Which is better to lose weight faster power walking or running? -

It really depends on how fast you are running versus power walking. If you are running at a quicker pace than you would lose more weight. Whichever you choose to do you need to make sure you can hold that speed for several minutes. Also make sure that you the exerciser enjoys the activity that you choose.

It s about the distance you cover. If you can cover more miles running then power walking, then run. If you tire too quickly and stop sooner, walking is the way to go.It doesn t matter how fast or slow, just go a long way

PLEASE Tell Me Sumthing That Will Help Lose Weight FAST before Summer???? -

Yes, i know that its not healthy to lose alot of weight fast, that it will all come back, but really, i dont care. i just want something that works that i will be happy with. Because i dont feel like having to cover up everything this summer. i want to feel confident, not Shy. Please just tell me Sumthing that will actually work FAST.....

Just reduce your caloric intake, and drink one cup of skim milk with every meal and snack. Here s an example.USUAL MEAL:2 slices bread, 3 oz ham, 1 slice cheese, 1 tablespoon mayoINSTEAD, MAKE IT:1 slice of light bread, 2 oz 98-100% fat free meat, 1 slice of low/fat free cheese, and 1 tablespoon of fat free mayo.Just, work out, and have fun doing what you love!-Nikki

workout as much as possiblelight snacks, healthy foods and an overall healthy dietcut down on caloriesdrink green teaand maybe weight loss supplements

find something you enjoy and get working on it. e.g rollar blading, swimming, dancing anything that will keep you active! u need to get your body motivated and ahve alot of determination. but if u can just find one exercise that you can really dedicate yourself to ull b there in no time. i got myself a dance mat. u can see how many calaries youve lost and its great fun! get mates to diet with u2. just have fun with it

Do you really need to lose weight or just being paranoid? I m sure you look fine and i don t recommend losing weight fast as you ve said. To hell with feeling shy, how are you going to feel if you do something to lose weight fast then end up falling on your face at the pool because you don t have enough strenghth and nutrients to hold yourself up.

Can i lose weight on my stomach and thighs if i start a lower calorie intake? -

im a 14 year old girl and alotta people in my family are nagging me to lose weight, my body just needs to be toned down thats all but will portioning my meals and avoiding other bad foods help me lose weight fast?

Families can be the worst on kids. Sorry to hear they are nagging you. Here s the deal about healthy weight loss. You can t just take it off certain areas, staying consistant with your exercise and diet will eventually pay off.Basic premise behind weight loss is calories in verses calories out. So you need to burn more calories than you eat. This best done with a combination a good balanced meal plan or diet, (what ever you choose to call it) and exercise. There are 3 major ways we burn calories during the day: resting metabolic rate (RMR), the thermic effect of food (TEF), and physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE). RMR is the number of calories we burn to maintain our vital body processes in a resting state. TEF results from eating food, and is the increase in energy expended above your RMR. PAEE accounts for the remainder of your daily energy expenditures. Included in PAEE is the energy expended in exercise and the activities of daily livingTo achieve a healthy body weight and optimal body composition, the key is to maximize your metabolism and reduce your caloric intake. To increase your metabolism, you should: (1) increase your muscle mass by performing resistance exercise two to three days per week (e.g., working out with elastic bands, weights, stability balls, body bars, etc.); (2) work up to at least 200 minutes of aerobic exercise per week (e.g., walking, jogging, bicycling, step aerobics, etc.; and (3) eat a low- (but not too low) calorie diet. Eating less than 1,200 calories per day has been shown to decrease your metabolism. Active women should eat about 1,500 calories per day. I had great success with having my clients follow the Zone meal plan. 40-30-30. Remember, there is no miracle pill or other ��quick-fix�� solution for jump-starting a person��s metabolism. One who is willing to make simple lifestyle changes and be consistent in their application will reap the future benefits of a healthy body weight and composition. Good Luck, hope this helps

Yes you can. To lose weight here s a suggestion:Eat more of fresh fruits, vegetables and raw nuts. These kinds of food are fat burners and so are spices and green tea. Check out: http://waytoloseweight.net/ for more of these fat burners.Eat a good breakfast one that is high in fiber and low-fat. And don t skip breakfast, skipping it would slow down body metabolism and make you gain weight.Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Oftentimes thirst is mistaken for hunger and by drinking plenty of water you would tend to eat less.Avoid food and drinks high in sugar. Sugar induces the pancreas to release insulin making the body store fat. That is the reason why diabetics who take insulin have the tendency to gain weight.Exercise for at least 30 minutes(1 hour is better) daily or on most days. Brisk walking, jogging, bicycling/biking(real or stationary) are good for weight loss. Adequate exercise boosts metabolism enabling the body to lose weight even when at rest.

