Which will help you lose weight faster: weight lifting or running? -

The fastest results will come from doing a combination of both cardio-vascular work (running or similar) and weight training.Weight training 3x per week and Cardio 3x per week. If you are a novice to both then start small in terms of time and weight and build it up.Be careful when you say lose weight pure cardio activities like running will result in loss of fat and muscle both. You will lose weight, but the loss of muscle will have a negative effect. Weight training helps to build muscle, which is tighter and more attractive than fat.The weight training needs to be intense. Don t be a bench flower at the gym. Too many people spend 80% of their workout just sitting or talking. If you want results, get in there, work hard and ignore the distractions. By the way, you don t need to bulk up to be effective. Lean and strong can be achieved quite easily over time without looking lumpy!Good LuckSteve

Running will definitely help you lose weight faster. Is is cardio-type exercise, which helps you burn fat faster. However, you still need to do a little weight training to help tone your body.While running is good, walking will burn about the same amount of calories, but you will have to do it a little longer. A good plan is to work up to walking somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes a day. It doesn t have to be all at the same time though.

I really hate cardio. Specifically, I hate running. I love weight lifting. It has help me lose 30 pounds. Once you know the right exercises, it s smooth sailing. You can do it while watching TV or just listen to music. The basic moves are effective, nothing complicated. You get to rest in between sets. For running, all you can think about is when it s going to end...unless you love running. You re going to get stronger with weight-lifting. Trust me, you ll love it. Results are guaranteed if you do it right.

Running without any doubt...It would help you burn 700 calories / hour when u run..Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories, protien and carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 calories.. FYI:walking at 3miles per hour helps u to burn 280 calories/hour....Sleeping 55 calories/hour.eating 85/hourstanding 100/hoursitting 85/hour

hirunning will help you loose weight.this is possible on ONE condition.You have to run regularly.If you do leave it in between then it may be harmful,firget being of any use.........!

weight lifting and high intensity interval trainingrunning is too simple and long duration - turns ur body catabolic

Running will help you lose weight faster

How to lose weight fast? -

well im 13 and im not fat just wanna lose some weight,but i am so active i play soooooo many sports and i have my whole life i eat healthy and i dont eat a lot for like 3 weeks i wasnt eating but thats cause i was mad at some kid but thats bad so i stopped,what should i do,i lost 5 lbs during those few weeks and im not really losing help!!!!!!!!!

The reason you are not losing weight now is that your body is finally adjusting to normal after not eating much. The truth is that if you don t eat anything for a long time, at first you will lose weight, but then after you eat only a plate of food, you will gain like 3 pounds and rapidly gain weight. Eat a balanced diet with limited red meats and lots of fruit and vegetables for about 4 weeks. Did you know that no matter how many apples you eat, you can t gain an ounce of fat? Same goes for all fruits and vegetables, no lie. Just make sure you get some meat in your meals too. Fish is excelent and the omega 3 in it makes your hair and skin glow. Good luck, I know you can do it! :))

Because your only 13 and your so active and still not losing weight, my guess is that the weight that is still there is what we call baby fat the only time thats going to go away is when you go through your growth spurt. I lost mine when I was 15...I got tall and thinned out. Not eating will actually cause you to gain weight. When you do eat, your body starts to store everything because it is afraid it wont get anymore food. The best way to lose weight is to eat 3 meals a day and a healthy snack in between. Make sure you eat really healthy and drink lots of water. You said you excerise so thats great, just keep it up!

drink a lot of water green tea!

Good luck!Here is my chart:Day Weight Calories Used Your Calorie Deficit 02/25/2009 131.02 1829.81 1029.81 03/04/2009 128.97 1817.02 1017.02 03/11/2009 126.95 1804.39 1004.39 03/18/2009 124.95 1791.91 991.91 03/25/2009 122.98 1779.59 979.59 04/01/2009 121.03 1767.42 967.42 04/08/2009 119.11 1755.41 955.41 04/15/2009 117.21 1743.54 943.54 04/22/2009 115.33 1731.82 931.82 04/29/2009 113.48 1720.25 920.25 05/06/2009 111.65 1708.82 908.82

Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per dayFruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low.Do not Skip MealsEating small frequent meals help to balance your calorie intake throughout the day and also keeps your blood sugar level balanced. Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 - 6 smaller meals throughout the day.Go for wholesome fresh foodsIf possible, purchase fresh foods and avoid package (processed) and convenient foods such as fast food. Packaged and convenient foods are often higher in sodium and fat content. Refer to this for more information !!!!!

The word overweight spells out varying things to varying individuals. It s a good idea to set off at the beginning, and determine if you are really overweight for your size or not, by computing your BMI (Body Mass Index). To be honest, the one method that really showed results for me is wu-yi tea, it can be viewed in the resource box below, they have a handful of free trials left, it has been featured in Reader s Digest and CNN. I melted away twenty five pounds, it really does work!

