Howdy everybody.
First off I’m a totally noob here. I’m looking to loose fat and build muscle. About 5 years ago I had my right patella shattered in the Air Force. I have had 4 surgeries to fix my issue. So 5 years later and almost 200lbs heaver I want to find a way to loose it. I’m 6’1” about 375lbs large build and no clue on measurements.
I have read that the key is to loose it slowly. That’s fine. Of course faster would be nice but I want to do this right.
My first big question is that I keep seeing people talk about eating clean. Could somebody please give me some tips on this? Like what kinds of foods to eat. And maybe some good ways on how to cook it if needed. I know I should eat 5 or 6 small meals a day. So any help here would be great.
I have also seen lots of talk on taking fat burners. I have a co-worker that is swearing by Venom. I have seen mixed posts on this product. I know I should take something but I’m just not to sure which one.
Next, I know that the more muscle I have the more calories I will burn, even at rest. So do I also want to build muscle as I’m trying to loose the fat? If so do I want to take something like Mega-TRN or Mega-ZOL? So I want to start trying to powerlift?
I will be getting with a trainer at the gym I have joined so he/she will be able to help me figure out my cardio and weights. I’m sure I will be asking for tips in the weight lifting to some day.
I plan on trying to hit the gym 5 times a week. I am working on changing my schedules so I can go first thing in the morning since I see that people say that would be the prime time to burn fat.
So what everything comes down to is that I want to become a lot healthier but I don’t want to blow my heart. I can’t go to my family doctor because I know he will say this is all a bad idea and to do everything the old fashioned way. If I can get any help, tips whatever to point me in the right direction so I can run with it would be greatly appreciated.
