Run six miles every morning, end your run with a 30 minute calisthenics workout.

i don't have time to go out so i run on the spot in the bathroom - 800 to 1000 steps, i do some free arm exercises and 10 squats to finish off. i just started the exercise part though.

3 days so far...how many steps is equivalent to a mile?

not the parboiled brown rice that guyanese usually cook.

you have to cook it a lil longer...but the stuff is really good.....for whatever reason it is less starchy.

I had one .. a small manual one.. great workout. Needed the space and had to throw it. One of the bigger ones is on my wish list for the new house... plus a universal weight machine. Gonna get buffed in my ole age.

Don't worry about running. You need to walk 3miles every other day - or every day if you can.

Weight loss is effective when you adjust your eating.

25% of exercise is attributed to weight loss

75% is what you eat.

adjust your eating, work out moderate but consistent and you will see massive results.

Good Luck.

Carbs should be eaten ONLY in the morning and try to keep that every other day if you can. Dinner should be small and light.

Eat lots of green veggies, cut out starch/carbs, 7ozs protein and lots of water. I did that for 5 weeks, lost 22lbs. Good luck.

Don't be ridiculous! Guyana has the most fresh of produce! Try not to eat refined foods such as: white sugar, white flour, white rice. As much as you can manage, brown sugar, rice, and bread. Unprocessed everything...and lots of greens, moderate protein, fish and little carbs.

Do not attempt to tell me you cannot do that. Because if you do not try to buy the good items there is no point in dieting. Continue eating garbage.

I don't eat fish, not much fruits either.

Here's what I'm doing so far:

Breakfast - whole wheat bread, tennis roll or biscuit with saussage (max 180 cal), tea/coffee no milk or sugar

Lunch - same as breakfast most days with either a cup of dhal.

Sometimes I would eat a puri or a very small portion of rice with chicken curry or some vegetable (this is like once per week)

Dinner - boil provision (plantain, sweet potato, potato, eddo) or whole wheat roti with some type of chicken stew/curry.

I drink about 3 to 4 cups of tea during the day - no milk and sugar

I will stick to this as much as possible only weekends I'll relax a bit.

sometimes I would use chowmein (chinese mostly) to replace one of the lunch or dinner.
