How to lose weight effectively while on crutches? -

I ve had surgery and am on crutches. I have put on weight since the op but obviously can t go running etc and this is making me really down as I ve been on crutches 4month and getting to the point where clothes are tight.I need a quick fix just to jump start my weight loss until I can resume my normal fitness plan. I walk as much as I can which has improved my upper body due to the crutches but it s my lower body that s the problem plus I have to spend most of my time sat to elevate my leg which isn t helping!!Any advice would be welcomed!

since your on crutches your diet is critical now why dont you focus on upper body work outs cruthches or a wheelchair should be able to build up the upper body and you can still burn calories just figure out what you can do and keep your diet in check

Eat healthy!It s really not that hard, and you will feel sooo much better, and look a lot better aswell.If you re craving Ice cream, have Frozen Yogurt instead. Just as good,if not better.Instead of chocolate,have a cappacuino.Instead of gummies,have fruit,like papaya,tangarines,banana s... home made milkshakes,with no sugar added.And eating a boiled egg for breakfast,is filling,because of all the protein.Make sure you eat healthy foods,and don t get off track.Strawberries are really low in calories.Celery has almost nothing.Carrots are really low in calories aswell.http://www.calorie-count.com/forums/post��Check that out, and read the replies.Very useful!Good luck :]

Best way to lose weight fast is to combine exercise (3-4 times per week) like cycling, running, skating and a good diet.There s a diet that claims one can lose 9lbs every 11days and It s very simple to follow. You can get more information at http://www.DietForHotBody.comGood Luck!Ren��

How to lose weight fast? -

i am 12years old 5 2 and a half and i am 141poundsi want to get to 90pounds by march ps have anyways to make really curly hair grow faster

try the Lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr�� and Merry Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEZXL1gX��

first of all:congratulations for caring about yourself!i was once in your situation and haven t completed the journey yet but im getting there. last summer (june of 08) i was 5 feet and 148 lbs(ickk) but now i am 5 3 and 120 lbs (better but not fantastic) Its taken a while but id say it was worth it. all i have done is reduced my calorie intake and increased my working out. i know we all want to be skinny by a short amount of time but its more reasonable to think like this. - it is considered healthy to lose 1-2 lbs per week. there are 52 weeks in a year. say you lose 1 pound a week for a year. then you would be BELOW your weight loss goal and you would lose the weight in a time that would make it healthy. the fact that it would take a year to lose the weight would show people that you dont have an eating disorder and that you have control over your body. so- WORK HARD EAT LESS. :))good luck

Hate to tell you, but there s no way you ll get to 90 from 141 by March! If you manage to lose that much weight... it won t have been in a remotely healthy way!! You need to watch what you eat and work out...

Eat 5 times a day, smaller meals.Stay off the junk food and any sweet drinksDo something physical for 1 hour a day (walking, riding bike, sports, etc)

Is it good to cut out all the processed foods to lose weight fast? -

and just start eating only fresh foods? What fresh foods are good to eat everyday? Im really trying to start a healthy diet...i want to lose 40 lbs by summer time.

It s a good start, largely because by only cooking with and eating fresh, natural ingredients, you know exactly what you re eating; with processed foods, it s easy to think you re eating something nutritious and really not be.The five main food groups are carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, dairy, protein and fats. You should eat a balanced diet taking from all food groups, not cutting out on anything, but making sure you eat plenty of unrefined carbohydrates (brown bread, brown rice, wholemeal pasta, oats etc), plenty of lean protein (fish, poultry, tofu products) and lots of fruit and vegetables. Fats should be eaten in moderation, with greater concentration of unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, and not necessarily removed.The occasional takeaway or processed ready meal, eaten in an overall healthy balanced diet is fine. Though mostly, once you get into the habit of checking ingredients in what you eat, and making up your own meals, you get out of the habit of relying upon processed food. The stuff you make is so much tastier!

Well you shouldn t try to lose weight fast. Losing weight and keeping it off is a gradual process. But yes, eating fresh food instead of processed foods is great. Especially watch out for high fructose corn syrup, they try to sneak that crap into a lot of stuff.

How can i lose weight fast? -

I have about 4 months to lose 40 lbs... Any ideas/information to help me would be great!

Go on a veggie juice diet, but it is important to make your own veggie juice from raw veggies, don t buy V8 or something. It s extremely nutritious and very healthy. Combine this with 5 hours per week of physical exercise (biking, jogging, walking, hiking, w/e you want) and you will lose the weight not problem.

drink plenty water, cut calories, n excersise like crazy i think that will do it

CRACK NA JUST JOKIN

IF POSSIBLE Go for BILLY BOOTY CAMP..exercise everyday and control your eating habit.,avoid fries,fat,and going to bed immediately after eating. goodluck

How to lose weight the quickest? -

* Take one pound at a time* Set Reachable Goals* Stay off the scales* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin* Fat Free?* Drink plenty of water* Reward yourself* Seek help if you need it* Watch your portions* Eat your food slowly- Healthy life every day!

Stop using remote controls. Remote controls are the bane of a prospective weight loser. They may be remarkable gadgets by themselves but from the weight loss point of view, they just aren��t very helpful. They really encourage us to take a laid back kind of attitude towards life itself. In fact if remote controls were not there, the television would not have become so popular. It is because of remote controls that people can remain where they are and switch from one channel to the other. And they only have to twitch a finger muscle to achieve this. Now, I have nothing against multi channel television sets but what I strongly advocate is that you get up from where you are and change the channel of the TV each time you want to do so. The same thing holds true for other remote controls as well. As it is we have remote controlled TVs, DVD players, A/Cs, garage doors, gateways and what not. The next thing we know is that we will have remote controlled people as well.

Do not slouch in your chair but try to maintain an erect posture with your tummy tucked in. Slouching is a very bad habit. Not only is it bad for your back but it also gives you a very flabby figure. It is your way of saying yes to a comfortable, weight-gaining pose. Make it a point to always sit as erect as you can. It is also a terrific way to ward off back problems.

Psst. I would like to let you in on a secret. As it is I understand that most of us tend to put on weight particularly in the mid section, right. It is the tummy that seems to have a mind of its own. Well I will tell you a sure shot method to reduce the flab around the waist line. Mind you this doesn��t hold true for post pregnancy tummies. This is what you have to do. Breathe in air as strongly as you can and as you do so, tuck in your tummy as much as you can. Hold it like this for a few seconds and then slowly release your breath taking care not to let out your tummy. Try to keep breathing like this at least fifty or sixty times in a day. In fact breathe like this whenever you can remember to do so. After the first day, you should feel the muscles of your stomach tightening each time you do this. Then you know that you are on the right track. If you practice this without fail for 20 days, at the end of the twentieth day, you will have lost at least an inch.

* Take one pound at a time* Set Reachable Goals* Stay off the scales* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin* Fat Free?* Drink plenty of water* Reward yourself* Seek help if you need it* Watch your portions* Eat your food slowly
