Why have I not lost any weight? -

I have been working out for almost a month with no results. My routine is as followsMonday,Wednesday, Friday: 30 min. on Eliptical doing the weight loss program interval, resistance of 5 12; then strength training session, legs, arms, abs, back, butt, three sets of each, with a 30 sec. break between. Then ending with crunches 40-50, even 75 once. So far, not a pound lost, I m 21, I weigh 180lbs...and I m starting to think this will not work. I drink nothing but water, and started eating less. :-( I feel better, physically/mentally, but have not dropped any weight. Please help!Tuesday Thursday: 1 hr. eliptical on intervals of 5 12

maybe you are eating the wrong foods. maybe you have elevated cortisol levels

depends on your diet and caloric intake.you might need more cardio, too

most liklely your diet. Eat 3 meals a day, with snacks in between. And work out a little longer to the point where it hurts to even do one more set. If it doesnt burn the next morning it might as well be a day at the gym wasted. DO NOT EAT LESS. Eat in MODERATION.

muscle is vastly more dense then fat. given that fact, stop looking at the scale, if it depresses you. I think we place too much emphasis on weight. Besides weight is a truly horrible indicator of fitness. I think you ve said it already, you feel better physical/mentally. Isn t that a good enough reason alone?? Depending on how much muscle mass you do have, eating less might be a bad thing. You might not be eating enough calories to feed all your muscles, if that is the case then you will never lose weight. I d suggest you go see a dietitian. They can accurate tell you how much calories you need to consume.From my own personal experience, i used to run cross country in high school. I was running 5-8 miles daily, by the end of the season (3+ months) i would tend to gain 5-6 pounds, even tho i was in the best shape of my life.

you have to make sure that you are burning more then what you are eating or intaking. maybe that excercise regiment is just not right for you? maybe you should do more than 30 minutes?

Losing weight is often seen as The only possible good result of diet and exercise this is not true.Even if you re not losing weight, you re converting fat into muscle which will ultimately make you skinnier.Continue doing what you re doing. If you re feeling better physcially and mentally, you could only be on the right track.good luck

Is this a healthy weight loss sandwich? -

2- 40 calories slices of bread...Very low calorie slices..turkey, 30 calories...lettuce, onions, mustard, pickles tomatoes...so about a 130 calorie sandwich... can I eat around 8 of those a day, and a can of tuna with lettuce.. and a 160 calorie protein shake/day, good idea for body building diet?Around 1400 calories of food..

Eat 10 of them, watch the carbs though.

Try eating more variety of foods, for example 3 meals a day with a piece of fruit in between.Work out your calorie needs here, 1400 is too low for most people:http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie��Good luck!

Easy losing weight quot;dietsquot;? -

Okay for starters, I know I m not fat . I do complain about my weight and my family and friends say I m fine. But I am not at all happy with myself, I don t like my body and I m not comfortable with it either. I m not skinny and I just want to lose some weight easily. Since my parents think I m fine, I can t buy any weight loss programs or whatever online and I don t even know what works and doesn t. I would really appreciate it if somebody could share with me what works really well :) And things to avoid. Thankyouu !

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.

People who say diets don t work obviously are dieting incorrectly. Our diet (of food plan) is 80% of the answer/problem. How many calories you need to lose fat effectively is based on your current bodyweight. Which you don t state. It would also help to know your goal weight.edit: so you re close to 120 lbs. At that weight, 1200 calories is a good fat loss amount. But more important than just calories is the content of those calories so break them down like this: 500 from protein/500 from fat/200 from carbs.that will shape you up within 5-6 weeks.

Diets? no need for diets.Eat less at meal times, for example instead of say have 4 fish fingers 2 scoops of mash and some peas just have 1 scoop of mash and 3 fish fingers and peas.going to Mcds instead of getting a big mac meal get a kids meal. kinda cut down on the quantity of what you re eating. As for snacks Id say have an apple or some fruit when youre peckish. and exercise. cardio exercises are best, look on the internet for home cardios. easy to do and saves you going to the gym!

I don t think diets ever worked for losing weight. If you are hungry, you must eat. Food is not your enemy, it s your friend and keeps you alive. If you want to lose weight, the only thing that works is the natural way, that means the way our body is meant to lose weight: by exercise, ideally a combination of muscle building and endurance. Good luck!

