I've been looking to lose some weight and get in better shape lately, but don't really have ready access to a gym because of life circumstances. Figured I'd throw this out there and ask for some advice about working out at home to lose weight with no equipment. I mean there's the obvious push ups, situps, etc. But I'm more looking for advice on how many sets/repetitions, how many days a week, etc. Obviously I plan on dieting a bit as well, but any advice or some kind of link/graphic showing a few basic workout plans would be appreciated.
I figure this post can help some others in the same situation as well given a lot of us want to get in better shape to prepare, but don't have access to the best facilities, and whatnot.
There is a lot of good advice in these comments. Diet is definitely 90% of losing weight..working out is supplemental. The best way you can eat is to only have meat, eggs, raw dairy, fruit and honey. Aim for 1lb of meat for every 100lbs of target body weight per day. - so if goal weight is 175lbs then eat 1.75 lbs of meat per day. Beef is ideal (for many reasons) Saturated fat is your friend. You want to remove sugar, flour, and all seed oils from your diet. These foods are toxic. If you focus on having that much meat per day, you'll find that you're never hungry and somehow the lbs are still melting away. Your body will eventually stabilize at its optimal weight, and because of all the protein you eat you'll put on muscle mass without even having to work out (seriously). My breakfast every day is 1lb of ground beef with 5 eggs over it..then in the afternoon I eat some beef liver and will have a steak or do up some taco meat and have no shells with it. I've eaten this way for a couple years now. The initial transition can be a bit tough, but you'll end up feeling the best you've ever felt. Because of how nutritious the food you're eating is you'll find you don't have cravings anymore. It's hard to explain until you experience it for yourself. I hope this helps. Good luck in your efforts fren. We're here for you and know you will succeed.
