So then can you give me tips? (on how to lose weight)? -

Can you give me ideas

The surest way to success is to make small changes. Think in terms of manageable baby steps, like swapping the full fat milk in your morning coffee for skimmed milk. There are lots of little changes you can make �C in your diet and your daily routine �C that will add up to a lot of weight loss over the long haul.Take a look at our 25 tips below for eating healthier, fitting exercise into your busy day and revamping your daily routine. Start by picking five changes that you re sure you can tackle and practise them this week. Then try another five next week (click the print link above to print this out for easy reference).Not every idea is right for everyone, so experiment and see what works for you. Lots of little changes can yield big weight loss results �C and a healthier new you!Eating TipsGood things come in small packages. Here s a trick for staying satisfied without consuming large portions: Chop high calorie foods like cheese and chocolate into smaller pieces. It will seem like you re getting more than you actually are.Don t give up dips. If you love creamy dips and sauces, don t cut them out of your food plan completely. Just use low fat soft cheese and mayo instead of the full fat stuff.Get water-wise. Make a habit of reaching for a glass of water instead of a high fat snack. It will help your overall health as well as your waistline. So drink up! Add some zest to your six to eight glasses a day with a twist of lemon or lime.Herb it up. Stock up your spice rack, and start growing a small herb garden in your kitchen window. Spices and herbs add fantastic flavour to foods without adding fat or calories.Slim down your soup. Make a big batch of soup and refrigerate it before you eat it. As it cools, the fat will rise to the top and can be skimmed off the surface.Go American and doggie-bag that dinner. At restaurants that you know serve large portions, ask the waiter to put half your main course in a take away box before bringing it to your table. Putting the food away before you start your meal will help you practise portion control.Listen to your cravings. If you re craving something sweet, eat something sweet �C just opt for a healthier nosh, like fruit, instead of a high calorie one. The same goes for crunchy cravings �C for example, try air-popped popcorn instead of high fat crisps. It s just smart substitution!Ease your way into produce. If you re new to eating lots of fruits and vegetables, start slowly. Just add them to the foods you already enjoy. Pile salad veg into your sandwiches, or add fruit to your cereal.Look for high fat hints. Want an easy way to identify high calorie meals? Keep an eye out for these words: au gratin, parmigiana, tempura, alfredo, creamy and carbonara, and enjoy them in moderation.Don t multi-task while you eat. If you re working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won t be paying attention to what s going into your mouth �C and you won t be enjoying every bite. Today, every time you have a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavours and textures. You ll enjoy your food more and eat less.Taste something new. Broaden your food repertoire �C you may find you like more healthy foods than you knew. Try a new fruit or vegetable (ever had plantain, pak choi, starfruit or papaya?).Leave something on your plate at every meal. One bite of bagel, half your sandwich, the bun from your burger. See if you still feel satisfied eating just a bit less.Get to know your portion sizes. It s easy to underestimate how much you re eating. Today, don t just estimate things �C make sure. Ask how much is in a serving, read the fine print on labels, measure your food. And learn portion equivalents: One serving of pasta, for instance, should be around the size of a tennis ball.Make a healthy substitution. Learn to swap healthier foods for their less-healthy counterparts. Today, find a substitution that works for you: Use skimmed milk instead of full fat milk; try wholewheat bread instead of white.Bring lunch to work tomorrow. Packing lunch will help you control your portion sizes. It also provides a good alternative to restaurants and takeaways, where making healthy choices every day can be challenging (not to mention expensive).Have some dessert. You don t have to deny yourself all the time. Have a treat that brings you pleasure, but this time enjoy it guilt-free �C be sure you re practising portion control, and compensate for your indulgence by exercising a little more or by skipping your afternoon snack.Ask for what you need. Tell your mother-in-law you don t want seconds. Ask your other half to stop bringing you chocolates. Speak up for the place with great salads when your co-workers are picking a restaurant for lunch. Whatever you need to do to succeed at weight loss, ask for it �C make yourself a priority and assert yourself. Fitness TipsImprove your treadmill technique. When walking on a treadmill, don t grip the rails. It s fine to touch them for balance, but you shouldn t have to hold on. If you do, that might be a signal you should lower the intensity level.Simon says... get fit. Here s an easy way to fit in exercise with your kids: Buy a set of 1lb weights and play a round of Simon Says �C you do it with the weights, they do it without. They ll love it!Make the most of your walks. If your walking routine has become too easy, increase your effort by finding hills. Just be sure to tackle them at the beginning of your walk, when you have energy to spare.Shop til you drop... pounds! Add a workout to your shopping sessions by parking your car as far from the shop as possible, to get more walking in. And try walking up the escalator �C getting to your destination faster will be an added bonus.Walk an extra 100 steps at work. Adding even a little extra exercise to your daily routine can boost your weight loss. Today, take the stairs instead of the lift, or stroll down the hall to talk to a co-worker instead of sending an email or calling. Lifestyle TipsBrush your teeth after every meal and snack. This will be a signal to your mouth �C and your mind �C that it s time to stop eating. Brushing will also give your mouth a nice fresh taste that you ll be disinclined to ruin with a random crisp. At work, keep a toothbrush with a cover and toothpaste in your desk drawer.Clean your cupboard! First, it s great exercise. Second, it s an important step in changing your attitude. Get rid of all the clothes that make you look or feel bad. Throw out anything that s too big �C don t give yourself the option of ever fitting into those clothes again. Move the smaller clothes up to the front to help motivate you. Soon, you ll be fitting into those too-tight jeans you couldn t bear to part with.Take your measurements. You might not like your stats now, but you ll be glad you wrote them down when you see how many inches you ve lost. It s also another way to measure your success, instead of just looking at the scale. Sometimes even when the numbers on the scale aren t going down, the measurements on your body are.

Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I m also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me. You can check the website at http://www.justlonline.info , I had a free trial and paid less than 7.00$ shipping and handling. Best of luck!

Simple just cut out carbs

Chick nailed it. Don t take drugs, it doesn t matter if they say all natural or not, they are not good for you.If you are excessively overweight see a doctor before you do anything, diet or otherwise, but if you are just trying to drop a few extra the key is to burn more calories than you consume.I m the opposite of chick s mom, I love to cook and eat, so I work out 60 minutes 6 times a week to keep the weight off.A couple points to remember;*With age your metabolism slows down, what worked when I was 30 doesn t now that I m 40.*Talk to a doctor and if he releases you for exercise spend a few bucks on a trainer to get you started, if you go all gung-ho, pull something and end up injured for 2 months you will assuredly gain weight while you are down and get discouraged.*Be patcient, if you are doing it right you will not lose 15 pounds a week like you see on TV all the time, measure weight, inches and body fat if you can. That will tell you more in terms of what you are accomplishing.*The fat comes off where it wants, sit-ups will not flatten your tummy, regardless of what people think. Typically the first place you want to lose is the last place it comes off, generally tummy for men and butt and thighs for women.*Don t get discouraged and make it a way of life. Don t set a goal of X pounds and then when you hit it stop diet and exercise, it will come back plus more. If that s what you are planning it s healthier to do nothing.Good luck!!

Do people who way 3 or 400 pounds lose weight faster than we do? -

I heard that extremely obese people can lose weight faster than others, is that true?

True and False. It takes about 3500 calories burned off to lose 1 pound of fat. So in that respect no, it takes the same amount of energy consumed for a fat or a skinny person to lose a pound. However due to their large mass, the metabolic requirement for all that tissue, they may have a higher sum of required energy (basal metabolic rate) than that of someone who is 100 pounds. It is also more work for them to move the larger mass, hence they burn more calories per step versus someone who weighs 100 pounds, so in that respect it is true. Now if someone were to be 3-400 pounds of muscle then yes they would burn energy at a much faster rate because the metabolic requirements of muscle are far greater than that of fat.

Yes, they do. Because they have much more to lose, so it comes off faster, but when they get down to an average weight, the losses will slow down.

Its because they get gastric bypass surgery.

not nessesaraly. they might loose it faster because they work really hard but u can loose it just as fast. u just have to be determined.

People with large amounts of weight initially drop weight faster but eventually it comes down to diet and exercise. The closer you are to your ideal weight the tougher it is. Those last 5 - 10 pounds take for ever This is not professional but from years of experience. Mine and others. Losing weight quickly usually gains back just as quickly.

No, that s propaganda to make it look like these diets or exercise things work. People have to exercise and eat right all the time. If they do, they will lose weight.

At first yes, its the it is the lst 10 lbs that is hard for most everyone

yeah they do, they have more to loose....ya know?

They lose more weight because they have it but everyone is different; one person can drop pounds in mere months while, for others, it takes time.

Probably not !! Otherwise they wouldn t weigh 3-400 pounds !!

