Easy question. Please help!?!?!? -

Okay I m 15 and on a weight loss program. I was wondering what are the best and easiest exercise I can do at home? I don t haveany weights or equipment like a treadmill. Like if they re any sites with good step by step demos and whichbexercises will help me burn the most cals? Also, what is a good exercise to help me loss the fat rolls on my sides? Thanks much!?!?!?

Squats are always good for general purpose weight loss/toning. When you first start squatting, it might be smart to start with your back against the wall, slowly slide down the wall, make sure that your knees do NOT pass your toes. Once you get used to that, you can incorporate it in your walks. Once you get used to that, you can even add weights to work on your upper body while walking/squatting. As far as your lovehandles. That s a tough one. You ll inevitably lose a bit of that once you start losing weight consistently, but in order to tone that area, you ll need to work on your obliques. Obliques can be tough to work on, but I ve found that by doing diagonal sit ups, you get a good amount of results. Good luck!

Jogging is a good way to lose fat, and you don t even need to leave the house, maybe jog between 2 rooms or on the spot.Crunches, Push Ups, Sit Ups, Inverted Crunches, Pull Ups and Step Ups are great too, and I m sure you can find many more if you spend about 5 minutes on a search engine, provided you know exactly what you re looking for.Eat carbohydrates and protein too.If you experience cramps, stop and rest until tomorrow, or until you can stretch without hurting yourself.

Hi.If it is nice out side, run, get in ipod/mp3 player in your ear, listen to your favourite music and run around your neighbourhood. If you don t want to go out side, then you can do push ups, run up and down the stairs. You can also do sit ups, and that will get you a nice looking stomach.

Is my daughter overweight? -

hi, my ten year old daughter weight s 40kg (91 pounds) and she is 136cm tall (4 feet 5) is she overweightif she is can you tell me what weight she should be and recommend any weight loss program s for children

no major wieght loss programs, there is still a big chance that this is baby fat, overall change your families diet to be healthier and to eat more fruits and veggies (its not fair for her to just have to be on a diet so the whole family will have to do this one) and make sure she gets regular exercise...my recommendation is that you work out with her and you both set goals to be healthier, with proper diet and exercise the pounds will melt offand trust me, all of this will go easier for her if you join in with her! you have no idea what the difference is when you do this stuff with your kid...

first off she is not overweight i checked her bmi is 22.8 and anything between 18.5-24.9 is healthy, but anyways a few pounds wont killl your daughtter if she loses them so here is what you can do and dont push her soo much go easy on her shes onl 10. second of all ur lucky you are the one that controlls the food in the house just dont buy lots of junk and play with her get her involved in a sport or something it will also help in the future and make her have fun while excercisng wat i do with my bro (he is 9) is have a jumping rope contest we see who does more for ex i do 30 then he tries to beat me and when he does i say i can do more and it goes on but they might not fall for that so wat else you can do is have her play tag with her friends and stuff, they are running while doing that they wont even notice anything different most likely. also the food make healthier choices instead of snacking her on chips, poptarts and choclate, give them popcorn (not the kind with tons or butter) or pretzels, or fruits or fruit snacks theyre good way and healthier, but give her a treat like once every week, and buy-make them a healthier meal make them like fish or chicken and boil it and grill it do not fry with oil it wont help and u get hte point make them like veggies from when they are young and dont stress that much about her she is young and theyll grow out of her weight when she grows a little more but u can help them by doing some of the stuff i suggested if ud like. good luck hope this helped

it can be the baby fat let a couple years pass and then see how much she weights and grows. there are also some sites that lets you see their bmi just google it and it ll tell you if she is underweight nrmal or obese.for now try to feed her healthy lots of veggies and cut the sugar.

make sure you check her BMI rate, this will give a pretty clear idea to see if she is overweight or not, the best would be to visit a registered dietician to see if she needs any corrections in here daily food intake

Children (especially girls) usually go through a cycle where they put on weight and then grow taller. This could be the case.

