How to Lose Weight Quickly for Women Over 40

Recommended Answer:

1.Walk daily. This is the simplest exercise for legs. Use a step counter. You should try to walk about 10,000 steps each day.2.Go running. Running will use more energy and in turn help burn fat. Try to do this at least three times per week3.Use a stationary bike or go biking. Bike riding provide a shockingly high caloric burn of about 500-600 calories an hour, making it one of the best exercise for reducing body fat.4.Do a simple floor exercise. Lay flat on your back with your legs on the floor. Put your arms out beside you on the floor. Bring your knee up to where the highest part of your profile is. Then, with your other leg, kick it as high as it will go. Return it to the floor. Do 60 of these kicks, then switch sides and do 60 more.5.Try leg rolls. Lie on your right side and place your left arm on the floor in front of you for support and balance. With your left leg, raise it at hip level. Pretend your leg is in a barrel and with your toes, lead the rest of your leg to trace the inside of the barrel. Do 60 circles and then switch and do 60 more.6.Try rebounding on a trampoline. Rebounding uses a lot of calories and you have fun at the same time. It also exercises your muscles leading to a more toned appearance.7.Try Pilates. Pilates is an ideal exercise for building lean leg muscles. The stretching and core exercises burn fat in the most hated trouble areas and it is perfect for people who don't want to be on show while exercising. A mat, a DVD (or local class) and a bottle of water is all you need.8.Go swimming! Go to a public pool when it's not too crowded. You will have a better chance of doing this if you go in the evening. Do some laps using freestyle motion. Swimming is an excellent way to burn leg fat and build up leg muscle.9.Use a stability ball. While lying on a mat or bed, place the ball in front of you. Place your legs on top of the ball, lift your hips up, and slowly roll the ball in towards your hips. Do this until you can no longer go anymore and make sure your hips don't fall to the floor.10.Use an elliptical trainer without an incline. Using an incline can build calf muscle. Keep the resistance low.

How much calories should a dieter be eating everyday?

Hi, I 'm trying to loose weight before school starts and I just need to know how much calories I should be consuming everyday. Today I was only able to consume about 610 calories cause I had a super unhealthy breakfast(organic oatmeal with no salt or sugar.... and two klondike ice cream squares:( Please tell me on how I could be eating a healthy breakfast-thank you

How to Lose Weight Drastically

Recommended Answer:

610 is absolutely not enough. It really depends on your body's needs, but shoot for around 1000, and more if you're exercising (which you should be if you're trying to lose weight, or simply be healthy). Don't obsess over weight or calories, though-- use your number as a general guideline, not as a hard-and-fast rule. Never feel guilty if you overstep your guideline.Best of luck!

Other Answers:

• It really depends on how heavy you are starting off. I'm a 5'10" male that weighs 140 pounds. I have been able to lose over 20 pounds in the last month and a half by sticking to 1500 calories a day and exercising. Lift weights and run, it dosnt matter what the calories are made of, just as long as you are under your budget. I'm not an expert but I have done enough research to know a thing or two. Good luck losing the weight! Ps... Never eat ice cream.... Ever... Throw it away.... For breakfast try eggs and a lean sausage... Im building muscle so I just eat pork for every meal every day...
• its not hard!!!! dont eat the ice cream! lol plus you need to MEASURE out how much oatmeal your eating, you dont have a bowl full. look on the box what serving size is. you cant eat about 800-1000 a day, more if your active enough to burn it off.

How to Burn Body Fat and Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Some people simply have really fast metabolisms, so their body burns more calories all the time...Having said that, eating a large amount is fine IF you are eating healthy...you're consuming an awful lot of carbs/sugar and unhealthy fat in that meal...Carbs should be whole grain products, preferably "clean' (no additives or extra processing)...for example I buy fresh bread from my supermarket bakery that has about 5 ingredients (not counting the list of seeds they put on top)...all the ingredients are things I'm familiar with and can pronounce...Fruit is great and 2 oranges and a banana is fine...however, you could have saved 1 or 2 of those pieces of fruit for a snack between b'fast and lunch...Bacon is okay in moderation, but a lean protein would be a better alternative (chicken, fish, eggs, etc)...bacon is high in animal fat, which of course is not a healthy fat...Veggies are high in fiber and don't carry a lot of calories...perhaps instead of bacon and pancakes you might try an omelet (omit some or all the egg yolks) with peppers, onion, avocado, or any other types of veggies that you like...It's okay to eat a lot if you don't gain weight from it, but just because you are slim doesn't mean you are healthy...what you eat is more important in some ways than how much you eat...

How to Lose Weight Fast With Yoga

Recommended Answer:

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htmThe natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening.Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.
