eat nuts and muller rice as snackes try have noodles for dinner or soup then have a meal of an evening maybe jacket potato or chicken and chips or a roast normal meals but try my best in the day i slip up sumtimes and may have a pack of crisps maybe once every 2 -3 days but thats been it for the last month basically
1 - I don't think you're eating enough - you need to incorporate more "whole meals" to your diet.
2 - You don't have enough protein in your diet.
3 - It seems as though you have your biggest meal in the evening, and snack the rest of the day. Try and spread out your calories over the entire day so you don't get hungry and overeat at the big meal. Think about it - you're most active during the day, so if you eat in the morning, you will burn more throughout the day. Recommended is 4-6 smaller meals a day.
4 - You need more balance. Carbs, fats, and protein are the macro nutrients that you need to have with more or less every meal.
i am 20yrs old 6.4 and i dont have a clue on how much i way i think it maybe around 18 18.5 mark but i dnt look massive as i am very well built wide shoulders and that just me belly and stuff.
Don't try to guess your weight. If you aren't sure exactly how much you weight, you can't set yourself a realistic goal. Invest in a scale - it's definitely worth it. Plus, you may be a lot closer to or further from your goal than you think. Even if you are well built, you need to work out your entire body to lose fat - can't "spot reduce" anything.
i am hoping to loose a stone by xmas if its realistic and overall maybe 2 stone 2.5 and keep it off
Sure, it's possible and realistic. 28-35 lbs in approximately 20 weeks. You can typically lose 2lbs per week safely. The one thing to keep in mind is that people who mix up their exercises between cardio and weight lifting typically see 3 times the results of those who do one or the other. Try incorporating some HIIT into your routine and set a workout schedule for 3-5 days per week. Make sure you're giving your body a break.
But, more so than ANYTHING, you need to focus on what you eat. The exercise program will just assist a bit and help maintain muscle mass; but your diet will be responsible for a HUGE portion of your success.
Remember, don't think of it as a "diet" as much as a "change in lifestyle." If you approach this as a temporary diet, you will lose weight - but you will gain it back when your diet is over and you start eating like crap again. It's hard work to maintain a healthy lifestyle, so take little steps at a time and work towards it.
