How to lose weight and gain muscle fast? -

ok im 15 i weight 123lb-124lb i want to lose 5-10lbs and gain some muscle quick, no i dont mean in a day but like a mounth or two so any tips ?!please dont put go to the gym every day i dont have access to one near by !also please dont put crazy ideas like run 20 miles every day!

pushups, working out with weights help a lot...The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won t help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don t eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i m going pretty well if i don t say myself. 90 LBS isn t anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. Just please be patient for ppl seem to email me for advice on this, I will reply, don t worry! ~Adia

Losing weight and gaining muscle are two different things. I think you mean lose fat and gain muscle. The answer is resistance training. If you don t have access to a gym you will have to use your body weight as resistance. Some exercises are push ups, chin-ups and squats. Any physical work you can do will help. Things like stacking firewood and shoveling snow will build muscle. Running will burn fat but will not build much muscle.

How to lose weight in 45 days? -

I am 14 years old, approximately 5 1 in height and I weigh 140 pounds. I would like to lose 20 pounds in 45 days. Is this possible and if so how do I accomplish my goal?

Try the Baby Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

You could easily lose 10-15 by simply cutting out white sugar and white flour. If you want to lose 20, cut out all carbs for two weeks, then slowly add whole grains and wheat flour, as well as natural sugars (fruit) back into your diet. You ll be shocked with the results!

I think you can. You have to work out for like 45 minutes 6 days a week. Instead of 3 big meals Breakfast: CEREAL Lunch: SALAD DInner: BIGGER MEAL!!!! one free day a week and dont have a huge one just like popcorn and a lil candy

1-2 Pounds a week is healthy.Otherwise, It is just water-weight.45 days= about 6 weeksso between 6-12 pounds is what you would lose....healthily anyway

Here a great article on losing weight without dieting:http://www.ehow.com/how_4683899_lose-wei��

just eat healthy foods and excersise more

How to lose weight and not get saggy boobs?? -

Im 5 7 i weigh 155lbs, and i have D sized boobs, i think i should lose weight, because well obviously im not skinnyIm scared if i lose weight though, my boobs will shink and sag, and i ll be skinny but have saggy rasin boobsshould i still try to lose weight? or is it better to be bigger with normal boobs?

ummmm first of all if you lose weight, the goal is more to be healthy than attractive............skinny people can sometimes have high percentages of fat in their body which is still really unhealthyso if you want to loose weight, you should exercise and eat healthyas long as you don t go anorexic or on an extreme diet, i dont think you boobs will sag...? haha thats the funniest concern i ve heard about dieting tho....

Thats a stupid answer. Its not a stupid concern either because Im concerned about it too! Report Abuse

Change your lifestyle and do this forever. Drink lots of water, walk, run, or swim an hour every day except 1 then do stretching and upper body toning. Eat fruits vegetables.No alcoholno breadno burgersNo candyNo chipsno cornno fried foodsNo pastaNo pizzaNo potatoesNo sodasNo energy drinksNo sugarYou will want to add additional upper body exercises especially the pectoral muscle exercises. The pectoral muscles are the ones that lie just beneath the breasts and provide muscular support to them.Good Luck

Try fitness training you can build muscle and lose weight. It worked for me and some of my friends.

How to lose weight? -

My fiance and I need to lose weight and get in shape (I need to lose 30 pounds and she needs to lose about 70 pounds). However, we want to do this together and we both work full time and go to school full time and are on a very tight budget. How can we do this together so we can support each other? Also, should we take weight loss pills (I heard they were bad for you)? We were thinking to walk/run everyday, don t drink sodas anymore and watch what we eat more closely. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!

