Would anyone be interested in sharing their weight loss success story?
The most i weighed was 72 kgs. Not really fat but i went huge. Was benching and doing squats a lot. Before i used to be very skinny. To gain weight i ate a lot of chicken and used Progain Protein shake. Leg presses and Squats played a huge role in my exercise routine. Last year i lost a lot of weight because i couldn't asked training so much and eating so much. So i dropped 10kgs in few months. I plan on going upto 70kgs again but this time i want less body fat and more muscle mass. I use Protein 90+ protein shake.
Long story short if you want to lose weight burn more calories then consuming them. but its hard. Avoid desi food please. Specially our Pakistani heavy foods such as gosht salan. biryani, korma, nihari paye etc. You can eat curry few times in a week as some curry is supposed to be good for us because of the natural herbs and spices we use.
Eat lots of vegs. lentils is also very light and natural source of protein. beans. make sure you drink enough water. 10 glasses of water per day should be minimum.
This was roughly my exercise plan.
(Leg press should be the last exercise, never do them before getting on to tread mill).
Monday: Bench press. Leg press. Triceps & biceps. 20 mins cycling or running at the end. Go really fast in last 2 mins.
Tuesday: Cardio, cycling, running and rowing. Sit ups and curls.
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Shoulder press, upper and lower back exercises. 20 mins running same as Monday.
Friday: 30 mins jogging, 15 mins cycling, 20 mins rowing.
Saturday: Biceps, Triceps & bench press, cycling/running 20 mins again.
Sunday: Rest.
