How many calories a day? -

I am 5 5 and weigh 137 pounds. I m a 25 year old woman and am not currently pregnant or breast feeding. I have no known health conditions that would cause me to gain or lose weight quickly. I would like to weigh 120 pounds. I am not currently exercising though I m signing up for kung fu lessons this week (yay!). Would a 2000 calorie a day diet be enough to lose weight safely? How many more calories a day will I have to eat but still lose weight if I take (for example) a 1 hour lesson per week? What about exercising 3 times a week for 20 minutes at a time on top of that lesson?I have no interest in fad diets or special weight loss programs. I eat healthy foods, I just eat too much! I have a hard time judging portions, but I m learning. I also don t want to be a half-starved waif. I want to lose weight and get in shape for my health, not for my looks! My student lifestyle isn t the most healthy and active way to live. ;)

multiply your weight by 11 and thats how many calories you should consume at most everyday. this helps you lose weight and maintain it

check this webhttp://www.setyoureyeson.blogspot.comyou can enjoy the free journal will help you see what , quantities and qualities you eat and has great links

This is a tough one to give you an exact answer on. Each person burns calories at a different pace.Each pound is 3500 calories. If you are maintaining at 137, then you need to add exercise or reduce food intake to match your weight loss rate. A pound a week is a decent clip, too fast for some.The key is to moderate your diet. Continue eating what you like but less of it. Otherwise you will rebound back.If you get real hardcore use a program like the one at this link. I used it to monitor my food and calculate weight loss.http://www.calorieking.com/shop/75-Calor��

Ok, first a 2000 calorie diet is the supposed daily intake for a woman in general, so if you want to lose weight, you gotta eat less than that. You need a deficeit, so you should aim for about 1500 or so. This is a great webiste and you can enter in different activities and figure out how many calories you are burning from your kung fu and whatever else you are doing. This site really helped me. http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.html. just navigate the site.

http://www.caloriecontrol.org/calcalcs.h��This calorie calculator has you at just over 2000 calories to MAINTAIN your weight. I d cut it by 500 or so a day....1500 calories is a good number if you re trying to lose.... don t go below 1200 though. It takes 3500 calories to lose a lb. of weight. In my opinion 2000 calories is kind of high if you re trying to LOSE--even with exersize. I try to stay 1200-1500 when I ve gained a few extra lbs. You ll lose between 1-2 lbs. a week this way which is a healthy rate. Figure on 5 lbs. a month :)Good luck!

hey well recomended is 2000 calories a day but if you want to lose wieght and take in consideration your excersice well you should take in around 1500 calories a day and no more dont eat after 8 pm cuz then you will feel all bloated in the morning and when you have cravings reach for an apple or some kind of fruit but if you have the muchies wait till your cravings are gone, cravings only last for 15 minutes and sometimes when your tum tum is growling its not always asking for food it could also ask for liquids and its better cuz then you can pee it out later oh and i know it sounds weird but drink teas after you drink they help bring the food down and they help you digest better.

I d go 1900 cals.

it sounds like u know how to make yourself healthy the best way listen to yourself ur ideas sound perfect

Try protein shakes and excersise. Or look up diets on yahoo! search and see if you can anything from there.

Between 1000-1500 calories per day. I use to be 135 and it took my 3 wks to get down to 127. I went hiking every day and gave up meat. GOOD LUCK. I went back to meat and gain 3 pounds.

Is this a healthy weight loss? -

Well after failing many times on a diet. I decided to eat 1800 calories a day which is my maintainance weight calorie goal according to livestrong. And to exercise and burn some calories to still loose weight. Do you think I will actually loose weight with a 1800 calorie goal. Like it might work since I like to eat and get these urges or something to eat and blow off my diet. I m 14 5 3 and 107 pounds. Any tips to keep me from eating. And any foods that will be keep me full the whole day.

Hi,In 2005 i was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and I m very overweight (250 pounds). The doctor said I should think about losing some weight and start to exercise. I ve had three back surgeries since 2001, I used to be a size five. But then I blew up to an astonishing size 22. I ve tried throwing up my food but that I could never succeed at it even though Ive tried a thousand times. I ve try marking down everything I eat, took weight loss pills and exercising to burn the extra fat. You name it, i ve tried it.Finally, in April 2008 my best friend introduce me a new technique of weight loss program. At first i was a bit skeptical since i ve been ripped off a few times. But after joining the program, I ve lost 30 pounds in the first month and currently my weight is 120 pounds. The truth is 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. The knowledge from the program is invaluable and i m sure you won t be regret. Btw the program is absolutely safe and you will enjoy it for life.You could contact me at maria.weight@gmail.com for more details.

