In your case - would focus on gaining muscle first

Adrian Bryant | 07.23.09 - 10:28 am

5'6-157 lbs. it says i should eat around 1700 calories but do intervals twice a day. I'd like to put on a bit of muscle but ultimatley get cut. I fell like this would make me lose weight but would make my flabby in that there's no way to build muscle getting nutrition out of about 1000 calories a day right? I have to work out around 7 as well and have to eat dinner before. Should I eat something after i run and lift at night?

Well...

Losing weight probably won't help you so...

Try these inner thigh exercises

Adrian Bryant | 07.20.09 - 3:34 pm

Hi,

I was wondering what I can do to thin out my legs. I used to have thin and toned legs and now that I have been running more, they have become bulky. Is there a way I can thin them back out? I am 5'4 and 105-107 pounds so bulky legs make me look shorter. Thanks.I appreciate your help.

You're on the right track and since you are not really overweight - it's going to take longer than 10 days to lose your last 10 pounds but keep it the good work and you unwanted fat will go away

Adrian Bryant | 07.20.09 - 3:33 pm

I've been following your tips and plans and Im working on my last 10-15 pounds. Im currently in Asia where it's very hot and where I eat less. I thought I was gonna lose my last 10 pounds here just because of the heat and smaller amounts of food. But I only lost like 3 pounds. Any tips on how to lose weight in a place where you don't have the same foods available as in our countries? Im staying for 10 more days.

Plus...
I just want to ask you how can I lose the fat (9 inches) on my arms? I've been working out but I can't get my skinny arms back. Isn't there anyway? I've considered lipo.


Thanks for all your help.

Melani | 07.19.09 - 6:38 pm

well..i am 15 n 8 months old n 182 cm tall.please don't suggest me not to do this coz ive been desperate to try something on.this ugly fat never goes off my arms (they r loose).i want to renewate my whole body with muscles n extremely less fat like athletes ...so

sheridan dx | 07.20.09 - 10:49 am

sheridan dx

Losing 10 pounds my not be neccesary for you

Adrian Bryant | 07.19.09 - 12:01 pm

so...i am a school goin guy.now i am really determined to shape up myself.im abt 144 lb n 182 cm so i guess thats not overweight.ive read here abt many ppl who r not overweight but just a lil out of shape like me.

so...im goin to begin with your home workout coz its fitting with my schedule.i have to workout at 5 in the morn n around 5.30 in the eve.then at 6 i'll be goin for soccer practice.

so according to u if i do that home workout for 35-40min n some lil sprints at 6 how quickly will i lose weight-(10 lb).will it take 4 weeks?6 or 8 weeks or more.pls tell me in average figures.
thanx for this site

sheridan dx | 07.19.09 - 4:51 am

carlos

Either way will work fine and it's best to use the one that best fits your schedule

Adrian Bryant | 07.18.09 - 10:15 pm

Should i do the separate 3-4 10 min workouts on mondays, tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays or should i do the two 30-45 min workouts in the mornings and evenings?

Which way is more effective for faster fat loss and muscle maintaining?

carlos | 07.17.09 - 10:08 pm

Sue

You probably need more toning than losing fat so look at these inner thigh exercises here

Adrian Bryant | 07.18.09 - 10:16 pm

Basically...

You just need to follow the plan as is at NowLoss.com/15 and eat a more variety foods (see NowLoss.com/199)

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 7:54 pm

Hi, I'm 15 and weigh 139 and am 5'1...and I want to try and lose (even tho i probably wont) 10 pounds in 40 days, but is that even possible for me to lose 10 pounds in 40 days?

cause what I'm gonna do to "LOSE" weight is exercise 30-45 minutes in the morning and evening and only eat fruits and vegetables and water... but I'm not sure if by doing that I'll lose my 10 pounds in 40 dayss.....

so..i need like other options or at least like tell me if that will work or not??


please and thank you

jenny | 07.12.09 - 12:36 am

I would stick with the 1200+ calories and I dont think you are in survival mode...

When I lost my last few pounds of fat - it was more because of my exercise and the trick is...

You gotta keep changing up your rotuines to keep them intense so the fat will easily come off

Adrian Bryant | 07.08.09 - 8:27 pm

It looks like im going to lose my bet. Which sucks. But oh well.

On the upside, I think i realized what i'm doing wrong.

Ive been eating around 1200-1300 calories a day. However, if i subtract my calories burned then some days i only ended up with 900 calories and other days 600. And each of my cheat days my weight went up IMMEDIATELY and I am still hovering at 138 lbs after about four weeks.

Ive been doing jump rope intervals, hill intervals, the weight loss workouts, jump rope intervals mixed with calisthenics intervals. I tried to mix things up like you said. Today i even tried sprints, which i hate with an everlasting passion. I have not worked out twice every day, maybe half the days. The other days I did not work out twice because I had no energy. Still, i would of thought i would have lost more than two lbs.

Anyways, do you think I am correct in thinking that i put my body in survival mode? Is eating about 1450-1500 calories a day a better plan for me?

Also, my body seems to build muscle pretty quickly. I bought whey protein powder so i could get enough protein because buying that much meat would be too expensive for me. I thought maybe that would help.

Pick one of the weight loss diet & EXERCISE plans here and you don't exactly need protein shakes...

eat other protein sources from NowLoss.com/199

Adrian Bryant | 07.06.09 - 2:52 pm

What kind of diet do I need to follow? I cannot do the protein drinks. What else do you suggest?

Lindsey | 07.05.09 - 7:58 pm

have 26g protein and 1 veggie with EACH MEAL

Adrian Bryant | 07.04.09 - 1:57 pm

Hello,

Question, when i type in my weight it tells me that i should have up to 26 gm of protein and one vegetable with each of my meals.

