Please..weight loss tips?? =]? -

ok so i am 15, and i want to lose weight. i hate who i am and i gotta change it. I talked to my parents and grandparents about it and my grandparents said they would give me $250 if I lose at least 25 lbs by Christmas. Im so excited, but I need tips. Will drinking water really help me lose weight? and help is greatly appreciated =]

Yes. Drinking lots of water will help a lot. Not only do you stay hydrated, you also keep your tummy full, and you will feel less hungry.Be careful, my young friend. Health is its own reward. It is wonderful that your grandparents are willing to encourage you in this way. Do NOT go overboard, however. Do it SENSIBLY. Sensibly means cut down your calories to a reasonable level. 1200-1500 is about right for a girl your age. Do not dip below 1000.Add in a moderate amount of strength training (i.e., weights ) and cardio (e.g., jump rope, skating, aerobics) at least 3-5 times/week. 30-45 minutes segments are just about right.You can achieve this goal if you make a plan and stick to it.Good luck!~M~

you might want to get with a trainer,but i would suggest not sitting down . stay busy with your hands.eat slowly. it takes awhile for food to reach the tummy and settle in so you can eat 20 minuteslonger than need be stop when you feel that you will be full.i eat only when i want to whatever i want and however much i want.i try to eat things that will be good for me or as close to it as possible. i move around allot. i ride a bicycle almost everywhere i go.i dont just whistle a tune and amble along .i get very busy. i can ride 10 miles in 20-25 minutes.i am 50. i lost 25 lbs in a year. but the best part is it toned my body. ok i have an eight pack ok?i do other excercise but quite a variety.part of staying busy.if you get into the physical world.you ll find that you lkike it and you wont go back.it becomes easy,fun and addictive.break it up but stay busy.you ll eventually discover a basic routine to stay active and when you look back at who you were, you will be proud of yourself .thats what its all about. pride. good luck.

Replacing soda pop with water will definitely help, give eating fast food a rest. Eat light. Pretend you had Gastric bypass, and only eat how much you think they would eat. Most important, Run, Run, and Run some more, and when your tired of running, Run some more.For more ideas, on your yahoo/answers page, in the search box type, weight loss for a 15 year old, click search. Good Luck!

ok i have that problem too....but tha best thing i suggest is...well yew can eat anything and just as long as yew eat small portions of it...drink lotz of water....don t drink soda or anything sweet jus drink water and eat small portions of wutever yew want..

lower the carbohydrate intake, and stay away from sugar and corn syrup. Eat fish and chicken as your primary sources of animal protein and eat plenty of salads....just don t load them up with fattening dressings, try to use some olive oil and vinegar. Drinking water flushes out the fat in the body and helps controll the appetite.

Weight loss pills, excercise, and better eating habits. I do a reduced calorie diet. It helps me stay where I want to be.

Weight loss tips for a 15-year old girl? -

I m fifteen years old, soon to be sixteen, and I weigh 184 lbs. I want to lose weight before my next year of High School, because I ve always wanted to be skinny. My problem is that my mother is never home to cook meals, and I don t know how to cook too well, so she always brings home dinner. Therefore, I love fast foods and I would still like to eat them, just not as much(so now I make what I can at home and eat out only on weekends). I m pretty good when it comes to snacking, because I eat these 40 cal puddings that I can make myself. I go walking almost every morning with my best friend for about an hour and thirty minutes.I m a picky eater, so I need help. I also live in a bad area, so exercising is not always an option. However, I really want to lose weight for good and I ll try nearly anything this time around. I need tips, maybe healthy recipes I can learn to cook, and low calorie GOOD snacks I can have instead of what I usually eat. Please give me advice. I m just a teenage girl that wants to look thin.

