Loseing weight
- Thread starter Iris yip
- Start date
Losing weight is all about fundementals and commitment, it's really not rocket science. Eat healthy and move your body. I don't know what you're doing or eating based on your post but I'd start with eating small healthy meals that fit in the palm of your 2 hands every 3 or 4 hours, excercise 30 minutes to an hour 4 to 6 days a week, drink a gallon of water a day and get 8 hours of sleep. That's a basic formula for losing weight, it has worked for me.
You can also: join a gym, get a trainer, get some books on nutrition (a good one that I use a blue print for my eating is the book 'Fire Up Your Metabolism' the Tammy and Lyssie Lakatos. That book rules!
As far as working out, a combination of strength training, long peroids of moderate cardio combined and stretching may be a good place to start for you. You can even throw in some interval training for fun.
Good luck.

That's the catch when it comes to diet pills (well, one of them)- whatever weight you do happen to lose will come back when you stop taking them.
I like the idea of "self" when it comes to weight loss. There are usually a lot of emotions tied to our eating habits, and understanding them can go a long way.
Read around on the forums, there is a lot of good advice, and check out the FAQs at the top of several of them.

Jillian Michaels and The Biggest Loser are two great motivators for people. Whatever motivates you in a healthy way is a good thing
Any pill or fad diet will most likely cause you nothing but frustration over time. It may seem to work at first because you see the scale going down. But you already know what happens when you stop taking the pills.
I recommend getting on track with a simple and basic fitness and nutrition program. Hollywoodblvd made a good post with recommendations above. Here are my favorite tips:
1) Eat 5-6 small meals throughout the day. Each meal should be 2-3 hours apart. Each meal should contain one protein and one carb. The first meal should be eaten within an hour after waking.
2) Drink a cup of water at each meal.
3) Rest properly. This means taking at least 48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and it also means getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Lastly, it means taking 1-2 days off from exercising per week.
4) Cardio. This should be done at different intensity levels and different session lengths. Consider doing a low intensity/long session, a high intensity/short session and a few medium intensity/medium length sessions.
5) Strength Training. Strength train each muscle 1-3 times per week. You should lift a proper weight and perform the proper amount of sets/reps for your strength training method. If you need more guidance or exercise ideas you can head over
All of the above things combined will result in fat loss.

I've never watched the show, but I heard from some experienced lifters and body builders that they put the clients through some foolish trails (extremely low calorie diets, not eating after 5pm, etc).
Cynic said:
Im not an expert on the show, but I've heard the same things. I do know that Jillian is either loved or hated. In February we are doing a conference together so I'll get a change to grill her more than ever. I'm excited.
Anyway, my thoughts are that the show itself is a motivator for many people. It may not be the best way to lose fat for everyone... but it's helping people too.
But that's off topic to this thread.

Ice down your muscles. You'll also want to invest into a foam roller or two and start breaking up the scar tissue and adhesion.

Be careful Iris. There's a difference between being sore from training and being hurt.
