How to lose weight in the areas I want to? -

Im overweight and I carry most of my excess fat in my stumach area.I am also looking to tone my upper arms and thighs.What kind of food/drinks/exercises would you recommend?

Hi,I suggest that you have a Heavy breakfast with Brown bread, Cereals, Oats, Skimmed Milk and 100% fruit and vegetable juicesHave a moderate Lunch - Fish, lean meat, Bread and vegetable salads.Very light dinner with just salads and fruitsWell exercising is as important as eating right. you start your day with a strenuous exercise like jogging/kick boxing/ brisk walking/swimming etc. Do sit ups, lunges, squatting and yoga for spot reduction. may be in the night after dinner take a stroll and make sure you have a gap of 2 hrs between your dinner and bed time.I found an interesting website, which helps you plan and track your diet and activity. http://www.lifemojo.com/

you should eat at least 4-5 meals a day.drink lots of water, and eat regularly. don t starve yourself, because once you start eating again, you ll gain everything back, trust me.eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it s whole grain. white bread is pretty fattening. you can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast. eggs also help when trying to lose weight.skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.if you feel hungry, but don t want to over eat, chew gum. it ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.cut out ALL soda! if you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!and don t forget to exercise!try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, crunches, bike riding and swimming. try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.good luck!