Hey hun, I understand your struggle to want to become healthier. Americans in general are growing larger due to the conveinence of fast food, and ready-made meals. When you have time, do some research on easy healthy snacks and meals to make at home. Instead of eating the puddings, you should switch to jello. Jello is a lot less fattening. Switch to drinking water (tap or bottled) , and if you happen to get a sugar craving for something sweet, then just buy some flavored water, or a sports drink like gatorade or powerade.Elimate FROZEN dinners, and pre-packaged meals. Easy things to make at home for someone young, Sandwhichs, Oatmeal, Rice, Vegetables (canned, frozen, or fresh.....canned vegetables are cheap and super easy to heat up), and eat plenty of Fruit (fruit generally is considered as a snack, and they are SWEET and help keep you away from unhealthy sweets) Just make sure if you eat canned fruit, that you try to avoid the stuff that is heavy in the syrup, try to look for light syrup , or eat dried fruits with nuts (they have several different types of trail mixes...however if you eat trail mixes, avoid the ones with the m m s and other candies)DONT eat fast food unless you have too! If you know your parents or yourself are going to Mcdonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC...etc...go online to their website, and they have nutritional information of their foods....look up the one with the least amount of Calories and Sat Fat! ( http://www.helpguide.org/life/fast_food_�� ) is a good idea to visitEXERCISE!One tip for exercise, continue walking daily (if it is safe to do so)...If exercising isn t the best choice where you live, and you have no access to a gym membership, then you can buy things to do at home. You can get a jump rope and make it a hobby to jump, you can always use canned foods as weights to exercise with. Hope this helps, if you want any more tips feel free to email me @ hebdomad@hotmail.com

Drink water. Lots of it. Just giving up sodas and other sugary drinks will help. Also try to get involved with a sport at school.

*No drink such as cans, pop, milk(except low fat or soymilk),beers, tea(unless no milk and sugar), coke or even diet coke! *Only drink water, at least 8 glass of water per day.*Only eat 2 meal per day*No eating during 09:00pm or above. *If u not vegetarian then try eat 1/3 veg per meal*More fruit.*No sweet, salt thing like candy or crisp.*Oh try carrots stick with homous, they are pretty nice.*At least 1 hour for execrise/workout each day, recommend 2 hours.*Try to not sit much as possible.*No fast food, pizza, takeaways..If you can do them, it should take about 2 or 3 months.. and you will become thin.

work out put some music on your ipod if u have one and take a run to somewhere at least once a day. im 15 and my weight is 115 and im a picky eater 2, but now i eat healthy foods, for instance if you want a snack eat the 100 calories packs cookies i eat them they are good and they dont do much ask ur mom if u can go to the gym if u cant walking and exercising and eating the right food are also a good way to eat when ur mom goes food shooping go with her to buy the right food to eat.... goood luckk p.s. drink lots of water

Congratulations on taking steps to improve your health and your overall well-being! There are many tips that can be used everyday to assist in weight loss and improving heath. Drink plenty of water. Your body will store water which will appear as excess weight on your body if it feels you are not consuming enough. If you drink plenty of water, your body will not store as much water because it anticipates that you keep it hydrated.Eat multiple small meals during the day. Never skip breakfast. Eating breakfast will get your metabolism going for the day and will aid in burning off calories faster when you eat. Small meals during the day keep you from being hungry and therefore will prevent you from over-eating when you have a larger meal like dinner. Don t stress! You are young and there are many worries about weight and appearance. Love yourself and know that weight loss is the result of not only changing your lifestyle and eating habits but also not stressing about results. When we stress it can lead to impulse-eating, and decrease the body s ability to burn fat.Excercise everyday for at least 10 mins. For at least 10 mins a day get your sweat on! You want an elevated heart rate (proper for your age and weight). You dont need a gym or equipment to do this, be creative. Jog, jump in place, hula hoop, jump rope etc. for 10 min.Here is a website that is free and will help you to read tips, track and monitor your progression while on your weight loss journey.

I really want to lose 50 pounds, and I know that will take a couple of months or more, but I want to feel good about myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Blueberries strawberries rasberries are GREAT for you-Also Broccoli and Celery are great 4 u 2! these give you energy and nutritionGood Luck :-)

One, I need you to remember this important thing: Losing weight takes time. Some good advice that I have read in many places is this: 30 mins 3x a week for good heart health; to lose weight cardio should be 30 mins intense or 45 minutes moderate. You should look into doing calisthenics, which is cardio with weight training starting out 3 times a week at beginner level. Then you can bump it up to five days a week (or just doing it every other day) at 45 minutes. Bump up intensity as you gain experience and always remember to give your muscles a rest (at least 24 hours between sessions, hence the every other day suggestion). They have to repair themselves because that is what helps you to lose weight.

