How to lose weight without feel hungry and sleepy ? -

Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber and your proteins should be lean. Fats should be sparing but concentrated in the omega 3 s and omega 6 s. This will provide a slow but constant stream of vital nutrients. Avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and candy.Lift weights or perform power yoga because either of these will slightly increase your lean mass, which will burn extra calories 24 hours per day. This will increase your resting metabolic rate. Also, some cardio helps.Use a measuring tape instead of a scale to measure your progress because it is more accurate than the scale.Here is a sample workout and a sample meal plan:http://www.spartafit.com/exercise/exerci��http://www.spartafit.com/nutrition/sampl��

Best way to lose weight for teens? -

I have absolutely no endurance at all. I am not overweight but I am getting close to weighing too much for my age. I get winded just playing my clarinet or walking up stairs. I hate running and am really bad at it. I play a sport in the winter so I need to be in shape for that. Any suggestions how to lose weight and tone up. I am 15 years old and I weigh 131 pounds and I am 5 3

Find a sport you enjoy playing that will keep you active all year. A great one is soccer or swimming. I also recommend going hiking on the weekends, visit your local roller or ice skating rink, or go to the ymca for yoga or pilates classes. You don t necessarily need to lose weight, just maintain it and turn fat into muscle. To gain endurance you ll have to start some form of aerobic exercise like fast-paced walking, jogging, tennis, bicycling, swimming, etc..

The best way to loose weight is to eat right and exersize... even if you hate it. I have the same problem but I am making myself run a mile on the track everyday before volleyball practice. Now I just have to eat right.

Does crunches and pushups really help lose weight? -

I see alot of questions on how to lose weight and people sometimes answer, you can do pushups and crunches to lose weight.Dont get me wrong, but dont pushups and crunches help build weight? because all you get are abs and muscles which help build weight. But why are people saying to do pushups and crunches to lose weight? Do they really help lose weight?

Pushups and crunches don t build weight, they build Muscle. They help your body get more toned and defined, which sometimes makes people look slimmer.

I haven t really seen anyone answer that those two moves allows one to loose weight...what they may be referring to in that it is an activity, that in turn will stimulate your metabolism, which will in turn assist in burning fat. Doing any type of exercise or weight lifting, which I do a lot of, will not directly make you loose weight...that s all about your diet. I m a natural competitive body builder and for my last show I dropped 15 lbs in 8 weeks and still ate seven times a day...it s all about what you eat, when you eat it and how it s absorbed by the body...if you pack on a lot of muscle (not easy to do) the muscle tissue is more dense that fat and will weight more for the given amount of size.

You are right. Crunches and Push Ups are training to gain muscles, so you can gain weight if you train right, but it also defines the muscles what means you are losing fat as well. In addition you ll keep your weight if you do that a longer time, but you ll lose fat.

the real point is not to lose weight it is to lose fat so if ur losing fat and gaining muscle it doesnt matter how much u weigh as long as u have a good healthy toned body

you still gotta do some sort of cardio in advance...66% offitness is influenced by your food intake,so eat healthy too

How do i lose weight? -

ok i am kinda big for my age and i wanted to know how to lose weight fast? im tired of the way i am and i want to lose some weight and hopefully before the summer. CAN ANYONE HELP?

