Exercise Question...? -

I m working on a serious weight loss program right now where I exercise 4 to 6 times a week. I heard it s good to have atleast 3 days of strength/weight training...my question is, when going to the gym, is it better to do the cardio/fat burning first? or the weights first? or does it not matter?

Actually, I believe that doing cardio first helps to keep your heart rate up during strength training. With your heart rate up, you will burn more fat while lifting weights than you would if your heart rate was low. The best thing to do is to speak with someone who is certified in this field. If you don t want to spend the money on a trainer, just see if you can ask a trainer some of these basic questions so that you can design your own workout (search the internet to get some ideas). Everyone s body type is different and what works for you may not work for someone else and vice versa. Have fun (play some music while you exercise), make sure to eat right, and be consistent. I pray the best for you.P.S. I lost over 20 pounds and the main things that helped me were eating right and good cardio. My strength training consisted of light weights with 12-to-15 reps per set. Consistency to all of the above is the real key. You will hear all sorts of ideas, workout varieties, etc., but remember that whatever you do, you need to be consistent to get the results that you desire. 1 love in Christ. (Philippians 4:13) - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Weights first then the cardio. You want to get as much oxygen into your mucles to train them to burn fat. During your weights your heart rate should be up the entire time with about 15 reps per station using lighter weights. Then finish with cardio. My trainer is Jay Williams, she is a PHD and has a book out called 24 hour turnaround Check it out...it helps with every aspect to achieving your healthiest goals in life!

I don t think it matters

If you are losing weight do cardio first and then do weights. I had a personal trainer and lost 86lbs and I always did cardio first and then worked out with him. It worked!

Always do cardio first. But, make sure you vary your pace...so that your heart beats rate go up and down...so this way u will burn more calories fast.

You will be better off doing your resistence training first, so that you are fresh and have the energy to knock out an effective workout. Keep your weights session to about 30mins. You can then follow this with 30-60 mins of cardio. Remember to warm up before weight session with 5 min of light cardio, and to have a good 5-10 min stretch after workout. For your non-weights days, aim for at least 45 mins of cardio.As long as you keep your motivation up and maintain a healthy well balanced diet, you should see some awesome results.

cardio first becuase it burns more fat than weight and also muscle weighs more than fat and good luck!

10 Day Hoodia Diet? -

I am by no means asking for a miricale weight loss program. These pills have been sitting in my cabinet for quite some time... my sister bought them, but then later realized she couldnt take them because of some of the medication she was on... but anyways... I have opened that and looked at it every day... and I was just wondering are those safe for your body? Do they work? I would bet its only water weight right? and it says they curb your appetite.... is that why you loose weight?? WELL basically if you have any info on these pills... tell me what you think...

Ok, hoodia used to be used by africans if they were going on a hunt, they will grind the plant and eat it, I does curb your appetite.I used it , and it works, but I couldnt sleep, I was anxious all the time. (I suppose like on speed ) I dont know the quality of them, but if it says 3 or 4 pills per serving you know you should only take one.Drink lots of watter.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product which I think helps a lot in the process. I recommend you check this website http://www.slim-get.info , they have a free trial and you only pay $6.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!

Weight loss Plan??? -

Okay, I am 15, 16 in sept and 5 4 weigh 145-150 (it fluctuates) anyway, i think im a little too pudgy so i am going to try and lose 20-30 lbs. my mom got one of those bender ball thingys and i plan on using it 3-4 times a week and jogging 20-30 min on my treadmill the days i dont use it. I am also starting a 1200-1400 calorie diet with lots of fruits and veggies and limited amounts of meat, which isnt that unusual for me, bcuz i just dont like meat that much. any way, to the question does this sound like it will be an effective and healthy weight loss plan, also how long do you think it will take to reach my goal it if follow this plan??? thanks for your help

