How can I lose weight b/c I am gaining it from Birth control? -

Im 15 and I used to be soo skinny but when I got on birth control about last May I didnt really notice how big I had gotten untill NOW when its time to get a bathing suit and I need to know how to lose weight so I can be fit for it . WHAT DO I DO??? MOre water?? I heard you could just eat veggies and fruits for one week??? Skipmeals??WHAT

Simple... the healthiest way to lose weight is ONLY EAT WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY... sounds simple but it works, we get too caught up in routine in our country... just have a little snack (dont indulge) when you get hungry, when you are NOT hungry, dont eat... this along with excercise, will lose your weight for you... oh and lastly, eat whatever you want in moderation, no cant have this or that, reason is that your body metabolizes what it knows, if you eat what you like your body will respond, but if you go on a salad diet, the second you have that chocolate... POOF it kills all your hard work eating salad. Your horemones and body will tell you what and when to eat.

Go to your doctor and get on another pill or a different dose. It s not supposed to make you gain weight. Also, just exercise more and eat fewer calories (don t starve yourself, just eat smaller portions and don t eat fattening snacks) and you ll lose a few pounds before summer.

Cut out all carbs for a few weeks. No bread, potatoes, corn, rice, cereal, pasta, fruit, tomatoes, beans (except green beans) and peas. Lots of meat and green vegs

Why, at 15 are you on birth control? you re only 15, I d say ditch the birth control, you shouldn t be having sex so there s no reason to be on it and even if you are having sex, using a condom is better.

Just exercise and eat healthy. The birth control probably contributed some weight, but at 15 your metabolism starts naturally slowing down, so weight gain may be due to that too. My wife put on 5-10 when she started the pill, and she just did exercise and eating healthy to lose that weight and more.Don t buy into fad diets, they are fads for a reason.

If you re gaining weight, just stop taking it. They re a BUNCH of other alternatives. Since it s the pill, there s other brands you can take that might work for you. Go to your doctor and explain that you don t want to gain any more weight from taking the pill.The just eat veggies and fruits for one week doesn t work, neither does skipping meals. Just do what I told you above.

i had the same problem with those birth control pills girl the best thing for you to do is STOP using them they are bad. use something else for protection.

You should stick to a healthy balanced diet and do exercise. You are still growing so going on any of the fashionable fad diets could easily do you more harm than good.

You are gaining weight from overeating and not exercising enough. Birth control pills have nothing to do with it.No skipping meals. Drink plenty of water. Cut out junk food. Eat lean protein, whole grains, fruits veggies, and a little fat. Always eat at least 1200 calories a day. Aim for 1400 - 1600 daily. Exercise moderately for 1 hour every day.

eat jawar roti daily in the evening

Drink Lotsa water..Try to do More walking..and Exersisewatch the fatty YUMMY Foods likePotato chips chocolatedon t eat after dinner..Munch On Carrots.. :-)GOOD LUCK...

you might need to contact your dr. depends on what b.c. your on. i know the depo shot will make you gain wieght and make your blood pressure go up. there are pills that don t have that affect. other than that it s just the extra hormones in your body.. there s nothing you can really do. be glad it s the b/c and a baby ..

How to lose weight quick? -

im a teen, and my mom thinks i should lose weight and im to busy to exercize what should i do a

i m in the same boat. i ve lost 25 pounds in about 2 months by drinking LOTS and LOTS of ice cold water because it surpresses appetite and burns calories at the same time. Also, watch your calorie and carb intake. I used to eat less than 1000 calories and less than 40 carbs a day. Also, exersice will always help, even if it s just walking. good luck!

