Can i lose weight by drinking a protein shake or high calorie shake in place of a meal? -

i am about 200 pounds and i wish to be around 190-180 by september,along with exercise could this help me lose weight faster?

Usually losing weight is simple numbers. You need to know your basic metabolic rate (BMR). Once you know your BMR then you can design a diet lower in calories than your BMR.But.... it is not always that simple. You could also have metabolic anomalies or even hormone irregularities that can make losing weight virtually impossible. Start with the simple stuff. Calculate your BMR right here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calcul�� then alter your diet if necessary.Now, if you don t see results after that you may look into the hormonal or metabolic areas. Also make sure you are being realistic, and that you do have weight to use. Don t forget... celebrities use tons of drugs and have personal trainers! We should all be so lucky 8)I have been doing the crossfit workouts and they have shredded my body big time (removed my body fat). They are pretty tough, but the results are quick!give them a try and see what you think. I usually do the WOD shttp://crossfit.com/http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercis��Also to tone muscle (obviously you want a little muscle tone which is very sexy when done right) make sure you are getting plenty of protein to aid in recovery and building of new muscle tissueHere is a link for proteinhttp://www.buybulkwhey.com/

Technically you can, but its really not a good thing to do. Protein shakes are Supplements . This means that they should supplement a diet, not replace it. Body builders and weight trainers use protein shakes to get extra protein throughout the day when they re short on time, or just to boost the amount they ve had alongside solid foods. Protein shakes by themselves don t have the full range of nutrients you get from a healthy diet, and a lot of shelf bought protein mixes are loaded with sugars which will have the opposite effect of what you do (they re made like this to boost insulin levels immediately after a heavy workout - not intended for snacking on). As for high calorie shake? They re not called weight gainers for no reason! You definitely don t want one of these if you re trying to lose weight! They are calorie dense to help you pack on size, not lose it.Your best bet is to do some regular exercise and eat 3-6 healthy meals a day. By September you should be able to drop about 10lbs if you re strict with HEALTHY food choices and exercise.

What you need to do is go to a website called Bobybuilding.com and get your info on that site. It will show you what to do in order to lose weight with and without Prot shakes. But if you do drink a prot shake inplace of meal you are messing up due to the fact your body needs carbs so when you drink that shake in place of a meal find something with carbs that is a small meal. Best bet is to eat a small bowl of pasta.

replacing meals with protein shakes isn t really a good way because your not giving your body the nutrients or energy it needs from just protein. try a small healthy meal with a protein shake, as well as exercise you should meet your goal.

Yes thats a good idea to lose weight. Depending on the protein shake (make it a low calorie so you dont gain weight) most have a lot of vitamins and neutriants. You should drink one before you go to sleep though.

if u eat much calories and than burn: wait gainif u eat less calories and than burn: wait lose

How to lose weight Fast? -

I need help on losing weight, everytime i try .. i keep up then i screw up.. i am 5 3 and i weigh 172 pounds...please help...

You should try a nutritional cleansing program. It cleanses any harmful toxins from your body and helps burn fat. There is no stimulants drugs or ephedra. It gives you more energy and helps you build muscle. I didn��t like to spend the whole day at the gym and not lose a pound it was very discouraging but I needed to lose weight. I also had tried every new diet that was out there and i would lose some weight but then it would come right back. So I had this friend that would tell me every time I would see her to do this cleanse and i always say no but when nothing else worked and I was at my lowest point I called her up and said ok. I add the cleansing program to some light walking that I would try to do everyday and I have lost 10lbs and 2inchs of each thigh which for any woman is a blessing in its self. I feel great! They have great weight loss stories on the web site and if you watch the video it explains how the whole cleansing program works. I love it because I��m getting results and all of my family is to(it really is fool proof). They also have a great support team so you don��t feel like you��re all alone in your weight loss journey.

I need to lose weight fast without a diet pill or diet stuff!!!? -

i need to lose weight fast! i don t want to do jenny cregg, pink patch, weight watchers or anything like that!!!! i need to lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks! please! i don t care if i need to starve myself! please please help!

