How can I lose around 10lbs?

I'm 17 and weigh about 110lbs (give or take before/after eating) and I am 5'1". I used to be around 100, but I think I have gained some weight from being stressed out. I literally have no time for anything. I get up at 6am and go to cosmetology school, come home study, and fall asleep. I don't feel like I eat that much.. I have a water in the morning, and energy drink&snack at lunch, then eat dinner. I'm really exhausted all the time, and I drink soda/tea a lot, but I didn't think that was bad, it's not like I stuff my face, and I am working all day at school not just a bump on a log. What should I do?

How to Make a Weight Loss Plan

Recommended Answer:

Hii Desyre!! Here are some things you can do.Firstly remember to drink lots of water (average around 8 cups daily). Have a glass before every meal to stop overeating.You must eat lots of protein- meat such as chicken and other sources of protein is from beans such as lentils and also eat nuts. Also take a multivitamin with dinner. Eat fresh salads and vegetables with dinner and as snacks. Celery is a great snack as it has next to no calories and includes vitamins. (Note that you should avoid cheese, sugary cereals and bread-especially white)For exercise you should aim to do 60-100 sit ups daily, don't do too much as your muscles need time to heal. This is a great way of burning belly fat and tones the muscle. If you have a stationary bike use it for 30 minutes daily (doesn't have to be vigorous) this loses fat from thighs and legs also gives them nice definition. If you don't have a bike go jogging or running for 30 minutes daily because it has the same effect! If you do this you should be able to lose a few pounds quickly. Good luck!!

• That doesnt sound heavy at all. Im 22 year old female and I weigh 111. I lost 8 pounds this year. I had to get my wisdom teeth out so that helped me lose some weight. Then after that I continued to watch what I eat. Im disabled so if i can lose 8 pounds then you can definitely lose 10 pounds. Unless your disabled?

What makes McDonald's and KFC more successful than other fast food restaurants?

i live in Asia and visited the US this year, i've been to a number of fast food restaurants there which serves much better burgers and fries than McDonald's and KFC. What makes McDonalds and KFC become a huge franchise instead of other fast food places which i've never heard of in countries outside US?

How to Lose Weight Without Getting Saggy Skin

Recommended Answer:

KFC is a huge franchise because they only serve chicken. Many countries in asia don't eat beef, so serving only chicken fits into their normal diet. Chicken is also readily available in any country, there is no vendor sourcing problems with chicken.McDonalds has the ability to cater their menu to the local taste. Japan's McD will serve ramen, HK's McD will serve shrimp and rice burgers, Hawaii and Guam are known to serve spam. Not many fast food restaurants give that much flexibility. Also, many people are more familiar of McD and the golden arches. And the franchise guidelines are probably not that strict.It's really all about business and not taste. The first important thing when opening a franchise is global and local popularity and appeal. This will ensure profitabilty. The next is need for the franchise. Then they have to think about how they can get that product or if they can source the product locally.

• because their quality.
• First, they use cheap ingredients, and make a low-priced product. Second, they use additives that make the cheap ingredients taste better, that still don't cost much to use. Third, they have both been in business around 50 years, and they invented the model of business, which "other fast food places which you've never heard of in other countries outside the US" haven't been using as long, nor have they been in business as long. When you have a mega company that has been in business, and expanding, for 50 years, it's going to be bigger, and look more successful than a company that has only been in business for ten years. See how that works?
• marketing and advertising to a target audience.
• KFC- there is nothing better than there chicken. I LOVE KFCMcDonalds- who knows, there food is cheap but the food is disgusting.
• because of there high popularity,high quality of goods and is available in very low price.
• Big Macs for McDonald's and original recipe with seven herbs and spices for KFC.
• McDonald's is okay, their fries are awesome! But KFC is horrid!
• they are big hits with their advertising and the quality of food of both restaurants is good
• Justin, calm down and take your medicine. McDonald's sucks. KFC is ok, but I like Popeyes the best.

I want to lose weight but like some parts of me?

I wear a size 8, but I would love to be a 4. I like my breast size and my buttox. How can I keep those to things, but weigh down my arms, legs and stomach?

How to Lose Weight Without Eating Healthy

Recommended Answer:

That's the problem right there. A lot of people want to 'spot reduce' which won't really happen because when you lose fat you lose it all around our body. It's just like gaining weight you don't just gain it around your arms or your breasts but your stomach and thighs too. I have a similar problem because I also want to lose fat around my body but mostly around my buttocks and thighs but definitely NOT my breasts (they will cease to exist). However not everyone is the same. Some people can lose more weight in some areas than others or gain weight more in other areas than others (ever heard "all this foods gone to my butt'? yeah that's me...never to the boobs..nope). I think the best thing to do is to do exercises that focus on your abdominal muscles or search on food that happen to burn belly fat quickly (but I am not so sure if that's true or not). However remember that food contributes to 80% of weight loss and that exercise is only 20%.Good luck :)

• Do bicep and tricep workouts for arms. And leg workouts.

Why should I become a vegetarian?

I''ve been thinking of becoming a vegetarian, but what are some of the benefits? Why did you become a veggie head? I don''t like eating beef to begin with, it just doesn''t do anything for my taste buds. Also I''ve been losing alot of weight, not in a very healthy way either, but that''s besides the point, i want to continue losing weight but in a healthier way. Thank you!

How to Lose Weight Without Losing Meat - The Weight Loss Program For Meat Lovers

Recommended Answer:
If you want to become a vegetarian, do it for the health reasons but also for the inhuman way that the animals are treated.
First the health benefits are endless because meat has been proven to cause many different diseases. I would look this up on google, here''s a good article to start from http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/meatless-meals/my00752

It can also cause many disease http://www.heimat-fuer-tiere.de/english/articles/med/meat_makes_you_sick.shtml

But also cutting out meat is something people do because the animals are treated so terribly. I recently saw the movie Vegetated and it shows the unjust ways that animals are treated, I would suggest for you to look into it!

Another thing that is important is the environmental problems that the farm factories cause. This link describes a bunch of that http://www.gracelinks.org/265/environment


Lastly, heres a video explaining a bunch of the animal cruelty and the health benefits, as well as what you can eat a stuff like that. If you don''t want to see anything too graphic DON''T WATCH THIS! or at least just skip to the part after the animal cruelty part! It is really graphic I have to tell you!

Good luck! And always remember that becoming healthy should always come before losing weight. Nobody will ever successfully lose weight and benefit themselves from not being healthy. It will never last unless you live your life in a healthy way!

• If you hate eating meat and despise the fact that animals are used for humans to eat then I suggest you become a vegan.
  
  On the bright side, this will help you control what you eat and will give you perfect nutrition, although you might not always reach your daily amount of carbohydrates and protein
• One of the benefits of you becoming a vegetarian is that there''s more steak and cheese burgers for me.
• Because vegetarian food tastes the best! There are a lot of good environmental and ethical points to be made for the vegetarian diet, but the simplest answer is that it just tastes better. To lose weight and be healthy, you want to eat plenty of legumes, veggies, and whole grains, and keep the junk food minimal. Best of luck!
• To avoid funding (as much) slaughter of sentient beings,
  to abstain from (as much) environmental putrification which threatens all life on Earth with the near-term prospect of runaway climate change as driven by animal factory farming.
