Why am I gaining weight so rapidly for this pregnancy?

This is my second pregnancy, I am only about 5-6 weeks along. In the past 3 weeks I have gained just about 4 pounds! Is this normal? My pregnancy with my son was completely different. I didn't gain until about 24 weeks.

How to Lose Weight With the Master Cleanse

Recommended Answer:

it could be you hadn't the extra fluff a baby needs to get comfy. Don't worry about it. Eat lots of healthy snacks, drink plenty of water, and get some sleep. If you're anything like I was, you're probably exhausted. If you can, try to do a little walking, but don't beat yourself up if you can't manage it. For the first three weeks after I found out, I was lucky if I got dressed, I was so tired. Just watch your sugary drinks (they can make your throat dry in the morning) and the salt (it does not help the swelling, but if you must have Cheetos, as I did, compensate by drinking a bottle of water. Congrats Mama!

How to Lose Baby Weight After Two Years

Recommended Answer:

If you want to put on weight, you should work out, to insure that youput on muscle and not fat. Healthy weight gain, just like healthyweight loss, takes time and requires a conscious effort to apply goodhabits.Recommended Ways to Gain WeightHave meals with the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and theright kinds of fat (such as unsaturated and monounsaturated fats,olive oil, canola oil, pistachios, almonds and walnuts). Heinemannsuggests the following ratio: 60%-70% carbohydrates, 10%-15% protein,and a small amount of fat.Eat foods higher in calories, vitamins, and minerals, as opposedto higher in fat or sugar. Pack more nutritious calories in eachserving. For example, you may add grated cooked eggs to mashedpotatoes, ground chicken to soups and gravies, cheese in casseroles,eggs, and soups, and nonfat dried milk in soups, shakes, milk, andmashed potatoes.If you get too full too fast, try having more high-calorie foods orslices of foods as opposed to consuming the whole thing (raisinsversus grapes, granola and Grape Nuts versus corn flakes, mango slicesversus the whole mango).Limit drinking beverages to a half-hour before and after a meal.Drink mixed juices (apple/berry, peach/orange/banana as opposed to onejuice beverages) for a higher calorie intake. With moderation, you mayadd in good fat sources to meals such as nuts, avocado, olives, andfatty fish (salmon and mackerel).Snack in between meals. Nuts, dried fruits, and yogurtare good options, but it's also important to find nutritious foodsthat you will enjoy. Have a nutritious snack before bedtime, such as apeanut butter sandwich.

Other Answers:

  • Now this I can help with. Take your meal plan (the one most treatment centers give out) and add an ensure and a carnation instant breakfast. Once you gain the weigh pick one of them to continue on.
  • Believe it or not, Slim-Fast and Carnation Instant Breakfast (almost the same as Ensure but not so crazily expensive). If you read the ingredients, you will discover that weight-loss foods and weight-gain supplements are mostly the same things. The difference is that you have the foods ALONG WITH meals when gaining weight and INSTEAD OF meals when losing weight. Adding a few calories to each meal will do it in no time. But don't go over!
  • gaining weight doesn't mean eating lots of junk food or eating like a pig for 1 day then eating normally again.if you wanna gain weight you must eat lots of protein and carbs such as milk,eggs,bread,chicken,biscuits,nuts,oatmeal,rice,potatoes,pasta, and drink lots of water and sleep enough, keep this up to gain weight in a very healthy way.and you can add up how much calories you should eat everyday to reach your goal
  • In order to gain weight, you should eat more healthy fats like nuts, olive oil, etc. You should also up your caloric intake and eat more calories. Eat snacks throughout the day, and make sure you are eating enough. Seeing a nutritionist would be very helpful bc they could help you out with what foods to eat, etc. My best friend was recovering from an ED and in order to gain weight she began seeing a nutritionist and it really helped her. In order to maintain, just eat as much as you burn daily. Good luck! Hope I helped:)

How to lose weight in 2 weeks?

