Weight loss tips? -

mmkayso I know there are probably hundreds of these out there but...I need tips on how to maximize weight loss but still stay at a healthy level. I m already losing weight, but I feel like I could be losing it a little more quickly. So, does anyone have any tips on:*increasing metabolism*losing weight and toning up at the same time*maximizing weight loss while still being healthyetc.and I don t want one of those uber expensive diet/excercise plans...I know you don t have to spend tons of cash to lose weight, tone up, and get healthy...I just need some tips on how to do it better...please and thank you for your help

It really all comes down to your commitment level. Losing weight healthily takes some time. If you re willing to put in the hours of work outs each week and consume less calories, you ll do great!A few tips...- work on toning up. Do a warm up exercise, strength train (build up your lean muscle mass), work your cardio (run, bike, that sort of thing), work your abs, and then cool down with a nice walk. It usually takes me a good hour everyday, but I definitely reap the benefits.- don t eat anything after seven pm (water is alright). - give yourself at least three hours between when you last ate and when you go to sleep (digestive purposes)- eat well proportioned meals- stop eating too much junk food. You can still have some, but limit your intake.- stop eating before you re at the full point. If 1 is starving and 5 is full, eat to about the 3.5-4 point. Hope this helps!Good luck!

+of course the most important thing is to eat breakfasti read in teen vogue that eating breakfast kickstarts your metabolism.+lunch should be nutritious and have no more than 500 calories+drink water instead of surgary sports drinksits healthy and has no calories or fat+dinner should be your smallest meal of the day[best if eaten before 7 o clock pm]+exercise [but make sure that fat does not turn into muscle or else it is hard to get rid of]a good way to keep this from happening is to take a water bottle and roll it along the back side of your calves.i hope this helps!

Exercise more, eat less.

carmen electras strip tease videos and do not eat anything white. sugar, ranch, flour, pasta, bread. nothing white.

See a nutritionist for a healthy weight loss diet.Good luck !

Okay here s the thing - I started to do weight watchers when I was in my early 40 s -- so yeah, you may think I m old BUT think about this -- it s HARD to lose weight when you are older but I lost 60 lbs -- I did NOT go to meetings -- just got the cookbooks, bought Healthy Choice (they have WW points on them -- a LOT of frozen health stuff does) --- I KEPT the weight off for FIVE YEARS...because I did not lose it too fast -- that is the key. I ve dieted ALL MY LIFE and the ONLY way to keep it off is to lose is slowly and in a healthy way. I used to lose/gain and then gain MORE making wrong choices.ANOTHER GREAT way is to look up diabetic diets....I m serious - this is the healthiest of them all......you are supposed to eat like 6 times a day -- so you don t get hungry - you just learn different ways to cook and live your life. It s not as hard as it sounds.

check outhttp://tipsonweightloss.blogspot.com/tips on this site - it has website and recipes to see

eat 5 or 6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones...it will keep your energy metabolism going throughout the day and you ll be less hungry and will be less prone to snacking.high-protein, low-carb has always worked for me.drink a LOT of water--at least 10 8-ounce glasses.try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise 3-5 days a week.limit sugar saturated fat.try some light weight-lifting, even if you re a girl--your metabolism will be up for hours, even days, and you only have to do it a couple of times a week for maybe 10-20 minutes each. you won t bulk up if you do it light...walk or bike places instead of taking the car/bus!DON T starve yourself, make sure you re eating at least 1200 calories a day.TRACK CALORIES in a notebook or on fitday.com.good luck!

