try not to eat anything pass 8 PM. If you do decide to eat rice, or flour. Switch it for brown rice and wheat. Take your daily vitamins too. lol

Naturally went from 185 to 172 in 2 months doing plyometric like workouts. Pretty simple stuff that takes about 45mins. No weights necessary and all you need is about 5x5 ft of space with adequate ceiling height. You do the workout every second day to give your body a days rest in between. After 11 workout days, you rest for a full week and move onto phase 2. There are a total of 33 workout days which takes 3 months.
Here's the site (all free info): http://www.basketballforcoaches.com/vertical-jump/ I didn't change my diet, probably ate more. Lost an unexpected 13lbs which really isn't what I was going for. My mission was just to jump higher. playing basketball 2-3 times a week also helped with that too.

Although age and other factors come into play, I played basketball 4 days a week (3 ours of straight running) for 2 months, ate mildly healthier (but still ate sweets occasionally) and lost 60# (233 to 173). In two months. Again, age and other factors must be considered, but losing weight is simply eating fewer calories than you expend, and exercising consistently. Running gives your entire body a workout, so I'd recommend that. Don't just jump into running an hour a day and eating veggies/meats for every meal. Your plan won't be sustainable for a long period of time. Ease into it. |

I do Crossfit sometimes (about 3x a week) and love it, in addition to running/biking.
My only issue with Crossfit though is that any idiot can become a "certified instructor." You don't have to have any real peronal training experience or certifications to be a Crossfit trainer (or whatever it is called) and be responsible for showing newbies what to do. This is just a recipe for disaster IMO. This is where people get hurt. Of course some places are well known for being great. Just gotta do your research. Seems like OP has the exercise part down though. Just work on cleaning up the diet a bit.

No soda, even diet, pasta, rice, bread, potatoes. Eat lean protein, egg whites, fish, chicken. Eat veggies that are grean as much as you want. No caffeine or alcohol. No food within 3 hours of bedtime. My typical diet was egg whites with tomatoes and maybe a sprinkle of cheese for breakfast. Vegetable soup for lunch or an atkins frozen meal. Dinner chicken and broccoli. Drink only water. My only cheat was coffee at breakfast. Snack was a half sour pickle between meals. I needed it lol. I lost 1 pound a day, 65 lbs in 2 months. Then kept it off 15 yrs now. 90% of weight is intake. 10% activity level. You need to maintain the new weight for a few years to retrain your body that this is the correct weight you should be. |

My route was different than above.
I just cut back my total calorie intake by 3500/week and lost one pound a week for 58 weeks. In general, my macros were 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. Still ate pasta, rice, cake, sweets, chocolate, etc... no cheat days necessary. But then the OP wasn't asking how to lose 60 pounds.... When you are of a healthy weight and are looking to lean out, cutting some of the things listed in the above post are likely necessary. If i wanted to transform my body composition i'd likely have to change my macros around a bit. Something like 40% protein, 30% fat and 30% carbs. While adding heavy lifting to stimulate muscle growth. What's also important is getting your body to a state in which it doesn't want to transfer energy to fat stores. Studies have shown that just walking 2 min every hour will cause your body to burn what you intake rather than put some of it to fat stores. Even if you're a gym rat or training for marathons, introducing a very short but brisk walk every hour of the day is supposed to help keep the excess fat from building up. Our bodies are like paranoid hoarders when you're not pushing them to the limit. A person with a typical office job who exercises 2 or 3 times a week will have a body that wants to put everything into fat stores, for ya know, just in case.

Protein shakes, protein bars, almonds, fruits, yogurt, and chicken will do the trick! Avoid breads, sweets, and processed foods as much as you can. That means stop bringing soda, chips, cookies, etc. into the house. It makes resisting the temptation so much easier. As far as carbs go, a little bit of brown rice is enough. Try not to eat too much 3-4 hrs before bed.
All this worked for me in losing weight during my cut. I did lose more muscle than I had hoped and can't figure out why because I was lifting daily and getting enough protein. I was probably doing too much Cardio. |

Myfitnesspal is great, even if you just do it for a few weeks, it gives you such an awareness of calories and nutrition. Admittedly logging in every day can get a bit tedious but it's good to get in the habit of knowing exactly what you're eating.

Keep things simple. Depending on your goals, lift heavy, eat sensible (high protien/lower carb), don't skimp on the fruits and veggies.
Also rest is important. If eating clean is a problem, try to find healthy alternatives/snacks. If your search up on YT you can find plenty of protien brownie/cookie recipes are that actually taste good. Hope that helps, GL with the training and diet. Mind over matter, you got this.
