Advice Needed

wilco

im 19 and i am 5ft 7 i weigh 11.5 stone and i've basically still in the process of losing weight after i went to 14 stone which on a 5ft 7 lad looks quite big

im a stone overweight and i want to lose it and currently my jogging has sort of stopped losing weight now even though i do 4 miles running everyday which probably doesnt sound alot but it did the trick for me for a while

i basically still have lovehandles and a bulge on the old belly, my confidence is very low which makes it hard to even chat up a girl (10months without even a kiss...)

what i really need is a routine + supplements to help the process of it all if anyone can give me some advice i would appreciate it

try doing your jogging on an empty stomach in the morning , this seems good for me,

sounds like u lost alot of weight already , pretty impressive good luck

Many people have suggested exercise on an empty stomach.
Try some abs exercises too, sit ups, the bycicle, jane fonda's etc.

If your after supplements, then the only thing i can think of for burning fat is Weider fat metabolisers. don't know how effective they are.

Also, if you don't already do this, then eat your meals at a planned time everyday. When your body knows when it's next meal is going to be, it doesen't need to store as much fat

I'm sorry, but that's just not right.

Your body's propensity to store fat has nothing to do with it thinking it's 6pm not 5pm. Factors like the time of the day (how fast your metabolic rate is going), what type of food you are eating (high or low GI?), and insulin sensitivity are all factors which DO count.

In terms of dropping fat, from my experience during my current cut, HIIT on an empty stomach is the king of fat loss cardio - try it for a week and you should see a significant difference.

Also, spot reduction is a complete myth - doing crunches or sit-ups will NOT make your stomach smaller (it could even get bigger). The factor to make your abs visible is your body fat level. Get it low enough, the abs will appear and your love handles will be a thing of the past.

solid advice razg

weider fat metabolisers are crap as are most supplements in this category. Ignore this advice. Look up the backlog of posts and run a search on ephedra or ephedrine and take a look. Im relatively new to the board but I'm sure there will be many.

TT is correct, ephedrine (although I don't use it) is probably the only legit cutting aid without going into quite serious things like clenbuterol.

Post up your routine in terms of eating & training - see if we can give a bit of useful critique.

Well that answers my question too lol (qoute myself: don't know how effective these are)

I agree with the other guys on this, exercise!

I used these for 3 months last summer, and combined with a small dose of creatine, good diet, good cardio and training i lost over 2 stone and it totally transformed my life and got me into bodybuilding.

I can't put it down to weider fat metabolisers, and even if they are a placebo, i certainly felt the benefits of the whole lot !

i dont really have a routine other than doing a 4 mile jog every night

razg

In that case, post what you eat.

Weight training and adding muscle would go a long way towards acheiving your goal of a better body, and it will also make you burn more calories by default.
