I want to maximise weight loss in 6 days (before my holiday).

I go to the gym daily and aim for 500 calories, my diet consists of things like pasta, potato, beans ect, healthy in my opinion! Before i go to the gym i drink about 3 strong coffee's to maximise the session as caffeine helps your metabolism, i spend about 20-30 minutes muscle building (but im generally not a muscley person).

ANy tips on how to maximise fat loss in such short period of time?

Thanks

hmm 500 cals a day? Sure you will lose weight, but most of it will be lean body mass.

I think she meant she aims to burn 500 calories, not take in (?)

What he means, general talk, is your body will start to feed on your own muscle so you will lose weight but it will be primarily your muscle...but I think (hope) you eat more than 500 calories right?
 
I aim to burn 500 calories per day!

Some days I eat about 600-700 calories (bowl of corn flakes, about 6 fruit throughout the day, sandwich with corned beef and coleslaw or jam on toast, and tea - spaghetti bolognese, or jacket potato with beans, salad, thin ham) and some other days I will eat between 1000-1300! On average about 900 calories/day.

I train my muscles daily!

P.s. Im a HE :D
 
overtraining.. not enough protein. You might want to be eating more protein than carbs if you are planning on cutting. Most of those foods are carb rich or just not very good.
 
This is from my archives:

High Fat Ketogenic Diet: 20 – 30% protein, 0 – 3% carbs, 70 – 80% fats
Why – best for staggering fat loss with total muscle retention…feel and look good within a short period…enables amazing carb ups for rapid muscle gain
Why Not – limited and inflexible…inconvenient (every meal needs to be measured)…possible lethargy or hyperglycaemia in initial stages…if you’re a bodybuilder you will lose wt fast and look flat and small
Tips – if you do it, do it properly…don’t have too much protein and don’t boost energy with carbs…energy slumps are followed by high energy levels…cycle in high carb and high protein periods every 2 weeks…don’t avoid saturated fat

protein and fat with every meal...healthy fats though such as nuts, almonds, walnuts, avocados, fish varieties

Sample

Meal 1 - 9:00am: 1 can of tuna, 3tbs mayo, 1 tbs olive oil, 1 cap thermadrene, 16oz water, 1 multivitamin, 400IU vit E, 1 cal/mag, 5g glutamine, Cals-456, Pro-33g, Carb-0g, Fat-36g
Meal 2 - 10:00am - 10:30am - Weight Train…Meal 2 - 10:45am: 6 whole eggs, 1 tbs olive oil, 1 multivitamin, 5g creatine, 5g glutamine, 50mg 5-HTP, 16oz water, lettuce, Cals-513, Pro-36g, Carb-0g, Fat-41g
Meal 3 - 1:00pm: 4oz ground beef, 1 tbs olive oil, lettuce, Cals-394, Pro-22g, Carb-0g, Fat-34g
Meal 4 - 4:00pm: 6 whole eggs, 1 tbs olive oil, lettuce, Cals-513 , Pro-36g, Carb-0g, Fat-41g
Meal 5 - 8:00pm: 1 can of tuna, 3tbs mayo, lettuce, 50mg 5-HTP, Cals-456, Pro-33g, Carb-0g, Fat-36g
Totals - Cals-2372, Pro-160g - 27%, Carbs-10-20g - 3%, Fat-188g-71%, Water is about 6 liters.

don't worry about the supp's...do 30mins interval training before meal 1 and then do 8 x 8 x 2 exercises for each muscle a session like this:
1 - upper body (back, chest, shoulders, arms)
2 - lower (quads, hams, calves, abs/core/lower back)
3 - upper
4 - lower

8 x 8 - choose a wt that's 60% of your max or about 15 - 20 rep max and do 8 x 8 with 30secs between sets and no more..rest 1min and do next exercise
 
Not enough food, too much working out. Recipe for disaster. You need to eat more and get a regular cardio and strength training routine that will help move you towards your goals and not over train you. Here are 5 tips to help you get started.

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.
 
my post was for a 6 day wt loss which she asked...wouldn't even dream of doing that long term although it has been done with great results over long term but the diet is very ordinary

You average on 900 calories a day? You mean on a normal day? That is really unhealthy. Do you have any kind of history with an eating disorder?

errr....another noob here.....how do I compute how much calories I'm burning or taking in.

And I've read in one of the posts that you could actually lose your muscle instead of your fats? How is this possible?
 
chouji,

You can use fitday.com to keep track of what you eat. I wouldn't use it for much more than that though. It GROSSLY over-estimates how many calories you have burned.

It is possible to burn muscle instead of fat. It's a long story...lol. The basics of it are: when you do not eat enough calories... your body needs to find an energy source. Many people believe it turns to stored fat... but that's not necessarily true. In some cases it breaks down your muscle and uses that for fuel and it saves the fat.

It is very important to eat the correct amount of calories for your body and your goals.
