You re leaving something out. You re not being honest with yourself. The bottom line is that if you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. If you re not losing weight, you re eating too much and not getting enough exercise.
hmmm....mabey you just need to change your diet/excersise program everone has their own thing that works because everyone s body reacts differentley to things mabey you should get a personal trainer or excersise different parts of your body
You have to exercise more than once a week and sometimes it ll seem as if your weight has gone up because the scale will say so. If you are exercising enough, then u will gain weight because muscles weigh more than fat. Look at the way clothes fit you not at what the scale says.
When I wanted to lose weight I would eat a peice of dry toast for breakfast, a plain turkey sandwich on wheat bread for lunch and a normal dinner. I had no problem dropping the weight and I was not exercising either.I don t know if your on any medications but I know some medications tend to make you gain weight. If that is not the case you may want to see your doctor. Maybe you have something else going on like an underactive thyroid. When you have an underactive thyroid you gain weight no matter what you do. If that is the case you will need meds to regulate it.One last thing - my cousin was overweight and he worked his way up to using the stationary bike for an hour every day and ended up losing up to 50 lbs. in about 4 months and he kept it off.Good Luck.

Whether you like him or not, you have to respect Dr Phil just because of one thing.He continually asks his guests�� one simple question: How s it working for you? Success in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.I am going to reveal to you the Secret Weight Loss Formula that Celebrity personal trainer don t want you to know about.Before I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. So how does your body burn fat?It is a two steps process and in order to lose body fat you need to:1.Release the fat from the fat cells and only then2.You can burn the fatHow does your body release the fat from the cells?Before you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here what needs to happen: your body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.2.Eat natural foods; avoid processed refined foods3.Eat lean proteins with each meal.4.Eat more complex carbs, fruits vegetables.5.Drink plenty of waterHow does your body burn the fat? If you started exercising and then reached a plateau, you have probably burned more muscle tissue than fat with your workout. This is the worst thing that could happen.Let me explain. Less Muscle = slower metabolism = Weight loss plateauThen you end up in the yo-yo dieting bandwagon.How to burn the *fat* instead of burning muscles.You need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. Doing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Here is what you need to do:1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate2.Never diet but consume little fewer calories that you will burn (No starvation diets, Please...)Your muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to burn body fat. You need to preserve muscle tissues in order to keep losing weight. Most people go on a starvation diet combined a lot of cardio to lose weight. At first it may seems like this is working because they are losing scale weight. Now think about, scale weight does not tell you if weight loss is from fat, water or muscle tissue. Scale weight by itself is not a good indicator of success.To maintain muscle tissues you need to:1.Do some resistance training. (This is not optional, it is mandatory)The secretNow that you understand the whole fat burning process, I am going to reveal to you how celebrity personal trainers do to get those amazing transformations. The strategy is to combine all the steps that I outlined so the body works as a unit. First, the trainer makes sure that his client is eating the proper food on a regular basis. By that, I mean eating so that fat WILL be released from the fat cells. Then and only then they exercise the body to burn the fat. The important idea to take from this is: The fat can ONLY be burned after it is released from the fat cells .If you know anybody that has been exercising like a maniac and they don t seem to go anywhere, now you know why.The reverse is also true, do you know somebody that is eating properly but they are not including any resistance training combined with moderate cardio. Now you know why their body still looks the same.All you need to do is to combine a nutrition program, along with some MODERATE cardio program and maintain muscle mass with resistance training. Everything is combined with one goal in mind: Turning your body into an Automatic fat burning machine. It is that easy.There is a final step to that process and it is tracking your results.Remember Dr Phil; don��t keep doing something that is not working. Tracking helps, you determine what works for YOU and what does not. Without tracking, you have no idea on how to change your strategy.Don t like the results you have been getting? Then CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY.How do you change your strategy? How do you find one that works? DO NOT continue doing something just because THEY say it s the way things should be done. Allow yourself to choose the solution that will work for you, regardless of what it may be. The only way for you to know who is right is to measure your progress and ACTUALLY track your results.CHANGE IS HARD, but it s also worth it. Not getting results makes change EXTREMELY HARD.Get support from friends, family or a coach who knows about body transformation. Losing weight is not as hard at it seems once you know what works for YOU. Visit http://www.charlesblain.com for The Best Weight Loss Exercises .
If you can afford the extra expense, try hiring a personal trainer. Most of the ones that come to your house or meet you at a gym, also provide nutritional information specific to your body type and composition.
I ve been exercising for 3 weeks, but i ve been eating a lot, so its not working out. I suggest the advice above, being honest with one s self, The intake of Calories has to be less. thats all. and Excersice. Good Luck.
walking is a very good cardio vascular exercise (good for the heart). It is important to eat a balanced diet, you need carbohydrate for energy as well as fruit and veg. Drinking plenty of water is also very important.Other exercises you could try would be cycling, if you join a gym, the rowing machines and stair climbers are good as they also tone up areas like your tummy, bum and thighs. sit ups are good too. As well as the above you could try taking a supplement such as sea kelp or lecithin which help metabolise fat (use it as energy). Also you could talk to your doctor especially if you have a lot of weight to lose who could give you a diet plan and advise on other exercises. I hope that this is of some help
it sounds like you are living a healthy lifestyle, but i would add in more exercise. remember that you won t lose weight very quickly in any case (which is normal--shoot for 1 pound per week), and especially if you only exercise once a week. you don t have to do that much exercise every day, just start by taking a brisk, 30 minute walk every day in addition to your walk on the weekends.. once you have been doing this for a couple weeks, try doing a run/walk exercise..for example, run for three minutes, and then walk for two, and repeat this for 30 minutes or so.. and do it every day..also, buy some dumbells and do weight training.i hope these suggestions helpgood luck!
My 15 year old son has the same problem. He gains and gains yet never sits still and his eating habits are normal for his age and activity level. We took him to the Dr and found out that he has Cushing s Disease, which was a tumor growing off of his pituitary gland and in combination his adrenal glands are malfunctioning. If you truly can t loose weight and you are sure that it s not your eating or activity, then go see your Dr. At least then you will know.
I have stuck to one key rule that seems to work for me. I eat what I m hungry for. It has gotten to the point that things I once at often I no longer crave, they might even make me feel ill when I eat them. It has taken me five years to really get this way but I crave healthier foods now. And every now and again when I crave something that might not be too good for me I understand that my body might actually need something in that food. Also I try not to over-eat the good foods. I set a limit and I ve trained myself to know when I m full. I ll feel uneasy if I ve eaten more than what my body needed of a certain food, even if it is good for me. Good luck.
It may seem strange, but losing weight is more of a state of mind than it is an eating and exercise regimen. While it s true that ultimately to lose weight you eat less calories than you expend, each person s eating habits and metabolism are different. Most of all, their reasons for eating the way they do are different.As one who has gained weight and lost it three times now (with three different diets!), I know about that battle. Right now, a modified South Beach diet is working quite well (and I m not exercising much at all). If you really are eating healthily (which I now realize means WAY less sweets and carbs than most Americans eat!), then the only other choice is to eat even LESS, which isn t always a great choice, or exercising more. But know that if you quit exercising, you are MORE likely to gain weight back, and perhaps more than you have before!Good luck!
