i want to lose weight

[mrhtbd]

Matt, take it easy, bro, the guys are really trying to help you.
Tell you what, how about you writing your weekly diet for us. Then we can see where the weight is coming from and we will help you that way. Many diet programs start with a listing of your weekly calories. Let's start there, and enough of this nonsense, if you are on Govt. assistance there's nothing wrong with that. But let's start with your diet where it is now.
Also, how much weight do you want to lose and how soon?
Personally, when I want to lose weight I start by eating tuna fish 5 or 6 times a day for 3 days and nothing else. Then I gradually add low calorie foods like cottage cheese, salad (no dressing ever) and so on. Another big thing I recommend is to take metamucil capsules (3 or 4) at bedtime. These help your digestive system by increasing fiber.
Waiting for your weekly food intake...

instead of having protein shake in the morning(although nothing wrong with it) have 6 egg whites and oatmeal for meal 1 and then for meal 2 have some sort of lean meat...
make us a list of your diet menu now...and then we can alter it for ya....
MAKE US A LIST OF FOODS THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY EAT FOR THE WEEK AND THEN WE CAN ALTER IT TO YOUR GOALS....O.K.?

Matt, you have been given a lot of good advice here....as well as a lot of nonsense. I just went through the thread and deleted all the goofy posts and left the advice posts to make it easier for you. You are always welcome here bro. Please don't let anyone scare you away from posting

[matbla]

i might leave i just a a smiply question and no really answered it like the food list but i want in a menu form your all great keep up the good you all .. you all are my friend give yourself a pat on back or give yourself a hug and do not forget to keep the help coming from matt blake

[TheChosen1]

ATTENTION

matt is a good guy there wont be ANY negative comments made to him .
IS THAT UNDERSTOOD

While I agree with you, DaDawg, my feel on this matter is.........Regardless, Matt is asking for help and that's what we're here to give. THERE SHOULD BE NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS PERIOD. This isn't a forum for judgements.

Now to the matter at hand, I'm with you Matt. I'm actually bigger than you, bro. How is your cardio workouts? I would suggest devoting 20 minutes (at least) a day for 3-4 days a week doing a good cardio, in addition to your martial arts training. That's what I'm doing and it seems to be kicking bodyfat's ass big time.

Matt, follow the menu Irish posted and cut out the protein shakes if you want.. It doesn't matter but if you eat clean like that with no cheating there is no way you won't lose wait at your bf%. You don't need
times for the meals just space them out through out your day. No carbs at night. Mainly just cut calories if you don't feel you need all 8 meals per day eat 6 or 4 for that matter it won't kill you.

You can do 4 meals if the goal is weight loss

breakfast- 4-6 egg whites and oatmeal
snack- turkey and 2 slices of whole grain bread
lunch- chicken breast and brown rice
dinner- can of tuna and steamed broccoli

that is how I would eat if I was your size, I wouldn't worry about loosing muscle mass till I was down to around 15-18%. Just cut the cals. and get ready to feel hungry all day.

Matt bro I use shakes during my contest prep you can use them in the mornings and postworkout while cutting this is what i do.

Matt, check your email, I've sent you your diet. It doesn't have times on when to eat as I don't know your lifestyle. You can add these yourself after you print it out. Get back to me if there's any more help you need.
