Question:
Will this exercise be a good fit for me?
Im 21 years old and I weigh 205 lbs. My senior year of high school when I was 18 I weighed 185 lbs. Over the past 3 years, since I quit running and playing ball I have developed weight in my gut, chest and neck, and sides... NOWHERE ELSE. I hate my boobs pokin out everywhere and its killing me! I wanna lose 15-20 lbs. I thought of the cereal diet where I eat a bowl of the "guaranteed to lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks" cereal every morning and every night with skim milk. Then in the middle of the day eating one good healthy meal. Also eating an apple or banana every couple hours, drinking 3 liters of water a day. I also bench monday wednesday and friday, and im going to start long distance bike riding next week. I also plan to run a mile every morning for 2 weeks then boosting it up to a mile and a half for another 2 weeks and then 2 miles...so on. I will be wearing a sauna suit also. What is a good meal to eat for that once a day meal? WILL THIS WORK AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? THANKS!
Answers:
Your method does not sound very healthy, you will want to start slow, and make sure you eat. If you do not eat, it will be very hard to lose weight, as your metabolism will be destroyed. You should, however cut calories by cutting portions and more imporantly, fat calories. running is good, but start without a sauna suit. let your body get used to the new excercise. You may lose weight quickly at first then stop suddenly losing. dont be discouraged, this is common and you have to work through it. as you go on increase your cardio intensity, that should help. good luck
