    Drink 5litres of ice cold water a day, & just make sure you eat smaller meals 5/6 times during that day. Youll get there after a while. DO NOT SKIP MEALS

    Water has a zero calorie content, you can actually use simple physics to burn calories
    just by drinking it! Everything in your body is heated or
    cooled to core body temperature, and every action performed by
    your body requires energy to do so.

    Your bodies unit of energy is calories, so simply by drinking
    your water ice cold will burn extra calories using your
    bodies own heating mechanism to raise the temperature!
    Studies have shown that out of the hundreds of people studied over the years, the people who drank the most ice cold water lost the most fat! You can burn up to 2000 cals a wekk just from water.
    If you're not drinking at least (yep, at the very least!) 4 litres of water a day, you're really not using it to it's fullest potential!
    Look at water as one of your best allies in your pursuit for a
    better physique. It's free, it's convenient, it's easy to
    prepare... how hard is it to put a glass under a tap and throw
    in some ice?!

    If youre a member of a boxing gym you should have trainers there that will direct you, but make sure you hit the bags and eventually spar for boxing specific. I myself do a lot of weights in my training, but some warn against this(those who dont do waits will probably give you a bit of advice later) Just make sure your diet is clean and calorie's are in deficit. On your rest days just have a little jog, say 20 minutes. You'll get there. Someone will come along soon to give you more info, i myself have to shoot out.....:good .:hi:

    run in the morning before eating and drink lots of water. running in the morning burns fat 3x faster and the water will make u **** out everything else.

    Train more, eat less and more balanced ... and set yourself realistic goals. You don't lose that sort of weight overnight. It takes planning and discipline.

    it also burns muscle.

    and drinking 5 litres of water a day is harmful to the health.

    No its not pal, more than 5 litres is, but 5 litres(this can include other fluids) is beneficial.

    no it is not, 2 litres of water isn't even needed in a day.
