How to lose weight? -

I have been trying for about a year to get a flat stomach and firm thighs and arms. I walk constantly, at least 2 miles a day and have been for year.because People say walking will help me loose weight, how come it doesnt work for me? I think it might be becuase of the way i eat, I usually eat two or three meals a day. But i can t help form eating snacks. And whenever i do eat i jsut workout more. Does the special k diet really work, and if it does it only works the stomach doesnt it? What are some things i can eat to help me loose weight?

I was in the same boat and if you follow a steady workout routine and diet it will help. This is what I do: First you need to cleanse your system about 3-5 times a month. The average adult carries between 7-45 pounds of waste in their intestines. This is where you will have trouble with the poochy stomach. Go to www.juicing.com and read about cleansing and colonics. It will shock you.2ND keep a steady diet. Eating 3 meals a day with snacks in between is what you are supposed to do. But it does matter what you eat. You can t eat fast food or 2000 calorie meals and expect to loose weight even if you work out. Read all labels and count your calories. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. It also depends on your current weight and height. For example I am 5 2 and I was at 168. I am now at 150 and my calorie intake is no more than 1200 a day. I went from a size 12 to a 7 in 3 months. And don t always weigh yourself because while you are working out you also gain muscle which is heavier than fat. If you don t want to join a gym, there are so many things you can do at home. Swimming is the best workout for your entire body. I mean swim, not just splashing around. For the arms try to do as many push-ups you can when you wake up and before you go to bed. I have struggled with my weight for years and have been on every stupid diet there is. But the only thing that is working is eating right and constant exercise. Good luck to you, I hope this helps. Also go to ediets.com they have great tips. PS. The special K diet is a crock. You can eat any cereal for 2 meals and lose weight.

Have you ever heard of Herbalife. It s a meal replacement plan. You drink two protein (delicious) shakes a day, they give you lots of good quality protein, vitamins, minerals...so you don t have the munchies in between meals. Once a day you eat a healthy meal. You also take supplements that help boost your energy, burn fat and keep you satisfied on the diet. It s great. I ve used it and now continue to drink one shake a day to maintain my healthy weight. And the best thing is, I didn t have to exercise to loose the weight. Now I do, because it s more fun when your in great shape.

Losing weight means you need to burn more calories than you take in. Walking two miles may not burn off enough calories because you may eat more than what it burns off. If you eat about 1600 calories a day, and exercise about half an hour a day, you will see good weight loss.. that means about 400 calories a meal with two 200 calorie snacks.. its ok to eat throughout the day because it stablilizes your blood sugar, just make sure your overall intake of caloreis isn t too high. eat alot of fruit and veggies because they fill you up with very few calories.. make them a part of every meal

eat several small meals a day. drink a lot of water. do cardio exercises. try walking with 5lb weights, and maybe going up and down the stairs with them.

Ok. This is what you want to do. Keep exercising. Cardio should be your new best friend. Next, 2 meals a day isn t going to cut it. Snacks are great, lea4rn how to use them. Eat six small meals a day. Try and drink a gallon of water a day. Special K works because you are adding small meals to your diet. Nothing in the world (i dont care what they say) can burn fat in a specific area of your body. You need to shrink the fat cells in your body and that is how you look smaller. Lots of cardio, lots of water, lots of small meals. Do some crunches and you will do great!

exercise, throw all of your junk food away and buy health food...you know, the whole wheat crap and the tofu. Go to a vegan store, they usually have some good healthy crap. There s always lipo?

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consumeYou need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercisingIf you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume caloriesBut you should always eatIf you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too muchRemember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ballSo you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fitsAlso, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are fullso eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymoreALSO....i found this artical called 50 Habits of Naturally Thin PeopleHow to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year s end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.* I m only going to give you the ones that are most helpful and burn calories.

I would try the spacial k diet. As far as snacks go, try to eat something more healthy, and stay away from eating too many chips, cookies and candy bars. Try eating fruit or yogurt. Make sure you continue to exercise and walk, maybe join a gym or going swimming.

Sometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don t remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit. If snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don t drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two healthy meals a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried. Also, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. and wed. and aerobics or Tues. and Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!I hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

run around ure house and do pilates or goo to the gym...try not to eat junk food like macdonalds tacobell and things like that...coke and beer gives belly so try not to drink coke,sprite,beer...also drink lotsss of water and when u get bored and have nothing to do just take a nap...i dont know about u but whenever i get bored or mad..i always eat stuff to make me feel better =X....good luck?

Count calories. The only way to burn fat is for your body to burn more calories than you take in.Build muscle, muscle burns calories and fat, so the more muscle you have the more fat you can burn. It doesn t have to be bulky-body-builder muscle. Lean muscle burns fat also. . . you just have to work your muscles, especially in the areas that you want to tone up. . .You should aim for six smaller meals a day, this can include snacks. This will also help to keep your metabolism going throughout the day. As far as the snacks are concerned. . . snacks are okay, you just have to choose them more wisely, avoid sweets and chips. . . and stuff like that try carrot sticks and celery.

Real Hoodia will do wonders to suppress your appetite. Unfortunately, most of the hoodia on the market is fake.

which one is better for weight loss? Weight Loss-30 or Quick Slim, or others? I tried Weight Loss-30 which is certified by FDA approval(Food Drug Administration of US), it is very effective, within one month, i lost 28 pounds. I recommend all interested go to visit: www.goquickslim.com. Keep Slim, Keep Healthy.

Walking will help you lose wieght in the same way a single bullet pistol will help you win a war.There are no miracle foods for losing weight. The main trick is to speed up your metabolism, thats the rate at which your body burns its fat into energy. Wear yourself out as much as you can, any way you want, and I promise you will lose weight. Swimming, JOGGING, sex, anything that will make you very tired. And do a lot of it. The more the better.

Sounds like you need to do toning work. some light weight training, crunches, squats etc. Firm, flat sound like toning issues. Tammy lee Webb has a tape that does arms, abs, and legs at two different levels (beginner advanced) and they are about 15 minutes a piece you can do one or all three. I believe it s called I want that body I ve been told (after two kids) South beach Diet will help with the belly fat. Cut back on the pastas, potatoes, etc..

u have to do more than walking. try some sit ups every morning. also do not eat till ur belly is ful; eat till you are satisfied. set the time of the day u should eat (morning--the most important time, mid-day and afternoon before 8pm). do not eat right before going to bed. allow enough time for digestion prior to bed. avoid certain food, like cakes, pizza, and fast-food. Drink lots of water instead of juices. Eat fruits instead of juices. Good luck!

try eating four to five small meals a day. this is supposed to keep your metabolism burning to help lose weight. also try doing a little higher level of cardiovascular excercise such as a eliptical trainer, or tread climber, which will burn more calories then walking. the last thing would be to substitute fruit or 98% fat free popcorn for all the snacks with a lot of sugar, and dont forget to drink your six to eight glasses of water every day. good luck.

stoping eating snacks and go see a doctor because you priobliy have an inbalnce in your metobolisism and you need meds

How to lose weight around the waist and stomach? -

I am in my 40 s, I am petite, and I have a stomach, that I do not like, it seems that anything I eat goes right to might stomach, I can feel it started to get swollen when I drink or eat anything. Wondering if it has to do with age or is it medical condition. Any advice on losing the stomach besides situps.

Honestly, even though you may not want to hear this, sit ups are really the best things to tone your stomach. They get easier as you build more muscle, so start slow and work your way up. Also, the more muscle you have around your stomach, the more fat you ll burn by just sitting down. So just do sit ups regularly, and your body will help you out a little.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there s also the Jojo-effect.The best thing to loose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?More infomation the link: --http://www.loseweighthappy.infoKeep on doing your thing.Take care,:-)

I have had this same problem in the past and the thing that worked the best for me after talking to my athletic trainer was that to lose the extra belly bulge you must cut out soda, and as for sit ups, they tone and build muscle in your belly, which does help to tone and burn more calories, but it does not take away the fat= this means you must do it!! The answer ...cardio, run walk 20 min for 6 times a week...this will help to burn the fat so that you can see those wonderful musclular abs underneath the buldge!!! Hope this helps!!

