Top Five Tips to Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Ok at 13 it is about a healthy lifestyle NOT dieting so I'm happy to see your questions are based around that and not "what diet will make me skinny!" :) So here is answers to your questions:

1. Will you lose fat? most likely yes. Will you lose weight? Possibly not. Why you ask? The simple answer is muscle weights more then fat so if you are doing a lot of toning exercise (the kinds of exercises you need to burn fat in the areas you have listed) then it is likely as you burn fat you will gain muscle. So don't be dis-heartened if the scales don't reflect your hard work. The best measure fore fat lose is actually measurement. Get a tape measure and measure around your tummy (using your belly button as a guide) around your thighs and around your bottom. Do these measurements once a week this will give you a good indication of weather or not your exercises are working.

2. Fat burning stomach exercises? The basics; Sit ups, crunches, reverse crunches, side crunches, planks and bicycle legs. Start at 20 each of sit ups, crunches, reverse crunches, side crunches (20 each side) and bicycle legs (20 each leg) and 30 sec plank then work up progressively until you are doing. 100 of each and a 90 sec plank you will see a difference very quickly.

3. Thigh exercises. There exercises are for tights and gluts; lunges, squats, single leg squats, 90 degree hold on a wall. Again start off at about 20 of each and 30 sec wall hold and work up to 100 and 90 sec.

4. Lower leg fat? The above exercises will help with this but basically it is about running walking, hill sprints etc. also calf raises will help.

5. Calories. Ok here is where I want to try and get you to change your thinking. Instead of "how many calorie should I be eating" you should be asking "what foods should I be eating more of and what should I be eating less of to maintain a healthy weight?" My advice for losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight is as follows;

To drop the weight you need a protein rich carb limited diet. The reason for this is the bodies favourite source of energy is carbs which come from starchy foods such as potato and breads etc. If your body is not getting these carbs it will start burning fat to get its energy.

As I guide I normally say; Have one large meal a day consisting of 3 handfuls of veggies (leafy greens are best) not potato or sweet potato etc. If you can eat them raw even better. and a palm size piece of protein (meal). On top of that you want 1 smaller meal consisting of a piece of fruit and a salad. Then allow yourself 2 small snacks. Such as a handful of nuts or a health bar. To kick start your metabolism in the morning start the day with a glass of warm water with lemon juice, if you can't stomach that try green tea. I hope this information helps. If you need more information on diet and exercises email me at zrarmstrong@me.com and I will help you out.

  • If you exercise you will lose weight!

    Best way to lose weight is Cardio (running, cycling, swimming), anything that makes you sweat.
    If you have the time, it is best to exercise at least for 30min

    I can't tell you exactly what burns what, because that depends on your genes, your body.
    Someone will lose but fat, someone will lose stomach first. Usually the thing you want most gone, will be the last to go.
    Everything will burn eventually something faster, something slower.

    As for calories, I'm not a doctor, and a doctor should be the only one who can tell you that.
