How to lose weight the best way? -

I am a size 7 in jeans right now and I would like to be a size 0. My older stepsister is always getting compliments about how skinny she looks, and yes she s a size 1. I m like the fattest girl in my grade and it s horrible knowing that. When everyone is like smaller than you it s like you want to starve yourself.

When it comes to losing weight , the key word is calories Calories are the body s form of fuel. If your overweight you may be consuming more calories than your expending. So to lose more weight you have to burn more calories than you consume.Every body is different. We all have different caloric needs based on our genetic make-up, activity level , height , weight, and sex. Ask yourself a question ! What is the healthiest weight for you ? One way to determine a healthy weight is to use a body mass Index(BMI) BMI is an expression of weight for height, If your are otherwise healthy and have a BMI of 25 to 29 , preventing further weight gain should be your goal. Individuals with a BMI of 30 or more should talk with their doctor and dietitian about a weight loss program that is best for them .By reducing your caloric intake by 500 to 1,000 calories a day. you can expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week. This rate is healthy, People who try to lose more almost always regain the weight rapidly . They also risk health problems such as gallstones and chemical imbalances.Calorie content of your food is very important for weight loss efforts, but all the food groups offer different vitamins and minerals, therefore, to be healthy during your weight loss efforts you should eat a wide variety of foods.Expending calories is just as important as consuming them, Besides just burning calories, exercise helps decrease stress, helps regulate sleeping patterns,decreases risk of heart disease, and increases your metabolism. To lose weight , it is recommended that you exercise between 4 and 6 days a week for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Size 0 is sooooo gross. No offense. Size 6 is the ideal size people want! No one wants to look at someone with absolutely no curves. I don t think a size 7 is fat at all. That s ridiculous. People are probably jealous of you! But if want to drop down 1 size no more then just eat healthy and exercise daily!For more health suggestions check out http://i-dietandfitness.com