Rule of thumb for weight loss: Diet= 70% exercise= 30%Great 7 step plan to follow for LASTING and healthy results (My sources are I ve been a world-class athlete since age 6, read tons about this for years including Gunnar Peterson s book The Workout [he s trainer to A list celebrities] and Tony Robbin s The Body You Deserve and after educating my brother, he lost 45 pounds in 4 months and has kept it off for 1.5 years):1. Awareness of what you eat by keeping a diet journal to see where ure going wrong plus writing down very specific goals w/a time frame on them (be realistic yet firm) and view them on a regular basis. Also- tell someone about your progress toward your goals on a regular basis- this will keep you accountable. I have an excel spreadsheet that lists all my goals and my weekly progress toward them and I share them with my boyfriend each week so we can discuss it. Choose someone encouraging and motivating that wants to see you succeed. Family and best friends are great choices.2. Best cardio is running in terms of weight loss. It is however, very high-impact and can lead to injuries. If you get injured- 2nd best is rowing, 3rd is cycling (both of which are less impact). You should be doing cardio minimum 4 times a week 30min.-1 hr. Weight loss heart rate range is one where you can carry on a conversation w/o a big struggle.3. Resistance program to help firm muscles and give a pretty tone (u can t spot-reduce- weight training results per individual body part will only be visible after the fat layer is off from the cardio). You should do this 2-3 times a week for 30 min-1 hr each time. It s important to have that break in between so your muscles can rest. Remember- each muscle gained= more calories lost on a daily basis b/c this revs up your metabolism! Jessica Biel is a great model for a muscular gorgeous body. Look at a picture of her and visualize your face on her body. The mind s thoughts literally create your reality and destiny. This has been proven over the centuries.4. 3 meals/2snacks per day: high fiber/ high protein helps keep you full and eat low carb unless its good complex carbs like salad and fruit and whole-grains. Bottom line: eat the natural foods our ancestors ate, no processed junk. The best foods for you are filled with FIBER (shoot for 35 gms a day- this will curb cravings like heck!) Anna Kournikova eats a fruit and has a glass of water 30 min before her meals to be fuller and eat less (you should always do this, esp b4 going out to eat where temptations are large). When you eat great, nutrient-packed foods, you dont need to obsess over counting calories- so many better things to occupy your time with, like reading! A clever mind will take you farther in life than a beautiful body :) Bottom line- keep perspective and don t let this consume you to the point of being OCD. Also, no diet sodas- the fake sugars actually make ure body crave more sugary stuff. Stick to tea (coffee makes your body crash and can increase appetite) and water and never bring bad foods into your house. A woman should never go under 1200 cals a day by the way, slightly more for a man...very unhealthy. Breakfast= eat like a king, Lunch= eat like a prince, and Dinner= eat like a pauper. Lastly, take a multivitamin each day...go to Whole Foods and ask them which is a really high-quality one, b/c it s not just taking a MV but the better ones dont cheat you on the grams and your body absorbs the vitamins/minerals best. Ask what is a good daily regimen for your gender, but don t let them oversell you. The most you should need is a multi and maybe fish oils.5. Americans in general want things QUICK and easy, we are impatient- you must be patient in terms of your results and never give up. Additionally, this is a LIFESTYLE change for LIFE: There are NOOO get-thin quick schemes, PERIOD. If u abuse your body u will ruin your metabolism and in the future u will gain weight MUCH easier than today. Diet pills will kill you as quickly as they helped kill Anna Nicole Smith. They are no better than drugs so don t take the cheap lazy way out.6. Weigh yourself once a week, never more often than that but get all measurements- waist circumference, body fat %, muscle %, water % (there are good digital scales that do this) b/c u could be gaining muscle which weighs more than fat or be full of water and be like- why the heck wont i lose weight! and then binge on donuts :) no no no! and reward yourself when you make progress! make it fun or else you ll quit sooner than later.7. Drink min. 2 liters of water per day (more for men) and whenever you re stressed- take DEEP BREATHS rather than reaching for food. Breathe in this ratio: Inhale for 5 counts, hold for 20 counts, exhale for 10 counts. If you do 10 of these 3x/day you ll be releasing toxins, decreasing appetite, your energy and vitality will boom. This is why people lose weight doing yoga which on its own doesnt lose many calories. Oxygen is so so important.You can do it! Good luck, keep a positive attitude, and never give up! :)

i like doing the special K diet, look it up online. Everything takes time, make it a healthy loss for your own good :)

Don t listen to any stupid diets,like only eating grapefruits, or tuna fish, etc. The only way to lose weight PROPERLY is to exercise regularly and eat healthy. For a lot of people this is easier said then done. Pick up a copy of your Food Guide, or go online and look at what you should be eating everyday. Go for walks, or runs. Join some sports. Get ACTIVE. Do not turn to starving yourself as this can effect your metabolism which in turn causes weight gain and is completely unhealthy. So exercise, and cut out the junk food and enjoy a healthy lifestyle! Good luck!

