Ok so I'm 13 years old, 6ft tall and weigh 269lbs. I was thinking of eating 1600 calories a day and drink about 70-90oz of water daily. Ill walk my dog at a fast pace for 1 hour a day, and most nights ill do sit-ups, push-ups,squats and etc. Using dumbbells as I get stronger. Do you think I would achieve weight loss with this? I'm trying to loss maybe 60lbs? By next February. Also I know when obese people diet they loss weight very fast at first. So how many pounds do you think I'll lose in the first month? Btw my bmi is 36.4
How to Help Your Dachshund Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
The key to fat loss is not exercise, it's diet.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. 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 Here's your BMR --> http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=15&csex=m&cheightfeet=6&cheightinch=0&cpound=269&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cactivity=1&x=0&y=0 . You should eat at about your BMR level of daily calories. You will need to recalculate your BMR as you lose fat because it changes with weight. You should avoid "crash" dieting...eating too little. What you should be doing is making a life long change in your eating habits while losing fat slowly...only a pound or two per week. If you think in the short term and watch the scale just waiting for the fat loss to show, you'll be undermining your commitment to a lifestyle change. Short term losses don't mean anything when you think about how you're going to look in 10 years or at age 40 and beyond. Fat loss is about health, living a long time, and being fit to enjoy all those years. At age 13, body image is all that's important but that alone will not keep the fat off in years to come. Just look around at all the fat adults and you'll see what I mean. Only one out of four adult American has a healthy body weight.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/• BEST FOODS FOR YOU http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html• NUTRITION DOT GOV http://www.nal.usda.gov/food-and-nutrition
