    The craving for sweets might actually mean you are actually working out.

    This shit is easy bro if you want it to be.

    I think nonstop about chocolate ice cream.... with a sweet rum glaze.
     
    Fuck, I would order a banana split as long as it has chocolate on it.
     
    Be Cool Man.  We'll eat that shit later

    If you want to really lose your gut, do the Master Cleanser for 10 days with saltwater flushs in the morning to clean out everything that came loose in your bowels during the day and night (the book will explain everything clearly and answer all your questions)
    https://thelemonadediet.com/MCPRODUCTS.html

    I have been doing this annually for the past 7 yrs I am 36 now and it helps me everytime I need to slim down, plus allows your body's cells and organs to function properly and you feel f'n great and chicks want to do it with you, too!

    I am a nutritionist and I own a supplement store.
    I am 44 years old with 11% body fat.  Does this make me an expert? NO, but what has worked for me for years is this.

    Took keep it simple....get your carb count to under 100 a day. And I mean everyday until you get your weight to where you want to be.

    Sprints is correct...not 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill.
    A 30 second sprint as hard as you can go. No stopping and then rest for 3 minutes.  Start doing 4 sets like this then work your way up to 8 sets.  Weight train if you like and are looking to maintain or gain lean muscle.
    I lost 30 pounds and cut my body fat by 50% with this diet and excercise.

    When you get your weight to where you want it, you increase your carbs to between 150 and no more than 200 a day.

    Good Luck

Now i am see-sawing around 132-136. i haven't been below 132 pounds in years so my first goal is to reach below 132 pounds and then i know i am in the right path.
    How tall are you when you are standing?

    I have been doing this annually for the past 7 yrs I am 36 now and it helps me everytime I need to slim down, plus allows your body's cells and organs to function properly and you feel f'n great and chicks want to do it with you, too!

    Cheers for your input ammendol!! I have been thinking about a body flush of some sort but not too sure which one. This one is another option. I will look into this in depth.

    Took keep it simple....get your carb count to under 100 a day. And I mean everyday until you get your weight to where you want to be.

    Sprints is correct...not 30 minutes to an hour on the treadmill.
    A 30 second sprint as hard as you can go. No stopping and then rest for 3 minutes.  Start doing 4 sets like this then work your way up to 8 sets.  Weight train if you like and are looking to maintain or gain lean muscle.
    I lost 30 pounds and cut my body fat by 50% with this diet and excercise.

    When you get your weight to where you want it, you increase your carbs to between 150 and no more than 200 a day.

    Good Luck

    WaterHammer, good suggestion here that i will definitely consider. My treadmill has a setting like the one you mentioned where you sprint then speed drops and continues for 5 sets of sprints. I havent tried this setting yet as the treadmill is still new but may try it very soon. Appreciate your input feel free to drop in here more often.

    i'm finding the same with me since i've changed my diet!! i have been craving sweets when i'm not usually into sweet things. Perhaps because a good diet won't allow sugars. I tend to get my sugar intakes from fruits these days also so perhaps our body is just adjusting and craving sweets is part of the adjustments.

    Before i continue i must stop to thank everybody here for all the input & suggestions!!! You all have helped tremendously with all the very valuable information you have given me.

    When i first posted this was the time i wanted some change in my life. As i mentioned i use to be depressed and that depression put my mind in almost a comatosed state & my diet of Booze and junk foods was killing my body to the point i was always fatigued and run down. Even to this day i still fight the fatigue that i created in my body from years of neglect. Most of your advice and replies was part of my transitional stage and helped me greatly in getting started to a healthier lifestyle!!!!

    Much respect to you all!!

    Here's an update to what i have been doing lately:


    My diet has made almost a revolutionary turn as i gave up on processed food/ fast food/ junk foods all together. I have the occasional bites of hot and cold chips and a biscuit but not even CLOSE to how much i ate before. Here's what i have been having lately.


    Breakfast:

    - Herbs in boiling water that my herbalist prescribed me to strengthen my immune system.

    - Oats with water and soy milk and topped with a banana.

    - Sometimes tuna omlette with tomatoes and spinach.

    - Sometimes wholemeal pancakes with eggs.

    Lunch:

    - Mixed leaves salad with cuccumber, tomoatoes, sprouts, coriander with either fish or free range chicken.

    - Sometimes frozen vegetables (beans, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots) with fish, boiled eggs or chicken.

    - I usually have green tea with barley grass or wheat grass after lunch. I bought barley grass and wheat grass from the health store and have a teaspoon of each a day in green tea. What does it do? they are alkaline products that help lower the acidity of your body. The more acidic your body the more you are prone to decease such as cancer.

    Snacks:

    - I have been having fruit smoothies. Either avocado and banana smoothies or carrots, oranges, strawberries and apples smoothies.

    - I have been eating a carrot or banana as snacks. Lately i have given in and have eaten a hand full of cold chips and a biscuit which i must stop all together but the craving is so great i give in some times.

