Let's make an FAQ, /fit/. I'm tired of this board sucking. Lets get some consensus on real answers and make this a little more successful.

Step 1. Google BMR.

1. I want to lose weight.
I want to be thinner.
I want to lose these love handles.
I want to burn off extra fat.
I want to tone up.
What/how much should I eat in order to lose weight?
ANSWER: Do you want to lose WEIGHT? or do you want to lose FAT? In order to lose fat:

You must count your calories, and consume foods that your body needs. No more fats, sweets, oils, and unnecessary starches. Huge helpings of pasta, rice, and white-bread sandwiches are out.

Eat whole wheat bread and pasta, oatmeal, fresh fruits and vegetables, lowfat/fat free dairies, and lean meats such as chicken/turkey breast, fish, etc. One classic staple is the garden vegetable/chicken breast salad. Satisfying, healthy (garden greens are extremely nutritious), and cheap.

You should aim to eat five or six smaller meals a day. This keeps the body in a state of constant metabolism. It takes energy to digest food. Eating three big squares a day lets your body settle into a routine, digesting one big lump and then remaining dormant for hours until the next meal.

Perhaps, but we also get a lot of noobs asking stupid same questions. Perhaps we should get some basics? Also ignore the 7chan copypasta, ours should be unique.

we'd still get the same noobs asking the same questions. the only difference is that the only replies in the thread would be about the FAQ.

Its not the only way of doing things, but its a damn fucking good way. If we can just steal that it would be great. ZC's example monday wed, fri, workout lifting workout has really done wonders for me. I just swapped his strength plan to a more hypertrophy oriented program. It's a great source of info for beginners.

Thats probably because that FAQ has a lot of reasonably useful shit in it, and cuts out the hundreds of threads asking "HOW DOES I LOSE OVER 9000 LBS" or "I cant see my abs by I do x million crunches a day", as well as a nice starting plan for most anons.

I agree that ours should be unique though.
