Except instead of popping off about 36 pounds gone in a year, I make a smaller more realistic goal of 3 lb per month, which is easily accomplished and EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

okay sure, but pounds are not fat. tracking poundage is a mistake if you're doing any kind of exercise and aren't obese. also it wasn't necessarily all wrong info, i just don't like it when amateurs give advice on anything because the info is either anecdotal or regurgitated from hearsay. DONNY YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT
>This is backed by
>no more red meat,
why, that's the only natural source of creatine
>less rice and pasta
why, starches are the best carbs
>eating yogurt
i like yogurt but it's hardly worth mentioning in a diet plan because it doesn't do anything other than have calories.
>not skipping breakfast
common myth that this helps fat loss, only an old study shows this and it's more likely that the group that went without breakfast had poor eating habits to begin with, only one of which was skipping meals and then gorging at night. i usually eat breakfast myself, but that's because i'm hungry when i wake up. again, it's not really worth mentioning.
>light dinners
meaning what? every meal should be "light". ty for not brosciencing at me about 6 meals/day though.
>riding a bike to my second job instead of driving
>manning up and going for jogs on thursdays and tuesdays
cardio is pretty ok weight loss but not muscle-sparing weight loss. resistance training is much more important on a diet; otherwise your best result will be becoming skinnyfat. this is of course unless your cardio is especially intense, but then it's anaerobic exercise anyway.
>I just recommended short term goals to reach a long-term goal
so you recommend using the division symbol. great protip!
my advice is to set a goal and then just track your progress while you work to achieve it. if you're achieving it too slowly, either you're doing it wrong or you need to do something else. setting up milestones is for fags who need constant self-reassurement.