I m a law student (which is about 2 times as busy as high school -- in which case you should know that spell check is your friend, use it!), and I exercise 3-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes. If I can find the time, you can too. Two 15 minute walks a day is a great start.Also, eat less and eat more healthily. No fast food! Try to eat 3-4 fruits and 4-5 veggies per day. To servings of meat is enough -- a serving is about the size of a deck of cards, so half of a chicken breast, etc. Get a book about nutrition and start reading. I wish I would have been more serious about weight loss at your age -- I m losing it now, but I would have looked and felt so much better than I did for many years.

You are not too busy to exercise if you have time to watch TV, talk on the phone, drive around with your friends, surf the internet, etc.There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn��t get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won��t either.Walk for 30 minutes every day, including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week.Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Throw out all of your ice cream, chips, cookies, cheese, fried foods, bacon, and candy.Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don��t starve yourself during the day, but if you don t wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important. Don t consume alcohol��alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation��I��m not debating that��but we��re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn��t almost clear, you need to drink more water.Good luck.

Eat more meals, less food.Limit your water intake, most of the time you don t even need it. Don t dehydrate yourself, you still need water. But not a lot. You need to exercise, make yourself run, or if your lazy, then do whatever bit of exercise you do, in a hot room. Makes you sweat more. Don t eat junk food. Try sticking to basic stuff. Remember you only need about 2000 some calories in a day. Try to cover that up, but with food having protein.Dont starve yourself either, it makes it worse.

Read tips articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga much more....All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

the best way to lose weight is exercise and to watch what you eat. i m a teen as well and i know how hectic ur life can be! the best thing i can say is run for about 25 minutes 3-4 times a week, do atleast 100 situps a day (it takes only abt. 5 min.) and make sure u eat a healthy diet. the pounds won t shed off in really quick, but in a few weeks, you ll be able to notice the difference. good luck!!

You can Lose 9 lbs every 11 days after you know these facts:Low Fat Foods DON T WORK......... You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.Low Calorie Diets DON T WORK........ You won t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.Low Carb Plans DON T WORK....... You ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!Come to the source below,,It will tell you the whole secret of weight loss and it will tell you how to lose weight by eating Chicken,Fish Filet,Cottage Cheese,sandwich and so on.You can find weight loss is so easy and so happy!!!!!The site listed below can help you..

BS Dwww.sparkpeople.com

To successfully lose weight, you must carry outa plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionallybalanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity. I found useful informations at

If you are in puberty you gained weight cause of metabolism, and you ll lose the weight as your body returns to normal. Just work out and don t let it get you down :) Try doing scouts or getting involved with a team sport.

You just gotta change the kids lifestyle. Dont listen to anyone who tries to get you to do a gimmick like the atkins or south beach diet. No more soda, no more fast food, not much white bread, ...you gotta go and look up how to do all this. Theres all kinds of books and sites on the net that will tell you how. Then obviously make the kid exercise every single day. Remember no gimmicks.

whatever bad food that you eat the most, start to slowly get rid of it. if you get rid of it quickly, you will crave it. i slowly got rid of sugar, a month later i drunk kool-aid and it was so gross that i spit it out. lol. and try playing the game Dance Dance Revolution. it helped me out a lot. i still am a bit overwieght but it is going away, just remember not to give up because it will take a while to lose weight

First, you can t lose weight fast...and when you do, it s not healthy and you gain it back equally fast. So do NOT attempt to lose fast.Starving to lose weight is a myth. NEVER starve yourself. To lose weight effectively, eat a balanced diet. Cut down [but do not totally eliminate] on your fat, sugar and carbohydrate components in your diet. Continue playing softball. Play something else too, if you can.Be patient. For more on why losing weight fast is unhealthy, read this article titled Want to lose weight?

How To Lose Weight At Home? -

im 16 i weight about 215 pounds and im about 5 8 how can i lose weight at home?i ve been doing push ups sit ups curlers and running in place is that good enough?

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).