Does that mean 26 gm of protein with each meal or 26 gm of protein in a day and one vegetable with each meal?

Thanks for all the info!

You can use the elliptical and it will not make your legs any smaller unless there is a lot of fat around your legs and in that case they will get smaller as you lose leg fat

Adrian Bryant | 07.01.09 - 10:22 pm

I just purchased an a elliptical the only thing is I am a lil confused bout useing it cuz. I wanna keep my butt and legs thick but still need to do cardio right? How much should I use it and for how long? And will itmake my legs and butt smaller

Although diet is important - losing your lAST BIT OF belly fat is more about doing high intensity exercises like intervals 3x A week - see NowLoss.com/i

Hi Adrian i'm 15 years old at exactly 10stone just under a year ago i weighed 13 stone and joined a gym i also cut my calorie intake down i lost 3stone and have gotten bigger in my arms and chest ETC due to using the weights but i still have a belly wich is fat and it's annoying as i've been doing ab exercises and have a good 6-pac down there wich is being covered any tips on how i could lose this stubborn belly fat

You can try more than 4 times a week but truthfully...

If you can do more than 4 times a week then that means your workouts aren't intense enough

Adrian Bryant | 06.30.09 - 10:17 pm

hello ..u've suggested to do it 4 times a week. but i need really fast results ..so i dont wanna skip Wednesday.IS IT OK .i just have a lil stubborn fat(gotta lose 10+ lb) in my lower body n abdomen so im not gettin the results quick...now i have got only 8 WEEKS..yea just 8 weeks .please suggest me how hard n what i should try to get the results in 8 weeks (after 8 weeks i would be having my school tests)n maintain it for ever .bcoz i never get rid of this ugly fat.maybe im not doin intense workout.please don't worry about the intensity ..im a confident guy n I'll do whatever it takes.sorry for anything u didnt appreciate.

seth | 06.29.09 - 3:18 am

Catherine

#1 - the muscle you gained will make you look slimmer so you probably should have bet your boyfriend you would look better with a lower body fat & LOL and...

#2 in your case as with anybody else trying to lose last bits of fat - you need to increase intensity before adding MORE STUFF so...

#3 for your hill sprints - you can run faster up the hills or run up a longer hill or better yet...

#4 - stop doing the hills and do a different interval workout all together but...

make sure whatever different interval you do is more intense than the hill sprints.

You can try adding the jump rope but i think in my own personal experience of losing my last few pounds of fat...

I always lost fat doing a differnet more intense routine or increasing the intensity of what I'm already doing instead of adding more low intensity stuff

Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 6:04 pm

Ok,

I've been doing this weight loss program for two weeks and my weight is hovering in between 138 and 140 lbs.

I bet my boyfriend $400 that i could get down to 130 lbs by July 18th. I did not realize then how hard it was going to be to lose that last ten lbs.

I am going to continue doing this weight loss plan but i want to add two hours of jump rope per day. one before lunch and one at night. I will do intervals in the morning before breakfast.

My question is, is this dangerous? Is it too much to expect of my body? I do not want to get injured and not be able to work out at all.

P.S. Ive been doing the hill intervals. They really work! My legs are really toning up. I would think that my lack of weight loss is just added muscle from that but i have not lost an inch from my waist. I'm really ready to get serious and be done with these last ten lbs.

Catherine | 06.28.09 - 5:14 pm

jim

Take the lowest measurement

Adrian Bryant | 06.28.09 - 5:11 pm

I measured at the navel this morning before breakfast and it said 32 inches. 3 small meals later around 4:00 I measured again and it said 33 inches. Which one is goin to be my real waist size so i know what my bf% is?

jim | 06.27.09 - 10:39 am

Catherine

always shoot for lower body fat % BUT YES...

it takes time to lose that last bit of belly fat and...

you can also go to NowLoss.com/flat to help speed up the process

Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 8:47 pm

Hey,

I am getting so much information from your site. Thanks so much!

I am 140 lbs, 5'7". My waist measurement at my navel is about 32". at its smallest point it is 28" My body has always stored fat in my abdomen. I desperately want a flat stomach.

I am doing the lose ten lbs in forty days program on your site. Seems to be working. I think I'll lose the ten lbs, but not sure if my stomach will be flat even after that.

My first question is, in your experience, how long does it normally take for someone similar to me in weight and height, who stores fat in their abdomen, to get a flat stomach?

I read on your site that women need 14% body fat to have a flat stomach. Is this true even if i store fat in my abdomen? Should i shoot for a lower body fat percentage?

Thanks again!

Ever since last year I have been trying to lose weight. So far I have lost ZERO pounds. Since its summer time I have some free time to lose all my flub. Do you think you could give me a customized diet plan? How long do you thik it would take to lose 10-15 pounds on that diet plan or just in general? I've been thinking of trying the cabbage soup diet? But i heard after your done with it you gain back all the weight you lost and maybe even more because all your losing is water weight? please, please help me. I'd really appriciate it

xoxtiaaox@aim.com | 06.24.09 - 5:03 pm

Doing the home weight loss workout twice a day is fine but...

Instead of increasing the time increase the intensity by running a longer distance between cones or running faster so you realy want to keep your workouts to a short but very intense 10-to-40 minutes

Adrian Bryant | 06.21.09 - 6:51 pm

hi
nice stuff here
well i have read a lot of things here.
i want to do the home weight loss workout..coz it fits daily routine .im 15 n not overweight..but im tired of comments said about me.hope u understand that ..its really embarrassing.
can i do the workout twice a day n 5 times a week?
n should i begin with 30-40 min for two weeks .i will increase it every 2 weeks.so after 2 weeks ill be doin for 50 min twice a day n so on...OR shud i directly do it for 50+ min till i reach my goal

ssmith | 06.21.09 - 4:52 am

Thorton

Yes - you can still maintain most of your muscle.

