DO NOT try to be perfect!!
Just take action
Just adjust the schedule to fit your needs
Adrian Bryant | 12.02.09 - 5:02 pm
those workout days are kinda inconvenient for me, so did you set them just as an example or for a reason. i know this is probably a dumb question but i just wanna make sure everything's perfect
thanks

You'd be better off losing weight or fat first before doing the J-lo workout
see How can I Lose Weight, get a flat stomach and a bigger butt at once? for why
Adrian Bryant | 11.28.09 - 3:45 pm
Hi Adrian I want to start your workout plan on Monday to lose my last 10 pounds fast
I also want to do the JLo butt workout. Should I do it twice a week for faster results and if so what days would be best to do them on? Thanks in advance

You should be able to eat up to 1500 calories a day at your weight without gaining any weight as long as you...
1. eat clean (see NowLoss.com/199) and
2. Do intervals at least 3x a week (see NowLoss.com/i)
Adrian Bryant | 09.29.09 - 11:16 pm
Adrian,
Your site has been a Godsend.. thank you! I am a model, 22 years, F, and currently 126 lbs. I have gone down from 133 lbs in the past 2 months by eating around 1,007 calories a day and playing DDR and walking, with a little weight training. My target weight is 120 and I can see it in the near future! My question is- once I reach my target weight, what is the best way to begin adding more calories in daily WITHOUT gaining any weight back? I obviously can't go on eating 1000 calories a day forever... I just want to make sure I add them back in the right way! Thanks!!!!

you are doing nothing wrong but tell me how much you weigh - you probably need to lose more fat along with going to NowLoss.com/abs
Adrian Bryant | 09.28.09 - 9:24 am
I have been walking at least 2 miles a day 5 days a week as well as weights 3 times a week for 5 months. I have not lost any weight. I realize that by lifting the weights, I am building muscle. My clothes do fit better in the hip area and below my chest but I really need to lose some inches in my tummy. I am 46 years old. Shoud I lay off the weights for a time and focus on power walking alone to do this?

See 14 ways to break out of weight loss plateau
Adrian Bryant | 09.07.09 - 7:34 am
Okay, so I'm 20 years old,vegan, 172 pounds, am 5'9", and managed to lose 10 pounds from july-august by dropping my calorie intake to 1500, jogging maybe once or twice a week, and biking every day for an hour.
I drink lots of water, eat 6 small meals a day, and eat a pretty balanced diet.
I've been at a plateau since the beginning of August, and decided to incorporate weight lifting 3 times a week to my routine, jogging once a week, as well as increasing my intake to 1800 calories a day. It's now been two weeks since I've done this, and nothing has happened except gaining a pound and being super frustrated. I don't know what to do anymore, please help!
oseya@live.ca | 09.06.09 - 11:19 pm

Not really - everybody loses weight in different areas as they lose weight.
Read this here on dense brest tissue for a way
Adrian Bryant | 09.04.09 - 11:17 pm
I have a random question...
(For women): Is there any way to control your breast size when losing weight? To rephrase, once I get down to my goal weight, I tend to lose a lot more in the breast area than I'd like. Is there any way to prevent losing there while still making your desired weight?
I told you it was random, but I'm quite serious. Being between cup sizes really sucks!

When your body fat is below 10% is when most guys start seeing abs and everyone's different
Some guys see 6-pack at even 14% or wont see them until they get as low as 7%
You may want to look at Nowloss.com/4 or NowLoss.com/abs to bring out your abs more and...
I don't know about face but the less fat you have = the better you will look
Adrian Bryant | 09.03.09 - 11:36 am
Thanks for answering my question. I want to get down to 6%bf. The only reason i ask was to try to get an accurate measure so i dnt go too far(and end up in the 3-5% range)
So im guessin that a six pack is around 8-10% and a 8 pack is around 6-7%.
Im goin to gain some muscle first and then burn off the last part of fat.
When you lose about 10-20lbs of fat and get down below 10% do you see your abs right away or does it take a couple months?
And is it true that the longer you stay lean the better your abs, face, and body look?
Thanks for your time and replying to my last question!!!

Im not sure what my real bf% is. It says on your bf% calculator that im at 10.23%. Im 5"9 137lbs with a 29.8 waist. I checked out anthony ellis website to see his before and after pictures.
In the before picture it says he was 5"9 135lbs, 26.5 inch waist at 11.5%bf.
I have more than 3 inches on him at the waist but the calculator says I have a lower bf%. It just doesn't make sense.
Can you help me figure out my true bf% so I noe what im at?

