Does anyone know a weight loss strategy???

[Fenny]

Hi, I am 23 years old and have been gaining on pounds and this is getting to me. The thing is that after several efforts of exercise and dieting, I don’t seem to get any slimmer! There are many ways to lose weight, but I have exhausted all the ways I know. I have consulted a few people but all of them have been telling me the same thing. It isn’t helping me and only making my fears worse.

Is there some way to make me feel better!!!

Diet is the key. You DO NOT have to eat only 1000 cals, eat nothing but salad or anything like that. If you have a high bodyfat %, then just eating healthy foods will make you drop fat. Doing cardio is important too. Lifting weights will help a lot. Moving weights requires energy, which burns cals, and muscle burns more cals than fat when resting.
Give us some more info on yourself so we can help you more.

And eating healthy can taste damn good too. NeedtogetAAS is a professional chef and has a cookbook with some great tasting food, shakes, and bars and its all healthy. I got it, easy to use and is worth way more than the price.

I know you've heard it before but, diet really is gonna be what makes or breaks you. if your main focus is cutting then i would keep carbs below 200 grams a day for 6 days a week and 1 day under 100. 30-45 minutes cardio 3-5 days a week, no carbs at all before cardio just drink 20-30 grams of whey with some aminos. try to consume all your carbs on the first 2 or 3 meals of the day. consume at least 50g fast digesting carbs after weight training. other than that keep the rest complex, whole wheat bread or pasta, brown rice.
Kashi makes some good cereals. fiber one is a good cereal too and it will keep you feeling full longer. obviously keep a high protein intake.
If your really serious just don't eat ANY crap, ie. fast food, soda, fried foods, sugary drinks (watch those liquid cals.) fatty food. stick with lean meats (chicken, turkey, tuna, also eggs). just don't cheat and keep cardio consistent. when you think your ready you can throw in a NO carb day every once in awhile to empty out your glycogen stores. but thats very hard when your weight training.

It might be helpful if you gave us a quick run down of some of the stratagies you've tried. Maybe some of them were useful, but perhaps you made one tiny flaw somewhere that threw you off. Maybe they were horrible ideas, but we'll never know unless you gives us a little history and info. Also add the time that you spent with each stratagy (as in: I did ______ for three months, and nothing happened).
