There is no magic number of carbs, proteins, and fats You have to eat to lose weight but a good place for you to start off with is...

You should lose weight very easily when...

If you're eating the right amount of calories to lose weight, Exercising and eating your carbs, proteins and fats at a 50/30/20 ratio and you're not getting the weight loss results you want - then...

To lose weight faster by eating less carbs...

You can lower your complex carbs to 30-to-40% while increasing your protein to 40-to-50% and keeping your fats at 10-to-20% for a carb, protein and fat ratio of something like 40/40/20 and this MAY help you lose weight faster because...

If I was your trainer (which I guess Iam now..)

I would do this diet here along with this workout plan here and let me tell you this...

In 4 weeks at your weight and height - losing your last 10 pounds is all about workout intensity so no MORE CARDIO and strictly intervals but...

you can do cardio as extra and realize...

losing last 10 pounds at your weight and height usually takes longer simply because you already look good meaning you are not overweight and...

stay in touch with me so I can alwasy help you and another thing...

even if you dont end up taking my advice - you need to find somethign and stick to it

Hi Adrian,
I know your already answered my question about whether the wedding day diet works so I bought it & was quiet disappointed. Altho I'm not sure yet whether or not the diet/excersise regime will work i am skeptical. It has you eating mainly protein & fat at every meal with green vegies not being classefied as carbs so they are allowed and 1 piece of fruit per day (& the usual..drink water green tea take fish oil etc) then 1 day a 'carb up' day where u are allied carbs. The workout is what I'm not too sure about. 1hour of cardio per day plus 60 min of weight training a week spread over 3 workouts where u do 8 sets of 8 reps on one particular muscle ie biceps 8x8 then 1excersise 4 ur back again 8x8 that's it! I am really running out of time and want to know what plan is really going to work. In the past I purchased warpspeed fatloss book which I could also do now, do u know anything about that?. I have already started implementing what I know & are working out but these programs all say to follow 100% so which one should I choose? I am 25 weigh 143 and 5.8 tall want to lose at least 10 pounds and be really toned!! Have 4 weeks at most!! Am prepared to be as strict as poss. Have even quit my job so I have heaps of time to workout & get everything right. Sorry for long post and thank you so much for all your help!!!
Regards,

Help, I don't exercise, I have lung issues. looking for some exercises and guidance I can do from a chair, I walk when I can and where I can. I'm under a doctors care. He lets me walk until my ox levels drop to 90. Then I'm to sit back down. I don't want to get bigger. And I want to live and be healther. My first goal is to be below 250 by November and right now it's the begining of August. So I think this is reasonable. I drink about 90 oz of water a day. No soda, eat veggies and fruit and eat my lean meats ...can't take the diet drinks and diet products so this is all old school weight loss. I do take iron, b12 and calc w/vit d. Any advise would be a great help. Thank you... ST

Hi Adrian,
I came across this website and was like wow! This guy is great. Love all your advice. So I have a few questions. I'm a black female 6'1, 210 37yo. I've had 4 kids. People look at me and say you're so tall and pretty you should model. I wear a 14/16 I'd like to drop to a 10/12. I don't want to look sick though. I'd like to tone up w/o bulking up, I have broad shoulders. I'm flabby in legs, butt, arms and have loose skin on tummy from kids. I run 4 miles a day used to weigh 320. Now nothing is working. I keep my calories at 1000-1300 a day just fruits, vegtables, lofat yogurt, tuna, eggs and whey protein daily. I take oxyelite pro as a supplement. What am I doing wrong?

here I am weighing 285 at 5ft tall trying to loose a significant amount body fat and i'm reading all these super skinny people who weight 120 who want to loose an extra 10 to 15lbs!!! What is that about? I think its too sad that this society has put this much pressure on people to be a size zero all while facilitating obesity in others by encouraging super-sized, high calorie, overly processed death foods.

My question is how much is too much and how small is too small? I just want to get to a healthy weight and still maintain sexy curves... Not into being anyone's stick and i'm definately not interested in seeing my rib cage through my skin and you shouldn't either...

Hey Adrian, I'm trying to regulate my diet. I'm 17 years old, 5'4'', and weighing in about 215 Lbz. To me now it's just getting ridiculous, but I've decided I'm in need to be dedicate to this one, just I don't know where to start. I've quit drinking soda, less salt, and more water. I'm also wondering how long it will take me to lose 70 - 80 pounds.

Meh. I eat 20% or less of my calories from carbs and don't crave them at all. If I eat more carbs, I get bloated and jittery and gain weight - so the above stuff about cravings doesn't apply to everyone.

Hey Adrian,

Hoping you can give me some advice..Im a 5"8 150lb female...I work out 5 days a week at between 1.5-2 hours a day. I usually alternate every other month between a 3 day and a 4 day split with weights..and I always do 4 days of cardio (step aerobics, running, HIIT) with 1 light day of walking or yoga. I have cut my carbs down to between 1800-2000 calories for about 5 months and have tried 40/40/20 -- 50/30/20 --and even 55/30/15...I dont seem to lose weight... I do carry a lot of muscle (built for speed not endurance) but cant seem to lean down to the size 6 I would like to be (i eat clean and allow 2 cheat meals a week) .....any suggestions???

you're not overweight so I would cut out the cheat meals - see rule #4 here

you need to be intense in your workouts and forget about cardio and follow these 8 rules here

Hello!

I love your site! I just had a question, I put in my information in your calculator above and it showed me how many calories to eat to lose weight. But I don't know what meal plan I should do. Do I still do the one where you say to eat raw veggies before I eat, and whey protein shakes? Also are Nutivia Hemp Shakes okay? I have less than 20 lbs to lose so thats why I am needing help. I am 20 years old, female, 5'3-4, and weigh 112 lbs. I want to be 102 by Mid may. haha. I am going on a trip!

I could use your help!

Thank you!