I am trying to lose weight too! Today is my third day of diet/exercise. I feel great. There is a fun work-out video on youtube. It is AMAZING!!! It works on your love handles and abs too. I don t know if you have heard of Tae-Bo, but that is what it is. You don t even have to go out and buy it. You just have to have a computer and you can do it in the privacy in your own home.When I am doing it, I sweat until I drop. My shirt is literally soaked in just 45 minutes. I used to go to gyms and swimming but I never saw results fast enough. Be patient and add Tae-Bo (Aerobic) and (Abs) total of 45 minutes a day for 4 times a week and you will notice a difference for sure!For my diet, I am eating a lot of veg/fruits/nuts and protein - chicken/eggs/fish. The video is 5 parts, plus, it is really fun to do. And if you actually look it up, Tae-Bo burns more than 600 calories/hour. Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP-ADSVst��P.S. Use the full screen so that the time doesn t distract you. You get so into the movements and the workout that you don t even realize how long it has been...Good Luck

you need cardio and muscles to burn more fat so try walking in your neighborhood or at a park. If you can t then try to get a dvd for cardio. anything that lasts for about 30 - 45 mins. If you mix this w/ free weights then you should lose weight, if you eat healthy of course.

If you work out like push ups and curlers theres a change muscle will just form under the fat. Eat better, swim, I dont think running in place will do much. Get out of your house. Run outside, and if it embaresses you do it at night.

How to lose weight? -

I want to lose 13-18 pounds, i currently weigh 103, and i want to weigh anywhere between 85-90 pounds. I am 5 3 , 13 years old and I am sick of people telling me that I am to young, to immature, or that i will be under-weight. Because I wasn t to young or to immature to look it up on: www.kidshealth.comAnd I found out that with my height/age, if I weight between 85-90 pounds, I wouldn t be under-weight.I need to figure out a way to lose the sufficient amount of weight I want to. I am going about this in a very mature manner, and I would expect that I get the same in your answers.Please and Thank You!P.S. I don t want an answer that says that You are already under-weight because I am not under-weight, and the weight I want to be, isn t under-weight either.P.S.S Please don t tell me about how you weighed more than me when you were my age. You aren t me. Everybody is different.

you can excersise, run alot to tone your muscles, which always works, drink a glass of water before you have a meal, eat less sugary stuff eat alot of vegetables and skip the chips and pizza and fast food,also there is a very good way to lose alot of weight very quickly, i know some people whove done it:eat only apples and as many as you want for 3 days and this is ONLY apples and you can also drink water, and you will lose alot of weight, however it may be challenging.also i dont think you are overweight :)

you didnt really say what you eat or how active you are. To lose weight you need to be burning more calories than your or intaking in your diet.

I have been overweight for most of my life, and have been on every diet imagineable. I recently decided to try Paul McKenna s weight loss programme, and have lost 3 stones in 2 and a half months.Paul McKenna is a famous hypnotist, and does NOT reccommend diets, as they never work, and almost everyone puts the weight straight back on. His theory is to eat VERY slowly, chewing every mouthful thoroughly, and slowly, putting the knife and fork down between mouthfuls. The mind releases endorphins, which make us feel happy when we eat, by rushing food when we eat, we release more endorphins, which make us feel happier, therefore disguising fullness . It really works, try it! I now eat a very small plate of food, very slowly, and I do NOT deprive myself of foods I love. I just eat smaller portions of them, and because I eat my meals VERY slowly now, I have found the weight dropping off me, without depriving myself of the foods I love.

