[dany1]

Hello Everybody!
i am new here on the forum
i am desperate and need help here!!
PLEASE HELP ME
i have gotten soo confused by reading soo many article on the internet
here who i am, please read and please help me

I am 16 years old,male 5'9 and weigh 228 pounds
i am on summer vacation now, and ready to lose weight
i have recently joined a gym close to me to lose weight in the summer
basically i want to lose as much weight as i can untill september, when i am in my new clases and want people to respect me instead of that silent fatass. I also avoid sitting with girls or being close to one as i am fat and she might wanna get away from me. Basically I have lost my cofidence. I am willing to DO ANYTHING to lose that weight

i am very confused by reading soo many article on the internet about weight loss and all of them claim different things. One say that you can lose one pound a day while the other say no more then 2 pounds a week is good. Articles can be soo confusing and also there are soo many diet that i am tired now. some artcle also suggest if you eat very less, you might be able to lose weight slowly then if you eat at normal amount, your cells would work and you would lose weight easily. i dont want this to happen to me too

i have 10 weeks (65 days) to lose as much as i can. I am hoping for losing 40-60 pounds in that time. I am thinking about exercise 4 hours a day including 1 hour of weight training 5 days a week. Can also do more hours if required.

I am sticking with danish diet for 13 days, right here which is good for your metabolism and you also lose weight, then i will continue with negative calories concept diet, basically eat food all the time.

Is negative calories food concept true. Is it possible to lose calories while you eat more, Here the list of fruit and vegetable that come in negavtive foods. Is the food in this catogory better to eat more and more to lose more calories or to eat as less as possible so tht you dont feel hungry and still have the samll amount of calories in you.

I have been working out on the tread mill and ellipticle machine in the gym,and they have two program fat burn and cardio. i dont know hich ones to choose from if i want to lose more weight. in many articles it says to lose fat you must spent a lot of time on fat burn to lose more weight. Cardio will build your muscle. any suggestion as to what heart rate i should be at to lose the maximum amount of fat/weight. So should i spent those 3 hours on high intensity (cardio) program or spent 6 hours on the low intensity (fat burn) program. Which one would be better to lose more fat/weight. Yes i am this desperat to lose weight and since its summer, i am doing this like a job, a job of losing weight.

please give me advice on this fat burn and cardio excercise, which i better

please if you can tell me about a diet that you can fastest lose weight.

and again is negative calories food concept true and the diest i am following good enought.

Basically tell me if my plan would enable me to lose the most weight in shortest amount of time

and can someone also tell me how much calries i should take in one day after i am off the danish diet since i would also be burning them

Dany,
I think that it's great you've decided to become a healthier person and lose some weight. I beleive it is much easier get motivated and do it at a young age instead of waiting until the daily corporate life distracts you. With that said, please make sure you are doing this the proper way. I'm not sure that spending 6 hours at the gym or doing cardio is the safest and healthiest way.

Lets take a look at your cardiovascular exercise first. You mentioned the 2 programs on the elliptical - fat burn and cardio. Really the only difference between these 2 programs is going to be the target heart rate. The fat burn tends to have a low (too low in my opinion) THR and the cardio a higher THR. I think ideally for someone your age you want to be between 132-153 beats per min. This is about 65 - 75% of your max. heart rate. This is the ideal zone to exercise in b/c you burn a decent amnt of fat and your metabolism says elevated for longer, post-exercise. The best of both worlds. As far as duration, 30-60 mins, 4-5xwk would be ideal. Remember, more is not necessarily better. Muscle growth while you are resting. You need a recovery period.

Secondly, you should really begin a light strength training program as well. This is KEY to long term maintenance of your weight. Not to mention looking defined and "in shape". A general strength training routine consists of 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps. A full body routine is usually best for beginners.

Last is of course your diet. If you are serious about changing your eating habits and have invested in a gym membership I would take it a step further and consult with a registered Dietician. The RD will be able to calculate your caloric consumption vs. caloric expenditure for safe weight loss. If you do not do this the proper way your growing body will suffer tremendously. Remember, at your tender age you still have much growing to do. You don't want to do more harm than good!

I hope this has helped. Good luck and stay healthy!
