Does anyone have any quick, easy weight loss tips/advice/anything???!?!?!!? -

So I just visited the doctors office. I got some bad news and in order to switch it into good news I need to lose weight. So I m thinking 30 to (maybe)40 pounds. I ll be going back to the doctors in 4 months(April 2010). So I d like to lose it by then. I know it s not an east task but I m willing to work with it. I d really appreciate it if anyone had any advice other than the obvious. Is there any certain excersise I should do? Certain foods I should eat?Please Thanks.

push ups pull ups dips jumping jacks and weight lifting, because muscle burns fat really well even after you workout or are sleeping btw dont worry about getting bulky its very difficult and takes a long time even for guys. anyway those exersises work very well and swimming laps, drink lots of water dont drink pop or at least not too much as for foods dont eat chips, cookies, fast food, mabye every now an then but if you want to lose fat asap then no junk food at all and again drink lots of water and try running hard and sprinting instead of long distance jogging

I did some studying on this at college for my case study and learnt a fair bit. I d recommend that you learn a little on the science behind weight loss, there isn t much to know other than that the food industry do mislead you, forget weight watchers products and the like - cutting down fats is not useful to anyone in the long run.Some effective methods are the low GI diet, and the low carb diet (by low carb I do not mean Atkins!)If you want to lose weight, then sugars and starchy carbs are what you must avoid, since they cause insulin levels to spike and food is then converted into fat much quicker, and you are hungry again before you have burnt it off! Eg, if you eat a bowl of cornflakes and drink orange juice for breakfast, the rate at which your body makes energy from it will be so quick, that it has after about 30 mins already reached its peak and gone beyond the insulin threshold, leaving you as hungry as you were before despite you consuming enough. The body converts high GI foods into fat very quickly indeed!Also, please do not be fooled by the idea that you can just abstain from food for long periods and lose the wieght, since this does nothing but slow your metabolism. Any weight you lose by doing this will be gained much quicker. Small regular meals will maintain blood sugar and keep your body burning off fat most efficiently.If you focus on nutrtional value, good quality lean proteins, good fats, and abundance in vegetables and low sugar fruits such as berries and apples, with a small amount of wholegrains like wheat, rye, oats, rice, etc, you will find you have more energy and can then exercise. Detoxification always helps, but some people think this is not for them. If you can be this strict, then do so. Being unhealthy will hinder you as you will feel lethargic and wont want to burn off the fat!Good luck :-)

Exercises - focus mainly on weightlifting, on full-body lifts - squats, pushups, pullups. They trigger your body into gaining muscle a lot better then little, couple-muscle lifts like bicep curls. Weight lift before cardio.Certain foods - just eat as clean as you can. Fewer sugars, dairy, processed. Think of eating as little as possible from a package.I would try to find a program to follow - it ll keep you from being overwhelmed, and make sure you stay healthy with your efforts. Fat Burning Furnace is a good, easily achieved program that isn t too much work - three 20 minutes workouts a week, and basic diet advice. http://activelyloseweight.com/recommends/FatBurning Furnace . Very other then the obvious - I ve used Eat Stop Eat for a long time. It shows you how to use mini-fasts - just 24 hours, once or twice a week, as a way to lose a LOT of weight. You can use it in addition to any other weight loss or workout plan, and I find it to be very effective. These breaks from eating do wonders for things like hunger hormones and insulin levels too - it explains why in the program. http://activelyloseweight.com/recommends/EatStopEat . If you want more of a review from me, I posted some videos and a review at http://activelyloseweight.com/eat-stop-eat-review .Hope that helps! Best of luck and continuing good health to you!