Run every morning and do crunches! You can probably find a bunch of real nice light excerise work outs that ll tone you up without being a heavy duty thing.Your metabolism will increase if you start working out :)Kick all sodas and stay away from juices. It s better to eat an orange then to drink the glass of OJ, for example.

find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 400-600cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day (have lots of veggies to eat in between meals if you are still hungry)8 glasses of water -carry bottle of water with you and when you feel hungry drink it - we often confuse hunger with thirst (our bodies confuse it)have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energyhave protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs musclecardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week (more muscle=faster metabolism)dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.of course you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)use fitday.com for tracking your intake

To dramatically increase your metabolism, switch from vegetable oils to pure, unrefined coconut oil... and take fish oil supplements.Also, new research by a medical doctor has identified several species of parasites and a specific type of goopy plaque that if left in your bowels makes you fat, bloated, developing a pouch and spare-tire belly.This is a primary cause of obesity -- fortunately, this research also reveals how to stop the weight cycle. It further explains that the same cause of why people get fat is also the same reason why people eventually get sick and die prematurely -- often cutting off years from their lives (not to mention the quality of their lives).People who flush these parasites out, often report rapid weight losses up to 100 lbs or more -- and without changing a single thing about their diets. Not that you need to lose anywhere near that amount... but it does prove how well it works.Cheers,Trevor- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Breakthrough medical research discovers the REAL reasonwhy 85% of overweight people can t drop the pounds...http://www.fat-loss-secret.com- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

How to lose weight in short amount of time? -

i am 13 and weight 50-53 kg....i am quite short so i look fat....how can i lose weight over the school holidays?

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, whichwill lead to increase of weight, or muscle growunderneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet withoutexercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. Fordiet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no foodafter 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending onyour initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. Ifyou don t eat wheat then you don t eat all those sticky, fatty goeycakes, you don t eat junk food, and you don t eat biscuits. But yourdiet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have tocalculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is themost efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight alot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to targetyour problem areas for men and women. It s not necessarily to become abodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help youto target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Wal-mart has a drink called The Hollywood Diet for about 15 dollars, it really does work. You can lose about 10 pounds in 2 days. The only problem is you gain the weight back after about a week. But its perfect if you re just trying to lose the weight for a party to fit into that perfect dress or something.

Limit yourself to 1000-1500 calories per day of fruits, veggies and very small amounts of low fat dairy. Also exercise some so that your metabolism doesn t slow down. Eat five 300-calorie meals of above foods spread during the day.No - junk food, soda, empty carbs, fast food. You should lose 2lbs a week, minimum. Sorry - tough, but fads, supplements and chemicals don t work - the weight will come right back on.

you re still 13, i m sure you ll lose some of that weight while you re growing. If you really want to lose weight, you can take a long walk with a friend or take a jog.You should do this in the morning cuz you lose more weight than you do in the afternoon.btw im also 13 i weigh around 49-51 kg

The fasted way to lose weight is exercise and a diet plan. Be on phentramin-d diet pills and you are bound to lose more weight. Check out on http://www.phentramin-d-user-reviews.com/phentramin-d/

At 13 dont fret about youre weigh...really. You have a lot of growing to do., Help it by eating right staying active. Join atteam, ride a bike, dance. Staying in shape is a life-style thing. Get started doing oit right now while you re young.And here:Teen averageshttp://kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/��http://teens.lovetoknow.com/Average_Heig��chart: http://www.disabled-world.com/artman/pub��

Completely quit junk food / fried food and eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Team healthy food with regular exercise and you ll be onto a winner!

take a slow walk or jog everyday and if you want, grab a friend. Also do crunches and pushups

Eat less. Move more.

How to lose weight REALLY FAST, as in March 15th? -

I ve heard it over and over-your husband should love you the way you are. That s fine but I still want to look good for him. I had a baby 4weeks ago, and have been exercising since she was 2weeks old. I ve been taking it easy. I ve lost 33lbs of the 41lbs I gained during pregnancy but I have 8 more to lose and I want to lose as much of the belly flab as I can without having to have a tummy tuck. Any suggestions? And are there any good creams or anything that will reduce stretch marks? I ve been told Maderma for scars...anyone?

