You have to stop looking at is as “I want to be lazy and somehow make myself skinny, and SOMEHOW I think that a lazy person like me DESERVES to be skinny, or is CAPABLE of being skinny”…..
and start looking at it as “I DONT CARE what my weight is. I only care about 2 things: Eating the HEALTHIEST FOODS that I POSSIBLY CAN, and eat them as spread out during the day in as many small meals as I can…..
and exercising my a*ss off and increasing and bettering my athletic performance, so I become the best athlete and in the best shape, that I can possibly be.”
===============
Stop looking at it as “I want to lose WEIGHT.”
start looking at it is “I want to lose INCHES, I want to get a LOWER FAT PERCENTAGE, I want to get a HIGHER STRENGTH PER POUND OF MUSCLE RATIO, etc.!!!
=================
With that said: Let me go over the basics of losing weight to you:
1) you lose weight based on how much you exercise, and how fast your metabolism is, and HOW HEALTHY you eat.
2) HOW MUCH you eat has NOTHING to do with how much weight you gain. For example, 2500 calories would make SOME PEOPLE gain ALOT of weight, and it would make SOME PEOPLE be practically starving and weak, and lose weight unhealthily fast!
3) Therefore, the key is to eat about the same amount of calories you eat about now. I’d say maybe cut 50 calories AT THE MOST from what you’re eating.
And instead of worrying about CALORIES, change WHAT you eat! Only eat the healthiest, nutrient-rich foods, and don’t eat any unhealthy foods. If you do this, and exercise intensely, you will lose weight continually, until you are in optimal, slim, cut, toned athletic shape. You feel me?
===========================
4) OK, you’re probably thinking “hmm i get it.. but what exactly makes a food healthy?” Good question, aquato!
The key is to eat only whole wheats, grains, oats, rye, granola, sesame, and stuff like that for breads….
tuna, fish, chicken, turkey, deer, eggs, and protein shakes for meat food group…..
vegetables and fruits they are ALL GOOD, just make sure you have a variety and abundance of both, and TRY to buy organic- IF YOU CAN! and MAKE SURE they are fresh, not frozen or anything like that!….
dairy group, have WHOLE MILK, and regular yogurt. cheese should be eaten sparingly, as it constipates you slightly… thus slowing down your metabolism.
=======================

5) Don’t eat any fast food, junk food, artificial food, frozen food, microwaved food, junk cereals, processed food, school food, candy, soda, carbonated beverages, caffeinated ANYTHING, any drugs (even OTC drugs!), syrup, dressing, etc.
6) To speed up metabolism…. ah, yes- THAT is the answer to LIFE! But how do you do that? …Let me tell you.
A) eat a hot pepper with dinner 3-4 times a week. make it one you can BARELY stand. as you increase tolerance, up the pepper after awhile.
B) eat 6-7 smaller meals a day, instead of 3-4 bigger ones.
C) EAT A GIANT BREAKFAST!
D) still eat later in the day, just LIMIT CARBS at night, of course, and have more proteins… this builds muscle during sleep, which will increase metabolism.
E) the more meat you eat, the more muscle you have, which burns fat and increases metabolism, as well!
F) aside from the 6-7 smaller meals a day, always have a healthy snack with you to be munching on if you get hungry, at all times.
G) CHEW YOUR FOOD REALLY WELL!!!!!
H) drink a cup of prune juice about once every 10 days. will clean your colon out, and crap out any unnecessary foods… speeds up metabolism, too.
I) concentrate on food, enjoy food, and don’t feel guilty.
J) NEVER OVEREAT, AND NEVER UNDEREAT. ALWAYS eat what you need- nothing more, nothing less. either of those are signs of either disorders or lack of self-control.
lastly, and most importantly…..
K) EXERCISEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you know that exercise speeds up metabolism and burns fat/calories/carbs for up to 45 minutes AFTER you’ve finished a HARD (notice the word “hard”) work-out??
============================
7) How do you work out? Hmmmm… easy.
You want to change it up. You should be working TO YOUR MAX about 2-3 hours a day… AT LEAST 2 hours a day. lol
Run sprints one day, and do long distance (2mile run) the next.
lift lower body weights one day, and upper body the next. (do reps of 12-15 for legs, 18-25 for upper body)
do upper body endurance one day (punching bag, or upper body rowing) and do upper body sprints the next day (clap pushups, speed pull-ups, and other upper body plyometrics)
do hard, high-weight, low-rep ab/core work with weights one day, and then endurance/cardio/speed/circuit ab/core work the next day. this should be about 20 minutes of yoru workout.
