Ummm...ketosis doesn't work that way. Calories matter more than anything else. Ketogenic diets burn more fat because there's more to burn -- that doesn't mean body fat is decreased more, it simply means that the extra ingestion of fat leads to it being more primarily used as a fuel source. 'Fat' needs to be less ambiguous to stop confusion like this.

^yeah i know what you're saying but i can't imagine this guy needs even a gram of carbs right now. looks to be @25% body fat, at the very least.

 

[whacked]

^ That's debatable. But the fact that he needs to start exercising, and exercising hard, is not.

I personally don't think you should ever permantely cut out complex carbs, mainly referring to whole grains and wheats. They contain so many valuable nurtrients and minerals.

I do, however, encourange you to cut back significantly on all breads, pastas, and fruit juices until you cut some of your weight. This will make you loss happen a bit faster. Once you near your desired weight, add the complex carbs back to your diet. If you eat reasonably and continue to do moderate exercise, maintaining your results should be simple.

I will cut back on bread, and I rarely eat pasta, and nothing but water, so no fruit juice either. that won't be too hard. When I do rarely eat carbs, they will be complex. that should help

If I am 25% body fat right now i wonder what I was 40 pounds ago (4 months ago).

Just so you know I am more healthy know then I ever have been in my life (19 years) but am far from happy with that weight or look. I will reach my goals though, for the past 6 months I've never been more committed and worked harder.

Btw congrats on the weight loss. Don't want to diminish all the hard work you've done so far. Keep it up.

 

[Mr Thibs]

Can you post what kind of workouts/training you do in the gym?

Make sure you are getting enough sleep at night.

I know that your in college and that can be a problem some times but try to get your body into a routine.

Wake up around 8 and go for a jog and after that jump rope for 5 minutes.

Do this before you eat so your Glycemic index is at its peek and you will burn more carbs.

Well today....

I did 30 minutes of swimming
1 hour of basketball
and some basic weightlifting

I wanted to ask anyone can let me know the most important lifts to do for an overall weight lifting program.

I do pretty good on sleeping, and may take your breakfast workout into my training routine

In between meals If I want to snack what should I eat

 

[thekunk07]

the big lifts are best when starting out.

chins, bench, clean and jerk, push press, military press, close-grip bench, deads, maybe barbell curls, deadlifts, squats.

Use the link that why posted on the first page, or buy starting strength. Those programs include everything you need to do.

 

[Mr Thibs]

Hi again, doing pretty well, cut down alot on carbs, and the carbs I am eating are all complex.

I had a question about breakfast. Is Kashi cereal a good breakfast?? It looks good but I wanted to check in with you guys first

 

[robertorex]

I think if you supplement that with a good helping of protein from a shake or meat its probably good. Just make sure you're not eating too many calories.

 

[Mr Thibs]

hey guys me again, so i've settled ona workout plan that I started at the end of least week, i do this four days a week:

Dumbbell Press
Bicep Curl
Side Lateral Raises
Squats/Overhead Squats
Dips
Bench Press
Deadlift

I feel weird doing squats and deadlift, like I am doing something wrong, I have watched videos on youtube though.

I would do pull ups but I can't even do 1

This weight lifting is along with 1 hour of basketball, and swimming 2-3 times a week, with occassional cross country skiing.