Be careful with diet pills--I ve had some bad experiences trying some of them. What I did find to work really well though was a natural supplement of Acai berry which I actually saw on Oprah and Rachel Ray. It was a while ago, but I ordered a free sample from http://ultraacaiberry.com/y/ and it s been great for helping increase my energy, metabolism, and keeping my body healthy! I ve lost weight and I feel much, much better than I did when I was on the pills.

You cannot lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks in any healthy manner.It is in fact, DANGEROUS!Focus on a healthy diet, and exercises. Consult a doctor, gym instructor, or nutritionist to help you get best results in shortest time in the most healthy way possible.But why 2 weeks? If its for something like a prom, then try to find the right clothing, or dress that will compliment your body. If thats the case, find a dressmaker that will help you bring out the best in your body.Good luck, but don t starve yourself, you will dangerously set yourself up for complications for the future. I m sure you know very well what they are.

go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on yourinitial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don teat wheat then you don t eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, youdon t eat junk food, and you don t eat biscuits. But your diet isstill balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points orto buy special meals or plans.

NO TWO PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME FINGERPRINTS, LIP PRINTS,OR VOICE PRINTS. NO TWO BLADES OF GRASS OR NOWFLAKES ARE ALIKE. BECAUSE I FELT THAT ALL PEOPLE WERE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER, I DID NOT THINK IT WAS LOGICAL THAT THEY SHOULD EAT THE SAME FOODS. IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME THAT SINCE EACH PERSON WASHOUSED IN A SPECIAL BODY WITH DIFFERENT STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES AND NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS, THE ONLY WAY TO MAINTAIN HEALTH OR CURE ILLNESS WAS TO ACCOMMODATE TO THAT PARTICULAR PATIENT S SPECIFIC NEEDS.Your blood type is the key that unlocks the door to the mysteries of health, disease, longevity, physical vitality and emotional strength.

Three steps that have really helped me are dieting, exercising, and the correct weight loss supplement for losing weight. Focus on those three things and you will lose weight considerably. I exercise 30 mins a day along with taking Proactol, a natural weight loss supplement that I saved money on at theweightlossplace.com Good luck and stay focused = )

sounds like you need to hit the bricks. literally. start running. OJ first thing, run 3 miles. high protein breakfast. after a light lunch, work out again with weights when you get home, rest your legs. drink lots of water. chicken breast for dinner. water for dessert. day two, repeat.the cardio right after you wake up will set your body s metabolism, the muscles from the weights will consume fat, too.

eat carbs in the morning (potatoes, pasta or bread) and work them off during the day- NO BUTTER, dairy is fat and mucus. fruit, muesli and soy yoghurt for lunchsteamed vegetables for dinner (i d recommend no meat whatsoever it doesn t digest well and it s full of fat.)eat plenty of greens

Just eat your regular meals, no snacking in between, drink water and run.

How can i lose weight faster? -

well im like 6 feet tall and i weight 180 and i been running and it seems that i dont lose weight and plus i only eat once a day. so does any1 know how i can lose weight faster?

running is a good start but i would not suggest eating once a day eat 3 times but a little less be consistent let your body know its getting enough carbs as for losing weight faster wear a trash bag when you run, spit a lot more, only drink water as much as you can all these should help i used to box and when i would need to lose a couple pounds fast this would really help

If you are only eating once a day that may be your problem. You need to keep your metabolism going by having at least a little bit of food every 3-4 hours. If you don t get the proper nutrients then your body goes into starvation mode trying to store fat, not burn it.

maybe you should eat less per meal 2 or 3 times a day,,,also increase your cardio by running an hour a day

if you drink a tea called herbal slimming tea you should lose 4 - 5 pounds in 3 days or so.

