Any methods on how to lose weight? -

I am 20 years old and in the last 2 years ive had 3 kids . ive gained altogether 50 lbs. ive done diet and exercise as much as a mother 3 can but for the past 3 months i still havent seen any progress. no inches or lbs lost. Does anyone know of a better method? Ill take any suggestions.

Food:Stay away from white grains like pasta, bread, flour, and rice. When eating grains go for whole wheat, it��s a lot healthier and has fewer calories. When eating meat, always go for lean or extra lean if available. Also stay away from junk food �C of course! But, don��t demonize it, because if you are the type who loves their chocolate bars and you completely cut yourself off, you��ll only want them more. Cut down you junk intake to once a week, and on the day you have that chocolate bar make a mental note to get an extra 15 minutes of exercise that day.Make sure you drink lots of water; it helps your metabolism and hydrates your body (obviously). If you don��t drink enough water your body will think its going to be starved, and will go into ��survival mode�� �C this��ll cause your body to retain all the water you do drink and all the fat it can get because its preparing to be starved. Also, drinking green tea every morning increases your daily metabolism by 17%. You can take vitamin b complex to increase your metabolism as well. Try eating 5 small meals a day to keep your metabolism working, and never skip breakfast! Skipping breakfast will slow your metabolism for the day!When you snack only snack on fruits and veggies �C they��re nutritious and delicious! And low in calories. My doctor recommended eating a slice of cheese with a piece of fruit as a snack so your also getting protein with your fruit. Try to stop eating after 7 pm, and only drink tea, milk, or water after that. This��ll prevent you from going to bed with food in your stomach that won��t be burned while you��re sleeping; it��ll just get turned into fat that you don��t want.Exercise:For exercise, make sure you get AT LEAST 30 minutes a day, but I��d recommend 60 minutes. Do cardio exercise every day as well as strength exercises like push ups and crunches. Combining the two exercises will help to prevent having saggy skin once you��ve lost weight. Swimming can be a good strength exercise if you like going to the pool or lake �C it tones everything at once and its fun! While you��re doing cardio (like jogging or running) make a routine that��ll challenge you but not over work you. Try running for 5 minutes then walking for 5. If that gets too easy try running for 6 walking for 4 etc.

make sure you exercise at least 30-60 mins a day.plan your exercise, don t overload yourself in short burts because this will probably just result in you hurting yourself. drink three cups of green tea a day, if you drink coffee, drink a glass of water alongside it as caffeine is a diuretic.

the only way that you are going to lose weight is to do a strenuous exercise for 30 mins and get your heart rate up where you are breathing hard. A great new exercise equipment that I use is called the arc trainer it s kinda like skiing and running. it s easy on your knees and back and it really gets you sweating. i do 30 mins 4-5 times a week. i have 80 lbs to lose and it took me about 2 months to start losing about a few pounds a week. it will work just keep working at it. don t get frustrated. keep going. you can do it!!!!!

It s systematice. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner as a pauper. Get to bed on time and get up early. Stop the fast food, fried food. Eat fruit and vegetables at mealtime. Small meals and more frequent is better than gorging. Get your exercise. Set reasonable goals: 3 lbs. weight loss/mo. If you really want to get organized, go to your doctor and ask what your maintenence calorie intake is for a day. Then cut off about 300 calories from that a day and that will guarantee that you will lose weight consistently. Of course, this presumes that you are willing to take the time to create daily meals to meet your goals.

you can actually lose weight like crazy without actually even going on a diet.just don t eat anything white. No flower tortillas, white bread, mayonnaise, ice cream, or anything like that. And it s always good to drink a lot of water so you have a clean system and your belly is fooland if your craving something just chew gum. did you know if you chew gum for an hour you can lose 1 lbs? true fact it is.
