How to Get a Chihuahua to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Hi Jessica I know 290 pounds is overweight but you can certainly achieve weight loss especially at your age.There's no quick solution or magic for weight loss. What's more important than a diet plan is your eating habits. For example drink a cup of water before each meal, and eat slowly.I've seen my friends whom were over 200 pounds lost significant weight with jogging alone. You can consider that.You can have the best diet and workout plan but what's more important is your mindset. Losing weight is not only a mission but it's a ongoing process. Many people fail and struggle without motivation and the right mindset.I always recommend weight loss hypnosis for a reason - it works for me.All the best in your weight loss journey!

• Honestly thats not bad, but if u really want to loose weight kee urself active and drink lots of water pick an activity thats u love doin and that will keep u active i was very chuby till i was 18 and all i did was go to the beach, skate, and play b balllike i said it doesnt have to be a workout just something that keeps u active so u wont think of it as exercise
• If you have the time to walk 1 hour every evening, that's a great start! Eventually you can walk faster, and over time you may choose to run or jog for part o the time.The most important thing is to over hall your diet. Don't eat junk-food like chips or candy as a regular thing. These are supposed to be occasional treats, or not to be consumed at all. Eat as many vegetables & fruits as possible and drink more water than you usually do. Avoid soda-pop and juice at all costs.If after three months of these behaviors you do not see improvement, see your doctor. You may have a thyroid issue that can be treated with medication.Good luck!!

What protein shakes work best to gain weight?

I'm trying to gain some weight to build up fat on my fairly scrawny body. I weight 90 pounds as a 14 year old girl and I'm just too skinny. Are there any specific shakes that you know of that work the best for this? Any help?

How to EASILY Lose Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:

You don't need a shake. You need food. Read my answer about protein supplements --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApxC6qroydrMsf1xrAgyC6Pty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130115003646AALCRaD Read my answer about supplements here --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmA35VDViBrL0y9rSkKcLknty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111001134224AANB0OVRead my answer about supplement scamming here --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aii1OzUVjBo7o550CXhmvVbty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111014151252AAak0J4 If you're an ectomorph (very thin/skinny) or near ectomorph you will have difficulty gaining weight because of your somatype, not because of metabolism. So, if you want to change that and add some pounds there are two ways to do it. Both may work and neither may work. Your success is going to ultimately depend on your body chemistry which is inherited (genetic).FATThe difference between naturally fat and naturally thin people is the number of fat cells in their body. An endomorph may have as many as 250 billion adipocytes (fat cells) while the ectomorph may only have about 50 billion. There's no way to change your total adipocytes or their distribution throughout your body. How fat or thin you are has almost nothing to do with metabolism.You can try adding fat by eating more food. You should eat a proper diet which is about 50/20/30 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein respectively) and just consume more food. You should NOT eat junk food, increase your carbs, take supplements, consume more fat, etc. Just eat a proper, well balanced diet in increase the portions (serving sizes). If you are able to add body fat, you will have no control over where the fat goes or how it looks. In other words, the result could be "skinny fat" which is probably less appealing aesthetically than skinny. And, of course, if you don't like the fat, you'll just have to lose it to get back to where you were.MUSCLEYou can try adding muscle. It is always good to try to add muscle because muscle is the best metabolic investment you can make. Here are some of the benefits of strength training.• Stronger bones & increased mineral density (osteoporosis protection)• Stronger body & musculature (improved protection from injury)• More robust organic and systemic fitness (more survivable in crisis) • Improved cardio-vascular function (better than "cardio")• Higher basal metabolic rate (~5-50 cal/day/pound of muscle)• Easier fat loss (more efficient lipid consumption)• Greater calorie consumption (prolonged afterburn)• Supports body sculpting (hypertrophy)• Slows natural loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) over age 30Adding muscle is a very slow and difficult process. Watch this video for more about that ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961#p/search/0/Xcuhi6RaZ24 . On average males can add no more than about a pound of muscle per month and females can add about 20% less and that is only under ideal circumstances which are rare. However, if you're a teen, you may find adding muscle to be almost impossible because you will not have your lifetime maximum of testosterone (the muscle building hormone) until about your mid20s. Adding muscle means very intense (and painful) training for a few hours per week and usually requires a gym or gym facilities. It also requires some understanding of how to train (exercise physiology, kinesiology, muscle anatomy, etc) which usually means some time spent with a personal trainer. Adding muscle is a difficult and long term process and, once the muscle is added, the training must continue to maintain the muscle.Ectomorphism is an unhappy an occurrence because being very thin can effect self esteem and inhibit social interaction. However, the ectomorph will usually, in adult life, find it easier to achieve and maintain an ideal or close to ideal body weight because people naturally tend to grow fatter and/or more robust as they grow older....especially with proper diet and training. In other words, being underweight now may be paying it forward. You may reap the benefits with a nice body while your midlife peers are fighting the battle of the bulge.Note - Do not use pills, tonics, supplements, shakes, or other products which claim they can help increase body weight without first checking with your doctor. The scammers are very much aware of the plight of the ectomorph and there are scores or companies with products and advertising all designed to capitalize on your misfortune for their profit. Don't be a sucker.So, they may not be ideal. But those are your two options. Fat and/or muscle.Now, read this --> http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6852#.UDnVaKAUOFAYou're only 14 and your body is a work in progress. Don't try to micromanage it. You will fill out in the future. Only time can tell how much.Good luck and good health!!♠