first, 107 pounds isnt heavy at all! hahabut yeah that should work,right now on my diet, i only eat when im hungry when commercials come on tv i jog on the spot etc for a while.its way better than sticking to something like that which is hard.oh, i eat whatever i want by the way!but not too much..i dont count caloriesand if i think im eating something fatty i ll only eat a little bit.pretty simple, and find an exercise that you find fun..dancing is cool:)good luck xxoxox

Yeah you can eat but try to make sure it is home made healthy, and not processed. I m 12 5 7 and I way more than you and I do not look fat

YOUR 14 AND PRETTY TALL...AND 107 IS NOT EVEN ALOT !!!!!!!!!!YOUDONTNEEDTODIET !!!!!!!!!!!!

An unhealthy liver and weight loss? -

Hi therei understand that the liver is the major organ within the body that plays an essential role in fat loss.A guy at work who has been to a naturopath told me that to lose weight you must detox first. He has lost about 20kgs.I m only a little overweight but i have found it difficult to lose stubborn fat even after strenuous excercise regimes.I have been a heavy binge drinker over the last couple of years. I m starting a weight loss program that comprises of gym and cardio alternated over the 6 day week. Also a plan of eating 6 meals a day, lean protein, lots of vegies, whole grain carbs and fresh vegie and fruit juices. I ll be stopping the ciggarettes and alcohol and drinking mainly water.What do you think? will i still lose alot of weight and get lean without visiting a naturopath and going on herbal drinks?any advice? your own experiences?Thanks

Hi there, you should stop cigaret and alchoholjust add skipping on a dailly basis at least twise a day.otherwise you are on the right track.

losing weight is not easy task. it is better to visit physcian to promote your weightfor more info u can log onhttp://rajagiriworld.com/yoga.html

HiThe liver is a complex organ that works 24 hours a day and performs hundreds of specific functions in the body. More than 500 body functions have been identified with the liver, including system cleansing and detox, the breakdown and metabolism of dietary fat and sugars, production of certain plasma proteins and cholesterol, storage of iron, removal of poisons, drugs and bacteria from the blood, the regulation of blood clotting and the maintenance of a healthy immune system.LiverBecause the liver is responsible for metabolizing nutrients, hormones and by-products, it s exposed to everything we eat, drink and breathe. Liver health is essential for optimal enzyme production and youthful energy. Not checking your liver health regularly can lead to missing opportunities to consider treatment if your liver health is deteriorating.Liver cancer is the sixth most diagnosed cancer in the world and is much more common in people who have chronic viral infections of the liver such as Hepatitis B or C. Millions of Americans have liver disease and don t even know it. In fact, liver disease is one of the top ten causes of death in the United States, even though many forms of liver disease are preventable and many more, if detected early, can be treated effectively.Healthy LiverProtect and nourish your liver by eating a healthy diet, avoiding harmful chemicals, and giving it the best nutritional support possible. Learn about what your liver does for you as well as what you can do for your liver in the form of healthy eating, keeping fit, energy conservation as well as maintaining a positive attitude. However, a combination approach, that includes nutritional remedies with specific herbs, can contribute to the restoration of a healthy balance within the body.DietThe typical American diet does not provide the extraordinarily important B-Vitamins which are crucial to daily functioning. Health practitioners recommend a diet centered on whole foods, with fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and whole grains being emphasized. Maintain a healthy diet by cutting back on alcohol consumption, exercise regularly to maintain healthy weight, supplement your diets with herbs vitamins for a comprehensive herbal liver detox. It is believed that diets containing 30-35% non-vegetable fats promote both liver and heart health.The combined fibers of rice, alfalfa, barley and high pectin apple fiber combine to gently sweep the lining of the intestinal tract, helping to eliminate both dietary toxins and carcinogens. Although fats are a good energy source, they are difficult for the liver to process, and the total fat in your diet should be moderate.CleansingAntioxidants not only help the liver carry out its cleansing processes, but they also serve to protect the liver from excessive free radical damage. Additionally, supplements recommended in the liver cleansing treatment, such as milk thistle can help to support your liver functions. Although carrots are not a green vegetable, vitamins and minerals found in carrots are a very important in the cleansing factor. You should also look into cleansing the colon, lungs, and cardiovascular system every so often to get a full body cleanse.ConclusionA healthy liver is very important to a person overall wellness and optimum health. Physical exercise and diaphragmatic deep breathing are critical to lymph cleansing and to healthy immune response. An unhealthy liver can lead to weight gain, fatigue, poor complexion, and can complicate other health concerns. In promoting liver care, a healthy, balanced diet is always first and foremost.

