Does anyone have any really good weight loss tips? -

Does anyone have any exercise diet tips for losing weight?

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, whichwill lead to increase of weight, or muscle growunderneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet withoutexercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. Fordiet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no foodafter 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending onyour initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. Ifyou don t eat wheat then you don t eat all those sticky, fatty goeycakes, you don t eat junk food, and you don t eat biscuits. But yourdiet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have tocalculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is themost efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight alot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to targetyour problem areas for men and women. It s not necessarily to become abodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help youto target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Step1Check with a doctor to make sure you do not have any problems with cholesterol, diabetes or heart issues. Low carb means high protein and relatively high fat. If there is a history of heart disease, diabetes or other issues that need to be addressed, be sure to ask your doctor if this diet will exacerbate the condition.Step2If you want to lose 10 to 15 lbs., you must cut carbohydrates to less than 20 g per day. Check the labels on all foods and read carbohydrate content. You will see that most foods contain some carbohydrates.Step3If you have the option, get rid of everything that has any carbohydrate content. This includes bread, cereal and rice. Eliminate all vegetables except lettuce. Fruit is not acceptable for the 2-week period, either. Unfortunately, fruit does contain some carbohydrates. It is almost impossible to diet when these foods are right in front of you.Step4If you have children and you must cook for them, try to prepare 2 weeks worth of meals ahead of time, so that you will not be tempted to eat or taste the food they will eat. If there is anyone else in the household who can do this task for the 2-week period, delegate the task to them. Keep all carbohydrate snacks out of sight.Step5When you get hungry you want to be sure you have enough on hand to eat. Buy salad, preferably in large bags. It is much easier to put salad on the plate when you do not have to prepare it. Tomatoes are also acceptable for the 2-week period, but only 1/2 per day. They do contain carbohydrates, and it is important to keep these below the acceptable 20-g level. In addition to the salad, it is ok to top with bacon bits, shredded cheese (1 oz. or less) and low carbohydrate dressing (1 g or less of carbohydrates). Blue cheese is usually the best.Step6Meat and eggs are very important on this diet. You should purchase many types of meat, including steak, chicken, bacon, pork, shrimp and lunchmeat. Make sure lunchmeat is 1 carb or less per slice and be careful with consumption.Step7When you have gotten your supplies, make sure that they are separated into easy to cook and eat portions. Having a lunchmeat wrap is also acceptable. Salad should be limited to approximately 4 cups per day in the 2-week period. Pickles contain approximately 1 carb each and can be used in place of a lettuce cup. Tomatoes can be fried with a touch of salt for a quick snack.Step8At the drugstore, buy lipolysis strips at the prescription counter. They are typically used by diabetics, but can be used on this diet to test for fat burning. At the end of each day you can test your fat loss by urinating on the strip. The darker the strip becomes, the more fat you are losing. Although this may sound unappetizing, it is a real motivator to actually see the fat loss.Step9Eggs can be cooked in a variety of ways to make them appetizing. They can be poached, boiled, scrambled, over easy, deviled and made into a bacon, ham and cheese omelet. Having eggs that are hard boiled or deviled is a good snack.Step10It is ok to cook with butter on this diet, because the goal is to eliminate carbohydrates and not necessarily fat. However, because of the high fat content of most meats, use a non-stick cooking spray.Step11Make sure you have plenty of low-cal sweeteners on hand. Although this can be used, it needs to be limited. Each packet of sweetener contains 1 g of carbohydrates, and needs to be included in your daily count.Step12Instead of using milk in your coffee, use creamer. Read the label before you buy. It should have 1 g or less of carbohydrates.Step13If you buy lemon juice and mix with sweetener, you have instant lemonade. It is important to get plenty of fluids. Although you will stay full on this diet because meat and eggs can be consumed in unlimited amounts, the fluids should be used to flush the system.Step14Although diet soda contains no carbs, it is not recommended. It can be used if necessary to replace the need for sweets, but limit consumption to as little as possible.Step15It is possible you may feel sluggish for the first few days due to the lack of carbohydrates being consumed for energy. However, as your body begins to burn fat for energy, your energy should increase substantially.Step16Keep your menus very simple. For breakfast have eggs in any form with either sausage or bacon. For lunch have a lunchmeat wrap with a small salad. For dinner have a large salad with chicken or steak. For 2 weeks it is important to eat a very limited diet. Any amount of meat or eggs can be consumed in-between meals.Step17Weigh your self daily. It is motivating to see the quick weight loss on this diet.Step18Try to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise each day. This can be in the form of walking, biking, a class or a video. As long as you are moving, it will help increase fat loss.Step19Drink plenty of water to encourage the release of toxins and increase bowel movement. High pr
