How long should I walk/run/jog to lose 20lbs by the new year?

I walk and jog and run around my neighborhood and around the high school track. I also do some workout videos for about 20 mins to 30 mins . And I drink water but eat less . What would be the best workout schedule for running and does it matter if I'm doing it in the morning or afternoon or evening ?

How to Lose Weight with Thyroid Problems

Recommended Answer:

Exercise is vital but to lose weight, you have to change your diet and portions. You can lose 20 lbs in jut 2 months with this low-carb food/exercise plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Fruit smoothies. 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, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, gluten, pastries, desserts, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (it's lard + chemicals), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells).coffee (carcinogenic). no oil except olive and mac nut. Sodas (loaded with toxins; leads to stroke, obesity, kidney damage, high BP and inhibits bone growth in kids), anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar, it wreaks havoc on your liver, mucks up metabolism, impairs brain function, makes you more susceptible to heart disease and diabetes), To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, veggie juice, unsweetened fruit juice.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, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex. Try appetite suppressants.

How can I lose belly fat?

No pills please and I would really apreciate it if I got fast results I will do WHATEVER to lose it asap thanks everyone any advice needed :)

How Does Losing Weight Affect Health?

Recommended Answer:

rope jumping is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weightevenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight inspecific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they areyour problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will haveto work double on them. The best approach is this:1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normalweight, lower for overweight).2. Rope jump 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 astool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make surethat it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or youwill damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of yourbody back, until it's parallel with the ground. Stop for a second andmove it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week addto 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 thesecrunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results ATALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

Other Answers:

• Exercise, eat healthy, make sure you consume around 1500 calories per day.
• Its not a gear to shift and accelerate. It takes time. No shortcuts. Note down your daily intake in calories and cut it down to 1000 calories per day. It can reduce 10 to 15 pounds in a month. More than this will hit you back and you will never do it again. Self believe and change your living style and eating habits.

How to get back to my regular size?

I had the flu last night and lost a lot of weight. What is the best way to gain back to my weight but not get too chubby? I''m 107 and want to get back to 110. I''m 13.

8 Top Tips to Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
It seems that you have a slightly high metabolism and thus a single bout of flu could reduce your weight drastically. If you are looking to gain back the weight, try eating a high calorie diet, sleep well and do the right workout to ensure that if you ever fall sick again, it will not have the same effect as it did before. You should start by checking out how to increase your diet to help you to gain weight.

The key to a good plan that will help you gain weight properly is one filled with carbohydrates. This means that you will have to take more potatoes, pasta, noodles, biscuits, bread and rice. It is also advised to eat more times a day as it has been proven that you consume more if you eat more meals rather than if you stuff yourself in one sitting. The major point to take note about diet is also consistency and so many people try so hard for one day, only to give up the next. You must keep doing it for at least a month and see a progressive gain of 1pound a week to ensure that your diet is working well. One way to do so if you are not confident about preparing 6 meals a day is to go for a milk supplemented diet if you are not lactose intolerant. Simply drink 500ml of milk 3 times a day in between your meal. Increase the amount of milk you drink by 100ml every week until you can see a progressive gain of 1 pound every week you weigh yourself.

So many forget about when was the last time they slept well or sleep long enough. In a hectic world, that is one of the reasons why many people failed in making it significant gains on weight. I would suggest trying to sleep and wake up by yourself daily if possible. If not, try to do so every weekend and churn out the 8 or even 9 hours you need on your weekdays.

Lastly, the trigger to help you to grow is diet and that is one reason why so many people find it difficult to gain weight. This is because if you simply rely on a high calorie diet to gain weight, a dip in your diet or sleeping habit could set your plan back by 2-3 pounds in an instant. I would suggest trying the workout at http://gohforth.com to gain the weight steadily after you have accomplished your diet and sleep pattern.

• Just give it w few days your get back to your weight.

Eating mac & cheese every day to gain weight?

