How to Fast to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Ive known some people that after having a baby, will actually snap into a nicer figure but you do need to work for it. Get a gym membership or trainer to help along with a healthy diet. one or two days a week, have fast days where you work out and eat only 5-7 small meals per day. Work ut everyday! Cardio exercise is great! Hope this helps! If you still need answers, search for more on the internet and download apps if you have a smart phone.

How To Lose Weight Fast and Safely

Recommended Answer:
So many people (especially on this site in this category) are under the impression that all you have to do is exercise like crazy at the gym to lose weight -- NOT TRUE AT ALL. I have lost 85 pounds (going from 220 to 135) with hardly exercising until recently.

It is truly all about diet. The exercise just makes it EASIER to lose if you have a difficult time keeping your caloric intake in check. Figure out your BMR, calculate in your daily activity level, then drop that number by 500-1000 calories to lose weight. It should be around 1200-1500 calories a day.

Count your calories diligently using a tracker (like MyFitness Pal) and switch to low calorie foods. Thing egg whites instead of whole eggs, sugar free maple syrup instead of regular, an americano instead of a latte, mustard instead of mayo, low calorie bread instead of rolls, fat free dressing instead of regular. You get the picture.

There aren''t any foods you have to "stay away from" to lose weight. You just have to count your calories!

• Join a Zumba club or if your two embarrassed then get a Zumba DVD for you to do at home
• Drinking water before, during, and after you eat a meal can give your stomach a sense of fullness. Drinking cold water will make your body use energy to heat your body up, making you use sugar into energy instead of fat. Stay away from drinking sodas because they have too much sugar in them. Even Coke Zero will not help because your body cannot tell between the substitute of sugars they use from actual sugar. Avoid sweets and things with corn syrup in them, because if you are not going to run, the sugar will turn into fat instead of energy to be burned. Donuts, hamburgers, and french fries should be avoided completely, unless you made them without the use of oils.
• Eat better. I have not run a foot and lost 30 pounds in past 2 months.
• Try going on a raw food diet for a month! :) Buy a calendar (to get you started) and everyday you stick to your diet (which should be everyday) cross it off with an X! Once you''ve completed to diet look in the mirror and check if you see a difference (which you will).
  
  Besides the diet, drink LOTS of water. From 6-8 glasses a day :) just don''t over drink if you feel sick hahaha :)
  
  And get the niketraining app! It''s free, tracks your progress and minutes, and requires no running.
  
  Good luck!! Answer my latest question?(:
• Avoid processed foods, fast foods, fried foods, anything in these categories; You would be surprised how much you lose and how your cravings for fast food diminish after a while. Also, stay away from sugary drinks. Just limit it, im not saying go pro-water, but look at the nutritional value and if one serving for a 12 or 24 oz bottle has 24g of sugar then you may want to avoid that drink. Personally, I drink milk, for the nutrition, coconut water, all natural drink sugar free (yet still tastes sweet), and water. Although I can''t lie, I drink hot chocolate often. Adding a "bad" food to your diet only helps if eaten in moderation, it helps with craving control.
  
  P.s. It''s usually the drinks that kill a diet, so especially watch out for the content of a drink.
  
  Hope this helps
• French fries, potato chips, cake cookies, cinnamon rolls, donuts, pizza, ice cream. I could go on and on but you know what junk foods are, just don''t eat them. Eat mostly vegetables, a lot less meat. Add fruits to satisfy your sweet tooth.
  
  You have to run a long way to make up for all the junk food. It''s easier just to eat better and run less.

Lose Weight and Block Fat

Recommended Answer:
I was fat for a large portion of my life, and this sounds exactly like what I did when I started trying to lose weight. I felt tired, fatigued, and just depressed. Oh, I was hungry the whole time and lost no weight. So, please, do not do what I did.


This is one of the most common mistakes people make when trying to lose weight. There is a certain, specific list of nutrients and foods your body needs when you are trying to lose weight. When you deprive your body of what it needs, it literally shuts down. This is why, if you keep doing what you are doing, you won''t see results.