I need help too lose weight fast i am only 17? -

my weight keeps moveing up and down and i am not happy with it! i work out now and the but never find the time! is there any reliable diets i can try to stay slim?please help xox

I know I sound like an old granny, but don t try to lose weight fast. To lose weight you need to use up more calories than you consume. That means you need to eat less, eat the same but better choices, speed up your metabolism and / or exercise. Buy a calorie counter book and write down everything you eat in a day. You might be surprised how many calories you re actually eating! It could be 2000, 3000 or more. You want to eat around 1500 or so to lose weight. You don t have to calorie count forever, just to give you an idea of how much you should actually be eating. You ll soon see that you can only eat small amounts of bad foods before your 1500 is almost used up, but you can eat loads of fruit and vegetables. Don t deny yourself the bad stuff, but make it a treat not a regular thing.Try to do at least 30 minutes of exercise a day. If you can t do 30 minutes, do short bursts when you can. 5 minutes of ab exercises when you wake up, a few push ups at lunch, a 10 minute walk here and 10 minutes dancing at home there. Drink loads of water - you can actually lose weight just from consuming enough. The weight you lose will be water weight (from previous fluid retention) but you ll feel lighter and look better.Crunches, push ups, tricep dips etc (which you can do at home) will really tone you up and make you feel a million dollars. Even before the weight comes off you will look slimmer and firmer and feel great.

walk instead of driving,Don t try those fast diets they can harm your health.Just be happy with the body God gave you.Watch your callories is a good way to saftly loose

You can not loose weight fastYour control of weight is governed by how -- long--- LONG ----------- you do a work out And the hand to mouth disease You have to control YOUR arm and HAND muscles do not help when moving in this fashion UP Eat UP Eat UP Eat

Got for a 2 year run like Forest Gump did.

eat healthy. many people think that if they skip a meal its better, but then your body will crave things that you normally wouldnt. keep your metabolism up by eating lean chicken, fruits and veggies. foods that contain alot of water will fill you up. like watermelon and oranges. and as long as you do 30 min cardio 3-5 times a week you body will naturally lose the excess weight. But to be honest, your body is beautiful the way it is, big or small. make sure you lose weight for yourself and your health. your only 17 and your body still has not completely stopped growing. if you hurt your body now it can affect the way you will be when your body does fully develope.

Im 13 years old and i weigh 192 now im ashamed of this and id like to know what i should do to lose weight.? -

i ve been running and doing sit ups and trying to be active but i need a better diet. i dont care to lose weight fast im not in a hurry i just need some positive help. no harsh comments please i beat my self up about it enough. my height is 5 2

what you need to do is to follow the food pyramid, ask your parents to follow this for you, then do some exercise like cycling or walking to school (if possible) and go to the gym

If you know right diet info and method, diet is easy. If you are serious, you must have fast diet method that works for you. I recommend you my diet method for you. I lost 14 pounds in 30 days and it was very fast. You can do it too. You can get more info at link below.

more activity, dont sit around the house and make yourself bored; boredom=eating...Just know that it is a slow process or should be. Get a routine going and stick to it. Stay off the carbs as well as you can.

Fill up on low energy density foodsFoods like vegetables, salad, fruit, chunky soups, low fat pasta sauces, low fat dairy foods, porridge, vegetable-based casseroles, beans, fish and lean meat are great building blocks of every meal and snack. They have a low energy density (low number of calories per bite), most have a low GI (glycaemic index) and all are not only healthy but help you feel fuller for longer.

Get a copy of Rosemary Conley Diet Fitness Club magazine and go on line.It is full of low fat, calorie counted, healthy recipes and eating plans. Also ideas for exercise and motivation.Don t beat yourself up about it any more, just start a new life of healthy eating and exercise right now. You can start by running up down the stairs, jigging about to music, doing star jumps etc every time the ads come on TV.Good luck and bear in mind you are only 13, so enjoy life.

Become pro-ana :)

Will this combination help me to lose weight? -

If I combine the 6 week body makeover, lipovox, and wu-yi, would that help me lose weight fast? Thanx.....and please, no smart comments.

Wow! Thats several different things all at once! I have no idea.What I did is read The Weight Loss Cure, by Kevin Trudeau and follow the diet plan. I know a lot of people have bad things to say about it, but my husband and I have both been doing it for 3 weeks and so far have lost 19.8 lbs (me) and 20.2 lbs (him) without exercise. We both feel great and its really easy. People who do this diet average 80%ish of them keeping the weight off for several years. I know people who tried this diet (marketed diff of course) in the 70s and haven t gained the weight back!I encourage you to read his book and see what you think!!

I have done this for a long time, and I can tell you that basic exercise beats anything else hands down. Meaning, just run 5 days a week for about 30 minutes to an hour (work up to it as needed), and you will be shocked at the results...