Wanting to lose 55 pounds by Christmas? -

Okay so I lose weight pretty fast (i have a high metabolism, but i used to binge eat a LOT to deal with emotional stuff, but now i ve got that under control xD) and i m aiming to lose AT LEAST 55 pounds by Christmas (this would get me to 150 pounds at 5 8 ). I d like to be at least to 170 by my birthday, October 12th.Anyways, this is my weight loss program:Eating:Weight Watchers OnlinePills:Lamictal (for Bipolar)HydroxicutCreatine (pill form, from GNC)Exercise:One hour of cardio a day (either treadmill or elliptical)A few of the 10 minute solution videosSo, will i be able to reach my weight loss goals in time? Thanks :)

Here a link to a fantastic weight loss website; www.sparkpeople.comits free, has lots of info, practical advice and support. I have been a member for about a month now and have lost quite a bit of weight the right way (healthy eating, excerise etc) It really is a fantasic site, and I couldnt have done it alone :) I think the healthy rate of weight loss it a pound a week so while I guess its possible, I m not sure you ll be able to keep it off. But in any case, Good luck to you!

Well, 55 pounds is alot to lose by xmas. You don t want to starve yourself. You need to eat. Find a good cardio workout, that s fun so you stick with it. Practicing Karate has many benefits for your mind body. Check it out. Good luck.

Ignore the other answer..he s a idiot. You ll deffo be able to reach your goal. The fact you ve spent time planning this and have overcome emotional issues is also good a you ve got a good attitude to weight loss. Good luck!

im srry but not gonna happen sista

A hour of cardio a day is not healthy exercise. That s not even exercise. That s considered recreation.The way to get a nice defined look is 80% diet.Develop a workout plan. Develop an eating plan. Don t use any one elses.Hydroxicut is not only a waste of money but contains caffeine. It will dehydrate you body as you workout.Creatine is unhealthy for your muscles.Weight Watchers is a scam. Just by fruit at the market and you ll get your carbs in. Fruits(carbs), vegies(healthy digestion) and lean protein(poultry and fish) is a great source of a healthy body.I used to be on lithium carbonate and than I developed a balanced exercise plan, which balanced out my lifestyle. So I pretty much said, okay, I need to grow up and get done what needs to be done. At first getting angry at myself was my motivation. Now faith is actually my motivation. Weird but..... I don t know much about God but I know he did give people the ability achieve and succeed in life. Everyone has this ability. No matter what religion or even if your atheist. You have the ability to achieve higher than you ever imagined. Don t lose weight to what other people think. Lose weight to your comfort level. When you get there. You physically will be balanced. Once there you ll become more mentally balanced like I became. Social is a different story. People admire strength and there s to many weak people out there. The world is burning right now. Become an example to the youth that will follow you. Exclude bad habits too, like video games or t.v., they will just make you want to eat food for no reason.Get 9 hours of sleep in a night to recover your muscles. Try not to nap.It s all up to you though. I m not you.Say...... jog for 45 min. every other day. If your going to invest your money in anything like you have been doing. I say get a heart rate monitor. Those little things are amazing. I forget how the method goes but I believe, subtract your age from 200 than something something. Not too sure but mine ended up to be 201 cuz I m 19. Than I think you multiply it by some decimal or something. Anyway mine turns out to be 140 - 160 (target heart range) or so. Exceeding it is unhealthy. Bellow it, no point.Try not to be hard on your self while doing it. Do not stress your body.Try not to make it a goal for a certain day by when you want to burn so much fat. It s an unhealthy way of thinking too.I did try hydroxcut not the caffeine one. I hope you don t do that one. But I ended up just realizing that my body already has a metabolism. I just maintain it. I don t cheat.I m considering and trying to develop ways to consume muscle milk and whey protein instead of buying meat and fish. I eat lots of fruits and veggies yum yum. lollI don t smoke. I m a warcraft addict though. Have been since I was 7.It s till a bad habit though.A good habit of mine however is music. I managed to learn how to read piano sheet music and guitar tabs. It s so fun. Wakes up that artistic side of the brain too. The cool thing too about playing music is that all that hard thinking gets me hungry. So I go for a bite to eat right after.Don t eat 2 - 3 hours before bed time.Don t eat a heavy meal 2 hours or more before an intense workout.Drink green tea.Pomegranate juice is a yummy investment. You get so many anti oxidants from it. But I don t have much money so I haven t been able to buy much for a while.Savor the food you eat like I do. Food preparation is an art too.I m thinking of getting that muscle milk stuff because I m going to classes back to back this semester and I downing it s a fast way to get protein in. Taste good too. A lot of calories though. But with my diet it doesn t matter because the fruits and vegies are very low in calories.Calories isn t fat but energy. Your body needs calories. And needs to burn some while exercising.This is most of what I know so far about living a healthy lifestyle. It took me about 20 minutes to type. I just woke up lol.Hope things go well. That s so cool an october b-day. Autumn s the best time of year. At least I think so. A little chilly but no snow or anything. My b day is in july. I m proud to be a leo. But the heat is redic. Anyway happy early birth day.Peace.