The weight loss programs usually adopt a holistic approach. The more, the merrier - all facets of life are necessary and better together than alone. Dieting or fasting alone is not the best means to reduce your body weight. The ideal weight loss programs usually combine a sensible diet (to shed weight) along with fifteen minutes of daily exercise (to lose the extra inches). The key to successful weight loss is to make enduring changes in your eating habits and lifestyle. If you really want your weight loss programs to be effective, you must feel strongly about it and adhere to the weight loss programs full-time. Do not despair if you stop losing pounds after a certain period or level of shedding weight. This is a ��weight plateau�� that most people hit, and is usually a transitory phase.For more effective tips on reducing weight, you can read abt them here: http://weight-loss.best-health-remedy.co��

I ve lost 30 ponds in three weeks and my friend lost 20 pounds in two weeks. It s a new and effective way to lose weight: http://freedetoxdiet.blogspot.com/

Helpful Tips for weight loss:1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watchKeep to a 1,200 food intakeAdd 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 1272) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Your exercise and diet is fine. Just cut your simple carbs, fast food and junk.I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for more than a year.Details such as meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blogXiaozhen

Most important thing you can do is this:1-eat every 2-3 hours (1-200 cal)--this speeds up your metabolism and keeps it moving. If you don t do this, your metabolism shuts down and stores fat.2-eat only protein and vegetables.......get your fiber from nuts. Do NOT have any fruit-it will take you out of ketosis (highest state of fat burning).....Have NO bread, pasta, carbs.......again, your only carbs should be from nuts and veggies.3--limit your dairy. Only cottage cheese and goats milk.4--drink a minimum of 8 8 oz. glasses of water a day5--limit caffeine--caffeine destabilized your blood sugars and causes you to eat.6-- get to sleep no later than 10pm....your body rebuild itself between the hours of 10pm-6am........sleeping 11-7 isn t the same.7--don t eat after a certain time of day.......if you are hundry, have herbal tea or something light-1oo calories max.8--cook in olive oil and make sure you don t over do on fats.9--move your body-walk, exercise......do a minimum of 30 min. every day.10--stay away from stress......stress releases a chemical that makes your body store fat.My doctor taught me all of these things and I ve lost 30 pounds in 2 months.Good luck.

Cut out, or at least cut way down on salt, sugar, fats and oils. Drinks lots of water and eat several small meals a day to keep your metabolism up, rather than three large meals.

How healthy would you rank my diet - one to ten? -

Okay, this is modified from a lot of junk and salt and crap, so im pleased with the changes regardless. But Im curious what other people think (im aiming for healthy weight loss, slow and not massive amounts quickly, so theres no point in telling me to eat a lot less, not gonna happen!) Thanks guysbreakfast: applesnack: bannanalunch: cheese sandwich on wholemeal bread, no butter, one packet of jacobs snack a jacks, one 4 finger kit katdinner: 2 grilled pork chops (visible fat removed) one jacket potato and sweetcorn, low fat chocolate mousseevening: two slices of wholemeal toast (no butter) with philadelphia (full fat), 3 vodka and diet cokes and a packet of hula hoops.

very good baby doll.

4I won t tell you what to and what not to remove from your list, but just my opinion, I would push some of your dinner /lunch/ evening down to the breakfast list. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.I don t get what the difference is between dinner and evening is though. If you have dinner, earliest by 5pm and evening by 8pm-10pm, you re body will still be digesting those lean (but still fatty) pork chops. The you ll be going to bed with that Philadelphia and that can t be good. Just throw one slice of that wholemeal toast (no butter) with Philadelphia (full fat) for breakfast, I think that would be a little better;-) Just my two cents. Take it from me hun, I m dieting too!!!

3 or 4

For a start...you are eating way too much food in the evening.Try to eat the bulk of your food in the morning, to give you the energy to last the day. Cut out chocolate and replace with some fruit and have a substantial breakfast.I would rate it 6.5.

I think that you should have a bigger breakfast. Only an apple in the morning isnt going to give the energy you need to go through the day. Only an apple will encourage snacking. Maybe try kellogs special k with berries, its very nice, and filling! Then you wont have to have a snack, but carry one just in case, to stop your stomach growling! Lunch is great, maybe takeway the kit kat and replace with fruit(Try to vary it!), and have a bottle of water, instead of coffie or tea (they stain, and can cause acid erosion on your teeth). In dinner add more vegatables. You need vitamins and minerals in your diet. I have my dinner at 7 or 8 o clock, then you wouldnt have to have that evening snack. But then you will have to have a snack between lunch and dinner, just the toast with philadelphia will do, and if your going to have coke, at least have full fat, coke is a treat really. Maybe submit it for pinnaple juice. Pinnaple juice gives you feel good hormones in your brain. Try to only drink when your going out with your friends, and then limit it, one of you needs to stay sober to pay the taxi fare!

