How to Lose Weight Eating Fast Food

Recommended Answer:

Many people spend endless hours in the gym working on heir abs only to become frustrated to find that they are making very little progress with the appearance of their abs. They may try increasing weight, or increasing reps of their workout in hopes that this will help, but the truth is, it won't/A popular myth about abs is that ab crunches, along with other ab routines will give you perfect six pack abs. Unfortunately, that's not how it works. The truth about abs is having a ripped stomach isn't as much about the ab workouts you perform, but about the fat you burn and diet you eat. What does this mean? It means less strengthening and more conditioning.Many people tend to confuse strengthening the abs, with workouts such as ab crunches, sit ups, and leg raises, with toning the abs. Ab workouts are great if you want to have a stronger stomach, but they will by no means give the "ripped" look many people strive to achieve. If what you're aiming for is a ripped 6 pack, (or 8,10 or 12 pack if you're feeling ambitious) then your focus should be more on diet and cardio, not the ab workouts themselves.This is not say to say that ab workouts are not important. Ab workouts will give you a stronger stomach, and are still very important component to having great healthy abs, but in truth, the real trick is to burn fat. You could have the strongest abs in the world, but if there's a layer of fat covering them, it would never show.If ripped abs are what you're going for, your aim should be to have a flat lean stomach, and the way to a flat ripped stomach is through diet and cardio.A few diet tips for obtaining great abs are:1. Don't skip meals Skipping meals can slow your metabolism and cause fat build up. Why does this happen? When we skip meals, our body becomes unsure of when the next meal may be coming. As a result, it will store extra fat to ensure it has enough energy to keep our bodies running properly.2. Run at least 20-30 minutes everyday If you take the time and effort to run everyday for at least 20-30 minutes, you'll be doing your abs wonders. Not only will this be great for burning fat, but it also takes some pressure off from your diet since running everyday will cause you to burn a great deal of calories. The runs don't have to be vigorous, just a light jog can show great results within a few weeks.3. Drink Water Water keeps our body running at optimum levels and helps burn fat. Most people don't drink nearly enough water, and as a result, their bodies suffer. It's best to drink 8-10 glasses a day, but if you're working out, or just want to be a little more hydrated, more won't hurt. It is possible to drink too much water, but so long as you're not drinking a gallon in under an hour, you're body will be able to handle it, and you'll be feeling great.

Good diet plan to lose 70 pounds?

I'm 5'3 and as of this morning 193.3 pounds. In the next year I would like to lose 60-70 pounds, and today I started my diet and exercise plan. So far today I ate 1 cup of cooked ham, string beans and potatoes and I think it came to around 250 calories. I also did laps in my pool for about 15 minutes and the other 15 minutes I was walking/speed walking in it. Later I plan on walking until I burn about 400 calories(an hour or so). And tomorrow I plan on doing laps again but for 30 minutes and then going on the stair stepper for 15 minutes, then doing a mix of 50 squats/lunges with 5 pound weights in each hand. Is this a good way to start out? Also how do I lose 15 in a month, and if that's even possible?

How you are going to lose a lot of weight depends a lot on what you have tried before. People with a lot of weight to lose have often tried many methods and found out they are not helpful to them. And the approach that works for you may no be the same as the one that worked for me. It's possible to lose 15 lbs in a month, and for some people you need to lose weight fast to keep motivated when you have a long way to go. But other people may really enjoy the journey of discovering new recipes and healthier alternatives to eating a high fat, high salt diet, and they choose something like Weight Watchers and stick with it all the way to the end. I know lots of people for whom this worked perfectly. I wish it had worked for me, but maybe it will work for you. It will not produce 15 lbs of weight loss in a month, except maybe the first month. If you have success with diet and exercise methods, some of the best advice can be found on established online communities such as Sparkpeople:http://www.sparkpeople.comIf you find yourself struggling to lose even 1 lb per week with conventional methods, and you keep losing hope, you might consider researching VLCD. I explain how I decided to go down that path in this question:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Alc771qSCmkIbVC60E5xIBzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130729105433AA4XixKAs for exercise, as long as you feel comfortable with your activity level, and you're not in pain after your workout, (aren't experiencing severe aching and muscle weakness or limping) then keep it up, but be aware that the heavier you body, the more gentle you should be, and as you lose weight you can add more vigorous exercises or a group sport that is fun to you and keeps you engaged.

  • Eat meat, hunt meat(without weapons) to burn what you gained from meat! Eat the guts eat the heart the best part! Howl, hunt, live,
  • Ham is very fatty, stop eating it. Potatoes have a ton of carbs, eat in moderneration. String beans are fine. If you continue eating 250 calories a day, your body will go into starvation mode and will store all the fat and you won't lose weight. Eat more. But congrats on swimming, try jogging also.

minimum walking time?

I am a complete begginer at working out although i move a lot and run around at my job (I'm an outdoor preschool teacher) and walk long distances to and from work but I wanted to walk for a workout just now (I was alternating between jogging and walking) and after i felt it was forever i looked and it was just for 4 minutes and 33 seconds and i was completely out of breath so i stopped. is 4:33 that ok? will it be of any benefit? not necessarily weight loss? i want to gradually increase the time maybe tomorrow 5 minutes or something i don't know- help?

How to Lose Weight Drastically

Recommended Answer:

The rule of thumb is 150 minutes a week. If you can't do that right now, that's ok. Make that a goal. Another rule of thumb is to only increase your minutes, each week, by less than 10%. some people think 5% is optimum. I think you must have meant that you jogged for 4 minutes and were out of breath. That's ok. Try just jogging for 1 minute and then walking for 2 to start off with. oh, and try jogging slower. I'm aslo a big advocate for the "couch to 5K" program. Google it. It might be just the thing for you.
