this may be stating the obvious, but if you haven't already pondered it. it would be in your best interest to not care how much you can lose, and realize that the harder you try, the happier you will be with your results. just give it your all and you should be happy with the outcome.

Hey there
Well I do wanna lose the fat and am very dedicated to it, but I mean Im at 110 already. So I mean my weight is fine, I just want to lose the fat and gain muscle. I want it bad, but not at the risk of my health. I went through that phase of my life already. I on't think I'd ever want to lose anything remotely close to 30 lbs. Maybe 10 at the most. I have a small frame. And Im 5'3".....Im goign to see a dietician on Tuesday so we'll see. Hopefully I'll lose what I need before June.
LOL Im trying to get that Brooke Burke body by the end of the year (for those of you who watch tv)

Re: Re: Hey there
I have to agree, here. Dieticians are mainly focussed on the Food Pyramid style of eating, which is cool and all if you are an average person. Most dieticians are all about the moderation shtick. There's nothing wrong with that, but if you want to train, lose BF, and gain muscle, the kind of diet that seems to work best goes against almost everything nutritionists say! Depends on the person, though. If this dietician works with athletes and bodybuilders, he/she would probably have a better grasp on the dynamics of the diet.
Anyway, as for losing body fat. My advice is that, rather than focusing on the goal, you focus on the journey. Enjoy the experiment! It can be really fun. Don't get me wrong - results gooood! But if you set up an ideal, you are bound to be disappointed. Experiment with your diet and training and listen to your body's responses.
Good luck!

its me again
Okay if I did want to train like an athlete and wanted proper consultation as to the diet of an athlete, who else could I speak with about this other than this dietician?
P.S. thx for writing

With the exception of very up-to-date experts in this field, dieticians will tend to advise extremely high-carb, extremely low fat, and moderate-low protein - even for athletes! That said, an athelete will be expending large amounts of calories - much more so than the average trainee. Consequently, despite poor advice, athletes still look great as a function of the volume of training (and some handy genetics!).
For the beginner, the Body-for-life and Zone Diet plans are pretty well balanced and a good starting point. Both come in books and should point you in the right direction. Great for somebody in your situation

hey
So youre saying that a dietician will most likely put me on a high carb low cal diet? or are u speaking of just athletes? My friend went to one and he made him eliminate most of his carbs so I guess we'll see when I see her. I read a bit of The Zone when I was in the bookstore, but I cant follow the diet properly because I am allergic to a few basic foods, seafood, eggs and nuts (cept peanuts) I tried the Atkins thing, but it wasnt working out for me. Anyways, I think maybe I'll see what this dietician has to offer. I already booked an appointment so I might as well, because it will be personalized. Youre right though as far as the nutrition goes (Id like to lose a good 10 lbs in 2 mos. safely but effectively, and then after I achieve that goal I will move onto something more challenging.