08.26.09 - 6:47 pm
I am 48 yrs old, 5'3", 132 lb. For two years I have been trying to lose those 12 pounds (that I swear, crept up on me in about 3 weeks two years ago). I have worked with a personal trainer (too expensive, gave him up), nutritionist (she didn't tell me anything I didn't already know and basically said 'you;re over the hill honey, you don't get to have the body of a teenager), went to bootcamp (3x week for 9 weeks last winter, great for my depression, didn't lose a pound and my clothes didn't fit any better), and then this summer, I trained for and ran a half-marathon (in 2:30, not too bad for an old broad).
But even running - intervals, stairs, speedwork - and doing weight training at least 2x week, eating roughly 1400 calories a day (gross, not net), I *didn't lose a pound, and my clothes don't fit any better*!!!
I don't believe I am a scientific anamoly, there's something I'm doing wrong. And running season will be over here soon (I have ordered P90x).
Any thoughts?

You can possibly lose 10 pounds in a month but you do know that since you are already lean that it's going to take you longer to lose 10 pounds and when doing the treadmill or elliptical - neither one is better than the other

08.20.09 - 11:52 pm
Hello. Great site and thank you for all the useful information. I'm 5'9 and weigh in at about 149lbs (give or take). I've just started going to the gym and my goal is to lose 10 lbs in a month. I have 3 questions: 1. what is the better workout for weight loss - treadmill or eliptical? Also, will the eliptical make my legs bigger - does toned = bigger muscle? Lastly, I do have a well balanced diet and consume little processed foods or refined sugars. Without any modifications to my diet, will I still manage to meet my 10 lbs goal? Thank you for your insight ![]()

I've never heard of the supplement you speak of but...
You cna easily get fiber simply by eating right (see NowLoss.com/199)
Adrian Bryant |
08.22.09 - 8:20 pm
Hi...Yesterday I ate about 1000-1200 calories. I did one of those calorie counter websites last year and was usually under 1300 per day but I normally don't count. I just eat my three meals a day and go for the whole wheat lowfat options. Sometimes I have a snack but not that often.
I read somewhere that fiber is very important for people with under active thyroids and in a thyroid book the author suggested doing Dr Levine's Ultimate WEight Loss. It is a fiber drink you drink twice before one meal and it gives you 37 grams of fiber combined. It is suppose to fill you up (which is not really an issue of mine) and also be thermogenic. Only 5 types of fibers and vitamins in the drink..no caffeine or unnatural ingredients. Have you heard of it?
Thanks

08.20.09 - 11:50 pm
Hi Adrian,
I am 5'4 and 150 pounds, give or take a pound.
I didn't change diet or exercise. And I have been able to maintain the 150 since I gained it. That is the odd part...I was 137-139 for 5 years. Then in 6-8 months I gained and have stayed the same. No change in diet or exercise. The only thing I did different was switch up my exercising from doing the bike and elliptical to walking hills outside. Now I am doing the gazelle and lifting weights (the muscle is not the gain since I am up a pant size and my belly is larger). But I would change up my workouts from time to time so my body wouldn't get use to it and it never affected me before.
I am waiting for my thyroid Dr's in office nutritionist to call me for an appointment to see if she can help me. But as I mentioned, my thyroid levels are ok on my meds and the Dr said he did a full panel of bloodwork and I am in good health.
Any ideas?
thanks so much!

what did you do different when you gained 10 pounds? was you as active - did your diet change?

08.17.09 - 10:03 pm
Hi..I recently gained about 10 pounds in 6 months and not sure why.I was always to stay the same weight for 5 years even while being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Once I gained the weight I went to get all my levels tested again and the Dr said they are perfect. I work out 3 days a week with cardio and even started to incorporate weights two extra days a week. I am a healthy lowfat eater and have been for years. I even tried upping my workouts for some time and nothing. I even joined weight watchers and didn't lose a pound in three weeks. I have no idea what to do now and if it is my thyroid or genetics that made me gain and stay at this weight. Any suggestions?

I'm 131 pounds and waant to get down to atleast 120 in 3-4 weeks. I do 30 minutes of interval training every day and billy blanks ab bootcamp + pilates every other day. I eat around 1000-1200 calories a day (3 meals and 2 snacks)...do you think i can lose these 10 pounds in that amount of time. And is it okay if i continue doing the interval training without a plateau?'

YES - to gain weight you'll need to eat more (go here to gain weight/muscle mass) but...
when you gain muscle...
expect some but not too much fat gain along with muscle
Sorry for misunderstanding

You're not at a plataeu - you just need to realize that you'll only lose about 1/2 - 1 pound a week (give or take) when trying to lose last 10 pounds.

I have lost 40 lbs since January of 2009 and up until now I keep fluctuating between 130 lbs and 135 lbs. I know my body can weigh less because I've been 120 lbs before. realistically how long does it take to lose 8-10 lbs if they're at a plateau like me?

But starving myself does leave me with a big appetite. I know I'm a kid, but this is really stressing me out! I exercise almost everyday but nothing is working!

If I start this diet tomorrow and end it on the last day of August and will I/can I lose 10 to 15 pounds (5~7kg)? And, my last question, do you think I'd be getting everything my body needs? Should I take vitamins, eat a protein bar, and/or bump up the calories?
- walking 6 miles on saturday and sunday (I go about 4 mph)
- 1,000 skips on an unweighted jump rope each night
- eating 1000 to 1200 calories of fruits, veggies, lean meats (mainly tuna and chicken), and special K cereal (normal)
- basic stretches everyday
- no junk food, no soda (Is diet cola okay sometimes?), nothing processed
- only drink water and tea (w/o any sugar, just plain ole' tea, not exactly green though, just tea)
Info/stats:
Age: 15
Weight: 122~5 pounds (different scales say different things)
Height: 5'4"
BMI: 21.6
BMR: 1400-ish
Trouble areas: Butt and hips (Exercises to help these areas are needed. Suggestions?)
NOTES:
* I made this diet so I would eat well, do exercises that I won't hate and not get bored and quit, no no need to menation getting bored with "such a limited selection of food".
* I'm a small framed woman/girl, and as of now I do little to no exercise, so I've heard 1000 calories is fine to consume, I'll bump it up to 1300-1500 calories (More?) once I get into my exercise regiment and keep it at 1000~1200 on non-exercising days.
*I do NOT, repeat, DO NOT want to go into this "starvation mode" thing I hear about, so please tell me if I will be going into it, so I can replan now!
* I know I'm normal weight. I know if I lose 10~15 pounds I'll be 110 to 105 pounds (which isn't really my goal, my goal is 107 (107 is still normal weight for 5"4' or another goal is when I look good and feel great). I'm aware of what I am doing and will stop if this diet makes me sick in any way, shape or form.
Sorry for this scary long comment. Any help will be great.
Thank you.

Go back to NowLoss.com/8 and keep reading after the 10 days part but basically...
You can keep doing it or if you keep reading it'll tell you how to lose weight faster and...
YES - raw fruit and veggies can be considered a GREAT weight loss meal
Adrian Bryant |
07.28.09 - 9:41 pm
hey again,, thanks for the website but i just have some questions according to that..
It says that i should follow that plan for atleast ten days so when ten days pass do i just stop it and start eating normally (but try to be as healthy as possible) or do i keep following it?
and also if i stop following the plan (when i have lost some weight aswell) will the weight come back on really fast?
Also in the plan it says that i should eat 4-5 times a day with small meals ..say if i woke up at 10 and eat every 3-4 hours i would have to eat some small meal in the evening and my mum always gets angry and tells me off if i eat anything past 6 o'clock (i can get away with a raw fruit or veg) so my question is would a raw fruit or veg could be counted as a small meal?

hey, im 13 and i weigh 74kg:163pounds and my height is 162cm.
Around a year or two ago i weighed this much and i treid different diets which didn't work..but i used some tips like eating smaller portions or eating in the morning , missing lunch and eating dinner and such and i lost approximately 4-6kg so i weighed about 66kg but the weiht kept changing in small amounts though. now im 13 and i put on some weight because i started to stop watching everything i eat(started eating whatever i like) and the weight came back on. so i'm trying to look for some effective healthy diets or excersices that can help me lose weight. i have belly fat..and my thighs are really big. I am not a typical teenager worrying about my looks dieting until i look anorexic, NO! I am beginning to worry as my mum has always been on my back telling me to stop eating and go on a diet.
I am on my school holidays right now..around 6 weeks, but unfortunately i have to look after mybaby brother every day so i don't have much time to do a normal exercise as my mum is always working and my brother is always around me,, so i don't have much time. Also if i went on a diet, it would be quite hard because as there is a small child, there of course is sweets and "Bad Foods" all around the house which i can't stay away from for long. I don't want to ask my mum to clean them all out because she will either know that i won't be able to stay on a diet for long..or if i "Cheat" any day she will just "MAke Fun Of mE" telling me stuff that discourages me to lose weight and just starting to hate my own body.
so what im trying to say is that if i went on a diet i would have to do with what is available at home./
Out of this i just want some advice that you could offer me and something tht=at could surely help me lose weight, even no equipment exercises, because i just tried looking for some and there were most good exercises which include equipment such as a weights.
Please write back
thankyou

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?

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.

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?

You probably need more toning than losing fat so look at these inner thigh exercises here
Adrian Bryant |
07.18.09 - 10:16 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 ![]()

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?

