Sup /fit/.


I'm starting a diet (weigh about 265 lbs, and am around 5'10 or so), and have been going pretty well - I think. Problem is, I've yo-yo dieted a lot in the past five years, taken adderall, and diet pills. So basically, I lost thirty pounds, gained ten, lost fifteen in like two weeks, dropped back down, gained like twenty, lost fifteen in like a week due to adderall (speed lol) ballooned up to 265, and a then started taking diet pills (speed lol) and went down to 250. THEN I went back up to 265. Anybody have any tips for a good, steady diet? I wouldn't mind a new excercise routine either, I've been running on a treadmill since I was like 14. Anybody have any advice?

dont do speed.
try exercising instead.
Figure out how many calories you eat a day, and then make it so you eat like 1700 instead. Coupled with exercise - moderate running / biking 45 minutes, 3/4 times a week gives pretty good results.

I was neigh on 300lbs last march, and now I weigh 200lbs~ (give or take a lb)

3.5 pounds a week for 7 months without a break? fair play. i started at the same time and only lost a third of that.

1. Figure out your metabolic requirement. I forget the proper name for it, but this is the amount of calories you need each day to MAINTAIN your exact weight (give or take some because every person is slightly different).

2. If you get less than this number of calories, you lose weight. If you get more, you gain weight.

3. 1 lb of fat is APPROXIMATELY 3500 calories.

Example: If you get roughly 500 calories LESS THAN what your daily requirement is each day, then you will lose 1 lb each week.

500 calories is nothing. Any decent diet + decent exercise routine will give you a deficit of 1000-1500 per day.

I have found losing weight is really easy if you understand the math and science involved. It may take a while to get to your goal, but being able to constantly see how it works might make it easier to stay motivated.
