      a healthy weight loss goal would be 1lb of fat per week. don’t fall for the easy, quick fixes. diet is going to be 60% of how you look. starving yourself can actually make you gain weight because it slows down your metabolism. try to eat a lot throughout the day, but the key is eating healthy. eating a lot speeds up your metabolism. try and eat breakfast as soon as you wake up(kick start the metabolism), a bowl of whole grain wheat cereal is my breakfast. subway has some good, low calorie foods like a foot long grilled chicken on wheat with just lettuce, tomato, and pickles (you can add more veges) but leave the other stuff out like cheese, dressings, etc. don’t add ranch to your salads, find a more healthy dressing. you can buy some skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store and just bbq those without adding anything to it for flavor. as far as working out goes: if you want to lean up, do cardio 5x a week for 30-60min per session (after 30 minutes you burn muscle, but if you just want to lean up this is not a problem). running and swimming are the best, but if you have bad joints you can try the elliptical. intensity of the workout is key, you should work hard and keep your heart rate up.

      why would you want to? honestly, at that height and weight, you’re in a very lucky position. your body is used to carrying around almost 300 pounds, which means your joints are very strong. i would do a total body workout, which focuses on compound moves like four sets of 10 reps of :

      squats
      deadlifts
      bench press
      military press
      pull ups
      clean and press

      do them MWF, and try to go up in weight, adding the 2.5 pound plates on monday. my workout partner did this and lost 2 inches off his waist in a month, and i was bulking (huge caloric intake) and gained almost two pounds that month, all lean muscle.

      eat healthy, eat what you need (i’m guessing 3k calories for maintenance), healthy fats, protein, slow digesting carbs.

      go light on this workout, because it will drain your energy like nothing else.. also, my best friend was 6′7″, and he had lower back problems - for this reason, always wear a belt when deadlifting and doing squats.
