Alrighty so i'm a tad bit overweight (just that bit of extra fat) and i'm looking for a way to get rid of the extra and have a better looking body.  I'm currently at a large university eating on a meal plan so I'm a bit limited on what I can eat but does anybody have some tips on what I should do to loose weight and gain muscle and how to do it on a college campus?  My school has a great recreation center/gym and ive been playing sports for as long as I can remember just unfortunately put on a bit too much weight lol.  Any help or tips are great.  Thanks in advance!!

A - Read "Fit for Life" by Harvey Diamond - you'll take off the weight if you follow the program. It's easy and requires no calorie counting.

It's basically this:

1) Eat only fruit for breakfast and until noon every day.

2) Don't mix proteins and starches


B - Don't get high before you go to the cafeteria.

This my kind sir will be put into my signature lol

 

And yea college eating sucks, here all there is are chain restraunts such as Chick-fil-a, Sbarro, and places like that so its hard to eat healthy.  Ill definitely look into that though Thanks!

You have a weight room, you know how to use use google. Extra SF™ points can be had by using the fucking search function.

TrH i'm not trying to get into an arguement or anything but the search function gets more and more impossible everyday with each and every post,  I did in fact search and found nothing specific to my question so I went ahead and posted a thread.  Trust me i'm on a ton of other forums and I know what its like to have 681583 of the same exact question because nobody searched it so I understand.  Once again I'm just going to say that since there was no threads on specifically what I was looking for I decided to make one and I'm sure some other noobs might just search and find this one.  All due respect

That's how I lost (and have kept off) 70lbs - 1/3rd my body weight. I know it's completely counter intuitive, but I swear it works great. I'd encourage you to try it, but I know you're a gainer.

Well yes when people post really vague thread titles which have nothing to do with the overall theme of their thread/question then that's what you get right.

Anyway, here are my thoughts, I mean it's not P90XYZ, or Atkins or whatever the christ, but I think it might get the job done..
  • Drink only water
  • Go jogging every morning minimum 30 mins
  • Limit meals to 2/day and do not eat after 5:00PM
  • Eat "healthy food" (research what qualifies as healthy food and what does not)

Good luck.

LOL @ some of the responses in this thread. Here's some general random pieces of advice:

-research IF (intermittent fasting); this is a diet that can work really well with a college schedule. Especially if you have all you can eat dinners, this should save you some money and give you a better looking body.
-join an intramural team, preferably in a sport that requires a good amount of cardio (e.g. basketball or soccer).
-try not to drink your calories. Water, green tea, propel, etc. are all good options. Try and limit your alcohol consumption to one or two nights/wk (I know this will be hard, being college and all).
-resarch Stronglifts/Starting strength and other newbie weight training programs.
-limit your intake of processed foods. Veggies, lean meats, nuts, berries, etc. should make up the bulk of your diet.

Try it before you make that conclusion. Just try it - try it for a month.

I have no idea why anyone would have a need for an inane diet like that. Especially if OP is only trying to shake some measly pounds off. It's calories in < calories out, high protein and shit will happen as long as one is in a caloric deficit.

Fad diets are ridiculous, reducing weight isn't that complicated as a lot of ppl seem to think it is.
