Fat Loss Tips.

For anyone on the Fat Loss 4 Idiots diet – how often & how much should I eat during those 3 cheat days?
Do you still eat 4 times a day in small portions like usual?

There are several diets out there, but I can’t keep track of which is the healthiest. My brother is doing the Atkins friendly-low carb diet and I am terribly worried about him. His diet includes high calorie and high fat foods and he has little physical fitness. Is this low carb diet actually healthy?
Do you have any suggestions I can give him?
Or maybe I am wrong and the Atkins diet is healthy, please let me know what you think.
Thanks!

I am a regular mountain biker, but like to road-ride, too. However, my full-suspension is way too much drama for the pavement and even my hardtail is too heavy for efficient road travel. I want something lighter and better suited. The problem is, I am not super fond of the “feel” of road bikes. I saw that Trek (my fave) had “fitness” bikes and “urban” bikes and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what are the advantages/disadvantages to choosing a fitness or urban bike over a road bike?
THANKS!

I am a pescetarian, meaning that i am a “vegitarian” who eats fish. I am looking for a weight loss plan that will help me lose some weight while still not eating any meat other than fish.

During cardio activities, like karate, I’m told to have your heart rate at a certain percentage. What percentage is right for fat loss during cardio activities?
How do I figure out my max. heart rate?
How do you figure out your heart rate without a heart rate monitor (like the belt or watch thingys). I think you count the times your heart beats for 6 seconds and multiply it by 10.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I am trying to lose about 10 -15 pounds. I am exercising, eating more healthy with less calorie intake but I am not losing any weight. So what diet pills/supplements are the most effective in helping me losing weight. I don’t want to take anything unhealthy but I just want some extra help losing a little extra weight.
Thanks!

i do 30 minutes running every day, i eat healthy and do a variety of weights every day as well as sit ups press ups. im thinking about buying whey protein powder but don’t know if this is enough fitness to start using protein powder??
