How to lose weight about 20-25 pounds and keep maintaining the body tone? -

I ve read a lot about losing weight and it says no carbs, no rice, pasta or bread.How come asian people eating a lot of rice as their main dish and they keep skiny and healthy although no exercise at all?

I m not going to tell you to diet because that s ridiculous. But as for exercise, that s needed for your body to stay healthy. Trust me. So read this, please. I m not trying to offend you but this is just a suggestion to live a happy and healthy lifestyle.First of all, I really hope that throughout this process you re considering your health before your image. It s really not healthy to starve yourself by just drinking slim fast and protein shakes. This is a healthier version of weight loss that your body will thank you for!Exercise:A. Go to your local gym. I personally love going to the YMCA and taking classes such as Spin, Boot Camp, and Xtreme Pump. They are an hour long each and REALLY help you to get fit!B. *If you can t afford a membership or just don t have the time, you could wake up early in the mornings or go out in the evenings for a nice run around your neighborhood. Bring an iPod or MP3 with you to pump yourself with fast-paced and easy going music. *You can also set a goal for yourself to do 100 sit ups, push ups, and stretches every morning and night, and before you take your run. It helps to build muscle and tone the areas that running doesn t focus on.Food: (THIS IS NOT A DIET)First and foremost, please DO NOT go on any crazy, unhealthy, starving diets. Still eat 3 meals a day with a snack between each. (and all of this is from my experience)*For breakfast, have a healthy cereal with a piece of fruit and a bagel. Drink orange juice and/or coffee with it. *Lunch, a plate of spagetti with low-fat garlic bread and a glass of milk. (BTW, if you drink 3 glasses of low fat milk a day, it helps to make your bones strong and make you leaner :D) Have some broccoli or another small portion of veggies on the side.*Dinner, similar to lunch: your basic entree, a portion of veggies, some milk and/or waterSnacks can include healthy yogurts, fruits, and wheat thins. Drink water throughout the day, too. It helps to flush out your system and keep you hydrated throughout your exercises.It sounds like a difficult routine to get used to, but it s so easy once you get started. I do the exact same routine and I am now 115 lbs and VERY healthy and energetic! Working out will be difficult at first, but once your body gets used to using so much energy, it will crave it!And as far as eating before you exercise, you can do either*have a snack before*or have a full meal, then wait an hour before exercisingand ALWAYS eat after exercising, and drink water!I hope I have helped you and GOOD LUCK!PS- as for results, you will begin to FEEL them before you notice them! if you exercise for 30 mintues to an hour 4-6 days a week, you can lose up to 3 lbs that week. It s healthy to only lose small amounts of weight at a time, like 2-3 lbs a week.Results on the scale are also different from your health. When you start exercising you will start to gain muscle, so it will seem like you re not losing weight when you step on the scale, but you will notice by your size.

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Drink green tea, will help increase metabolism. Stay away from sugars and starches. Excercise at least 30 minutes a day. Count your calories, very important, go to the following site to help lose weight by eating right: http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nu��

You HAVE to eat carbs, just don t eat too much of them.Yould aim for 5 - 6 meals a day consisting of 350 - 450 calories each, and that should boost your metabolism.Cardio 30 minutes a day And resistance training is essential.The more LBM you have the more muscle you will burn whilst sitting doing nothing.

i m asian and i stayed thin but i was being abused and force-fed by some relatives and i gained weight so i guess im not really lucky there. there was a lot that contributed to my weight gain but mostly it was because of that. u no wut i mean? im not fat but i just gained some weight and yeah.

How do you know they don t exercise? You must exercise to maintain body tone. Try some brisk walking to start with. The key to being healthy a good weight is to eat natural foods like whole grains, brown rice, ww pasta, lots of veggies fruits (no fruit juice), nuts, lots of fresh water. Good luck.

i 3jesus, that is very sad and i am glad u survived. we were both lucky that we were born thin with skinny traits but i know someone who also was forced to gain some weight. luckily he also resisted and didnt gain too much weight. i hope you do well.as for the creator of this topic, i guess its all genetics and diet...

I DID IT THE EASY WAY I USED HERBALIFE. THIS GREAT THING ABOUT IT IS YOU USE THE NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AND JUST BY ALTERING HOW MUCH YOU USE IT IS ALSO WHAT YOU USE TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTHY WEIGHT. MY REPRESENTATIVES EMAIL IS BRETT.BROCK22@YAHOO.COM YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A TRY HE S GREAT!

You can try Calorie Shifting, which works by getting you to eat the right food at specific times of the day. Then by rotating it so that your metabolism never gets used to any routine.All the best!!!