Does anyone know how to lose weight fast without buying equipment? -

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Here are the golden rules: Initially cut down to 1200 calories women 1500 men Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. Don t eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. Never eat dinner after 6pm.Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!Make low fat dairy choices All food choices need to be low fatDon t make food a big deal and don t socialise using foodFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) ORfruit salad w low GI soy yogurtSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)Lunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna/lean meat salad (no butter)Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk 1/4 cup yogurtDinner 5.30pm - 120g-150g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomatoSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 women 1800 men and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

walking, jogging, kickboxing,swimming...... watch what you eat by limiting bread, potatoes, eat more vegetables, less red meat, eat smaller meals 4 or 5 times a day, drink 100 ounces plus of water a day,

WOW !!! without buying equipment wow gosh because that person must be fat!!!lol well..............i really dont know.......gosh........let me think ...............nooooooooooooooooooooo...��sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

cut bak on how much your eatin do 300 sit-ups each day (2 get a nice flat stomache)well any way thats wut iv been doin i used 2 way 119 now 106good luck!:)

Walking is the best way to lose all over body fat. A slow (3mph) walk for 30 minutes a day. You should start to see some results in about 3 to 4 weeks. It won t be alot but it will be pounds you can keep off. The amount you lose will be in accordance to your diet.

get you a nutritionist and start walking. also portion out all of your food. Watch what you eat.

you need to throw away all those Glamour and Cosmo magazines. that s the first step.next step- eat!!! really...eating revs up your metabolism.next, exercise in moderation. get that heart going!last step- revel in the healthy new you!

Exercise every day, even if it s just a walk. Go on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Eat fish, eggs, chicken, occasional lean beef or pork, low fat cottage cheese. Stay away from regular cheese, no bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, peas, beans (except green beans). No fruit and no fruit juice (it s sugar water, my dr says). Cut down on carrots and tomatoes (included ketchup). Use mustard instead of mayonnaise in recipes. Eat lots of salads, green vegetables. Salads only have one tablespoon of dressing for the whole salad. No ice cream, or other desserts. 8 glasses of water a day. No caffeine

If you re talking about weight equipment, you don t need to spend lots of money to get the same benefits as weight lifting. You can buy power bands or tubes that are a fraction of the cost of weight equipment and you still get a great workout.Check out TheraBand resistance bands or tubing. They also have exercsie balls. www.theraband.comYou can get at least 30 minutes of cardi at home, by walking, running, biking, jumping rope, playing sports, etc.

without buying anything? oh i know stop eating all toghether, nothing to buy

I had to lose 10 LBS to fit in my wedding dress. I just ate popcorn for a month. Everyonce in awhile a bite of something i was craving and salad. I didn t exercise at all. Oh, and I drank a HUGE coke everyday. Awful diet, but it did work. As long as it is short term, i say try the popcorn diet.

How to lose weight by doing nothing.......? -

ok so my son is 1 1/2 and im sick of being fat. i have 20 lbs to go left from the pregnancy and im trying to lose it. my question is how can i lose the rest without doing anything. so far ive lost 40lbs by doing nothing but i want the rest gone now. anyone have a quick fix or know a good diet pill? thanks.

Take 1 hour of this time that you do nothing every day, and exercise. Then for the rest of the day, go back to doing nothing. If you are already eating right (I assume by the 40 lbs you already lost), you should lose the remaining 20 lbs in a couple of months.

Hoodia diet pill kills the appetite and attacks obesity, is organic with no synthetic or artificial appetite control agents, has no known side effects, contains a miracle molecule (up to 100,000 times more powerful than glucose) that fools the brain into believing you are full, and even stops you from thinking about food.

I have had great results with a product called Isagenix.This product is only available by distributor.If you would like to know more please email me @ bignlild@msn.com

nope. gotta exercise. take your son for walks..push him in his stroller.

Doing nothing isn t healthy for you, and certainly isn t going to help in the long run. Try cutting calories and developing a better eating plan, and breaking bad eating habits-- don t snack late at night, get tempting/unhealthy/fattening foods out of the house... That should help you reduce calorie intake... There are also some good teas (I like one called Super Skinny and it is yerbamate, cintrin K, and someting else-- it helps stabilize blood sugar and control appetite)... nothing is really no fail though, you will need a healthier lifestyle in order to achieve real results that last.

