1. Eating-Im 30 days in paleo. Love it. Im considering lowering the amount of meat intake and upping the vegetable intake. My vegetables are zucchini, asparagus and romaine lettuce. My meat is chicken 90% of the time 3x per day and 10% steak. I cant eat fish.
2. I train 2 days on 1 off. 1 bodypart and then interval sprints cardio. Id like a routine where I can burn calories on a daily basis. (take off College Football Saturday)
My goal is DEFINITELY NOT to build muscle. I am 276 pounds at the moment, 6 feet tall. Body composition change, fat loss, if theres weight loss fine are my absolute goals. Enclosed is a recent pic of me at 278, but I dont care what I weight. I just want to be more fit as I approach my 50th birthday.

Stay in a daily calorie deficit.
You look like shit.

Why lower meat intake why not eat more meat since a little is good so then alot will be even better
A little bit of meat is not good nor is alot
More veggies the better

You can get this for $8 on amazon....might not be what you're looking for, but I did it for seven weeks and fat melted. You can also add your own sprint type cardio if you felt it necessary. I believe it's like 6 days a week.

hmmm I never knew I could go from looking like complete shit to looking great in 30 days
I hope I still look like shit after 30 days or I would probably need cancer or aids to lose the weight

Give up.
Admit total failure.
Kill yourself

Well....the other option was to say you look like Shizzo with Down's Syndrome.
And I didn't want to be THAT mean.

at your age, i would recomend upping your cardio alot
like doing two sessions per day if possible, when getting back into shape after getting up to 240 which i fucking hated. the cardio helped
me more than anything, the shit i did in my 20's didnt work anymore, do a shit load of cardio and weight train 3 to 4 days a week.
also pm wes his diet knowledge is high. and hes old to, and pulls in young whores.
-
ahhahhaha gold :D :D :D

Let's go over this again:
A hour of walking burns about 300 calories. That's about the same number of calories in a chocolate donut which can be eaten in 2 minutes.
Forget about exercise for weight loss. Exercise is for health and fitness with a byproduct of burning a few calories.
Weight loss is all about diet.
Put the damn fork down!

I 1000000% agree with this

paleo--all I eat is paleo--100% of the time
people keep thinking this is about weight loss--its not--its just about feeling more fit and functional as I approach 50 years old
if I lose weight thats just a bonus
-
what happened to me is i went from 175 to 240 in six monthes
i felt like utter shit and had no energy in my 20's i could weight train and just do a low carb diet, which is basically like paleo
i am back down to 175 now and feel much better. try doint more cardio and see how you feel, just get some good music, i would recomend
getting a treadmill throw a tv in front of it and get hulu , tons of tv shows on there.

Calculate TDEE on the internet... Eat in a slight deficit with all clean foods and train... If you lose the weight too fast and do too much cardio you will just end up having the same bf% but at a lower weight which looks even worse... It took time to get to 276 and be overweight and have alot of fat it's gonna take time to get it all off cleanly... So buckle up and get ready to start being disciplined (no sexual reference intended)

Stick with paleo, do the workout I posted, foam roll.......
7 weeks later we'll see what's up.

Spot on
-
do a shit load of cardio and weight train 3 to 4 days a week.
Solid advice.
-
in addition to whatever else you do
- get a bike and go to nearby locations on it
- walk whenever possible
- if you can handle drugs, caffeine worked wonders for me... two cups of coffee and i don't need to eat all day. you may end up fucked though :D
maybe these will just sap your energy but they could help, who knows. i think a high volume of low-intensity exercise (if you can fit it into your life) is worth trying, whether in conjunction with or instead of high-intensity exercise.
anyway good luck and keep us updated

This is generally true. However, if you really get into endurance sports, like cycling and running, you can definitely drop significant amounts of weight. When I used to run a lot, as soon as I hit 40 miles a week which wasn't that much for serious marathon training, I would start to drop weight fast. Guys running 50 plus miles a week, which is not that uncommon among serious runners, can pretty much eat what they want, within reason. The OP, who actually doesn't look that bad, seems like an endo-meso so he's probably not genetically predisposed to endurance sports, but there's no reason he can't incorporate them in his routine.

Not sure what you really wanna say.
Maybe need a few smilies more...
Just to clarify.

Don't do HIIT on low glycogen levels, you will sacrifice muscle, and end up as a smaller flabbier version of your former heavier self. If you're eating very low carb and hovering near ketosis, do steady state cardio, not intervals. It's good to start out with Intervals as it's anaerobic and the perfect choice to burn the excess glycogen stored in the body. Then you need to slow down to aerobic steady state cardio (stationary bike, treadmill, etc) to burn the fat.

This is an exception that proves my point. You left out that muscle is also lost from endurance training. I live in Manhattan and run in Central Park. I see countless "Endurance Athletes" running with their ridiculous little water bottle belts. They all look like sh!t. Even their legs have no muscle. The pic below is of a top Ultra Runner, not a look most guys here would want. His knees are wider than his quads. That said, his hair is pretty cool [no homo].
Moreover, what happens when you have an injury and can't run? As I'm sure you know, runner's have a high incidence of injury due to the repetitive nature of the activity. An overweight person doing an abnormal amount of exercise would be particularly susceptible.
You can always eat less, whether injured or not.

"Fat melted?" Dude, you don't actually have any fat. Or maybe the last bit melted off.

Well done man, made my day to read this thread and see your determination.
Just a couple of tips that could go a long way bro:
1. Don't view cardio as 'exercise' or 'cardio' - i.e. a means to an end product alone. You are in a unique position in that you get a little more spare time than most, so instead of doing fucking 'excercise/cardio' every day, pick something you love doing (or start something new outdoors) and do that shit everyday!
What you will end up with long term is not 'cardio' to burn extra calories - but your actual LIFE will be different. Your LIFE will need MORE calories to sustain all the fun shit your doing everyday.
2. I'm only 30 years old, but something i've noticed in life along the way (call it karma/reaping and sowing whatever): If something took a long time to build.......it's going to take a long time to take apart again.
Basically what i'm saying with number 2, is double the amount of time you want this to take. If you get there sooner - bonus.
Fucking kill it man.

I don't know if most guys wouldn't want that look. You live in Manhattan. The metro sexual look rules. Most fashionable men's clothes are extremely tailored for the "slim" physique. If you gave them a choice most Brooklyn /Manhattan guys would probably rather look like that dude than the guys from Jersey Shore.

The point is that exercise is an extremely inefficient way of reducing a caloric surplus compared to not consuming calories in the first place.
Endurance training is neither practical, sustainable or even desirable for most people. The math on 50 miles a week works out to five 10 mile runs a week, or 7 miles every single day.
