Dirtbike Clutched April 12, 2011 Author Share April 12, 2011 Not true. Yes, although veggies are mainly a carbohydrate, but the are the last thing you should worry about. Along with the little carbs they contain, they also contain plenty of vitamins and minerals and fibre. They're ok to eat. Take this example: 1 cup of spaghetti has 43g of carbs. 1 cup of broccoli has 6g of carbs. 1 can of regular Coke has 39g of carbs. What your focus should be is cutting out all sugar, bread, noodles... Rice is ok? I always have the misconception that one should cut down on rice n change the diet to noodles.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whathefish 5th Gear April 12, 2011 Share April 12, 2011 Of course any activity helps. My point is intense short bursts sets up the best possible hormonal response for specifically fat loss. true resistant training is better to loss fats...long slow jog for 5km is waste of time... start slow..dun stress your heart out for the 1st few weeks....n together with diet will help... dun need too strict a diet since u dun need 6 packs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peqasus 1st Gear April 12, 2011 Share April 12, 2011 The only catch is consistency. Make healthy living a part of ur habit. Eg every nite I make it a pt to run for 15 min, 60 crunches, 80 push ups. Eat as per normal, best if for every bowl if carbo take 2-3 scoops out. gorge occasionally. Use to hv gym membership but realize hv to prep this prep tat sorta turns me off. Nothing scientific except try to burn more calories daily. Keep it simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenbackside 1st Gear April 12, 2011 Share April 12, 2011 Rice is ok? I always have the misconception that one should cut down on rice n change the diet to noodles.. 1 cup of white rice has 44g of carbs. 1 cup of brown rice has 44g of carbs. Better? Or worse? At gun point, I will choose to eat rice over noodles. You can pluck rice from nature, but you can't find a noodle plant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short intense bursts can be a few sets of max effort back squats, or a few sets of pull ups to failure, or a few sets of max effort 100m sprints. Long slow jogs brought me from 120kg to 90kg. Short intense bursts brought me from 90kg to 65kg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathism Neutral Newbie April 12, 2011 Share April 12, 2011 to put it in a motoring perspective, long slow jogs are is like the output of the engine's power enabling weight loss. short burst is that shot of NOS that gives that "burst" of supplementary power to propel your weight loss further. am i correct to say that?

Dirtbike Clutched April 12, 2011 Author Share April 12, 2011 (edited) slow jog as in what kind of pace? 6min/km pace consider slow jog? Distance covered will be between 5-10km... I cannot only do interval trainings, got 25km passion run coming up....so i will need to do clock some distance too... most prob i will do each once a wk, so total of 2 training sessions.

Lost weight a few times through sheer calorie counting and eating less and exercising more. Always gained back the weight. Until I found out the foods that make me fat and hungry. Cut them out, and the weight just melted off. Now, I'm up to 70kg because of heavy lifting. But it's lean mass. My waist now is the same as when I was 65kg (29").
