err genetics, metabolism and age... you're also like what 14-15 with parents who are paper thin? I had heavy parents but I was pretty active because I didn't want to turn out that way. That was until 24-25 when I started riding the desk. That's about the same time the weight started to pack on. My activity dropped off, my…
I used to fight in muay thai bouts when I had more time to train and such, but a few important notes that helped me become and stay super lean: Exercise: Well duh :P just try to stay away from slow, long jogs and such. I used to measure my workout by how out of breath and how sweaty I was after 5 min. Chill out for a bit,…
Right after college I started working a desk job doing package tracing for an international shipping company, off topic, but always fill out the entire form damn it. Back to topic. Decided I was a fat load of s- and started doing research. After 2 months of busting my ass I dropped 100~ pounds and 20% body fat, at the…
I gained 3 stone while freelancing, at Xmas I decided to watch what I eat, exercise more and just be healthier. I think stress and comfort eating had alot to do with it, I also didn't realise how much exercise I used to do in a day compared to being stuck at home all day.

By that time you have already overeaten. - Try not to eat while on the computer or TV. - Drink plenty of water, especially before meals ( drink a nice chalice before eating ). Really…
Ruz: be careful of starvation diets like that. The lack of regular food may make your body more succeltsble to storing fat when you do eat, as the metabolic message you're sending is that food is somewhat scarce. Also include some source of protien with your meals. Without adequate protein the weight you loose may be…
Holden's gonna come in here and kick your ass! Basically, even 3 meals a day makes your body think you're starving so it fritters away every calorie it can get and stores it as fat. I've gained 40lbs since getting into game dev, it's pretty much lack of activity - I don't eat great but I don't eat terrible either. OH yeah,…

I am 23 now and I can see…
