Why do men lose weight faster than women? -

My dad has lost 26 pounds by just reversing his diet, I ve lost about 22 but I have to work like a horse to budge a bloody pound off. He doesn t exercise at all, I get at least 45 minutes of exercise a day.Why is it that men lose weight faster than women?

could possibly be that guys have more testosterone which may help burn fat, although, i m just speculating

testosterone, muscle mass, metabolism. ah, and the mos important one. hormones! our hormones cause our weight to fluctuate faster, but shed slower.

Women have the babies, and we hold on to fat stores in our bodies for that purpose. Its nature. Men got it easy!

i heard it s cuzz of their muscle mass

its partly to do with are metabolic rate..e.g. my friend can eat like a horse, never puts on a poundme if i ate the same amount , i d be a lot bigger than i should be.it s party to do with him excercising a LOT more, as the metabolic rate goes up..as for men and women, well our bodies are different also.try drinking a pint or 2 of water BEFORE every meal, that will make your tummy fuller and you will eat smaller portions..

men are naturally more muscular (thank you testosterone!). The more muscles the more calories you burn.

Men generally have more muscle than women, which in turn burns more fat. Also, men often eat/crave protein more often than women, and women s bodies are designed to store fat to support babies, so it sucks for us I guess.

because man do more exercise than women and girls body is more delikate and lazy

It s because they have more muscle mass I believe. Sucks, doesn t it?

What fat burner would you recommend to help lose weight fast with diet and exercise? -

I work out hard and consistently including lots of cardio and have reached a plateau with my weight loss but need to lose about 15-30 pounds fast! what fat burner would help with this?

Try the Lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

It is possible to lose weight rapidly but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight rapidly then you will probably put it all back on again just as rapidly. The one method which really worked for me is wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box underneath, they have a small number of free trials remaining, it was highlighted in Fox News and CNN. I melted away 20 pounds, it really does work!

Whats a healthy diet to lose weight fast? -

Has anyone been on a diet and seen results fast?

Here then are the 3 most important tips to incorporate in a balanced diet to lose weight fast:1. Drink WaterLet��s start with the most important, but often neglected tip for losing weight fast drinking lots of fresh water. Still or sparkling it doesn��t matter, but you must drink plenty of it. Why drink water?1. Fends off hunger pangsIt acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration. Many huger pangs are simply thirst signals linked to de hydration, so by drinking lots of fresh water throughout the day you will avoid these hunger cravings2. Metabolizes fatMore importantly water helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out toxins waste.When the body receives in sufficient water the liver which works to provide stored fat for energy switches to helping the kidneys, because of this extra burden becomes less efficient at metabolizing fat.3.Burns caloriesDrinking two liters of iced water a day burns about 60 calories.The body has to work to raise that waters temperature to your body��s temperature and this burns fat.

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.

The best is a diet that isn t really a diet- but a lifestyle change. Journal your calories. Keep a good ratio of carbs/fats/proteins. Figure out how many calories you need in a day. It s a combination of how much you take in/burn off as well as the quality and types of foods that you take in. Aim for lean proteins, whole fruits and veggies, fat free or low fat dairy, and whole grains. Keep in mind, that many calculators are just estimates and probably won t account for exercise.NY (below me): I passionately disagree with your statement. Carbohydrates are the main fuel our body uses. I can t believe that you would recommend cutting out all carbohydrates all together. Cutting back.. sure, but not all together!

Take the slow road and change your eating habits and lifestyle. Make the following change for a better life. ready?EAT LESSEXERCISE MORE

Have any ideas on how to lose weight? -

I am a bit overweight. I m 5 5, I weigh 158 and I m 12 yrs old. I do exercise 3-4 days a week. I do cardio 30 min.,but in total I exercise 1 hour and 30 minutes. I started dieting in the begging of November, but I m not really sure what and when to eat. Help please!

Just keep doing your best with exercise, and try to eat the right things. Don t eat BIG meals, try to eat smaller portions. And you re only 12, your body isn t done changing yet, so you still might grow into yourself in a few years. Just be careful. Don t starve yourself. Good luck to you and stay healthy!

