Diet/Excercise/Diet Pills

Ok so being a big guy I have finally come to the realization that I need to go on a diet, not because I care that I am overweight so much, its just when I get bored I eat, or just watch T.V. So i have decided to walk/run in that time which so far has allowed me to lose 8 pounds in a week.

I have also only had 2 sodas this week, and only drank water any other time. I have had this problem of going thru a 12 pack in 1-2 days which is BAD, so 2 in a week is freaking STELLAR for me.

I am trying to watch what I eat, but being a poor single male does not allow me much room to be "picky" especially since I live 35 minutes from my job, its not as easy to just pack a lunch and only eat that when you are gone from home for >10 hours.

I did want to know a couple things. Has anyone tried diet pills that actually worked for them? I am trying one, I forget the name, that is actually somewhat curving my appetite, but I would like one that helps me burn fat more then anything, and I mean assist me more then doing it itself of course.

Also what is the best excercise to get rid of man bewbies? I got some, I admit, they are nice to, but unfortunately when you have bigger ones then half the girls you meet you realize something is wrong with that picture...

I have been doing 50 push ups at once in a day *for a fat guy its hard, and alot* but I wanted to know if a certain rep/excercise helped to get rid of em.

Any advice is welcome/appreciated, thanks

Fatloss cannot result from the use of any supplement, unless there is a properly planned and dedicated caloric deficit. In other words, you have to take in significantly less calories than before. You must combine that with a systematic cardio program and exercise, which increases the metabolism.

But first comes the diet. You must eliminate bad carbs and replace them with good carbs. Good carbs are:

oatmeal
brown rice
lentils
sweet potato
whole wheat pasta

The most successful results come from a plan where you have determined all the macro data for the diet, for each meal(grams of protein, carbs, and fats), then ensuring that the day's total macros and carbs is in line with your target.

It is really not enough to just say "I stopped drinking soda", or "I stopped eating junk food". You gotta plan out the meal program completely and mathematically determine that it does achieve your target goal. You gotta stick with it.

There are also some behavior adjustments required, such as no carbs at all after 6 PM.

Finally, there is the cardio program. Pushups are insufficient. And there is no such thing as spot reduction(such as focussed fatloss on your chest). Fatloss is a full body process. There is no way to focus it on specific areas.

There have been several threads in this forum about fatloss and cardio.

But be assured, it is a tough road to change your body composition. Like quitting cigarette smoking, you must make your mind up to do the job and you must have a plan. There is no quick fix.