I need to lose about 5 pounds in two weeks before I start school. I will be willing to do any exercises or diets to lose this much. Please help me!

How to Eat Food in Combination to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

If you want to lose 5 pounds in 2 weeks you'll have to exercise everyday for about 35-60 minutes of a high intensity exercise such as swimming, running, elliptical or biking. You can also throw in some core strengthening or weights if you have extra time. Gym is 30% of fitness. Diet is 70%. Just eat healthy foods that you like in the right portions. Some breakfast Ideas could be: oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, granola bars, or eggs or egg whites. Some lunch ideas could be: salads with light dressing, wraps, eggs or omelettes. I like eating sushi with some soy sauce or I make wraps with chicken, hummus, and some seasonings. Snacks should be fruit or vegetables or something light thats enough to fill you up. Dinner should be your free meal to eat whatever you want but eat small portions. Also try to drink a lot of water throughout the day, it will help keep you feeling full and make you lose weight. Drink at least a glass of water before eat meal, it will help you eat less food. Try to get 8 hours of sleep per night, sleep is important for weight loss! I hope this helped you!!

How to Get Motivated to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Hi:)You might not be able to reach your goal of 20kg in 4 months, but that's not so bad, because if you loose weight more slowly, you won't gain it back as easily:) Normally you shouldn't loose more than 0,5-1kg a week, because it will only result in loosing mucslemass, which will just make things worse. Also, remember that you have to make lasting changes to your lifestyle, if not you'll just gain it all back. So first thing to do is to calculate your BMR, you can use this calculator;http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/metric-bmr-calculator.phpBMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate, and is basically the number of calories you will burn every day even if you were to spend your day in bed:P Keep in mind that your BMR will change as your weight change, so check it often:) By not eating more than your BMR, you will create a calorie deflict, which means the body will have to used stored energy to compensate for the calories you don't eat, namely your bodyfat. If you exercise as well, the calorie deflict will be greater and you'll loose weight more quickly. Do not however go below 1000 calories a day! Next you have to look at your diet. The best place to start I think are the infamous 5 a day; 3 greens and 2 fruits, of around 150grams each. Feel free to eat more, but preferably make them greens. Avoid carbohydrates. I'm NOT saying you should do a low carb diet, but most people eat more than enough carbs anyway, and you mainly need them when exercising or doing physical labour. You'll find carbs in pasta, rice, potatoes, bread etc. Eat your proteins! They are the buildingblocks of your mucles, and will help avoid loss of musclemass when loosing weight(the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn!). You'll find proteins in chicken, turkey, pork, tuna, shrimp etc. Just make sure you choose lean meat, like sirloin of pork instead of porkchops and bacon:P Also make sure you eat good fat, the kind you find in nuts and avacadoes for example:) Beware of calories in beverages! Next is exercise. Here it is important that you find something you enjoy doing, be it hiking in the mountains, running, soccer, tennis or whatever. Personally I can recommend swimming and martial arts, both burn a ton of calories and the latter will boost your confidence:) This should be enough for you in the first round to shed your extra weight. I wish you good luck!

  • 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.

How can i lose weight super fast? No matter what.?

I need to lose weight really fast. Like thirty pounds at least. In the next two weeks. I don't give one crap about whether it's healthy or not. I need to lose this now.

How to Lose Weight by Walking Fast

Recommended Answer:

Run! Do cardio and light weight lifting. Dieting is 80% of losing weight so be sure to eat 5-6 times a day, keeping your calorie intake to abotu 300 calories per small meal. It doesn't seem hard but once you see how many calories you normally eat and compare it to the new lifestyle, you will be in shock. Keep count of how many calories you intake on everydayhealth.com. They have an excellent calorie calculator that I use myself. Don't go past your daily limits. I shed off a few pounds in a week without even working out by eating small, frequent meals. So I believe that if you work out and eat those frequent, low-calorie meals, then you will lose weight really fast! My friend lost 40 lbs in 3 weeks by doing so.

Other Answers:

  • Hard work, patience, and good decisions.