I don t think you can safely lose it by doing nothing, but here are a few things that may help. Taking 2 teaspoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar before meals, increasing fiber, drinking more water, and taking digestive enzymes. If you add just a simple walk for 2-30 minutes a few times a day you ll be healthier than just doing nothing.

C mon don t be lazy! You can do this....If you are trying to lose weight there are literally hundreds of ideas out there. In my opinion, the best way, which has been proven time and time again, is a two part method: Eat right and exercise. First, exercise is a no-brainer. You have to burn more calories than you take in for exercise to be considered exercise. How you do it is worth another answer all to itself. So, that brings us to the Eating Right part. If you understand how your body works, you ve got a head start on the world. Food is fuel for the body. Once you ve accepted that concept as more important than the idea that food is entertainment, then the rest will be relatively easy. If you are American, and I assume you are, the Nutrition Facts label that you find on all foods bought in the U.S. are the next thing you need to understand. Go grab something from your kitchen (i.e. jar of peanut butter or a bag of chips...anything with a nutrition label). OK, yeah you need vitamins and minerals and all that. But focus on these three items: FAT, PROTEIN, and CARBOHYDRATES. Let s take these one at a time: FAT is basically divided into good fats and bad fats. The body needs good fats (mono- and poly-unsaturateds). You ll find these in stuff like olives and avocados where the bad fat is minimal if not nonexistent. The bad fats are your saturated and trans fats that you ll find in meats and oils. If you are trying to lose weight, keep these to an absolute minimum. My suggestion (based on a 1500-2000 calorie diet) is to limit yourself to no more than 15g of saturated fat per day. This is hard to do if you re used to eating fast food. It s also hard to do if you drink whole milk, eat cheese (even the 2% variety), and eat fried foods. All of these are high in bad fats. The good news is that you can substitute your diet to eat the very things you like to eat but with better ingredients. If you eat cheese, buy fat free. If you drink milk, buy skim. Slowly take yourself down from whole milk or 2% to 1% before going skim/fat free if the transition is too radical to do all at once. If you eat a lot of ground beef, use the extra lean variety (96% fat free/4% fat), or substitute lean ground turkey instead. Do whatever you have to do to get the bad fat grams down to less than 15 per day.PROTEIN: The building block of nutrition (aside from your vitamins and minerals) is protein. You need it strengthen your muscles and it will be essential with your exercise routine. Without protein, you can t build muscle tone or lean body mass. And guess what? Just having lean body mass (muscles) allows your body to burn more calories even when you are sleeping. Therefore, you are able to lose weight (bad weight, that is) just by sleeping. But, you have to exercise!! Don t forget that. You can find foods that are high in protein but also high in saturated fat, so be careful. Stick to poultry (chicken, turkey), fish (tuna is a great source), and beans. Don t fry your meats because if you do, you just added a bunch of bad fat to your otherwise healthy protein filled meal. Instead, grill, broil, or bake. You can do this! Don t forget to exercise to exponentially reap the rewards of consuming protein. CARBS. In my opinion, the no-carb diet is crap, because you need carbs for energy, especially because you are exercising! That s right, you can t forget you are supposed to be exercising. The trick is choosing the good carbs. You ll see on your nutrition label Total Carbohydrates and Sugars. Sugars should be kept to a minimum and should be avoided within hours of going to sleep. The calories associated with them get stored (for energy) but are not easily burned when it comes time to burn them. Therefore, it s harder to lose the weight associated with them. That s why it s not good to eat lots of candy, cookies, and ice cream that have a lot of sugar. The other kinds of carbs (complex carbohydrates) are essential. You can get these from grains and potatoes. Good stuff!!Now that you have a brief understanding of these three nutrition components, time to get to it. Not as easy as it sounds? That s because, you re human. If you treat your body right (and I mean very right, by limiting your saturated and trans fats, limiting your sugar carbs, and eating plenty of protein), then you deserve a day when you can eat whatever you want. The body has cravings and you should be able to fulfill these cravings IF you can stand to wait until the end of the week. I call this one day of decadence your cheat day. After 12 weeks of exercising and eating right in this manner, you ll get to the point where you don t even crave the bad stuff anymore.For more on this method, I encourage you to check out www.bodyforlife.com. The principals I wrote about are spelled out in greater detail there. Consult your doctor before drastically changing any diet or exercise routine. Good luck!

read labels. don t eat anything with hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, sugareat little and drink water.

I was wondering if you had any good tips on how to lose weight? -

I have such a hard time keeping on schedule because my Mom always buys the wrong foods so I m always reminded I can t have any. Which bugs me. I have fatigue. From depression. So I never have energy to exercise. Any tips on how to keep a strong mind and how to have more energy?

I thing is don t totally cut a certain food out of your diet. If you want a piece of cake eat it, just don t eat all of it. That s how I have helped myself reduce calories. Even though I try to make healthy food choices, if I m craving some cookies I ll eat one instead of five. My question to you is, have you seen a doctor about your depression? and second, are you taking a multivitamin? Both of these may help you gain more energy to get out and exercise.

well i eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big means that add up to 1200 calories, i go by a couple of rule, no soda,only one treat a week like a chocolate bar, i can t take seconds and i can t finish anything on my plate even if it means one small bite...these little things can help you lose weight and keep it off

Try to eat 1500 calories or less per day and do some exercises.(about 30 min to an hour a day you can take 2 or 1 day s off per week of doing exercise.)

I d say get plenty of sleep, drink a good amount of water, and exercise (if at all possible)

just join textile sector u shall be smart like me

Losing weight and getting fitter is really quite simple. All you have to do is a few simple things. Firstly, clear your fridge of fatty junk foods. If there��s no temptation, you cannot fall. Secondly, stock up on watermelon and other fruits. Watermelon is excellent because it clears out your digestive system of toxins and waste, leaving you feeling and being healthier. Next, begin exercising every day. Do not go too hard. If running, don��t go fast or uphill, unless you want bulky muscle. A steady pace each day for a minimum of 30 minutes will allow you to shed fat and tone your body. Set a day each week when you each junk food, but try not to go overboard and ruin the work of every other day. Drink plenty of water, often when you think you are hungry, you are actually thirsty. If you are getting cravings, have a glass of water, wait 5 minutes, and then see if you still want food. This usually gets rid of those nasty afternoon hunger pangs for me!Good luck, and I hope you get the results you want!!

How to lose weight fast? -

I m a guy and I want to lose some weight in my belly, chest and side fast. How

Hi Bob, The question you asked is one I commonly see here...and the interesting thing about all these very similar questions is they all seem to include the word FAST . But let s take a common sense approach to the situation. You didn t mention your age, height, nor current weight...Neither did you mention if your weight gain was rapid or over a period of time. So I will assume for the moment that you ve put on some pounds over time and now you ve come to realize that it s a bit too much--so what can be done about it?For the most part people wanting to lose weight expect it to vanish immediately----what they fail to take into consideration is that if they didn t gain it over night (with the possible exception of water weight due to fluid build up), why is it reasonable to expect it to disappear FAST???The key to permanent weight loss is #1 a healthy diet that includes all the food groups #2 Eat smaller portions throughout the day and avoid calorie-ridden snacks #3 Eliminate soda and alcoholic beverages from your diet #4 Engage in a sensible exercise program that will push you to tthe limit over a period of time----but not beyond what what you are able to endure. #5 Plan your meals and adhere to your diet plan.Here s what NOT to do:Don t engage in a starvation dietDon t try and find some sort of OTC diet pill that melts fat away----you should never take any type of weight loss medication without first consulting with your physician. Diet fads and OTC products simply don t work and whatever weight is lost through their use rapidly returns (and then some) when you stop that diet plan.So forget the FAST part----adopt a plan for yourself that will provide you with regular weekly reinforcement when you weigh-in each week. A lost of 2-3 pounds each week doesn t take long to realize a total weight loss 8-10 pounds a month!I wish you all the best.

