I could use some weight loss tips.? -

I have a daily exercise routine: I run a do twenty push-ups and crunches every morning and every evening. And I run a mile daily.I eat fairly healthy. I tend to stay away from from greasy, oily foods. I eat a lot of fruits and salads, and I don t drink sodas.But I am still over-weight! Any ideas on what to do?

A very important weight loss idea that many people overlook is water. People don t want to drink water because they think of water weight but it is the exact opposite. Have water with u at all times. First off cold water suppresses hunger and warm water gives ur body the illusion of being full. It flushes ur system i.e. the more you pee the better. Its great for your skin and ur digestive track also. NO SODA PERIOD. If you only drink water for a week and no other liquids and eat normally you will see results. Eventually u have to start dieting more and exercise. Start easy just take a light run or if u don t want to go outside if ur not comfortable enough with your body yet get a taeboo video and do it in your house. Dont crash diet and go nuts but try to stay away from sugar and really limit your carbohydrates. Try to eat lean meat like chicken, turkey and fish is very good. Like i said take it slow and as you start to see even the slightest results it will motivate u to do more. Oh and by the way, you should weigh urself but make sure its first thing in the morning, after you have peed, naked, and at the same time evryday. Its the only way you will completley know the true results. Good luck!!!

mabye try to cut down on ur food portion or cut ur calories in half thaat should help

its really all the basic stuff you already know and hate to hearreduce your caloric intake by 500,so if you were eating 2,000 then take it to 1,500 and so onmake healthier choicesdont cut out your favorite foodsjust eat them in moderationlike 100 calories of your favourite food a dayyou CAN still lose weight and eat something nice too :]just wouldnt reccomend any more than thatdo half hour of cardio every dayand like weight traininggo for a long walkuse stairs instead of liftsdance!jump ropemake your own little routine workout like you have, but vary it! your bodys probably used to what you do so change it a little :]weigh yourself once a week around the same timeyou can do it :] and good luckjust takes some timebe patientxo

Try drinking a glass of water right before you eat, that makes you feel a little bit fuller so you don t eat as much.Try doing 2 miles now instead of just 1.Do 40 pushups and crunches every morning and evening.Push yourself harder each time.Best of luck,Alex=)

Start keeping a log on what you are eating sometimes the things we put on our salads have just as many calories as having a cheeseburger and french fries.

drink lots of water

If you want to lose weight, you need to two things: eat less and exercise more. Weight gain happens when you create a calorie surplus (eat more than you burn). Your body takes the excess calories and converts them to fat which get stored around your stomach, arms and thighs. The longer you remain in a calorie surplus, the more weight you ll gain. To lose that weight, you need to do the opposite. You need to create a calorie deficit (start eating less than you burn). Your first step is to figure out how many calories you burn on a daily basis. This calculator will help you out http://calorieneedscalculator.com The number you get from this tool is what your body burns on a daily basis. To lose weight, simply eat less. It sounds a lot easier than it is but making small changes helps you adjust to a new lifestyle. Don t think of this as a diet, think of it as a new life. Instead of eating foods high in sugars, white flour and saturated fat, go with fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, fish, lean meats, nuts and beans. In addition to eating less, you also need to exercise more. Start off at 1-2 times per week and work your way up to 3-5 times per week.Don t make all of these changes at once or you won t be able to properly adjust to them. Generally, eating healthier foods will decrease your calorie intake. Compare a doughnut to an apple and you ll see that healthy foods are lower in calories.
