Weight loss tips? -

Does anyone have anything that helped them lose weight? Please dont be rude

EXCERISE. THINK B4 YOU EAT. CHECK OUT HOW MANY CALORIES THE FOOD YOU EAT HAVE.

eat small meals through out the day exercise and it is said green tea helps to boost the metabolism

this article will show you yr weight mass index so you know around the weight you should be and some weight loss programs too

The best way to lose the weight is by eating six small meals a day. Watch what you eat and how much. Good snacks are rice cakes, cooked rice with a bit of cinnamon, or just plain cereal( not sugar coated). Eat small portions. Stay away from pill, liquids and other quick weight loss schemes. In the last two years Ive lost 53 lbs. eating right. Oh yeah, make sure you exercise at least 3 times a week. Nothing strenuous but at least get moving

Eat healthy vegitables salads drink lots of cold water your body burns calories warming the water before it can break it down. Do an hour of cardiovascular excercise not including everyday walking. Don t stop eating but limit urself espeacily the sugars starches and ftaing foods. Natural sugar is o.k found in your fruits and such. There are drugs to raise your metabolism but remember you have to stop taking the drugs eventualy and your metabolism will slow back down. Loosing weight has to be a life change.

dont drink soda if you need the caffeine atleast switch to diet same taste 0 calories and try and avoid juices high in calories. drink plenty of water nt only is it calorie free i is pretty rereshing

Hi, I ve been helping people stay healthy for a bit more than two decades (20 years) and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they ve stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Also remember that you may need supplements to help things along.3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be thirsty (overtly) during this time of exercise.4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you ve stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).5) Remember that you ll probably hit plateaus (times when you ll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn t showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is reducing all over -- not just in one particular area. If you re weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don t worry -- if you re a woman you won t start looking like a bodybuilder).7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you ll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it s an average, it s okay.8) Lastly, remember that you re doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.Keep up the good work. I ve worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they ve kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.As for what to take, that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that works for everyone is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take you can visit my site (below).Any questions, don t hesitate to write and ask.Lonnie Honeycutt, C.N.C.Your Health Is My Concernhttp://www.betterlifetoday.com

eat lessdo exercisesdrink lots of watermake routine walk except from exercisestry to stop drinking a lotand also don t drink too much coffeewish you good luck

Weight watchers all the way!!! Thats how I lost weight after I quit smoking

Cut out carbs and sugars!!! If you do this, and exercise, I guarantee it will work!!! I have already lost over 30 pounds

HEREs what helps me. CUT back on the following. FATS-SUGARS-CARBS- WHITE FLOUR-salt-BIG MAC+frys and donuts. FRIED chicken,chicken nuggets, Oscar Meyer LUNCH ables 4 kids.SUGARY cereals. PROCESSED meats.Canned soups.--------------------- do eat fresh fruits + veggies. LEAN meats. WHOLE wheat breads. I cut out candy--chips--snack foods.i went on a 1800 to 2000 cal diet. check with your DR ok before starting any diet. BUT MINE put me on the 2000 calorie first then i went down to the 1800 calorie till i reached my goal. DRINK 8 glasses of water a day too. BTW i lost 100 pounds and exercised some .

eat less calories, burn more calories - it s that simple. eat healthier foods - if you can t then eat 1/2 of what you usually eat. burn more calories by taking stairs instead of elevator, park far away, go to the gym, swim, etc

Drink a pint of water before you eat - it will fill you up and make you eat less.Eat slowly - it takes your stomach 20minutes to realize it is full.Exercise more in the morning - it kick starts your metabolism.Get atleast an hours exercise every day.Do aerobic exercise as well as any other type - it helps to tone you more.15 minutes of skipping with a jump rope is the equivilant to 30 minutes of jogging.Make an exercise plan and slowly increase the work load.Choose something you enjoy or do a viriaty of different exercises - if you get bored, you re more likely to give up.Make a diet plan. Plan what you are going to eat for the week so you can keep it ballanced and also keep track on what you re eating.Thinspiration - stick a picture of your idol on the fridge, so that everytime you go to grab a snack you ll see the photo and it ll make you think before you act.Good luck!

dont eat late at night.. especially after 9and make your portions smaller.. and eat small meals periodically during the day . dont eat three large meals, because when you eat periodically, your metabloism is working and going faster to burn the calories. finally, dont just eat when your bored, eat when your actaully hungry!!

STOP EATING YOU PIG

You need a good combination of aerobic activity and resistance training combined with a healthy diet.It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term you need a good exercise and nutrition plan.A good program looks like this:Always warm up and cool downMuscular strength endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups(hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don t exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.If you do not have money for a gym membership or do not have acess to one here is a great website to create a work out plan only using your body weight.http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise��You can also search for all kinds of exercises that use weight.Cardiovascular Endurance-this is where you can burn fat the most and that leads to enhancing your muscles such as the abs. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. I have an extensive answer on this section if you would like to read ithttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;��Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. I have another answer that discusses thishttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;��
