I would like to know the most effective ways to lose weight.The reason I gain weight is because I eat junk food; so I m cutting that out and going to eat healthy, and exercise (at home I have a treadmill and a crosstrainer).I just want to know what the best methods of exercise are to lose weight.Also the best times of day to eat, best amount of meals and stuff.Any tips would be great, thanks.
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. Drink water ��No, you don��t have to fill up like a tub, but ensure that you drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day. Don��t substitute for juice. Your body should always be hydrated. Your kidneys will thank you as it can easily flush out the waste. With adequate water intake your body will be able to metabolize fat more effectively. And if you have a glass of water 10-15 minutes prior to your meal, you will feel full once you start eating. Another fun fact, did you know that you can lose 62 calories by drinking ice cold water? But it��s better to drink it between meals or before meals, so that your food gets digested properly.Check out the 10 Ways How Water Helps You to Lose Weight �� for more details.2. Eat 5 times a day ��Start with breakfast. The more you eat for breakfast, the less food you will want to eat at night. Please, don��t skip this meal as you��ll end up devouring everything in sight for the rest of the day. You don��t need to gobble up 5 large meals, just 3 meals of a sensible size and 2 delicious yet low calorie snacks. Eat sensibly so your body doesn��t crave for food. If you treat your body right it won��t demand for more attention!3. Use weights ��Needless to say, exercise is crucial to weight loss. You can��t expect to sit on the couch all day, sip water and lose weight. Join a good gym that lets you work with weights. It will help you build muscle and your metabolism rate will increase. You��ll soon see the fat come off and in its place muscle will develop.4. Use smaller plates in dark colors ��The hotel industry has changed the way we look at food. Today a regular burger can feed an elephant. Well, almost! Check your portions the next time you dine out. You don��t need to finish every morsel. So, what you should do is ask your waiter to put half of your meal into a doggy bag before it even makes to the table. This way you will not be tempted and you will feel full eating less. And you will have something for breakfast too!5. Read between the lines ��Food and drink products are all out to get you. They scream ��Buy me! Buy me!��. It could be ��fat free�� but it could still have a lot of calories. You need to analyze the nutrition label on the cover. The number one example of this is sodas. Find out what��s good for you and what isn��t. Knowing in advance can help you stay away from products that are calorie-enriched. Oh, and when shopping for groceries, avoid the aisles with cookies, frozen pizzas and ice-cream - it��s not the best place to test your will-power.6. Keep a journal ��It helps to document what you eat. This way you can keep track and evaluate your eating habits at the end of each week. Ask your dietician to look at your journal and suggest improvement points. I found it helpful to measure myself with a meter every morning. Every time I skipped dinner, my waist was a little bit smaller - and that��s what gave me the strength to get my appetite under control. Check out 12 Tips on How to Keep a Food Journal �� for the ideas.7. Don��t punish yourself ��Go easy on yourself at least one day in a week. If you begin to dislike your diet then there��s something wrong. Find a diet that suits your body type and your lifestyle.
I would be loathe to try any supplements as suggested by Devan. There are so many supplements out there that promise miracles and just deny the body the nutrition it needs. They may help you lose weight in the short term by will damage your body in the long term.There is a very simple equation here: if you input less calories than you output, then you will lose weight. In terms of what to eat, then personally I find that a meal which gives lots of energy is good a few hours before exercising. I lost 35 pounds in the last year by doing the following:20 mins of exercise (run or bicycle or cross trainer) when I wake upbreakfast of 2 slices of wholemeal toast with marmitelunch of tuna and pasta with mayonnaise and olives, then an apple35 mins of exercise when getting home from work (run or bicycle).normal evening meal (not junk food)you will find that certain foods make you feel bloated, and heavy, and not want to do any exercise. I find that bread makes me feel this way, so only eat it for breakfast, and eating meat too often also makes me feel lethargic, but find what works for you. If you find you feel energetic after bread, then by all means keep eating it.It is really hard to get used to, as you are depriving yourself of calories that you used to eat, and also trying to motivate yourself to exercise. You will probably have numerous battles with yourself about not wanting to exercise, or just that 1 doughnut will not matter, and you shouldn t beat yourself up over the odd slip up. You have to remember that you are trying to change your lifestyle which won t happen overnight. When you start seeing the results you will feel really proud of yourself, and inspired to continue.good luck