What are some methods to lose weight very fast?

try the baby Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

Here s my best suggestion! The first option is the healthiest and the second one is the fastest:There s two ways you could go and I think either way will work for you. First of all, my best suggestion is to learn to eat healthy. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/eat-��That means understand the food pyramid, the food groups, the recommended servings, etc. That is how you should eat for life! If you eat that way and have 3 small, healthy meals a day and 2 small, healthy snacks, you will lose weight. Each meal should be less than 400 calories and each snack should be about 100-150 calories. Eating highly nutritious foods is the key, so think in terms of lean protein, veggies, whole-grains, fruits, low-fat dairy, and heart-healthy oils.The second option is to do a short-term drastic diet that is designed to last for 2 weeks max. This would take off the most weight rapidly. There are several on the site under Diet Plans but my favorite is the 5-4-3-2-1 diet. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/5-4-��You get to pick what you eat, but you re going to want to pick highly nutritious foods to keep your metabolism working efficiently. Again, the eat healthy page can help you determine what highly nutritious foods are, if you need help with that. If you go on the short-term diet, then once it s over, follow the guidelines on the eat healthy page. Make water your main source of hydration and save the sweet drinks (even diet) for special occasions. Eliminate as much salt and sugar from your diet as you can.The biggest component to fast weight loss is going to be your workout. You will want to make sure you do a good (30 minute minimum) cardio workout every day for weight loss (3 times a week is sufficient to maintain health). Activities that use the large leg muscles burn the most calories. These activities also tone the lower body quite effectively. Think in terms of power walking, jogging, biking, skating, swimming laps, jumping rope, dancing, racquetball, and jumping jacks. To make sure that you re burning fat, you need to be sweating and huffing and puffing. In addition, do some good stretches and some strength training. http://www.easy-weightloss-tips.com/targ��You ll find some really good information on the website, including about five pages of weight loss tips, printable weight loss journal pages, printable exercise log sheets, motivational ideas, healthy recipes, etc.Good luck!

you need to be patient...go for jogs but dont over due it...eat in moderation...but dont skip meals...a better way to do it is eat 6 small meals rather than 3 big 1s with a snack here and there...any other questions email me and ill try to help...good luck

well what i did was drink coffee for breakfast and for lunch and only eat a big dinner later it helped me lose weight in 2 weeks seriously

Eat just vegtables for like 2 weeks straight and you will loose weight fast.And you dont have to starve yourself which is a good thing!

Do exercise and eat healthy. Thats the best and purest method of losing weight.

eat better exercise an hour a day, and do the bicycle a move to tone your abs

moderate carbs and high protein

Do you think part of weight gain is psychological, and if so, how can I help myself lose weight? -

Question Details: My Mom died 9 years ago in August, and I have put on weight since then. I was thin until she died because she would watch me like a hawk, and since she is no longer around to watch me, I eat like there is no tomorrow.I want to figure out how to lose weight without someone looking over my shoulder. I used to hate her nagging, but I needed it, and miss my Mom so much.

One of the problems of losing weight is the brain...The brain is very clever and if it thinks you have lost something it will do its best to find it again for you. In the case of losing weight this is the last thing you want. You don t want the brain to slow your metabolism down so that you find your lost weight. What can you do about this? talk about your weight differently. If you are 20 stone and you want to be lighter, start off by telling yourself that you are 19 stone 12 and have gained 2 pounds (this will eventually get your brain to start trying to get rid of the extra for you) Remember though, if you don t believe it, it wont work (your brain is clever). lets face it, it is true...you do have extra pounds, so y do we start talking about losing weight? we are just getting back to normal weight.As to eating like there is no tomorrow......well that is your choice. If you eat too much you will put on weight. You are bound to miss your mum, and maybe you haven t dealt with all the issues of loss yet and that makes it more difficult,. Maybe you think that if you start watching your own weight it s as though you have forgotton your mum. Only you can answer those sorts of things. You know best about yourself. What about if you wrk out how long you would have to walk for or run or swim or something else to work off that bar of chocolate? maybe that way you could work off the calories BEFORE you eat them. If a bar of chocolate is half hour wal then do the walk before you eat it. (You might not want to eat it and spoil all your hard work that way, so you win both ways)Whatever you do, be happy.

