I know that I should start eating 5-6 small meals a day and exercising daily. I eat pretty healthy when I do eat, but I also eat when I m not hungry, I need some tips, any tips would be great! thanks. For losing this weight thealthy.

I have lost 18 pounds simply by only eating when I am hungry, eating foods that I don t necessarily LOVE , but still like (so I won t be tempted to over eat) and also eating ridiculously slowly, taking tiny bites, and savoring it in my mouth. By doing all this, I become satisfied with less than 1/2 of the amount of food I used to eat. I am sleeping better, and while the first week was HARD, now it is so easy.GOOD LUCK

thank you so much and I wish you more succes than me!!!!!!you go girl!!! Report Abuse

ok.. so you are trying too lose 37 pounds??So try cardio,healthy eating (no grease), Jog/walk/run every morning (thats what i do), try not to eat fast foodHope i helped

How many pounds is healthy to lose? -

I know that the healthy weight loss amount for one week is 1 - 2 lbs. If you go from barely exercising and not eating well, to changing your eating and exercise habits, itsn t it true that in the beginning you usually drop more than that in a week for the first 2 or 3 weeks because your body is used to a higher caloric intake?

as many as you think you are over by. Your body is used to the calorie intake so if you deprive your body from this energy i doubt you will be able to train or work out as you want. You should try talking to a dietitian to start on a steady metabolism diet, after that stay on the gym and stay on the goods (food).

Don t listen to advice about acai....If your diet is really bad you want to generally phase things out or you won t stick to the diet. Try to eat natural foods, meaning could you find them in nature? Lots of veggies, lean protein, and some fruit. Exercise is different by individual don t jump in too hard or you ll get injured because your body isn t used to start slowly and build up.

If you are very serious about losing weight you should have this program. It worked for me and it is the only weight loss program that lost me 10 pounds in 2 weeks. It works very well and using correct info will lose your weight fast . You can find more info from http://bit.ly/iebvd

yeah for like the first two weeks, and if you are overweight you could probably lose 5lbs in the first weeks easily, however if your just trying to shift that last 10 -20lbs then you wont lose more than 3 lbs the first 2 weeks

1-2 pounds a week

Weight Training? -

I am happy that i have lost 14lbs in two weeks and now want to start the weight training part of my weight loss program. I have a marcy mwm 900 home gym and was wondering if anyone knew of a good beginners work out? Is it better to do more reps of a lower weight or less reps of a higher weight? Is there any particular order in which to work the body?

Obviously there are many different ways to go about starting a weight training program. You will get many different opinions too. A lot of what is stated in the sugestions that you have already heard are correct. The main thing that you will want to make sure of is that it is enjoyable to you. Of course it is a lot of work but a good weight training program can be very satisfying. Especially when you are able to maintain your weight loss. Choosing a weight training program really comes down to what you want to accomplish and what you can stick to. One reference that I often direct people to is EXRX.net. It is a great website with a wealth of reliable information that is contributed by certified trainers and nutritionists. Best of all it is a free resource. Definitely check it out.Here is a link to the begginers page: http://exrx.net/Beginning.htmlPS.Be careful with those crash diets.

Start out doing all body parts at lower weight and higher reps(call it phase 1) 3 times a week. Once you ve done that for a few weeks, you can split your workouts into upper and lower body, 2x a week each (phase 2). Then once you have done that for a while, you can break it down further like this:Monday - Chest and TricepsTuesday - Quads and AbsWednesday - offThursday - Shoulders, Back and BicepsFriday - Hamstrings and CalvesSaturday - OffSunday - OffThis way you never workout more than 2 days in a row and give your body time to rest. All the while you can move towards a higher weight/lower reps workout.Also, make sure you change your workout structure every 4 weeks or so to keep your body guessing.

Less reps of a higher weight builds muscle mass and strength quicker, while lower weights and more reps tones your muscles. Many people tend to disagree on how one should split the workout, but you really should try to do exercises that work out more than one muscle, like a chest-press or a row. I d also suggest that you switch off between the more and less reps every other time you work out.

The order doesn t matter. You will lose weight much better by diet than by exercise. More weight and fewer repetitions is better for building muscle. For losing weight, many, many repetitions at low weight might burn a lot more calories.I ve seen people sit on the couch and lift little weights. That s not weight lifting. No pain, no gain.About one person in ten gets almost no benefit from exercise. It s genetic and you can t change your ancestors.

First Let me just say that is seriously amazing that you lost 14 pounds in two weeks. Secondly don t do more reps with light weight always go for the heavier and less reps. Obviously within reason but basically if you can do more than ten its too light. People are going to tell you alot of BS about using light weights, well it doesn t work.