You have a young, developing body that if you put too much stress on it can cause serious damage. There are zillions way for loosing weight and some will definetely work for you. Im just gonna give if a few things, nothing extreme, because that way u'd have more to loose than to gain, trust me.- cut on calories (read labels, if it's high in sugar and/or fat.. it will probably make you fat. except good fats! like in avocados and nuts)- move more. dont take that elevator ride, take stairs instead. go to the mall by foot.- introduce more fruits & veggies into your diet- drink plenty of water! if you feel thirst it's already late! - get enough sleep- take some basic suplements, these WILL NOT do wonders and don't even go there because you will get dissapointed. BUT some fat burning pills that increase metabolism can slightly make the weight loss faster.
  • your perfectly healthy and you don't need to loose 10 lbs.

Going Healthy- Advice?

My diet used to consist of junk food, pizza, soda, and candy. The past two weeks I''ve been eating fruits, salads, juices, vegetables, and drinking much more regular water. I''m still working out as well. I''ve had no results and I''m starting to crave lots of junk food (I''m also getting stressed- classes are stressful (I''m an 18 yr old college freshman) and my grandpa died yesterday) and so I just don''t want to treat myself to candy once or a few times this week and end up gaining weight :( I''ve really been trying and I don''t know what to do. My self esteem''s been really low lately, and I''m usually the happiest person I know. I know everyone has ups and downs, but please help me get through this. All advice is welcome and greatly appreciated

Stop Trying to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
I''m so sorry to hear about your grandpa. You''re going through a hard time right now, so go easy on yourself. It''s great that you cut out junk food, but you really do not need to cut it out entirely. You''re already experiencing the problem that happens when you cut it out completely - you crave it! So, it''s perfectly okay to have a treat a couple times a week and as long as you stay under your calorie goal, you will still lose weight. You should feel great about yourself and your new eating habits because you are on your way to losing weight and keeping it off. You''re making a lifestyle change, not going on a diet and this is what really works. Diet''s DON''T work, changing your whole lifestyle does. But, be careful drinking juice - it has a LOT of added sugar in it. Don''t forget to eat lean proteins like turkey, fish, chicken, plain greek yogurt, etc. Protein helps you feel full longer and retain muscle, which burns more calories even at rest.

I would recommend you join a website called My Fitness Pal or download the app. It''s a site for adults looking to lose weight and get healthier. It''s free to join and they tell you how many calories to eat based on your height/weight/age and how much weight you want to lose per week. It''s also great for connecting with other people who are also trying to lose and get healthier. You can add friends, ask questions, create a blog or you can just use it to log your food and exercise.

You are a strong person and you will get through this. Know that it''s okay to feel sad or bummed out about your grandpa. I would recommend talking to your parents about this, especially whomever''s parent it was because it''s very likely they are also feeling sad about it. Good luck!

Easy Ways to Lose Weight Fast - Get the Top Weight Loss Tips

Recommended Answer:
If you''re ready to commit to a solid plan, look up Starting Strength workout plan or a good 5x5 routine to build a strong muscular base. For cardio, use that treadmill to do HIIT which is interval training; proven to retain muscle and its the best way to burn fat fast but its definitely not easy. Start gradually and you''ll see gains in a few weeks. If you want to throw off the fat first, start with Insanity to get a lean physique. Lifting doesnt directly make you skinnier but it boosts metabolism which helps with weight loss and the added muscle does even out the flab. Good luck. Don''t forget your diet is just as important as exercising. Don''t undereat thinking that you''ll lose fat because if anything, you might gain weight as your body will go into maintenance mode to compensate for not enough nutrients being taken in. Just eat ALOT of lean and healthy foods to see gains.

What is the Best Way to Lose Weight Without Exercise? Discover the Truth Behind Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
You can always try to jog. Its easy and helps your legs and your heart.

