How to lose weight? -

hi im 5 2 and 120 pounds, i have a very curvy figure but i want to lose weight and i do not know how, any good diet tips?

Remember fast weight loss is not permanent weight loss.Did you know that 1 pound of extra muscle will help you burn 50 calories per day? Then imagine what 6 pounds can do, yep 300 calories per day!I have lost 6kg (13lbs), 4 inches from my waist and 4 inches from my hips in 5 weeks.Have a look at my workouts here;http://disciplineorregret.wordpress.com/��I hope this helps.Take care,Andrew

go to curves, they have very good recipes to choose from and a good gym. even if you reach the amount of weight you want to lose i would try to keep it up, i mean there is nothing to lose, except a few pounds. also if you are not busy try to run twice a day. you can do it if you try.

Why are you concerned with weight ? Muscle weighs more than fat. In fact, if you are toned and show muscle definition, chances are you ll weigh more than a person of similar size and body measurements, due to your higher amount of muscle mass. In a nutshell, do NOT judge your health by your weight! I ve seen a lot of obese people lose waistline measurements but become frustrated because they put on weight. They do not understand the simple concept that muscle weighs more than fat.If you do feel you want to lose an inch or so, trying working out in the mornings, prior to eating. Doing cardiovascular workouts just after rising are more beneficial than after 2-3 meals throughout the day. That is, you ll be burning fat, not the calories from the food you have eaten throughout the day. Good luck!

They key is not to stress out. The most common failure of weightloss regimes occurs when people get frustrated because they feel they are not losing weight fast enoough. In order to avoid this, you need to have realistic expectations.Healthy weightloss comes in at around 1-2 pounds a week. A lot of people don t understand--or even know-- about this. But it is HEALTHY, and that is the point.You need to cut out anything white. White food= processed food, and that s where a lot of people make mistakes. Limit your sugar, breads, candy, etc. Get rid of soda and greasy, fatty foods. The best thing to do is go through your refrigerator and throw away anything you think is unhealthy. Then go out and buy fruits, vegetable, fish, nuts, and beans. These will be your best friends!For exercise, I would recommend joining a sport or going to the gym with your friends. I was about twenty pounds overweight when i joined field hockey. i lost it all, and had a lot of fun in the process! I was just playing, and did not realize the transformation my body was going through. it s very hard to work out alone. it s easy to get discrouraged and lazy that way. Stay positive! You are thinking in the right direction. Just about how great you will feel and look!

Diets never work. They may for a brief period of time, but not in the long run. Also, never trust diet pills. All they do is dehydrate your body making you believe that you re losing weight when in reality you re just losing water. The best way to go is exercise. It s as simple as this: as long as you burn off the calories that you consume, you will lose weight. Of course, what you eat plays a big role on weight loss too... Try to eat 3 full meals/day with small snacks in between. The more often you feed yourself, the higher your metabolism will remain. It is a common misconception that the fewer meals you eat, the more likely you ll lose weight. What happens though is that your metabolism slows down because your body does not know when you ll feed it next, so it stores as much as it can to protect itself from starvation.Also, make sure that all of your meals are well balanced. For example, for breakfast (which is the most important meal of day), have some eggs, or egg whites only if you choose, fruit, oatmeal, or bran cereal. For lunch, a turkey or chicken breast sandwich on multi-grain bread is a good choice. Do not use whole wheat bread. People always assume that because the words whole and wheat are in it, they re good for you. In reality, it s just as nutritional for you as white bread, the only difference is the color. For dinner make sure you stick with lean meats, fish, and veggies. If you like rice or pasta, make sure that it s brown rice or whole grain pasta. Try to limit your carbohydrate intake as much as possible if you re not working out. Because what isn t used will be stored as fat.As far as snacks go, avoid those high in fat, especially saturated fats (chips, cookies, etc.). Fruit and vegetables are the way to go. If you have a craving for sweets at any point, dark chocolate is actually good for you (in moderation, of course). As far as working out goes, running is the best for cardiovascular fitness. If you have weak joints, try swimming or the eliptical machine, if you go to the gym. Lifting weights (high repititions and low weight: e.g., 3 sets of 12 reps) is good for losing weight because the more muscle you build, the more fat your body will burn. The only downside to weights is that you have to be patient. Muscle weighs more than fat so you may be gaining weight on the scale but in reality you re losing fat in process, so in the end you re losing the good weight! =)Last tip of the day: never rely on scales as your source of progression. It s not only discouraging, it doesn t take into account your muscle and bone mass. The best way to monitor your weight loss is by your waist size. Do your pants still fit you or are they looser now?Anyway, nutrition and fitness are such elaborate topics. I could go on all day about different facts and methods in losing weight. If there s anything else you want to know just ask. Good luck!

Try to get more information on dieting, weight loss articles, health and fitness articles, weight loss forum and BMI calculator at my profile and get the advise from them to lose weight fast and healthy.

I don t recommend going on a diet. Diets don t work. It s best just to watch what you eat. I wouldn t consume more than 1,500 calories in a day. Using a treadmill or going for a jog everyday would help you get in shape. Just don t starve yourself or crash diet. I m 5 2 also and I understand how easy it is to put on weight.
