My Journey back to being fitness

Try intermittent fasting diet. 8 hour eating windows. Good for weight loss. Google lean gains martin berkhan

 

It's an effective diet but he should stick to exactly what he's doing now instead of jumping from one method to another.

 

5 reps or less type weight would be too much. losing some of the benefits of extra reps.

most trainers/documentation recommends 3 sets of 10-15 reps and by the end of the last set u should not be able to do anymore. somewhere between easy and the most u can do. just solid heavy

as for the egg whites, I justify it like this:

carton is about 4 bucks. lasts a few meals. I spend easily 5-10 bucks if I go grab something at work for lunch. so I just bring my lunch instead of doing that, more than works out

 

Well done!

 

Don't mean to crush your spirit, but half of that is likely water weight.

The weight loss might slow down after a while, so don't get discouraged and keep on going.

 

yeah your probably right. still cool to see that on the scale. losing 5 lbs in a week of actual body fat would be a bit much. 17000 calorie deficit.

and yeah it definitely slows, but I wouldn't focus as much on the weight as I would ur body fat %, how u look, and how u feel.

Ive been a completely ripped athletic machine at 160...and a tub of goo (relatively) that couldn't run half a mile to save my life...also at 160. scale can be misleading.

but def keep it up , and no doubt, ull see results.

 

That's a very good point right there. The scale just shows numbers- how you look/feel is most important.

 

always weigh at the same time for reliable results

 

for a good indicator of why this is so correct, weigh first thing in the am, then like after dinner. sometimes I see as much as 5 or 6 lb swings.

I like weighing first thing in the am (before breaky!) if im tracking my weight

 

Yeah bad eating and lack of exercise leads to bad body shape. Now a days most of the people eat too much fast and junk foods that seriously affects the fitness level and body shape. Follow a regular workout plan along with right fitness diet plan to maintain your fitness level in long term.
