Can I lose weight by this diet plan?

I weight 198 pounds and I'm 5'2. Can I lose weight by eating either a special K or slim fast meal bar for breakfast. For lunch eating regular school food (unless its something unhealthy like pizza, then getting a salad) And for dinner just eating fruits and veggies? And with of course at least 20 minutes of exercise or more.

How to Lose Weight After Kids

Recommended Answer:

You should weigh about 110. You can lose 10 lbs/mo with this ````plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Fruit smoothies. Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, gluten, pastries, desserts, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (it's lard + chemicals), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells).coffee (carcinogenic). no oil except olive and mac nut. Sodas (loaded with toxins; leads to stroke, obesity, kidney damage, high BP and inhibits bone growth in kids), anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar, it wreaks havoc on your liver, mucks up metabolism, impairs brain function, makes you more susceptible to heart disease and diabetes), To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, veggie juice, unsweetened fruit juice.Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex.

What is a good weight lifting routine for me to follow?

24 yr old male. Weight: 125 Kgs / 275 lbs. Height: 5ft 10in / 178 cm. Trying to lose weight through dieting, cardio and weightlifting. The routine I am currently doing is as follows:Cardio: 45 Minutes on the treadmill. 4 times a week.Weight Lifting: Daily Routine as follows -Sit ups: 2 sets. 15 reps each set.*Standing Barbell Curls: 20 Kgs / 44 Lbs. 3 sets. 8 reps each set.*Bench Presses: 20 Kgs / 44 Lbs. 3 sets. 15 reps each set.Leg Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.Right Bicep Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.Left Bicep Curls: 10 Kgs / 22 Lbs. 3 sets. 10 reps each set.* The bench press and standing barbell curls weights mentioned above take into account the weight of the rod itself ( 5 Kgs / 11 Lbs)While I want to, and am trying to lose weight overall, the most important areas I want to see a substantial transformation in are my stomach and chest. I have done some research but still consider myself a complete beginner when it comes to weight lifting. So please help me out by letting me know:How to improve the routine mentioned above?What additional exercises I should start doing that focus on the chest and stomach areas?Are inclined bench presses better than standard bench presses?After how long, and by how much should I increase the weights I'm working with?And I was wondering if I can keep doing the weightlifting routine daily or do I need to take a day off or something like that?Thank you very much in advance for your time.

How to Eat Chocolate to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Diet is the most important part of losing weight. Weight loss is a calorie game. If you take in less than what your body burns in a day, you lose weight. Period.As far as the work out routine, I see nothing wrong with the cardio bit. 45 minutes, 4 days a week sounds sufficient for now. As you lose weight, you can start looking into more extreme and advanced cardio movements. Hill sprints and sled pushes are THE best things for conditioning.The weight routine is godawful. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but dude that routine sucks. Here is why. -Sit ups are awful for the back, and really don't do much for the abs. -You are doing two bicep curl variations in the same workout. This is not necessary. In fact, at your level isolation movements are not necessary at all. -For that reason, you can also 86 the leg curls.I am a proponent of the big barbell movements. Squats, deadlifts, and presses. As far as an actual routine, look into Starting Strength, Strong Lifts, Madcow, 5/3/1 or similar programs. Every single expert (real experts, not just random jackasses on Yahoo Answers like me) in the strength training field will tell you to squat, deadlift and press. Reason being, they WORK."What additional exercises I should start doing that focus on the chest and stomach areas?"As far as additional exercises go, this is a partial lift of stuff that I find effective. Keep in mind that this is what has worked FOR ME, you might need different movements to get results.-Upper bodyPull upsDipsKroc rowPendlay rowIncline pressFloor pressKlokov press-Lower bodyMore squatsMore deadlifts... I honestly don't do much assistance work for lower body. Never needed to really.-Abs/"core"Ab wheelFlutter kicksLeg raisesFarmers walksYoke walks"Are inclined bench presses better than standard bench presses?"Incline bench has its place, but should not replace the regular old bench press. You need to flat bench. Period."After how long, and by how much should I increase the weights I'm working with?"As far as increasing weights, you can start off MUCH heavier. At your weight you are capable of moving more than you think. If you are diligent and dedicated, you can add 5 pounds to the upper body lifts a month, and 10 pounds to lower body lifts for at least 6 months. After that, it gets a bit harder to increase weight."And I was wondering if I can keep doing the weightlifting routine daily or do I need to take a day off or something like that?"Its possible to train weights daily, but I think its not the best way of going about it. I lift 5 days a week, taking Saturday and Sunday off. I do that by having different routines for each day. Read into the programs I mentioned above, and this will all make much more sense.

