I need some tip on how to lose weight in a healthy way, any tips? -

I work at Mcdonalds, and the only thing I eat there anymore is salads, but, I still am at an unhealthy weight. any ideas to lose weight, without supplements? I also try to run at lweast four times a week, and walk around five miles a day, and my body-fat is still high.

First, whatever you do, try not to touch McDonald s Foods. Try eating somewhere else. If you do want to go for their salad, then skip the dressing. As for the cardio, continue running and walking, the more the better. Staying active is the way to go. Get involved with resistance exercise and calisthenics. These will help raise your metabolism more than cardio alone which will help you burn more calories. Cardio is great but combining diet, and the strength exercises can get to your goal much more quicker and more efficiently. I dont know how you eat, but try to spread out your meals throughout the day like 4-8 times every 1.5-3 hours. Portion size control is important! Careful of eating too much in one sitting. But if are interested in starting the strength exercises, my recommendation is to start off with an introduction program with a trainer to learn the basics and proper technique for safety OR find a friend who knows what he or she is doing to teach you. Be careful though, once you start these exercises, chances are that you will get more hungry, so try not to skip meals!! Good luck.

talk to a curves representative near you . curves is working for me

running probably wont help because that is not in the fat burning stage, thats considered aerobic exercise, so you are only training your heart.as for healthy weight loss, you should be only loosing one or two pounds a week...to calculate how many calories exactly, check out http://www.hpathy.com/healthtools/calori�� it is a really good site to calculating how many calories you should be intaking.

She s wrong. Running is cardio, that works your heart, and BURNS THE FAT ! I have no idea where she got that from !drink more water.Make sure you re not eating a FRIED chicken salads, those are bad for you (even if they are salads). Go for the grilled chicken salads. And your exercise seems to be well, just keep up with it. When you eat foods, look for foods high in dietary fiber and try to keep an estimate count of how many calories you eat. Don t go over about 2500 a day. Hope this helps :) Feel free to hit me up with any more questions.