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

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

#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

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?

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

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

Yes you can do that

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

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

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.

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

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.. | 06.07.09 - 12:20 am

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?

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

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!

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

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

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

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??

Losing last 10 pounds of FAT not weight will lower body fat percentage

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.

#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

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

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??

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

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?

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

n'tima,
That's simple - just stay active to offset any overeating and you can start off with phase 2 or 3 of this workout plan here to stay active
Thank you for the advice.
If staying 111.5 is the best choice I need to know how to maintain it.
It seems as if I eat more than dinner, (&snacks) I gain.
So please tell me how I can eat regularly & not have to fear the scale.

The plan on this page will help or you can
do the burn fat & build muscle plan
I've recently started working out again, after taking a year off
unfortunatly. I'm 18 around 5'11 210lbs. My meals everyday include: eggs
and potatoes for breakfast, then salad for lunch, then chicken and rice
for supper, then a post-workout salad. I train with heavy sets 4 days a
week, and run 2 days a week, while resting on the seventh day.
I really need to lose whatever fat that has accumulated(mostly on my
midsection), while still maintaining my current muscle mass.

#1 - you don't need to lose weight!

#4 - YOU DON't need to lose weight
I'm a sixteen year old female.
I'm 5'3' & 111.5 lbs.
I want to lose 7 pounds & maintain it. (to have a bmi of 18.5)
What would be the best suggested "high intensity" workouts for me to do?
I run a mile everyday, but I don't eat consistently. I eat small snacks throughout the day, and then just dinner. It comes out to approximately 900-1000 calories.
So how do I lose these stubborn pounds & keep them off?

archana
you're only 5-to-10 pounds from your ideal weight and...
THere are lots of different things you can do for cardio but in your case - you said you was limited to what you can do due to doctors orders and...
It's good to have a small waist-to-hip ratio for health and "LOOK GOOD" reasons but...
What you have seems to be the classic hourglass figure most women want and since you're not overweight...
You can't lose weight to correct the problem unless...
Most of the last 10 pounds you need to lose is in your lower body area and losing 10 pounds will help with that
Omar,
The speed that best fits your fitness level but what I tell people who I train is to do this...
Pick a speed for the hard part or fast run part of your interval that's so intense that you can't wait to get back to the easy part and...
make sure your hard parts are only 20-to-45 seconds
archana,
You usually need to kick up the workout intensity when trying to lose last 10 pounds but in your case...
You are limited so my first idea & question for you is... Does your gym have an arm bike as shown in this video here
If so- you can do intervals on the Pro 2 or arm bike and lose last 10 pounds
Omar,
Since you're already almost at a normal weight - you may only lose 1-to-2 pounds a week doing this and THAT depends on your diet also but...
Since you're not overweight - you may need to do intervals to burn fat faster instead of doing your regular workout
Bryan B,
Most men store most of their stubborn fat (or the fat they lose last) in thier midsection and YES...
the only thing you can do is to keep losing fat to lose your belly fat
Karen,
If you lost 10 pounds and weigh 158 pounds BUT... if you don't look like you weigh 158 pounds then YES...
that's a good sign you gained some muscle and YES...
it is possible for you to get back to 125 pounds by doing what your doing now but...
You should look at how to break out off a weight loss plateau
Hello! I saw your website after a google search about weight loss and muscle gain. Five years ago, I was an extreme martial artist and in the best shape of my life at 36 years old. I moved to South Dakota, gained 35 pounds, so two months ago, I started my fitness regime again. My question is this - is it possible to lose ten pounds in weight and gain ten pounds in muscle mass?
The reason I ask is because two months ago, I weighed in at 165, then three weeks ago, I weighed in at 158, I’m on a dairy-free diet (milk allergies), I work out five days a week - 45 minutes resistance/weight training and 45 minutes variate cardio (high and low intensity). Three weeks later, I fit my clothes better, I’ve obviously lost fat but I’m still at 158??!?!?
I am a female, 5′1, medium bone density, and my fighting weight ten years ago was 125. I am 41 now and hoping to get at least down to a toned 135. Is this realistic?
Is this a period that I plateau (lost 10 lbs. fat/gained 10 lbs. muscle) and then start to see weight loss in the coming weeks?
I would greatly appreciate any comments.
Thank you!

rey,
What you're doing is a good start and...
You can try these 11 tips to speed up your weight loss and...
although eating 4-5 meals is good - you want to only eat about 1100-to-1400 calories to lose weight
hey i'm 5'5, 130 lbs, want to lose 20 lbs. i've been running in the morning, eating 4-5 small meals a day, and dieting. any other suggestions? most of the weight i want to lose is in my stomach. thanks!
jaylei,
Since you're not seriously overweight - it's going to take time to lose your last few pounds of belly fat and since YOU & YOUR body are used to swimming...
You may not burn as much fat doing it as a beginner would so I suggest the first thing you do to speed up weight loss is to do a different weight loss workout and to also look at these other tips to speed up your weight loss
rachel ndubuisi,
YES - look at fast weight loss tip #1 for PROOF
Tankisha,
You can do this weight loss plan here but since you said everything you tried has not worked...