• Hi in my experiance i don't have a diet plan just exercising i do running 30 to 45 min a day and it take my two months for a healthy weight
• do some jogging and exercise ....will help you and in another case go to google...
• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

Why do I have dreams where my personality is oposite than mine?

Ok 1st of all, not to be rude, but don't give me any answers that say dreams are looking into the future or are what you where in you're past life. I'm atheist and dreams are proven to be doors into the subconscious. Science already figured it out.So Last night in my dreams... my personality was completely flipped! I acted childish, rude, extremely shy (I used to be in high school but not really now). And in my dreams I normally act like who I am and it is freaking me out because I can't make anything out of this! Is it because of some drugs I am taking? idk >..<

Lose Weight in 24 Hours - 4 Easy Tips to Losing Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:
Cut down on fatty foods like cheddar cheese, hamburgers, chips, butter, peanut butter and also high sugar foods - that includes honey. Eat more wholegrains - brown bread, brown rice but not too much of it. Eat green and red vegetables to help your body dispose of waste more efficiently and boost your vitamins, Nuts are good for you but they are also high in fats so they put on the pounds. If you eat them, just restrict yourself to two or three brazil nuts a day (good for the Selenium).
Take more exercise - do something you like doing like cycling to work or school, even roller skating or help with the hovering. Take a regular brisk walk. The list is endless but you can do it fairly easily if you make just a little effort and stick to it. Always harder if you live at home and your meals are prepared for you but get your family to cooperate. They might all do it with you.

• Dieting and excersing..''drink honey with lemon or apple cider vinegar in warm water..it reduced fats and carhobydrates

9 Essential Tips To Lose Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:
Here are a few tips:

1. You MUST exercise if you want to lose weight and keep it off, so do something every day, even if it’s just a 15-minute walk around the neighborhood. Don’t say you don’t have time for exercise; you have to MAKE time. Yes, it takes time and effort, but you’re worth it, right?

2. Walk as much as you want, but don’t do cardio for more than 40 minutes at a time. If you do, you risk burning muscle instead of fat.

3. If you do strength training, use light weights and do lots of repetitions. That’ll really help you “tone up.”

4. Your diet will make you or break you. You have probably learned bad eating habits over time (most people do). That’s not your fault, but now you have to deal with it. Make a commitment to yourself to unlearn those bad habits and re-learn better habits.