Well, firstly, congratulations on losing 33 lbs. of baby weight in 4 weeks! First thing you want to do is calculate your BMR. That is how many calories you burn everyday if you just stayed in bed all day--in other words how many calories your body needs just to function. Once you discover this, you will be able to determine how many calories you will need to burn each day through exercise in order to lose your desired amount of weight. You can do that by going here: http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm I would highly recommend getting a heart rate monitor--I use the polar F4 made specifically for women. It tracks your cardio workout and tells you how many calories you burn during your workout. I would also consider taking a Pilates or yoga class-- they are great workouts for core strength. You definitely do not want to skip out on your strength training because muscle burns way more calories than fat. As far as your diet is concerned, I would try to consume between 1200-1500 calories per day. Anything less would cause your body to go into starvation mode and could lower your BMR by as much as 20%. I recommend cutting out all refined sugars and carbohydrates; basically anything white: sugar, white bread, white rice, etc. If it doesn t say 100% whole grain, don t eat it. Also, try to get healthy fats into your diet--raw nuts, extra virgin olive oil, flaxseed, etc. And, cut out all of the unhealthy fats--such as saturated fats (from animals) and trans fats (partially hydrogenated oils). As far as stretch mark creams, there are few cream products that are going to help much, however, I have heard good things about something called TrilastinSR. I have no personal experience with it, but it has a 60 day money back guarantee, so you can always return it if it doesn t work. Also, there have been quite a few advancements in laser treatments recently. I hope this is helpful to you--and remember to congratulate yourself on the progress you have made and give yourself a break. You just had a baby! Your body has been through a lot, so don t push yourself too hard. Good luck!

The belly flab will go away in time, and not that much time -trust me, I know. If you want to lose the weight just eat half of what you are eating now and exercise like crazy. I can t help you with the stretch marks. I never had them because I manually stretched the skin and used lotion every day when I became pregnant. Doctors don t tell you these things, the idiots!!!

How to lose weight before holiday!? -

I need to tone up and lose weight to get rid of my tubby belly and bum! I m going on holiday in about 9-12 weeks and want to get from 136-140 lb to 112lb. Is this possible. My height is 5 6 is the weight I want to achive enough for a flat tummy? Should I join a gym for a few weeks? Any tips please.

There are many, many, *many* crazy methods people will come up with that claim to help you loose weight, but just remember the first law of thermodynamics: energy in = energy out+stored energy.If you take in more energy (measured in calories) in a day than you expend, your body will store this (as fat) so that you can use it at a later date. If you use more energy than you take in, your body will have to consume internal energy sources (first glycogen, stored in your muscles, then catabolic processes that break down fat and muscle tissue and convert it to energy).The most effective way of burning fat is long, low-intensity exercise. 60-minutes or more of running, cycling, rowing. The best advice I can give you is to find something that you really enjoy doing. I like cycling myself, and so exercise is not a chore but a pleasure and so I do it all the time.More importantly, though, is to do this *regularly*. The amount of fat you burn in a single session won t be enough to make a dent. Regular exercise over weeks and months raises your bodies resting metabolic rate, meaning you will burn more calories even when you aren t exercising.Other than that, the rest is obvious, eat a sensible, low-fat diet. Cut out any refined sugars (sugary drinks etc), refined flour (white bread, white pasta, white rice). Drink lots of water - this is *very* important, drink 2 litres every day in small, regular amounts. Recent studies have also shown that high-calcium diets can reduce the amount of fat that your body absorbs from your food, so stock up on low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese.You ll be looking good in no-time, but what is more is that you will feel great, with loads of energy and a positive outlook.Best of luck with it!

why not just join a gym? and keep going to be toned and slim all year round, im sure Liam would like that ;o)

Join the gym and be disciplined in going to the gym. You re not going to lose any weight by just joining the gym:) Nearly 30lb is a lot to lose in a few months. The right diet and exercise regime will make you look better even if you do not lose all the weight you want.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc��. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc��.YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck! More cleansing info at http://diet4cleansing.com

