A good way for a guy to lose 35 pounds?!
Question:
A good way for a guy to lose 35 pounds?
I need some expert advice on this, since I've already done a lot of research and even tried a few things that haven't worked. I need to lose 35 pounds while getting in shape. Last year I started at a local gym, and lost about 20 pounds but after a while I stopped losing weight due to the muscle I was forming. I could change my diet, but that won't get me in shape (say, for running) and might do more harm than good. What's a good workout routine to lose weight and get in shape, without building too much muscle mass (and therefore stopping the weight loss)?
FYI: I'm wanting to join the Air Force and need to meet their weight requirement.
Answers:
Simple.
1) Start working out. Run every other morning. Do strength training on the off mornings.
2) Eat sensibly. Don't pay any attention to those fad diets or low fat diets. You are a man and should eat for your body. Just cut out sugars, Eat a balanced diet of pleanty of meat, veggies, fruits and whole grains.
(Note) Don't starve your self. That is counter productive and slows down your metabolism.