Cut empty calories like soda and candy, you don t get anything out of them. Also think about switching from white bread to wheat and reducing your consumption of it. In general, the best things you can eat will be fruits and veggies with a special emphasis on leafy greens. It is important if you are exercising properly to make sure that your intake of protein is high enough, for that things like eggs, tuna, and yogurt are preferable. The best time to eat protein is about ten to fifteen minutes after a workout. Also if you try eating more, smaller meals, it will help keep your metabolism high all day long which is definitely a good thing.

well its GREAT that you work out that often and that long, but your young and when you start working out, unless your significantly overwieght which i dont think you are, it usually takes about 3 months for actual changes you can see start to happen, mabey your body ust isnt used to working out and it has to take it slowly, so eventually you will see changes, keep at it. As for your diet, fish is a great thing to eat for dinner, salads, you know, low fat snacks and limit when you have food. when you get up have a whole wheat cereal and a bannana, for luch have a salad, although at school it will be tough but there are things to choose from, pack a healthy lunch, and for dinner, remember portion control, eat in moderation and you will se progress. i hope i helped(:

for a workable diet here is what my dietician suggests . follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50 per cent veg, 25 per cent carb.remember potatoes, corn and peas come in carbs category, 25 per cent protein.this will prevent cravings too.have a protein shake if you like too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit ideally berries, or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like. get a pedometer and try to take 10,000 steps everyday.

Eat low fat foods, like fruit and grains. Only cut out junk food, not everything else.Also, eating small, frequent snacks THROUGHOUT the day will help you lose weight, as doing this speeds up your metabolism. You re already getting sufficient exercise, it seems, so you re on your way.

i honestly think its horrible that the industry is gettin so bad on the fact that people are obese in this country to a point where kids r now on diets. hun ur 12 u shouldnt be worrying about ur weight or the way u look right now. yes it is good to keep urself in shape and to be healthy but not to that extent. just love urself and enjoy ur childhood while you can because you will be driving and cashing checks before you know it.

Well, you re already doing a good job with all the exercise. You ll probably won t see results really fast. But you ll probably see a little in the end of the month. And you should be happy. =] Reward yourself by going to the mall with your best friend, and buy some clothes for your progress. =]

marketamerica.com has a weight loss supplement that can help you lose weight. its called Transitions; combined with healthy eating and exercise you re bound to lose pounds healthily.

