Hey IST
First time poster on this board. Determined to lose weight, build muscle and get toned this year after a lifetime of being a fat frick.
What is the easiest way to lose fat, get strong and tone my body? Like any good workout routine? I’ve signed up for the gym and messed around there a couple of days now.
Ideally I want to be able to go as minimal as possible as I’m too busy irl. Ideally I want a routine that works well so I don’t need to do any special dieting or anything, my body reacts badly to fruit and veg.
Tl;dr - need to get fit this year. What’s the easiest way to do it?

The free PT at the gym mentioned that to me but I want a routine with machines rather than weights.
Brad Pitt from fight club.

Why

Easier. Just eat less calories that you eat and increase your protein intake to 2grams per kg
I was gonna answer to you and actually help but decided against it. If you are lifetime fat frick you are literally looking at 3+ years MINIMUM for a body transformation to Brad Pitt from fight club. I mean even 3 years is absurdly generous as most people never look like that despite lifting indefinitely and with way better starting point.
And on top of that you wanted easiest way to do it, as minimal as possible, machines instead of weights (nothing against machines but this is just a psychological read) like you are not getting "fit this year". Try summer 2027 at the earliest. Like you just need to focus on changing basic fundamentals, get into the habit of training and eating better. Next year will be way better.
OP really does sound like someone that doesn't want to commit himself to a proper fit routine
Post the body you want.
Any athletic body you'll need diet
Im also a beginner, skinnyfat 68 kg 178 cm, is 2700 calories enough if i want to build muscles? Several sources contradict each other on that matter
Yes. Keep track of your weight because as you gain muscle/fat your calorie intake will grow
Alright thanks anon, ive already got a kg over this week, i feel much better after starting lifting. Wagmi
There is no set number for anyone, these are indications. 2700 is a good estimate and not bad to start with. Count your calories, monitor your weight and your waist and see what happens. Adjust down or up by 200 cals.
>my body reacts badly to fruit and veg
it was over before it even began, ngmi
I don’t know if the replies ITT are troll responses or shitposts. I don’t want to just lose weight, I want to turn the fat into muscle.
>no weights
>no fancy fad diets
>no bullshit about measuring calories and fats and carbs etc..
>quickest and easiest way possible because I have a busy lifestyle
Can anyone actually answer the question without shitposting?
A bait almost worthy of a (You)
>my body reacts badly to fruit and veg
Genelet.
>What is the easiest way to lose fat, get strong and tone my body?
Not looking for the easy way because there is none.
3-5 meals a day, each containing 20-40g animal protein
at least 500g veggies/fruit a day.
Eat whole foods, eat carbs.
Caloric deficit following the above rules for weight loss, surplus if gaining
Start on a beginner routine
ayo fr?
As a heart attack homie i wish yall b***h asses would try and be as racist as you is up here to my face you b***h ass homies

Gaining muscle and losing body fat are too different things. They can be combined as a beginner (congrats) but still antagonize each other as a caloric deficit makes you a little weaker which does not help with progressive overload.
Diet; I succeeded with counting calories. As you have a stressful life I suggest not more than a 500-700 cal deficit. Start with 500. Also learn how to eat at maintenance level. Absolute key skill.
If you have a clear vice like drinking or soft drinks you can just cut that and potentially already lose fat without changing much else.
Gaining muscle: key here is progressive overload that means you should track what you do. Also absolute key is enough protein and enough sleep. Be wary of overtraining. Your body will tell you.
As you are constrained in time find a split that works for you and focus on training till failure with just 3-6 sets per muscle group per workout. If you find the time do that twice per week per muscle group but if not just once is enough for you for a long time just ensure you progress.
Programming: just write down all major groups and pick 1-2 exercises. Which muscle group when? Look up splits.
Read the sticky and do something that works best for you. What I did was eat the same 1200 calorie meal every day and walk or run 3 miles every day no matter the weather. Eating the same food every day makes it super easy to count the calories.
