So, I realized today that I only have a pair of jeans that still fit me. I just am so tired of feeling nasty about my body. I have access to a gym, but I have been extremely busy with classes, so it has been hard for me to get to the gym. I know that is something I need to make time for.But lets pretend I couldn t work out 5-6 times a week, what are some other changes I can make to help me lose some weight? I have to buy my own groceries, so I cant spend a lot of money. But I figured that cutting out coffee and ice cream runs...that would help. I can t spend a lot of time making dinner and lunch, but I want to start eating better.Please help!current weight: 144lbsgoal weight: 125lbsheight: 5 2 i don t want to take any pills, just natural weight loss!
lettuce is cheap, you can buy that and make your own salads, with any other vegetable. don t go hard on dressing though, i try to use only a tablespoon.eat plenty of fruits and drink a lot of water, that will make you feel like you are not that hungry. whenever you eat, try to leave behind just a little. try not to eat while you watch tv because sometimes you dont even realize that you re full and you keep eating. focus on your food!!if you can t get to the gym, do what i do.work out in your room on the floor for 20 or 30 minutes before you shower.do 100 crunches, military abs, and get some light dumb bells. look up some ab exercises that you d be interested in.i will say this time and time again, if you run or jog you will lose weight! make time to go to your gym for 30 minutes, thats all and just jog on the treadmill. you can even bring your books to study.don t skip meals, if you try to eat less you will not lose a lot of weight and if you do lose some weight, as soon as you eat again it will allllllll come back.try to eat some fruits for breakfast, and have a glass of skim milk.try some wheat toast with jelly.make a sandwhich with fat free deli meat. dont use mayo.peanut butter with apples is a good snack.for dinner don t fry anything! bake your chicken and eat some greens.stay away from soda, sugar, and white bread, etc.
calculate your bmi which stands for basic matabolism rate once you have that then cut your eating to about 1500 calories a day and do light exersise. so lets say you have a bmi of 1900 by eating 1500 calories you would be losing 400 calories a day. and along with the light excersise like jogging and walking that should be and extra 300. so you would be on pace to lose over a pound a week. 4 pounds in a month. and 2 months 8-10 pounds. so just do this for 4 months and you will be alot skinnier.
i weighed 260 and now weigh 170 so i can help. for breakfast have a banana, apple, or yogurt, for lunch have a tuna sandwich, or peanut butter and jelly, for dinner have chicken baked or grilled (not fried!) have it with some vegetables or potatoes.i also work out and run for one hour a day stay away from soft drinks, chocolate, cookies, candy.
Regular coffee is fine, it s what we add that makes it fattening. And ice cream for sure, way too calorie dense. You could always run in place, jumping jacks, push ups, crunches...Karl
Cut out sugar, add more fresh fruits and vegetables. I swear by juicing vegetables.
Cut off some limbs.You ll lose a few pounds there.
listen to football he has experience so yeah do watever he says.
You can drink coffee but just regular coffee with some Equal or Sweet N Low. None of that fancy drinks which pack in major calories. I d mostly control my diet if I were you. Studies have shown that diet is the most influential factor in losing weight. Count calories and try to stay around 1200 while you want to lose weight. Fresh fruits and veggies, lean proteins (fish, chicken), and whole grain carbs should mostly make up your diet. On nights I have more time I ll make a package of chicken breasts and throw those in salads, sandwiches, or whatever throughout the week. Drink tons of water. Every time you think you re hungry drink at least a half liter of water. If you re still hungry afterwards then eat something. Limit soda, alcohol, sugar, candy, snacking, fast-food, eating out, and nothing fried. good luck!