Jogging Is A Great Way to Exercise

When it comes to benefits from exercise, jogging is one of the easiest and best ways to remain healthy. For people who are at high risk of developing heart disease and need to undertake some heart disease prevention measures, or even if they are healthy and are wanting those coveted six pack abs, they have a solution in jogging. This is one exercise that guarantees fat loss and will develop muscle definition. Jogging is also a great stress buster and gives one a lot of time to clear the mind of clutter and stress.

Jogging is the next best thing to yoga, or so experts have us believe. The entire body benefits from jogging, which helps everything from fat loss to cardiovascular improvement and prevents injury by strengthening muscles in the whole body.

What Is Jogging and How Does It Help?

Jogging is running at a slow steady, speed as opposed to running that is usually a much faster form of jogging – more of a sprint to get to a place quicker. Jogging, one can say, is “leisurely” running at a much slower consistent pace over a longer period of time. Jogging is better than running because you will be putting in much less effort than you would if you were running, thus you burn energy steadily over a longer period of time and burning more fat, while all the time, you tone up those muscle groups.

When you jog, you do not tire yourself out and are ready to face the day fresh and full of energy. You will be left with a healthier, slimmer you because you have toned up your body steadily and have conditioned it to bear more stress over time. By jogging, you gradually burn fat, which will stay off permanently. This is something you will not be able to achieve if you run instead of jog.

The Best Way to Get A Flat Stomach – Jogging

If you are thinking of which gadget or piece of exercise equipment to buy to get that flat stomach you have wanted for so long, you should know that a flat stomach need not cost you a cent. In fact, the means to a flat stomach is not the crunches and sit-ups that you are thinking of. All you need to do is start jogging every day.

Begin with a slow paced jog for about fifteen minutes every day then take it up to a faster steadier pace for an hour each day as you begin to grow accustomed to the exertion. Remember that you should keep up the exercise for a fixed period of time each day. If you get tired you could slow down to a steady walk until your breathing is back to normal, then begin to jog again. Slowly, over time, you will find that you can jog a whole hour without a pause. What is more, you will find that you have lost a lot of fat and reduced weight too.

Jogging is the best form of cardio anyone can do. It is an exercise where one can control the heart and respiratory rate. The heart rate must not exceed 120 percent of the normal rate. When the heart rate reaches the maximum limit you should slow down till it normalizes before you begin to jog again.

Fat Loss through Interval Training

Among the many ways to lose weight, fat loss through interval training is the best. This is a combination of jogging at a fast pace till the heart rate increases and then slowing down to a comfortable pace till the heart rate normalizes and then starting all over again. This process must continue for at least one hour every day. This switching over from fast to slow exercising is known as “interval training” and is a great way to lose weight and is also a great way to exercise.

  • To burn more calories you need to exercise.
    To burn fat, you need to burn more calories than you consume.

    Good way of tracking exercise is to pay close attention to heart and breathing rates.
    Good way to prevent over eating of calories is to fill up on vegetables and water.

Fast Ways to Lose Weight - Do Such Methods Exist and Are They Effective Over the Long Term?

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).

  • Fall in love.
  • You don''t need to lose weight , forcing the body to lose weight is not good for a girl of your age , because you meed proteins to help your body grow correctly without any problem. of course that not eating junk food and just good natural food will make you grow correctly and healthy.
  • You''re only thirteen love. You shouldn''t be worrying about that.
    You also didn''t mention how tall you are, which is really important.
    If youre 5''4...being 100lbs would make you look ill!
    Just eat clean-fruits, veggies, nuts, water, lean meats
    And exercise daily, 30-60 minutes of cardio (anything that gets your heart rate up!)





    LOL my phone auto-corrected it. Sorry!
    I meant to say "only" but it changed it to "not"
    I fixed it. Sorry!
  • You have to cut your portion sizes. Don''t fall for fad diets where you don''t eat any protein etc. As a young still developing person you need to be sure to have a well rounded balanced diet. Be sure to get protein and calcium in your diet etc. Try to avoid the bad foods altogether such as sweets and fried things and cut your portions.
  • drink plenty of water. weigh yourself every other day. eat fiber. work out an hour 5-7 days a week.
  • that much is also okay but if you want to reduce weight up to 100 lbs then do exercise and don,t eat too much fat .eat balanced diet

I''m depressed about my weight gain is this normal?

