Eat less, excercise more.

You will stand a much higher chance of success if you don't try to rush it, so stop trying to do it in the minimum amount of time.

It took time to get your lardass out of shape. It will take time to get it back into shape.

Even on a vegetarian diet, you can still put on weight. It's all in the calories you consume versus the calories you spend.

Starving yourself can screw up your bodys metabolic rate (the amount of calories you burn per day just by existing) so don't do that.

The more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate. So any exercises that build muscle will be good for you.

Your diet should consist of lean proteins, complex carbohydrates, and poly-unsaturated fats. You can safely consume about 30% of your daily intake from each of those food groups. It doesn't have to be a low fat or low carb diet. Just eat the right kinds of fats and the right kinds of carbs.

The average male your age burns 2500 calories a day. So start with a diet of 2000 calories a day, and stick with that for a month. You should lose about 4lbs of fat, doing that. (500 calories a day, 3500 calories a week, which is 1lb of fat).

If that works out for you, then stick at that level. If you're not losing that weight, then increase your daily exercise regime slightly, and come down to 1900 calories a day. Try another few weeks. Adjust slowly, until you find the right spot at which you kick off weight loss. And then stick with that until you're done. Don't try adjusting further to speed up the weight loss. That will only screw things up for you.

The number one reason most people fail, is because they want to do it all, quickly, in one go. They don't understand that this is a long term project, and change in life-style. Not a 3 week fad.

Do it slowly and do it right.

Even eating too much on a vegetarian diet can still make you fat. And exercise increases your total daily calories burnt.

Find out how many calories you are eating per day, by tracking EVERYTHING you eat. If it's much above 2000, try cutting back a little. Then start working out!

Don't starve yourself or do any crash diets.

Just eat sensibly. Don't eat crap food and on't stave. If you do that while pushing yourself to workout

Even though the bulk of weight loss is how you eat and nutrition, you can't not exercise.

Keep in mind too that just because you eat a vegetarian diet doesn't mean you are eating healthy. I would suggest adding in SOME animal products such as dairy and fish.

You could also use a free online calorie counter such as this site - www.caloriecount.com

That way you can keep track of your food and be sure that you are eating the correct amount of calories and nutrients .

It's all about eating healthy and getting out and exercising. Even if it's just walking at first... walking burns more calories than you think it does. Go jogging, do ab workouts to target that stomach fat you don't want

[krazzyfour36]

Any effective exercise that I can do at home?

[Alice8]

There's plenty! Have a tredmill? Go jogging or walking on that. For ab exercises, do sets of sit ups. Look online for videos, I'm sure you'll find lots

Jumping jacks, running in place even works. 8 count body builders. youtu.be/TxQT-wZdP28

Dude, you can't lose weight from starving yourself of nutrients. That way your body will go into "starvation mode" and just hang onto as much fat as it can, as it thinks you're in a famine.

Read up a little bit more on nutrition and you'll find that eating a balanced diet of fats (omega 3 and SOME omega 6) , carbs (NOT empty crap like spaghetti or white bread), protein(grass fed meat, eggs or soy bean products) and some sugars are essential.

What you're putting yourself through is a nutritional famine, which induces the symptoms of an actual famine. It's also probably stressing you out and that's probably also causing your skin problems.

I've been where you are, but if you eat properly, and you don't take short cuts, you'll get there. I'd recommend "John Gabriel Diet" for you. His book has a lot of all this information compacted into a small book.

Good luck.

dont deprive yourself of foods, like meat and fruits. make sure you eat enough. cardio is essential to weight loss, in the wild we were meant to be long distance runners. we werent made to be stuck in office cubicles. strength training and toning helps a lot to

Drink more water! Sometimes when you're feeling hungry, it's because you're dehydrated!

Get more sleep

Combine cardio with weight training

Eat pepper (it increases metabolism)