Muscle loss comes more from inactivity

Adrian Bryant | 06.19.09 - 8:23 pm

Would I still maintain muscle if i don't eat the required grams protein per meal?

I don't know any 200-300 calorie meals besides protein bars and shakes

Thorton | 06.19.09 - 3:37 pm

anonymous

Yes you can do that

Adrian Bryant | 06.19.09 - 10:16 am

Hey can i do a couple ab exercises on Wednesdays(day off from workout) to build up my six pack? I was thinking of doin hanging leg raises and reverse sit-ups

anonymous | 06.18.09 - 6:25 pm

Luke

It doesn't matter when you do your workout - you'll still pretty much get the same results but if you need the energy...

You may want to workout 1-to-2 hours after your meal

Adrian Bryant | 06.18.09 - 3:42 pm

Thanks Adrian..and should I do the second workout after my last meal to burn more calories?

luke | 06.18.09 - 1:59 pm

luke

Yes - but it's better to have 5 smaller meals - go here to see why

Adrian Bryant | 06.18.09 - 1:01 pm

can I have 3 or 4 bigger meals instead of 5 smaller ones?

luke | 06.18.09 - 11:50 am

anthony

you can but it's best that you try to do b-ball just on Wednesday, Saturday & Sunday

Adrian Bryant | 06.17.09 - 9:54 pm

Can I play basketball on these days too?

anthony | 06.17.09 - 9:06 pm

cruise

You could but you really don't need to if you're doing the fast weight loss workouts since they work the same muscles that pullups work

Adrian Bryant | 06.17.09 - 10:12 pm

I was thinking of doing the fast weight loss workouts in the mornings and evenings.

But can I add a pull up workout somewhere in between or should I just wait until I burn off the fat?

cruise | 06.17.09 - 7:58 pm

craig

Well, of course the drinking (beer) will slow down your progress and...

fat burners help by giving you an extra boost of energy during workouts to make you workout more intense plus...

some fat burners have caffeine + green tea in them that help you burn extra fat while working out and

the plan will still work even though you are drinking and only doing intervals once a day but don't expect any quick or overnight results at your pace

Adrian Bryant | 06.16.09 - 7:19 pm

I could follow this plan nearly perfectly besides 2 things. I cannot wake up early enough (I already get up at 5) to do intervals or anything in the morning. I can do them at night though. Also I eat very healthy but i drink 3 nights a week which isn't going to stop. Will this plan still work? Also, i know you reccomend fat burners, im just curious about them since they get so much negative things said about them all over. Do they actually help or do anything or is hydroxycut, for example, just another scam?

Thanks

craig | 06.16.09 - 6:16 pm

Thanks Adrian! i'm going to try the hill interval training along with watching what i eat.

Joanna | 06.14.09 - 9:59 pm

See NowLoss.com/abs

Any 1-to-2 days you choose

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:42 am

On what days are you suppose to do ab exercises while on this program?

roger | 06.13.09 - 5:07 pm

Belen

Drinking green tea is fine

You dont have to use whey - you have another 100 calorie protein source like a can of tuna (or other protien sources from NowLoss.com/199) and..

Jumping rope is a good workout

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:42 am

I'm barely 20 pounds overweight. I want to do your lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks, but would I still be able to do that if I didn't a fat burner with green tea but just drank green tea two times a day? And is there other ways to get protein every time before my 4 meals? thank you.

Oh, and is doing jump rope considered a high intensity work out? If it is how long and fast would I have to do it for?

Belen | 06.12.09 - 9:04 pm

unknown

Simple math.

If you're 18% at 150 pounds then that means you have 27 pounds of fat so...

If you lost 10 pure pounds of fat you would be 140 pounds with 17 pounds of fat meaning...

Your bodyfat % would be 12% or 17 pounds of fat divided by 140 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:40 am

Thanks Adrian but how did you figure out it would be 12%?

unknown | 06.12.09 - 7:20 pm

unknown

NO...

You need to only lose fat.

You can gain 20 pounds of muscle for example while losing 5 pounds of fat to make your body fat percentage go down but...

If you did the math and lost 10 pounds of fat then you be at 12% bodyfat

Adrian Bryant | 06.12.09 - 6:22 pm

Im 5"9 150lbs. Ive gained some muscle and now want to get my bodyfat% down to like 6 or 7%. My bodyfat% now is about 18%. How many pounds will I have to lose to reach my goal?

How low would it be if I lost 10lbs?

And is there a way to figure out how many pounds of fat you have to lose to reach your goal body fat %?

unknown | 06.12.09 - 3:58 pm

Okay thanks a lot Adrian

kenny | 06.09.09 - 8:26 pm

kenny

Yes - it'll maintain your muscle and the workouts (like fast weight loss workouts #1 & 2) may help build some muscle

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:14 pm

Will this workout maintain muscle also or should I add a workout during the week?

kenny | 06.09.09 - 2:52 pm

sarai.

You need to do NowLoss.com/15 but...

Since everybody loses weight in different places at different times I can't promise you'll lose weight only in belly and not butt and if you do lose weight in your butt as you lose belly fat...

you can go here to get your butt back

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:55 pm

hi adrian,, this my frist time writting to you..although i've been reading and checking out your videos on youtube..and i want to say thank you soo much for helping me and all of those people..your a very good person ..

sarai.. | 06.07.09 - 12:20 am

Kevin

Here's the point...

The more intense your workout is = the more fat you will burn so...

If you do your intervals correctly - then your interval of walking or complety resting for 30-to-90 seconds & running as fast as you can for 10-to-30 seconds should be harder or more intense than running for 15min straight.

