Running or swimming, which helps to lose weight faster? -

i have started swimming, i have started foing around 30 lengths in abour 10/15 minutes , twice a week but dont think it helps me lose weight ( i want to lose weight and tone up around my stomach) would goind for a 20 minute jog be better as i feel more tired when i have finished a run? thanks :-)

I have never lost weight while swimming. I find jogging better.

Depends on how fast you re swimming and what stroke you re using. Buttefly and front crawl are most aerobic. Swimming is a little easier on your body -- you won t get overheated in the water, and you re not overtaxing your joints (no impact). The water resistance gives you a bit of toning work as well.

Both are great exercises for loosing weight if you stick to a healthy diet. But I reckon you should go for the one you enjoy the most and are most likely to stick to....its the consistency see....that and having it as a part of your regular routine. Exercise helps you feel good about yourself whether loosing weight or not...thats a real bonus for anyone to have

when you are swimming you use more muscles than when you are running.

wow that first answer sucked.Green tea isnt goin to make u lose much weight.Running will help lose fluids such a water and salts and detox,As soon as you drink water from being thirsty u will replace what u lost in running. swimming will help u have zero strain on your joints and build endurance fast. they key is to get your rate up.If you are just starting out and your body isnt used to running 2 miles straight without stopping for example swimming will build you up by working those lungs and get that heart pumping.if u stop eating fast foods and taking in a lot of sugar you will lose wweight without even exercising.it is true that u take in less and burn more, but the flip side of that is your body will go into starvation mode and will store what u eat. what u want to do is drink 80 ounces of water a day( i prefer sugar free fitness water) get the powder kind it makes 2 quarts and helps flush out toxins hydrate and water actually burns fat, and eat 5 times a day small portions and healthy snacks salads, greens and fruits.cardio 3 times a week to start,,,, dont overdue it!!!! you want to treat your body good not shock it. so change diet to healthy alternatives lower carbs and sugars and drink water. as far and running versus swimming they are about the same as for as caloric burn depending on intensity and how long u keep your heart rate at the fat bruning level.if you go too hard you will break down muscle fiber so just get to a pace where u can are breathing heavier than walking but not so fast as a full sprint just keep it medium slow and concentrate on your breath control and not so much on the fact that you are running or swimming.mental strength will build u will see inches lose and feel so healthy. It will also produce the happy chemicals in your brain so you will feel energized and happy thru the day, and depression will cease. just remember to have fun and change up your routine, run in the park instead of on a treadmill or go for a brisk hike bring water and instead of hitting Mickey D s keep fruit with you so you wont be tempted bananas help in recovery and apples are a good source of fiber and sugar.do a colon cleanse too you will feel great in no time.Good Luck

running because you sweat moreplus if if you were to swim a lot you s lose wait however your shoulders would be wider

Swimming is like the best waythen trampoleeningOH and destroying planets

Both are equally as good. Swimming is a great way to tone up your arms, legs, and stomach area. However running burns fat a lot quicker. Do a mix of them both, it will help a lot.

swimming is better in that u burn more calories than when u run or jog, sweating has nothing to do with losing actual weigth, well it does water weight, but that will be gained back as soon as you drink water. And yes doing both is better than one, becasue doing only swimming your body gets used to it and wont see as mucch beneftit both is beter but if you ahd to do one swimming

Swimming wears out fewer parts. Many dedicated joggers are paying for it in their old age with joint replacements.

Swimming is better because you use nearly all your muscles.

Do both. It s good to have a mix.

Get into the habit of drinking water while you eat, say three spoons then a bit of water to wash it down, it s good for your whole digestion system and after a while you won t even have to think about it. Drinking water (or fruit juice) in between meals as well. If you drink soda pop give it up, if you drink a lot of it cut down first (quitting a sugar addiction cold turkey can cause depression). Find an exercise or activity you find fun, that way you ll be more likely to keep it up long term, it doesn t have to be something crazy like canoeing, you could just start walking your neighbours dogs or whatever you find fun. Take care of yourself!

lol i am same age as you and i weigh 95 pounds and i am taller to xDanyways just eat like an apple for breakfastsalad for lunchand another salad for dinner but make sure they have a low fat dressingand go on the tread mill 1 hour a day or even more if you want better results good luck =]

Can drinking green tea for day help me lose weight faster? -

yes or no like i need to lose 10 pounds can and will it help me

You can understand and facts about losing weight, please check the sources below.

HiGreen tea contains EGCG which is supposed to speed up metabolism. It is not going to make you lose weight on its own. It can help but you have to eat healthy and more often in smaller increments. Pick organic or matcha green tea which has more antioxidants and EGCG. Matcha is in powder form so when dissolving it in water (not boiling) you will get more benefits for your metabolism.

Oh dear, you need a real answer. NO, it doesn t. Green tea will not help you lose weight. Period.The ONLY things that effect your weight are diet and exercise, it s pretty simple. Eat 5 balanced meals a day to keep your metabolism going, don t starve yourself because your body will go into starvation mode. Which means it starts to STORE FAT. Not good. I hope that helps a little.I m not selling anything, I used to be a personal trainer and I enjoy helping others. Feel free to come and ask me anything.

No, it has slot of sugar, but anti oxidants are great for the body.

