How to lose weight on sides and front of stomach? -

I want to lose some wait around my stomach before summer. How should I do this?

Lowering your overall body fat is the best way to do it, so watch your caloric intake (try burning about 500 calories more than you consume per day, and never eat less than 1300 calories per day unless you want your metabolism to curl up and die). As for exercise, cardio - especially running or swimming - is thebest way to go. To tighten up your abs, try crunches and reverse crunches. This exercise is also great for toning: Lie flat on your back on an exercise mat with your toes pointing directly upwards. Lift your heels about 2 inches off the ground, hold for a moment, then lower them again (you should feel this working your stomach muscles).Also, a lot of apparent weight in the stomach area could be down to posture and bloating. If you hunch your shoulders forward all the time it will make your stomach look bigger, so try to keep your back straight. As for bloating, there are a number of ways to reduce it but herbal teas like peppermint and chamomile will work wonders. Carbonated drinks fill your stomach with air, making it look bigger, and likewise chewing gum will bloat you because it forces air into your digestive system.Good luck!

Don t target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into starvation mode and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn t true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below. The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the moderate fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, swimming calories you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn t overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about How to get a six-pack? The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the core is active which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

How to lose weight on a certian medication? -

I am on a medication that causes people to gain weight and have gained about 25lbs and am having a hard time losing weight. Any suggestions.

Unfortuantely some meds that help us get better also have negative side effects. I found that exercising, even a simple walk, helps....but the main thing I would say is to change your eating habits. I also use Slim Quick from GNC and it works excellent with no caffine effects like other so called diet pills. I ve kept the weight off while taking these AND I barely exercise anymore sinc eI am back full time at work and college at night.Good Luck!

Yeah.... stop taking that medication.

Sounds like a steroid. Exercise exercise exercise. Reduce your intake, smaller meal servings. Talk to your doctor.

How to lose weight and tone up quickly and safely? -

i m not fat just want to lose some weight and tone up stomach arms and thighs. especialy stomach and thighs..anyone know how? without starving myself etc lol

Eat less, exercise more. Don t look to do it quickly. Doing it quickly doesn t work- you have to change your lifestyle over an extended period.To start with, if you are in general good health, do exercise for 20 minutes every other day ( ie. something that raises your pulse rate significantly). After about 10 weeks of this do it more frequently and for longer.You will get to a stage where you are eating to fuel your exercise while becoming toned and feeling good.A mixture of running, cycling and swimming is good- not too much running, its hard on the joints.If you just want a quick fix- don t bother- it won t work.

Stop eating junk seriously just stop.Only eat breakfast,Lunch and dinnerin between meals eat fruit.Finally run every day as long as you can.Drink only water or 100 percent fresh juice from organic fruitin about a month you should look and feel much better.PSIt wouldn t kill you to only eat organic food,No restaurants

squats push ups crunches sit ups running jogging....jump roping

How to lose weight over 6 weeks? -

I am 15 years old, 5 ft 2, and about 133 pounds.I want to lose weight over the 6 weeks summer holidays.. especially from my stomach and thighs.Is there any way that I can actually lose a considerable amount of weight in such a short space of time, without completely starving myself??