My leo won't eat ANYTHING & has lost all reserves in tail. PLEASE HELP!!!!!?

She lives in a 20 gallon tank with another leo. The one that isn't eating is albino and the other one os multicolored. She moves and walks around normally and also drinks water but her left eye doesn't open all the way up unless she is scared. Her temps are 80-85 degrees. The humidity is 30-70% (depends on the day & temp outside I cant get it down any lower than that no matter what I do) she has calcium sand and desert sand as a substrate. I feed crickets and mealworms on a weekly/semiweekly basis. There are two logs and hideaways in the cage with green vegetation to hide in and under. I don't know what the problem is but I wish she'd just eat something. I've googled this several times and can't seem to get a clear answer. Anyone who is an experienced reptile/herp owner your help would be greatly appreciated; anything at all would be great. Thanks!

How to Eat Food in Combination to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Okay bud, I think you know the real answer here is to get a vet. I'm sure you know this but just because it is a gecko does not mean it should not get proper vet care. It is unfair to the animal. Google is not going to help you, forums and Yahoo Answers can give you some advice but nobody is going to be able to properly diagnose this without having the knowledge that a vet does.With that being said, there are some things I have noticed that can be contributing to this:-20 gallons is a bit too snug for two leos. 30gal should be used. The whole "ten gallons for each gecko" thing is really not accurate; it depends on the activity level of the gecko and the size of each. Right now my two hatchlings are a little squashed in a 20gal and they will definitely be upgraded when up to size, just thought I should mention. And with that brings my next point...-Yes, she can be stressed from being housed with another gecko. I am not judging you for doing this because I also keep two leos together, and have no problems, as do MANY other people but it must be watched closely. The truth is that yes, they are solitary animals, they can tolerate each other when they are given space and watched closely for any aggression but it does not always happen. Reptiles do have personalities. If you feed crickets, there is really no way to tell if they are both getting equal food unless feeding with tongs, especially considering that with two leos there can often be a dominate one that will bully the other and intimidate them and hog up more food. I doubt it is the real problem here but it can contribute, but you know your pets better than I do and I will trust your judgment on keeping them together.-Your temps are confusing me. The warm side should be about 85-88 and the cool side 75-80. Also, I did read that you have problems controlling the humidity but too high of a humidity is very bad for leos.-The debate on sand vs no sand is a completely endless one and there are millions of arguments on both sides. I do not use it because I know my leos like to attack their substrate all the time and they'll end up gobbling tons of sand than what can safely pass, but I will not argue with what people think is the best for their pets, just remember that there is always a risk of impaction with it, especially if you are letting them be elbow deep in sand instead of the fine layer that is generally acceptable. Check her belly and see if it's swollen or feels hard.If you have tried your best to get her to eat this sounds like an underlying illness to me. Another problem I have with sand is that parasites can harbour fairly easily in it, and if your humidity gets high it can allow for respiratory problems or make a suitable breeding ground for some types of bacteria. There is a chance she could have a parasite as this is what often stops leos from losing the fat reserves. I really, really recommend taking her to a vet if this has been going on for so long she doesn't have a fat tail anymore. She has nothing to live off of and if she is not eating she is basically starving. Good luck.

