How To Lose weight in 4 months? -

Hey, I am a 18 year old male and i am a senior in high school. I currently weigh around 230lbs. I would like to go on a diet and weight train in order to be in shape for prom in 4 months. I played football so i am still in shape from the post season, so i need to go on a diet and what i would like to know is if i go on a rigorous diet and work out routine how much weight can i lagitimatel expect to lose in 4 months?

#1: Build Muscle. The absolute number 1 way to increase metabolism naturally is to increase lean body mass which means to build muscle. Muscle tissue is metabolically active which is to say that it requires energy to be sustained. A pound of muscle burns about 45 calories of energy per day. This means that adding 10 pounds of muscle will boost metabolism by 450 calories per day. The best way to build muscle is to begin a strength conditioning program. In the Magnetic Diet http://www.magnetic-diet.com/ a method of strength conditioning (Energization Exercises) is described which does not require a gym membership or any special equipment. #2: Aerobic Exercise. Cardio is another great way to speed up metabolism naturally. Whether it is walking, running, a cardio class at the gym, or playing with your family getting your heart rate up will burn calories and increase metabolism by virtue of what has become known as the after burn effect. To calculate how many calories you can increase metabolism by for over 72 different activities use this exercise calorie calculator http://www.magnetic-diet.com/calc/exerci�� It will calculate how much you can speed up metabolism by based on weight and duration of the activity. #3: Drink lots of water each day. Eight to 10 glasses per day. Sipping lots of water will insure that our body is able to detoxify itself, remain properly hydrated and keep our liver functioning properly which is the key to the body s ability to metabolize fat. In addition to its ability to speed up metabolism this practice also helps to control food cravings and act as an appetite suppressant. To learn the most powerful method on the planet to control food cravings naturally get the magnetic diet weight loss program. #4: Meditate. Can sitting absolutely still for 15 minutes be just as effective to boost metabolism as 15 minutes of cardio? How can meditation speed up metabolism? Physical and emotional stress can activate the release of cortisol, a steroid that can slow down your metabolism. Meditation is one of the most effective methods of relieving stress naturally. By developing a regular practice of meditation as is taught in the Magnetic Diet you will calm the mind and the entire physical system. This will help to boost metabolism by virtue of a decrease in the release of the steroid cortisol which not only slows metabolism but is also responsible for an increase in belly fat. #5: Food Magnetism. All foods have one of two types of magnetism. Learn about invigorating magnetism and contaminating magnetism and learn to leverage the field of food magnetism by putting the principles and concepts of the magnetic diet in your own life. The Magnetic Diet is the most comprehensive weight loss success manual ever written. How does food magnetism increase metabolism? Foods with invigorating magnetism speed up metabolism naturally by virtue of the nutritional compounds, components, and phytochemicals. Eat the foods on the magnetic diet shopping list and the seven day success plan to boost metabolism naturally. #6: Be Smart Taking diet pills every day while you eat the same old garbage has never worked to speed up metabolism for anybody and it isn t going to work for you. As it turns out, in 2007 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recovered $25 million to settle allegations of deceptive marketing for Xenadrine EFX, CortiSlim, TrimSpa, and One-A-Day WeightSmart diet pills. Don t fall victim to the deceptive marketing and false advertising claims of these and other bogus weight loss programs and products. So instead of wishful thinking, learn exactly what steps to take so that you can increase metabolism and make continual weight loss progress every single day. #7: Keep a Journal People are always surprised when I tell them that keeping a journal can be a boost to their metabolism. How so? Keeping a journal is one of the most important secrets to success in the effort to lose weight. I always counsel my weight loss students to write down everything. Everything that they eat, everything that they feel, and everything that they do. Keep track of all of it. Writing down everything that you eat brings awareness to what you are putting in your mouth and helps you to stay honest. When you get into the habit of writing down everything that you eat and the number of calories you can see and understand if you are going to lose weight or gain weight as a result of the mathematics of weight loss. By having a record of what you have eaten you ll know whether or not you are on track and what you need to do to compensate by adding more activity if you have been overeating. In addition to writing down everything that you eat you should also be sure to write down all of your exercise activity keeping a record of all of your workouts. For cardio write down what you are doing how long you are doing it for and how fast you are doing it. If you are weight training write down every set that you do of each exercise and how many reps you have done. Be sure to write down the number of calories burned for each workout. You can estimate the number of calories using this exercise calorie calculator. #8: Get Educated It s unfortunate but also true that we are constantly bombarded and overloaded with misinformation when it comes to health and nutrition. If you want your metabolism to work at it s best it is absolutely important that you become knowledgeable about what truly works to boost metabolism, lose weight, and burn fat fast. I ve written what I believe to be the best diet success manual on the planet (The Magnetic Diet) but I ve also read just about every other book out there on diet and nutrition and the two absolute best that I have found (other than my own of course) are Mike Geary s Truth About Abs and Tom Venuto s Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle. Both Mike and Tom are experts at what really works get your metabolism revved up into high gear so that your body becomes a fat burning furnace. I ve written detailed reviews of both these great books which you can access using these links:Truth About Abs Book Review http://www.magnetic-diet.com/six-pack-ab��Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle Book Review http://www.magnetic-diet.com/six-pack-ab��

Increase protein intake and eliminate empty carb intake ( white rice, white bread, white sugar) eat brown rice, brown sugar, wheat bread. Workout 4 times a week for 45 minutes a day.30 minutes doing cardio15 minutes doing muscular sculpting ( use light weights 10-15 pounds doing high repetitions) lost pounds 30-35

A reasonable diet means not losing more than about 2 pounds a week.I ve lost 117 pounds with Weight Watchers in the last 14 months. I exercise 3-4 times a week and make sure it includes cardio and weights. It is NOT healthy for you to try to lose more quickly than this. You are much more likely to gain it right back if you do.The only way to lose weight is to take in less calories than your body consumes each day. This will be based upon your age, weight and acitivity level. There are several sites online that can help you figure this out. (I ve included a few links for you)Increase your fiber, Boost your lean protien intake, lots of fruit and veggies. Make sure you are getting calcium! When you eat carbs, make them complex carbs and whole grains.

quite a bit, i used to weigh around 180lbs now i weigh 120lbsi did this in 4-6 months all by, ALOT OF CARDIO! and about an hour or 2 of wiehgtlifting per day, train the different sections per day too so one day upper body one day legs etc etc and limit your eating habits to things like salads,healthy food no soft drinks,no fast food they are the killers just keep hydrated and stick with your salads n greens and find a good source of protein with low fat. so my guess is with a good routine and proper diet you could expect to lose 50lbs? but dont take my word for it i am no expert im merely using my own personal experience for this. :Dhope this helps a bit

Fewer carbs. More veggies, fruit and some protein every day.LOTS of water!!! and 1/2 hour exercise...four months = 30 pounds.
