How much weight do you need to lose? Don t cut your calories too much-it slows down your metabolism, so if you ever increase your caloric intake back to what you ate before, you will gain weight. That said, try avoiding processed and fast foods. These are not very filling and contribute to weight gain. A good example of a healthy but filling diet is oatmeal (w/ brown sugar or a little peanut butter) for breakfast, turkey sandwich w/ salad fruit for lunch, and a dinner of brown rice, a lean meat (like fish or chicken), and two non-starchy veggies (look online for good, low-cal ways to prepare these things)....If you want to have long-term weight loss, try beginning a regular exercise routine. I find the best time of day to exercise is in the morning. It s just a lot more convenient-you don t have to worry what you look like as you head out the door, because, after all, it s 5 or 6 a.m.-who cares what you look like? After you get your workout in, you already feel like you ve accomplished something, and you can get on with your day. Just make it something you do-like brushing your teeth. Try to do strength training (something like pilates-you can buy some good, inexpensive videos; or look up a strength training program online, which utilizes light weights/high reps to avoid bulking up ) three to four times a week, as well. This can be tricky-at first, you may actually gain weight due to increased muscle mass (muscle weighs more than fat); however, you will eventually lose weight/inches b/c more muscle increases your metabolism, so you burn more calories as part of your BMR (basal metabolic rate). Oh, and one more thing-the secret to having a flat, toned stomach is to, first, lose abdominal fat. Unfortunately, one cannot just lose fat from a specific area by doing sit-ups, etc. If you lose weight, it will come from all areas of your body, not just your abs. To get a 6-pack (and some of this is genetic whether you can achieve the elusive 6-pack), do some abdominal exercises that challenge you, working up to about ten minutes a day. Two of my favorite exercises are the plank (this has several names-I believe-it s basically a push-up that you hold for several minutes straight-you can probably find some diagrams online) and V-ups with a weighted ball (I do about 50 a day)...Hope this helps! Oh, and I agree, PE, for the most part, is pretty pointless...lol! Good luck!!!
Run on the treadmill everyday. Decrease your calories drastically. hopefully this will help.
Sorry, but there s no fast way to lose weight. Losing weight slowly is the safest way to lose. (2 to 3 lbs weekly) Cut out junk food, eat plenty of fresh fruits veggies daily, eat lots of chicken, turkey, fish, lean red meat. Cut down on eating sugary foods such as cakes, pies, candy, etc. Drink plenty of water daily, as it flushes out the impurities, exercise daily. Walking is the most natural form of exercise the easiest on your joints. Increase your walking distance speed little by little. Brisk walking is best for burning calories. Do some gentle stretcing warm ups before you begin walking each day cool down after a nice walk, when you re done. Just wallk slowly for about ten minutes. Carry water with you when you are walking, so you won t get dehydrated. Walking in itself, is great for getting toned it doesn t cost a dime.
Look on line for, cleansing diets Basically they are recipes given to people before certain surgeries. There is nothing dangerous about them. They are just meant to flush out the bodies impurities before surgery. They are composed mostly of vegetable type soups. If you get hungry try snacking on toast between meals. Walking will help also. Wear proper shoes and good luck.
If you really want to do this then get off your bum and get out running! Don t wait for just PT lessons get out there and enjoy yourself. Plus doing sit-up s will help, just use a sofa or under a the bed to support your feet and crack on. But don t over do it, just do what you can often enough and you will have a flat stomach.
