I am160 pounds I want to be 150. So how can I lose it?
Q: I am a male, age 24, 5"7 and 160 pounds I want to be 150. So how can I lose it? I eat fewer meals each day. Like today all I had was a peace of bread and a slice of chicken ham fat free and a glass of v8. That is my meals all day.
Mozzy: You are not eating enough. If you continue to eat like this, you will slow your metabolism, making weight loss very difficult. The more frequently you eat, the more efficient your metabolism. You need to eat healthy foods whenever possible, including lean protein, fruits and veggies, and complex carbohydrates like whole grain breads and cereals. Eat regularly and frequently. Eating less does not equal fat loss. It equals water and muscle loss and it ultimately leads to gaining all the weight back and more.
If you want to lose it and keep it off, the 3 pronged approach to fat loss is your best chance of success. Begin a cardio program (running, cycling, elliptical, etc.) in conjunction with a strength training program focusing on the large muscle groups.