Depends on how hard they try to lose weight and what they do to lose weight.

yes

yes they do, because a person who weighs 300 or 400lbs needs about 4000 calories per day or 28000 per week to maintain that weight. if they only consume about 2000 calories per day or 14000 per week then they will have consumed 14000 less calories in a week. which is about 4lbs. if someone who only weights 180 pounds needs about 2000 calories per day to maintain that weight. then they would have to consume about 1500 per day. any lower and their metabolism will start to slow down, which will slow down your fat burning. if they consume 1500 calories a day, then the will only lose about 1lb a week. the really overweight people can afford to drop more calories without slowing their metabolism. also, an overweight person doing the same excersize that an average person does will burn more calories because they need more energy to do so because they have more weight to move.

yes they have much more weight to loose therfore their bodies give up their fat resources easier then people with trim bodies because the body hangs on to the fat as much as possible

How can i lose weight fast without exercise? -

I am 15, 5 ft and 145 pounds, and i want to lose at least 25-35 pounds. how can i lose it in a family situation? my mom doesn t support diets and my dad doesn t care. i cant skip dinner, but i can miss breakfast and lunch, what do i do???? HELP!

There are many forms of metabolism going on in your body right now, but the one everyone is talking about it the metabolism of fat. This is actually something that the liver does when it converts stored fat to energy. The liver has other functions, but this is one of its main jobs.Unfortunately, another of the liver s duties is to pick up the slack for the kidneys, which need plenty of water to work properly. If the kidneys are water-deprived, the liver has to do their work along with its own, lowering its total productivity. It then can t metabolize fat as quickly or efficiently as it could when the kidneys were pulling their own weight. If you allow this to happen, not only are you being unfair to your liver, but you re also setting yourself up to store fatso,so, drink the water, alos ,.by investing in a good set of non-stick cookware is a good way to cut down on the amount of fat needed to cook almost anything. * Choose fish, shellfish, poultry without the skin, and trimmed lean meats, no more than 6 ounces, cooked, per day.* Enjoy at least 2 servings of baked or grilled fish each week, especially oily fish.* Choose low-sodium, low-fat seasonings such as spices, herbs and other flavorings in cooking and at the table.* Select meat substitutes such as dried beans, peas, lentils or tofu (soybean curd) in entrees, salads or soups.Fruits and vegetablesEating a diet that is rich in colorful fruits and vegetables can change your mood, energy, and spirits. Fruits and vegetables greatly reduce your risk of certain diseases, and they are naturally low in calories and high in fiber, which is perfect for a healthy low-calorie diet. do not eat lunch meat or hot dogs or drink soda .do not eat chips and junk food , and do not eat before you go to bed, you should eat well each day and the right foods and the weight will come off, if you eat small amounts of food your body will go into a starvation mode and the weight won t come off and so, many people don t drink enough water each day and do all these exercises and wonder why they can t lose that much weight. i don t like to drink water so, i keep a cup in the bathroom and when i go pee i drink a cup . the cold water will make your body burn calories and water is good for your skin and make your skin look younger it will take away some wrinkles, i hope i helped, l.o.l.

eat atleast 3 fruits, 4 veggies, 2 proteins, 2 starches and i fat perday. also drink 8 glasses of water. taking dietary supplements like a fat burner and essential fatty acids help you lose more weight. essential fatty acids are good for keeping your skin tight when losing weight that way you wont be flabbyEdit: there are also some rules you may want to consider. i would advise to to not eat any fruits after 6 o clock since they contain sugar. and no sugars at all, if you really feel the need for something sweet have a proteing bar during the day. but only 1 and dont eat those after 6 also.

Skipping meals is STUPID, it s not a diet, and you ll be so hungry from doing so that you ll likely binge, and put on even more weight.Keep your hunger at bay buy eating six SMALL meals throughout the days.Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. Eat small portions of whatever is on the plate.Healthy meals for the 3 main ones, and fruits, and nuts for the snacks.You must do some form of exercise even if it s just walking.It s just not smart to not exercise.

Hi!Try to cut those extra calories.It is very important that you eat all 3 meals. Tell your Mom you want to have a healthier body and in order to get one you want to eat more fiber, fruits, vegetables, water, low fat dairy and lean meats.

