I'm missing the point of getting up at 5:30 and then going back to bed - what makes that better than running at 7:30 and then going to work?
I want to lose 20lbs before 1/1/12. Any tips?

Thought about it. How long would I need to be on it before I see results? I want to get on, lose weight, and get off BEFORE it effects my brain. Any feedback or stories?Originally Posted by Swag4Days

100% raw fruit/veggie juice diet plus 60 minutes of cardio per day walking/light jogging. Start with 10 days. You will see amazing results (physically and mentally) if you have the will power to do this.
Go on Netflix and watch Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead.
Here are some juice recipes if interested: http://jointhereboot.com/...m/recipes/juice-recipes/

It's 90% diet and 10% exercise. I've seen people work their butt off in the gym all day, then get a whopper and a venti frapp. to 'reward' themselves after and think they're doing it

Thanks in advance!
Yeah right. That's lack of dedication.

OP, ignore all of these nonsense suggestions and look up Intermittent Fasting and the leangains method.
http://www.leangains.com/
in summary, the idea is to fast for a 16 hour period, then you get to pig out and eat all of your calories within an 8hr period (as opposed to conventional broscience of eating 6 small meals a day, etc). the basic principle behind it is that when it comes to weight loss, it doesn't matter when you eat. all that matters is that at the end of the day, your body is at a caloric deficit and you will lose weight. the idea that you cant eat before bed, you should eat small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism up, etc is unproven and he debunks all of those myths on his site. in addition, the fasting period has benefits because fasting causes your body to release catecholines (sp?) which have an effect of speeding up fat oxidation and also make you more focused throughout the day.
you can modify the hours how you want, just make sure you only eat within that 8 hr period. i've been doing it since early last month.. i fast until ~4pm, have a small snack/some protein then workout, then between then and 12am i put away about 1800-2000 calories. while other people are eating salads i'm putting away huge plates of pasta, chik-fil-a with large fries, whatever. then i go to bed and sleep like a baby. believe it or not i'm losing weight. since early July i've lost 6 lbs, granted i wasnt fat before. i could have probably lost 10+ by now but i'm keeping my caloric deficit small to preserve muscle mass.
if you are more overweight/don't care about preserving lean muscle mass you can make great fat losses with it. it also fits my lifestyle since 1) i generally skip breakfast/early meals anyways, and 2) i can eat whatever i want at night and always go to bed on a full stomach (complete opposite of the "no carbs before bed" blah blah nonsense which he disproves thoroughly on his site)
the guy who made it has a background in nutrition, physiology, etc. this is him
needless to say he knows his +@+%..

never stuff yourself. rarely be full. just fill yourself till you have enough to function and move on. dont eat so fast so your body can tell if your near full properly.
eat better/smaller. you do this for a month or two people will start telling you you lost weight and you wont even notice it. srs.
drink water all the time. skip a lot of carbs. they stay the longest in the body. but dont neglect. you need it for energy.
sweat your !!! off. work out. do some HITT. sweat your !!! off.
and the most important one: be consistent. dont $!##%%@ do it for a week then eat %%%# the next cause youre proud that you did it. you aint done. its useless if you have to start over again all the time.

Drink green tea, has virually no calories, tastes good, and contains a small amount of caffeine which will act as a natural appetite suppressantOriginally Posted by MetroKid26

It's all about what you eat. Don't drink sodas, no fast food, no desserts, etc. This alone you'll be able to lose that weight by New Years. Drink water only, people think switching from soda to gatorade or juices are doing themselves a favor. These drinks are packed with sugar.

I swear it's like, I can see fat melt off by the day. It's def. not for everyone, though. You have to have discipline and it takes some getting used to.
And EC is awesome. It really suppresses my appetite. I have to force myself to meet my calories for the day. Otherwise, I could easily get through the day on just 500 calories.
But yeah, as far as shedding fat goes, this does WONDERS...if you can handle it.

5"9, 200 plus pounds, you should be able to lose 20 easily.
Heavy people lose the first 20 pounds really fast if they just put a little effort into it. It's like the last 10-20 pounds that's hard.
The way I did it:
good carbs instead of bad carbs. meaning brown rice, wheat bread, pasta instead of fried rice, white rice, white bread, etc.
only water. no other kinds of drinks allowed.
cardio 30 minutes at a time up to 4x a week. you don't even need to run that hard as long as it's a nice, solid pace and you're sweating in the end. if your knees are bad, elliptical works really well too.
if you eat like most Americans, you prolly eat only twice or three times a day but in really big amounts. you need to break that up into smaller meals for up to 5 meals a day, ideally. this is prolly the hardest thing to do for most people. I dunno how I'd be able to do this when I start working.

Oh snap. For real?! What about if it a little off. I don't eat breakfast. Eat about a 400-500 calorie meal for lunch at 12 pm. Then I do a bit of light cardio/weights from 5-6. Between 6-10 I eat another 1300 calories (two medium burritos, bagelwiches, type stuff, and some fruits/veggies).Originally Posted by DT43

Alright I did keto for like 3 weeks a few months ago and was seeing results but broke down and couldn't take it during the summer, to many friends in town = drinking and bad food. Is the whole purpose of the EC Stack to suppress your diet? Need to look into this since I am thinking about going back on keto starting Monday.Originally Posted by SNEAKERKING757

As far as EC stack goes, it suppresses your appetite, slightly boosts your metabolism, and gives you energy. It most DEFINITELY makes keto easier. Matter of fact, I don't think I could handle keto with it.
