How to lose weight FAST before college? -

I m not fat, I am normal size (5 8, 130 lbs), I just want to be really thin and fit because I am going to college and I want to lose weight for that (just 5 or 10 lbs). Problem is, its in three weeks. Is that attainable? If so, What can I do to exercise, what kind of things should I eat to look my best in 3 weeks?

Step 1:First of all cut back on sweetened soda and juice... these drinks have a lot of calories and the calories .Step 2:Cut back on breads and rice,carbohydrates. they have a lot of sugar which in turn can turn to fat plus they don t keep you filled as long.... eat foods high in protien and fiber... meats, greens, protien bars... high fiber bread.Step 3:the next key is exercise.. Start a walking club at work.... if you walk during your luncg break even if it is a 20 minute walk that adds up during the end of the week. get a wal in on the weekend or go to the gym a little here and there will make a difference over time . a few minor changes will really make a difference.

Add hot peppersAnything spicy or hot will increase your metabolism and make you burn fat quicker. Imagine for breakfast having some scrambled eggs, some lamb chops, and some rye toast with organic butter. Smother the eggs with some organic hot salsa and you will simply lose weight faster.Eat a huge salad at lunch dinnerI don��t care if your lunch is a cheeseburger, French fries, and a pint of ice cream, add to it a big, huge salad and eat that first. You��ll be amazed that you lose weight. The salad can contain anything you like as long as it is only vegetables and they are organic. The salad dressing should be organic olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice, or organic vinegar. If you really want to speed the weight loss process use organic apple cider vinegar. Add some organic sea salt, fresh ground pepper, or some garlic for taste.

1. Drink water.2. Eat regularly.This means eating 5 times a day and the most important meal is breakfast.3. Eat lots of fibre.Eating adequate fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel. And like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel fuller for longer.4. Carbohydrates can help you lose weight.Don t believe what you read about carbohydrates being bad for you, they can actually help you lose weight!A diet containing good carbohydrates such fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and moderate in fat and calories, will result in weight loss.Good carbohydrates will also help you combat hunger pangs as they are slowly realized into the body.When eating carbohydrates eat them from the earth with no refining or processing.These include whole grains, vegetables; fruits and beans.

Step 1: Cut down on the amount of processed sugars and carbohydrates you eat.Step 2:Consume only small portions of starchy grains and vegetables, such as brown rice, beans, corn, and potatoes. Try to limit yourself to only one small serving of a starch per day.Step 3:Eat one portion of lean protein with every meal, and two portions of veggies.Step 4:Varying your menu will keep you from getting bored. Also, using lots of fresh herbs and good quality spices will make your meals more flavorful without adding fat.Step 5:For exercise, if you haven��t exercised in a while, start with something low impact, like walking. If you can, walk somewhere hilly so that your level of excursion varies. Pair your cardio workouts with strength training. Lifting light weights will increase your muscle mass. More muscle means you will be burning more calories every day, even while at rest.

Any tips on how to lose weight gained from medication? -

I was on some medication that caused me to gain about 40 lbs in the past year. I changed my diet and stopped eating white breads and pastas and cut out all trans fat from my diet and i work out 3 days a week. I can t seem to drop any weight. I just got off the meds. Is there anything I can do to jump start the weight loss? I m only 24 and everyone tells me it shouldn t be hard. What am I doing wrong?

It would have helped to know what the medication was, but since you are not taking it any longer, you should drop the pounds slowly. It maytake you about as long as the time you were on the meds to lose the added weight.Take heart, you should lose it. There is no jump start for this. Sorry. Just keep doing what you are doing. Only weigh yourself once weekly, naked, in the AM to keep track of your weight. Body weight fluctuates from day to day and from morning to night. That is why it should be same time with same clothes (or lack of).You re not doing anything wrong, but you can count on a year to lost the added weight. That is the length of time you were on the med.Please be patient, it will be worth it. Work hard and eat right. You are young.....it will come off quickly. Look at it this way: 40 pounds in 12 months = 3.3#/month. That s less than a pound a week! Surely with you doing what you are doing, it won t take that year to reduce. You ought to be able to average at least 1#/week safely.By the way, cutting the trans fats from your diet is good for your heart. But you need to cut nearly all fats from your diet to lose weight. At your age you could keep eating normally except NO FATS (oils, fried foods of all kinds except those fried with cooking spray, no margarines, no pizzas, chips and snack foods that have more than 15% of their total calories being fat calories, no fast food.....loaded with fats. Fat turns to nothing but fat.....don t need it!!Good luck and God bless. Next Xmas you ll be smashing for the holidays!!!!! Not only that, but keep going hard,and by summer you may be back to normal!I am an RN

How to lose weight when you are on estrogen and you are in menapause? -

How to lose weight when you are on estrogen and are in menapause?

I am there. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.http://www.nutrawatch.com/http://www.caloriesperhour.com/http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_ea��http://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-the-H��http://weightloss.about.com/cs/fitness/a��http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/fe��

It s a great program that I would definately recommend. If you want information on it I will be glad to help you out. I lost 62lbs in the last year and I and my husband are both very excited about it.