Being a healthy weight is determined from many factors. I would suggest you to get your body fat measured and then you can use that as a more accurate predictor of health. I do have some suggestions for you.Always check with your doctor before beginning any exercise and nutrition plan.You need a good combination of aerobic activity and resistance training combined with a healthy diet. It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term, you need a good comprehensive exercise and nutrition plan.A good program looks like this:Always warm up and cool downMuscular Strength Endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups (hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more when you begin a resistance program. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don t exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.If you do not have money for a gym membership or do not have access to one, here is a great website to create a work out plan only using your body weight.http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/exercise��You can also search for all kinds of exercises that use weight.Here is another great website for finding some good exercises for different parts of the body.http://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/St��Here is a great link to a comprehensive musculoskeletal atlas of the body to help you understand what exactly you are workinghttp://www.preventdisease.com/home/muscl��Also, if you are having trouble deciding what type of program you should be doing, here is a website that may help you to better understand the different forms of strength.http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kelly2.h��Cardiovascular Endurance-This part is extremely important for fat burning and enhancing your overall cardiovascular performance. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. In order to have an effective cardio plan you must first make sure you remain in your target heart rate zone for at least 30 minutes a day (you can start out doing this for 3 days a week and build up) and then you can build up to 45-60 minutes a day. This will seriously help to burn fat as well as raise your VO2Max which is basically a number that represents the capacity of your cardiorespiratory system. The higher the number the more efficient your cardio system is. You can learn more about VO2 at the following website.http://www.preventdisease.com/news/artic��In order to determine your target heart rate, do the following:know these numbers:maximum heart rate= (220-age)resting heart rate=(get this by counting your pulse for a minute when you first wake up in the morning)heart rate reserve=(maximum heart rate-resting heart rate)then calculate training intensity:TI= Heart rate reserve x percentage(use 70%-85%) + resting heart rateNow your training intensity number is important because this is the number you want to reach for a particular training intensity. This is the number your heart rate has to get to in order to be in the optimum cardio training zone.You can perform the TI equation for 70% and then another for 85% to get a good range for your heart rate. This is your own personal target heart rate zone.You can either count your pulse yourself or use a heart rate monitor while you are exercising. You can buy one at most electronic stores. I recommend the heart rate monitor because you don t have to do anything and it lets you know where you are. Some even beep when you reach your zone or when you go above it. Mine has a strap you put on under your clothes and a watch that shows you your heart rate as well as other things. Now of course, any type of heart rate monitor will not be perfect because there are factors that are not taken into account, but it is one of the most accurate ways to keep track of your heart rate that is easily available to the public.Here is a website to help you calculate your target heart rate zonehttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtool��Here is a good website for some information on how to measure your physical activity intensityhttp://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/physical��Now, I needed to tell you all of that so I can let you know what cardio activities will fit this type of requirement. The following are great activities for a good aerobic plan:cycling, jogging, running, walking, rowing, stair climbing, elliptical machine, aerobic dance, bench step aerobics, hiking, in-line skating, skiing, rope skipping, swimming, and water aerobics. Any of these activities are acceptable only if you make sure your heart rate stays within your target heart rate zone. This does not count your warm-up or cool-down either. You need at least 30 minutes within your zone for the best benefits because for most people your body does not begin to burn fat until you have been working aerobically in your heart rate zone for at least 30 minutes. Of course all exercise is good for you, so even if you do not make it to your heart rate zone, it still is good for you and there will be benefits from it. Just work your way up, start slow, and you will be gradually improving your body s cardiovascular performance and burning fat. Once your body gets used to performing aerobically it will begin to burn fat faster than someone who is not on a cardio program. You can find calculators at the following website to calculate about how many calories are burned by different activities.http://www.preventdisease.com/healthtool��Here are a few websites that will help you to begin a fitness walking programhttp://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/fi��http://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/wa��Or if you prefer, you can begin a jogging programhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/fitnes��Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.You can calculate an estimate of your body composition and target weight here:http://www.preventdisease.com/healthtool��The following website will help you to understand a little more about body compositionhttp://preventdisease.com/news/articles/��Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.Here are some good websites to learn more about flexibility and stretchinghttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/fundam��http://www.cmcrossroads.com/bradapp/docs��Diet- You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. All those low carb diets or fad diets out there will not help you lose weight safely. You can read more about the risks of low carb diets at the following websitehttp://www.preventdisease.com/news/artic��Know that 1 lb. of fat is equal to 3,500 calories. So if you eat 500 calories less per day for a week than you normally would (by either cutting back or changing what you eat or even by burning 500 calories from exercise) that is 3,500 calories and you should lose 1 lb. that week. I know that does not sound like a lot, but it is a proven fact that you should not lose more than 1-3 lbs. per week because it is not safe nor does it stay off. If you work to lose 1-3 lbs a week then it is much more likely to be the safe way and will stay off for long-term if you continue to live a healthy lifestyle.I do not like the word diet because most people think of a diet as a short-term way of losing weight when the most effective way of losing weight is to completely change your lifestyle. Here are some ways to change the way you eat:Always follow the food guide pyramid with focus on fruits and vegetables and lean meat such as chicken or fish. Make sure you get enough fiber and water in your diet. You should get 20-30 grams of fiber every day along with plenty of water. You can go to http://preventdisease.com/home/tips65.sh�� to learn more about fiber and tips on how to get more in your diet. You should drink a total of 8 eight-ounce glasses of water a day at least. This is different for everyone, but you should be able to figure out about how much water you need a day. You can go to http://preventdisease.com/news/articles/�� to learn more about how much water you should drink. Get your carbs from complex carbohydrates (pasta, rice, grains, cereals, potatoes, dried beans and peas) that contain whole wheat. When you buy something such as bread make sure the first ingredient is whole wheat and does not contain the word enriched. You can learn more about carbohydrates at the following website.http://www.preventdisease.com/fitness/we��You can also learn how to choose healthy breakfast cereals at the following websitehttp://www.drmirkin.com/nutrition/N180.h��Learn what serving sizes are and how to properly use them. This is very important because the average American consumes way too much and it is because serving sizes are out of control.Even when you go out to eat or to fast food places you can eat healthy. Choose low fat or low calorie food items such as a salad ( fat-free cheese and dressing), grilled chicken sandwich, etc. When you go out to eat you can also split an entree with someone or ask them to put half in a to-go box in the back before they even bring it to you.Always eat breakfast and never skip any meals. I have also done research on this and this helps to keep your metabolism up and makes sure you do not overeat, among many other things. Try for 3 meals a day with 2 snacks.Try as much as you can to stay away from saturated and trans fat because they are both bad for you and should be consumed as little as possible. Mono and polyunsaturated fats or good for you but fat should only make up 25-35% of total calories. If the food label ingredient list contains partially hydrogenated that means it contains trans fat and should be avoided when possible. The following website offers a plan to follow to help fight fathttp://msn.prevention.com/article/0,5778��Watch out for your caffeine intake, you can find how much caffeine is in certain things at the following website.http://health.yahoo.com/topic/nutrition/��A lot of people also focus on high protein but in reality you only need .8 grams of protein for every kilogram of your body weight.