, if losing some pounds of any description and inches is what you want then I would suggest you use a diet that is all natural and is rich in protein and vitamins, which is what the FDA recommends. I used a protein based diet after a friend who had lost a lot of weight with this recommended it to me. All the way through you feel great and energized, you also get great coaching and support along the way. The people are very friendly and gave me lots of great advice. I needed to lose 40 pounds and I did so with no problems. The products really work and you feel great whilst losing weight. I lost all my weight in less than four months and they have helped me to keep it off. I would definitely recommend using them. My sister did this also and lost 76 pounds in five months (She works out, I don��t). There is no pressure and they will even send you a load of free samples so you can try before you buy. The samples were the thing that initially convinced me that this was the right diet for me. You also a get a free complete health consultation with the samples, I just paid the postage and handling, but for what I got it was well worth it. You just to go to myhealthabc.com to register your details to get the free samples and the free advice etc and then they just call you up and ask you a few questions. It was so easy. Their main site is www.myhealthabcmall.com and you can see all the products and packages and order from their. Its nice to have contact with real people who care about you losing weight and improving your health. I am in better health now than I have ever been thanks to these products and I know that I will continue to keep the weight off with the help I have received. I hope this helps.

i find calories and swimming the best and definbately quickest way goodluck :)

Cut out bread pasta sweets eat more veg walk more smple remedes far more effective than expensive gyms.

Liam,Check out the page below...take the 10-week challenge. It s geared for a 1-pound per week weight loss which is pretty aggressive. If you exercise regularly and watch your calorie-intake you could lose weight a tad faster. Hope that helps! Have fun on holiday!- Mike

How long will it take me to lose 15lbs if I...? -

walk on the treadmill for 90 minutes at 4.3mph with various inclines and burn 500 calories?Im 15125lbs and want to get to 110lbsI eat about 1500-1700cals a dayalso if u have any weight loss tips that would be amazing

You probably don t need to lose weight, but that wasn t your question and I know how you feel (I m 16, 5 2 and 124lbs, with the same weight goal).If you re like me, you aren t really fat, but you know you would look better to lose about ten pounds. Walking to burn calories is good. Running works your abs more and I think it burns body fat better, but if you don t have good running shoes, it can really screw up your knees. Also, sit-ups and crunches aren t that effective. They will give you muscles, true, but all that is pointless if there is still fat covering it up. You have to get rid of fat by changing your diet to healthy foods (the less processed, the better) and moderate exercise. Keep in mind carbs (like bread) are starches and do store themselves as fat when you don t get enough exercise. Still, the Atkins diet is REALLY unhealthy, especially for teenagers.If you can do all that religiously, then you ll be good in about two months I d say. KEEP IN MIND, It is only healthy to lose about 1-3 lbs. a week. If you re losing way more than that, cut back some for health s sake. The last thing you want is people thinking you have an eating disorder, believe you me.

I DO NOT THINK YOU NEED TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT. THAT HEIGHT AND THAT WEIGHT ARE FINE. HOWEVER, YOU SAY YOU EAT ABOUT 1500-1700 CALS A DAY. DO YOU ACTUALLY WRITE EVERY CAL DOWN THAT YOU EAT? DO YOU DRINK SODAS. EACH REGULAR SODA HAS THE EQUIVALENT OF 13 TEASPOONS OF SUGAR IN. DO YOU EAT LOTS OF GREEN VEGGIES AND FRUIT? DO YOU STEER AWAY FROM THE SIMPLE CARBS? I THINK MAYBE YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW MUCH YOU ARE EATING. IF YOU DO AS MUCH TREADMILL AS YOU SAY AND ONLY EAT 1500-1700 A DAY YOU WOULD LOSE WEIGHT.ALSO TREADMILL WORK IS VERY BORING. BETTER TO GET OUTSIDE AND WALK IN THE FRESH AIR. THERE ARE HILLS AROUND THAT YOU CAN WALK AND YOU CAN VARY THE ROUTE AND TAKE IN NATURE AT THE SAME TIME. GOOD LUCK.

uuummm sounds like you dont even need to lose weight!

shoot for a month but 2 months prob.

Drink A LOT of water!!

umm, I would say round bout 4 or 5 weeks