I''m a 28 year old woman.I once weighed 230 pounds and lost the weight and got down to 135 pounds.I''m 5''6'''' BTW.Anyway my mother claimed I looked "sick" so I gained weight.Now I''m about 140 or 145 pounds. Though I''m NOT overweight I look like I am.Maybe I should tone but even with toning I''d still be a bit "Thick" looking.



I feel so disappointed in myself and I feel fat! I will never listen to anyone again in regards of my looks (including my mother) I''m so depressed.I came so far just to look like this.


I''m on a 1200 calorie diet and active trying to lose 2 pounds a week.Will I have a hard time losing weight because I''m 28 years old? I feel so bad and so fat and nasty. :(

Lose Weight Fast - How NOT to Lose Weight Fast!

Recommended Answer:
Hey, calm down. You aren''t fat or nasty, 145 pounds isn''t even a lot of extra weight (for 5''6 120-140 pounds is the right weight, 160 pounds is slightly overweight). So you aren''t overweight, you''re in the right place. Just keep eating 1200 calories (of healthy food) and try to exercise (do some light cardio, walking, crunches and pushups are good too). It shouldn''t be too hard for you to lose weight, just stick with it and don''t give up.

  • Of course you won''t have a hard time. 28 is still young and your body is still capable of burning fat like nothing if you exercise regularly.
  • Yes it''s normal

Can't reach my goal weight, advice?

I am 5'5 -5'6 and I weigh 124. (Amazingly) I've already lost 35 lbs over 9-10 months.

But I am stuck now. My goal is 120. And all I want is to say I reached my goal. I've accomplished my goal. I just can't settle at the 124 mark.

I've tried so many different exercises daily. But I am at a brick wall.
Any advice to beat this plateau?
Thanks!

How Thai Food Can Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
I got stuck at around 120 lbs in my last plateau (I'm a bit shorter than you). So I tried calorie cycling. After a prolonged time at eating a low calorie intake your BMR lowers and your metabolism slows to that amount. So the theory behind calorie cycling is that it wakes up your metabolism and confuses it.
I tried it and actually raised my calories back up (I had dropped from 1400 to 1200 cals for 6 wks and then got stuck) to an avg of 1400 cals and calorie cycled around that number. It's been 2 weeks now and I lost another 5 lbs!

I was a bit skeptical about it at first but have heard so many people including bodybuilders and fitness models raving about it so I thought I'd give it a go and it worked! You can use this calculator to figure out a plan. You have to calculate your daily calorie intake and then it will give you the option of choosing a calorie cycling plan (zig zag diet plan): http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm

Foods to Lose Weight Healthily

Recommended Answer:
Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

You can always eat negative calorie foods for weight loss and below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

Negative Calorie Fruits:
apples
cranberries
grapefruit
lemons
mangoes
oranges
pineapple
raspberries

tangerines

Negative Calorie Vegetables:
asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrots
cauliflower
celery
Chile peppers (hot)
cucumber
dandelions
endives
garden cress
garlic
green beans
lettuce
onions
papaya
radishes

turnips

These foods don't actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself.

For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants and enzymes as well as vitamins and minerals.

    There are several ways in which stress can contribute to weight gain. One has to do with cortisol, a stress hormone. When we’re under stress, the fight or flight response is triggered in our bodies, leading to the release of various hormones.

    Metabolism -- Commonly people are gaining weight when they are stressed, you tend to eat more or sometime, you're eating the same amount of food as always. This is because, too much cortisol can slow your metabolism, causing more weight gain than you would normally experience. This also makes dieting more difficult.

    Nowadays, we are searching for a quick bite in our fast-paced lifestyles. We grab drive-thru burgers and fatty fried foods on the go because healthy homemade meals aren't as accessible. So, Herbalife Formula 1, nutritious shake is complete to replace unhealthy meal.

