same here!!! tried counting calories but found it so tedious, also tried intermittent fasting but felt as though i was gaining instead of losing. I just want a flat stomach ahh if only.
 
I suggest investing in a digital kitchen scale so that you can weigh your food, that way it'll be more precise. its not that tedious after you get the hang of it, myfitnesspal helps a lot of course. That said, don't be afraid to eat whatever you want(that is halal), just keep it within a reasonable amount. As long as you are in a deficit you will lose weight. Meal timing hardly matters so whether your on IF or not if you're on a surplus you'll still gain.
 
Way back on the 31[SUP]st[/SUP] December last year I decided I was overweight and would do something about it.
Since 31[SUP]st[/SUP] Dec, I have lost 8.5 kilo!
I am now 82.5 kilo
I never imagined I would lose 5 kilo but now I am pushing on to lose a total of 10 kilo.
I gave up chips, chocolate, ice cream etc.
My meals include very small amounts of rice or potato. Previously had large amounts of those.
My meals are about 50 grams less than before – so I am not hungry as such.
As for exercise – I found a quite route and measured 5 kilometres in my car. The return journey is 10 kilometres.
I walk 10 kilometres nearly every day. Perhaps 4 times a week on average.
On 1[SUP]st[/SUP] January it took 80 mins and I am now I mostly run and I am down to 60 mins.
My target is 50 mins. I should get there by June next year.
It only requires will power.

Have you tried stomach exercises?
I find Yoga and Pilates useful (and relaxing) too.
 
There is a very simple way to lose a good amount of weight.

-stop eating sweets and sugar, use honey whenever possible
-decrease the salt in-take
-don't eat 2-3hrs before bed
-don't eat junk food, including pop
-decrease your dinner portions
-walk 15-20 mins daily, powewalk if possible. one can even do this at home, walking back n forth in a room.

don't need to count calories or other diets. Just make the above changes and live as normal and this alone will make a difference.

That's good sound advice.

I had gotten into the habit of having a glass of wine or two in the evening at the weekend. Not only does alcohol have a lot of calories, but it also makes me more likely to get 'the nibbles' and start eating things without being hungry.
Hence I have gained 7 lbs in the last 6 months or so - despite being quite an active person.
Two weeks ago I stopped drinking wine and I have lost 4 lbs since then!

(Of course, none of this helps my good Muslim friends here ... but I thought I'd share it anyway ;D)

Keep up the fight! :thumbs_up

^o)If I'll give up these food,what will be left in life?
 
I suggest watching this video caleld Down Size Me on YouTube, its where this guy eats only mcdonalds for one whole month and actually loses weight. It is made in response to super size me. The idea is to show that it's not impossible to fit certain foods in your diet as long as you do it in moderation(with the right knowledge of nutrition). It's taken to an extreme in the video just to emphasize that point obviously lol.

It should be noted that sleeping more than the body needs will make one lazy in worship and will make one slow in thinking. Hence there are some sayings of the salaf which criticize sleeping too much.
Al-Fudayl ibn ‘Iyaad (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There are two qualities that harden the heart: sleeping too much and eating too much.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: As for the five things that corrupt the heart, they are those that are referred to: mixing too much with people, wishful thinking, being attached to anything other than Allaah, eating one’s fill, and sleeping. These five are the greatest corrupters of the heart.

a healthy body?


decrease your dinner portions
- “The son of Aadam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Aadam to eat a few mouthfuls, to keep him going. If he must do that (fill his stomach), then let him fill one third with food, one third with drink and one third with air." Saheeh: Related by at-Tirmidhee (no. 1381)and Ibn Maajah (no. 3349).

decrease salt in take - animals eat lot of salt.
- salt gets absorbed in body cells and allows it to retain more water, there by make you all bloated like an air balloon.

don't eat sweets
- use honey for pancakes, bread, tea, etc.
- sugar will just add weight, including jelly
- desi sweets are just too much, one in a blue moon is ok
- other sweets (cake, chocolate, etc) should also be once in a blue moon
- firstly sweets are DESERTS to be enjoyed in small quantities, 2ndly if one can't handle that than do equal amount of workout for each sweet
don't eat junk food
- watch Super Size Me

:haha: in fact I can't advocate denying oneself a treat. Problem is self-control.. most people who put a bit of inverted sugar in their mouth crave a ton more.. the secret is how to have one and stop..
When I was a kid I had this unnatural craving for pickles.. and I kept asking my mom for one more, just one more.. then she said enough.. I stole the jar and went to the bathroom and tried to have just one more but before I knew it I had the entire jar yes all 16094869486409 pickles inside then I put the empty jar full of pickle juice back on the shelf and tried hard to not act suspicious!

I find this is interesting.I have seen this type of example.One of my college friend was brahmin hindu.She used to eat very less and hindu brahmins have very restriction in eating foods.
They don't eat non veg food
They Don't eat egg.
Underground veg and fruits,eg potatoes ,carrot,ginger etc and her weight was 90 up.

I think We should looked into prophetic manners of eating and drinking.