How to lose weight from my chest and stomach area? -

I am 16 years old, 6 1 Tall, and I weigh around 170lbs on an average day. This is supposed to be around my ideal weight, or so I ve heard, but I still have a problem with my chest and stomach areas and the fat in those areas. I have tried to do sit-ups/crunches everyday but that doesn t seem to help, I usually end up doing around 150 per day and have been doing that for around 1.5 Months. I am pretty atheletic, yet somehow I can t lost my extra upper body weight/fat. If you know of any exercises that would help and how many reps to do of that exercise(s) that would be awesome. Also, I can join a gym if anybody reccomends it. Thanks for your help!

When we want to get rid of body fat, there is no way to specifically burn fat from one part of the body. Doing situps won t burn the fat that is covering your abs and doing tricep extensions won t get rid of the fat that is covering your triceps. The only thing you can do is lose weight all around and eventually the problem area will also improve. The way to burn fat is through a calorie restricted diet in conjunction with an exercise routine that will burn calories. Activities that burn calories include running, biking, swimming and other high intensity activities.Guide to Reducing Body Fat - http://straighthealth.com/pages/guides/r��

do suisides or run around a track or neighborhood. Or along w/ those cruches/sit-ups do some jumping jacks and push ups.

You might try working out with dumbells. Muscle mass will increase your metabolism. Stay away from fast food, especially fried food. Cut down on sugar and only eat only low fat dairy products. Drink more water. It would probably help if you got into jogging. Jog twice a day for six days a week. It s best if you rest for one day a week. Good luck.

You have to come up with some type of a reward system, this will help keep you motivated. One of the best things to do is make a contingency contract. Stating what you want to do, who will help you do it, and what do you get for doing it. Then also try to find a well balance diet program. My friend did this one diet program where the average weight lose is 7 pounds in 9 days. It might be the thing you are looking for, I know it s well balanced. If you want e-mail me and I can tell you more about either of these.