Weight Loss Tips?? -

I am 14 and weigh roughly 117-188 lbs.I don t think I am like, fat but I would like to lose about 7 or 8 lbs.Any advice??And what is your advice on fighting off food cravings??

I think you mean 117-118 lbs, right? That s not really overweight at all - I would suggest you just eat lots of good carbs (like veggies, fruit and whole grains) and cut down on the simple sugars as much as possible. Do not cut fat right out but try to stay away from animal fat (saturated fat) and trans fat (hydrogenized fats). Just eat healthy and don t diet! - you won t feel that hungry eating lots of good carbs because there is more bulk and you feel fuller than you do when you don t eat enough fibre.

How to lose weight on your thighs? -

With out making them muscular.

Cardio is the only way to reduce fat - you can spot-tone muscle, but you can not spot-reduce fat. Avoid exercises that really work your legs - like running, using a stepper, or biking with high resistance. Use an elliptical trainer or bike with low resistance, higher speed.

run up and down the stairs a few times

Walking is good for keeping the legs tone with not so much impact as running, which will increase muscle size. Also stretch everyday for 15 or more minutes. Try Pilate s to...these help elongate the muscles making them appear thinner and still look good.

liquid diet.any liquid. No special shakes or anything. Just liquids. And that includes soup. That doesn t mean you can stick doughnuts in the blender. Anything that was a liquid when purchased at the store. I lost 10lbs. in 2 weeks!

go walking 2-4 miles a day that should do it.

Thats cellulite. If you are drinking coffee.. stop drinking coffee and see this. Let me know if you need this product. It comes with a 100% product guarantee..Turn some heads with smoother-looking skin in just one month! This invigorating toning gel uses a blend of caffeine and natural botanicals such as ginkgo biloba, green tea, horse chestnut, and seaweed to reduce the appearance of cellulite-affected skin, in under 30 days!

oh my god I have tried all thse thing and as a last result there is only one thing that i can think of now LIPOSUCTION and if that fails prob have my legs cut off lol,

ha ha ha. thats is what I say too. ha ha ha

You can ran and not eat jake all day

I know this amazing exercise for that! Okay, get on your hands and knees. Lift up on to your toes, lift your left leg off the floor and draw it into your chest, then push out slowly. And bring it back in. Do this twenty times, then change legs. You should see a difference in about two-three weeks. Hope it works!

TVAddict s exercise should get you into shape, but what shape? As the gal said I m in shape - round is a shape .

cardio cardio cardio. you have to lose the weight all over you can t target burn fat.

Exercise on the treadmill with the setting set as if you are walking uphill for between 20-40 mins. Did it for me 4times a week at gym over 6 months.

What are some good weight loss tips? -

summer is almost here and that means looking our best... what are some things that you guys do to keep looking trim?

The formula for losing weight is simple - eat less and move more - the issues appear when we in reality try to put that into operation! There are loads of temptations in the big wide world don t you think?! The one method that clearly worked for me is green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box underneath, they have a small number of free trials in stock, it was highlighted in Fox News and USA Today. I worked off thrity pounds, it clearly does work!

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

How to lose weight on legs and backside? -

Just put on a bit of weight lately and wondering what the best way to lose weight on legs and backside are?Thanks :)

control your diet and exercise.horse riding is a killer on the thighs and bum, but bike riding would be good.running and jogging is good obviously but jogging for a long distance burns more fat that running for a short distance. when you exercise in a way where you cannot speak when you re doing it (ie running as it tires you out) burns all your carbs before it burns fat whereas exercise where you can speak (jogging or bike riding) burns all your fat first.swimming is always good also but it concentrates more on your entire body than you thighs etclunges are also good for the leg and other stretches like taking two steps at a time when you go up the stairs:)i think trampolining is good as well, so basically exercises which wear out your legs and not your arms.

having a fitter body is always a lifestyle change. there are just no quick fixes, unless you have a lot of money and go for some sort of beriatric surgery.best way to loose weight is still exercise and diet.exercise means going to the gym and train with a trainer. that means at least an hour of cardio like the treadmill, then another hour for abs exercises, and another hour for weight training. do this at least 3 times a week.dieting means eating the right kind and amount of food. try this: breafast: whey protein drink and salad separately of course - no mayo or egg based salad dressing, only vinegar/ lemonjuice/ balsamic vinegar with olive oil dressing only.lunch: just eat boiled or broiled chicken breast (no skin) in tomato sauce with brown rice; limit the brown rice, unless you are gonna work out heavy.dinner: should be light - boiled chicken breast or broiled fish fillet - no fat.drink only water, no juices or colas.if you want to diet drastically, try eating apples 3 times a day for a week - that will lower your weight, cholesterol levels and tryglicerides.

you could try leg ups (where you pull your knees up as high as you can with out straightening your legs) good luck!!!

running. lots of running.

when you find the answer let me know

playing basketball or running or u can swim a lot

How to lose weight as fast as possible on your butt? -

Is there any simple diet or easy exercise to follow? I d like to lose at least a couple pounds before the end of June. Plz help!