Do they make something like nutri-system or jenny craig but...? -

that isn t to lose weight. Do they have something where you can custimize your meals and get them delivered to your door every week/month just because it would be very convinient if I could just have meals delivered to my doors, however like I said, I don t want it to be a weight loss program.Thanks (=

That would be cool though..Why don t you just eat to of the Nutri-system meals...

Weight loss became a permanent drag for me until I used acai berry. I know they say that pills do not work, but they certainly worked for me, and they have been shown on the Rachael Ray Show too. There is a free trial going on right now at http://frurdody.ckuo.net, why not try it , what is the worst that could happen?

yes, type food delivery in your internet browser, there are all kinds of programs out there that deliver custom food to your houseIts very expensive thoughexamplehttp://www.homebistro.com/

It works great!hope i helped

Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wakeup, gulp down a glass of cool water. It��s a wonderful wayto start you day and you only need a lesser quantity ofyour breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets outall your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insidesof your body. You may have your morning cup of tea buthave it after a glass of water. It is good for you.

This is not from experience well it sort of is... But being more active will help work out at the gym for 2 hours or more everyday but cardio everyday, strength and endurance 2 to 3 x s a week, Stretching(the right way) before and after every workout., Doing more eating better will help ya Increase your activity! get at least 1200 calories per day! Watch what you eat!

The basics... first of all NO sweets and fast food. Try to drink lots of water and fresh juices. It s easy and fun to make though! :) Also eat lots of fruits and vegetables (3 vegs. and 2 fruits every day!) Cereals needed.. And don t forget to excersice! As for the real tips...keep surfing and you ll find Lots of them!!

Yes that will def. help. and try this: cut out the cees.chocolatecookiescream and Icecreamchips (hot) potato chips, cornchipscheesecakecandycake.cooldrink. If you want to go further cut out the pees.pizzapiespastriespudding.Even after cutting all this out there is still so much yummy, healthy food to eat.Good luck

Don t eat anything white but fish and chicken! Eat wheat bread,sweet potatoes,and any meat that you want You can have anything you want as long as its not white!

no pop will help you lose tons of weight! now just watch your carb intake

Is there any such thing as fast weight loss tips? Are there things you can do to lose weight fast? It all depends on what you consider to be fast. While it is possible to lose 30 pounds in 30 days, not many weight loss counselors would advise attempting to do so unless the person were under strict supervision by a professional. At least not while on any reasonable self-monitored weight loss program. Yet there are weight loss pills that claim you can lose 17 pounds in only seven days! That s more than two pounds a day, so go figure! With so much conflicting advice on weight loss being thrown about these days, it s hard sometimes to get your head around it all.Yet, common sense tells us that not every method works for every person. Then again, many of the oral weight loss methods, because they rely on synthetic drug concoctions, can also come with unpleasant side effects. One problem with taking so-called miracle diet pill supplements is that they don t really address what needs to be realistically addressed in a solid weight loss program: that is, changing ones lifestyle and the way one eats, making better food choices while working on some sort of exercise program, and paying attention to your body and how it reacts to these changes.A truly good weight loss plan involves helping the person to make healthy lifestyle changes while encouraging them to maintain these changes once they ve been implemented. If these lifestyle changes are not continued after the person has lost the amount of weight they intend to lose, in nine cases out of ten they will just end up gaining it all back. So, a good weight loss program also entails establishing healthy dietary and exercise habits in the individual. Any program that proposes anything less is only fooling those who have bought into it.One of the first areas that needs to be looked into when considering a weight loss regimen is the detoxification of the body. It is of supreme importance to eliminate toxic waste from the system in order to achieve successful, permanent weight loss. It should be kept in mind that the build up of toxic waste in the body may have taken five, ten, fifteen years or more, so its elimination is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is essential for the system to be cleansed so that energy can be freed up to be used in reducing weight.As long as there is toxic waste in the system, much of your available energy will be used to eliminate it. The success of any weight loss program depends on the body s gastrointestinal system being cleansed. Not only will the person have more energy available for the establishment of an exercise program, but that energy will be more efficiently utilized in burning off the excess weight. It should be noted here that the kind of detoxification being proposed involves detoxifying the walls of the intestines of impacted fecal matter in order to facilitate more efficient absorption of nutrients as well as a more efficient bodily elimination system.Once the elimination system is set in order and is no longer holding back the progress of an effective weight loss plan, the weight loss plan can then begin to produce the results needed for effective permanent weight loss.For more information about effective cleansing and weight loss programs that really work see the resource box below. Keep an opened mind, take action and follow through, and good luck

