How to lose weight and not turn it into muscle? -

I am 25 years old and have alwasy been lucky to be very slim. I have noticed over the last couple of years I have started to gain a little more body fat and I am starting to get much more wobbly. Although I am still very slim I would like to be as slim and toned as I was before. I have started doing personal training once a fortnight (30 mins) and 2 group personal training sessions each week (1 hour) and I have noticed that all it seems to be doing is building up my muscles and I am not actually getting any smaller. I have alwasy been very lean, but it seems like I am getting bigger from all the training which is definitely not what I want to be doing. My jeans are starting to feel tighter on me around the legs and are uncomfortable which is unusal for me.I have a fast metabolism and I eat lots of small meals throughout the day. I generally eat pretty well.Just wondering if anyone can give me some ideas as to how I can tone up but still remain really lean. I just want to get rid of the fat and not really build much muscle. Thanks!

Try a Low GI DietA low GI diet is an excellent method of burning fat quickly. This diet encourages individuals to consume high amounts of foods with low rankings on the Glycemic Index. These foods are nutritious and will aid your body in burning fats and calories at a quicker pace. This diet includes many of your favorite fruits, vegetable, meats, dairy, and grain products.

Get enough sleep. Most people need about 8 hours per night. If you re not allowing your body to recuperate each night you have very little chance of successfully losing body fat quickly and safely.

more cardio less strenght training? Get looser fitting jeans?

Did you know that surplus weight is not constantly thanks to surplus body fat? There can be a lot of additional weight simply lying around in the pipes. The newest diet supplement will flush out the pipes and help you to reduce as much as twenty pounds, very often from the waistline (show me a person who does not need to reduce some inches from their waistline LOL!!). There is a risk free trial offered at http://rikump.fatfreestore.info I ve been using it for 2 weeks now and it s definately having an effect!!

Begin a focused, efficient, and intense exercise routine. It s best to recruit the help of a personal trainer, either at the gym or through the use of a ready-made, trainer-designed quick weight loss routine (such as the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle program). No matter what, do some form of moderate-to-intense cardio 3-4 times per week and perform strength training with light-to-medium weights at least twice per week.

What do you do for a detox diet? (without pills!) Anyone know a good one where you can lose weight fast? -

I want a realistic one (like not just orange peels for a month) where I can loose about 10lbs fast.Thankss :]

My aunt uses this herbal tea that she got from china town and swears by it. She lost 15 in 2 weeks. I just know its in an orange cylinder container with a girl in a blue bikini.

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 = )

Detox diets are useless. Eat fewer calories, exercise more, and try to lose a pound a week -- a rate which you can maintain as long as you wish. It amounts to a deficiency of 500 calories per day between what you ingest and what you burn.

10-12 lbs a month is totally doable...just eat healthy and eat on time...hit the gym 6 days a week doing both cardio and toning exercises in moderation...you gotta stick to this routine to avoid the 10 lbs from coming back anyway...

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
