5k prop bet. 80 lbs before WSOP next year
Ok. me and a friend made a 5k bet about me losing 80 lbs by the start of the wsop next year. We decided on this time because it is most likely the first time both of us will be at the same time.
Current stats: 298 lbs height : 6 feet 1 inch goal : 218 lbs age: 20 I have always been a pretty big guy. I worked out some in HS for baseball and other sports training. I hurt my elbow my JR year of HS and kinda stopped working out after that. I will be posting weekly updates in this thread hopefully with pics in the next few updates. Any suggestions to make me win this bet would be great. Right now i feel like I am an underdog, but money is always a good motivation. no i am not taking any more action on this bet.

Re: 5k prop bet. 80 lbs before WSOP next year
I mean, you will easily win this bet if you have some discipline. I started dieting in january of this year and have lost ~70 lbs.
Diet is going to be the big part of your weight loss. Mixing in exercise is necessary, but don't go work out and then "reward" yourself by having a huge meal and feeling like you earned it. Diet is definitely the primary factor in weight loss. Count your calories. You should be eating ~1800 calories/day. You're going to be shocked when you start reading labels and realizing how many cals are in different foods. The easiest way for you to control this is to eat at home. It's really tough to eat low calorie foods at restaurants. Eat lots of lean grilled meats, steamed veggies, stuff like that. Don't fry or saute stuff in oils. Always try to grill and use 0 cal pam spray. All this stuff will help you eat foods that will make you full while staying within your calorie requirements. Don't drink juices or regular sodas. Water or diet drinks are necessary so you can cut out liquid calories. Stay away from breads and pastas, get your carbs from vegetables. Good luck.

OP this is still relatively simple though... read this forum or T-nation for a sample diet or PM Dids for thin-man weight loss recipes. I would have to imagine the first 20-30 lbs. will shed off lightning-fast on any type of serious training/diet regimen. You can always crash or V-Diet the last 10 lbs. off 11 months from now.

[/ QUOTE ] I dont get this post at all. Generally fried food is bad, heating up most oils is also bad. OP, you should be able to lose over 100 lbs fairly easily in one years time.

Re: 5k prop bet. 80 lbs before WSOP next year
Sauteeing / cooking in olive oil or good oils isn't bad at all and on the contrary is quite good for you and good for fat loss. Cooking in canola or vegetable oils he should likely avoid though, but they're just subpar oils to begin with. PAM is of awful quality and I have no clue why anyone would use it.

secret,
You are almost totally wrong... again. Run your numbers with his caloric deficit and give some leeway for cheat meals etc. Its over a long period so he can alter it. He'll likely make it with no exercise at all. I'll go ahead and guess 30-35% BF. But really have no clue. This is ezpz for someone who even follow's nations guidelines.

Re: 5k prop bet. 80 lbs before WSOP next year
Secret,
A huge fatass should be worried about foods that have lots of oil. Oil is a high calorie food. Really high calorie. I'm not arguing that there are good oils, but take a capsule instead or something instead of sauteeing stuff in it. That's an easy way to accidentally go way over your calorie restrictions. Hint: Pam is an oil. It's just concentrated in spray form so that one can use it for cooking while using very little of it, hence very low calories.