The belly and chest are the hardest to lose since it deals with both exercise and diet. I had the same problem about 2 years ago. I wanted to lose about 35 lbs from my overall frame. I got the weight off quickly (within 2 months) but I still wasn t satisfied with the belly and chest part (man boobs). So about one and a half years ago, I stumbled across the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet and quick weight loss program. Almost approaching two years now, I am satisfied with the results. Keep in mind the results happened the first 2 months I was on the program and I have maintained quite easily ever since. The first thing I would do is speed up your metabolism by eating fat burning foods at the right sequence. I would highly recommend you read http://fatloss4idiotswork.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-can-i-speed-up-my-metabolism.html . Give it about a month and let me know what your results are. You will be surprised as how you can start feeling and seeing your abs come back to life.

You could get the OTC Alli which is a weight loss product 2. Intake more fruits and vegetables 3. WorkoutIf u were to do the above three weight loss would be speeded up some and u could lose X amount of pounds in a month Or u could get the weight loss product Xenical by prescription which is a stronger form of the OTC Alli which are also both known by orlistat.

If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many calories.

hey bob just you now exercise and eat lots of fruit lots of love hana

How to lose weight and have a flat tummy at 14?gt;HELP!!!? -

im 14 years old and im going to highschool soon and i want to lose about 5 pounds and i guess gain a flat tummy with it. i mean im not fat im even actually normal i weigh around 112 pounds but i dont feel comfortable because i dont have that bikini body that i want and 5 pounds would make a world of differance to me. and im average height so i guess id look great skinny.so any ideas ???

One thing that works for me is: before I eat, I drink a large glass of water, then if I m still hungry, I won t eat as much as I would have.also, fyi:1 pound = 3500 calories.If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.ie, if you eat 2000 calories per day and burn 2500, you will lose 1 pound every week.the average person burns 1500-2000 calories per day, just being alive.powerwalking can burn 200-500 calories per hour.exercise bike can burn 200-600 calories per hour.swimming can burn 100-800 calories per hour.jogging/running can burn 300-1200 calories per hour.*********VERY IMPORTANT************when trying to lose weight, very important to drink lots and lots of water ! ! ! You should drink at least 10 glasses per day, like 1 glass every hour !This helps your body get rid of the fat when you are burning calories.

I would say to do about 300 crunches every other day, do 50, take a break and then 50 more, and continue the cycle untill you reach 300. be sure to mix it up alittle, side crunches, knee crunches, regular, and within 2 weeks you should be looking good in that bikini(:

How to lose weight scientifically ? -

I wonder how many pushups, situps and running, swimming etc would it take to go from 280 lbs to 140 lbs please ? Thank you

Go to a nutritionist doctor.

Lots of exercise if you are really serious in losing weight. Eat balanced and nutritious foods, less fats and less sweet fruits, corn, potatoes. Trim the fats, skin from beef, chicken and pork. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Eat dried fruits, legumes and nuts (except peanuts). Use wholemeal bread. Eat five times daily: Breakfast. lunch, dinner. Have a light snack in between meals. Include fresh grated coconut and olive oil in your diet. No more animal fats. This will lower your high cholesterol. You will live longer, healthy and lose weight.

you want scientific huh well read and learn.Calories in minus calories burned equals fat on your ***less calories in minus more calories burned equals less fat on your ***more calories in minus less calories burned equals more fat on your ***..Any questions ??? lets

its going to take a long time and a lot of hard work...you may want to go to a doctor and get advice from him instead of people on yahoo answers, but its going to have to start with eating healthier and just burning more calories than you take in each day