Some really easy suggestions are stay away from sodas. Water is awesome. If you were to stop drinking everything else and just drink water for the next two weeks you would lose 5-10 lbs. right there, seriously. While fruit juice is good for your body, it has a high calorie content. I knew a buddy who decided to stop drinking diet soda and go to OJ for his diet and he ended up drinking almost a carton of OJ a day, which is like 1500 calories just in liquids. STAY AWAY FROM SODA, it is bad. Also, gatorade has a very high calorie count as well and isn t meant really meant for you unless you just got done with an extreme workout and need to replenish your body with nutrients. STEP 1-- WATER, WATER, WATER.STEP 2, stop eating late at night. This one is horrible for me since I don t wake up until noon. The cutoff is supposedly 7pm but you can stretch it to 8 pm. This one is huge. As you start to relax later in the day so does your metabolism and you don t work off that food as easily.STEP 3, eat breakfast and regular meals or snacks. Eating in the morning gets your bodies biological system up and running. Small meals and snacks throughout the day keep it going. They say 5-6 small meals and snacks is the target, but once again, unreasonable. If you can get yourself Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, eat and apple or a banana or something in between breakfast and lunch and then again between lunch and dinner that s not that hard.Eating right is hard and expensive but if you fall off the train just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back on. If you fall off for a couple of days, don t let it go and don t beat yourself up about, just pick up were you left off and don t look at it as starting over again. As for the expensive part, you can get around that, a bag of apples are only a couple of bucks and can last a week for snacks. It may get old eating apples, so get yourself a bag of oranges, some bananas, some grapes, hell, mix em all together and have a small fruit bowl. Also, don t be afraid to cheat. It will be soooooo hard if you try to quit junk food cold turkey. If you cheat, be reasonable and be satisfied until the next time you can cheat.STEP 4 - SET GOALS. Achieving a goals is an awesome feeling. In business they use the acronym SMART -Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time bound. Set yourself daily, weekly, and monthly goals and strive to achieve them. STEP 5 - Any exercise is better than no exercise at all. Start off walking. When it gets easy go further or faster. The key is heartrate. If you tip-toe around the city, that s not doing much for you but if you power walk up the block then you are doing something. Also, if you have a YMCA around they give membership scholarships for six month periods. I don t know what you re finances are like but they require your previous year s taxes, two recent paycheck stubs, and that you have a checking account. They provide full and half-off scholarships and they provide so many other services that you could benefit from it s not even funny. I am currently on the free scholarship and I get a call once a month just like any other memebr to make sure I am happy with the Y. Also, if you go to google and search for diet tips and workout tips and recipes there is so much free information out there you don t even need a Yahoo Answers or YMCA. Sorry to end this on what may seem like an advertisement but I really do wish you both the best of luck.

Number 1: Do not do any crash dieting. They don t wont and you ll be fatter afterwards.Number 2: Cut as much sugar from your diet as possible, soda, candy, chocolates, and processed carbs like bread, donuts, and fries all contain high percentages of sugar.Number 3: Eat 5-7 small meals a day rather than 2-3 large meals. This will keep you gluclose levels constant and will keep your body constantly supplied with energy. Never eat until you feel full. Eat only until you are not hungry. Number 4: Burn 200-300 calories a day. It is easy as walking uphill on a treadmill for 45 minutes. You can do that watching TV.In fact slow steady exercise burns more fat than short heart pounding cardio exercise (why do you think marathon runners are crack skinny?). If you want to burn fat at the maximum rate, never exceed 50% of your max heart rate, otherwise you ll be burning muscle and fat. You want to maintain muscle because it helps burn fat while you are stationary. Number 5: Have your workout partner dump a huge guilt trip on you whenever you don t show up to work out. Nothing motivates like peer pressure.Good luckand remember, we are the first generation of americans who will NOT outlive our parents because we are so fat.

I have had great results with an all natural product called Isagenix. This product is only available by distributor.I can help you get the products for little to no cost if you are interested.If you would like more information please email me at bignlild@msn.com

How far are you from work/school? If possible, try walking when the weather is nice. Not drinking sodas is also an excellent idea. Keeping a food journal (where you right down everything you eat) is also helpful for some people. It might also help to break the big goal down into smaller mini goals so that it doesn t seem overwhelming.Most importantly, DON T GIVE UP!!

In 2004 I got very sick and could not eat very much. I lost 65 lbs in 4 months. I could only eat a half a cereal bowl of vegetables or rice and half a pear. I did this 4 to five times a day and drank water. If you eat like this, weight will just drop off. Sounds strange, but it worked for me. It s a discipline and all about determination.

Ok u have told that u are very tight with money. So as the first step u stop eating more fatty and oily foods. Then in mornings u go for a big walk. Also if you have time u go to a walk in the evenings too.

use weight watchersit works greatno extra excersise needed- but it helpsit really does do the trickto save money- only one of you joins and the other one just uses it as a guide you can count up your points on paper.I am dead serious it works so well

Many people ask me how they can slim down. I recommend that people eat right and exercise. However, if they would like a little help , I suggest using natural Hoodia (it s important to note that not all Hoodia works well, even if the bottle says pure or standard ).The Hoodia sold at http://301url.com/free-diet-pills is in my opinion the best Hoodia on the market. It s pure, has no side effects, and they give you a free 15 day sample (there is a $7.99 shipping and handling charge, but they also give you free recipe and diet guides). Fantastic results have been seen with this particular Hoodia.

every morning, go for a jog, after every two days, increase your speed and / or distanceget rid of all the junk food in your house so your not tempted to eat it.DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF, if you do, at the end of the day, you will be VERY hungry and your body will crave for sugar and you will only get bigger.Stick to salads and waterTo not only have salads, get creative, go to the gorcery store and pick out fruits,vegetables, anything healthy, and create your own healthy recipe.When you watch TV with your family, try to lift weights or get a tred mil (sp?) while watching TVMake sure to wash your face often and mantain good hygiene to prevent pimples.Instead of driving everywhere, think about walking... you re also saving tthe environment.Good Luck!