HelloHere s what I found out after lots of research and trial and error, the hard way.The reality is that there are no shortcuts or easy ways to get in good shape. Sorry, but someone needed to tell you this.As long as you get conscious about what you are doing, you will see the results. Below you will find the four principles that you need to keep in mind in your weight-loss journey.http://thefatlosssecret.blogspot.com/1.Forget About DietsPeople that go from diet to diet never reach a stable weight, let alone a good shape. The reason is quite simple: diets are, by their very nature, temporary. You can��t expect to eat properly for two or three weeks and fix your weight problems for the rest of the year.2.Proper NutritionIf you want to keep your weight and fat percentage under control, you will need to learn the basics of nutrition. Once you learn them, you will be able to eat healthy throughout the year.3.Physical ExerciseEating healthy and having a caloric deficit will only take you half the way. The other key factor is physical exercise.4.Discipline and PerseveranceYou can start eating healthy and exercising properly, but unless you stick doing it regularly, the results won��t appear (if they do, they won��t last).Discipline and perseverance are key here.Did you know 90% of fat is caused by 3 major factors? Find out exactly whatthey are and how easily it is to solve them here http://thefatlosssecret.blogspot.com/.

How to lose weight as a vegetarian? -

I m a vegetarian who is 17 years old, 5 6.5 and 130 pounds. I m a size 5-7 in juniors. How can I lose some weight or sizes before school starts mid-August? I m already eating around only 1000 calories a day and I m volunteering as a camp counselor with kids, so I have plenty of exercise, but it s not working. Please help? Thanks!

Starving will turn your body into a fat storage machine, you will lose mostly water weight and the lean tissue your body will strip to access nutrition. Your body won t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food available (not just calorically high food, but nutritionally high food)..I would suggest you dramatically increase, well above your needs, food intake with low carb foods. It will take your body awhile to access the fat stores depending how long you ve been in starvation mode, but you shouldn t gain weight, other than water weight and the lean tissue your body has had to strip to access nutrition. If you are young enough and do this, you may be able to repair the damage to your metabolism before it becomes permanent.Metabolism is controlled by nutrition. You can t eat 600/1500/2000 calories of vegetables fruit (pick a number, it doesn t matter - only the amount of fat stored changes), your body will treat it as being starved (which it is, starved of nutrition) and will shut down your metabolism as if you re eating nothing, but will store every possible ounce as fat. Inversely, you wont gain weight on 5000 or more calories of fat protein (if fat is 65% of calories) because insulin (the fat storage hormone) is not activated.High fat, adequate protein and very low carbs will after 3 days convert your body to burning fat as fuel (ketosis). While in ketosis you will burn dietary fat and if dietary fat is more than sufficient, body fat directly. High calories will keep the metabolism at maximum fat burning capabilities.Your body requires fats, you will die without them. Your body requires protein, you will die without them. You will die if you eat protein without fat. You do not require carbohydrates. The body can manufacture all it needs from the protein/fat combination.If you starve yourself by lowering calories lower than are needed for the body to function, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.Once you get near your goal, you start adding 5 carbs every 3 days til you gain weight, then you subtract 10 carbs. That would give you your personal carb level (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) As long as you remain 9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn t gain weight. Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a diet Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Lutz Life without Bread Taubes Good calorie, bad calorie are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.

How to lose weight at school? -

I go to school and we don t have recess or extra-curricular activities. I don t participate in anything outside of school. The lunches they serve are really fattening I have gained like 15lbs. I want to lose 60lbs by June. I want to be able to wear shorts and bathing suits without feeling self conscience.

Let school be just what it is supposed to be and concentrate on the weight thing on time other than school time.

a balance of nutrition is most important if u want to lost weight(without becoming ill when u r slim)make a plan of what to eat and when to do exercise

you only need 30 minutes of exercise a day for the average person i say you should just do that

First of all, i know it may seem like you re missing out but at lunch you need to pick the healthiest choice, i know you ve probably heard it and if your friends are picking what looks the best, it is probably the most fattening. Also, take the extra hallway or the longest route to class. (without being late) other than that, at home do some squats, lunges, curlups, and anything to help the parts you want to tone up. maybe even convince your parents to let you join a gym, and start off going 3 or 4 times a week. hope i helped!

1. make your own lunch2. you can not tell me that you do not have enough time in a day, because if you want it bad enough you can make time for it...so exerciseif your school has stadiums, then run stadiums. swimming is a great workout. just becoming more active will definitely make you lose weight. run.3. no fast food, junk food, drink lots of water. run.4. there is no way to lose 60 pounds by June. it really is impossible to do that unless you do it in an unhealthy way (eating disorder). being a wrestler, i could only drop about 10 pounds in a week and most of that was water. so just run.

How to lose weight healthily for a 13 yr old? -

she is 13 and about 5ft and weighs about 8 stone and is very self concious she has stretch marks on her bum and thighs and would like to lose some weight but healthily any tips? and are there any sites that she could use?

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).

Don t skip breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast can help you eat in moderation at lunch and dinner. A high-fiber, low-fat breakfast may make a major contribution to a total reduced food intake for the day.Losing weight is simply a matter of limiting calories consumed and burning off more calories with exercise and daily activities. To lose weight, it helps to know how many calories you are consuming in a day.Also, eating Negative Calorie Foods is great way to lose weight.Check out http://loseweightsite.net It has an article on Negative Calorie Foods and to monitor your calorie consumption and daily activity, http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov

There are a lot of stumbling blocks out there don t you think?! The sole thing that really showed results for me is green tea, it can be checked out in the resource box below, they have a limited number of free trials remaining, it has been reported in Reader s Digest and CNN. I melted away twenty pounds, it really does produce results!