Weight Loss Tips? -

Kay, I know how to lose weight, diet and keeping active, but can someone gives me some good tips on how to keep motivated and stuff?AND I have been cutting my caloires and everything but I keep losing weight in my breasts, NOT in my thighs,Butt or Legs! Also, how do I make my waist and hips smaller??Help me please!

Hi,I lost 5kg in 2 weeks. For the last 5 years I have had fantastic results with Xenical for weight loss. And the best part is that I never had to suffer from hunger pangs or deprive myself of all the wonderful food I enjoyed. After about 3 weeks I was able to happily choose if I wanted to eat those fattening foods or not.Xenical helps do this by working on the absorption of fat in your body instead of suppressing your appetite. The main ingredient in Xenical is orlistat and when taken with a meal it works on the enzymes in your stomach and ensures that about 30% of the fats eaten in the meal is not absorbed into the body and therefore excreted undigested.When you compare calories, the 9 calories per gram of fat is more than double that of 4 calories for protein and 4 calories for carbohydrates. In fact when I first started with Xenical I had to reduce my intake of diabetic medication because of this sharp drop in calorific intake. And within a few days I started to see the pounds coming off for the first time in my life and the feeling was just so exhilarating.Its now been 5 years and I am able to maintain my ideal weight and feeling so much fitter. As always check with your doctor before embarking on any weight loss program. Check it out for yourself at:http://www.photosonlinespace.com/xenical.php Martin

I lost 30 pounds walking 30 minutes a day. Took about 3 months.

Its totally normal to see the loss in your breasts before it shows in your lower body. I ve lost about 40 lbs over the past 6 months and it shows much more in my upper body than lower, though am I am wearing jeans 2 sizes smaller. Make sure that you re exercising, especially that you re working your lower body. Your waist, hips, etc. will get smaller as you use those muscles. Take your measurements, so that you have a way to see your progress. Your measurements often change before the scale moves or your clothing gets obviously loose, so you can use that to motivate you. Hang in there!

How to lose weight around my stomach and hips? -

I know you cant spot reduce but Im skinny everywhere except my stomach and hips. I got real bad love handles. I want to know of exercises that can help me slim down some. ThanksHow often should I do cardio?

The best approach is to lose weight gradually and for good. Yoga offers a good solution to this problem. Yoga tones the body in a uniformed manner, unlike any weight loss program which claims to decrease your butts by this much inches and waist by this much, leading to side effects. Yoga can be practiced at any age to keep the body supple.http://loseweight-experts.blogspot.com/2��

Jogging is the easiest way to target those problem areas coz while you re doing it, you stretch the ab muscles. Afterwards, do afew sit-ups and crunches. Watch every morsel you put in your mouth.

http://www.sparkpeople.com/It helps you with meal plans, excercise routines, and pointers for problem areas that are fitted to your needs.Remember, being fit is a lifestyle.

LEAN CUISINES. After I had my daughter, I wanted to lose the weight but I didn t have anytime for excerise. I ate one lean cusine for lunch and one for dinner. No breakfast and NO snacks whatsoever. Drink nothing but water. The weight will melt off. It can get tough though. I remember by 10 pm I d be really hungry, but I d fight it and I lost all of the weight.If you can stick to it, give it a try. :)

You re going to need to exercise. Not wanting to work at it is why you re 162 lbs in the first place. Suck it up and balance healthy eating with exercise.Eat a BIG breakfast, followed by 4 - 5 small meals. Balance fruit, vegetable, lean meats, a little cheese, grains, etc. xxx

My girlfriend has tried most things to lose weight but nothing has worked nearly as well as the wu yi tea that she drinks, it s been covered on CNN and Fox News. She melted away 6 pounds in five weeks. She buys it from a friend at work but I found this site in Google; www.Wu-YiNow.com - they have a free trial on at the moment, maybe they re worth a try?

Limit carbs to 20 to 30 grams per day,eat meat,eggs,fish,some cheese,some peanuts.That s it and watch the weight fly off.