This sounds wonderful. You already have one key ingredient to becoming successful with your weight loss. That s, each other.Support one another, keep food diaries to keep tabs on what you re eating. Enjoy long walks on the beach or around the block and talk about how was school and work. But with your busy schedule, make sure that you at least set 20 min a day to workout. With only 20 minutes the best way to make the most of your time is to combine weight training with cardio. Here s a quick sample workout:Jog in place for 2 min...Squats for 1 minPushups for 1 min1 min of crunches1 min of jumping jacksRest for 1 minute.Repeat 3-4 times.It s really that simple. Don t forget to stretch after your workout.Enjoy one another and make this journey to losing weight fun.http://www.4evertoned.com

How to lose weight without dieting? -

Okay so I would like to lose around 15 to 20 pds by summer..but we all know diets DO NOT work. So am looking for some tips/habits to change up to lose weight and keep it off? I don t care if I don t lose that much and I lose it veryyyyy slowly..even 3 pds a month would be fine..any tips? THanks :)

I know you don t want to hear it, but eat healthy! Fruits veggies, whole grains, lean meats! Then, hit the gym at least an hour a day. (By the way, the scale may tell you a heavier weight but muscle weighs more than fat, is healthier, and also helps burn more energy compared to fat) Weight is just a number. If you feel good about you, don t change it!

here s a food plan that has worked really well for me, i ve lost about 15 pounds in 6 months. go to kaysheppard.com and click on FOOD PLAN. it s really for food addicts but can work with any person. you don t have to weigh and measure your food, just use the food list as a guide. good luck!

The key for losing weight is not difficult - eat less food and move more often - the issues arise when we in reality try to put that into practice! There are a lot of temptations in the big wide world aren t there?! I learned some splendid information by visiting the website in the box below, they have a lot of tips and tricks, I melted away 6 pounds by following their tips.

Hi, and a Merry Christmas to you.I agree with the other posters here that you do have to eat more healthily these days. Were told that to much of this and that is bad for you, this bread and that bread is bad for you, do this, do that blah blah blah.Well, I have been on this diet now for two months on and off, and it really has worked well for me. I have lost a total of 63lbs during that time. I have exercised, although not to much, and I have managed to keep the weight down. And I am allowed a glass of wine with my evening meal. And the other great thing about the diet is this, you are allowed 3 cheat days every 11 days, where you can gorge whatever you want.I have included the link for you should you wish to look further into the diet I am using. Best of luck and Merry Christmas

How to lose weight for upcoming trip June 1? -

I am a girl. I weight 205. I just started going to the gym last week.not major weight up to 10 poundsThanks

1. Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.2. Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water. It��s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you.3. Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.4. Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster. SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water�� It��s amazing! Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so much space to it, above.5. Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.6. Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.7. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excellent source of vitamins.8. If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many calories.9. Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are nearly always sweetened.10. Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.11. Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always.

I lost 10 pounds in a couple of weeks by taking herbalife products. I was never hungry. I had a lot of energy. The shakes were great. The package I had came with vitamins to help give me vitamins and minerals I need. Once you lose the weight you can use those same products to maintain your weight. I liked them so much I became a consultant. If you want get more info you can contact me at weilo3@hotmail.com

There are a lot who are in despair about losing weight. Low calorie diets do not work! Low fat diets do not work! Low carb diets make you miserable! Then how can we do to look thinner? This article will tell u how you ll be eating MORE than 3 meals per day during the next 11 Days.......and after 11 days have passed you ll be much slimmer and lighter on the scale. More info: http://ur.lc/4pq

wow everyone seems to be pushing a product. very simple eat healthy lots of fruits/salads drink lots of water LOTS!!! decrease calorie intake and excerise!! good luck!

It will also help to plan a big reward for when you have achieved your longer term weight goal. You will definitely deserve it.

Keep food out of sightFood is everywhere �C on TV, magazines, shops, petrol stations - and can trigger cravings. At home, keep weakness foods out of sight, or out of the house! Serve meals onto plates rather than from dishes on the table. And steer clear of buffet meals �C studies show they encourage us to eat more.

Keep a food diaryWriting down what you eat and drink and any thoughts linked to that eating helps you become more aware of your eating habits and problem areas. Recognising what is going on and understanding more about yourself is a powerful way to start planning changes to your diet and puts you in control.

Food FactorsWhen it comes to finding quick weight loss diet tips that work, selecting your foods for your diet can be a real balancing act.