Have a professional or fitness trainer measure your body fat with calipers but...
You can prevent gaining a whole lot of fat while gaining weight by eating good foods like weight loss foods and by working out with weights
Hi
Love your web-site. I am 39 years old and have recently gained a few pounds, going from 100 pounds to 110 pounds which I am very excited about since I've been trying to gain weight. The flip side is that I see excess belly fat and love handles!! Not cute!! How can I measure the amount of body fat that I have?
Thanks

If you have a considerable amount of FAT on your legs then the only thing you can really do to make you legs thinner is to lose overall bodyfat with one of these weight loss plans here
Those exercises you mentioned will only firm up you legs but they may also help make them look thinner as you shape and tone them
Will leg curls + extensions, squats, dead-lifts, and lunges x4 a week make my legs thinner in four months? Or is it just too much?
(all with a healthy diet, of course)

allyson,
Yoga shouldn't bulk you up but YOGA is not intense enough to help you lose weight since...
#1 - you already look good and...
#2 - People who are already lean and don't have much weight to lose need to do intense exercises like intervals to lose weight so...
Doing something intense like intervals 3-to-4 times a week while eating only 1100-to-1400 calories a day should help you lose 10 pounds by/or way before may and also...
Make sure 30% OR MORE of your calories come from protein to speed up fat loss - Look at fast weight loss tip #7 here
allyson,
what's your weight & height?
It really all depends on how much you weigh now but YES...
It's a GOOD chance you can lose 10 pounds in 5+ months just by eating sensibly and cutting out soda, alcohol and junk food
i'm getting married in may and i want to lose about 10 pounds prior to the date. i know that for most woman exercise is key to losing the weight but i bulk up very quickly and i don't want this, i want to be thin. even brisk walking makes my legs bulk up. is just eating sensibly and cutting out soda, alcohol and junk food enough to lose the weight in 5 months?

To lose your last 10 ten pounds at your height & weight - you need to be eating about 1100-to-1300 calories anyway - Just put in your weight on my last 10 pound calculator here but...
If you're eating 900-to-1000 calories plus the fact that you aren't getting hungry - I wouldn't worry too much about starvation mode and to help clear your mind some more...
If your diet is mainly fruits, veggies, and proteins - you reallydon't have to worry about counting calories to lose weight anyway
Thanks. That's a relief, walking is kinda inconvienet. (it's always cold). : I think I'll take short walks so I can get some fresh air.
Oh, yes. An important question here. I've mixed answers of the '1200 calorie a day' recconmendation. Usually, since I eat fruits, vegitables, and some sort of protein(and I'm usually stuffed afterward), whenever I add it up, it's not 1200 calories (based on internet values found). Will my body go into 'starvation mode' and start storing fat? (some peole say since they are good calories and they give what your body needs, others say yes because I'm not getting enough calories). Should I eat more even when I'm not hungry to get it to 1200 (I usually eat 900-1000)?

Karen,
The good news is that you have the time & Patience to reach your goals so the main thing you can do is...
Stay on this advanced fat loss plan here and keep asking me questions along the way if you need more help.
Your body fat % can go down in three ways...
1. lose fat which is what the fat loss plan will do or...
2. gain muscle but since you're a girl I'm guessing you don't want to gain TOO MUCH muscle - so that's not an option or...
3. Do 1 & 2 at same time and you can also do that with the fat loss plan I gave you.
Green tea is GREAT for fat burning so I recommend it and as i said...
DO NOT hesitate to ask me more questions - idiotic or not - as long as they are questions pertaining to helping you look better naked - ask away!
Adrian,
I want to lose inches but is that the same as losing weight? Since summer, I've went from a size 8 to a size 5-6 (yay :D) by losing 10 pounds. But that doesn't make since to me since I highly doubt 10 pounds equals 2 jean sizes.
How would I go about losing inches? I'm not overweight (5'3, 130 (yes, i know it's "ideal" for my height but i don't feel that it is. i understand it'll be harder and take longer) pounds, female, 15 [is that young to lose weight?]) but I still have larger-than-normal thighs and a pouch of fat on my stomach (though it's not a HUGE problem, i can live with it). Could you suggest exercises that would help tone the thighs and help decrease my body fat percentage? When I should exercise? Would green tea aide me in my quest for weight loss (even a little)?
Any suggestions would be great. I'd like to lose the weight by summer (going to france :D), so i have about six months, so i'm not in a hurry (i don't want the weight to come back).
Sorry for the long message & somewhat idiotic questions,
Karen