There is really no secret to weight loss. All you need to do is eat less calories than your body burns in a day. One thing that is very important is to make sure that you are eating a healthy amount of carbs, proteins, and fats. Adding a 45 minute walk to your day also helps a lot in the weight loss process. There are also supplements that you can use to help give your metabolism a boost as well as add vitamins and anti-oxidants to your diet. One you should check out is the Acai Berry which is considered a Super Food because of its nutrients.

your family needs to get a clue and a grasp on reality.You re a young kid, and from what you say here, you dont sound huge , so tell your family to LAY OFF! just stay active and eat healthy, ....whole grains, whole wheat products, not white (ex...flour, sugars.....etc), lots of water, veggies, fruit and yes, even some ice cream now and then! ...just stay active...and tell your family to mind their business as they are only making it worse, and not ALL young kids have to be a size 2 to be healthy, geesus, its people like your family that give these young children poor body image, that leads to eating disorders and low self esteem,...SHAME ON THEM

daily sit-ups will work better than any diet..worked for me :]]

What is a quick and safe way to lose weight fast.? -

Im trying to lose weight quick and fast. I wanna lose 20 pounds by the end of this month. I heard it is possible what is some of the things to do. Im not trying to starve myself.

you should try the Atkins Diet. like any diet you will drop a lot of weight the first week from water but it is a easy diet to follow and it really works for me. Good luck to you.

Not very likely...

Just drink water and take vitamins. And eat one orange per day that will do it.We do this in Cuba if anyone becomes overweight like the American people.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 19 inches in 9 days. I continued and lost 29 pounds in a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc��. These toxins enter our bodies and get stored in our fat cells. To shrink the fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. My skin has improved from the cleansing. It is pricey but worth it! I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Call the toll free 1-877-587-4647 Give it a try and good luck! http://diet4cleansing.com

It is possible to do, but not healthy by all means. You can loose 5-10 pounds if you use a strict diet and exercise often. LOTS of cardio. As for the diet, cut out sugar and carbs. If you eat plenty of protein and drink LOADS of water, you can loose 5-10 pounds by the end of the month.I tried a diet that was pretty good and I lost 10 pounds in one month. It was called fatloss4idiots. Same principles as I mentioned above.Good luck and try not to do anything that might mess your system up like starvation. You will only gain weight easier later. Believe me!

Low carbing works and you don t get hungry because your eating good protein like meat, fish, cheese, and vegetables and fruit. No bread, potatoes or other starches. Although they make a lot of low carb bread now which helps.Stay away from sugar!! South Beach diet, Sugar busters and Atkins are all low carb plans. Also a healthy alternative is a diabetic diet. It cuts out bad carbs and encourages healthy eating while balancing your blood sugar.You lose weight without starving!Enya 3

I m sure you ll get some loose-weight-quick schemes, but honestly just as you don t gain 20lbs in a month, you re not going to loose 20lbs in a month. And if you do, your body is not going to enjoy it and the moment you return to your old eating habits, your body is going to double your weight gain. Play it safe, and do what s right for your long-term wellness. I saw the most weight gain when I gave up meat. Loose weight, and make your body happy at the same time!S

Lemonade cleansing diet will help!Also, colonics............

i lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks on weight watchers!!

Cut way back on eating, especially junk foods and carbs and sugar, etc... eat only protein, lean meat, nuts, some dairy. Work out hard, make your body sweat. Drink lots of water.

Weight Watchers was the best diet I did. It teaches you proportion size and its so easy. The hard part is mesuring everything out and making sure you do the serving size. But other than that you can still eat what you want as long as you stay in your points. I did and I lost close to 15lbs also in a month. of course i got off of it. But I am now doing it without counting my points but I now know what to eat and how to eat. Proportion size and lots of water is the best and healthiest way. Along with exercise just 30 mins of cardio a day.

If i go without eating and just take fat burning pills and drink tons of water will i lose weight fast? -

why not just eat less and more healthy and pound the water, it will speed up your metabolism and you wont have to spend all that money on pills

You would also probably end up with metabolic ketosis. Lack of carbohydrates in your diet in circumstances such as prolonged starvation would lead to the depletion of your body s store of glycogen. Once that happens, your body begins to turn to its storage of fat and become dependent on it entirely. While you will lose fat this way, it ll also throw your body into ketosis, causing your breath to become absolutely horrid smelling. Taking it further and you ll enter ketoacidosis, where your blood s pH will drop below 7.2, creating the potential for permanent damage to your body.

