I've been doing this since February and it is great but really really hard.  I don't follow the exact schedule because I can't work out 6 times a week but I manage to do it about 4 times per week on average.  I also run 5 times a week for 30 minutes and do some light lifting 3 days a week for about 20 minutes.... so basically I'm at the gym from 5:30-7ish most mornings during the week.  I eat OK but it could be better.  No alcohol either.... which blows.  I want to lose another 10 lbs. but I don't have the mental energy right now to go through with it.  I'm 6'0" and about 183-185lbs. (down from my all time high of 234lbs. about 2.5 years ago) and I feel like the last 3 months or so I've just been "maintaining" which is OK I guess.... better than gaining.

I was about to say same thing.  When I first wanted to get in shape I tried p90x, and instanity just looked like that...on steroids lol, but from ppl who do it I only hear good things.  And agreed, no alcohol can kill anyones mental energy ;)

Every body is different.

  Id work out twice as hard, and twice as often, as some of my former martial arts students.. and my muscular development was twice as slow, and less developed.

 I also know people who can eat all day, and not gain... where as I know others, who eat one or two things... and get instant bulge.

 This has to do with body and brain chemistry, digestion / absorption efficiency,  food allergies (many people dont even know they have),  Youth (young bodies heal, develop, and shed mass much quicker), and much more.   Youth also tends to be IGNORANT... thus you see these kinds of idiotic posts.


 If you want to lose mass... Eat more veggies, cut back on sugar, less starches, and Drop almost all the FATS.  Most especially the man-made stuff that clogs your arteries.  Trans-fats, High Saturated fats, Hydrogenated fats.   Look on the packages.  Note the amounts and the kinds of fats.

 Fast food and cheap food, is most likely to have high saturated fat content, as well as man made fats which do major internal damages over time.

 Choose lean meats, like Chicken... over high fat meats..such as burgers and sausages.
 Lose the high fat salad dressings.
 Cease the Ice Cream.
 Stay away from nuts.  Eat lean protein instead.
 Reduce portion sizes gradually... and wait an hour after finishing, even if you feel hungry, before eating more.
 Eat lower quantities of less foods more often... rather than in large mass lumps.
 Dont starve the body of nutrients or stop eating.  This trains the body to save the food as fats, because it never knows when the next meal will come.

 Exercise.
 Dont exceed a certain level of calories intake.
 
 If you Pig Out often.. that shows you have probably have a loss of control / compulsive condition / or have a psychological issue.  That may need other methods to correct it, such as medication, counseling, etc.    Or it may be self fixable, by putting effort into Internal Strength development:  Start daily meditations, and start to gain control of the deeper inner mind, soul, and thus body.

 No more time for the rest.  Might post more later.

Oh wow...where to begin...I will admit you said a few things that were correct "Dont exceed a certain level of calories intake" being one of them.  But 80% of your post sounds like the normal crap that someone who just finished watching "forks over knives" likes to spew.  So instead of lengthy paragraphs, I will make it easy for you.  Watch "fathead" on netflix or something, research IIFYM, realize how wrong all of the propaganda you have been fed actually is, then come back here and apologize to all these forum members for spreading your broscience.

Xousche doesnt lose weight, weight loses him.


I lost 27 lbs in 6 weeks, better diet and P90X routine. 30 lbs in 30 days doesnt sound very safe, unless maybe youre just poopin alot.

Here's an entertaining article: http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/fat-officially-incurable-according-to-science/
It is on cracked, so don't take it as gospel, but they do link to some good studies on fat loss.

Pretty much all of the studies show that people can keep off 5% of their weight over the long term, and statistically your more likely to survive a gun shot wound to the head than to keep anything significantly more than that off.

Of course that shouldn't stop anyone from trying to lose weight (I've lost over 60 pounds in the past year and am still dropping weight), but it should help clear things up to people who think everyone's body is the same.


--- Quote ---the person who is at 175 pounds after a huge weight loss now has a completely different physical makeup from the person who is naturally 175 -- exercise benefits them less, calories are more readily stored as fat, the impulse to eat occurs far, far more often. The formerly fat person can exercise ten times the willpower of the never-fat guy, and still wind up fat again. The impulses are simply more frequent, and stronger, and the physical consequences of giving in are more severe. The people who successfully do it are the ones who become psychologically obsessive about it