There is no magic weight-loss pill, supplement, fad diet, or juice. The ONLY way to lose weight is to consume less calories than you burn. Brad Pitt didn��t get cut for Fight Club by drinking green tea, and you won��t either.Walk for 30 minutes every day, including weekends, Mondays, and Fridays. Do at least 30 minutes of weight training each week. Do 60 minutes of additional, higher intensity cardio each week.Cut back on the foods you eat with high fat and high sugar content. Eat only single servings (read the label) with less than 3 grams trans fat and 3 grams sugars. Throw out all of your ice cream, chips, cookies, cheese, fried foods, bacon, and candy.Eat breakfast, and eat five small meals per day instead of three big meals. Don��t starve yourself during the day, but if you don t wake up famished, then you ate too much the day before. Stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed.Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Turn off the TV and the computer. Sleep is vitally important. Don t consume alcohol��alcohol is nothing more than empty calories with no nutritional value. Some people will argue that alcohol has some health benefits when consumed in moderation��I��m not debating that��but we��re talking about weight loss here. Lay off the booze if you want to lose the fat.Drink lots of water, then drink more. Not tea, not Gatorade, not milk. Water. If your urine isn��t almost clear, you need to drink more water.Good luck.

heath,You can Lose 9 lbs every 11 days after you know these facts:Low Fat Foods DON T WORK......... You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.Low Calorie Diets DON T WORK........ You won t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.Low Carb Plans DON T WORK....... You ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!Come to the source below,,It will tell you the whole secret of weight loss and it will tell you how to lose weight by eating Chicken,Fish Filet,Cottage Cheese,sandwich and so on.You can find weight loss is so easy and so happy!!!!!The site listed below can help you..

How to lose weight on my waist? at risk of diabetes!!? -

i just found out i am at risk of diabetes (89cm waist) please help me! how can i lose weight off my waist without going to the gym. i dont have any money for that. only 14!!!i do 100 sit ups a day

The best long term answer is to combine fitness with healthy eating. You don t have to go to the gym. If you not very active, just start walking outside- getting faster each time. Doing 100 sit ups a day will not help that much; do sit-ups, but combine it with other activities like push-ups and jumping jacks. Working the muscle will help burn the fat faster when you do it with cardio. If you re really serious about losing the weight, doing cardio won t be so bad, especially when you start to see results and feel better about yourself. You ll start to be more happy and have more energy. With nutrition, start limiting your calories (# depends on weight/age/ activity,etc). Limit your portion size- don t over eat! Eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetable- stop eating sweets and drinking sodas. Have 3 meals with smalll, healthy snacks in between. Drink lots of water- it s better than any other liquid because it doesn t count for any calories. Just write me if you have any other questions.

Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.

i think that the below website will help you to find the right solution.

You cannot reduce fat from a certain targeted area of your body just by using exercise alone. The abdominal area is no exception. The only way to do this is to lose fat proportionately from your entire body by burning more calories than you consume. How? By doing these two things: 1) Have a healthy and balanced permanent diet: dark green vegetables, fresh fruits, whole wheat and whole grain products, non-fat dairy products, fish, poultry breast, lean red meat, egg white. You should cut out all sugar, soda, non-whole grain products and saturated fats: These aliments should only be a reward for achieving a goal, not a habit! If you want to count calories see following site:http://www.weight-loss-choice.com/Food_C��2) Start exercising Aerobic and weight training will raise your metabolic rate. In result, your body will burn more calories. * aerobic exercising 3 times per week, conduct an exercise that keeps your heart rate elevated for at least 30-45 minutes (ex: walking, running, cycling, swimming, aerobics, ... check out following link for more details about good exercise choices to lose weight: http://www.weight-loss-choice.com/Exerci��* weight training Alternate days of aerobics with weight training. You will build muscles that will burn more calories, even when at rest!

Do more, eat hhealtthy

You have to cut out white flour....like in white bread. NO SUGAR and cut down on caffiene, because caffiene stimulated cancer cells. I dont think you want that. Most caffiene is found in coffee. Good Luck