Adrian Bryant | 06.07.09 - 9:52 pm

Adrian,

I'm wondering isn't it more effective to simply run fast for 15 mins without stopping or slow walking than doing a 15 mins running interval?

Kevin | 06.06.09 - 11:26 pm

Yes

Hill sprints will help firm up butt and lose ab flab and...

The green tea pills will help but I think rather you take them or not you'll still lose last 7 pounds in about the same amount of time with or without the green tea

Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 6:08 pm

Hi Adrian,

This is Anita again. Just to refresh you my info. I'm 31 yrs old, 5'3, now 117 lbs (already lost 6 lb in 24 days!).

I plan to lose about 7 more pounds. I understand that these last few pounds might take longer. I drink about 2 cups of green tea everyday, but will eating "Green Tea Fat Metabolizer by Irwin Naturals" speed up my progress more?

Thanks.

Anita | 06.06.09 - 9:47 am

Dug

No - so far so good

If you are not getting hungry then also good but if you are...

You can probably increase your calorie intake to 1500-to-2000 calories for 2 days during the week but still eat the right foods of course

Adrian Bryant | 06.06.09 - 5:54 pm

Hi Adrian-
Here's my 4 week update:

Did the fast weight loss#1 for all the 4 weeks. I will be switching to a different routine starting next week.

Eating five times, 1200 to 1400 cal, 2 raw veg or fruit before each meal, and introduced whey protein isolate a few days ago. I am drinking a lot of hot green tea.

Got, maybe a couple of inches of belly fat and some flab on mid to lower back. And the love hanldes are reducing but still visible- especially when I bend sideways.

Good progress so far.

Adrian, please let me know if I need to change anything.

YES - no bad foods and not even the 0 calorie soda See fast weight loss tip #29 here for why.

The closer you are to your weight loss goal and/or the more leaner you are (like you are) - the less you can cheat because it takes longer to lose weight as you get closer to your goal plus your body fights against you and does not want you to be that lean

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 10:17 pm

Hi, im a about 5 feet tall, and currently 118 pounds I really want to get to 108 pounds by july 12th. I just found this page today and will get right on the diet. Im hoping it works. Can I drink A zero calorie soda every once in a while? When you say stay away from bad foods, you mean absolutly no desert, say no icecream or fudgsicles, even if you stay within your daily or per meal calorie limit?

mary | 06.01.09 - 10:11 pm

Angel,

#1 - how are you checking body fat? most body fat test are not accuarte

#2 - Since you are not overweight - your best bet may be to gain muscle to improve overall body fat %

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 4:18 pm

Hey you helped me a lot. i started working out in 4/1/2009 and now in june/1/2009 i went from 172lbs to 159lbs. i am male 5'-6" 38 years old. started to set my goal at 140 but i think by looking at myself now i should be 150. my bodyfat is 21.5% 3 weeks ago it was 19% what happened? how can i reduce my body fat to 14%. that is my new goal.

Your bodyfat scale is obivously way off!?

It's probably lower than that! with your weight and height

The most accurate way to have body fat tested is to have a caliper test and those commerical body fat scales are not accurate but back to your question...

Both the intervals and weight lifting you do are worth it.

the intervals burn fat and the weights will help you look better and any muscle you build or gain from weights will make you look slimmer even though you gained muscle weight + when you gain muscle your body fat % goes down

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 9:14 pm

Hi Adrain,
I'm 31 yrs old, 5'3, 119 lbs (i was 123 lbs and lost 4 lbs in 16 days by following your lose 10 lb in 40 days plan and i'm very happy about that!). I'm doing running, jumping rope intervel and also weight lifting class at the gym. According to my own heart rate monitor, i burned about 100 calories in doing 15 mins intervels. However, i can only burn 220 calorie in a 60 mins weight lifting class. Do you think it's still worth to spend time doing the weight lifting given that i can burn more calorie in much less time on doing intervels? I just purchased a body fat monitor and my fat % is 28.9 which means i still have alot of fat to burn even though i'm considered in a healthy range of my weight and height. Thank you!

It may?

It all depends on how much you weigh and these other weight loss factors here

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 8:53 am

i'm trying to lose my last 10 pounds. i'm eating around 1500-1750 cls a day, biking 80 minutes a day 7 days a week, and 3 weight lifting exercise days. do you think this will work to lose 10 pounds in one month? trying to get off the last bit of stomach fat. ottawasitar@yahoo.ca

Fruits are good but veggies are better in MY opinion but that does not mean fruits will work

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:53 pm

Could you use raw fruits, such as apples or bananas? Or will only vegetables work?

Thanks

jerry | 05.25.09 - 2:34 pm

Po Yee,

It'll only help you lose more water weight temporarily which you'll gain back very quickly

Adrian Bryant | 05.23.09 - 6:33 pm

Adrian, I heard that wearing a solar belt during workout will help trim the waist by using natural body heat to increase perspiration, is that true? Should i get one?

Po Yee | 05.23.09 - 4:07 pm

You wont lose that much FAT in 10 days unless you are already overweight.

The best way to prep for your photo shoot over the next 10 days is to...

1. go to NowLoss.com/abs and do that workout 2 times over the next ten days

2. Go on the fat loss plan at NowLoss.com/15 for 10 days

3. Drink lots of water to flush out water weight

4. You can increase your protein and healthy fat intake while lowering carbs and/or limiting your carbs to mostly eating as many raw veggies as you like

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 10:06 pm

Hi how can i loose about 5 lbs of belly fat in ten days...im prepared to do the most advances intense workouts im just not sure wat to do...i have a photo shoot on the june 5th and ive bought dietary supplements and protein shakes...and have been eating fish and fruit all meals.. i just need to loose it in my belly area.. i would greatly appriciate it if you could help me..