What are some easy weight loss tips? -

like is drinking water 1 of them? I don t know but i would be happy if you can share some of your easy changes and tips that helped you loss weight :)

Drinking water helps, it helps you feel full and i always have a water bottle around, so instead of snacking when im not even hungry, i ll drink my water.if you don t like water that much, buy some crystal light(or other things like those) there like 5 calories and taste like juice.also, if you like walking, or biking, or running, start doing those.You don t have to start a whole regime, but jut doing minimum 20 minutes, a few times a week can help.also, snaking on fruits and yogurt, instead of candy and ice cream, will definitely help.If you don t like veggies or fruit, just start out by eating a little, and you ll eventually start craving em :)

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).

You need to find a form of exercise that you really enjoy. Work out at home while your watching TV. Or do online workouts, you can go to www.aerobicsavenue.com they have a good variety of classes you can try, like aerobics, yoga, dance etc

What are some good tips for summer weight loss? -

I m hoping to lose weight for next summer, and I m looking for some good weight loss tips.

After reading a lot of weight loss tips, I��ve caught myself saying ��I��m not going to be able to do that!�� I��m sure that we all have. A good summer weight loss tip is going to have to be something that you��d actually do, obviously. Keeping that mind, I hope that you��ll find the following weight loss tips helpful to you. Over the years they have helped me maintain my current weight, and they��ve also helped me lose weight as well. These are some of the easiest and most effective weight loss tips I��ve found.At first, when I started trying to lose weight, I went along with the traditional attitude that eating snacks in-between meals was counter-productive to an effective weight loss program. I cut out snacks from my diet altogether as a result of that belief. I found that the problem was that by the time I sat down to start eating my meal, I was so hungry that I couldn t control my portion sizes efficiently.I found that I can keep my blood sugar at a decent level (and keep my appetite satisfied too) by eating more healthy and sensible snacks in between smaller meals. In fact, over the more recent years, research has shown that you can keep your body��s metabolic rate productive and steady by eating smaller meals spaced out throughout the day rather than the traditional ��3 square meals�� ideology. You can mix your carbs and proteins when selecting your snacks. Low-fat cheese on some wheat crackers and some grapes would be a great example of a healthy snack.Portion control can be better managed, and if not, it will become a large stumbling block. You can purchase smaller, single serving foods, and use plastic bags to enforce portion sizes. You can always use regular sized foods, but use small plastic bags to separate out smaller portions in case buying single-sized foods turns out to be too much of a strain on your budget. That��s a great weight loss tip, since sometimes eating straight from the original packaging will cause you to eat more than you should.The calories in the food will count just as much, even if the food is advertised as either low-fat or reduced in fat. Be sure to double-check your serving size by reading the food��s nutrition label. After measuring out the appropriate serving sizes, you can then store them in your plastic bags.Another one of the greatest weight loss tips is ice water! Place a small bottle of water in your freezer. This is a great idea to keep your water cold, and most weight loss programs recommend drinking water anyway. After some time, the water will form a small block of ice inside the bottle as it begins to freeze. That small block of ice will continue to keep the surrounding water very cold as it melts.Sometimes it��s boring to just drink plain water. Just for the sake of variety, you can keep low-calorie flavored waters in the refrigerator as well. Request an ice water with extra lemon slices in it when you��re dining out. Then, just add some artificial sweeteners and you��ve made diet lemonade to enjoy!Most of the time, the regular versions of foods that you��re used to taste a lot better than their reduced fat and low-fat equivalents. However don��t be discouraged, and continue to try the low-fat and non-fat alternatives of your favorite foods. You might be surprised to find a low-fat version of your favorite food, and there��s a chance that you��ll like it more than the original.You also might want to consider that there could be some places in your home that you associate with eating. You might stop and look for a snack while lingering around the kitchen �C instead, leave the kitchen after eating. You might be tempted into eating a dessert if you sit longer at the dinner table after you��ve finished your meal. Instead, as soon as you��re finished eating, try getting up and going for a walk. You��ll enjoy the extra exercise, plus it will help get your mind off of eating, food, and snacks. You might need to change where you do things to stay away from these ��problem areas�� if you have a hard time fighting the temptation of food.You can help yourself lose weight by breaking the habit of using food as a comfort and as a stress-reliever. You could listen to music, read a book, go for a walk or jog, or just do some exercise. The point is that each different activity you select can be a viable alternative to eating when you need to relieve stress.Schedules can become hectic and full very fast. Squeezing weight loss programs in your already busy life can be a very difficult task. Sometimes it can be hard to find the time in one place, but it��s recommended to try and get at least 30 minutes of good physical activity each day. You can try to break your 30 minute block of time into smaller 10 or 15 minute blocks. You��ll be able to get some much needed exercise by spreading the smaller blocks of time throughout your evening and day.Exercise is cumulative, and keep in mind too that getting more and more physical activity can help you burn off calories
