UK Chatterbox Chat Rooms : Losing weight when already slim

Losing weight when already slim
getkarter Date: 2008-02-12 Time: 08:21:02	I'm 27, 6' 2" and weigh 83kgs, my build would be described as slim but I am broad shouldered. My hobby is karting and to make the minimum weight of both driver and kart combined I need to lose about 3kgs. My diet could be described as poor, I can eat junk food and the weight takes a long time to go on - over the last few days I have cut back on the large portions of food and I have almost stopped drinking alcohol (maybe 2 small cans per week with dinner. I'm now eating salads and more fruit whilst drinking water instead of fizzy drinks, I walk my dog twice a day and play squash at least once per week. Am i going about this the correct way? I'm still eating white breads at the moment and i'm looking to go to wholemeal when I run out of white. I have a bike but i'm not using it at the moment through a lack of time, I have a fairly busy and active life - would this be an essential exercise item? If anyone has some dietry advice or maybe some exercise tips then that would be great. I do have a little pot belly from the food and the beer, i'm sure a couple of kilos could come from there. Cheers GetKarter