First find your body frameWrap your middle finger and thumb around your wristSmall Frame if they overlapMedium Frame if they barely touchBig Frame if they do not touch at allSmall Frame: 108-115Medium Frame: 116-128Large Frame: 129-145Try doing it like that and you will see how much you should weigh.Once you see your ideal weight than try lots of cardio running, jump roping and jumping jacks. Also try aerobics exercises such as squats and ab crunches, leg rises and try involving some kind of weights to keep you balanced and add some muscle. Try to weight yourself once or at the most twice a month or you will obsess about it

girl you gotta eat less bread, not carbs, but bread stuff that has gluten, it will say it contains wheat. avoid dairy thats really unnatural. i lost 20 punds going paleo ( which is fruits veggies nuts meats rice) i feel great! its not just about losing the weight its about feeling better and living your life! and try running on the trreadmill to really make your self sweat. youll start seeing results and forget the sugar processed foods like cookies and bread, seriously girl go paleo!!

Well in reality in would be extremely tough to lose 50 pounds but try doing some weight training and turn any fat into muscle. Cardio is also very good but try going on the tred for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 in the evening and keep eating healthy!It may take time but keep up the good work!

I recommend you my weight loss way. It works very well and easy. If you are really serious about losing weight. You should have a look weight loss correct way. It will work for you if you do it correct. I lost 18 pounds in 8 weeks with this way. You can get more info at link below.

Eat 2324 calories per day (m m and junk food doesn t count)Exercise = 30 minutes (Crunches, Treadmill, Sit Ups etc.)WaterYou need 245.8 grams of carbohydrates, 65.4 grams of fat, and 98.5 grams of protein per day for 2324 calories to maintain your goal weight of 105 pounds once you reach your goal.

If you have problems with weight do what I did - try acai berry. If you wish to lose weight its superfood qualities help plenty - however those same qualities in addition help those who are trying to bulk up. Magic! There is a free trial happening right now at http://cupids.newslimmingdiet.info , give it a try, what have you got to lose?

if you are having problems loosing weight on what your actually doing now then you are going to have to do more working out and possibly more healthier diet..but you didnt say your diet so im not exactly sure but doing more exercise will almost always solve the problem.i lost 36lbs in 2 weeks by eating less, drinking water, and playing basketball for about 2 hours a day.

Normal daily meals will keep your weight steady but they re not good for loosing weight. Eat tiny amounts of healthy food more often and it will greatly increase your metabolism. That s what wrestlers do when they are trying to cut down to a certain weight for the team.

Hi Emily,I have lost 35 pounds in the last two months with this great weight loss plan and exercise. I have a lot of energy and am not hungry all the time. If you want to know more please email me at vanannajanke@yahoo.com . It really works and I ll be glad to answer any questions. Thanks, Anna

Start with such a simple thing is completely exclude any soft drinks and sugary snacks. This can help you lose 10-20 pounds easily. Don t eat anything past 7-8 o clock. Stay away from fast food.

You are screwed.

Eat less pies.

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).

I see nothing wrong with that weight at all.The best thing to start with is being compfortable and happy with yourself. I weigh 160lbs down from 180lbs. I simply watched my portions.It s not always the calories that get you and the bad foods, alot of america has lost control on portioning meals. Most poeople will eat until they are full. That is not a sign of a decent meal but a sign that your stomach is has expanded to it s limit or close to it. I suggest eating enough to fight off the hunger feeling but not enough to get that full feeling. The weight seems to fall of on me at least using this strategy. I lost 20lbs in 3 months eating fast food. All I did was limit my portions. That way you can eat, be happy, and still reach your goal weight. But remember, it s not worth it if you are not going to be happy with who you are in the first place.