    With or without Herbalife product, our body needs enough water. Are you drinking enough water? If you're not, you could end up with excess body fat, poor muscle tone, digestive complications, muscle soreness -- even water-retention problems

    "Proper water intake is a key to weight loss. If people who are trying to lose weight don't drink enough water, the body can't metabolize the fat adequately. Retaining fluid also keeps weight up."

    Give Herbalife a second chance. I'm more than happy to be your personal coach (FOC) because my responsibility to help people for Herbalife.

How do I get rid of a near obese figure?

I'm 6.1 feet tall and weigh 98kg...that would be near 200lbs I guess. I have a little bit man boobs.
I have a rather big tummy, a lot of fat on waist and thighs.

I used to go to a gym but that didn't help my man boobs at all. How do I get rid of them? Should I run A LOT and eat a lot of protein?

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks. :)

To lose stomach fat you have to throw out the junk food! You are what you eat, so don’t eat junk. Do not keep junk food like cookies, chips, sweets and other similar products in your house.
Try not to have late night snacks. The main problem with late night snacking is that there is not much activity done after wards. People go straight to bed.Decrease alcohol consumption. If you drink a lot, you will accumulate fat around your waist. Excess alcohol consumption can really give you a belly. Exercise is vital for weight loss and long-term health. Exercising has an immediate effect on weight, in that as you exercise you burn energy.The more muscles you have the more fat you will burn ? Don't starve your self and drink lots of water. Don't eat from a drive threw and eat small portion sizes.

My brother was 115 kg and with poison size eating , exercise and lots of water he lost weight up to 65 kg in 1 and a half year

  • do push ups i also had man boobs, but ever since i started push ups, i partially have the shape of a ripped chest ./.......push ups would do the work,do 100 a day

  • okay, to get into shape , speed up your metabolism, rid yourself of excess fat and lose weight ,,,,,do as follows:

    Stop drinking & smoking (if you do this regularly)
    eat fruits & vegetables all you can (buy a slow cooker /food steamer & rice/pasta cooker to make it easy on you)...(vegetables might not seem "tasty", like junk foods,, but can be as you aquire your taste to them..and are loaded with energy and nutrients)...avoid all junk food, cokes, sweets, etc...and drink mainly water (green tea , juice & milk being the other options you drink). If you eat meat ,,use only steamed, baking or grilled methods for preparing fish or chicken.

    also, do an hour of walking each day at least. or some type of excercise.

How many cup sizes can you lose with weight loss?

I am at a 34DD/34E right now, and I'm only 15. It is the worst, I look fat in everything, and I'm sick of it. I am 5"4, and I weigh 140 pounds. Last week I started a calorie counter app, and I've lost 5 pounds already. I want to get down to 115 pounds. How many cup sizes will I lose?
Thank you, and any other suggestions are appreciated.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to predict. It's like asking how much weight will I lose from my butt when I lose weight. However, breasts are 100% fat, so it's likely that you will lose *some* weight from there. But, I have lost 57lbs so far and haven't gone down even 1 cup size. You don't have much weight to lose, so I'm thinking as you get closer to 125-130, you should see some difference.

I can tell you that I know how hard it is to have big breasts as a teenager. You're doing the right thing by counting calories and eating healthier.

You could also join a free website called SparkTeens.com. It's a place where people who want to get healthier can get some guidance, but it's geared towards teenagers. You can connect with other teens trying to get healthier and see what's working for them. Good luck!

It is okay to have a some fat (you really do need to have some fat on your body in order to be healthy). The weight increase is probably due to muscle increase (muscle weighs more than fat). Remember to stay away from sugary beverages (they add too many extra calories into your diet). Since it seems that you are being healthy, my best advice is to be happy with yourself. And remember the saying "meat is for the man, bones are for the boys" because men really do like some meat on their women and they do not like to hug a women that goes "crunch". Good night.

