not taking supps, eating whatever looks healthy in small portions, and doing HIIT 3x a week? I need to lose this weight but all I see is talk about supps and lifiting.. I dont have access to a gym and i can only run around my neighborhood. i'm 5'11 225lbs also
i checked out ballys and nysc (only gyms) they want over 50 a month.. nysc almost 80
does it matter knowing how much carb, protein, etc in grams i need to intake?
You will have more success than most here will and your wallet will be no lighter when you get done
If you eat 4-5 meals a day consisting of a portion of protein (6-8 egg whites/1-can tuna/etc) the size of a deck of cards and vegetables (at least one cup with each meal, up to all that you want) you will do just great. Actually better than great.
Avoid all sugars, breads, juices and the likes.
Otherwise eat whenever. Try not to eat to late in the evening and be sure to eat first thing in the morning.
Drink lots of water. A lot.
Don't run...unless of course you are being chased.
Walk, steady and fast for long distances of up to 60 minutes at a time. Put in the headphones and get in the zone.
If you are in the city walk around the block. Each lap drop and do push-ups till you max...and repeat it each lap. Next day do the same with pull-ups, repeat, etc.
You'll be good to go. If you want, take a multi-vitamin.