Weight loss tips and motivation? -

I m 21 years old, a mother of two a college student and I work four jobs. I currently weight about 175 and I really want to lose weight. Part of the weight is from having my children but still I can not resists food. I really need some tips and motivation. I don t need rude comments telling me to get off my rear because trust me my two children keep me running and I play tennis on a regular basis I just can t seem to lose the weight. Some one please help and provide me advice. I love my food, I hate fish and I know a lot of people recommend eating fish. I can t stand it. Any way any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Most diet program or exercise regimen should work for you, but the challenge is whether or not you will stick to the workout. That s where the psychology of working out comes into play. When you understand what makes people quit and the strategies that make people stick to it for the rest of their life, then whatever you choose as a diet program or exercise routine will work mainly because you re able to stick with it.Hopefully you will get to the point where NOTHING will taste as good as being fit feels.This article shows you the psychology of sticking to a workout. Good Luck.

HelloHere s what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.The reality is that there are no shortcuts or easy ways to get in good shape. Sorry, but someone needed to tell you this.As long as you get conscious about what you are doing, you will see the results. Below you will find the four principles that you need to keep in mind in your weight-loss journey.http://thefatlosssecret.blogspot.com/1.Forget About DietsPeople that go from diet to diet never reach a stable weight, let alone a good shape. The reason is quite simple: diets are, by their very nature, temporary. You can��t expect to eat properly for two or three weeks and fix your weight problems for the rest of the year.2.Proper NutritionIf you want to keep your weight and fat percentage under control, you will need to learn the basics of nutrition. Once you learn them, you will be able to eat healthy throughout the year.3.Physical ExerciseEating healthy and having a caloric deficit will only take you half the way. The other key factor is physical exercise.4.Discipline and PerseveranceYou can start eating healthy and exercising properly, but unless you stick doing it regularly, the results won��t appear (if they do, they won��t last).Discipline and perseverance are key here.Did you know 90% of fat is caused by 3 major factors? Find out exactly whatthey are and how easily it is to solve them here http://thefatlosssecret.blogspot.com/.

I need help losing weight!!!? -

I want to know all the weight loss tips, tricks, exercises, food things, and anything else that can help with weight loss. Thanks a bunch!!

well you have to make sure you re eating a healthy balanced diet first off. then you can try to do things to boost your metabolism. and then you can think about exercises.this is a copy and paste about healthy eating:eat low calorie low fat foods that are less dense (think soup). so out of fruits and vegetables, meats, and dairy, eat more of the foods that tend to be lighter in a smaller serving . for example watery fruits like watermelon and oranges versus fruits like apples/bananas/pineapples. or chicken soup versus clam chowder. 75% of your diet should be fruits, veggies, and whole grains and 2/3 of that (50%) should be raw/unprocessed. so less pasteurized juice, less applesauce, less bread and more oranges, celery, and popcorn or rolled oats (which are unprocessed whole grains).more to add: try to eat rich good-tasting filling foods and avoid refined processed fake cheap food. if you crave icecream, eat as much as you want (slowly). trust me i ate 2 pints of ben and jerry s icecream over a 2-week period just a couple months ago and it did not affect me at all. also had cake/cheesecake/etc pretty much once a week. i am still losing weight consistently and i never had a high metabolism growing up.a couple of things that have helped speed up my metabolism are drinking lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning, having spicy foods more often (like wasabi with sushi), taking apple cider vinegar, drinking green tea, and increasing my use of coconut oil. also eating more often and eating slowly so I can tell when to stop. and don t watch tv while you eat.with exercising i do very little aerobic or cardio exercise. just a little walking a few times a week. i do tai chi for 20 minutes twice a week.the key is to do some type of strength or resistance training once or twice a week. if you are doing this along with aerobic exercise you will lose the right kind of weight - just fat instead of fat with muscle mass and bone density. so in the long run more fat just comes off without you even having to do as much exercise as you were probably doing before.