Shannon,
Are squats the only thing that's painful?
Can you do weight loss intervals that don't involve squats?
Following the diet plan here is all you need and to speed up your weight loss a bit - just make sure you eat 150-to-200grams or protein a day which means 600-to-800 of your 1208-t0-1466 calories will be protein and...
please contact me if you need more help
Hi! I'm 15,female,5'6, and 138 pounds.
I used to be extremely active because of cheerleading but I had to quit the begining of summer. I weighed 126 and now I weigh 138 ![]()
I still have alot of muscle in my thighs but I gained so much weight in my belly and in my thighs.
So me and my dad are having a contest who could loose more weight by Jan. 1, 2009. br>
I have bad knee's and a bad back (thanks to cheerleading) so squats are painful. I don't know what to do! Could you PLEASE help me out??
PP.S. If I win, I get a $200 shopping spree!!

Cy,
B-ball isn't sissy cardio and as for protein...
Just try to get your protein from as many protein sources you can whether it be from muscle milk or chicken
Thanks Adrian,
Another thing then, I usually play full court basketball for about an hour or run 20 min (about 2.5 miles) on a treadmill before my work out. Is this "sissy-cardio" or ok? Lastly for trying to get cut going with your last response is Muscle Milk a good idea... just chicken for protein, or another supplement? Thanks again...

Cy,
To get toned and cut without adding too much bulky muscle...
You basically need to do body sculpting exercises using moderate weights for 8-to-12 reps while continuing to do whatever you did to lose 20 pounds but basically...
To get cut - you need to lower your body fat percentage and you do that building more muscle while losing fat so you should also look at how to build muscle while losing fat

Make sure you do this plan here to lose weight in 3 weeks before your wedding and I advise you to do more higher intensity cardio workouts similar to weight loss workout plan here and you can do weight training but don't focus TOO much on it and I would only do weight training 1-2x a week with light weights

A small snack like a banana may help but the fast weight loss workout is an advanced (intense) workout and you'll have to keep doing it (or build uP) until you get the stamina to complete the workout and also...
Don't push your self TOO hard at first and remember the key thing is that you finish the workout so if you have to stop and take little breaks then that's fine
Hi Adrian,
I'm a 5 5' female and have lost about 20 pounds already (current 146) through exercise and healthy eating. I'm first week into my 'lose 10 pounds in 40 days regime.' When I tried to do the workout #1 in the morning and almost fainted. Would you recommend eating a small snack like banana before the workout? Or how about working out around 11AM -- it's my lunch break?
Moreover, how would you rate elliptical training for intervals? Its worked out well in the past.
Thanks a bunch!

YES - Keep working out and you do want to keep things fresh by changing something in your workout to keep fooling your body
claudia,
To prevent water weight gain...
1. eat a balanced diet meaning not too many carbs
2. avoid too much salt and...
3. Drink water
eda,
Have you tried this plan here to lose your last 10 pounds yet? and have you looked at how to break out of a weight loss plateau also? and one more thing...
Losing your last 10 pounds is going to take longer than losing your first 20-to-40 pounds so be patient and it'll come off
J,
You don't need to lose anymore weight and to make your problem areas look better - Just do some body sculpting exercises
Since Feb 2008 I have lost a lot of weight (about 35+ punds) and I am 25 and
currently 5'2 and weigh about 102 lbs. even with my weight at 102lbs and
working out 3 to 4 days a week I still have fat in certain areas like my
stomach, hips and thighs. I have tried eating tuna, salads and all fresh
fruits and veggies but it seems like the weight comes off every place but
where I need it to. Is there anything I can do with exercise or maybe eating
different to get those stubborn areas? I have alot of stress and i know that
makes things even more difficult in my life but I want to drop around 5 not
10 lbs. I am having problems with those last 5 though. Any suggestions? I
reviewed the calc and it said eat about 1000 calories a day..... I need help
J | 09.03.08 - 12:25 am
Claudia,
What are you doing differently if anything once you get down to 141?
Are you gaining water weight after you get down to 141? - how quickly do you gain the weight back after you hit 141?
Take a look at "10 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau" to see if there's anything else you could be doing wrong
*It's okay to get protein from foods
HI ADRIAN !

*i'm not able to buy protein but i am getting the protein from foods.