Roddy1485@tmail.com | 05.22.09 - 5:14 pm

Anita

the schddule is fine but...

Only do this routine no more than 4 times a week and the other days you can do regualr light intensity workouts like walking at a slow pace

Adrian bryant | 05.21.09 - 3:12 pm

Adrian, Thanks for the advice. Here is my new workout schedule, please let me know if this sounds good or if there's anything that need to be changed or improved the time.

9am-10 mins intervel
9:15-breakfast
11:30am-10 mins intervel
2:30pm-10 mins intervel
7pm-30 mins evening intervel
12:30am-sleep

Anita | 05.21.09 - 10:09 am

Anita,

If you have time then YES...

You want to do about 3-to-5 MINI workouts spread out throughout the day but those mini workouts need to be real intense like the intervals you are doing but if you don't have time...

Doing the morning and evening intervals like you do is fine and as far as your weight flucuations during the day...

Everybody's weight goes up and down during the day and me personally...

i keep track of how much I weight in the morning.

I also drink about 1-to-2 gallons of water a day which can make me add 2-to-5 pounds during the day but that little gain in weight isn't noticable at all because my diet is clean preventing me from getting bloated

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.09 - 8:43 am

Hi Adrian,
I've been following the lose 10 lb in 40 days plan doing intervel in the morning and evening. I do intervel on the treadmill in the morning for 30 minutes. Then today i saw your 31 Fast Weight Loss Tips #1, it said you can actually lose more weight & keep your metabolism fired up longer by doing 3-to-4 shorter 10-minute workouts instead of 1 big 30-to-40-minute cardio workout. If that's the case, is that mean i'll be doing the treadmill intervel for 10 mins, then doing another 10 mins 2 hrs later (according to your workout at home video)? Another thing is i weight 120.6 lb right after wake up, then gradually increase in a few hrs or after a meal and end up to 123.5 lb by the end of the day, then it return back to 120 the next morning again. So what is my actual weight then? Thanks.

Anita | 05.20.09 - 10:51 am

Hi Adrian-
This is Dug again. Wanted to give you a quick update. It's been one week on your Fast Weight Loss Plan #1 (2 sets, only once a day in the AM) so far, and I dropped 2.5 lb. I might be dropping too fast...but a good problem to have. Hope I am not losing muscle though.

My body fat analyzer scale went from 12.5 to 11.5 (this may not be accurate because I truly believe I have more fat than that).

Eating five times, 1200 to 1400 cal, 2 raw veg or fruit before each meal, but I am not sure if I am getting 30% protein. I am drinking a lot of hot green tea. Will start taking protein shakes but will wait until I drop another 4- 5 lbs.

My left wrist started hurting a bit after the second day of Ab Crawl. So I taped it up today and it was fine.

Date: 5/17/09
Male; Age: 39 Height: 5'9"

Current weight: 156.5
BF%: 11.5 (on my scale)
Waist: 31.5

Dug | 05.17.09 - 12:20 pm

Laurie,

How many times a day are you eating?

YEs - you could try 1300-to-1600 calories to see if you get any results but also remember this...

You have to be patient with your weight loss b/c weight loss at your weight & height will be slower

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 11:03 pm

Hello, I used this page to start my diet but I can't stick to eating 1100-1300 calories a day. I always get hungry and I always break my diet when I come back from school(its cause im tired and hungry). I try to eat a lot of proten, and fiber and I drink 16 ounces of water and im still hungry. I can't believe I do everything I can to stop this hunger and it wont work at all. Btw I even take multivitamins a day. For someone who is 5'5" and 125 pounds, can I eat 1,600 calories to lose weight with exercise 5-6x a week? Or do I have to lower the calories? Also, why am I always hungry when I eat more protein and everything I tried to do than I used to?

Laurie | 05.14.09 - 6:15 pm

terry,

At your height and weight - you can just go here to sculpt your legs

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 11:00 pm

hi
i want to sculpt my legs coz the rest of my body is ok i weigh about 134 pounds and im 6'tall ..ive learnt that i would have to lose a significant amount of weight to burn the fat in my lower legs..is it true?
n so maybe ive to burn about 10-12 pounds of weight..but i don't have much time about jus 50 days .pls help
thnx a lot

terry | 05.13.09 - 5:53 am

Dug,

Yes - you can get the results you want doing those workouts 3-4 times a week and also...

models take about 12-to-16 weeks to look their best so your time frame is realistic

Adrian Bryant | 05.11.09 - 9:49 pm

Hello Adrian-
Congrats on a real cool, unique and no BS website.

I am male, 39, 5'9", 159. I am in a decent shape, I guess. But I want to get my body fat down to under 10%
and get a six pack abs. I am probably between 13 and 15% body fat now.
Upper body is my problem area (small love handles, belly fat , chest and back)
I had previously done Basic Tae Bo Boot Camp and had some real good results.

In my pursuit of a six pack abs, I just started on your Fast Weight Loss Plan #1 (only once a day though). I was able to complete
it with 1 or 2 minute rest between each exercise. I already eat well and 5 small healthy meals
a day is not a problem.

Do you think alternating between your fast weight loss#1, fast weight loss #2 and Tae Bo will get me my desired results?
I do not have access to a gym and do not intend to join one. I want to achieve my goal
in 8 - 12 weeks. Is that realistic for me? Really appreciate your guidance here.

Thanks
Dug

Dug | 05.11.09 - 3:42 pm

Anita,

You should only spend 3-to-4 days a week doing high intensity activies so don't them 8 times in 6 days

You'll lose weight faster working out twice a day but you'll still lose weight working out once a day and...