i was 145 and now am 121, for the most part have done a good job keeping the weight off this time, and have learned why past weight losses were failures. key thing for you to understand is that there is weight loss and weight loss with repercussions. the hard things to do definitely is keeping the weight off once you have lost it. when losing weight, don t do things all at once and make it drastic. lose 1-2 pounds a week. with eating, i suggest you eat palm size portions about 5-6 times a day. eat fruits and veggies, and try to stay away from oils and meat and pork. chicken is okay in moderation. if you also want some tone with muscles, then eat protein after strength training exercises, a good healthy protein source is egg whites and tofu. do cardio about 3 times a week for approx. 30-40 minutes. and don t give up. incorporate exercise into your daily routine. good luck.

ok well Ive recently lost 20 lbs. things I did was:-running 3 times a week-weight training-eating healthyBreakfast-toast, fruit, or oatmeallunchsoup, sandwich, or saladsnackpretzels or popcorndinnerchicken with ricealso, drink a glass of water before a meal, it will make you full fasterI also eat what I want on the weekends, but since you are starting out, I would eat healthy until 2 weeks, so you dont gain the weight back

i was on a diet for 5 months(took that long to reach my target weight loss of 30lbs)and did the below.learn to count calories and you can eat what you want just not as much as you want.eat no more than 500cals per meal(exception is a special day like a holiday,birthday).you can eat less than 500.250-300cals is an okay amount.try to eat about every 3hrs. that way your blood sugar will stay stabilized and you won t feel overly hungry or bad.try to eat about 5 times a day. three small meals and two snack.i ve been off my diet for 1 month and since i got use to eating the way i did for 5 months i still lost 3lbs this month(during the holidays). so now i am trying to eat a little more to keep my weight where it is.///about exercise. yes i exercise and my advice is to do any exercise/activity that you enjoy enough to stick with. i only exercised about 30mins. 3 x a week.

Weight loss tips that are fast and affective? -

i need to loose weight, i need help!

-You need a strong will. Refuse the temptation you have to eat all the candy, chips, junk food....etc.-Find a sport you enjoy doing, so you look forward to doing it rather then wish it were over. It could even walking, roller-blading or biking.-For even just 5 minutes a day at the beginning, go on an elliptical or a treadmill.-Eats fruits and veggies. They are surprisingly delicious and are healthy for you.-If you really cannot resist to drink pop, drink it once a week. My pop day is Friday and i have only 1-3 glasses. Juices are okay, but water is the best.-This has nothing to do with weight loss, just has to do with hygiene about the physical exercises, shower daily. It makes you feel better plus also, you won t stink!-Don t go on a diet, you will end up hurting yourself, and don t be anorexic, there are better ways and healthier ways.-Determination; never give up. No matter how hard it is or how long it seems to take, keep it up. Don t stop. Set your heart to it and achieve what you want to achieve.You can, as long as...-You can if you have a strong will-You can if you don t give up-You can if you are determined over everything else.Good luck with everything! Hope I helped!

The best way is to learn to be disciplined about what you eat and maintain a regular diet with none of the known foods that create weight gain. If you can do that, for say, two weeks you are well on the way to creating a new discipline. Another useful discipline is to avoid restaurant foods as much as you can. If you do a web search - Harmful/fattening foods in restaurants? You will see there are many in almost every restaurant including so called health food ones. Too much sugar, sweeteners, salts, bad oils and bad fats. A vegetarian diet is very beneficial. A cause of human overweight and obesity can be traced to livestock - animals and birds - many are given a diet of anti-biotics and their feed has many undesirable additives, etc., to fatten them or make them more marketable. What they ingest we ingest.Also you can try to include a high percentage of non-fattening, preferably organic( ie not treated with pesticides) raw foods and avoid highly processed foods which can be fattening and harmful to health, particularly those with additives, and fattening sugars. It helps being a detective and doing online searches. Salads, fruits, nuts, grains, good natural oils, etc.should be part of your diet. Find physical activities, sports and games that you enjoy - it makes it easier to maintain on a regular basis. I only learned to swim in my twenties and found I really enjoyed it and that it was a really great workout for the entire body. I tried and became fond of calorie burning sports and grew to like long hikes. That makes them easy and enjoyable to pursue. One other great work out is simply brushing (preferably vigorously) your hair everyday even if for10 min The hair/scalp benefits and it keeps upper body trimmed. I lost a great deal of upper body weight simply by doing that.