Does anyone know how i can lose weight fast at least 20 pounds in a month? -

Other than losing a limb, I don t know a safe way to lose that much in a month. In 4 months, yes that can happen. A pound is 3500 calories. To lose 20 pounds, you would need a calorie deficit of 3500 calories every day for nearly a month. This is not practical, or healthy.I suggest working out moderately, and eating healthy items, going no lower than 1200 calories a day. The only way to take weight off and keep it off is to eat healthy and exercise. Keep at it, and it will happen!

it s not really healthy to do that but drink a lot of water and exercise Good Luck!

i m thinking that s not very healthy. eat right and exercise at least an hour a day.

try tabooWHAT to eat for losing weight? Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.* Print these lists. They will be your ... Bible , from now on !* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.* Try eat mostly fresh vegs fruits (whenever possible, of course)* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.? Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!* Avoid fat meat? Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don t EVER exclude bread from your diet!? Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits* Don t cheat ... NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc! * EVEN if they have low fat indication... They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!? About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta... you know!* Don t eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I m not a low carb addict, but I ve noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads... with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian). if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle burn . A gym is also an option, but I don t know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.That is a good place to start... if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you... if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hoursthe most important thing is you don t lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you wantyou might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.comgood luck

Try the South Beach Diet. My brother did it and he lost 20 LBS in 2 weeks. All he did was stay on stage 1 a little longer then what it said. Try getting a book about the diet, it really worked for him.

- Drink mostly water and cut out all soft drinks and tea. - cut out all sugar (except for fruit)- Exercise 6 days a week (cardiovascular like walking is the best). Start for 15 minutes and add 5 minutes a day until you are up to an hour.- eat protein without bread (you can have veggies and butter and salad dressing, etc, but no bread) and eat mostly protein.- eat bread alone with no butter, etc and then only 2-3 hours either before or after your protein meal.- only eat until you are full - don t finish your plate.- and don t eat anything after 6p.m. if you go to bed anytime after 9p.m. you need to let your body digest food before you sleep.I did all the above and lost 15 pounds per month for three months (even during Thanksgiving and Christmas!). I ve kept it off for 2 years now too!

water and exercise and stop the sweets and cokes

RUN, eat nutritive food, do household works, skipping, cycling, swimming are best exercises one can do. and don t forget to some toning exercises or you will suffer from strech marks.

I was just reading this article http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Lose-We��it s about ways to lose weight quickly and seems perfect for what you re looking for. In the article (if you want the short version) it refers to another site:http://trustusreviews.com/carbrotation See what you think. I can see why it would be a better option than most (as you don t need to work out like a dog or eat those lame celebrity yo-yo diets that consist of water and rabbit seed!)

To lose weight successfully,you should know the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!Yes,it is really important.You should know the truth:1.Low Fat Foods DON\ T always WORK...2.Low Calorie Diets DON\ T always WORK...3.Low Carb Plans DON\ T always WORK...I followed the guide above and I lost 7 lbs in 11 days and then 30 lbs in less than a month.I followed the guide on: ---http://www.fitnessreport.infoHope it can help you.

Get your mom s permission - she may want to do this with you? Diet is key to losing fat while keeping your muscle mass. Your body needs protein every 3 to 4 hours to feed the muscle which burns off stored fat. You can safely and quickly lose 9 pounds every 11 days on this healthy and satisfying diet plan. The computer will write the diet meals/snack menu for you so there s nothing to do but eat what is planned for you and you can download it immediately. Drink at least 64 ounces of water each day. Remember: calories in minus calories burned = gain or lost weight at the end of each day.

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).

It is a possibility to lose weight fast but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight rapidly then you will almost certainly put it all back on again just as rapidly. The sole diet that really delivered for me was green tea, it can be viewed in the resource box underneath, they have a few free trials left, it was reported in Reader s Digest and CNN. I worked off 25 pounds, it really does produce success!

At your age its very unhealthy to lose a lot of weight and losing weight fast is just out of question!I need to know your height and weight...but here s what you can do to get in better shape:-eat healthy foods.try to have a healthier diet by eating lean protein(fish/meat/chicken/egg whites),healthy carbs(veggies and fruits)and healthy fats(nuts/peanut butter/olive oil).drink more water.in doing so you need to make sure you are not over eating these foods cuz even though they are healthy they can make you gain fat.dont starve yourself.just eat enough food so that you wont feel too much stuffed or too empty.-Exercise...of course.if you are very over weight start by walking.then when you got used to it you can swim/run/skip/etc.45min/day 5-6 days per week should do the trick.to add more intensity you can also do pushups,body weight lunges and crunches.

you re 14, N it s not the right time to lose weight, but there s still some good ways for girls in your age,massage: yeah, it s quiet comfortable, but costs time(N ure a student)sports: it s healthy, but can u persist in... well do phsical exercises for at least 30minutes each day( heavily sweating ). control Ur diet at the same time, more GREEN vegetables(cooked is the best) N fruit N fish, less butter (no butter is ok), sugar, body fat, oil, no soft drinks, no deserts,plenty of meat. last... um... 2months, u will have a big big surprise!slimming cream: i don t recommend! so many side effects.... Orzsoaking and sauna: believe it or not, it can lose weight. but not obvious, it can keep u thin and healthy!

im 14 too! and i really want to lose weight fast and ive tryed loads of things and tbh the only thing that has really worked is not eating any snacks and if i have to i eat a bowel of ceral of a break fast bar and i did notice i lost a bit of weight in a week and a half and i was doin really and had noticed a big differnce but since easter iv just put it all back on and im stuck on chocolate eggs atm lol

If you wish to grow thinner, diminish your dinner!

well if you are tall that puts on more weight but you are old enough to join a gym and just eat healthy and you will be fine

What s you re height and weight?

Cut off your legs.
