You might not be expectin this from a guy but.... How do I lose weight easily?

[dusty_bro]

I am 16, 5'11 and 160-170 pounds(haven't weighed recently).

I am starting the notice the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle(fat stomach, beginnings of double chin, love handles, crappy at physical activities). I am beginning to think less of myself. I don't really have time or money to join a gym. And please don't tell me to join a sport.

What are some easy workouts I can do?

Much appreciated

Also, gaining muscle would be cool too. :P

Youtube has some excellent videos you can do for working out at home. You can purchase a chinup bar that goes in a door frame for a few bucks. Doing situps and pushups doesn't require any equipment. Running outside for a half mile or two will give you some needed cardio.

You should also drink at least four quarts of water a day and get to bed earlier rather than later, as both help you drop weight. Last but not least, slowly rid your diet of all junk food. If you can't do it all at once, start with one favorite snack that needs to go and substitute it for carrots or some other healthy food. Do all of the above and within a month or two you'll see some serious results.

Here's to the skinnier version of you!

Thanks, I'll try this. How long would this take to, say, drop 10 pounds do you think.

Assuming you do all of the above, I'd say within 1-3 months. At your age, probably sooner rather than later. The key is to write down all of your habits that you wish to form and check them off. Once you get in a routine, you're unstoppable.

Thanks for the best answer! If you need anything else, that forum is a great asset, or feel free to private message me. Glad to be of service.

Regarding gaining muscle, you need to eat plenty of lean protein. Think tuna fish, chicken, protein powder mixes and eggs. If you lift weights (I know you don't want to go to a gym, but if you buy a few or loan them from a friend) make sure you lift heavier stacks for fewer reps! Lifting lighter weights for more reps won't bulk you up.

There's a ton of info there to get started with.

i think just working on cardio is a great step, cardio works your entire body because its using up energy from your fat cells as your body does work and those fat cells are getting burned. cardio can be anything that works your heart and leaves you out of breath, fast walking, jogging, running, going up stairs, jumping jacks, jumprope, swimming, etc fat is a storage of energy so in order to spend that reserved bank account of fat, you have to make your body do work and get it tired, and not re-introduce new fat into the body by eating bad food.

Ok, so to lose weight, about 70% of it is how you are eating. The best thing to do is make a long term change in your lifestyle habits, otherwise you will just gain all the weight back. For your food changes the most important thing is to discontinue the eating of all fast food and remove all junk food from your home. Losing weight is a long term change and just going on a diet isn't going to do anything. To speed up the weight loss and gain muscle tone you should just start exercising however you would like, but just start moving.

Just google it. The simplest would be walking but there are tons of simple exercises you can do at home. Most importantly is you need to watch your eating habits. Cut down the carbs and red meats. For me I could cut down weight just by controlling what I eat, exercising is if I want lose fat and gain muscle.