Other Answers:

• Wow...where to start.-First, why are you getting help now if "all reserves in tail" are lost? It may be too late, but we'll see.-Separate the geckos. The other one is likely hogging all of the food.-Do you dust and gutload the crickets/mealworms? What kind of supplements do you use?-Remove the sand. This can easily cause impaction (and may be what she has), which is a blockage in the intestines. Get paper towel, newspaper, butcher paper, tile, or slate. For now, just get them off the sand, into separate cages, and you can lay down paper towels.-How much do you feed? They should be fed every other day as adults and every day as juveniles.-Do they have a humid hide with moist moss/EcoEarth?-Is there a dry hide for the hot side and a dry hide for the cool side?-What are the temps on the hot side? (Should be 88-90)-How do you heat the cage? (Heat mat is best, since they require belly heat to digest properly.)At this point, it would be best to get her to a reptile vet (and maybe bring the other along for a check-up and make sure she's healthy). I also HIGHLY recommend going over proper care of leopard geckos... http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/gecko-care-sheets/55211-leopard-gecko-caresheet-eublepharis-macularius-demo-video-4-jan-2013-update.htmlAbout 99% of the problems that arise from keeping reptiles are due to incorrect husbandry.
• First of all, you may want to reconsider housing them together until you've got them both eating normally, and even then you may want to keep them apart. If you insist on keeping them together, feed them separately to make sure that your other one is not stealing her food. It is possible as well that she can't see very well (I knew a friend who had an almost-blind gecko) and you may need to feed her directly, by hand or tweezers (offer the food right in front of her) or if worst comes to worst, by force-feeding (video tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mIJmeebvss). Good luck and if there is a reptile vet in your area, you might want to get her eye looked at professionally as well. It wouldn't hurt.
• First of all Im going to give you the best advice I can. Take your leopard gecko to the vet. Honestly you may have already waited too long. Secondly I use sand BUT I only use CALCIUM CARBONATE sand. Any other type of sand can cause impaction even in very small amounts. Also I make sure my leopard geckos get a good calcium supplement such as Mineral I so they wont eat the sand(eventhough the Calcium Carbonate Sand has been found to be partially digestable in very small amounts) which could cause inpaction if they were to eat enough of it. Also are you gut loading your feeders? Please take your leopard gecko to a good reptile vet.

Do you think walkling is a good way to lose weight?

If I walked about 2 hrs everyday and ate 1200-1400 calorie per day, would I lose weight?I love walking that's why I choose to walk better than exercising. I know gym will make me lose more weight faster but I know I'd skip it but if I walk I know I won't skip it, if you know what I mean..So what do you personally think?

How to Lose Weight Gain Muscle

Recommended Answer:

Loosing weight is entirely dependent on the individual person. Some people can eat more calories than other and still loose weight. Walking is an ok way to loose weight, but if your looking for something to burn calories quicker try swimming, running, and other aerobic exercises that use more muscles in your body. If you want something more enjoyable try picking up a sport like tennis, basketball, etc. This way you will be less likely to skip doing it. But still, diet is the most important factor when loosing weight.

Other Answers:

• A slight faster pace than walking is the best way to lose weight.
• The absolutely and truly BEST way to lose weight - simply eat a lot less! Be hungry! It's OK, you won't starve to death. Let that tummy rumble! You would need to walk 34 miles to burn just 1 lb of fat.
• i think gym would be better....walking so much may cause weakness.....
• No, I don't, because walking is just something that you should do every day as a functional member of society. That's not exercise. Walking will never get your heart rate into the cardio zone. At best, it's low-intensity exercise and low-intensity exercise won't even stimulate glycogen breakdown. All it will do is use energy from triglycerides. Is it healthier than sitting on a couch? Sure. That's about all I can say for it. Weight gain/loos/maintenance is mostly just about calories in versus calories out. Contrary to what other people here are saying, the answer is not always "eat less" or "exercise more." Often it is a combination of the two. You could be a very, very inactive person and still maintain a normal weight if you kept your calorie intake low enough. On the flip side, physically active people can, and even need to consume a very large amount of calories in a day and they still maintain a healthy weight doing it. I eat 3500 - 3700 a day. Not only is that not too much, but I need that many calories to sustain my high level of activity.

How to Use Chewing Gum to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

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.
