Popular Post GLewis Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 Exercise is the key. Det rid of fatty and sugary foods as well. But without exercise it wont work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not difficult to say but much more difficult to do. Avoid diets, they are a complete waste of money. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 I think the most important part is that you have to be motivated to do it. Really motivated! I have also a couple of kg too much and I like the idea about losing weight. But then again I like good food and cake and chocolate and pasta and ice-cream. What would I gain if I lose weight? Would the girls be 50B cheaper? How much would I have to lose and how much would I have to exercise before the girls would decide something like: He is old but so handsome... Summary for me: Not enough motivation. Over to you, maybe you are better motivated. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikingsunset Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) A guy I know has lost 30 kg by eating this salad 7 days a week, lunchtimes, I eat it 2 or 3 times a week its simply delicious ,I never tire of it ; 1 Tin Tuna ( in water/brine) drained and flaked. 1 dessert spoon german mustard 1 splash soy sauce 1 squirt lemon juice 1 splash Olive Oil Fresh Coriander leaves,loads,chopped 1/2 medium Onion Chopped Celery finely Chopped ( as much as you want) Pitted Black or Green Olives - dessert spoonful. mix it all together and try not too eat it too quickly - really. Over time you will adjust ingredient quantities to suit your taste. Good Luck...

You'd have to check the price difference between your actual XXXL clothes and L clothes... Also you would save on the cost of food, chocolate cake is much more expensive than unsalted nuts! As for the bar girls, that would rather be the opposite: the fatter you are, the richer you are! They have no interest for slim guys, even less so if they don't shave their head and have no tattoos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have no interest for slim guys, even less so if they don't shave their head and have no tattoos! Why should I eat unsalted nuts if I can afford chocolate cake? The bigger t-shirts cost on Sukhumvit maybe 50B more than the smaller size. No problem. Which brings us back to the question about the motivation... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not simplistic or a flawed cliche. It is fact. Less calories in and more calories out results in weight loss. One of the main reasons that there are so many diets is that too many people want to make money from regimes that will only work for a small percentage of people.

Different foods are used very differently by the body. In other words calories consumed is not in any way the same thing as calories used. Choosing what kinds of foods to eat and which not to eat or to limit (and also portion control) is much more logical than counting calories. The old it's just simple math cliché is as dated as answering machines. Edited November 23, 2018 by Jingthing 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Cutting back on carbohydrates (which is just about everything that tastes good) is the best way to lose the rollers. Like maybe one slice of bread instead of two. Just a few chips instead of a bunch. 2 beers instead of 5. etc. Along with a 30-60 minute walk (or treadmill) 5 days a week you will be feeling good soon.

It means whatever you are eating now eat less of it at each mealtime, + do more exercise. Then 'simple math' does rule. See you added further edits as you normally do. Not interested in your further justifications, I repeat eat less means eat the same as you do now but less each meal. How the body deals with different types of food does not come into it then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simplest advice is true: burn more than you take in and you will lose weight. I'll bet the OP doesn't exercise and just porks out at every meal. He knows what he needs to do...but is hoping for a miracle cure that doesn't take too much effort. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(108 to 63 kg) I just want to add that the walking should be done at maximum speed, not just a leisurely stroll. Even though a stroll is better than sitting still. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving the heart a good workout is usually a good thing. But, whether one sprints for 1 minute or leisurely strolls for 20, the calories "burned" are the same for the same distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
