    Eat breakfast. If you're like me and love cereal or you just don't have time to cook anything, eat this:

    Low carbs, high protein, and you get used to the taste.

    This is the greatest "diet/workout" I've ever seen results with..
    I went from 240 to under 200 in 3 months. All natural. No special equipment. No GMC.
    (No p90x either)

    Your Diet is ESSENTIAL. More essential than any abdominals.
    NO SODIUM. Avoid at all costs. Throw out your salt.
    No heavy starches. The diet itself is actually very easy.
    6 small portion meals a day. Your 7th day would be your cheat day
    But you break up those portions between Grilled chicken breast, grilled salmon, tilapia, salad, some tuna, piece of wheat toast, almonds, egg-white omelets w veggies, lots of veggies, snack on a few fruits here and there. If you HAVE to eat fast food: Subway. But work it down to only 6 inches if you scarf foot longs usually and dress your sandwich accordingly.. Chicken breast, no cheese, veggies galore, fat free dressing.

    Trust me when I say it SUCKS, but you get use to it and it becomes just as routine. Plus once you start seeing results, you'll really feel more motivated to follow your diet.

    Work out-wise: Run a mile a day until you feel you can run a mile half and increase increments as you can push thru them. But that's the glaring secret - PUSHING thru them. This whole diet is what boxers and mma fighters go thru to cut weight the weeks leading up to their fight. So my MMA fighter friend pushed me to no end, other wise I don't think I could have followed thru. So I suggest getting a friend if possible to help keep you disciplined. After a month I was running 2 miles with ease on my own and went on to run 3 miles which to ME personally, was once thought to be impossible lol.

    I'd run first, hit a body bag for a good 3 minutes straight, then do 3-superset work outs focusing on only one area (mon: bi's, tues: chest, weds: tri's, etc) but push it to the limits.

    If you have any questions just message me and I'll do what I can!


    Good luck!

    I am living on this diet and losing weight constantly+steadily, and working out speeds things up significantly:

    No refined sugar or products that contain it
    No white rice
    No white bread
    No white pasta
    No potatoes (though tiny potatoes r ok in moderation, n sweet potato is vgood 4 u too)
    No large amounts of fruit juice
    Limit milk and cheese
    Get good fats (lack of good fats also inhibits fat loss)

    - Make sure each meal is smaller than the last (except the post work out)
    - Make sure you give your body a healthy well-rounded meal breakfast and post workout.
    - Drink lots of water.
    - Get a blood test and find out if you have any deficiencies. There are loads of deficiencies which inhibit fat loss, so you may be wasting your time. I was struggling hard and even experimented with under the counter stuff thinking I needed more. Turns out my body produces insulin like a maniac (sugar makes me sleepy) and I'm Vitamin D deficient (which inhibits fat loss).

    Doing this, I lose about 1.5lbs per week working out 3-4 hours per week, and I never give 100%.

    You can spend your whole life learning about all the different foods, but realistically most people won't do that. A risk-based approach makes more sense. My diet is essentially focusing on things that I would consume in relatively large quantities that were clearly giving me more energy than I can or need to consume in each sitting. Cutting them out was far more effective than spending countless hours reviewing nutritional facts, balancing meals, counting calories, etc.

    Now, I don't count calories, I don't avoid fried foods, I'm not crazy about portion control, I don't work out like a crazy animal every time I work out (which is totally unnatural and impractical btw), but most importantly my mind feels great, my body is taking shape instead of just shrinking, and I'm experiencing roughly 20% boost in immunity due to cutting out refined sugar.

    Hope that helps.