Not another diet pill: I need to know if this is safe...? -

I want to lose 40 pounds. I ve been trying to stick with a weight loss program but I m always tired. Somedays I eat good and somedays I eat terrible. For the past 2 months I ve been eating crappy food and drinking LOTS of caffine. I just bought a meal plan from a professional fitness trainer (Paul Plakas of X-weighted) and I m starting it Saturday. I don t want to take fat burners, I m not into that, but I m wondering about colon cleansers. I ve read that they give you a little boost. Flush out some of the bad foods you ve been eating so your body can properly aborb nutrients. I m not expecting them to help me lose weight quicker or anything, just make me feel better so I can do my workouts more effectively.So I have a meal plan now. A fitness plan (HIIT 5 times a week for 20 minutes) and weight training 3 times a week. Are those cleansers ANY good at all? For anything? That s all I really wanted to know? I m thinking about giving it a try - again, not for weight loss, just for a boost of energy and to feel better. Thanks. Oh, and if they do actually make you drop a few pounds it would be great to know that too ;)

fibercom or metamucil is a good natural way to get all the goods out. I been using it daily for about 4 months now, its better than pills and alot safer too.

anyway many such programs and diet plans go overboard in their attempt to make people lose fat rapidly. Fad diets or starvation diets are a definite no-no. There are so many harmful effects of starving yourself and not eating properly. And many times, you would not lose body fat with such fad diets, instead you will lose water weight. Similarly , low carb diets, low protein diets etc. that make you eat only a certain kind of food and not others are also not a very good method of weight loss.The fastest way to weight loss is by taking weight loss pills and supplements. Our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life. Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight. Previously everyone tease me because of my egg-shape bodyFinally in 2007 a friend introduce me a new concept of weight loss program that change my life since then.so if you REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT AND FAT then you should remember and do this:Workout (EVERYDAY RUN or FAST WALK) + L-Carnitine + TAKE LESS CALORIES + LIPO-6 = 100% SUCCESS1) if you dint have then buy scales!!! that is the first thing to do!!2) workout or/and run every 2 days for at least ~40 minutes or/and walk every day at least 5 km!3) L-Carnitine!!!L-Carnitine is a nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy. It is produced by the body in the liver and kidneys and stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm. Usually, the body can make all the carnitine it needs. Some people, however, may be deficient in carnitine because their bodies cannot make enough carnitine or transport it into tissues so it can be used. Some other conditions, such as angina or intermittent claudication, can also cause insufficient carnitine in the body, as can some medications.L-Carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It increases the use of fat as an energy source by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are ��burned�� to release energy for body functions. It is available in several different forms including propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. Propionyl-L-carnitine, through its enhancement of metabolism has been proven to prevent ischemia-induced heart dysfunction, and acetyl-L-carnitine has been suggested to delay the progression of Alzheimer��s disease. L-carnitine is found naturally in avocados, breast milk, dairy products, red meats (namely lamb and beef), and tempeh (fermented soybean product). L-carnitine should be taken one hour before you will exercise! (Also you can take L-carnitine with meals or 1 to 1-1/2 hours after meals!) L-Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body s burning of tryglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored in the liver for heavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fat at a rate of 75-80% of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydrates is burned. L-carnitine allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source. FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY 5) you MUST change your diet!! start to use products with less fat, less carbohydrates! start count your calories! do not eat more than ~1500 per day and if you feel that you can reduce this number then do it! because if you will use L-Carnitine - you will get calories from your body fat too!! so better is to eat 2kg fruits then 1 cheeseburger...and drink more and more water!! REMEMBER - NO rice, NO pasta, NO pork, NO mayonnaise, NO sweets, NO candies, NO alcohol!!!!!MORE fruits, vegetables!!!AND DO NOT EAT AFTER ~8:00PM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!6) also you should use some fat-burner! I had tried many of them but only one worked for me as fast as I wanted to! it was Lipo-6! I lost ~80 pounds in 3 months! No starvation!! only Workout (EVERYDAY RUN or FAST WALK) + L-Carnitine + TAKE LESS CALORIES + LIPO-6 = 100% SUCCESSI do not know if any store carry Lipo-6 but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.healthbuy.com/product/overvie��It worked for me and my wife! and this method is working for my friends too!!just try it and I guarantee you 100% that you will lose wight!!!good luck!!!

