Drink water.Eat small meals every 2,3 hours.More carbs AM. More protein PM.Try caffeine, coffee or pill form, an hour before working out.http://www.usgyms.net/caffeine.htmDon t workout more than an hour without having food or a Gatorade. Cortisol builds up in your system. Cortisol breaks down muscle tissue promotes fat retention.Eat proein fast carbs within an hour of finishing your workout.Do weights first, then cardio.VARY YOUR WORKOUT.EDT:Small meals-protein/carbs/fat in a 40/40/20 ratio is ideal. Say an egg a piece of fruit. Sandwich with meat, lettuce tomato. Yogurt fresh fruit. Nuts.And sip water all day.Here s a site that tells you how many cals you need daily for your age, ht wt:http://www.magnetic-diet.com/calc/daily_��Use it to get daily total then cut it up onto 5 to 7 meals.

Try calorie shifting, the idea behind the diet is to instead of avoiding food, embrace it and use it to your benefit to improve your metabolism. This way you ll actually continue to burn fat even once you stop the diet.The major problem with all diets that limit your calorie intake is that they as a result weaken and lower the effect of your metabolism on the foods you eat and actually make your body much more prone to storing calories as a result. Much like when an animal goes into hibernation, your body will go into scarcity mode and begin holding onto anything it can.That s the main reason that people experience rebound effects from diets. Calorie shifting actually does it right because it changes the way your body utilizes food and as a result you lose weight and keep it off when you stop.I ll throw in a link to a popular calorie shifting diet program in my source box for you to learn more about it.

Hey annie, I am a personal trainer. so what you should keep in mind is just your heart-rate and your training. Because anyone could run a treadmill and lose weight. It would take people loads of time in order for that one to happen. But, if you do what is called circuit training it ll keep your heart rate at a metabolic rate where it burns fat off your body. Circuit training is where you do multiple different exercises in a row without a rest until the end of it. That will burn fat off your body and get you toned up. You could workout like 20 minutes a day and achieve your goal weight. Some good snack ideas that you can take up is like fruits, like grapes and oranges. Even peanuts are good for you in the case, as long as they are unsalted. You should definitely be looking at fat content because bad fat will put on weight onto your body. And carbs would do the same since carbs are your energy and unused energy would stay onto your body which creates fat. I would definitely help you to get to your goal and if you need assistance, feel free to contact me. Oh btw, it takes 3500 calories to burn 1 lb of fat off your body. So you can imagine how long you will be on that machine for to burn that fat.

Some articles for you:http://www.yourfatfreedom.com/blog/cravi��andhttp://www.yourfatfreedom.com/blog/cravi��Eat plenty of fruit before every meal as much as you desire and eat fruit after workouts.I would try to do cardio everyday - long and slow is better than short and fast. Weight training - 3 times a week. Fat content is important - you should try to get 10% calories from fat. I give an article above about how to work out your calories.Use something like fitday.com to track this if you really want to but its not necessary. Eating plenty of fruits and a large green salad daily will help immensely on keeping you on track.

When it comes to the calories..There are 3500 calories in 1 pound of body fat. So when you are working out and the machine tells you that you burned 1750 calories ( probably unrealistic) you have burned off 1/2 a lb of body fat.Hope that makes sense.
