Are some people not meant to be thin?

I'm 18 and a male, for the past 4 years I've gone on and off diets and work out routines, with 0 pounds lost, I eat well, do some cardio, run a little, lift a little, all that good stuff, but nothing. Then i turn around and look at my ( no offence ) lazy azz friend who can wolf down an entire pizza BY HIM SELF like shaggy from scooby doo and not gain a dam thing. What the crap, Explain to me how that works. Can I just never be thin or what? On a side note what food makes your face fat?

How Does Losing Weight Affect Health?

Recommended Answer:

I wouldn't say anyone is meant to or not meant to be thin, but some of us have a harder time getting where we want to be. It sounds to me like your body is at one of its natural weight plateaus which means you may have to do several things at the same time to get it to lose, or gain, weight. First, look at your genetic predisposition toward body shape. If both your parents are somewhat round of body, chances are pretty good that you will also have inherited that shape. Next, check your BMI, about 21/2 lbs to an inch of height is almost perfect, so if that's what you are, you may just want to rearrange the weight distribution. Next, were you a fat baby? If so, your body has developed fat storage cells which will expand and contract according to what you eat and how much energy you burn. Eat healthy, as much as possible. Maintaining a balanced diet is important, so don't go on binges too often. Exercise according to your calorie intake and do more to burn off excess calories. Some people have a faster or slower metabolic rate, so the amount of exercise will differ from body to body. Shape and tone your muscles to emphasize the parts of your body you want to appear better developed. Swimming helps slim the waist, bicycling is good for the legs, weightlifting is good for arms and shoulders, and walking generally is good for most of the body. Check with a physical education instructor or personal trainer for specific exercises to attain what you want. Drink plenty of water and try to avoid caffeinated drinks. Soda is generally not too good for you, but it does have its uses. Good luck, and remember, repetition is actually better than short spurts of high energy--lifting ten pounds a hundred times is better for your endurance and musculature than lifting 100 lbs ten times.

How long until I see results from jogging?

Hello! I am a 17 year old girl. I am 5 feet 1 and 122 pounds. I know I'm not exactly overweight, but I am getting chubby so I want to lose weight. I used to walk, but I felt as though it wasn't really helping so starting Saturday I started jogging 2 miles every day (1 mile in the morning before breakfast, 1 mile at night before dinner). . I am also eating healthier (breakfast: cheerios with sliced apples, lunch: spinach salad, snack: banana, dinner: w/e my mother cooks in moderation. i'm asian but I'm not eating as much rice anymore lol )I was wondering how long it will take to see changes in my body. I feel as though jogging has given me a harder stomach. I can feel my lower ab muscles being used when I'm jogging, and my stomach is pretty flat/hard. The problem is my thighs are big.Please give me advice about eating/ exercise! thank you =)ive also been doing squats and tricep exercise videos released by blogilates =)