If you are sore - listen to your body and take those days off from intense training and do lighter but longer weight loss activiites like walking at a slow pace for 60 minutes

Adrian Bryant | 05.11.09 - 8:43 pm

Hi Adrian,
I'm starting my goal to lose my last 10 lbs in 40 days following your guidelines doing the intervals workout of 4 times a week, twice a day.

But sometimes i think it's hard to do twice a day. If i spread 8 workout to 6 days, will the result the same?

Also, since i'm doing high intensity workout like running fast and weight lifting, my muscle get sore the next day and usually takes about 2-3 days the pain will go away. If that's the case, during the 2 days with pain, i really can't do much. Is there a solution?

Thanks so much.
Anita

My parents keep telling me that I'm gaining weight this makes me upset and I'm getting discourage how can I not let others people comments influence me negatively.

Nikki | 05.07.09 - 12:25 am

cs,

No you can substitute protein for the other protein sources at NowLoss.com/199

Adrian Bryant | 05.04.09 - 5:03 pm

Do I have to use whey protein or soy can I substitute it for anything else.

cs | 05.04.09 - 2:20 pm

Laurie,

You just basically need to follow the plan on this page here at NowLoss.com/15 which will have you eating less at a range of about 1100-to-1300 calories to lose weight and it tells you how to workout also

Adrian Bryant | 05.04.09 - 5:02 pm

Im 5'5 123 pounds and I currently exercise everday and im having a problem with my diet. I started a diet a month ago, so I only ate 1,200 calories and I lost 4 pounds,so I was 121 pounds. The exercises I did were squats, and crunches only for 10 mins each 3-4 times a day. Now I eat 1,300 calories each day and I never seem to be full( i go way over 1,300 calories but I make up for it by exercising for a really long time). I gained 2 pounds from this. I exercise more than 40 mins on the eliptical machine and treadmil. I've tried to eat more raw nuts, vegetables, fruits, and protein. Also, I tried to drink milk twice a day with 16 ounces of water with each meal I eat. What can I do? I dont seem to be losing weight even though I exercise harder and every single day after that first month, I can't stick to my 5 meal diet. I can't even stick to the 6 meal diet either when I increased how much water I drank a day by about 32 ounces. I want to know if I should start my diet all over and stop exercising hard and eat less. If thats the case, how many times aa week do I exercise and how many calories??

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 8:22 am

I'm 5'7" and I used to weigh about 180lbs. For the past 4 months I've been trying to lose weight; at first I lost 20lbs. extremely quickly. I lost another 5lbs. and now I weigh 155lbs. I would like to lose another 20lbs. but my problem is that it seems like I've stopped losing weight. I usually don't have the time to exercise but I do watch what I eat and I drink a lot of water and green tea. I'm worried that I'm not really losing fat because my waist hasn't really shrunk any; although, my pants do fit more loosly and I have gone down a size im shirts. Could you please help me?

Danielle | 04.26.09 - 12:07 am

Tamara,

YES! - limit sugar and salt intake if you can because you need to be very strict in your diet when trying to lose last 10 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 8:21 am

If I am on a 1200 calorie diet does the sugar intake really matter as long as i stay within my calorie limit and don't get too high on fat?

I drink a lot of water, eat about 1,200 to 1,400 cal. a day, walk for 30-40 min. 5x a week and do 30 minutes cardio 4 to 5x a week.

thanks a lot.

I haven't been able to lose anything in three months. I also have terrible cravings late at night!! Help!! I want to lose 13 more lbs.

#1 - you are not overweight so that already means it's going to take longer (and I don't know how long that's going to be) and...

#2 - you can check your body fat percentage here and if it's high - then maybe you'll lose fat/weight faster but...

If it's below 20% - then it will take a longer time for you to lose 15 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 10:38 am

I am extremely athletic, high intense workouts. I'm 5'10" 155 lbs 18 years old. I am very strong, and have been lifting since age 14. I eat pretty good but am now wanting to get down to 140. I'm wondering what is a good timeline if I'm going to be running every morning and eating extremely healthy

Anonymous | 04.04.09 - 9:25 pm

Adrian,
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoy your website and your videos very imformative and helpful! I am getting my heartrate up to 150-165 and maintaining that for 90% of the workout so I would say pretty intense...mostly I run or do elliptical,plyometrics and yoga for cardio,I do everything from push ups,pull ups,weight machines and free weights for resistance. I will try your tips and come back if I need more help!

Jessica | 03.28.09 - 11:34 pm

Jessica,

it depends on how intense you workout but...

I would do moderate-to-high intensity workouts 3-to-4 times a week and you can do low-to-moderate workouts everyday and/or do them on the days you don't do high intensity workouts

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.28.09 - 7:16 pm

Adrian Bryant | 03.19.09 - 5:42 pm

Hi,I'm a 31 yr old female, 5'4, 125lbs. I want to lose at least 10 pounds...whats the best cardio...how much time and how many times a week should I do cardio?

How many calories should I be eating a day?

Thanks

Luigi | 03.19.09 - 2:43 pm

mimi,

Yes - it's possibile but just not likely - go here to see why

Adrian Bryant | 03.19.09 - 5:42 pm

is it possible,or even a good idea,for someone to lose 2 pounds a week if theyre only 10 pounds overweight?

mimi | 03.19.09 - 10:11 am

Ashley,

Any soy or any type of protein is fine and...

I wouldn't use the lipton green tea and you losing 10 pounds is more about diet and exercise and less about lipton green tea and supplements

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.18.09 - 9:02 pm

Hey Adrain!
I think your website is great and I cant wait to start on the diet. I am 5'1 and 116 pounds. I would like to lose 10-12 pounds.
I was wondering...
does any soy protein powder works and does it matter what flavor it is?
if i dont use a fatburner but drink Lipton green tea with a supplement pill, will I still be able to lose weight in less than 40 days?
THANKS!!!

