Simply stop being one.
Not even kidding, you guys don't realize how absolutely massive your meals are over there. If you visited Australia for a couple weeks, you'd lost 20lbs while sitting around doing nothing all day. I'd bet you guys average take in 500-1000 calories more than us, and we australians usually take in 500-1000 more than we should.
For example, our large pizzas are 3" smaller.
Other than that, just be slightly more active. Walk to the shops instead of driving, that sort of thing. Walking another mile a day (not that hard when you're doing lots of things) and dropping around 750 calories from your daily intake will help more than you'd expect.
If you want to gym, focus on cardio for the first month ish before you do weights, otherwise you're going to be unhappy when you're trying to diet while doing weights at the same time and notice that you're never losing any weight - remember, muscle is heavy.
We're fat because we drink a lot of beer and tend to never walk anywhere at all because the distances are generally too high.intoTheRain said:I promise u should take my advice over madsters.

Seriously that is all you need.Excercise tip 1: Diet is more important than the gym. If your option was eating a garbage diet and working out, or eating an excellent diet and not working out, go with plan B. You'll look and feel far better.

Like i said, we still take in much more a day than we should, but we take in a surprising amount less than the american norm.
And walking and focusing on cardio before muscle is the best thing you can do. It improves your overall health, bulks up your legs and just makes you feel better overall. It's good to do cardio for almost a month before doing any serious weights.
Remember that i live in Aus and have been to the US, and am currently going to a gym twice a week and went from 125kg to 119kg and am looking for 115kg before i start properly working on muscle. I still do some weights, but mainly working on cardio before muscle is the way i've been told to do it by the trainers.