I need a good detox program!? -

Does anyone know of a good detox program that i can use to flush all the toxins out of my body. I have been really unhealthy for quite a while and i feel like crap. I prefer AN ALL NATURAL program. I am going to start a weight loss program and need to detox before i do! Thanks for the help!

There are many herbs that will gently and safely support the organ systems responsible for detoxification in your body (liver, lymph, kidney, skin, colon); it is important to limit your exposure to harsh herbs that purge the bowels as they are typically very cold in nature and can cause a Yin/Yang imbalance in your body. Here is an article on safe detoxification:http://www.agelessherbs.com/bodydetox.ht��

There are many detox programs out there and not all of them are safe. Here are some simple ways to detox your body.1. I know this sounds obvious, but drink plenty of water. Many people are chronically dehydrated.2. Increase your fiber intake. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fiber absorbs toxins in your gut and prevents them from being reabsorbed into your body. Insoluble fiber acts like a broom and sweeps and cleans your colon of waste and improves bowel movements.Try to get between 25-35 grams of total fiber in your diet. 3. Your liver is your body s main organ for detoxification. It is also your body s main fat burning organ so you can see how important your liver is. Help your liver to get rid of toxins and burn fat by: avoiding junk food and processed food, do not overeat at any meal, and eat 5-6 smaller meals (healthy snacks count as meals) every 3-4 hours throughout the day. You can cleanse your liver by eating foods like apples, lemons, and dark leafy vegetables. Hope that helps!

try the juice cleansing programme which is just for 3- 10 days... just have fresh fruit or veg juice before you sleep take a laxative tea. absolutely no liquid if ur craving, just make yourself a nice fresh juice!!! my favorite in the morning is banan/orange fresh juice in between, carrot/lemon/apple juice!! do experiments with your engredients! it s fun! do make sure they re fresh! do it you ll see the result in 10 days!!! good luck!

You must have correct info if you want to lose weight. You can tried way that I lost 23 pounds in 8 weeks. It works very well and It will work for you too. You can find more info at http://bit.ly/dkljbn9

This makes you drop about 10 - 20 lbs. NOTHING but fruits and veggys for 21 days, on the 7th day NOTHING but liquid,v8 s are perfect. Try every night to WALK a mile.

Just eat healthier. Thoose cleansers dont work.

I felt so tired and I had chronic pains in my joints and muscles until a changed to alkaline vs acid diet. Master Cleanse is so useful and easier to follow. It cleansed my body so that my aches and pains almost disappeared in just three days. I used to feel unexplained aches and pains in my muscles and joints. Doctors told me that I did not have arthritis, but I should rest and de-stress to help me cope with my anxiety. I tried to relax and go on vacation, but I still felt the pains and aches in my muscles and joints. It could be stressed related or it could be something else much more sinister, as I found out later. This feeling of chronic fatigue and stress made me sluggish and I did almost all my daily activities with low energy and pain. I also felt constipated and I gained weight more than I wanted too. The weight gain was really the reason that set me off in my quest for wellness and health. Sometimes we really don t want to act on things until we see ourselves getting old and looking old. It s hard to explain, but gaining weight sometimes triggers us to move more than chronic pain. Drink lots of water I tried to drink lots of water because I knew that water is needed more by overweight people. I heard that water helps metabolize fat better and faster. By this time I was looking and researching how to get better. I tried to research Master Cleanse diet and I found out that western diet will usually be much more acidic than needed. This is why people in stressful jobs will have acidic bodies that can cause chronic fatigue and other illnesses. Exercise helps too I also tried to make it a habit to sweat out the toxins in my body. I started jogging and a little bit of stretching almost everyday. It felt good and I felt alive but it was just temporary relief. I learned from doctors about Master Cleanse diet. they told me that this was very effective in balancing out the inner terrain of the body. This process is a natural way to help yourself get rid of the toxins of your body. Master Cleanse diet works. So I tried out Master Cleanse diet and it worked in less than 1 week. In 3 days, my aches and pains were gone and I felt alive, strong, and young. Master Cleanse diet is the ultimate solution to illness.