Maybe you will but you ll also deprive your body of much needed protein, vitamins and minerals and so your concentration will be effected (got a test coming up anytime soon), your emotions will become unstable (crying spells), and your energy levels will plummet (feel like sleeping all the time?)The risks outweigh the benefits of any starvation diets. Oh yeah, and your hair might fall out.

You will lose water weight, but then your metabolism will slow down and you will stop losing fat as well. You will get headaches after a few days and will want to sleep all the time.A smart scientific approach always works, how much weight do you have to lose and how long to lose it. There are ways to get it done, but it takes time.Alhttp://phoenixbodystyling.blogspot.com/

well yes you will but it wont be healthy for you then after you loose the weight, youll have tonnes of problems in eating. trust me my friends have tryed it and its not good. go to a profesional and they will help you lose your weight just please dont take fat burning peels!

eat please trust me, not eating isn t healthy and the result won t last eat 2,000 calories but of good food and your results will be way longer lasting and way more healthy either way.

just watch these two videos it will tell wat to dohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtOJXj_k-��http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctfe4HwAb��good luck :)

No that would be really unhealthy and Just take a diet for about the rest of the year hardly and junk veges you will be as thin as you want to be!

NEVER take pills to lose weight and DON T starve your self. They don t work! Never have and never will they just cause harm to your body. Just exorcise and eat right.

you would loose weight but you would be very unhealthy and soon you will start to not feel good. I suggest dieting normally, it is more fullfilling. Hope this helps!Liz

yeah but you ll probably put yourself in the hospital... not really the smartest way to lose weight.

You ll die faster then you lose weight

Sure, then you will pass out, have a heart attack or be hospitalized

How can I lose weight faster than the rate Im already at? -

So over the last month and a half I ve been running 4 miles every day. At first I weighed in at 257 pounds, and now I m at 238. I eat 3 meals a day but a lot smaller portions of each meal. I like the rate I m going right now but I was wondering if there s a faster way to lose weight but still be healthy.

I would stick to what you re doing. I think patience and perseverance are the keys to losing weight. You are doing it the right way, and those fast diets also come back and bite you. You lose the weight fast, and it comes back fast. Hard work is what is working for you. I would keep it up. Also, kudos to you for your weight loss. I think it s great!

Running is kind of boring to me, because it s the same routine over and over again. I would like to suggest, start practicing Karate. You will never get bored, there is a lifetime of knowledge to learn and so many forms and techniques. It s a great work out with many benefits.You can learn online in the comfort of your home. Some of the benefits of Karate are: Physical benefits include: *Cardiovascular Exercise * Coordination * Flexibility * Practical Self-Defense Techniques * Stree Relief * Aerobic and Anaerobic Activity * Develop Quicker Reflexes * Plyometric Explosiveness Mental benefits include: * Discipline * Perseverance * Humility * Responsibility * Self Esteem * Confidence * Awareness * Practicality in Judgement

Sounds like you are doing fine, but its important what kind of food you eat. If you eat the right way,you can lose more weight by eating the same amount. Take 5 minutes to review this link -http://www.purplepumpkintree.com/WEIGHTC��

Try the South Beach Diet. You ll be amazed how fast the pounds will melt off. I lost 7 pounds in 5 days and I know other people who lost even more. You can go to the South Beach diet forums and find out all you need to know.

you could do interval training. Intervals: Efficient EffectiveIntervals are the single most results producing exercise that I��ve ever found for boosting your metabolism, helping you burn inches off your body, and giving you a tight, lean, strong shape.Here��s an excerpt from my latest article in Men��s Fitness showing you how to use intervals for fat loss (Men��s Fitness, Page 114, April 2005).Interval training is the fitness world��s equivalent of a visit to the in-laws. The shorter and more intense the visit, the better.An interval is a short period of exercise performed at a given intensity for a specific length of time. Each interval is separated from the next interval by a short rest or lighter activity. There are no strict rules on how long or how intense the interval must be, however, changing the interval length or intensity changes the way your body works and responds to exercise.Never sacrifice the quality of rest between intervals because this will only reduce the benefits. To succeed with intervals, you must first shake the mindset of traditional continuous cardio training.No matter where you start with intervals, heed this warning. The high-intensity nature of the exercise can cause muscle soreness you��d associate only with weights, and can cause your legs to feel like j-e-l-l-o.What most people don��t know is that intervals are the best cardio method for fat loss. Most guys in the gym are hung up on doing excessive amounts of work, but shorter, more intense intervals get the job done better.Intervals continue to burn calories and fat after the training session, and that��s something you won��t get from slower, longer sessions of cardio. When Canadian researchers compared interval training and long, slow cardio training, it was interval training that was shown to be more effective for fat loss.Use this workout 3-5 times per week to blast fat.Start with this beginner protocol:Warm-up for 5-minutes.Work for 30 seconds at an 8/10 level of intensity.Follow that with ��active rest�� for 90 seconds at a 3/10 level of intensity.Repeat for 3-8 intervals.Finish with 15 minutes of traditional cardio for ��transition�� and cool-down.As you become accustomed to intervals, progress to the experienced protocol:Warm-up for 5-10 minutes.Work at a 9/10 level of intensity for 30 seconds.Follow that with ��active rest�� for 60 seconds at a 3/10 level of intensity. Repeat for 4-10 intervals.Finish with 5 minutes of low intensity exercise for a cool-down.