I know how you feel; having unwanted bodyweight is extremely frustrating. Through years of trial and error I found something that worked for me, and now my clients. There is a balance that, when put into place, makes weight loss laughably easy. I can’t really explain all of it here, but my website will really help you http://www.secret.lightmindfitness.com

Lose Weight the Right Way and Keep it Off

Recommended Answer:
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don''t eat wheat then you don''t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don''t eat junk food, and you don''t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It''s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest)

How to Eat at McDonald''s and Still Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
The whole notion of restrictive dieting and exercising to lose weight is terribly misguided. Not only doesn''t it work, in the long run it causes more weight gain because it damages the metabolism.

It''s so obvious--you can''t keep dieting all the time, month after month, year after year. You simply can''t keep undereating and denying your body what it needs. And when you stop, you gain the weight back, and usually a little more. People don''t stop to wonder why, if dieting works, women seem to be constantly dieting or thinking about dieting or search for diets that work.

Most overweight is not caused by overeating. It''s caused by various dietary factors that change the body''s metabolism over a long period of time. Many of these factors have to do with the processed food we eat--for example, the cheap and unhealthy vegetable oils that are used in virtually all processed foods nowadays.

The simple truth is that most of the nutritional info that comes through the media is wrong. It has the long-term effect of lowering the metabolism--the body''s functioning--and causing weight problems. The only way to normalize weight is to normalize the body''s functioning so that it stops storing fat. And this can''t be done via the low-fat, low-calorie, heavy on the fruit and veggies diets that so many people think are healthy.

If you want to learn how to do this, my recommendation is to go to 180degreehealth.com and get one of the metabolism packages.

• Try Zumba!!!
  Many people already try this.. Its actually enjoyable....
• I know its sounds weird but... I use just dance 4 on just sweat mode.
  I''m serious its constant songs dancing and strecthing which equals constant workout and in between I did some sit up I thonk it was twenty I di it very often it works!
  P,ease answer my question. :) hope I helped
• ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!
• When I was obese, I just started going for walks around my neighborhood. I wasn''t in the physical condition necessary to do anything strenuous. As I lost weight, I started walking farther away from my house. I picked up my pace. Eventually I started using a treadmill so that I can up the intensity and speed of my walks. Then I started spinning and doing some strength training.
  
  My advice is don''t go hardcore at once. There''s no need. You can lose weight simply by dieting. Take it slow, but challenge yourself when it starts to get easy.
• Try making small changes in your daily lives, do things you will enjoy and try to eat healthier. Be more active. Losing weight is not that hard, find things that motivate you.Without motivation it''s very hard to lose weight. There is no secret... Eat healthy and exercise and don''t give up. Good luck!! (:
• I lost 30 pounds in 12 weeks and I have kept it off for 2 years now. I did a little research and came up with my own plan.
  
  If you want to see what I did to lose weight I wrote about it at http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-lose-weight-without-starving-yourself2
  It doesn''t cost you anything, I didn''t take any diet pills or join a weight loss company, I just wanted to share my story. Check it out and see if you think what I did could work for you.

Weight loss tips for 15 year old?

Alright so I''m 15, I''m about 6''2" and weigh about 245 pounds, I want to lose about 20 pounds in the next month or 2, any tips?

Why Had I Stopped Losing Weight?

Recommended Answer:
Some ideas:

1) Set realistic expectations....20 pounds in a month is not realistic or healthy loss. 2-3 pounds a week is a realistic and healthy loss goal.
2) Drink lots of water.
3) Get moving...any exercise is good exercise. Walk, run, do stairs, walk some more, do jumping jacks, stand instead of sit....anything to get you on your feet will help.
4) Add veggies. Eat them.
5) Cut out junk food. No chips, no soda, no crap.
6) Get a friend to help you....encouragement is everything.
7) Don''t give up. No matter what...rain, snow, sleet, being tired...go out and get exercise.
8) Cut down on your salt.
9) Eat more chicken (not KFC) Chicken breast, tuna, lean meats.
10) Drink more water. I know I said it once,but it really does bear repeating.

• Move more eat less its as easy as that I have lost weight. Cut down on fatty foods and fizzy drinks. Good luck.
• Doing 5 minutes each of push-ups, lunges, and squats (in 30-second intervals) will help build and maintain muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be, so you''ll torch more calories as you go about your day.
