Right lads
How do you stop being a fat son of a bitch without breaking the bank on gym membership?
Run? Swim?
If you just want to lose fat, you don't need to lift weights lol
Whatever you eat, eat half of it
Do you cook for yourself or does anyone control what you eat?
I'm off to university in September, but as of now I'm stuck with microwave meals. Unfortunately my mother is too busy for home cooking, and I have to devote the next few months to studying as opposed to getting a paid job and buying my own ingredients.
I guess at university there will be healthier meals
You can't cook other foods?
Try low carb, high fat diet
Medium on the protein
By the way, in order to excercise you can buy some elastic bands:
With some like those you can exercise pretty much every part of your body, at almost any intensity level
They are also really light and you can carry them to university
And one of these to have a wider set of possible excercises https://www.amazon.com/REEHUT-Single-Resistance-Band-Exercise/dp/B01IBIZG92/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=exercise+elastic+band&qid=1553699539&s=gateway&sr=8-20
Get some food with minimal oil. Drop fries. Absolutely no eating between meals. And small meals
If you fear you will hunger too much, get some flavored protein power to make protein shakes. They will fill you considerably while being mainly proteins.
If you consume too much protein, you'll skrew up your metabolism
I can't say I recommend that
And that any excess is just excreted
Still, you aren't going to consume too much with, lets say, a shake a day
if you feel too hungry
@Mozalbete ⳩ Lest my research is wrong, it's not an issue of protein specifically
When you consume one source of calories as your primary source, your body uses that as its "go to" source. That's the biggest reason why high fat, low carb diet actually works. When you run out of calories from your most recent meal, your body easily switches to fat stores.
When you eat protein for your primary intake, your body will eat at muscle when it runs out of calories from the most recent meal.
But it is true that if you over-eat on a high protein diet, you will pee out any protein calories your body can't use to make ATP or new muscle tissue
I've been thinking about getting into martial arts lately, but I'm not sure what styles to look into. Any of you guys have any experience in this area??
Depends if you just want a way to work out or you want to learn to kick ass
At the moment I'm more focused on working out.
Try karate then. lol
Ok, what about for kicking ass?
muay thai
krav maga, systema
<:rubbetirub:550020519420755970>
muay thai, kickboxing
@SteamedHams I know some about martial arts
What are you looking for? One on one or multiple opponents? Offensive or defensive? Asian or Western? Weapons or hand to hand?
So there are a few places near me that teach martial arts. Main ones are BJJ, muay thai, and combat hapkido. I'm looking for something to improve general fitness but also provide some defensive skills as well.
I did competitive sport pistol shooting for 5 years, and wanted something more physical after i was done, after 5 years of shooting range I was left with a nasty back pain from shooting positions, lack of physical exercise, and weak back muscles, after a while I started doing muay-thai, the back pain that i had for a about more than a year dissapeared after 3 months, and im the best shape of my life rn