You are welcome! I agree with your husband, I did the same with smoking as well, it really does work. (You do have to believe what you are saying though) Report Abuse

Well to be brutally honest there is a psychological factor, and saying that your mom is all that stopped you from gaining weight is an excuse to avoid accepting that you can t stop your own eating. In which case I recommend you first accept yourself (Seeing a counsellor or psychologist is nothing to be ashamed of if it can help you feel better) and then get comfort in the idea your mother loved you and then work to losing weight by trying to eat smaller balanced meals more regularly and possibly going to see a trainer (certified of course) to help you reach your weight lose goals. And maybe a dietician for help with meal planning and such. Sorry if I came on strong I m just trying to help

I did the same after my mum passed, comfort eating, all the bad things are the tastiest because they are full of salt and sugar and your body get s addicted without you knowing. I m doing weight watchers diet it s the only one that works for me, having a daily points allowance and writing down everything you eat will put it into prespective. If you only have say 20 points for the day and a chocolate biscuit is 2 points you will realise how much you are eating and snacking throughout the day without realising. You can do it online it is cheaper than the meetings, or go once get all the start up books and do it alone. Once you get into it and the weight starts to come off it gives you more confidence. Good luck.

I m really sorry to hear about your mom firstly - I imagine you do miss her very much, and I do agree with you that a lot of issues surrounding weight is psychological. It sounds like you may be comfort eating more than anything. The main thing is that you ve realised you re over-eating, and now you can do something about it. I don t think you need anyone to tell you how to eat. Everyone knows that a healthy balance of excercise and smaller food portions is the best way. Try not to miss out meals either. I m sure you have a good idea of which foods are bad for you and which are good. By eating lots of fruit and veg, it should help improve your moods and outlooks on things too. I ve put on about 2 stone myself over the last couple of years, since I met my future husband! - but that s my thing, I always lose weight with unhappiness, and gain when I feel settled and happy! So I have some weight to lose myself!! Keep your chin up -I m certain things will get easier for you in time.Good luck

Of course it has a psychological aspect, it s not called comfort eating for nothing! We need to want to lose weight for ourselves though, someone else nagging is not going to work, my wife tells me that (and yes, I do need to lose weight!), so I am really trying to diet, although she does help (I m not married long, so obviously I try harder).The point remains though, that we are fat because we eat and drink too much, and until we indulge less, we will stay fat or indeed put more on!If only it were that simple in practice!

I am not sure if this is the kind of thing that you are looking for but this is what has helped me to lose weight. It s a website. This is 100% free. You put in how much you are trying to lose, and by when and it will tell you how many calories you would have to eat per day. It will give you a workout routine if you want one and if you don t it will tell you how many calories you would have to eat without exercise and still lose the weight. Although, keep in mind that exercixe will help it to come off faster. Plus the website offers meal plans too.This is a website that has helped me to lose weight (34 lbs. since Jan. 08). I could have actually lost more but I have been slacking a lot. It allows you to create a blog, keep track of what you ve eaten, and your fitness. Along with some other things.It is kind of set up like myspace if you are familiar with that, but it is only for weight loss. It is www.SparkPeople.com, and if you decide to do it you can tell them I sent you or stop by my page, my name there is Tryin2Lose2

Breezer - I miss my mom every day. She passed away 3 years ago. I left home back in 1974 and have never lived with my family since..... But I was always a mamma s boy. Anyways, back to the weight situation..... Now that we are on our own we are the ones that need to take control. I say smaller portions.... and snack, if you must, with fruit, raw veggies and water. But, it s the smaller portions that you ll have to get used to. You ll see that after not long you ll get used to it.

Sorry about mum...yes,weight gain is an emotional stuff...to lose fat is the same for all- good combination of cardio toning exercises added with a portion controlled diet...