Whether you like him or not, you have to respect Dr Phil just because of one thing.He continually asks his guests�� one simple question: How s it working for you? Success in anything comes from FINDING WHAT WORKS then DOING WHAT WORKS.I am going to reveal to you the Secret Weight Loss Formula that Celebrity personal trainer don t want you to know about.Before I reveal the secret, first I need to explain to you that there is process that your body goes through to burn body fat. So how does your body burn fat?It is a two steps process and in order to lose body fat you need to:1.Release the fat from the fat cells and only then2.You can burn the fatHow does your body release the fat from the cells?Before you can turn your body into a fat burning machine, here what needs to happen: your body fat need to be released from the fat cells. You can accomplish this step successfully with your nutrition program. Here are some specific tips that you can apply right away to achieve that.1.Eat 4-6 small, frequent meals and never skip meals.2.Eat natural foods; avoid processed refined foods3.Eat lean proteins with each meal.4.Eat more complex carbs, fruits vegetables.5.Drink plenty of waterHow does your body burn the fat? If you started exercising and then reached a plateau, you have probably burned more muscle tissue than fat with your workout. This is the worst thing that could happen.Let me explain. Less Muscle = slower metabolism = Weight loss plateauThen you end up in the yo-yo dieting bandwagon.How to burn the *fat* instead of burning muscles.You need to do some MODERATE cardio training. The key word here is moderate. Doing too much cardio can be detrimental and I am sure you have seen those people that are doing cardio on a daily basis and still not getting anywhere. The result is a low metabolism. Low metabolism means, your body fat is not going anywhere, anytime soon. Here is what you need to do:1.Do some moderate cardio training; the key word here is moderate2.Never diet but consume little fewer calories that you will burn (No starvation diets, Please...)Your muscle tissue is your best friend when it comes to burn body fat. You need to preserve muscle tissues in order to keep losing weight. Most people go on a starvation diet combined a lot of cardio to lose weight. At first it may seems like this is working because they are losing scale weight. Now think about, scale weight does not tell you if weight loss is from fat, water or muscle tissue. Scale weight by itself is not a good indicator of success.To maintain muscle tissues you need to:1.Do some resistance training. (This is not optional, it is mandatory)The secretNow that you understand the whole fat burning process, I am going to reveal to you how celebrity personal trainers do to get those amazing transformations. The strategy is to combine all the steps that I outlined so the body works as a unit. First, the trainer makes sure that his client is eating the proper food on a regular basis. By that, I mean eating so that fat WILL be released from the fat cells. Then and only then they exercise the body to burn the fat. The important idea to take from this is: The fat can ONLY be burned after it is released from the fat cells .If you know anybody that has been exercising like a maniac and they don t seem to go anywhere, now you know why.The reverse is also true, do you know somebody that is eating properly but they are not including any resistance training combined with moderate cardio. Now you know why their body still looks the same.All you need to do is to combine a nutrition program, along with some MODERATE cardio program and maintain muscle mass with resistance training. Everything is combined with one goal in mind: Turning your body into an Automatic fat burning machine. It is that easy.There is a final step to that process and it is tracking your results.Remember Dr Phil; don��t keep doing something that is not working. Tracking helps, you determine what works for YOU and what does not. Without tracking, you have no idea on how to change your strategy.Don t like the results you have been getting? Then CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY.How do you change your strategy? How do you find one that works? DO NOT continue doing something just because THEY say it s the way things should be done. Allow yourself to choose the solution that will work for you, regardless of what it may be. The only way for you to know who is right is to measure your progress and ACTUALLY track your results.CHANGE IS HARD, but it s also worth it. Not getting results makes change EXTREMELY HARD.Get support from friends, family or a coach who knows about body transformation. Losing weight is not as hard at it seems once you know what works for YOU. Visit http://www.charlesblain.com for The Best Weight Loss Exercises .

Why do you need to lose weight?I think as long as you work out on a regular basis and eat healthy, that s all that matters.But if you want to try losing weight, try exercising more and eating better.I don t think you can actually lose weight fast. It s a slow, gradual process.

What I did to lose weight fast without pills/surgery was to cut my caloric intake, eat more protein very minimal carbs, and run like mad on the treadmill! Also, I tried the After 6 Diet. Here s how it goes: you can t eat anything anymore after 6pm, you just have to satisfy any hunger pangs with liquid such as water or low-cal beverages. It might work for you.

Dance!and have fun with it if you have a dog run around the yard with it.DON T go on a crash diet and drink A LOT of water!GOOD LUCK!

The AB lounge, Six Second Abs, excercise on a daily basis, don t eat too much fast-food. Finally, go to the nearest GNC store.

RUn and dont eat as much like not that much fat Im doing the same thing my best advice join a sport or something to get you active?

Two words WORK-OUT

Drink lots of water.

Cut down your eating habits dramatically. Smoothies are very filling. You can have it as a meal and then just have a small dinner.Also, exercise and drink a lot of water.

hi dear,read this article as it might help you , it s talking about how to lose weight in just few days, in a safe and healthy way , here is a link to that article and i hope that it helps.http://overweightdoc.wordpress.com/2008/��

Cut your diet down to 600 calories day for 5 days.Nothing, Absolutely nothing works to loose weight, other then taking in less calories then your body is burning.You actually can survive on water alone for up to 10 days without any damage, but I wouldn t go so far.

drink green tea once day/night (i like hot) have no s: junk food, and soda.drink mostly water and green tea hot or cold I don t have dessert anymore just a piece a Chocolate with milk

hm, try going on a jog before school or work.- make sure you eat 3 servings of both fruits and vegetables- limit to what you eatfor example : if your @ a bbq and you usually take 2 hot dogs, take 1.

You need to exercise a lot and eat really healthy food. Try avoiding sweets. Join weight watcher and they help you loose weight fast. Please don t not eat because that doesn t help at all. the most important thing to do is exercise.
