Hi there

faolteam

im a 50 year old guy about 102 kg

i go to the gym do the thread mill for about 3.5 km
then i do the adominbal crunch and a couple of the sit down machines

was thinking of protein powder , was looking to just loose the belly and was wondering what people here might recommend

i find the Night time the worst i get peckish :eek:

I would look at your diet first. It is, almost certainly, what is preventing you from losing weight.

Read the stickies here on nutrition.

siochain

Yip, aim to have your nutrition clean, whey will only be adding more calories.

There is no need for protein powder.

Post up a typical daily diet and we can analyze it better.


All you need is a calorie deficit to lose the weight. Have you been 102kg for a long time? OR was it a recent weight gain? How tall are you?

roseybear

do what the previous posters are saying and at night if you find you're getting pekish go for a walk and see if you still are after, prob more bordem than hunger

hi again:

morning about 11 am , i would have 2 sticks celery, 8 pieces of cucumber,1 tomato, 1 slice meat,2oz cheese cheddar,

when i come home about 7 pm i would have a dinner roast chicken , 3 veg , small amount gravy,
then the problem i might eat some pea nuts, nibble some cheese cracker, might have a bowl cornflakes, maybe a biscuit aghhhhhhhhhh

This is because all you eat is this

You need to eat more then just water disguised as food, 1 piece of meat & cheese in the day. Your body is starving, even after dinner so you snack on whatevers available in the cupboard. If crap is all that's available that's what you're going to snack on!

Eat more good quality high protein food! Meat is your friend!

Oryx

How long have you been on this diet, and if it is recent what did you eat prior to it?

You need to start eating food...your 102kg = 224ish lbs
Your maintenance calories = roughly 3100 cals (Lyle McDonald)
-500 will give you a healthy sustainable 1lb of week
Eat 2,600 calories of food a day.
Stick to anything that use to run,fly,swim (or slither??)
Eggs, lots of eggs. Dairy if you can handle it...cut it out if not
Eat leafy greens & healthy veg
Avoid starchy ****e like rice,wheat,pasta. avoid grains
eat fruit but keep it to a small amount
Snack on healthy nuts & seeds!!
Lots of water!
Track calories on fitday or Myfitness pal or whatever!

metamorphosis

Jesus wept! Why are you treating your body like that!what you eat at 11am wouldn't feed a newborn baby!

Start eating, especially the post above, read it, digest it, work it our, Eat FOOD, read he stickies at the top of this forum, come back with questions

Nothing wrong with honey. As long as it sticks with your diet and calorie intake no problem.