How is my boss loosing weight? -

My manager is doing this weight loss program but I m not sure what it is and I m not sure I feel comfortable asking her. It actually has a center you can go to, similar to Jenny Craig or Curves. She said it is kind of expensive but they gave a promise of loosing 50 lbs by thanksgiving (a few months ago) now it s 30 lbs by thanksgiving. She has packets of supplements that look like jelly that she adds to her water in the mornings and seems to not eat any carbs. Any thoughts as to what program this could be? She s already lost like 12lbs!

Hmmm...my mom goes to some place where they give her packets of food to mix with water and then it turns to food. Shelost a lot of weight really fast too. They also gave her shots of I guess vitmanis or something I dunno. She lost like 40 lbs in a couple months. Mayb its something like taht but I dunno what its called sry...my mom just says shes going to the diet doctor?

One cannot loose weight. However, one can lose weight.

It doesn t sounds healthy.You should tell her to join weight watchers.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I lost 12 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. I also lost a lot of inches too! I learned that cleansing will help the body get rid of toxins. Toxins come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives and lots of other things. The toxins get stored in the fat in our body. To get rid of the fat, we have to get rid of the toxins by cleansing the body. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. I did Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher and Medifast. If you want to learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. This was the first time I ever did a cleanse, it was easy and I feel better. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://thebestcleansingdiet.com

Has anyone tried any of Orovos other merchandise besides their weight loss products? -

Orovo sells their products at wholesale prices to their members. I have only taken the weight loss pills which worked for me, but now I am thinking of getting a few of their muscle builders like Alpha T-1 or Neuroexplode. Has anyone tried any of these? Please let me know. Thanks

I tried their muscle builders, I had used the Alpha T-1 at first but couldnt handle the extra testosterone, neither could my wife, so instead I switched to the NeuroXplode. This stuff blew me away, I could do an extra set no problem, and my work out time instantly increased by 15 minutes. I swear by this stuff, and my body shows it.

I use their facial scrub every day in the morning shower, and at night after i go jogging. It is amazing, I am not sure which one keeps me acne free, but between the two, well, I am. I also use the 7 dfb antime I start to get a couple lbs piling up to spark a quick turn around.

Help with a few weight loss incentives? -

me my mother and my aunt are starting our own weight loss program between the 3 of us we would like to lose about 200 total pounds, and we d like to have a little push something to work towards, but not food related, every 20 lbs. or so... we know once we hit our half way mark we re going to a resort for a weekend, but I would like a little input from all you wonderful people, smaller or larger in value than the weekend get-a-way a nice mix of it all, um, a little more detail, my mom is 44, I m 18 and my aunt is 52... they both want to lose about 50 lbs, and need to lose about 100 lbs. we just started today and would like to get this together... so any help, for incentives, small big or in between... thanks so much!

a weekend get away to a casino if you like that kind of stuff. Or to a big shopping mall in another town that s a nice drive away. Get a room go out to eat and shop w/o the hassle of kids or hubbys.Do you live in a town where they have plays? If not go see a play. Do you like history? Go to a historical site near you that you always wanted to go to but haven t.Good luck. Ive lost 70 lbs, so I know you can do it.Look in the papers for treadmills now. People that aren t sticking to their New Years resolutions are selling them cheap. I got one for $75

go to a day-spa for a massage or a pedicure..

Loosing Weight....So i been going to the gym..? -

I have been going to the gym for 3 days.I ve heard that running helps you loose weight - so I been running for 30 min. everyday.So can someone make a healthy weight loss meal planEX. Breakfast Snack Lunch Snack DinnerAnd is running on the treadmill all I have to do?I don t exactly know how much weight I want to loose, but I want to loos my love handles and get a nice Tummy :)What other excersizes are recommended?PLEASE AND THANK YOU ?

I ve heard that running intervals (instead of just going at a constant speed for the whole 30 min) burns more fat, so consider that. I d also suggest doing resistance exercises (like crunches) to boost the fat burn over the tummy area.As for what to eat, fiber is the best thing you can have--I try and get at least 5 servings of vegetables per day, because fiber makes you feel full and vegetables don t carry a lot of calories and no fat. Fruit and low-fat dairy are also good (especially as dessert items), and you should start your day with a serving of starch (like a slice of bread), because it ll give you a bit more energy to kick off the day.

