Need to lose weight fast [muscle mass] [quot]
Hello everyone,
I am a 18 year old senior in high school. With that said, the swimming season around the corner and I need help. I need to lose weight fast. Im pretty strong and high in muscle mass, but above this is a low-fat. I play soccer so I train a lot and eat even more. I am 511 “and weighs about 190. My current diet and exercise consists of lifting weights three days, two days walk of about 2-3 miles per day. That can not change because I can not fit in any exercise in my scheduele got some tips to eat and / or additions to lose some fat and keep / get muscle.
In the past 2-3 weeks I have limited myself in food, but I seem to always be hungry, and only 1 pounds lost:
Breakfast: a plain bagel with cream cheese
Lunch: 8 “sub (vegetables, Bologna, cheese),
Snack: Fruit/Veggies
Dinner: Depending days. Usually I eat w / e my mom makes. Salad and fruit. (Approximately 300 calories)
Snack: Fruit / vegetable, sometimes industrial things like a cookie or two, candy.
I Gatorade drink and / or water during the day. Sometimes “Vitamin Water”
Im not taking supplements taken, although I protein and creatine in the past.
Any tips on how to improve and to minimize muscle loss weightloss / inactivity?
Reply:guy,
Sugar AND fat free Oreos? Wow! I sure could've used them month ago when I quit smoking? LOL
Are they in the diet section of the grocery store or the cookie section?
Reply:I agree with guy, your workout plan sounds great. =D
I also agree with him on the Gatoraide subject; I shall add something as well. Gatoraide has a high *sodium* content. That means, unless you're sweating a /lot/ every day you drink it, you're actually gaining weight; I'm sure you know that salt retains water. Not good.
Also, a lot of my friends have informed me that multi-vitamin pills are excellent and actually do help you.
I hope that helps. Good luck!
Reply:Sounds like you're on an excellent workout plan.
I would get rid of the bagel and cream cheese and replace it with a piece of whole grain toast and some SMART spread. Also, find an alternative for the cookies and candy. I recently discovered sugar/fat free Oreos and they taste really good. From what I understand, Gatoraide has a high sugar content so I would stay away from that, too. Consuming more lean protein, fruits and veggies will make you feel full longer. Stay away from the refined carbs and processed foods.
In my opinion, if you want to lose weight you need to create a good habits. Weight loss is not a destination, it is a habit. Consistently adding habits into your life that cause you to lose weight is the only way to get the results you truly desire.