7. you eat wayyyy too many sweets in one day tho, thats where you go wrong!!!get rid of the alcohol and diet coke, drink more WATER! and try to only have one sweet a day. and try to to gradually take sweets out of your daily intake, and maybe have a sweet once a week have one cheat day.

Better than the average american. Still a bit of sugar though. You need alot more vegetables and fruits. And just so you know, your doing a good job, but you should eat more in the mornings and less in the evening and drink 3 32oz cups of water per day. Ice water burns 300 more calories than room temp water.

5. Start out good. Lunch is iffy. Dinner you have corn and potato which is 2 starches. The Diet cokes have a lot of sugar.

7

2.5

0 because you dont have a real breakfast. Not having a proper breakfast throws your chance of losing weight in a healthy manner straight out the window.do you have 3 vodka and diet cokes everynight? thats too much (increases you risk of many nasty chronic diseases in the long term). your not eating enough vegetables. although it is good that you are choosing wholemeal over white.you are still consuming alot of salty foods (2 packets of chips in one day????)your also eating to much in the evening. try less and lighter. you have your day the wrong way around. more in the morning less in the evening.try drinking at least 2 litres of water aday. it helps your liver metabolise fat and leaves you less hungry.if you want any suggestions email me

Hmm, 6. Evening and night seem to slip a bit.

vodka and cola ?!? yuk. sounds like you need some jack and steak. to go with that cola. but seriously, sounds like something you should not eat everyday (or want to). but it does sound somewhat healthy, just throw in some leafy greens, or toss a salad.

7.4try heavy breakfast, and skip evening snack

You need a bigger breakfast,and get rid of the vodka and coke and the packet of hula hoops. 6/10

It starts out good, but gets worse as the day goes on... I d give it a 4... Not too horrible, but vodka and coke give you a TON of calories.

an apple for breakfast isn t gonna giv u enough energy for the dayalso, to improve weightloss, u shudnt b eating anything to do with bread or pasta after 3pm because it will store and not b burned off.are you going 2 b exercising during weightloss program of urs.exercise is the most important part wen it comes to weightloss

I went on Thedailyplate.com and calculated what you ate in terms of Calories, fat, protien, etc. Here is what you ate:Calories: 2,510 ----- My guess is that this is too high!Fat: 113g ----- Your ok here, but try to reduce the sat fat Cholest: 278mg ----- to highSodium: 2,504mg ---- WAY TO HIGHCarbs: 235g --------- your good here.Sugar: 67g -------- not to bad, but not to great eitherFiber: 26g --------- The more the better!Protein: 91g -------- To low.I would give you a 5. You are on the right track, but I don t think you truely understand what all you are putting into your body. you have to understand the mechanics of weight loss first, and then relate that to how your food will help or hinder your goals.Weight loss is as easy as Calories in versus Calories out.You have to burn 3100 calories to equal one pound! So for a 5 5 women who is 140 pounds, has an seditary lifestyle (When not working out, she is sitting at school or work, doesn t really do much physical labor in her daily life), her body burns 1200 calories just being alive! So she must eat 1200 calories to properly fuel her body for living. If she does no more physical activity, then she will gain weight if she eats over her 1200 calories. (and before you quote the daily recommended 2000, you are correct in thinking that 1200 is to low to get your recommended balance of food groups . However, we are talking weight loss and not food groups here. ) Ok. So if she is eating 1200, then she is breaking even and won t loose any or gain any. Now add a work out that burns 500-600 calories six times a week. That will equal your one pound per week.Go to the daily plate.com to find out how many calories your body burns daily. (remember when they ask you how active you are, they aren t including exercise because that is calculated seperatly.) Then once you have your calorie intake goal, use the myplate calorie calculator to determine what you are putting into your body.My personal daily calorie goal is 1220, but I work out really hard and burn 700+ calories per workout. So I eat 200 calories 15-30 mins before my workout (so that I don t shock out, or get sick feeling. Since my calorie intake is so low, I need to fuel myself right before my workout to help me get through my workout without feeling bad.) That way, I am netting 500 calories burned a day. (1220burned + 1220 consumed - 700burned +200 consumed = 500 net burned)I do this 6-7 days a week, and I m loosing about a pound a week. In the last 20 weeks I ve lost 15 pounds. (The first five weeks my body didn t loose any real weight, but I was also not regulating my calorie intake before my workouts..... so my body was fighting to keep the weight. Eating 100-200 calories before your 45 -60 minute workout is very important!!) Good luck

