I thought, and asked, the same a few weeks ago. After being told by so many "experts" about kickstarting metabolism the actual scientists have a different opinion. For some people if they skip breakfast they eat more for lunch and dinner. That's some people, do whatever is good for you though.

People knew you as a larger man. Slim garochester is strange after years of a fuller face. After a few months the normal will be reset. If you still feel you look gaunt then maybe it's time for a new haircut, sideburns, facial hair etc. Alao a good tan makes anyone look better, so safely get some colour or look at some…

That's a lot of exercise calories, are you counting every step as exercise, if so this is probably wrong. On average you're looking at 200 calories for a 30 min workout where you're panting and sweating. Are you really doing that much. Are you not drinking any calories, are you sure you are eating so little. Theres always…

Just keep going. You've done so well so far, you don't need to change anything yet. You're 25% through your journey

Are you logging properly with electric scales?

i6shot must have shares in keto diets. The link is obviously very biased and the diet is hard to keep long term. It will work but it's not for the majority of people.

Are you counting calories. Most people eat more after the gym or give themselves rewards for working so hard. So a zero sum activity if you don't count

12 pounds is 40,000 calories extra, possible but massively unlikely even if you have cake, wine and burgers. It should flush out with a day or 2 of healthy eating

You look like an athlete in the last 2 but in the hello kitty stuff you seem to have a little bit of excess on your tummy. I'd go with 21-23

CICO is the thing that works long term for most people. Don't listen to the minority of people who think fad diets are more successful than others and preach on about them endlessly. Eat 1500 calories a day, eat back half of your exercise calories, thus doesn't include normal activity such as walking around the office or…

That's a very high number for 2lb per week. Make sure you haven't overestimated your activity level, that's activity outside of exercise. Without knowing height, weight and job it's difficult to confirm. You could eat less calories and speed up your losses if you are not struggling with hunger.

Not too bad a plan. Pick up a set of dumbells from argos for £25 if you don't want to commit to a gym membership. Youll see the weight dropping pretty quickly. As you get fitter, you may want to swap the 5 mile walk for a jog if it's not your commute. That's aa lot of time and you may get bored. When the weather sucks find…

Deficit during the week Maintenance at weekends

You say your stomach goes past your belly. I don't understand this. Did you mean stomach goes past boobs? What ever you mean it sounds like you don't like your belly. This could be one of three things, fat, posture or skeletal. Obviously lots of fat means a big belly. But the stats you have shouldn't show this. My gf is…

There are certain types of people in every gym. Let the big guys lift big weights. Let the posers who skip leg day look in the mirror. Let the clueless people damage their backs with poor form. Let those who want to lose weight get on with it and maybe make a gym buddy.

Are you trying to eat by all the exercise calories, if so you can and probably should drop that to 50%. So for a 30min p90x session you should be recording around 100cal in aerobic exercise given you look reasonably small already. If you still struggle, chocolate

You can believe the one person who had it work or the thousands that didn't. There are people out their who swear homeopathy cures cancer. I'd go with the scientific evidence.

Too many variables, your salt levels mean you could put on a few pounds of water weight, if you're female your monthly cycle could add a few pounds.

Unfortunately for you the insulin that is provided is based on a normal diet. Until you see a doctor I would recommend you sticking to a balanced diet including carbs otherwise you could start damaging organs whilst you get your sugars under control. Why do you want that diet, do you find it hard to lose on a healthy…

Just no. This is backwards and will make you gain. Your body also doesn't need different diet every day as long as the eight nutrients are present. If you drop below 1200 for a prolonged time, your body may react to it. Poor skin, hair and nails, cold hands and feet, missing periods. This is the starvation mode most…

Firstly, congratulations, your before and after pics are a great example. Hopefully you're enjoying your exercise and it sounds like a varied program. Just watch the post exercise munchies and portion size. It's quite natural to feel you deserve a bigger portion or Mars bar because you're feeling a bit wobbly.

Fruit smoothies are liquid sugars that get digested quickly leaving you hungry in no time. Sometimes more calorie dense that sugary fizzy drinks. As a diabetic my mum has chocolate, lucosade or orange juice when the wobbles set in. I have no idea where the OP lives but there's plenty of Asian countries who have a very good…

1000 calories a day would make the laziest of people lose weight, I mean sit at home watching TV and barely move from the sofa. You are consuming far more and like most people, don't realise it. Just because you eat a "healthy" salad for lunch doesn't mean it's low calorie, a "portion" of leaves with noodles, fatty meat…

Google doesn't diagnose blood pressure, a doctor or nurse does. But what your really saying is that not eating and exercising is causing you to feel dizzy. That doesn't need a rocket scientist or even a doctor to see the problem. It takes a while for the body to get used to any change. IF is drastic as the body needs to…

Not going to sugar coat it, he needs to wake up and join this century. He's trying to live the life he had before kids. Well, guess what, he's got them.

As for dehydration, I drink 6 pints of water a day plus milk, coffee, soup etc. so I'm pretty certain it isn't that.

I only count when I hit 11 stone. Which is my bmi25 weight. I generally fluctuate from 10.5 to 11 which is fine for me. I'm trying to increase strength, stamina and general fitness and maybe lower fat%, but could easily pack on some fat if this keeps going more than a day or 2.

Eat as explained above. Do exercise you enjoy, personally fitness dvds are torture for me but do them when I can't cycle or climb. Thats all the plan you need. Eat better, sweat more. Cravings and laziness are what will stop you.

Are you eating your exercise calories? Someone else was saying they were getting high calorie burns from a polar device. What are you doing and how long?

I went the vaping route. Lung capacity is massively improved after a month. I got into crazy levels of vaping though, 18mg and constantly at it and panicking if my batteries were running low. Have managed to get of the ecigs as well now. 5 years smoke free and lungs feel so much better. You can do cardio when you smoke but…