Ashley | 03.18.09 - 4:48 pm

alicia,

Congrats!!!

See why it takes longer to lose last few pounds but basically...

To lose those last stubborn pounds = stricter dieting and more intense exercise like intervals (see NowLoss.com/i) and also...

Look at numbers 1-thru-5 here for exercise but actually in your case...

I think you weight now is fine and if you want to improve your self-perceived body image...

I would do more toning exercises here instead of trying to lose more weight and like I said...

In your case - weight loss is going to be real slow due to the fact you don't really have too much weight to lose and all that flab you talked about can probably be firmed up with some toning

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.15.09 - 2:23 pm

Oi, just doing a check up, and I need a bit more advice. When I last came to you a few months ago- I was at my still-current height of 4'10 (even though I'm almost 17) and I weighed 122 pounds, which sometimes switched about to 126, 123, 120, the works. I'd like you to know that I've gotten down to my original goal weight of 110!!! And I'd like to say thank you, because your advice helped a lot. ;P But here's the thing. I still feel just bit bloated. The same goes for my inner thighs. >__< My stomach is still a little flabby-ish, which I can understand because I haven't really done any toning/weight training exercises. Just a lot of walking and running lately. Also, my food choices have changed for the better but I know that there are better selections I could have/can make. So yeah, my newest question is this: just what exactly will help me get to my final goal weight of 103? I know it seems like a small number, but if you were to see my body type, you'd understand. lol I really feel like I'm getting close to my final weight- but I'm all out of ideas. Note, I can only run, swim occasionally when I get the chance and do simple things like jumping jacks, rope, and such because I don't have access to a gym. n__n; Help por favor??

alicia:D | 03.13.09 - 11:37 pm

lacey,

See NowLoss.com/15 and YES...

You need to do more intervals instead of regular cardio

Adrian Bryant | 03.12.09 - 8:59 pm

I'm 21, 5'4 and 120. I started doing 30 minutes of cardio about 4 days a week, running at 5 mph.

Its been 2 months and i haven't lost any weight! my body feels slightly more muscular, but i haven't really lost any inches. In fact my thighs feel bulkier than before. I eat about 1200 cals/day. I'd like to get down to 110, which is what i weighed 3 years ago.

Do you have any tips for people who are already at a low weight? Also, is it better to take breaks during cardio or do the whole workout at once? thanks

lacey | 03.12.09 - 3:25 pm

sandra,

Good job - YOU DID IT - only 10 pounds to go and to answer your ?...

Look at steps 2-thru-5 here

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.12.09 - 9:45 am

hi adrian, with your help through this website, i have managed to lose 46 pounds. thank u very much! i currently weigh 128 and would like to lose about 12-14 pounds more. im considering to do 'how to lose your last 10 pounds in 40 days' weight lose program, but i also want to tone my entire body (flat tummy, tinner thighs, thinner arms), so should i incorporate toning exercises as well? and if yes which 1's and how many reps?

sandra | 03.12.09 - 6:46 am

Regina,

It's not exactly "healthy weight" you should worry about but...

Worry about what weight makes you most happy & comfortable but...

You can look at this height/weight chart here

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.09 - 4:42 pm

Hi Adrian,
I love your advice. I am 45 and weigh about 160 lbs. I recently lost 7 lbs cutting dairy (lactose intolerant), most white flour and white sugar. I'm working on losing another 10 or so. I just took my measurements and am kinda stressed with hips at 41 inches and waist at 34.5. At 5'5'', what is an ideal healthy weight to aim for? I work out regularly 4-5 days a week doing cardio and circuit training.

Thanks Much!

Regina | 03.09.09 - 10:59 pm

Nikki,

Whatever you do to lose those last 10 pounds will take time because of your low weight but it's going to take longer without exercise and I highly recommend you do find time to exercise so...

I still think you need to do NowLoss.com/15 but just try to incorporate exercise as much as you can but don't just NOT EXERCISE at all and...

Go to NowLoss.com/flat to get flat abs and go here to tone thighs

Adrian Bryant | 03.08.09 - 5:54 pm

Hi. I would like some advice from you on how to lose my last 10 lbs.
Im currently 118 lbs and im 5'4. I used to be 130 and had lost those lbs. But I would like to lose about 8 more lbs to be 110 or 112. I don't mind which ever. I just want to flatten up my stomach and tone my thighs. It's very hard for me, because i have high school from 7-12 and then i go to beauty school until 10. I have no time to work out, which sucks. Sometimes i wake up at 430 to work out til 5ish then shower, i normally wake up at 5;30 to shower and get ready for school. I sleep at 12ish cause i have homework to do and studying and catching up with friends. So can you give me any advice how to get a flat stomach. tone legs? any food suggestion? i would love to achieve it by may 2009. thanks.

Nikki | 03.08.09 - 4:40 pm

Amber,

Go to NowLoss.com/199 to see the protein foods but cottage cheese & almonds are good and...

Tuna, chicken, lean meats and protein shakes / MRP's are the best sources

Adrian Bryant | 03.08.09 - 5:50 pm

What is the best way to incorporate appx. 30g of protein into each meal? i.e. what foods, how much, etc. Usually the foods I eat like cottage cheese or almonds don't have that many.

Amber | 03.08.09 - 4:34 pm

Anon | 03.05.09 - 2:56 pm

Anon,

Just do the plan at NowLoss.com/15 to lose your last bits of fat

Adrian Bryant | 03.05.09 - 4:26 pm

I workout 2x weekly with a trainer doing several strenght training along with 3x weekly kickboxing. I eat 6 meals daily of which one is whey proteing before workout. Why am I not losing.?

joan | 03.05.09 - 12:31 pm

Joan,

What's your weight & height and how many total calories are you eating a day?

