4. have fun and feel good.
ANY AND ALL comments/suggestions are always appreciated!!!
#3 and #4 are very important ingredients for the success of #1 !!
From my personnal experience, (I'm losing 15-20 pounds of fat every summer in less than a month, then always gain it back in a bit more than a month) I've noticed that very low calorie diet works well to lose weight fast for like 2 weeks, then it's a complete failure and I stop losing weight and I even gain some, because the metabolism becomes too slow, I lose motivation and I am too weak to work out. Best diets are alternating often between low-cals and medium calorie intake, for short periods of time, like 3 days each. To always eat enough to have full energy to work out.
#2 perhaps is a bit too much pressure and stress, and taking some break to rest and relax often helps. You can set goal for 3 days/week weight lifting + 2 days cardio for instance, and when you can train for a 6th day, you're gonna be even more proud of yourself because you do better than what you aimed for.
all the best luck to you
