Tips on how to loose weight?.. Read ahead....?

Ok so I am a 19 year old female of Native American ethnicity. Before I got pregnant my weight was at 132 for a 5'4 female, my frame was skinny - medium built. Since my pregnancy, my final weight at my 37 week check up (had my son at 38weeks). I was 184, I know! I gained a lot! But my son was a healthy 6 1/2 lb 20" baby. I went down to 170 at my 6 week PP check up. Then I just been a stay at home mother, now I am at 175. I have did the insanity for 2 weeks, lost 12 lbs! Amazing!! But after the two weeks, we started traveling & just never got in the workouts :( I would have been finish this saturday! But my main concern is, how could I tone my body? I have fat arms & a flabby tummy. So disgusting!! Is there any way I could actually lose & just a tone? I don't want to be muscular or 'butch', i just don't like that look. For some ladies they do, but i just don't. Please, any advice from trainers? Or anyone who made a complete transformation? I know I can get back to my flat tummy, tone legs & arms, I'm just having a hard time lossing :(

Regardless, exercise is not the key to fat loss. Diet is.Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet. Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn but you can't always burn as many as you take in.Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success. An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness. There is one cardinal rule of dieting (and thermodynamics) and that is: As long as your daily energy output exceeds your daily energy intake, you have to burn from your body (fat or lean tissue). The secret of fat loss is finding food items you enjoy that will keep you well nourished and feeling full without going over your BMR ( http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html ) in daily calories.To find out how the best minds in nutrition in the world (at the US NIH) have recommended for decades we lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615QJM4X_3ID9_05qmmlXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111028185603AAVcP4D Good luck and good health!!♠PS: Here are some good websites you may find useful.• BEST SEARCH ENGINE http://www.usa.gov• A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/• BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

How to Lose Weight Eating Fast Food

Recommended Answer:

If you want to know how to lose the fat on your stomach, you do have to appreciate that it does have its challenges. But, if you have the right information, a belly fat diet plan does not have to be as hard as it may initially appear. As a starting point, totally avoid processed foods and substitute them with nutrient-dense, natural foods. This first step will certainly help you to lose the fat on your stomach and you will lose weight and feel healthier in a much quicker way than you thought possible.Fresh Fruit and VegetablesMake sure that you include a wide range of fresh fruit and vegetables to what you eat each day as these foods help you get the nutritional supplements you need to support your body system. For example, calcium is good for healthy bones. Vitamin C helps your immune system and vitamin A supports healthier vision and skin.Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of carbohydrates and fibre. Carbs are essential because they provide fuel for your body system. Fibre manages the bowels and expands in your stomach to help you remain fuller for longer. And obviously, the longer than you feel full, the less you will eat and the more likely you are to lose the fat on your stomach.Poultry and BeansBeans and poultry provide your body with protein it needs to stay healthy.

Fats also enable your body system use vitamins more efficiently.Be Patient If you remove processed junk food from your daily diet and substitute them with the meals listed above, you can lose the fat on you stomach but it will not happen overnight. The secret of how to lose the fat on your stomach is to have a sensible diet plan that you can stick to with foods that you like eating.

Lose Weight in 24 Hours - 4 Easy Tips to Losing Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:
jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it''s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! Your stomach would be flatter and stronger.
Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

• I like to do sit ups every day. And of course running helps, it''s the best way to get abs and loose weight. Just do a few exercising everyday for a few days. It''s much easier then it sounds trust me. I have a nice trail by my house and it''s really relaxing. Hope you loose the weight!

Quick Weight Loss Tips - How to Lose Weight Safely and Sustainably

Recommended Answer:
About 2 months with the right diet. A good plan would be:

Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.

Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...

If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant.

• if you work hard enough, you could lose 2lbs a week. so I''m thinking around 2 months or so
• It might take about a good month and some weeks
• Depends... Your weight loss will depend on your genetics, exercise/activity level, your diet, hydration levels and your sleep patterns.
  
  1. Drink plenty of water
  2. Avoid processed foods
  3. Eat lean meats, veggies/fruits and good fats
  4. Exercise regularly
  5. Avoid alcohol in excess
  6. Try to sleep 6-8 hrs per night
  7. Manage stress
  
  If you stick to these basics, there is no reason why you can''t lose 1-2 pounds per week.
  
  That''s the recipe!!! Good Luck.
• It depends on how fat you are at this point. The more obese and otu of shape you are the easier it will be to lose the weight.
  