How do you lose weight fast? -

You don t lose weight fast.Its safe to lose 1-2lbs a week. Smart diet and exercise are the only way to lose weight and keep it off. Don t fall into fad diets or miracle diet pills and formulas.....they are just a waste of your time and money.

i stopped eating for a week and lost 10 pounds. just dont forget to drink PLENTY of water!

some great weight loss and exercise programs on this site

eat little and have more fruit salad and do exercise.

You should consult a doctor before starting any weight loss program and let them develop a program best for you. It all depends on what other risk factors are involved.Diet and exercises is a good start to good health. Watch the fats and eat more fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water each and every day. Increase the amount of fiber in your diet will help.

nutrisystem

eat less and exercise

stop eating fats n sugar eat healthy food like salads n yogurts stuff like that you will see n improvement

Cut out all carbs

Eat mostly fruits and vegetables and drink 80 oz of water each day. 1200 to 1300 calories total per day. Do light excercises such as pilates so that you will not gain muscle weight as is the case when doing cardio or other strenuous excercises. But remember losing weight quickly is not healthy, and you are more likely to gain the weight back if you lose it quickly.

look up healthy recipies buy supplies then plan out when and the best time to eat it. I want to know how to gain weight because i can t eat enogh without my stomach hurting.

Trying to lose weight fast is not safe. The safest you can lose is 1-2 lbs. per week, but if you are new to exercise then it can take 4-6 weeks or longer to lose fat. Just eat a healthy balanced diet, do cardio 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes a day and add some weight training 3 times a week to start. Don t forget to stay hydrated too, even though the cold weather is just around the corner, you can still easily become dehydrated. Good luck!

It s all about your belief system really. Did you know that your bowels contain a large amount of what is classified in your weight?Start with Enema s and clean yourself out, as your cleansing yourself drink PLENTY of water and get excercise. Try a 3 day water or juice fast. A lot of people are apposed to the idea and its nothing to continue for prolonged periods of time, but its a damn good start and I speak from personal experience. Take vitamins while fasting. And get plenty of rest, when you sleep your body forces you into a fast and cleanses your body as best it can anyways. Ideally a 3 day fast is the best way to start, followed by a healthy changed in appetite and lifestyle following.

I want to lose weight fast? -

im 12 and over weight i want to lose weight faster than fast but i want somethng tht is easy for me please help!!!!

No carbs, just meat, eggs, cheese, chicken, grapefuit, and salads.You ll loose weight for sure, running at least 20 minutes straight every day will allow you to lose body fat without gaining muscle over your fat. It s cardio, it works.

First, you need to become realistic about your weight and your future weight goals. Wanting to lose weight faster than fast is not realistic at all. Your heading for a disaster!Losing weight is not easy . Losing weight is something that needs to be slow and steady. Ask your parents to take you to your family physician or pediatrician and talk with him/her. IF.....IF your doctor thinks you could or should lose weight, then THEY will give you your parents the necessary guidelines needed for you.

losing weight easy? I m sorry to let you know, but you have to earn everything in life.The fastest way is to workout. you can change you diet to get healthy, but chances are once you start to workout, your going to become more aware of your body and the diet changes will come more naturally..

Find out how many calories you need to eat each day. http://health.discovery.com/tools/calcul�� is the place to find out. Subtract 500 calories from this. The result is how much you should eat every day. Then, every day, burn 500 calories by exercise. Running at a fast pace burns about 600 calories in an hour, for example. This is 1,000 calories saved every day, which means 2 pounds lost per week. This is the healthiest way to go about it, anything more than two pounds is muscle, and not fat, and is a crash diet.

1-2 pounds a week is the healthy way to lose weight because muscle burns before fat so you would have less muscle otherwise.