    Dinner:

    - Same as lunch but sometimes i have wholemeal pasta without sauce i'll just have it with marinated chicken and salad.

    - I've made a habit to include slices of cuccumber with anything that is fried.

    - My wife has been making these spinach leaves omlette sort of dish which goes alright with salad.

    - After dinner i have another cup of green tea with either barley or wheat grass which ever one i didnt have after lunch. Or a fruit smoothie.

    I usually end the night with a cup of Herbs the same as the one i take in the morning.


    I have given up eating beef all together and am sticking to seafood and chicken. No more rice, flour products, anything with sugar like lollies, choclates etc. I also take supplements (omega3 oil capsules, vitamin c, mens multi vitamin)




    Excersice:

    - The usual 30 min treadmill sessions. Only difference now is i've been pushing my body more and more setting speeds on higher settings and inclining the treadmill. I go on the treadmill every 2nd day. Sometimes i do it every day for 3 days.

    - The usual light weights sessions a rep of 30, 10, 10, 10 and 30 push ups and this work out i do on the chair to work my triceps - i do 20 reps of those. I do this every 2nd day i dont run on the treadmill or i would do it some times 2 or 3 consecutive days.

    - The usual 3 hr run full court basketball every early sunday morning with the fellas.

    - The usual shoot around on the crt few times during the week.

    Also, if i haven't mentioned it already i do not drink regular cows milk, have not drank it for over a year now. I have been drinking soy milk instead. I do not drink soda's, coke etc.

    I drink soy milk, water, green tea, barley/wheat grass and my fruit smoothies.

    I've also given up on my beloved Gatorade which i was pretty much addicted to. Instead i pack my water bottles with green tea. I got this tip initially from Steve Nash who states the caffeine in green tea is enough to give him the jump start he needs for work outs. Also Gatorade is acidic and as i mentioned am eating more alkaline foods.

    3ballbomber,

    Just glanced at your menu there.  Pretty exotic and congrats on all the changes but don't burn yourself out.  Eat what you want but keep it in check.

    If you are working out, then I would say you definately need more protein in that diet.  Also, unless you are at the weight you want to be at, wouldn't even think of eating pasta for dinner.  Once you get to the weight you want to stay at, then maybe but not in reduction mode.  The pasta sauce is fine, it is the PASTA which is pure carbs dude.

    Another thought is the treadmill thing.  Sprinting on concrete or grass is NOTHING compared to sprinting on a treadmill.  It's painfull but also really quick.

    What meant to say is that I don't think it is even possible to SPRINT on a treadmill.

    Ditch that and go outside and do a few sprints.  Doesn't take many.  If you play hoops, then you may get that in but only if you are SPRINTING and not rolling around.

    Man, I can't believe we are here giving weight loss advice to a guy who weighs 150
     
    Look 3Ball, this may sound harsh but this will jump start you.
     
      If you are gonna be short, then you BETTER be ripped.
     
    Skip all that herbal mumbo jumbo and go to the chicken and tuna fish thread and repeat that process for 60 days.
     
    First goal is to get ripped, can work on the hair and shit later.

    Done for the year is a "figurative" term.  That means losing the winter gut and tightening the abs so can lounge pool side for the next six months.
     
    No body builder here but there is general man type maintenance year around and still gotta keep the shit moving around but in terms of "getting" in shape, there are zero shortcuts.
     
    I got "out" of shape this winter and am doubling up to get back "in" shape. 
     
    Peaked at 194 in January, hit a 188 comfy plateau a month later and now at 184 and ready to start kicking sand.

    And kicking sand does not mean bench pressing.
     
    It means a combination of strength, endurance, and stamina.
     
    Throw any type of ball to any body builder and they will get this concept.

    Start with a basketballl....
     
    They won't even be able to touch it.
     
    Then hand them a tennis ball, soccer ball,  Same result.
     
    Not picking on bodybuilders but EMPHASIZING all around conditioning.  Bodybuilders go through extensive nutritional research and planning and understand a LOT which is awesome .... but that in no way compares to overrall athletic conditioning so keep that hoops game up but SPRINT while you are doing it.

    Here's an example....
     
    My "gym" trainer looks like Mike Vick but I would spot him ten years and destroy him in every single sport that involves a moving ball.
     
    Do I worship my trainer?....Hell yes, but that is just "one" part of the physical conditioning process.

    Even if the balls are not "moving"   .... golf
     
    Flexibility is key too.
     
    My longwinded point is dont' be like every other fat dude at the gym who can bench 225 but cannot take their shirt off.
     
    Work the entire body including stamina and flexibility.
     
    Hoops is PERFECT for that if you push it.  If you are the "3 point bomber" that's great but spazz out, sprint around, and at least get a workout. 
     
    If the game is too slow, go do "box jumps" on the bench.  Those will GET YOU by the way.
