Don’t be a fat soccer player or athlete! If you are too fat, you won’t be the soccer player you could be! Eat less food, burn fat and lose weight! While its true that you inherit a certain body type, don’t blame genetics if you’re overweight or fat. Ultimately, your body weight will depend on how much you eat and how much you workout, not your genetics.
If you consistently eat more calories than you burn (caloric surplus), you will consistently gain weight and add on body fat, no matter what your genetics may be. This can be a good thing if you are pumping iron and building muscle. But, if you are lazy, you will get fat!
You need to know how many calories you need each day. Start by learning your basal metabolic rate (how many calories you would burn if you did nothing all day). If you have a caloric surplus, you will gain weight.
Keep a food journal. Research has proven that you will have a better chance of succeeding with your meal plan and fat loss if you keep a food journal!
Take responsibility for your body and do the things necessary to change your body composition! It will make you a better soccer player!

I started this diet about 2 months ago. I took off 6 lbs.the first 2 weeks, I havent lost a pound since. I dont know what I am doing wrong, I haven’t cheated, I follow every thing thru,I exercise,but I still haven’t lost anymore weight. I would just like to lose another 5 lbs. I am getting very frustrated and am thinking of going on the weight watchers diet. If there is anyone out there that thinks that they can give me some pointers I would appreciate an email.