4 maybe a 6 ....Breakfast - you need more to start your dayLunch - cheese + KitkAt = alot of fatDinner - looks fine, but how do you eat the same thing over and over?!?Evening: you should be eating in the evening (2-3 hourse before bed) ...

You need to increase your breakfast size. Eat a big breakfastIt is interesting to note that 80 percent of the people who are overweight eat a small breakfast or none at all. Eighty percent of thin people eat a large breakfast. Your breakfast should consist of as much as you want of the following items. Everything listed should be organic. Apples, pears, berries, kiwis, pineapples, grapefruit, plums, peaches, prunes, figs, rye bread, raw butter (raw means not pasteurized and not homogenized), raw milk, plain yogurt (this means no sugar or fruit), wild smoked salmon, beef in any form as long as it��s organic, chicken in any form as long as it��s organic, lamb in any form as long as it��s organic, tuna, sardines, eggs, tomatoes, peppers, salsa, celery, carrots, any vegetable, potatoes in limited amounts, coffee in limited amounts made with pure water not tap water with raw milk or cream and raw evaporated sugar cane juice or honey as a sweetener, real tea (not tea in tea bags).Also dont forget to drink water, People think drinking water will make them gain weight and be bloated. The exact opposite is true. If you are overweight you need to flush the toxins from your fat cells. Water is absolutely needed for you to lose weight fast.You could add in a salad before lunch and dinner also. I don��t care if your lunch is a cheeseburger, French fries, and a pint of ice cream, add to it a big, huge salad and eat that first. You��ll be amazed that you lose weight. The salad can contain anything you like as long as it is only vegetables and they are organic. The salad dressing should be organic olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, or organic vinegar. If you really want to speed the weight loss process use organic apple cider vinegar. Add some organic sea salt, fresh ground pepper, or some garlic for taste. Absolutely NO diet sodas or diet foodDiet sodas have been called the ��new crack�� because they appear to be so physically addicting. They actually make you fat. The reason they are promoted so heavily is because people become physically addicted to them and they are cheaper to make than regular sodas. I did an interesting experiment with people who drank diet sodas on a regular basis. For two weeks they replaced their diet soda with regular high-calorie sugar sweetened soda. Amazingly, no one gained any weight. Even more shocking was 80 percent of the people actually lost weight. One person lost seven pounds! This was stunning to me. Diet foods fall into the same category. Do not eat anything that is being presented as a diet food. They are loaded with ingredients that will actually make you fatter, and make you physically addicted.For more free tips on how to lose weight check my site there is a link to it in my profile.

I give u a big 0 ZERO.If u believe this is a diet then u should be really st..id.

4 , coz if u r aiming for a weight loss u should follow this: breakfast - eat like a kinglunch - eat like a queendinner - eat like a pauper

2. There are more nutritious methods that would allow you to lose the same or more amount of weight and in fact eat more. Eat less in the evening and more in the morning. When you sleep, the evening carbs are stored. In the morning, you have time to burn the carbs throughout the day.

4 :(Not enough leafy greens and vege, except for the apple,banana, jacket potato and corn.Instead of diet cokes, you could juice some fruit and vege. and drink more unsweetened white or green tea, or just plain water.Enjoy and indulge in your favourite snacks, but portion and frequency is important. Think small and infrequent :)Weight loss is achievable; slowly. It has to be coupled with exercise too, for overall success.Hope this helps :)

why do you have so much after dinner???

I rank it 8 out of ten!
