Please Post here and give me your knowledge.

Thanks for your time.

ok dude here u go...this is my post from another forum but it deals with everything i would like to add here
there r some terrible indian ways to do it...but they helps...
1. drinking water will help u but now i ask u to drink at least one cup of little warm(it should felt like warm, not hot) every hour or so till u dont' sleep
2. in morning when u wake up drink warm water, one lemon + two spoon of pure honey(if u can get one otherwise don't use honey) before freshing up n after that do ur excercise...
3. when every u do excercise do it (basically cardiac ones) for 20 minutes at least n don't skip any day.
4. running will give u good results as against to jogging...n brisk walking will give good results too(close to jogging) i think jogging should be avoided..
5.there r some good tips for running in runnersworld.co.uk
6. avoid red meat as much as possible

i m 5,10 n around 80 kgs(around 4 kg overwiehgt)
for average 5,10 male the weight can go around 72-76,77 kgs..
1 kg = 2.5 pounds
trimming waist belt(luv packs) is not easy...it's contious excercise(at least 20 min) daily will help u

when it comes to juices(sweetned or none) i prefer fresh fruit juices to it rather than canned ones... u can stay away from grains completely but u hav to compensate ur diet, in this part of world(asia) grains n cereals n milk products r necessary...better use brown bread than using white bread(brown bread hav lesser calories)
about vegetables, steamed vegetables doesn't loose much nutritional value as compared to fresh ones, if u wanna prefer Veg Diet then u should look for more sea food in ur diet or follow the oriental way

as i said if u can't drink water make it lemon juice just add some salt with it(no sugar plz, can add honey) it's different than the above i described(no luke warm water here)i hav heard that Lemon acts as a catalyst...n hav first hand expereince too

about fasting the one thing u should remember when u r fasting u can hav at least fruit juices n after fasting start with mild food(don't go n eat up meat, option would be sea food)

about eating habbits in cultures...we hav totally different eating habbits...so from my point of view i give u any idea it won't be that good...u can try with "Hit trial n error" formula or anyone from ur area who was in ur situation(but still u r totally different individual)
sometimes don't stop those temptations but make sure u work hard for that(add more excercise )
for some energy needs eat lots of sprouts too...

I suppose that's wat we call a complete solution to lose weight :D

As for me I focus like hell on my stomach exercises.

Also streching will maybe help in getting rid of those love handles......

And remember to train for endurance, like doing dips or sit-ups in record time, they will help burn up all that fat.....

Just my 2 cents....

actually my post is answers asked by 4 different ppl on another forum, so i collected all my answers :D...anyways when u r doing cardiac exercise for at least 20 min u don't need much for endurance...

Run Run Run. Can't beat it for weight loss. Long slow distance. Check out the Runners World Website- Newrunner section. They have an excellent starter plan to follow. It works- I know firsthand.

Or you can swim. It's not as boring as running.

run run run. but NOT long distance, sprinting. H.I.I.T. has worked wonders for my endurance/body fat %.
try 3 400m sprints with 90s rests, add reps or decrease rest periods every week.