How do i lose 54 lbs. in 3 months? -

i love food and cant do those fancy wancy weight loss program i want some thing i can do at home but doesn t cost a fortune and if exersize i only have up to a hour each day to do any i can t go to the gym any ideas i welcome all o and any advice wit keeping my face bump/pimple free/blackhead free and agian cheep

lemonade dietGOOGLE THE LEMONADE DIET!

heres the plain and simple fact.........diet and exercise its that easy.......now that said you may not be able to lose that much weight in that amount of time but some is better then none and by that time you will have developed a healthy habit. the trick is to burn more calories then you take in. (you have to take in calories to burn calories, if you dont take enough in your body will think you are starving and will save every thing you eat as fat, even healthy stuff)a good diet will do wonders for your skin as well, you will be amazed at the difference it can makeThere is a book called the Perricone Promise by Nicholas Perricone it will help you to understand the way your body uses food and also give you a list of foods that are good for you and recipes to try both for your skin and weight loss

so you would have to lose 18 lbs a month. well you can eat 5 SMALL meals a day and exercise 2 hours a day. its good to eat every few hours but it has to be something healthy like brown rice and vegetables and fruits, eat lots of fruits. eat an array of fruits for breakfast.

That is too much weight to loose in such a short time. In order to loose weight you have to change your way of eating, which is not expensive, eat vegetables,fruits, lean meats drink plenty of water instead of pop and do not forget to exercise.http://weightcontrolinfo.com

if you do that in three months you will have to do it in an unhealthy way and you will gain it all back plus some after

you cant do that in 3 months.

Woah Big goal hope u make it drink LOTS of Water no junk food swim it almost summer walk or a hour or 2 a day its pretty outside and see u l8er ( yeah shes my BFF) and just so everyone knows she is really cute Luv Ya tohru!!

Start by cutting off all the junk, pop, and sugars. I mean white, brown, yellow, molasses, honey, syrups, etc. Go to your local health food store and buy Stevia , the powdered form. It is an almost 0 calories sugar substitute from a plant with no side effects like Splenda or similar. This will save you from sugar cravings. Eat sugar free cereal -read the labels-in the morning with fat-fat free milk or Soya milk. Oats is the simplest and add the tip of a teaspoon of stevia and powdered cinnamon. You will learn how much you need. Avoid fruit juices, the body treats them as sugar water, eat the whole fruit instead; always 20 minutes before a meal. If you already ate wait 2 hours. Make sure there is always home made vegetable soup for you. It is very calming for cravings. It is warm so you feel you are having a meal. You may add 1/3 cup of cooked whole wheat noodles to a large bowl of vegetable soup. Easy with the potatoes in the soup, just a little bit is OK.Eat slowly...Over chew all your food. Time yourself so it is no less than 20 minutes from start to finish. Use a teaspoon instead of regular cutlery at home. You will be amazed of how less you actually need.Eat only whole wheat bread and limit the amount to 2-3 slices per day. Avoid all pastries. Instead eat fruit and fat-free yogurt with some berries and stevia. It is heavenly, filling, and very safe for dieting. On your main meal there shall be first of all a large bowl of vegetable soup, your protein never fried, but cooked, baked, boiled, lot s of steam vegetables, use fat free salsa for a topping, a good green salad with a good quality low fat dressing and perhaps a slice of whole wheat bread. Choose lean meats, preferably white. No skin with your chicken. Drink a lot of water. I always have a jar of lemonade made with real lemons in the fridge with stevia , again, it feels like you are drinking with sugar, it tastes great and free of calories. Buy herbal teas for a change sometimes.Avoid coffee (I didn t say drink less, I said avoid, no more), caffeine in general is out if you want to loose weight. Carry a fruit or two wherever you go and your container with your lemonade or herbal tea with stevia. Have stevia tablets with you always. Don t go to the supermarket hungry. Make a dip for veggies with a bunch of spinach, steam cooked and pressed out all the water with clean hands, chop and add one L of fat free yogurt, 1 tsp of minced garlic, sea salt and 1/2 C of chopped cilantro. It is great and is perfect for raw veggies snacks.Find a place with long stairs and climb stairs for 20 minutes to start , then use your one hour. Stretch first very well your legs. Go up crossing the legs, as you step up with the right leg cross it beyond the left foot and vice verse, this is extra work for your inner thighs. ORFind a long street that goes up hill for 10 blocks or so. Start at the bottom and just walk up up up! Blessings and best of lucks