With all of the extravagant claims for weight loss products and schemes - whether they have to do with tea or not - a good rule of thumb is buyer beware. With that in mind, however, there is evidence that indicates that tea might play a role in weight loss.When it comes to losing weight, one of the simplest ways tea can help is by acting as a substitute for high-calorie sweetened beverages. Freshly brewed tea without milk, sugar or other additives has no calories and even small amounts of these add-ins typically contribute only a modest amount. By comparison, a 16-ounce Starbucks Frappucino may contain as much as 470 calories, while eight ounces of Coca-Cola contains 97 calories.Studies also indicate that tea itself may play a role in weight loss. A 2005 study looked at 35 Japanese men over a period of three months. Some subjects were given bottled oolong tea with a green tea extract that contained 690 milligrams of catechins. Others were given oolong tea that contained 22 milligrams of catechins. Though their diets were similar, the former group lost an average of 5.3 pounds, as opposed to the latter s 2.9 pounds. The men given higher doses of catechins also saw a greater decrease in body mass index, waist size, total body fat and undesirable LDL cholesterol. More recently, research conducted at the University of Connecticut over a period of six week, saw both lean and obese mice fed a green tea extract (GTE), in varying amounts. As noted in these pages previously, the study found that the extract might help ward off fatty liver disease. There are also indications that GTE might aid in weight loss as well as lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Other research examining possible connections between tea and weight loss include this study from 1999, which investigated whether green tea extract could increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. Another study, whose results were also published in 1999, examined the alleged anti-obesity action of oolong tea. Yet another study, published in 2000, measured the effectiveness of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) derived from green tea leaves in reducing appetite and contributing to weight loss in rats.

EITHER EAT FRUITS AND VEGGATABLES AND DRINK WATER FOR A MONTH OR Well this seems easy but its hard for me. i dont knoe about you. each day wake up at 5am. and run for about 20minutes i gurantee it works im positive. Or walk for about in houre if you run for 30min. you burn 500 calories if you walk for 1 hr and 30min. its 500 calories. and if you do it each day you burn 1 pound a week which is 30pounds a month.. and because a pound is 3500 calories- choose as best answer please

run 30 minutes everyday but make sure you pace yourself. its better to run slower and longer than faster and shorter distance. hope i hlpd :]