Does interval training really work? -

I ve heard that interval training melts weight quickly. Does anyone have any first hand experience with this type of cardio? How much did you lose and how quickly did you see results? I ve been on a weight loss program for the last 2 months and have lost 20 pounds. I would like to kick up the weight loss and am interested in possibly trying interval training. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

i m on this challenge...that has us doing cardio for 20 min.every other day and weight training the opposite days and no workouts on sunday. get to eat what you craved during the week...it s a type of interval training

yes, it has been proven that interval training burns more fat and longer after working out. i dont remember exactly how much more but it was more than 15%.

Can you Help me with Healthy Weight Loss? -

If i continue with weight watchers, I get 38 points a day. Thats alot of food and some people have told me to eat the full fat version of things like cheese and milk and such..and I don t like to do that, they don t taste right to me and I don t want to use my points up on junk food because that defeats the purpose.38 points is a lot of food.I ve got PCOS(Insulin resistance) and am on metformin to help with weight loss...but can i have some suggestions from you what would be good to eat to help lose weight...I know if I don t eat enough my body will go into starvation mode and that s not good either.

At my highest weight I was over 400 pounds. I have type 2 diabetes, not PCOS, but at the time I was on meds that helped gain weight rather than help lose. But I did manage to lose over 200 pounds using the glycemic index. It is recommended for diabetics because it keeps your blood sugars stable instead of spikes and dips. However, it s good for anyone because fluctuations in blood sugar will increase your appetite, making it hard to stick to your calorie count. At a higher weight you need a few more calories than someone trying to lose their last 10 pounds but you would do well at 1800-2000 calories a day then reduce that amount when you get down to less than 100 pounds from your goal weight - 1200-1500 per day. (I did fewer calories, that seemed to work for me with my medications - 1500-1800 calories a day to start, which was less than I was supposed to have.)Some simple rules for following a GI diet: - never have a carb by itself. ALWAYS have it with protein. So if you have an apple, have some turkey with it. - avoid white carbs: white bread, white rice, white tortillas, white pasta, white potatoes, sugar. - no juice,that s not a fruit, it s the sugar from fruit concentrated. No soda. - complex carbs only - whole wheat, multi grain, brown rice, etc. - eat smaller meals more frequently. 3 meals plus 2 snacks per day. Don t go more than a few hours without eating. As always with dieting, make veggies a huge part of your day. Of course that means non-starchy veggies - no corn or potatoes unless you are counting them as your carb. Also drink a lot of water - your body needs water to metabolize (burn) fat!Good luck and you can do this even with a medical condition, don t let anyone else tell you that you can t. You have to adjust to what works for you. Try cutting calories if the scale doesn t budge. Don t go by what the books say should work, everyone is different. By the way, exercise is great but diet is 99 percent of weight loss. Exercise makes you healthier in general, but for weight loss diet is king. As you lose weight you will want to become more active, so don t put too much pressure on yourself to start exercising because that can lead to discouragement.

It is very important that you do not continue weight watchers. Nutritional education is the only way. There s nothing nutritionally educational about counting points.You must exercise and eat balanced meals to lose weight and improve your health. Have you learned about the GI (glycemic index)?It measures the effect on blood glucose of carbs in foods. Some cause it to rise rapidly and others help to maintain. Your blood sugar levels must be regulated. Foods with soluable fiber, cooked rice, fat , and the form of sugar in foods (fructose causes less of an increase than sucrose or glucose) are a very important aid. Vegetables,whole fruit and whole grains are good carbs for you. Meal combination works well when protein, fat and carbs are used together. They work better than a meal or snack that consists mainly of carbs to control blood glucose levels and show less insulin release. Email me for more help.