grab a bike and start pedalling do this before you would eat breakfast you want to burn what you have not what you just ate.One thing you don t want to do is limit your food intake your going thought puberty and your body needs energy to make your hips wider and grow taller Etc. Instead eat better food, a good cereal based breakfast but not one covered in a ton of sugar, midday should be snack type food not biscuits per say but food you don t require cutlery to eat like sandwiches, apples, bananas and the like, also cashew nuts have good fats in them. Your proper sit down meal is where you should get your vegetables and meat (not beef but chicken or fish) Variety is key here mix carrots with pea s one day and have broccoli and spinach the next.Avoid eating near to bed time drink some water if you start feeling a little hungry.6 weeks is a good time zone as losing more than 2 lbs a week isn t that good for you bringing you to about 8 stone 7 weigh yourself once at the beginning of each week (Monday only) as soon as you get up. If by next Monday you have not lost any weight reduce your food intake not by skipping entire meals but by making meals smaller, dinner is the best one to target not breakfast as its far too important to skip.Aside from weight your wanting to lose inches however scales only measure force not distance so just like the scales measure once every Monday your waist, which is always the thinnest part between the top of your hips and bottom of your ribcage. (Also remember to write these figures down so your not making any mistakes)Do not panic here weight will drop faster than your inches will because since fat loss occurs throughout the body the bits your looking at won t be the only place you will have lost fat from. With proper eating and drinking habits you can be sure that weight loss is from excess fat unlike starvation diets which leave you dehydrated and cause a decrease in muscle mass which slows your metabolism down and thus becomes counter productive to burning fat.Weights are good exercise just keep the weights low but use fast movements the idea being that you get out of breath sooner than your muscles start aching (stamina rather than strength) its how swimmers train to become stronger without bulking out (since they obviously don t want to increase resistance in the water) plus muscle burns calories all the time even when your not moving (helping you to lose weight)Water and sleep are your two biggest friends lack both and your body won t function normally especially with an exercise routine, my simple rule is to always drink if possible after every time you urinate.Sleep is important as without proper rest you won t have the energy to face the next day especially when your exercising first thing in the morning, wake up tired and you won t feel like doing it. Don t become a social outcast (have fun) but if you have nothing to do at night go to bed an hour early. A warning you might get at some point a feeling where your skin on your stomach gets itchy this means your blood sugar is very low if this happens try introducing some more sugar into your diet choclate is a good source because with a high concentration its very fast to be digested since you don t need to eat high volumes of it. P.s let us know how thing got on after the holiday

hii,check this site they offer a program so as to lose about 9 lbs. every 11 days, and it really works, i subscribed for this program for about 2 months ago ,and it s for real it helped me alot.Here is the link http://overweight-doc.co.nr ,hope it helps.

Hey, I am just like you, I am 14 and I would also like to loose some weight! All I know is that you should eat 5 portions of fruit and verg a day and drink loads of water, oh and exercise lol xx

1) Eat less2) Do more

The easiest thing to do, if you haven t already done so, is eliminate empty calories. This means drinking diet soda instead of regular, use artificial sweeteners in your coffee, etc. Look at labels. If you re hungry, grab that apple before you pig out on cookies. And at your height and weight, you re already at a healthy level.

Exercise and make sure you dont eat too many heavy foods. Try and kick in,out and to the sides. Do 3 sets of 20 for each side. Do noral crunches for your stomach, and for the bottom of your stomach, lie on your back, lift your legs up and down for 20 and do 3 sets ot that.Brown bread is superb for weight loss as well. About 90-100 cals per slice and 1 gram of fat and 1 slice with jam or peanut butter is great and filling for breakfast. And you could have 2 slices for lunch with salad. And bread is filling but does nt weigh much.Eat fruit for snacks. You can reward yourself with a sweet thing once a week.lol

115 is veryy skinny, you do not need to lose anything or else you will look malnourished and unnattractive. I like girls with body to them.

How to lose weight in the thighs and hips? -

i have got abnormal thighs and fatty hips- all my beautiful jeans are tight now......do you have any kind of exercise that can lose my weight out there-i am still 12 yrs old, and have 51kg!

Honey, I hate to break it to you, but since you re 12 you re probably just growing/filling out/maturing/etc and other than maintaining active and eating decently, you can t do much to change that. Your beautiful jeans aren t going to fit you (most likely) into adult hood. Just stay positive about your body and buy new pants as needed. This question would be different coming from a 20 year old women, but you re still a young girl so it s not your fault for having fat hips/thighs, it s just nature taking its process.

losing weight fast is a bad ideathe healthiest way is to eat healthy and exercise

You could try fasting.

weight or fat ? if weight cutting off limb would do good or starving for as much possible.

Anarexia..? Bulimia...?

go on a good diet and dont eat crap

Don t eat

You shouldnt expect to lose more than 1-2lbs per week.Combine a proper diet with cardio and full bodied resistance training, this is your quickest way

Controlling your diet,Running and walk is the best way to loose your weight.