5. Eat breakfast every day within an hour of getting up. People who don’t are 450% more likely to be overweight.

6. Eat six small meals or snacks per day instead of three squares per day or one big meal per day. Your body expends energy digesting your food, so eating smaller portions more often keeps your metabolism running high because you’re constantly digesting food.

7. Avoid these as much as possible:

-- Trans fat (any type of partially or fully hydrogenated oil)
-- High fructose corn syrup (soft drinks are LOADED with it)
-- Fast food
-- Junk food
-- White sugar, white flour, white rice, white potatoes
-- The deadly C’s (cookies, cakes, candy, chips, cola)

8. Build your diet around these trim-body-friendly foods:

-- Nuts, any kind (almonds are best)
-- Beans/Legumes
-- Fresh vegetables (green is GREAT!!!)
-- Dairy products (as long as they’re low-fat or non-fat)
-- Eggs
-- Lean meats (fish and poultry top the list)
-- Olive oil
-- Whole grain breads/cereals/pasta
-- Fresh fruits (anything that ends in “berry” is a winner)
-- Tea (green tea or black pekoe tea)
-- Cold water or ice water (your body has to expend extra calories to heat it up)

9. Desserts and treats are the exception, not the rule. Having said that, however, (1) you can have a couple of pieces of chocolate every day – just don’t overdo, and (2) Allow yourself one “cheat meal” every week where you eat and drink whatever you want as long as you don’t gorge yourself. That’ll help keep you from feeling deprived and it’ll make it easier to stick with your new healthy eating plan.

Good luck!

• Running
• when eating meat, opt for lean white meat with low sodium.
  when eating breads, opt for whole grains.
  when eating veggies, opt for steaming and go with non starchy green veggies.
  drink only water.
  avoid fats and salt and starchy foods.
  do crunches to tighten your stomach.
  fat can''t be targeted by area of the body, only muscle can.
• do not eat anything white besides egg whites.
  
  learn how to make foods with a good "glycemic index"

The Truth About Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
You dont eat enough. You sound like you are in starvation mode. You should eat 1300 cal a day minimum and see a nutritionist ans diet expert to plan a healthy lifestyle.

• You should eat a more balanced diet than that. Don''t you get bored with the same food everyday?
• One idea is to get off the sugar.... and eat nothing but proteins and fats - that''s the Atkins diet - and people lose weight pretty well on that.
  
  So... sugar is the beans, the rice and probably a goodly amount of the green pea soup. When you eat this stuff, it''s turned to sugar in your blood - if you don''t burn it up, it''s turn to lard to stick on your butt. The idea is to QUIT eating it.
  
  Atkins is meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and green salad. Get a used copy of "New Diet Revolution" off of Amazon Books - or look in the library. It''s a great diet - you don''t have to starve yourself. But NOT eating sugar has a profound effect - it''s really great.
  
  Anyway, this might lead to more weight loss - take a look at the book.
• The less food you eat, the more weight you’ll lose, right? Sorry, but it just doesn’t work this way.If you are looking for a full comprehensive diet and nutrition program that will help you lose your unwanted body fat

Will I lose weight if I eat between 1200 and 1800 calories per day...?

Leaning towards the 1800 side most days. I also workout for an hour 6x per week (strength and cardio mix), drink 2 cups of green tea most days, and 8 cups of water every day. And I do a 24 hour fast one day per week.
I''m 5''2'''', 131 pounds, and my goal weight is 110. I want to be down to at least 119 by May 1st. Will I lose weight doing this, and can you estimate how much I''ll lose per week (say... eating 1300 2 days per week, 1750 4 days, and only about 300 the day I fast)? Or do I need to make sure I stay under 1600?

Staying Motivated to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
It depends on how many calories you need to maintain your current body weight. you can try to eat 500 calories less than you need a day. you can safely lose a pound of weight a week. but you have to know how many calories you need to maintain your body weight and eat five hundred calories a day than what you need.
