hey i might write a book , the next dieting blockbuster on it

FatOne buy a bicycle. Set out a route, lets say 25km, and cycle it everyday as early as possible. It'll take about an hour. Not much time really and you'll definitely feel the benefits after the first month. Good luck.

^He weighs over 300 pounds. There's no way he's hopping on a bike and riding 2.5 meters, much less 2.5km. Get real.....FFS...25km?

Davis don't judge people from a forum. Everyone's different. 12 months ago I was 107kg. I started to cycle 40km daily. I only cut it down to 25km once I reached my target weight of 94kg. I'm 63.

Nice discipline, Prag...

True to form, every situation and individual will be different from the next.

Hence why he starts out with a distance that's achievable. 25km should be achievable even for a 300 pound male IMO, even if it took him 2 hours. He will improve with time.

107 is a far cry from 140kg. I doubt he could even get on a bike.

But well done to you, and good for him if he can do it..

Why not make it a new year resolution FatOne - Crimbo is a good eating season!

I dropped 10Kg to 65Kg when I cycle toured the US. I was eating like a horse everyday since I was carrying tent and sleeping gear and everything but still dropped the Kgs. Thing is when I got to LA and stopped cycling I went on eating like a horse for 2 more weeks after and got all the weight back.

I think the key to long term stable weight loss is changing your diet.

Seconded - it is all from the neck up. It's one thing to talk about the "what I will do" and quite another to have the mind set and will power to achieve it. Kinda like a New Years resolution. The temptation to deviate from the path is/are enormous. KUDO's pragmatic.


Another thing about lipo that hasn't been mentioned - it hurts! Not from personal experience but a five minute TV news filler from a 45 year old male who said he took the "easy way" out trying to lose 30 some pounds. In his words "it hurts like hell and I would never have considered it if they had told me about the pain involved". A solid week of pain in motion. Didn't matter what he did it hurt. Even sitting down. He had several pounds of fat removed form his midsection and love handles.

So, expensive, and painful, also unlikely to provide the hoped for results.

New one out now is to "freeze" the fat away. Don't know anything about it although I've seen a commercial or two. Another fad to separate you from your hard earned cash.

Have a friend who lost 35-40 pounds over the course of a year by fasting (water only) one day a week and minding (paying attention to or minimizing) his fat intake all other days. Says he doesn't mind the fasting at all.

Fasting - I can do it for a colonoscopy - for weight loss? don't think so.

I agree with the last sentence. Probably I could lose weight that way and regain it when I end the fasting. No point in that.

About fat reduction, I tried that. Always hungry and still gaining weight was the result. I stopped at least the weight gain when I increased fat intake again, it stopped the hunger. I am now just 5kg below my peak weight.

I could do 800 calories for two days a week. I would like to lose 10-15kg but not hunger every day.

Don't know if you exercise TO ^ but along with the starvation + T total lifestyle I am now shifting the weight with cardio exercise

Cardio is not for me. I can do only only moderate exertion like biking or walking. A heart condition that will not stop me from reaching the age of 90, fortunately.

Ah well at least your doing something mate ,, being active is the key

I found once you get in the groove and your body accepts the new regime the hunger goes away naturally .

I have now replaced my lunchtime sarnie with 2 black coffees , it fills you up and gives you that sensation of having had something mid day , then the afternoon is filled with a litre of water until a smallish dinner early evening

Well, I'm off to the Gym for my daily workout. Hopefully it's doing some good

Even good enough to surprise my cardiologist. On the last check she found my condition has become a lot better and told me according to the text books that is not supposed to happen. The condition is non treatable and never gets better. Fortunately my heart did not know that.

Good on you ^ all the best with it ^

Well done FO ,, no beer when you get back from the gym mind

I had a friend who lost 35 kg by having a balloon inserted into is stomach and partially inflated. he could only eat soup and other liquids and threw up a bit at first but it worked and after it was removed he continued to eat smaller portions.

I had another friend who lost 50 kg by stopping drinking alcohol and having his GP prescribe him Adderal (amphetamine) for "ADHA".

Liposuction is mainly useful for spot reduction on areas where you've accumulated fat cells and can't lose enough weight to get rid of them. If you're 40kg overweight they would have to do liposuction on so many places at a time that you'd lose an unhealthy amount of weight and no reputable doctor would agree to do it.

Diet with limited calories and frequent meals and exercise is the best way, but it takes a while.

Definitively. But if you're looking for long term success and not a short lived quick fix, that's the way to go. If we agree that over eating is an addiction, forming new habits takes time.
