Raspberries. They have the highest level of ellagitannins out of any foodstuff. That's true of most fruits in the berry family. I sprinkle wheat germ over my strawberries in the morning with a shake of cinnamon.

I'd say the best advice is to buy The HOOK

I say earn a few million & then no one will really give a flying leap what u look like or whatever other deficits u carry with guilt. Do u think the public cares that Jeff Bezos has a bald head & couldn't get a lay on the best day of the week if he wasn't a billionaire? Do u really think that Elton John gives a flaming fuck that people know he's a butt pirate with his millions? If self-preservation & advanced age hadn't kicked in, u can bet the farm I'd be chowing down on some Crispy Creme doughnuts washed down with a pint of Guinness right now. BOO-YAH!

The only other thing I'll say is not everyone can handle low carbs. Doing a physical job I know that I can't handle to low carbs. How much weight have you lost like this? How long have you kept if off? Most people I know never last on a low carb but some can handle it more. This is starting to get unnecessarily ‘complicated’..It’s not just “low carbs” it’s LESS carbs, exercising and drinking more water. Water is a magic elixir when looking to lose weight. You’re doing a physical job and are able to burn the carbs off. Most people don’t get as much physical activity as you and take in far too many carbs, myself included. It’s really that simple. Not trying to make it more complicated, but a definition of what we are each thinking of as "carbs" might be helpful. Choosing cellular carbs is not going to make anyone fat. Try getting fat on celery, broccoli, asparagus, squash, cauliflower and sauerkraut with fresh chives and garlic. Add some mashed potatoes and you can feel very full while losing fat.

I'd really like to overhaul my health and strength, and I literally have no idea how to do it without becoming overwhelmed, can anybody point me in the right direction? Start off very simply and add stuff to your routine later. You need a pushing exercise, a pulling exercise and a leg exercise. Pushing: Pushups (UK press ups). Maybe start by doing pushups while on your knees so you can get more reps. Don't go quite as low as the guy in the video as it may put a strain on your shoulders. Lower yourself down until your upper arms are no lower than parallel with the floor. Pulling: Body rows. Try to rig up something to perform this excellent exercise. duckduckgo.com/?t=ffnt&q=%22body+rows%22&atb=v210-1&iax=images&ia=imagesLegs: Freehand squats. Reps. For the upper body, keep it simple. Shoot for reps but stop just before you think you can do no more reps (1 or 2 short of failure) and then rest for about 6 breaths. Do some more reps until 1 or 2 short of failure and rest for a few breaths again. You will get less reps each time but repeat the process until you can't get any more than 1 rep and then have a rest for a minute or two and then move onto the next exercise. For legs just rep until it feels a little difficult. Have a short rest and do some more. 4-5 sets. Diet: Try eating less of what you usually eat. Tinker with it later. Use a tape measure to keep a track of your belly measurement and also your soon to be massive guns.

Hey Magnus thanks for your reply, shoot for 15 calisthenics and improve to 30 mins, got it. I like the look of the 5BX, it might be a bit hard at the moment but I will give it a try, I'm so confused with diet , some guys say more veggies and legumes others say more meat and eggs arghh . If you like 5BX this person's site may be worth looking at. You can print all the charts: www.fit450.com/index.html

I can only really echo what many have said: mainly keep it simple.
I chat to people in real life and they are befuddled by all the programs out there. Many I chat to feel the need to be doing different things every session. It doesn’t have to be that complicated! .
I just do the same tried and tested exercises and only vary the resistance. I’d be happy with just push ups, pull ups, squats, and leg raises.
Also don’t fall into the trap of thinking more is better. The best progress I made was using a full body routine done 3 times a week with just a couple of sets per exercise. As a beginner you’ll probably be able to get away with more sets probably as you won’t be working as intensely.

Just to gradually lose fat and maintain or build muscle mass, a person only needs to eat a little less and do a little more physically.
If a person wants to do a minimalist diet improvement, avoiding processed "foods" and sugar, and drinking plenty of water will always improve diet and help to reduce insulin surges/crashes which trigger hunger pangs. This will also help the body purge itself of toxins. "Eat real food, not a lot, mostly plants" - is a good, basic diet approach and from there you can dial in what works best for you - which will likely change over your lifetime. Always more to learn. Always room for improvement.

Lardy, you have been given very good advice. 3 times a week, a pushup, a pull/row and a squat, a few sets. If you want to add planks, you may do them on "rest days", that way you would also have activity those days. It would be less intense because it is 1 exercise and would become something called "active recovery". Stop eating when feeling just a tad hungry, like you could eat more but don't really need it. Try to cut the junk food and eat more natural foods. There are no magic tricks, that is the only sure thing.

Lardy.....
My advice would be to begin by simply walking. A daily walk would significantly bring your weight down, build your endurance, and it is such a healthy thing to do. Aside from walking, do an exercise routine 3 days a week. People here have offered some good routines to get you started.

I was thinking the traditional carbs that any doctor or pro trainer will tell a person to reduce, and that being bread, pasta, rice, etc
