Jeff my boy.. this is what u are gonna do..
, get your pen and paper and take these notes down! first off, I use to be quite heavy as well! soon as I got to high school I took a look in the mirror and said.."thats it! time to get buff!" now I am lean and starting to get serious with bodybuilding:) But now its time to help u!!! Ok, First off you have to talk to your parents and ask them very sincerly not to buy fatty foods. a normal average day intake of fat should be no more than 15 to 20 grams of fat. when looking at food, look at the grams of fat on the lable. if it does not have a lable with fat content.. DONT EAT IT!! DONT! unless u know it is very healthy. NEXT, when eating, try to eat only fruits, vegetables, whole grains(%100 whole weat bread) beans, and protein. lots of protein! not only will eating the above selection of foods help because they are low in fat, but they also burn fat!!! what else is good about them? you can eat as many vegtables and fruits as you want! as many! they also have lots of fiber, whats good about that you say? fiber tricks your mind into thinking you are full!!! now.. when u eat protein, try to eat alot of fish.. but low fat fish! try eating tuna.. but try getting tuna or fish with less than 1 gram of fat per tin. it is much better for u! if you don't like fish, eggs are very good, but try to eat only about 4 a week, try swithing up the protiens. chicken is good too, but try getting low fat chicken. Also.. see about getting a protien supplement. you can get them at vitamen stores..they give u big mucsles! now.. milk and chees is very important too.. but only low fat cheese and skim milk! now.. about excersising, if you eat all the above iteams I told u about, and excersise too.. you will not only burn off fat, you will get leaner too! now.. try thinking of the best looking boy in school.. dont u wish you were with him?? NO! cause you are going to look better! and will not give him the time of day when you get lean and mean! keep motivated by using that and music as a booster. Now.. to when u exercise, you should add weights into your routine.. why? cause muscle burns fat, when you lift weights, you are helping to burn fat more! try doing weights 3 times a week and cardio 5 times. I know it seems like alot.. but after a while, you will enjoy it :) now, if you dont have a stairmaster, jogging is the next best, but if you dont think that you can run.. then walking is fine. when you walk, try walking for 30 min a day 5 times a day, then each week, build up the time by 5 or 10 min. after a while, start jogging or running. it is important to do weights before any cardio. Ok.. well I hope I have helped u! if you want a criteria for weights, or anything else, give me an email at primedesignemail@aol.com or, if you have icq, my pager # is 91226794 ok! good luck Jeff.