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, whichwill lead to increase of weight, or muscle growunderneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet withoutexercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. Fordiet, 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. For exercising,start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is themost efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight alot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to targetyour problem areas for men and women. It s not necessarily to become abodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help youto target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

1. Eat about 6 small complete meals throughout the day (fish, almonds, walnuts, and lean proteins in general, plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, and complex multigrain carbohydrates) spaced out about every 2-3 hours. Consume between 1500-2500 calories a day. DO NOT BINGE EAT!2. Be as active as you can; nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knockout 10 elevated push-ups.3. Eat some spicy foods; take a decent amount of vitamin C, and drink between a half-gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day.4. No more soda. Ever.5. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.6. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.7. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Jumping Jacks, Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, back raises, glute ham raises, burpees)8. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more then 9.9. Avoid anything deep-fried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.You can find more good info at http://www.crossfit.com and http://www.bodyrock.tv

Why do people ask questions on how to lose weight?Its simple cut down on treats and exercise.? -

It s ridiculous. Everyone knows how to lose weight, so why ask. Its a waste of 5 points. People are hoping for some miracle weight loss secret.Its simple just exercise.

Sorry but I think you just lost five points....and I gained two, awesome.Sometimes.....cutting back and working hard isn t enough, and people need the extra encouragment. I mean, when you think about it all of the questions asked on y.answers could be found if people really looked, but it s nice hearing what other people have to say.

I am glad you have the metabolism to just loose weight just like that. Not everyone does and it s not a situation of eating to much or all the wrong things or not exercises.. Yes there are some who do that but not everyone. Also age plays a part, if you have had children , that plays apart in your weight also. Please know all the facts before you ridicule. Thank you

that is not always the case some people who are over weight are handicap or need the sugar and sweets.

You should NOT cut down on treats and exercise.Cut down on treats.DO exercise!!

yea but they want to know how much exercise and not go overboard

What people are really asking is ��how do I lose weight without effort or change of my lifestyle.��People follow the path of least resistance. If it involves work or effort it is to be avoided. Why live life when the television or the Internet will bring life to them.

well you are absolutely right and this is something questioner has to think about before asking the same questions too many times.

What? This rhetorical question is any different?Ignore. To hard to do right?

You know what is ridiculous is your NOSE.

actually your question is the ridiculous compaired to those asking about weight loss.you see-there are many reasons why some are over weight. it s more complex for some of us to lose weight because there are circumstances involved that really has nothing to do with caloric intake and exersize. i know some who were born lacking a working thyroid. i know others who have to endure medication for one disease and weight gain is a given. i know others who have genetics that cause malfunctions in the liver, heart and lung. i know others who work out, eat right, and still have an issue with weight loss. i know those who are large boned and just a slight increase in weight as little as 5 pounds makes them appear as though they have gained 80. i also have met those that have to take antirejection medications because of transplants, where the meds cause weight gain, and others who have mental disease where the same outcome has been noticed.i had hcv growing up. it is a liver disease caused by a virus. from that i have fatty liver. although i ve cut back on my fat intake dramatically, and although i walk 15 miles a day, clean house, run a business ect, the weight doesn t come off....it s probably due to enduring 48 weeks of chemo which destroyed what little thyroid/endocrine system i had to begin with. whats more amazing is prior to treatment, i slept most of my life away and remained at a healthy weight at 143. after chemo, i remain between 174 and 180-yet, i am more active than my prior years before chemo.i eat a fairly decent diet. i am a woman who have also had a hysterectomy. just the antiviral chemotherapy and in conjunction with the hysterectomy, i do not lose weight.so, if someone is heavier and asking questions on yahoo questions and answers, they have a very good validation for such question. it s not as simple as you may think.i eat about 900 to 1100 calories a day, mostly healthy foods.i have no craving for fried foods like i did prior to chemotherapy. doctors aren t sure whats going on with my endocrine issue.they know that i have a severely damaged one, but are refusing to treat me with thryoid medication. even had they treated me, i probably wouldn t lose enough weight to get back to my pre-chemo weight. so, it s not rediculous, it s not dumb to ask.....chances are they have honestly tried to lose weight, but for some reason they cannot. only one thing you mentioned is worth mentioning again and that is, there is no miracle weight loss medictation. chances are most tell you to drink enough water with each dose, usually before a meal. the trick is water. it fills you up so you eat less.so now i am asking that you, or others who are possibly reading this is to be a little more sympathetic towards those who you dub overweight. help them, do not critisize them. try to be a bit more understanding. there are many issues that can cause weight gain, not having anything to do with food intake or other dietary issues.