Fat goes on your body in sheets, so sadly, it comes off the same way. There s no such thing as spot reduction.With that said, it s very possible for you to lose a couple of pounds by this time next week, let alone next month.You should eat five (women) to six (men) small meals a day, restricting calories no more than 20% below your TDEE (Figure it out using the Katch-McArdle formula for BMR using your lean body mass, adding in the exercise multiplier, and then taking 20% from that number.)Restrict carb intake to fiber and non-processed carbs (fruits/veges). Do your best to eliminate simple sugars from your diet (not including fruit. You need fruit. I mean don t eat high fructose corn syrup and refined/enriched flours and processed sugars).Eat plenty of lean protein.Get your fat from good fats, like those found in cold-water fish, olive oil, flax seed oil, ground flax seed, etc...Get plenty of cardio. Work up to 45-60 minutes a day, and up to six days a week.Hit the weights. The problem with just losing weight is, most people will also lose muscle. As muscle is metabolically active, you actually want to gain more or at the least maintain what muscle you have. Don t worry, as a former professional bodybuilder, I can honestly say that you won t get big unless you specifically lift to do so. Honestly, I have the genetics for it, and I have to work hard to add an ounce of muscle. There is almost a 99% chance that you will have a harder time than me to get big and bulky. That s not to say that you can t get really ripped and look big when you re not, but that will only happen if you get to less than 10% body fat, which is also highly unlikely.So, before I got sidetracked, you should do three days of resistance exercise each week. This will also help you to lose more fat as your metabolism will see greater increases after resistance exercise than you see with cardio. You ll burn more fat in the long run.Last, you should try not to lose more than two pounds a week (first couple of weeks don t count, though, as your body will be adapting to the changes you re making). You can easily lose more than two pounds per week, but studies have consistently shown that whenever someone loses more than two pounds per week, they are losing both fat and lean body mass. While this looks good on the scale, as I pointed out earlier, the loss of muscle will make it harder to lose more weight in the future, as well as making it more difficult to keep the weight you ve already lost off... Nasty, huh?To help you out, here s what my wife and I have eaten, so far today:Breakfast: Oatmeal made with 1% milk, added whey protein and ground flax seedMid-morning meal: Oatmeal with some strawberriesLunch: Salad with skinless grilled chicken, Udo s Choice oil/balsamic vinegar dressing (sorry, that s not a commercial, but Udo s Choice oil is great for getting EFAs) and half of a sweet potatoMid-afternoon: Fruit and yogurt (watch the HFCS) shake with added whey protein and ground flax seedDinner will be more grilled chicken (I grilled three day s worth of chicken on Sunday) with a baked sweet potato and strawberries for dessert.I ll skip the strawberries with dinner and will have them as a smoothie with whey protein and yogurt for my dessert meal a few hours after dinner.Spices are fine as long as they don t have MSG in them. If your chicken is a little bland, try marinades. You should avoid brines, though, since salt makes you retain water (I absolutely love brined chicken and turkey, though! YUM!)Also, alcohol will completely stop your body from burning fat. Sugar alcohols will also interfere with the body s burning fat, which is partially why all the sweet Atkins Diet bars never worked, or if they did, didn t work very well for most people. That and ketosis isn t really a good process to keep your body in for long periods. I never let my personal training customers go into ketosis and I only let them go low carb for three days or less. You should make sure that your macro nutrient (carb/protein/fat) intake stays close to the RDA, but not all carbs/fats/protein were created equal. Stick with lean protein, whole foods (fruits and veges) for carbs (you really need to limit process carbs like flour and HFCS. I can t stress this enough!), and EFAs for fats (omega-3 s and 6 s from seed oils, ground flax seed, olive oil, cold water fish, etc).Still, while this is just the basics, this is enough for your personal success. Do the work and you ll see amazing results.Good Luck!Edit: I forgot to add, if you hit a plateau, eat your TDEE plus 20% for a week and then drop back down the following week. You ll be amazed!