Is P90X worth it or is it just a scam? -

I need a weight loss program. If I do it myself, I ll just fizzle out of doing it. If I pay $40, I might actually work on my body. But I don t want to pay money for something that won t work like they say it does.

it works 100% if you follow the diet

If you know correct weight loss information you can lose weight. I use the way at this site and I lost 13 pounds in 4 weeks. It is very easy to lose weight. You can get my weight loss way that lost me 18 pounds in 55 days at http://bit.ly/dgnkp8

When people are diagnosed with Type II diabetes...? -

Why is the first reaction of the doctor to put the patient on medication, rather than put them on a weight loss program? Type II diabetes can be reversed with weight loss and proper diet.

I am one of the over weight Type 2 s. I found out in March I was diabetic. Now I was put on meds, and I am still on 2 meds (off insulin), and I was not given a weight loss program BEFORE I was allowed to leave the hospital, but I did have to see a dietitian. The dietitian was very informative and gave me lots of info about diet and carbs. But weight loss was not stressed, EATING proper and eating the right foods to control the blood sugar is what was stressed. And if you are over-weight just changing your eating habits will help you lose weight. So some places do make sure the patient is very aware of diet/food requirements even if they are not over weight. I think every diabetic knows how to count carbs, and good vs. bad foods, and how to eat properly to control their blood sugars.Now if I understand everything I have been learning recently, you can NOT reverse diabetes, only control it.As far as docs putting people on meds as soon as a first reaction. Most of the time there isn t a different choice. Most people don t know that they are diabetic before being tested, and their blood sugars are dangerously high. My blood sugar when I found out I was diabetic was 1400 and my A1C was 13. To save my life they had to put me on meds and insulin immediately. Since I took the being diabetic serious and have been doing everything I am suppose to be doing, I have come off the insulin and am only still taking one medication now. So docs don t leave you on meds if you can control it by eating right.Most people probably associate diabetes with being over-weight due to MOST of our (over-weight people) very poor eating habits and lack of exercise. Now understand that this is NOT the case for ALL over-weight people, just most of us. Some people are really and truly over-weight without it being their fault and there is nothing a person like that can do about it. It s people like myself, that can do something about our weight and elected NOT to, that are at fault for our health problems, whatever they may be, but you can NOT put everyone into that category.

Excuse me!! type 2 diabetes is only associated with overweight the same as Europeans are associated with blue eyes!Medications prevent a lot of the nastier effects of this disease!In my case I was never overweight except in the last months of pregnancy ever!! I weighed 120 and was losing weight very rapidly, couldn t afford to lose any in the first place, when I was diagnosed!! More weight loss wouldn t have helped. I have always eaten correctly.You do YOUR research and learn from your ***-umptionsType 2 diabetes CANNOT always be reversed with weight loss and proper diet.

Same goes for type 1 diabetes. Mine was a result of Agent Orange (dioxin) exposure in Viet Nam. Be careful with those stereotypes! They re hurtful.After reading your extra note it seems like you are dogmatic though.

Diabetes is more common with weight problems, but doesn t mean there is always weight problems. You need to do some research on it.

Ehhh?Because not all people with type 2 diabetes are overweight.So why be put on a weight loss program.

For a healthy weight loss of 2 pounds a week, how often should I visit the gym? -

I have started eating 1500 cals a day as well. I m 24, 5 7 and 168 pounds (12 stone) is 3 times a week doing 90 mins of cardio sufficient or should I break it up and do the same exercise over more days?

You need to be working out atleast 3 times a week for atleast 60 min each time. That is a minimum, anything more is good too. Just no more than 6 days a week. And also dont do just cardio. Do half cardio and half weight training. Cardio with burn a lot of the calories, but so will the weight training as well as fat. Plus you muscles will get toned from the weights. Doing just cardio doesnt do much, you may drop the pounds but in the mirror it will compare nothing to if you add weight training in too. I work out 6 days a week, 30-45 min cardio and 60-90 min weight training. Im 20 5 7 started at 174 and now im 149. All within 2 months.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals. U will also enjoy ur food more than what u have been doing otherwise.Take light exercises and brisk walks for 30 min.regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry. U cannot however choose spots for reduction.This schedule will also be helpful in maintaining good healthy weight.U need not reduce ur weight so fast.