because they are looking for an easy way out. And they re tired of their fingers hitting 4 keys on the keyboard at a time whenever they type..............you try typing with a sausage. It looks something like this....asdflkjsdaflkjsfad (That was supposed to only be 3 keys)

I know what you mean. People know how to be healthier, but spend there money on diet pills and stuff like that cause they are too lazy to get up and go to the gym and exercise

I also hate it when people ask.. am I fat ?Its so annoying......why would you think your fat if you aren t, for attention? Also...if you think you are fat..then you probably are.

You are right. I know what you say is absolutely true. I stopped exercises for 10 days and I must have put on a least 1/2 stone. TRUE! Not eating much but never exercised.I wouldn t mind betting though you are without children and naturallly skinny and have to run round in the shower to get wet. Yes..............?

Cutting down on sweets and exercising is too hard. Most people want a shortcut.C mon people, nut up and have some will power!

step away from the twinkies

Sometimes it is not that simple. I exercise and don t eat treats hardly ever...In fact, I was always thin and very fit! Even so I gained a lot of weight after kid number two...also hit age 40 shortly after baby two was born. My metabolism just hit the skids, so I did start to ask that stupid old question...how can I lose this weight?? Here is how I did it...I had to go low carb to get started, and I exercise over an hour on my elliptical every other day. I am now with weight watchers and still have trouble losing. I am not overweight anymore, but keeping it off is a day to day battle. It is not easy...this is why I along with others may ask this ridiculous question.Had I done this routine in my younger years I would have wasted away to nuthin.

what do you do if exercise doesn t work then what.I think thats what they are trying to get at

I hate to admit it but I agree with you. However, I think what people are asking for is specificity as to what worked for them. What type of exercises, food ate, etc. Everyone knows it s cutback on the snacks and exercise, it s what worked best.

cut down on treats and excercise ? you mean cut down on treats and do exercise .

People want and need advice.It might not be as simple as eating better and exercising more for them. Even for people who do exercise and eat right, theres times when it gets hard to lose the weight. Your body gets used to it.

some people are too lazy to exercise and need other ways, and others dont lose enough weight by doing what you do, everyones different.

Don t know. If you give up fried food/maconalds/kfc/chocolate/sugar/cakes I guarantee that you will lose weight. Its not rocket science eat less chocolate and pasties and more lettuce and tomatoes.Running round the park wont hurt either.

I ve got a lot of sympathy for your comments. What worries me most is that so many are looking for a quick fix that involves zero effort on there part, just some magic diet/pill/illegal drug/herbal remedy/patch etc etc. I can t believe that people think anything like this will be a success, but millions seem too!

i want a miracle weight loss secret- do you have one? jkyou are so right, i guess they just dont want to exercise or stop snacking, - and if they are too lazy to do that then they dont deserve to be thin and in shape :)

they are weird!!

People want to hear that they don t have to get off their fat a$$e$ in order to look like supermodels....it s rediculous, I know. That s our society though; quick fixes and no effort.

They want to ask that question becausethey can u dumb ***** why did you ask this question.

Hi! I m a lazy bum who loves to watch TV and eat all day. I m about 400 pounds overweight, and lately, the ladies are noticing. Does anyone know a magic word or medical miracle pill that can help me get down to 175 pounds by beach season? Yeah, I hear you. You re mocking the fictional guy/girl quoted above. What you should REALLY be doing is thinking of a way to separate him/her from $79.95 a month. You ll be rich in no time.Why? Because we re Americans. We love instant gratification. We believe that this is the land of miracles, where we can have everything we want, when we want it, with all consequences mitigated by magic or science.

i know your right