Adrian Bryant | 03.05.09 - 4:26 pm

Sasha,
You don't have to workout in the morning - YOU do have to workout - but by not working out in the morning or twice a day you will of course probably lose weight at a slower rate and...

Go here to lose weight at home

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.05.09 - 7:45 am

Thanks for the diet plan on how to lose your last 10 pound, but the thing is i have no time in the morning to do the workout, is there any alternative, and how can i do the workout at home?
thanks
xx

Sasha | 03.04.09 - 8:24 pm

maggie,

If your goal is to lose weight then don't worry about pre & post meals.

The only thing you may want to worry some about is pre-workout meals about 1-to-2 hours before workout that have lots of complex carbs to give you energy for your cardio workout

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.02.09 - 11:23 am

when bodybuilders refer to making sure you have the correct pre and post workout meals..does that pertain to resistance training and cardio sessions or just resistance.

I do one hour resistance followed by 1 hr cardio when I awake then 45 min cardio after dinner. Not sure how to fit these pre/post meals in.

maggie | 03.02.09 - 9:45 am

Eliana;

YEs - anybody can use this plan to lose stubborn body fat

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.27.09 - 12:48 pm

just wandering Adrian, can a pear shape follow the above diet and cardio routine or after all she will remain a smaller size pear shape.

good bless you for helping us.

Eliana; | 02.26.09 - 10:01 pm

Bambi,

Yes - this will work but you need to understand this...

Losing your last 10 takes longer than losing your first 20 so be patient!

Adrian Bryant | 02.26.09 - 6:36 pm

Hi Adrian,

I'm 24 years old, 5'7 and 135 pounds. I just lost 15 pounds over the last 2 months, but I still have 10 more to go. Idealy, I would like to reach 125 by the end of the month. Will this plan allow me to do that, or is there something else you could suggest? I've been watching what I eat and doing cardio 3-5 times a week...it doesn't seem to be taking the weight off anymore though, just maintaining it.

Bambi | 02.26.09 - 5:08 pm

Julia,

For a good answer...

See "How can I Lose Weight, Get a flat stomach and a bigger butt all at the same time? "

Adrian Bryant | 02.26.09 - 6:34 pm

Hello. (I am 110.5 pounds in the morning and 113.5 in the evening. My body fat is 18%)I feel very sad about all this fat around the belly and arms and no waist anymore. I wish to go back to my 100 pounds weight as it suits me the best. I will be doing this cardio on M,Tu,Th, and Fridays. My question is if it's ok if I'll do Body sculpting exercises(weight training)couple days a week too(i want to grow butt)? Or is it better to start weight training AFTER I lose fat? Thank You. yuliafl@yahoo.com

Julia | 02.26.09 - 12:13 am

Sarah,

For the weekends - please look at how to cheat on your diet & still lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 02.26.09 - 6:32 pm

Thank you for your prior response. There isint a person i havent told to come to this site. Many thanks.
What i wanted to ask was, when the weekend approches, do i need to continue to the diet plan? Because i find when the weekend comes around i sleep most of the day. I dont eat during the day (hardly if anything) just usually a dinner with friends the saturday/sunday night. Can i have 4x 27g protein shakes (at 8am, 11am, 2pm, 5pm) and dinner? (not fatty foods) but the healthiest option on the menu? Your help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sarah | 02.25.09 - 9:29 pm

bianca,

Yes - this workout will help you lose overall body fat making you a smaller pear

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.25.09 - 8:52 am

Hello Adrian;
thanks for your great tips on loosing weight. i would like to follow the program with the 4 days a week cardio in the morning and evening. i am a pear shape though. is that the right one for my shape. would i look like a smaller pear by doing this?
thanks a lot,

bianca | 02.24.09 - 10:25 pm

Amiya,

Go to NowLoss.com/199 for types of foods you can eat

Since you're not trying to build any huge muscles - it really doesn't matter if you eat before or after working out

Adrian Bryant | 02.24.09 - 7:24 pm

hi adrian. thanks for answering me.
i want to know about the food i should eat, like what breakfasts should i eat. is oatmeal good? can i eat oatmeal with boiled egg for breakfast? or just oatmeal with milk, or boiled egg with milk? how bout for dinner? please give me a example of what food to eat throught the day in the 5 meal plan. I will start doing work out first thing in the mornin so should i eat breakfast first or not? i read its better to eat breakfast after working out so what should i eat? im scared of like eating oatmeal or egg or something and then gainin all the calories back. how about the small meals? im thinkin on eatin fruits and veggies. are carrots good to sculpt my body? or what will contribute to my work outs to sculpt my body? thanks a lot.

Amiya | 02.24.09 - 12:13 am

Amiya,

#1 - people are right - you don't need to lose weight and...

#2 - You can basically eat at least 1500 calories a day or 5 small 300 calorie meals a day to maintain your weight and...

#3 - Instead of focusing on how much you weigh - DO body sculpting exercises instead if you to have a more positive body image

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.23.09 - 10:31 am

Emily,

I don't have a weight loss activity calculator for hula hooping but...

The amount of weight you lose & how fast you lose it depends mainly on how much you weigh - See how fast you can lose weight

Adrian Bryant |02.17.09 - 7:46 pm

How many calories do I lose by doing hula-hoop excersize 20-25 min. every day? And how many pounds can I lose by doing hulahoop excersize?

Emily | 02.17.09 - 7:02 pm

Sarah,

Since you're not overweight - I recommend you do this weight loss plan here and that plan will also help with leg toning

Adrian Bryant | 02.17.09 - 5:26 pm
