High protein,low carb. Avoid highly sweetened beverages. This includes soda,energy drinks and the like.

Track down a copy of Michael and Mary Dan Eads “The Protein Power Plan”. Its better than Dr Atkins.

Adam,

Your going to have to Control the amount of carbs in which you intake. On your workouts your going to have to go for Fat Burning vs Cardio.

You have to keep up your heart rate in your target heart rate which depending on your age you can find out via google.

As far as what you can do, I will break down a routine for you which worked for me. In 2005 I was over 350.. I am now down to 225 and extremely happy. Although I think im going to lose an addition 25 lbs t stay at about 200 lbs.

I will break it down for workout routine as well as eating schedule second part of the answer.

Monday – 15 minutes warm up, 100 Crunches, Arms, Shoulders & Chest, Swim 20 Laps then 25 Minutes of Cardio

Tuesday – 15 Minutes of Warm up, 100 Crunches, Legs & Back, Swim 20 Laps & 30 Minutes of Cardio

Wednesday – 15 minutes of warm up, Swim 40 Laps, 15 Minutes of Cardio

Thursday – Rest

Friday – 15 Min of Cardio, Arm, Chest, Shoulders & Crunches, Swin 20 Laps, 20 Minutes of Cardio

Saturday – 15 Min of Cardio, Legs, Back & Crunches, 45 Minutes of Cardio

Sunday – Rest

You don’t have to follow it to a T, but that is a simple guideline that was developed for me.

As far as diet goes, what I did was I went to Sams club and bought some chick brest. Cooked them up with some Olive Oil, Garlic and I froze them. I would make my sides such as Rice, Stove Top and Veggies.

I understand it may not be what your use to, but to lose weight and build your body it takes sacrifices.

I had no medical procudure to lose the weight, I did it because I didn’t like the person I saw in the mirror. I kept my original ballys membership with my fat picture on it to remind me of who I once was.

I feel really bad today though, I didn’t get an oppurtunity to make it to the gym. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a message a good friend of mine is a personal trainer and without his assistance I couldnt have accomplished it.