Claudia,
I mean that...
For week # 1 You're going to do Fast Weight Loss Workout #1 on Monday & Friday and You'll do Fast Weight Loss Workout #2 on Wednesday and...
For week # 2 You're going to do Fast Weight Loss Workout #2 on Monday & Friday and You'll do Fast Weight Loss Workout #1 on Wednesday and then...
On week #3 You'll do Week #1 again or... You'll repeat the week #1 & week #2 cycle so...

michael,
If you have a little bit of fat left - you don't need to lose 30 pounds of weight
You just need to lose about 5-to-15 pounds of FAT to get your abs to show and This plan here is the best plan you can use to do that but... Also look at "To lose belly fat fast & Get abs at the same time..."
Hi,
I'm sixteen years old, 5'11", and im 190lbs. I have some [little] belly fat that I REALLY want to lose so I can start building my abs up. My ideal weight is 160lbs. So I have to lose 30lbs. Can you give me my personal weight loss plan at my email. [ michael.easley@yahoo.com ] I'm trying to be slimmer than I am.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Michael Easley | 07.28.08 - 10:07 pm
Mark,
Why are you trying to lose weight?
I think you really want to burn fat and gain muscle (RIGHT?) becasue at...
5'8" 140 LBS you're at an ideal weight already so trying to lose weight is going to be harder well, not harder it's just going to take longer and you'll need to be patient - Look at this to see why
lifting weights will help you burn FAT and gain muscle so when you hop on a weight scale - it'll say you gained weight but you'll look lighter because of the muscle you gained
Go here to tone up your back but overall...
In my opinion - You should go here to see how to burn fat & build muscle but...
You can still lose weight if you want to... It's just going to take longer than you think

