This is absolutely the best advice i know of on losing fat.
Its quite straight forward - Eat less, work more, repeat. Sometimes you slip - Easter, friend's stag do, weekend in Vegas etc. - you start again.
This is not rocket science. I read all these links that have been posted here on HIIT, Tabata, 100-pushups, cross-fit and what not, they all read like everyone is pushing to be an elite athlete. May be some people are but i suspect the majority are where i am - get the basics right in the amount of time and effort you can spend on it and keep it simple.
- gaius 16y agoIt might not be rocket science, but it's not straightforward either. "Eat less", but less of what? You throw the baby out with the bathwater on some cabbage soup diet that wastes away your muscle mass and slows your metabolism. Let's say your maintenance intake is 2500 cals/day and you want to lose a pound a week, that's a 500 cal deficit per day. Which you could do by diet. Or you could up your diet to 3000 cals/day and burn an extra 1000 cals/day through exercise. The latter is almost certainly going to work better as it boosts base metabolism, and you won't have to fight hunger with pure willpower.