  1. Avoid processed foods (ex. anything in a wrapper).
  2. Stick to: lean meats, veggies, fruits, and whole grains.
  3. Drink lots of water it helps your metabolism.
  4. Exercise. If you dont'' know how, go on youtube for ideas.
• Theres a calculator for this I''ve been using it recently.
  You tell it your goal how much you want to lose a week so how every weeks you have till you go and divide it up. Then add your meals (once you''ve added one once you can click them in after that) add any exercise you do, and it calculates every time you add something if you are on target to lose said lb''s that week or gain...
  
  What is good about a gadget like this is that you can add your meals for the day before you have them, then you can tweak them so you know you''re always on target. It also add cholesterol levels which I just love.. It shocked me how high mine was I always thought my diet was quite healthy lol :)
  
  I promise you, you won''t regret trying it. You might be like I was and a bit flaky with it to start with, but I don''t know of anything else as useful as this

How do I gain weight?

I''m 19, 6''5 and I weigh 170 pounds. I''ve been trying to gain weight since I was like 16 while drinking weigh gain. I workout a lot so I''m really toned, and I eat a lot, but I still can''t get bigger. Can anyone tell what to eat or take.

Why You Must Exercise to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
The key to gaining weight is to get your diet and sleep done right first before you head to the gym or else you will get the results that you are currently achieving which is tone rather than mass. The key to this is a high calorie diet filled with carbohydrates as well as proper sleep every night.

Most people think that they are eating a lot and come to the conclusion that something else is needed to fix it. The key thing to getting a high calorie diet is to eat more times rather than eat more each meal. Take for instance a buffet. How much food can you actually force down your system in a buffet compared to 3 or even 6 hearty meals that are spread throughout the day. I was appalled when I realized that we are subconsciously able to consume more calories if we eat 6 full meals a day compared to a single buffet seating, particularly in the carbohydrate section which is the key ingredient to help you to gain weight. This includes eating a lot of potatoes, pasta, noodles, bread, biscuit and rice 6 times a day spread 2-3 hours apart for maximum carbohydrate loading and energy replenishment. Due to the high metabolism, your body needs to constantly absorb carbohydrates to use it as a source of energy or it will find it elsewhere, particularly in breaking down muscles, ceasing some unimportant bodily function as well as burning fat. If preparing 6 meals a day is either an inconvenience or a hassle, I suggest you look to drink 500ml of milk 3 times a day in between your meal and increase that amount by 100ml. Once you have seen at least a 1 pound weight gain on the scale, you are ready for step two which is sleep.

Sleep is a highly underrated activity but speak to any athlete and bodybuilder and they will tell you that is what keeps your body weight stable or even help you to gain weight properly. This is because sleep prevents you from falling sick easily, thus preventing weight loss. One more thing that good quality sleep does is to prevent a situation where you burn more calories to stay awake, thus utilizing the needed energy for weight gain rather than keeping you alert. A good quality sleep consists of 2 parts, quantity and quality. Quantity depends on individual and you find that out by sleeping and waking up all by yourself without being disturbed at all. Quality refers to REM sleep or the best form of sleep where your mind drifts off to dreams and produces a consistent rhythm of repairing and resting your body efficiently. This causes you to be more alert, energetic and healthy without the addition of caffeine, vitamin tablets or other enhancement. If you can do this properly, then you are ready for the trigger that will promise consistent gains and that is by doing the right workout.

The problem with utilizing a weight gain regime with only sleep and diet is that if you cease to do so, your body weight will plummet, causing all the efforts you put in to be in vain. The key is to cause your body to grow and exercise is the right way. However, most workouts are either used to help big people become bulky or big people to become skinny, rarely the other way around. If you are looking for a regime that will help you to gain weight, I suggest you go to http://gohforth.com for that workout regime. I chanced upon it in my time in the army and it helped me to gain weight efficiently and now is also benefiting those who join my gym to do the same goal. I hope you find the same success and I hope that I was there to help you refine it even more.

• You want to gain your weight you should eat more dairy products, fish and meat over bread. Choose more protein food like eggs, fruits and vegetables.
  •You should be eating at least 2,000 calories everyday...
  •Spreading delicious calorie-rich toppings on toast, pitas, and any other carbohydrate source is an excellent way to increase caloric intake. Some good high-calorie spreads are olive oil, cream cheese, butter, nut butters, cheese slices, and mayonnaise. Mix these with frayed meats like chicken or fish.
  •Try to drink protein shakes, juices or whole milk.
  •Wheat bread is more nutritious than white bread. Cut thick slices and spread with peanut butter, jam, honey, or cream cheese.
  •Fruit Choose thick fruit bananas, pears, apples, pineapple, dried fruit
  •Soups go for cream soups instead of broth-based soups.
  •Added oils when you''re cooking, add a generous amount of oil to your food. The healthiest oils are unrefined oils such as olive, coconut, palm, and butter.
• Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good combinations.
  
