try to lose 14lbs over the course of 3 or 4 months and that will be much less harsh on your body.
 
The real question is after 3 days, how much exercise have you done? If the answer is none then you have fuck all chance of losing a stone in a month
 
The correct way to lose weight and actually be able to keep it off is to journal you daily caloric intake and maintain a 200 to 300 calorie deficit.

This will allow you to lose .5 to 1 kilo (1-2 lbs) per week. If you try and loose a stone (14lbs, 6.4 Kg) you will have a very hard time doing this and if you do the weight will pile back on and you will have a good chance of ending up weighing more.

The body is designed to recognize when a food source famine is occurring. What it will do when it recognizes this, and it will think your self induced famine is a real famine, is it starts trying to hold onto and build up as much as its fat reserve as possible.

If you were able to loose weight that fast then you would be losing muscle instead of fat. Fat over muscle looks better than fat over emaciated muscle. This is why people that lose weight rapidly look worse than they did before they lost the weight.

If you lost the weight this fast you would be extremely hungry all the time as your brain would be kicking strong motivation for you locate food and eat it.

After the self imposed starvation the metabolic system would be set in famine mode so you would probably not have lost much of the fat storage, but instead lost your muscles. Then when you started to eat again it would put that all back into fat before it would back into muscles.

Instead of looking or a quick fix that could have very bad results, I would instead come up with a good strong plan to do it the successful way.

Healthy diet full of nutrient rich food and cut way back on carbs. You need to eat to lose weight.:sus:

Journal everything you eat and the calories it contains and maintain a two to three hundred caloric deficit.

High quality multivitamin

Strong exercise regiment. Both weight training and also cardio. For the cardio I would do interval training. If you're considering not doing the weight training.. take a look around at your gym a check ou the bodies of the people who just do cardio and compare them to the people who do both or even just weight train. If your gyms like mine Im pretty sure you will notice that the people who lift look much healthier and fit.

Hit the gym, eat right in the right amount, and you will see your body, health, mental health, and weight steadily improve and improve.

I would consider just making this change a permanent lifestyle change instead of setting a goal to be reached.

If we don't care about health at all and only weight loss, go on a 1 month binge of stimulants and you'll shed those pounds! And also your liver!

This.

And everything NSA said - that was an amazing post with a ton of progressive advice!

I've found results with high protein, high fiber diets for cutting. However, this approach may not be as healthy as ketogenic diets or others. My experience with weight loss is limited, having a high metabolism, but there are many great ideas in this thread.

From what I've seen, frustration is common with desiring expeditious results, and one of the biggest hangups comes with reducing diets to all carbs or all fats = bad, which can result in unhealthy eating habits that are mentally and physically taxing. Carb loading days, usually every week to 10 days, are popular on low carb diets, with a goal of preventing adaptation to new eating habits, which would otherwise result in a "plateau" where weight loss levels off.
 
Excellent replies everyone, thank you, i was starving myself and was wondering why the weight wasnt shifting

Fuck the diet industrial complex. Your body is awesome, no matter what size it is. Love it.
 
Certainly. But "improving" your body is about making it stronger, fitter, healthier, more resilient to illness, improving your feelings about it to boost mental health and self-esteem. Trying to make your body smaller is neither an "improvement" or "healthy".

do what every pro bodybuilder does when cutting fat,forget about the vegan bullshit,you will go on low carb diet,I said low not 0 carb

image plate with 1. white rice 2. steak & butter 3. steamed vegetables,what you gonna do is eat just that minus number 1.,no rice,no bread,no pasta,no potatoes,you get my point


dont lower protein or you go catabolic,dont lower fats you need them for hormones and they make you feel full much longer


best cardio is moderate speed walking,running is catabolic cortisol bukkake stress pointless torture,either sprint or walk NO RUNNING.... walk about 2 hours a morning on empty stomach
