Nathan Addict 175 posts	Saturday 13th November 2004 at 14:48 Has anyone got any tips on losing weight. I cerainly not fat, not at all. Just got a bit of extra weight around the middle. Mostly from beer. Does anyone have any ideas how I can shed some of this off. I'm quite fit but don't really have a lot of time to exercise. Is there any kind of secret. I know this post should probably be posted in like, cosmopolitan magazine, lol. I thought a few of you would have some experience etc... _____________________________

lance Regular 26 posts	Monday 15th November 2004 at 02:32 Sorry this is a bit long... Fat is stored fuel that your body hasn't used. Fat is metabolically inactive. It just sits in your cells and does nothing useful A bloke needs around 2500 calories a day to maintain his body weight. If you eat more than this and don't excercise, you'll store the extra calories as fat. The healthiest way to shift it is to do aerobic and restistance excercise and make a few modest changes to your diet like food swaps: eat low fat spread instead of butter, jaffa cakes instead of digestives, oven chips instead of fried chips, semi skimmed instead of full fat, olive oil instead of vegetable or sunflower oil etc (this should help shave a few of the extra calories). Try and do at least 30 mins of aerobic excercise 3 times a week at a moderate pace or intensity. Your body will use fat as fuel for this type of excercise (walking, jogging, rowing, swimming and cycling are all good fat burners) Try and do 2 full body resistance/weight workouts a week. Stick to compound movements (those that use multiple muscle groups) like squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press and shoulder press. Think muscle toning not body building. Muscle is metabolically active. Everytime you use a muscle it turns glycogen (stored within the muscle) into fuel. This glycogen must be replaced. The body will convert stored fat into glycogen to top up the muscles' fuel. The more muscle you use, the more fuel they will need, the more fat you will burn. Also, there are numerous studies that show that the body turns fat into glycogen for the muscles for around 14 hours after you finish your weight workout. Green tea contains compounds that have been shown to help shift fat and it's 100% natural (unlike some of the so called "fat burners" on the market). Try 2 cups a day. Creatine has been shown to increase strength and endurance. I haven't seen any claim that it helps shift fat. Hope this helps

Sorry this is a bit long...

Fat is stored fuel that your body hasn't used.
Fat is metabolically inactive. It just sits in your cells and does nothing useful
A bloke needs around 2500 calories a day to maintain his body weight. If you eat more than this and don't excercise, you'll store the extra calories as fat.

The healthiest way to shift it is to do aerobic and restistance excercise and make
a few modest changes to your diet like food swaps: eat low fat spread instead of butter, jaffa cakes instead of digestives, oven chips instead of fried chips, semi skimmed instead of full fat, olive oil instead of vegetable or sunflower oil etc (this should help shave a few of the extra calories).

Try and do at least 30 mins of aerobic excercise 3 times a week at a moderate pace
or intensity. Your body will use fat as fuel for this type of excercise (walking, jogging, rowing, swimming and cycling are all good fat burners)

Try and do 2 full body resistance/weight workouts a week. Stick to compound movements (those that use multiple muscle groups) like squats, deadlifts, rows, bench press and shoulder press. Think muscle toning not body building.

creatine wont help you lose weight!

simple equation

if calories in are less than calories burned off you'll lose weight.
if calories in exceed calories burned off you'll lose weight.

try cutting out things such as white bread, pasta rice. just get you're carbs from fruit/veg.