  The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.

I need to lose weight, help!!!!?

As simple as that. I used to be something a lot of you might call, "skinny bones". Now, I am getting fat, like I like my muscle fat but my tummy fat is getting overboard. I want to lose weight.

Thank you nd btw if it helps, I am a girl.

Healthy Ways To Lose Weight - The Easiest Ways To Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
I would suggest what I did... I lost 10 pounds in a month...

Breakfast: Fruit smoothie, 200 calories
Lunch: Salad, fruit, 300 calories
Snacks: Fruit, veggies, or yogurt, 200 calories
Dinner: Should be less than 700 calories. Check the special k website, they have good, low-calorie meals.

You need to make sure you are eating healthy things, no stuff that has lots of carbs, hence the fruit and veggies. (I never have granola bars, even for snacks.) I also cut a lot of meat out of my diet; I''m on my way to becoming a vegan. Make sure you get enough protein though, I usually put a protein powder in my smoothie for breakfast.

Don''t have too little calories, otherwise your body will start storing fat. (it goes into survival mode when it goes too long without enough food. Light snacking and spreading out your food is encouraged!)

What kind of exercises are you doing? You should do cardio, but also muscle building exercises to speed up your metabolism. Try an elliptical trainer, treadmill, and core-building exercises.

This is NOT a professional opinion, just personal. It worked for me, and I am now healthy.

• Looks and weight do not define who you are, focus on being healthy, and happiness will fall along with that.
• Eat lots of fruits and veggies, chicken, turkey and fish, Cut out all red meat, fried foods and sugary drinks and desserts.
  
  Drink lots of water if you think you are hungry and never eat after 7 PM.
  
  Start exercising by taking a walk every day for 10 minutes and build it up till you are walking 60 minutes a day.
  
  Go on a 1200 calorie diet, splitting it up into 300 calorie meals, eating 4 meals a day.
  
  You won''t go hungry, you will feel good from exercising and you will lose weight.
  
  That''s how I did it when I started 5 years ago and have been at my ideal weight ever since.

Rat has lost a lot of weight. What are her chances of survival?

My rat, Bandit, has lost 0.7 ounces in under 2 weeks. She was struggling with Mycoplasma, and I treated her for 2 weeks with oral Baytril, which seemed to help. At the beginning of the treatment she weighed 9.1 ounces, and by the end she weighed 9.4. I took this to be a good sign. She had also stopped wheezing and sneezing.

I took her off the Baytril, deciding to see how she went. Now, about a week and a half later, I weighed her to find she''s only 8.7 ounces! She lost 0.7 ounces in under 2 weeks!

How can this be fixed apart from putting her back on the Baytril? And what are her chances of survival? She looks miserable, and she is once again breathing heavily and wheezing.

:( One of my other rats died of Mycoplasma and I don''t want Bandit to die as well. PLEASE HELP D:

-Also I don''t have a rat vet anywhere close =(
The rat is about 1 year old to the best of my knowledge.
---She is also no longer interested in food. I tried to give her apple today, which she used to LOVE, and she wouldn''t touch it. Do you think she''ll survive this if I force-feed her medication?
Thanks for the answers guys. =( I''m sorry to say she died this afternoon.

Why Losing Weight Fast is Bad!

Recommended Answer:
It''s generally a good idea to persist with an antibiotics well past the moments symptoms recede. Sounds like you stopped too soon. If the myco symptoms are back, they are not going anywhere without more Baytril, but you will need to stick to it a lot longer this time.

As for the diet, that''s not surprising considering the fact that she is ill and being medicated. It''s harsh on her body, but all she may need is some extra care to stimulate her appetite and keep her well-fed. On top of the usual diet, start offering softer, tastier, fattier foods. Hard boiled egg, plain oatmeal, plain yogurt, etc (read up on safe vitamin-rich foods). It''s also crucial that she is getting enough fluids. Dehydration will easily kill a small animal, and if she is ill she may not be able to reach up to the bottle.

Edit: Yeah, apple and other fruits/veggies are NOT what you need to feed to a rat who has lost appetite. You need plenty of fluids and fatty foods.

• you didn''t say how old is your rat. I think they have a life expectancy of around two years. all I can say is try the net for info on rats and I hope this helps.
• well found some websites you can try ......hope it helps
• Sorry to say but when rats get sick there really is very little we can do for them. I see it all the time and especially the wheezing it sounds like she''s got pneumonia and I''m really sorry
