Your time frame of 4 months to lose 30 lbs is realistic if you are motivated. Here are some aggressive but healthy ideas.First, for all of the quick and easy weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to How do I lose weight, or more specifically, How do I lose abdominal fat? I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get It works! emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.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.Aloha
Try the weight loss pill called NV . This is the one that Carmen Electra pimps. It really works.
I think lots of fruits and veggies may do it but I m not so sure.
I suggest that you exercise and control your portions when you eat. Walking an hour a day is good you do not have to do the hour all at once. You eat healthy so that is great.
your 2 main meals are breakfast and lunch.Dinner is something that you could skip.Eat a big breakfast,and a lunch.Skip dinner and snacks,and sugar drinks.That away you aren t starving and by bed time you have already worked your breakfast and lunch off.I ve been doing it about a month and I have lost 7ibs.
eat less and healthier and exercise more.....its the only way to do it.
if all the fat s on your stomache, then alot of crunches works...and if that doesn t, go on a no carb diet.
Gota lay off the starches girl.no more then a slice or two of bread a dayno beansno riceno cornplus you gota exersize if you want to loose anythingyou can starve you self to death and still gain weight if you dont get up and move around a bit.
Get yourself on a good diet of about 1,500 calories and go to the gym for minimum of 30 minutes each day,, stay away from all fats, white rice, white bread, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and all of that greasy stuff..
(m)1. Drink waterWater is quite possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off longer term.Water acts as an appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration which can lead to false cravings/hunger.Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don t drink enough water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy helps the kidneys eliminate waste and becomes less effective at metabolizing fat.Drinking water ice cold burns about 62 calories a day. Your body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body s temperature. This equals around 430 calories per week.2. Eat regularlyThis means eating 5 times a day and the most important meal is breakfast.Make sure you fuel your body first thing in the morning to avoid hunger pangs later in the day.When you eat 5 times a day you will never feel hungry, make sure the total calories consumed are sensible and don t over eat in any of the meals learn portion size control!3. Eat lots of fibreEating adequate fiber foods to help keep things moving through your bowel. And like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel fuller for longer.Fibre is found only in plant foods our bodies cant digest it to so it simply goes through the body. During the elimination process it cuts calories consumed by attaching to protein and fat that you eat along with it removes that as wellIn addition, high fiber foods are typically low in calories and filling, so you are reducing your calorie intake overall.Good fibre foods include: strawberries, apples, figs, chickpeas, potatoes, (with skins) broccoli, brown rice, beans, bran and nuts.4. Consume more good fatsThere are good fats and bad fatsGood fats provide you with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostoglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, prevents blood clotting and lowers the risk of heart disease.For example, the reason oily fish is a great food stems from the fact that the essential fatty acids which it contains can actually help your body burn fat more efficiently and protect against disease. Get at least three portions of oily fish a week with Salmon, mackerel, herrings and sardines being good choices. 5. Get plenty of quality proteinQuality protein is an effective weight control tool because of the satiety factor and its ability to keep you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbohydrates by preventing insulin spikes that cause energy loss and sugar cravingsProtein helps to maintain muscle mass which is important in the fat burning process.Good choices include:Fish, shrimps, Low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, skimmed milk, egg whites, s Weight gain is caused by consuming too many calories, whether they are from carbohydrate, protein or fat.6. Carbohydrates can help you lose weightDon t believe what you read about carbohydrates being bad for you, they can actually help you lose weight!A diet containing good carbohydrates such fruits and vegetables, wholegrains and moderate in fat and calories, will result in weight lossGood carbohydrates will also help you combat hunger pangs as they are slowly realized into the body.When eating carbohydrates eat them from the earth with no refining or processing.These include whole grains, vegetables; fruits and beans.
Drink weight reduction tea, twice a day and take one or two walks, daily. Further each time. Also drink slim fast twice a day (breakfast and lunch) and walk home from work.
Cut your portion size.Switch ingredients in your recipes for a lower calorie substitute.Get extra exercise doing extra walking - using stairs instead of elevators, making more than one trip when you could ve done it one to carry something somewhere, take the long way to get somewhere, walk instead of use the car, when you have to drive park the car a few blocks away so you have to walk to and from your car, get off the bus a few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way, etc
I borderline starved myself. :)reluctant to do it again.I tried to eat about 800 to 1000 kcal a day.I walked 1 mile per day. at lunchI swam 1 mile per day at dinner and then walked 1 mile after the swim.next morning for a month .. thought I was going to die.then felt better.a typical diet included1/2 pack of cookies and coffee for breakfast.lunch entree work.dinner .. 2oz hambuger and 1/2 onion fried in burger and 1 tomato and perhaps sallid.The onion got to people - even the next day I ate so much of it it leaked out my pores. .. I thought it fun .. but later cut down.lost 60 pounds in just a few months.ps I am sure there are vegi diets that push the protean up and the cals down.
well, even if you eat right doesn t mean that u eat too much of it. i heard that you should eat small meals throught out the day and have small snacks, so u don;t starve yourself and u don t ever eat. also, i dont know if u drink a lot of soda or not but if u do, replace it with water or other kinds of drinks i.e. lemonade, anywayz, drink a lot of water. never skip breakfast.....do a variety of excercises...hmm...i guess that s it, i love to eat, i eat a lot and i m 105 lbs
Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu s even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
the best way to loose a bunch of weight all at once is to dump your boyfriend... you could loose up tp 200 pounds in about five minutes... great no?
Helpful Tips to lose weight Many people are really exasperated with the same old tips for weight loss. Therefore we have added a few different tips to lose weight below:Always find a chance to move around. Do not use a vehicle if you are able to walk. Preferably run around if you have the time. Almost 70% of your calories are burned in this process. Instead of depending on magical ways to lose weight, apply your own efforts by eating less and moving more.Reduce your junk food intake and stick to wholesome foods such as fruits and vegetables. Imagine your body as the machine to burn your weight and actually perform the workouts.Do not plan dieting because it is not a solution for a longer duration. You can easily feel tired by following a particular diet pattern for a shorter duration. It reduces your rate of metabolism by draining away the water content and retaining the fat content.
