I dont believe in diets as people tend to yo yo.
Some, what I believe to be facts.
DO NOT "DIET", if you start eating less without exercise, all you do is lose muscle mass. That's not good, because muscle burns of quite a bit more calories even at standing. Yes that means even sitting down you burn more calories. You can find 5 or 10 minute high intensity routines (careful when starting) per day that can actually gain some impressive results.
The fastest way to lose weight, is actually to gain it (I'm going somewhere with this lol).
Muscle weighs more than fat, hence super built people have ludicrously high BMIs, yet they'd uber fit!
Weight is nonsense, it's all about tone. Lean muscle mass.
Another peculiar one? Eat peanut butter (or some peanuts), especially before bed lol. Speeds up the metabolism eating a hit of protein and helps you sleep believe it or not.
Drink vegetable juices, fresh ones, find ones you like, sweeten with an apple/ginger etc - and begin your day with a glass of water, a relatively big one, to give your metabolism a boost.
Avoid wheat products where possible.
Green Tea.
These are all surprisingly easy changes to make. If you take sugar in your drinks, reduce it by one, gradually you don't notice it and when you fancy a sweet one to give you a hit of sugar on a heavy day it's proper lush!
That's the key I think, just make gradual steps, make that step a habit, then add another.
Habits take a couple of weeks or so to form due to the rebuilding of your neurological functioning, however, they then become the new habits. That's why the first couple of weeks is always so difficult, and why when people try to change too much too fast, they often fail and "yo yo".
If you're serious dude, small steps mate, don't make it a huge mission, and try and find some stupid things to do that actually aren't too bad.
It isn't all Rivitas and Weight Watchers meals lol!