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.comif you have time also read this aah...just forget about what all say...like go on diet.... eat less food bla bla bla!!! just try out the world s best solution that is Eat more,lose more!!!haha i am not joking..try this out!!9 WAYS TO REDUCE WEIGHT WITHOUT EATING LESS( ! ) Don t starve yourself.Lowering your calorie intake will make your body reduce the rate at which it changes calories into energy. In other words, reducing calorie intake slows down your metabolism and holds onto your fat. Starving yourself will actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Food is fuel or energy and when you skip meals, you are not working on energy hat can be burned off. As a defense mechanism, your body clings to calories and slows down your weight loss.(2) Get a breakfast boost.Connie Dickman, a registered dietician and nutritionist advises not to skip breakfast. According to her, breakfast gives you energy so that you are not starving as the day go on. When you skip breakfast, you become so hungry that you eat more than you should or eat the wrong foods.(3) Eat complex carbohydrates.Practice eating complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are found in food such as candy, cereal, softdrinks and ice cream. They are easily absorbed by the body and they stick to the ribs, according to weight loss specialist Dr. Daisy Merey. Simple carbohydrates have a tendency to make you store more fat.On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are found in pastas, potatoes, beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits contain good calories that are easily burned.. In switching from a meat-based diet to the one tat is starch-based, you get the same amount of food with only 25% of the calories, says John McDougall, M.D., Director of the McDougall Program at St. Helena Hospital.Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are high in complex carbohydrates. You will eat more, but you will lose more, because the feeling of fullness will hinder you from eating high-fat foods that make you gain weight.(4) Eat Fiber.Kristine Clark, the Director of Sports Nutrition at Penn State University says that eating high-fiber foods can help people keep their weight under control. Because foods hat are rich in fiber help people to slow down their eating and foods that are high in fiber contain less fat and sugar.According to Nutrition experts, one should eat 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber a day. There are two kinds of fiber in foods. The soluble and the insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve and thicken in water. Foods that contain soluble fibers include broccoli, zucchini, barley, oat bran, beans and citrus fruits.Insoluble fibers include skins of fruits and vegetables and the external coatings of wheat kernel.Fiber is an essential ingredient in one s diet because the insoluble form prevents constipation. Studies revealed that the soluble fibers play an important role in reducing cholesterol.(5) Drink water.Water helps the body break down fat and process waste according to Dr. Denise Bruner, a Virginia bariatrician, describing how water as part of her diet, helped her to shed 62 pounds. One should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day.(6) Exercise and be active in household work.T o exercise is one of the best ways to maintain your weight down. Exercise helps you to burn calories. According to Franca Alphin, Nutrition Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in North Carolina, You can lose weight without exercising, but you won t maintain the weight loss. Exercise may not be a major player in weight loss, but it is the number one player in preventing weight gain, says Jack H. Gilmore, Ph. D.Inactivity burns fewer calories each day, which are stored as fat. Daniel Kosich, Ph. D., the author of Get Real: A Personal Guide to Real-Life Weight Management and an advisor to Jane Fonda Workouts, says regular activity is a critical part of successful weight loss. It doesn t have to be a strenuous workout. You can burn calories just by doing ordinary chores such as gardening and housework. Pushing a mop or vacuum across the floor increases your heart rate and creates resistance , says Barbara Baldwin, Information Services Director for the American Running and Fitness Association in Maryland. Raking leaves, stroveling snow, sanding, painting and waxing the car are calorie burners. According to Laura Gladwin, California-based exercise physiologist, gardening is a great exercise because weeding, pruning and planting require bending and stretching. You will burn 1,000 calories by doing three-and-a-half hours of garden or yard work in a week, she says.Ellen F., a crafter in Coral Springs, Fl, found out that dieting wasn t enough to help her shed 20 pounds of excess weight.. She joined a low-impact aerobics class at her community center. By doing aerobics excercises for an hour, three times a week, she lost 20 pounds much quicker than simply dieting.Walking is one of the healthiest, easiest and cheapest form of exercise. Stroll briskly through a park or around your neighborhood. Walking will be more pleasurable if you do it with a friend..Suzanne Rossa, an exercise physiologist at Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center in West Palm Beach Florida says, Aerobics excercises improves your circulation , increases blood flow,allow you to have a better blood pressure and decreases the amount of fatty substances in your bloodstream. (7) Build muscle.Tufts University studies revealed that strength training - the kind that builds muscle will raise your metabolic rate, which enable you to burn calories. Strength training does not always follow that your muscles will grow bigger but they will certainly grow stronger.Daniel Kosich in his book, A Personal Guide to Real Life Weight Management says, when you make muscles stronger, they burn more calories. That means that for each pound of muscle you build with strength excercises, you burn 20 to 30 calories a day from your resting energy output or about 7,300 calories a year. You can strength train by using machines and free weights such as barbells.(8) Follow the Pyramid.The American Diatetic Association recommends a food guide pyramid that serves as a general list of healthful foods that must be eaten daily. The pyramid has four levels. The top of the pyramid is the smallest part , represents fats, oils and sweets. This group includes salad dressings, butter, ice cream, softdrinks, candies and desserts and foods that has very little nutritional value and can make your calories add up to.At level two of the pyramid are the milk, yogurt, cheese group, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. These foods provide you with protein, calcium, iron and zinc.. ADA recommends two to three servings daily of this group.The third level represents the vegetable and fruit groups, which are good sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. ADA recommends three to five servings daily of this group.At the base of the pyramid are the bread, cereal, rice and pasta. ADA recommends 6 to 11 servings of this group. These foods are source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals(9) Stop taking the following food.ALCOHOL : a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer contains 150 calories.