  • diet and do more exercise!
  • Eat healthy(kale is very good), try a new sport, don't go to the gym and lift weights.
  • The problem could probably be with the food that you are eating and the intervals (meaning the duration of time between each meal) that you are eating in. If you are eating fatty foods (rich in saturated, trans fats) throughout the day its not going to help even if you lived at the gym. The fastest and easiest way to lose weight is to combine healthy food with going to the gym. You don't necessarily have to go on a diet, just the word itself usually stops people from wanting to lose weight. Just eat better more nutrient dense food. (Instead of a donut and coffee for breakfast, with very high sugar and calories, try omelets, a bowl of fruit, and a glass of orange juice, not that many calories and very nutritious and really not that bad to eat) Just make small adjustments in your diet and I'm positive you'll see results instantly.
  • Gym is good but , instead go for swimming !!
    daily1hour morning and 1 hour in evening swim gives you a faster results !!
  • Take the stairs.
    Park way in the back of the parking lot and take the extra walk.
    Avoid fatty foods.
    Set goals.
  • Gym helps but it does not work well if you are not maintaining a good diet.

What should I eat in order to lose weight? (17 yr female)?

I'm 5 foot 3 and I weigh around 105 pounds (BMI of 18.6) but I'm not happy with my body and I want to lose excess fat.

Would you be able to give me a rough idea of how many calories I should consume each day if I want to lose a significant amount of weight in 3 weeks?

My daily exercises:

30 mins of walking.
45 mins of dancing (rather energetic)
30 squats
30 lunges
As many bicycle sit-ups as I can manage.

Given my daily exercises, how many calories should I look to be consuming in order to noticeably lose weight (several pounds) and tone up?

Thank you.

How Thai Food Can Help You Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Young boys and girls are mislead. It takes more than just simple exercise to lose weight. Its predominantly about your diet. If you eat less calories than you burn throughout the day, then you will lose weight. If you eat more, then obviously you will gain weight. Find out how much you burn throughout the day at normal and with whatever exercise you do, then try and cut that number by 100 - 300 calories with what you eat daily and you will notice fat loss. Make sure the food you eat is good food not crappy fast food otherwise itll be counterproductive and you will just get weak and ill. Also don't eat throughout the day, thats bullsh*t, what you want to be doing is fasting for about 16 hours of the day, and fit ALL your meals in an 8 hour window. This way, you will get hungry when you're not eating (obviously) and your body has no option but to tap into your fat stores. No youre not starving yourself. No this is not a stupid idea. I do this, its called intermittent fasting and you shed weight so quickly, you dont need to buy any gimmicky product its just common sense. If you follow my advice you will start to feel much more benefits than just fat loss.

Hope I helped

  • Stay off junk food. Exercise 3-5 times a week for 30 min-1 hour every time.

How much weight lost if I eat 100 caloies a day?

I've managed to eat 150 calories today and burn off like 300 or something(but sometimes I can burn up to 600 or slightly more). How much weight will I lose a week if I continue to do this?
I'm 5'1 113lbs
I've been trying to do the math but it's pissing me the hell off and I can't figure it out. :/
Please don't tell me not to do this, it won't affect me. I'll obviously still do it to find out myself.
Thanks :)
Oh and I've heard about starvation mode but I don't believe when they say if you eat 100 calories every day and burn 300 you won't lose weight.

Recommanded Answer:
You will lose some maybe 5 to 10lbs. But as another user said eat 500 calories. That will give ya more energy as well. Hope this helps meg. Sorry for being rude to before that was wrong of me.

  • you're a top contributor in this section but you dont know how bad this is for you...?

    when you eat so little calories, your body starts holding onto your stored fat and end up using your muscles as the source of energy. if you eat anything, your body will break that down and store it as fat. so in the end, you end up losing muscle and having more fat than when you started
  • Lol I eat 500 calories a day and I have people complaining on how it's bad, but that's not gonna stop me. Try to eat at least 500, 100 is very little. Drink lots of water though. But good luck(:
