well you have to make sure you re eating a healthy balanced diet first off. then you can try to do things to boost your metabolism. and then you can think about exercises.this is a copy and paste about healthy eating:eat low calorie low fat foods that are less dense (think soup). so out of fruits and vegetables, meats, and dairy, eat more of the foods that tend to be lighter in a smaller serving . for example watery fruits like watermelon and oranges versus fruits like apples/bananas/pineapples. or chicken soup versus clam chowder. 75% of your diet should be fruits, veggies, and whole grains and 2/3 of that (50%) should be raw/unprocessed. so less pasteurized juice, less applesauce, less bread and more oranges, celery, and popcorn or rolled oats (which are unprocessed whole grains).more to add: try to eat rich good-tasting filling foods and avoid refined processed fake cheap food. if you crave icecream, eat as much as you want (slowly). trust me i ate 2 pints of ben and jerry s icecream over a 2-week period just a couple months ago and it did not affect me at all. also had cake/cheesecake/etc pretty much once a week. i am still losing weight consistently and i never had a high metabolism growing up.a couple of things that have helped speed up my metabolism are drinking lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning, having spicy foods more often (like wasabi with sushi), taking apple cider vinegar, drinking green tea, and increasing my use of coconut oil. also eating more often and eating slowly so I can tell when to stop. and don t watch tv while you eat.with exercising i do very little aerobic or cardio exercise. just a little walking a few times a week. i do tai chi for 20 minutes twice a week.the key is to do some type of strength or resistance training once or twice a week. if you are doing this along with aerobic exercise you will lose the right kind of weight - just fat instead of fat with muscle mass and bone density. so in the long run more fat just comes off without you even having to do as much exercise as you were probably doing before.
i was 145 and now am 121, for the most part have done a good job keeping the weight off this time, and have learned why past weight losses were failures. key thing for you to understand is that there is weight loss and weight loss with repercussions. the hard things to do definitely is keeping the weight off once you have lost it. when losing weight, don t do things all at once and make it drastic. lose 1-2 pounds a week. with eating, i suggest you eat palm size portions about 5-6 times a day. eat fruits and veggies, and try to stay away from oils and meat and pork. chicken is okay in moderation. if you also want some tone with muscles, then eat protein after strength training exercises, a good healthy protein source is egg whites and tofu. do cardio about 3 times a week for approx. 30-40 minutes. and don t give up. incorporate exercise into your daily routine. good luck.
ok well Ive recently lost 20 lbs. things I did was:-running 3 times a week-weight training-eating healthyBreakfast-toast, fruit, or oatmeallunchsoup, sandwich, or saladsnackpretzels or popcorndinnerchicken with ricealso, drink a glass of water before a meal, it will make you full fasterI also eat what I want on the weekends, but since you are starting out, I would eat healthy until 2 weeks, so you dont gain the weight back
i was on a diet for 5 months(took that long to reach my target weight loss of 30lbs)and did the below.learn to count calories and you can eat what you want just not as much as you want.eat no more than 500cals per meal(exception is a special day like a holiday,birthday).you can eat less than 500.250-300cals is an okay amount.try to eat about every 3hrs. that way your blood sugar will stay stabilized and you won t feel overly hungry or bad.try to eat about 5 times a day. three small meals and two snack.i ve been off my diet for 1 month and since i got use to eating the way i did for 5 months i still lost 3lbs this month(during the holidays). so now i am trying to eat a little more to keep my weight where it is.///about exercise. yes i exercise and my advice is to do any exercise/activity that you enjoy enough to stick with. i only exercised about 30mins. 3 x a week.