Are you eating mainly weight loss foods for your 1600 calories and...
What does your workout plan consist of?
SugarK,
#1. Any weight loss plan will burn total overall body fat and if your thighs have a layer of fat then... YES - your thighs will get slimmer by working out & dieting
#2. Basically the same answer as #1 - your love handles are fat that will decrease as you lose weight and Do these love handle exercises to help firm up your waist area
#3. Yes - 1 scoop will work but you don't have to use protein shakes -Read #2 here again - you can simply use another 100 calorie source of protein
Hi,
Im 15, 5'2 and weigh 150 pounds.
Im going to try this workout plan and the "lose 20 pounds in 3-4 weeks" weightloss plan, for I am looking to lose quite a bit of weight before school starts about a month and a half from now.
I have some questions....
1. My thighs are huge(mostly fat), even the part above my knee is quite big.. I am looking to lose most or ALL of the fat from my thighs. Will this workout help me to lose weight in my thighs and make them slimmer? or will I have to do another workout plan/ exercise to make them slim?
2. I have the same problem with my "love handles", there huge! Again, will this workout plan help me to lose most or ALL of that fat? or will I have to do another workout?
3. I don't have whey or soy protein.. But I do have another weightloss control powder.. The thing is.. It says to put 2 scoops in a cup of water but the 2 scoops are OVER 200 calories! What should I do? Could I maybe just use one scoop instead?
Thanks.
SugarK | 07.22.08 - 6:15 pm
Jane,
I'm sorry - I don't have any meal plans right now but if you're having trouble counting calories in the meals you eat - Go to this calorie counting website for help
Stephanie,
NO and double NO if you're trying to lose your last 10 pounds.
Replace your coffee with green tea instead to still get the caffeine you need but also get some extra fat burning as well
Hi Adrian,
Is it ok if I drink coffee in the morning before I eat my first meal ?
Thanks
Stephanie | 07.15.08 - 9:24 am
Jill,
On M, W, & F mornings - do Fast weight loss workout #1 or #2 (your choice) and just alternate doing them.
On M, W, 7 F evenings - you do a weight loss interval, tae-bo or you can do a low intensity workout like walking for 45min.
For tues, thurs, and weekends... You REST & DO NOTHING for 3 of those 4 days and ONE of those days any day you choose) - you'll do a morning and evening light 45 minute cardio workout
I hope this clears any confusion up but if you still have problems - just contact me again
Hunter,
Make sure you read the entire workout plan here again but...
On Tuesday & Thursday and the Weekends - you...
You have to PICK ONE of those days to do a morning & evening 45-to-60 minute low-to-moderate intensity workout like walking, jogging, or bicycling and...
YYou can rest the other 3 days or you can do an extra low-to-moderate intensity weight loss workout on your off days and...
roz,
If you want to workout everyday... I suggest you do this workout plan here becasue... trying to do fast weight loss workouts #1 & #2 everyday may be too much for you and if do decide not to take my advice on this I urge you to at least do fast weight loss workouts #1 and/or #2 only 3x a week for your first 3 weeks and build up to everyday.
also read why it's harder to lose your last 10 pounds and it's going take a while for you to lose 20 pounds because you already look good and because you're not overweight and since you don't have much weight to lose - you're going to lose your last 20 pounds but it's going to be at a slow rate.
olivia,
If your following my lose 20 pounds plan here then YES... if your stuffed after eating veggies and protein - then you don't have to eat anything - you're only required to eat a 0-to-300 calorie meal after the veggies and protein
Marina,
It's OK for you to lose 20 pounds but realize you're going to lose weight at a much slower rate than someone who is actually overweight
Melat,
22% is GREAT considering the fact that anything over 35% is considered obese for women and YES...
It is better in my opinion to use the mirror and/or bodyfat scale to judge your apperance rather than numbers on a scale.
I weight 230 pounds but I look like I weight 190 pounds because of my lower bodyfat percentage
I appreciate you taking time to respond.
It seems like I do need to change my exercise routine. That's the only thing that's kind of been similar other than that I've been on a 1200 calories a day plan for the past week and a half. It included whey proten shake, egg whits, chicken/fish, non-fat yogurt, fruits and veggies and of course lots of water.
My body fat percentage right now is 22% and when I started working out 3 months ago it was 28%. I think this is a big change. I've lost inches all over but i want to see the scale go down a bit too. Maybe i'm asking too much.
Melat |
06.19.08 - 1:20 am
Melat,
The first thing I'm going to tell you is that you probably need to change up your exercise routine by at least trying to do the workout routine on this page or if you can - talk to your personal trainer to see if he/she can give you something new to do to lose weight because by doing the same weight loss workout - your body will get used to it and stop burning that many calories causing you not to lose that much weight and...
The second thing I'm going to tell you is to Read how to break out of a weight loss plateau but the main things you need to check are...
How many total calories are you eating everyday because if you're eating too much -you're not gonna to lose weight anyway and you need to check your bodyfat% to see how lean you are because leaner people have a harder time losing weight and...
I suspect you are lean from what you told me in your question so please also read why it's harder to lose your last 10 pounds
patrick,
Since you're overweight -any of my weight loss plans will help you lose weight fast but to lose 25 pounds in a month and a half - you may be able to do that with this fast weight loss plan here
ladydaley,
The diet plan is already here on this page along with The foods you need to eat to lose weight and if you're looking for recipes - I'm not good in that area and i'm also sorry to say that I don't know whatkinds of foods are mainly in the Bahmamas
Claudia,
I think I already answered your question but YES- You should do the "the last 10 pounds workout"
Michelle,
It'll probably be better for you to do body sculpting exercises to shape and firm up your body to make yourself look 10 pounds lighter because at your weight - I don't think there's not much more weight you can lose
Myra,
If your goal is to lose inches and just firm up then yes Do this fast weight loss workout at anytime during the day and I think you're more concerned with FAT LOSS rather than fat loss and the "to lose last 10 pounds" will help you burn fat & lose inches
I want to lose a lot of weight within 3 weeks. Rather than weigt loss, I would prefer at least having a slimmer waist line - at least minus 3 inches (current waist measurment is 35" - too much). and also getting rid of these stupid love handles! Im 5'3 & weigh 132 pounds. How much can I lose in three weeks on body rather than weight? I have started brisk walking as part of my excercise for one hour and 30 minutes every day every morning. I would like to continue that but want to know whether I can do your fast weight loss workout in the evenings instead of mornings, because it will fit my schedule better like that since I go walking with friends in the morning.
ADRIAN PLEASE TELL ME IF I WILL BE ABLE TO LOSE INCHES EVEN IF I DONT LOSE THE WEIGHT (IN 3WEEKS)
Thank you
Myra |

j-moncada,
Here's a sample menu
Do you know how to count calories and once you lose 10 pounds Go here to see how much you need to eat to maintain weight and you also need to exercise 3-to-4 times a week to keep weight off permanently and...
I'm located in the USA
Another question for you....
What kind of eating plan does one have to maintain once they've lost the last 10-15 pounds without gaining all the weight back?
Are you located in Toronto Canada?
j-moncada | 05.07.08 - 8:58 pm
Hi
I've been trying to lose 10-12 pounds for 2 years. I see your suggestion to eat 6 meals/day @200-300 calories each.
Do you have a sample of a full day menu. I'm just not sure how to differentiate the amount of calories contained per meal.
p.s. The protein seems limited. Is it ok to eat protein slices of clean natural chicken or turkey slices as well?
j-moncada | 05.07.08 - 8:56 pm
Lucy,
Yes - You Can substitute the Advanced Green Tea Pills with regular Green Tea (Bags)
Fat burners (Green tea) are only necessary for people who are not overweight who are trying to lose extra pounds and you need every little extra edge you can get to
