I need to drop some weight before summer arives (20-30lbs) I swim for an hour (1000 calories burnt) 3-4 times a week. I just started taking chlorella, spirulina, and linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid).

I’ve been eating chicken and fish pretty exclusively for my protiens. I eat fairly healthy. I still occasionaly eat things I shouldn’t, but who doesn’t.

I need a good diet system. Eating 4 times a day thing, maybe something that builds a menu that isn’t a scam.

As for the title of this post. My keyboard batteries are low. It’s supposed to say Need professional diet info.

How many meals a day are you eating? Sometimes just changing how much and when you are eating will give your metabolism a boost. I dropped about 25lbs in about three months a few years ago just by changing my eating habits. Same amount of food. I also believe in a cheat day once a week.

if you read the book “the zone” by barry sears, you will realize there is never a need for suppliments.food is a drug.  
to take one thing creates a deficit in another.  
im not going to debate anyone here popping vitamins spirulina and anything else.  
its more about moving things your already eating around to suit your metabolism, less about adding yet another miracle-something to make you feel better.  
nature had the right idea.

I know they won’t help me loose weight. I am hoping the green tea will help jump start my metabolism though. I don’t get all the nutrients I should, because I don’t eat a large enough variety of foods, so I feel like I need these supliments just to be healthier.

I eat 3 meals a day, but i’d like to switch to the 4-5 meal thing, but I hear their are very important guidelines to follow. I was hoping to find information on that specificly.

Six small meals a day is optimal. Also, as Lor said, you really need to take in a variety of foods that will balance your nutrition. If you want to drop weight fast…you should eliminate sugar from your diet (all processed sugars). (fruits have natural glucose which our bodies need).

try not to eat after 7 pm (only because after this time, usually our bodies go into a rest mode. therefore you will not expel energy and eliminate calorie intake.)

basically, six meals will boost metabolism.  
small meals will reduce caloric intake.  
excercise will expel addtionaly calories.  
drink lots of water (this will flush your system and make you feel full)  
celery is a negative calorie food (meaning you actually burn MORE calories eating celery!) this is great for a snack.

and a fast will also work. you can check them out on the web, but i have done fruit and veggie fasts. (drink this instead of having SOLID food)

hope this helps!

Creatine is over rated. It does work, but’s REALY bad for you. It crystalizes in you liver if you don’t drink enought water, it dehydrates your body to fill your muscles with water (which is part of the visual muscle growth). This water in turn makes your muscles work harder providing more muscle mass in a shorter amount of time. Retaining the muscle one you’ve stopped using it can be tricky as well.

If you want to go crazy with muscle building you go to GNC and ask for human growth hormones. They break down into steriods in your body. You use them for a certain amount of time (i don’t remember) then when you stop you take estrogen suplements to prevent losing all the muscle and re reagulate your testosterone levels.

I’m going to the gym and swim my ass off. Later!

BTW, I just took all those suplements about 30 minutes ago and I fell very shap and unusualy energized. Hmm. Must be the green tea and caffine. lol

Eat 3 servings of non-fat, plain yogurt a day. Does amazing stuff to you. Research shows that those who ate yogurt lost 81% more bellyfat than those who didn’t eat yogurt. Good stuff. If you can go organic, even better. The more bacteria, the better your digestion and so on so forth. Good luck

I’ve been doing similar things to what you all have posted. I’m down 5 pounds in 4 days. At this rate in 12-15 weeks i’ll hit my target of 215.

Oh and those human growth hormones are a real hit to the liver. Don’t drink alcohol, drink A LOT OF WATER if you decide to take them. I’m not even going to attempt that. I’m swimming because of my acl, plus I don’t lift without a spotter or a lifting partner (which I don’t have)

5lbs in 4 days? Is that healthy? Are you sure you arent losing muscle, because you are losing weight fairly quickly. I thought the range for gaining/losing weight should be 2.5lbs a week…

I dropped 10lbs in about two weeks while rebuilding muscle mass, and increasing my strength. It was mostly holiday weight, which my body wanted to rid itself of anyway. I was in pretty good shape back in the day, so ‘muscle memory’ is allowing me to rebuild at a relatively rapid rate…all without any kind of supplementation.

So its quite possible to lose a lot of weight, and retain and/or build additional muscle. Just plan your diet properly (lor and muse give good advice), and hit the gym.

Also, the more muscle mass you have, the higher your sitting and working metabolism will be. I know a lot of people who want to focus on burning fat, but don’t ever consider toning their muscles. You can build quite a bit of mass without lifting heavily…high reps at low weight can actually tone and build your body better than a high weight, low rep routine.

But Sigma, if you compare yours and Toils, you lose 10lbs in 2 weeks, which is 14 days. If toil continues at his pace thats a little less than 20lbs in 2 weeks, thats more than double. But i guess it’s all body type. Mine makes it hard to gain weight… muscle wise, so i have to try pretty hard to get ready for the summer

I’ve got a lot of extra poundage to drop, and I have a rather muscular physique underneith that I have been neglecting. I think it’s healthier for me to be dropping 4-6 lbs a week than cary the extra weight though. It will taper off to smaller losses after about a month though (unfortunetly)

I happened to stumble across some very good info. [nutritiondata.com](http://nutritiondata.com) and one I forgot all about [menshealth.com](http://menshealth.com)

Off to the gym. Wooo.

Okay, now I know you have probably heard this a thousand times before when you even mention the word diet but the south beach diet is probably the only diet that has ever worked for me.

It’s a breakfast, then a snack, lunch, snack, dinner, dessert or snack. Now, on phase one, which is the first two weeks of dieting you can drop 6-15 pounds. (I lost 8)Then you drop to phase 2 which is 1-2 pounds a week. Then when you are happy with your weight you go to phase 3.

I have dropped 70lbs on this diet…70 freaking pounds. Now, that took awhile to do but for 20-30 lbs it would be alot faster. I won’t lie to you that it is really hard to do at first, and alot of people quit in the first week. (I came very close, and cheated 2 or 3 times) But if you can stand the first two weeks, phase two will seem like a treat.