you r right, your not fat, but just a bit chunky.keep jogging, it will come your see results already, right? as faras your legs, you can actually get bulky doing that. you would better, doing leg lifts, front sid back. do some pelvic thrust, on you back, shoulders on the ground knees uo feet on the ground and lifting your butt off, pelvis going up, makes sense/ you can google it. lol also fire hire, leg lifts, those HURT!!!! but they work. doing this kind of leg work will tone you with out bulking. squats, your building, cuz your lifting 122 lbs with your thighs!! that builds muscles. youve got a great work out going so keep it up.. your better off doing reps, some leg lifts, with only 10-20 lbs ( or none) on them with lots of rep. that wont build bulk. rather than weight and and shorter lift time. as far as food goes, cut back ,earn what a PROPER serving size really is. you said your eating less rice, thats good.but if you learn how to count calories,m and learn what serving really is, you will see even MORE results. a cup of rice is about 200 cals , and alot of carbs. ask your mom to use less oil in her cooking for the vegies and meats your putting on your rice. 1 table spoon of oil is 100 cals. ti all adds up. idont even bother coutning carbs, if you just keep your cals under 1200 you willl keep losing weight. 800 if you want to lose even faster, but you cant stay at that intake for very long. walking does work and it works great. if you walk 4MPH you burn 400 cals, that 4 miles in 1 hour, thats only a 15 min. mile times 4. if you can find a good hill carry a back back with some weight in it, youll burn more. i odnt hwy, but bananas arent he best for snacking on. if you love the out door,, dont know where you live, but find a hiking club, if youve got some hill mountains, I live in washington state, hiking is the BEST!!! going up and down you use all you body mmucles, even your tummy. plus you get to be outdoors away from cars/noise. you those cals just seem to STICK! lol theres only about 100 cals in banana, and apple has 80, but they burn quicker, go figure. ive dont it all. im 56 5ft 7 and weigh 120, im lucking when i gain 10 lbs, you ca see it, but i still feel it. i like being lightm it just feelbetter more energy, i move easier too. a serving of cereal isnt just a bowl full. a serving of cereal is about 3/4-1 cup, and is about 100 calsuntil you add the milk. 2 eggs white scrambles is only 40 cals, and ALL protein, 2 reg scrambled eggs is 160 cals, protien and fat. 2 tablespoon of peanut butter is 200 cals, same as butter.. so learn your proper portions think about increasing your milage by walking or jogging. 2 miles isnt very much, you really need to go by time, not miles.understand? you should be SO proud of yourself, for deciding to do this!, i dont even know you but im proud of you. youve piked some great things to do. just a few tweaks and i think youll see more results.a slo remember muscle weighs more than fat. so has your building muscles, you wight may not be droppin like you think. go by the fell and size of your clothing. you rlothes should be etting a bit loser. YAY!you go girl! .

• minor results probably a couple days to a week or two, minor results, not a lot of change. A month to a couple months you should see some more apparent results
• Just Keep it up! You will see results! Even if it takes time
• You should start to feel better and more confident about yourself just after 1 week. Though significant physical changes will only start to occur when you have stuck to it consistently for 4 weeks. After that, I would just recommend maybe running 1.5 mile every time you go out running. This slight increase at the 4 week point will make better results and it isn't much tougher running 1.5 mile than 1 mile. Great diet though so well done!
• Squat to glory my friend, SQUAT for that sexy thighs and round butt.Jump squats, dumbbel jump squats, lunges, situps, smith machine squats, deadlifting, romanian deadlifting. This is the solution for that beautifully defined thigh. Patience is key.All the best

How to Lose Weight in the Face in a Week

Recommended Answer:

I'm anorexic so I hope anything I might say might not be my disorder talking but. firstly I lost 15 pounds in 2 months. which is insane. what I did was I cut out ALL junk food or unhealthy stuff. Drink little to no milk, because milk will just make your hormones act up. plus while you're doing this your skin will clear up. Also no cheese. make you get around 800 calories, I usually eat that amount, and nothing more then 1000 or less then 500. Also drink 10 glasses of water a day. AND!! For great weight loss, ALWAYS drink 2 cold glasses of water before EVERY meal. it will burn calories. taking freezing cold showers will burn fat since your body is using all that fat to warm you up 10 minutes of cold shower 100 calories burn 15 minutes 250 30 minute 399! Hmm.. never eat after 6. BUT if you wanna be healthier have 5 SMALL meals literally if you put your 2 fist together you should eat that amount each meal. But each meal should only be 100-250 calories. Now that we got all the healthy eating. we need to work out. Do 100-200 crunches everyday (not at once but in total) 100 squats 100 push-up will burn 1000 calories. Run every morning for 2 miles/km or however many you can. Run 4km every afternoon. and sprinting for 60 minutes a day will burn more calories you will burn a week of jogging.drinking green tea will help a lot!Source(s):I guarantee you will lose 10 pounds. I lost 3 pounds in 2 days lolDo not eatMilk products cheesepizza .. none of that! No sodas or sugary drinksnothing kicky or sugary no chocolate bars or candy.

How to Lose Weight Gain Muscle

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.
