Are you currently doing daily cardio....? If not start...

What are you currently eating...?

How many times per week to you train with weights?

mithb

He said he don't wanna get muscles so why would be do weights?

And hey just keep a clean plain diet e.g.

Replace things such as coke with water
Whole meal bread pasta etc and also stick to lower fatty foods such as chicken. so make sure you keep your diet clean.

Do cardio workout's such as swimming, running a bit of football etc for 30Mins+ about 3 times a week maxium.

This should help you lose a lot of weight.

Weights can help burn additional calories and speed pu the metabolism afaik. Why stick to just low fatty foods? You need good fats in your diet so....

bogman

Yes - agree with Yeti. And when someone says they "don't want muscles" - I think they may often mean they don't want the BB look - but most people would like to look fitter and more toned - which in itself takes up to 6 months or more depending on your current condition. It will take years of hard work to get a BB'er type body?

mithb

Oh okie my bad. sorry I'm a newbie too lol i just couldn't understand why do weights if you don't want muscle.

Pscarb

mithb - a combination of weights and cardio will burn more calories than either one alone...plus a low fat diet is not the way to go....do you do a low fat diet?

Twisted - this is a bodybuilding forum so you will get advice on how to lose weight but using bodybuilding diets etc....so what exercise do you currently do?

Having been at my heaviest 19 stone of fat, having lost weight through traditional methods down to 13 & a half at my lightest, then putting weight back on & losing it AGAIN through bodybuilding diets

I can only say how much EASIER it is to lose weight through a bodybuilding style diet. Carb Cycling IS for me.... I can only say from my experience etc though

Twisted000 - look into carb cycling, also dont be afraid of weights.

Allot of people say "i'd like to do weights but I dont want to get massive"

That's a bit like me saying "I'd like to play sunday league football but I dont want to end up playing for Manchester United"

Or I'd like to start running on a Sunday but I dont want to compete at the olympics ;-)

Dont be scared of hitting the weights... you'll notice a quicker body change by hitting the weights & doing cardio than you would just doing cardio

best of luck duder
