I am 51 year old male who began weight loss program after Xmas however I am finding it difficult to lose any more weight. Whst can I do
Good for you and it s good your asking advice! It sounds like you re off to a good start and you have kinda plateaued. That s rather natural actually. Even with weight lifting or running or whatever you kinda hit that imaginary barrier and it s hard to break through to the next phase of your personal weight loss mission. I went to a wedding on hoodia and lost weight so you should have no problems. The best way to lose weight is to control your appetite and the best way to do that that I know of is with hoodia. When I was dieting (and believe me I still watch my weight even though I have achieved my weight loss goals for the most part) I realized right off that the most important thing is to control your appetite. If your stomach s not always growling and your not always craving food it is sooo much easier to stick to your guns and stay on your diet. With hoodia I would literally go a whole day sometimes and simply forget to eat and I didn t get tired and run down like diets can sometimes make you feel. Once my appetite was under control and I wasn t always thinking about eating then and only then could the weight start coming off consistently and steadily because the hoodia kept my mind off of food and I would go longer on my diet and as I did that naturally I lost weight. You have to remember that consistency is very important when losing weight. If you cut back a little on your food consumption everyday your body will change (stomach will shrink and you won t be eating as much) and with that consistency over a few days, weeks and months you will lose weight just like I did. Hoodia was my saving grace for all of these factors. Hope this helps!!! GOOGLE: online health desert burn hoodia :to read all the good info. you need to accomplish your goals.
A DIET IS WHAT YOU EAT....there for we are all on a diet....THINK LIFESTYLE CHANGEYou got the change the way you think and feel about foodTRY THIS, and stick to it.The first 3-4 weeks are the hardest until your body adjusts to the change.Results will be in about the same timeFruits and VeggiesEat more plants and keep away from stuff that was made in plants.Don t eat anything that comes in a can, box or package.........THEY HAVE ADDITIVES IN THEM THAT MAKE YOU ADDICTED TO THE FOOD.....If man made it, don t eat itNO white BREAD or SUGARNO FRIED FOOD...Stay away from FAST FOODWalk your dog, or walk a friends dogDon t think of it as a diet, but think of it as a lifestyle changeI have lost 25.5 pounds in 2 months, drink lots of water. I usually eat a meal of what ever I want once a week....controlled portion....this really works.........Write down every thing you eatTake a multi vitamin at night
im guessing you hit the infamous plateau haha. you could try switching to different methods of cardio or adding more time on the ones you do. mixing it up with all new methods of cardio,weights, and a different diet could also help to break through the barrier and start losing again. your body gets used to your routine after about 4 weeks, so if you get your body into new workouts every few weeks, it has less chance to adapt.
1) Eat real food -- No more junk or sodas.2) Burn more calories3) Set goals that work for you4) Get running shoes, a bicycle, or swim trunks and get moving.5) Fill out a race entry form.6) Get a subscription to a Swimming, Biking, Running or triathlon magazine.It takes too long to write out training plans for people so I ll leave that to you.
Weight loss is all about balance. That s the simple part. If you consume more calories than you expend, you gain weight. If you expend more than you consume, you lose. Whatever weight you find yourself at, that s the product of your whole lifestyle. It s also not just today s weight, but tomorrow s... are you gradually gaining weight, or stable? Either way, the only way make a change is to make a PERMANENT change in your lifestyle. A special diet can have you losing weight, but if you leave it and go back to the old diet, you ll wind up just where you were, over time. There are two variables: input and output. If you can cut your daily caloric intake and leave your physical output alone, you CAN push the balance away from gaining and toward losing, without any change in exercise. But this can be tricky... your body works against you. Basically, your body tries to stay where it is. If you suddenly drop caloric intake, your body can respond with a drop in your resting metabolism. So while you may think that cutting 500 calories from your diet will be effectively the same as an hour s hard workout (which is what the math tells you), you probably see something less in practice. If you can add exercise, without changing your caloric intake, you can also push the equation in your favor. The hard part is this... you have to do lots of exercise to balance out relatively few calories. So to make up for a small (5-7oz) bag of chips, you have to do 1-2 hours of very intensive exercise. There s about 500-1000 calories in a small bag of regular chips... pretty crazy, eh? But you get a boon from exercise.. you expend the energy while doing the thing, but over time, your resting metabolic rate increases.. a fit person burns more calories just sitting there than a sedentary person. Ultimately, do a little of both... watch what you eat, get more exercise. It s a synergy. I did this myself.. despite the fact I understand this all, I did let myself get about 25-30 pounds beyond my ideal weight. That was a problem for a backpacking trip I was doing in 2007, so I started using this knowledge, and dropped 30 pounds in 9 months, both via diet and exercise. The usual diet you take on never does this long-term, simply because it s a thing with a limit -- you change, you hit your target weight... great! Celebrate, diet s over, and you go right back to the lifestyle that had you 30lbs heavier. Before you know it, you re back at that old weight -- the weight is a function of your lifestyle. As well... I m younger than you, but not dramatically so. As we age, there s a tendency for a slowing of the metabolism independent of everything else. So what used to keep you at a specific weight might, over time, get you heavier, as that resting metabolism slows down. It s critical to establish an exercise program. I suggest every day, commit yourself to some form of exercise. That s the easy transformative formula -- if you want a change of any kind, so that thing every single day. I actually came up with this learning, then teaching guitar. If you plan for a 3-day exercise or practice schedule, it s easy to find yourself, months down the road, pushing off those three days until it s always tomorrow . If you lock in that this is something that must happen every day, you can feel a little guilt on those days that it doesn t happen... that s not important. When you get to be ok with it not happening today, you get to be ok with blowing it off indefinitely. So I work out every day, usually an hour in the morning before work. And I play my guitar an hour or two or more a day, usually after 10PM. I haven t entirely kept to my Philmont weight, but I m doing ok.
