Back up to 80.2kg this week. No power for 3 days as a bit disruptive to the routine.

In my experience (at least), diet plays 90% of a role, and exercise 10%. I was doing crossfit daily, eating big meals, because you know, "I are like exercising", and lost buggerall in the process in 2 years. Only once I cut my portions by 75%, did I start losing weight.

I agree with your experience and practice,90 percent of over weight comes from food specifically sugar related food
 
Hey Guys, starting to diet this weak in an attempt to loose +- 6 kg in 10 weeks. I exercise about 4-5 week so mainly want to focus on healthy eating Monday - Friday. Download the Fat Secret app to track my calories per day. A mate calculate my gram allowance of Protein, Fat and Carbs per day but the Carbs seems really low. Any idea of a calculate you can recommend ? (Did use google but found a big difference between the website)

I'd recommend a calorie deficit mon to sun.
Lots of people fall into the trap of eating well Mon to Fri and blow their progress (and sometimes even regress) with sat and sun.

Thanks going to try this new system for 4 weeks if I don't see any real progress will then change to a Mon to Sun system. Don't really eat that unhealthy think the issue is more the balance of my diet and portion size

Portion size is key. I ate lots of mostly healthy food for a long time and struggled to lose weight.
Cut my portion sizes down significantly and started losing weight.
In the beginning I struggled with portion sizes but after about 2 weeks I got fuller a lot quicker and it was easier.
I would say have one cheat meal per week(normal size portion ie dont smash 2 pizzas in one sitting and say its one meal) and follow program Mon-Sun.

You have stick on true advise

Cutting meals is the best rather than emphasizing exercise

Diet is more effective than exercise in terms of losing weight but exercise is still important for maintaining good health and a level of fitness. Strength, mobility, cardiovascular fitness and body composition are also important components of good health. A sedentary lifestyle is now recognised as a major risk factor right up there with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, smoking, obesity etc.

Diet and exercise complement each other and we should all strive for good habits in both.

Agreed when I first started losing weight cutting meals was easier but you hit a spot where it doesn't go much further.

Once I started training seriously (running 30-50km per week) my eating habits changed by them self. I didn't want fast foods and started leaning towards healthier things because I got more energy out of them.

Really weird I had probably eaten maybe 20 apples in 10 years and since I started training I eat 2 bags of apples a month.

Currently I'm running 50-100km per week and its ridiculous how much I have to eat just to maintain my 72kg's, Works out to 20 000 calories a month on top of what I was eating. Other then pizza night every two weeks (which makes me feel yuck) I don't eat unhealthy.

Still cant believe this little thread two years ago lead me down a life changing rabbit hole.
 
A bit better this week. 79.2kg - Did quite a good HIIT workout on Thursday that I think helped get things moving in the right direction.
 
80.5kg this week. second part of last week was a bit of train smash for diet and exercise.
 
There is something interested on this thread

Most of the participants are concetrating on physical exercise

Cutting food no
