How to Lose Stomach Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:

I recommend that instead of trying to diet, to change your whole lifestyle around. Otherwise you will gain the weight you take off if you do a fad diet.What I do everyday is I wake up at 5, take a 30min-1hour jog, and eat a high protein breakfast, 1 piece of whole wheat toast, 2 hardboiled eggs, greek yogurt, a glass of milk, and a fruit and veggie smoothie (kale, cucumber, lemon, ginger, spinach, pineapple, and berries). I go to work at 8, and at 10-10:30 i eat a small snack. like a granola bar, a small piece of fruit, etc. lunch time i usually eat a salad with lean meat, like chicken breast, or a piece of fish with lots of veggies, and maybe some hummus. Hummus is a great food with lots of protein! And after work, which is 3 o'clock, I have another snack, maybe the rest of the fruit from the morning, or another granola bar. and for dinner i eat small, just a bowl full of steamed veggies and some tofu or fish. you want to eat most of your calories in the morning and less at night. I go by the korean saying "breakfast like a queen, lunch like a commoner, and dinner like a pauper" its healthier to have all of your calories in the morning so you don't sleep with too much undigested food. I like to walk places as much as I can for the exercise. I walk to work if it is nice out, and I walk or bike to get groceries :) Plus walking saves the earth! When I want more exersize I watch videos from http://www.blogilates.com/ because she has some great body focus videos and it can really tone your body. Also, after a workout make sure you stretch so your muscles don't bulk up and you get the nice long lean toned muscle look.

• I'm in the same situation. I'm extremely short 4'11 so losing weight/keeping it off is so hard. I weighed 137.8lbs. The doctors refused to give me diet pills. So I TRIED EVERY diet. Atkins, south beach, 500calories, smoothie diet ect .. they all worked but were way to hard to stay on so the weight came back almost instantly. I tried a diet that involved eating sandwiches and soup. Its working really well! These are my last 25 lbs I'm trying to lose. They're exposed to be the hardest to lose but not with this diet. Just eat a sandwich for breakfast a sandwich for lunch and a cup of soup for dinner. If you get hungry inbetween eat a bannana or a cup of fruit. I've been eating grilled cheese, tuna sandwich, and brocolli and cheese soup with a bowl of pineapple at night. Try to drink lots of water. I use crystal light in my water since I think waters gross. I've been on it for a week and have lost 5 lbs. Try it! Good luck

What is the physical process of getting a flat stomach?

Hello there,

So..I''ve been working out for 2 weeks. I know, changes don''t happen over night..but I was wondering what/where I should watch for to see if I''m working out correctly..?

I would just like to know where I should be losing fat around my body first and how will I know?

So far..right under my belly, I can feel it getting harder..but my belly is still out there (is that normal?)

About me:
-Female
-20 years old
-160 lbs
-5''1 or 5''0
-Apple shaped body/ beer belly?

Workout (6 days a week):
-Pilates- 1.5 hours

Recommended Answer:
If you feel your abs getting ''harder'' it means you are building muscle underneath fat. I suggest you do a combination of strength and cardio (HIIT are the best) to get those abs out of hiding.
Because you are apple shaped, the last place you are going to lose fat from is your tummy. But don''t be discouraged! It''s great that you cut out junk food but don''t give up carbs entirely. (they are not as bad as some people say)
Also, don''t workout that much. 4-5 times a weeks, max 2 hours per day is more than enough.
Good luck!!

• If you run every day or at least every other day for the next 3-4 months you will be epic.
  Eat right, drink water instead of soda as much as you can, beer sucks, etc etc
  
  Just get a sick playlist for your ipod and run at least a mile a day or some heart racing activity for 20 minutes a day. Get active.

Lose Weight Fast - How NOT to Lose Weight Fast!

Recommended Answer:
Well, the healthy amount of weight to lose is no more than 1 kg a week.. even though I personally hate hearing that and try losing 2-3 kg a week..

I''d say one of the easiest ways is to go vegan for a while. It''s actually very interesting, you get to explore many new foods and it feels good to know you''re contributing to the whole help-the-animals-thing :)

The first 3-5 days I''d say are the hardest, you might experience a lot of cravings like chocolate, fried food, depending on what you''re used to indulging in. After that, it''s actually quite easy.

A normal meal plan for me when I go vegan, would be:

Breakfast:
Black coffee
Oat meal (made with water, not milk) with cinnamon on top for extra flavor and a metabolism boost
(You could also have a banana with the oat meal if you need more calories)

Lunch:
Steamed carrots and broccoli
(You could add a handful of almonds and some raisins for more energy)

Dinner:
Brown rice (I prefer it just cooked without anything added, and with nothing on the side, but of course you could add more vegetables)

And if you want dessert, you could go for sweet fruits like pineapple, mango, melons etc.

With a diet like this you''ll get a lot of vitamins and nutrients, but you must be careful not to get a calcium deficiency since you''re not drinking milk.

I highly recommend trying this out for a couple of weeks, if you have any questions, feel free to message me :)

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.
