Muscle weighs more than fat. To lose muscle, it needs to be broken down. Basically starving yourself as your body will break down muscle preferentially over fat. Low protein diet will help. Lose enough muscle and you won't be able to walk, let alone run.

I personally wouldn't advocate going to the above extremes.

just to add... do not eat anything after 7pm on an evening. and make sure you eat as soon as you are up in the morning. do not skip meals as this makes your body store excess fat also.

None of this is true, ignore it  :smiley:

No, it really isnt.

Eating after 7 is a myth, your body wont store it as fat. Plenty of scientific studies which disprove it. All studies done that showed fat was stored after 7/8pm was done on people already in a state of starvation.

It takes over 24 hours of not eating to get into a state of starvation, skipping meals wont do anything  :laugh:

You dont need to eat breakfast either, this wont cause you store fat, another myth  :smiley:

Cardio in a state of depletion will eat fat and muscle. Do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. Eat 'good' carbs such as brown rice and pasta and cut back on protein. Eat healthy fats also and reduce your water intake to about 2 litres a day.

You should work out your macronutrient goals based on your calorie intake for the day. I would say around 1800 calories a day would be enough at your size to keep your energy up and help lose weight (fat and muscle) healthily.

eat small regular meals at a set time each day, the 7pm is a myth but the breakfast rule is a hard fact.

6 small meals per day and your body knows its geting a regular supply so doesnt store it as much.

losing muscle, eat less protein, keep training, weights will still burn calories as well as cardio but keep your protein low so you dont bulk. if your not a fan of running then just do long walks, there actually better for just losing weight (fat and non fat)

Eating small amounts more often is better as it keeps your metabolism on it's toes. Ideally you should be eating small amounts (like a piece of fruit, or a very small meal) on an hourly basis. One of the things my girlfriend's dad taught me is that to lose weight fast you need to change your metabolism rate, and no better way of doing so by doing the above.

And just to back you up tweed, and others, no carbs after 7pm!

I need to lose the xmas and holiday weight I put on. Just before I jetted off to Brazil in November I was 80kg, I'm now 84kg  :sad:

Have you considered Rotax Max 177 tweed? I was considering it, minimum driver weight is 85kg and minimum kart and driver weight is 177kg, rather than 162kg for Rotax Max. Problem is because it's more limited there's less competitiveness, hence why I decided Senior Rotax Max.