The best way in my opinion is to, eat healthy, regulate your calorie intake and focus on cardio training such as, running, cycling, swimming etc.... basically anything that raises your heart rate. It may seem like hard work at first but after a few weeks it will get easier and you should start to loose some pounds.

ever wonder why theres SO MANY different diet plans? its because none of them work. its too hard to resist the food you love so much, basically eat smaller meals and exercise. this is seriously the only way. my sister used to be 13 and a half stone (she was 14) and she stopped eating so much and had smaller meals and went out with her friends everyday and walked everywhere instead of getting a lift off our parents. simply exercise! its more effective and the weight drops off you! its quicker so you see the difference quicker and makes you want to loose more so you exercise more. good luck(:

Here are the five steps that I use and worked after all 3 of my babies to lose between 30-50lbs.1. Water...100oz at least2. Portion control (skip the seconds and eat 5 small meals a day instead)3. Diet soda if you are going to drink it.4. NO FAST FOOD (Subway if you have to)5. Walking everydayHope this helps!! I just had my fourth baby and now I am starting again.

How can i lose weight fast? -

i am going to a party and i need to fit into my prom dress but i have gained a bit of weight since prom and i do not want to waste money on buying a new dress how can i lose weight fast without starving myself

Try the lil Jack work out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr�� It works wonders

A bit of exercise will help.Is tone you up and sucks you in, changing your shape.Also, dont eat after 7 at night. if you have to make it fruit.Sometime you hunger craving can be stopped by drinking water, as the body can not determine wether or not its hungry or dehydrated.Crack on, good luck!

How fast are you talking? You shouldnt crash diet the weight will all come back in after and even more! Id advise you to do a detox diet a few days before the party. Just drink loads, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and not many carbs. Just for a few days..

No processed foods. A lot of fruits and veggies. Only fish and poultry. Red meats are hard to digest. You need to go #2 at least twice a day. A multivitamin everyday increases your metabolism. Yoga in the morning and running in the afternoon. Tae-bo is great too. Good luck!

You are never going to lose all that much weight fast anyway, and rapid loss does not immediately change your shape. Accept that it is a gradual process and go for the ONLY successful method, diet+exercise.

Cut down on the rubbish, exercise and drink plenty of water.

Let me introduce to two fingers and do u know were to put them down ur throat

eat half of what you re eating

Determine your daily calorie intake . Losing weight is simply a matter of expending more calories than you take in, through exercise and your daily activities. To win the battle, it helps to know how many calories you are consuming in a day.* Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and write down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal. There are also great websites that you can use to keep track of calories, get recipes, and help achieve your goal. Don t forget to include the pats of butter or the spoonful of sugar in your coffee. It s best to do this for at least a couple weekdays and a weekend; it s even better if you can go a full week.* Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each thing you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the recommended serving size is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don t have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don t have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you re taking in. There is an idea that multiplying your own weight by ten will produce a rough estimate of the number of calories you need to eat per day to maintain your weight. This is NOT true, you may wind up grossly under (or perhaps over) estimating the number of calories you should be eating. Use a scientific or health website to determine the number of calories you should eat a day or consult your doctor. Everyone has different metabolisms and there is no blanket rule that covers everyone s recommended calorie intake. Reducing 500 calories per day from the calories you eat to maintain your weight can help you lose a pound of fat per week.Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Cutting calories is usually a lot easier than you might think. For example, that daily tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Other easy cuts include salad dressing (salad dressing is the number one source of fat in the average American woman s diet) soda pop, candy, and butter. Look at the nutritional information for the foods you eat, pay special attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calories (high-sugar foods). You don t need to cut these things out entirely, but if you reduce your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you ll lose weight faster.Seek out alternatives to the unhealthy foods you ve identified. You can simply reduce the amount of soda you drink or mayonnaise you put on your sandwiches, or you can substitute healthier choices. Drink water instead of soda, for example, or use mustard instead of mayo. Low-fat and low-calorie options are also available for most foods, and many of these are natural, (although some are made with strange chemicals), and tasty. Start trying to eat healthy in most meals:* Choose lean meats. Chicken and fish are both very low in fat (and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent source of antioxidants, which are also beneficial to your health), so aim to replace some or all of the beef or pork in your diet with these foods.* Replace high-calorie side dishes with healthier alternatives. Many people get a ton of calories from side dishes such as macaroni and cheese, French fries, or potato salad. You can eat healthier and lose weight by replacing these with fresh vegetables and salads. Pre-made salads are practically effortless, and when accompanied by a reduced-calorie dressing or no dressing at all, they re weight-loss gold.* Start your days off right. A fattening breakfast of bacon and eggs or a pastry can be replaced with yogurt, oatmeal, high-fiber, low-sugar cereals; or fresh fruit for fruit smoothies. However, for those on a low carb diet bacon and eggs are a great combo for breakfast, since neither have carbs. But don t fall into the trap of skipping breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast increases your rest metabolic rate earlier in the day, and reduces snacking before lunch.Plan your meals. Look for healthy, delicious meals online or in your cookbooks, and create a menu for the week. Make sure that your meal plan reduces your total calorie intake: you re not going to lose weight if you consume the same amount of calories by eating different foods. Make a list of what you ll need for these meals, and -- except for a few snacks, of course -- don t stray from your list when you get to the market. Planning your meals helps ensure you get a balanced diet and reduces the temptation to stop off for fast food or order a pizza. Remember, it s easier to stick to your shopping list if you shop when you aren t hungry.Watch your portion sizes. Opening a bag of rice cakes and eating all of th