I''m almost 17 years old but I barely weight 95 pounds and im about 5''2. everyone thinks im anorexic but my metabolism is just really fast & that hurts me. I wan''t to gain weight so bad & believe me, i have tried everything. It hurts me sooo much when people jokingly "confuse" me with a broom or stick..i have cried myself to sleep so many times & im sick of it. So i have started eating mac & cheese as a 4th meal (9:30 am) along with my regular meals. Would this make a difference? How fast would i gain weight? My goal is at least 2 lbs per month (gain of course)
please help me ?

Stop Trying to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Mac & cheese probably won''t do it.

If you''re an ectomorph (very thin/skinny) or near ectomorph you will have difficulty gaining weight because of your somatype, not because of metabolism. So, if you want to change that and add some pounds there are two ways to do it. Both may work and neither may work. Your success is going to ultimately depend on your body chemistry which is inherited (genetic).

FAT
The difference between naturally fat and naturally thin people is the number of fat cells in their body. An endomorph may have as many as 250 billion adipocytes (fat cells) while the ectomorph may only have about 50 billion. There''s no way to change your total adipocytes or their distribution throughout your body. How fat or thin you are has almost nothing to do with metabolism.

You can try adding fat by eating more food. You should eat a proper diet which is about 50/20/30 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein respectively) and just consume more food. You should NOT eat junk food, increase your carbs, take supplements, consume more fat, etc. Just eat a proper, well balanced diet in increase the portions (serving sizes). If you are able to add body fat, you will have no control over where the fat goes or how it looks. In other words, the result could be "skinny fat" which is probably less appealing aesthetically than skinny. And, of course, if you don''t like the fat, you''ll just have to lose it to get back to where you were.

MUSCLE
You can try adding muscle. It is always good to try to add muscle because muscle is the best metabolic investment you can make. Here are some of the benefits of strength training.
• Stronger bones & increased mineral density (osteoporosis protection)
• Stronger body & musculature (improved protection from injury)
• More robust organic and systemic fitness (more survivable in crisis)
• Improved cardio-vascular function (better than "cardio")
• Higher basal metabolic rate (~5-50 cal/day/pound of muscle)
• Easier fat loss (more efficient lipid consumption)
• Greater calorie consumption (prolonged afterburn)
• Supports body sculpting (hypertrophy)
• Slows natural loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) over age 30

Adding muscle is a very slow and difficult process. Watch this video for more about that ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961#p/search/0/Xcuhi6RaZ24 . On average males can add no more than about a pound of muscle per month and females can add about 20% less and that is only under ideal circumstances which are rare. However, if you''re a teen, you may find adding muscle to be almost impossible because you will not have your lifetime maximum of testosterone (the muscle building hormone) until about your mid20s.

Adding muscle means very intense (and painful) training for a few hours per week and usually requires a gym or gym facilities. It also requires some understanding of how to train (exercise physiology, kinesiology, muscle anatomy, etc) which usually means some time spent with a personal trainer. Adding muscle is a difficult and long term process and, once the muscle is added, the training must continue to maintain the muscle.

Ectomorphism is an unhappy an occurrence because being very thin can effect self esteem and inhibit social interaction. However, the ectomorph will usually, in adult life, find it easier to achieve and maintain an ideal or close to ideal body weight because people naturally tend to grow fatter and/or more robust as they grow older....especially with proper diet and training. In other words, being underweight now may be paying it forward. You may reap the benefits with a nice body while your midlife peers are fighting the battle of the bulge.

Note - Do not use pills, tonics, supplements, shakes, or other products which claim they can help increase body weight without first checking with your doctor. The scammers are very much aware of the plight of the ectomorph and there are scores or companies with products and advertising all designed to capitalize on your misfortune for their profit. Don''t be a sucker.

So, they may not be ideal. But those are your two options. Fat and/or muscle.

Good luck and good health!!

♠

• Stay off the tweek, jk, try eating fast, thatll make the metabolism slower, good luck.
• what the guy said before me is true
  
  about slowing your metabolism by eating fast, but i don''t know if you would want to slow down your metabolism.
  
  you can always gain healthy weight but eating healthy stuff
  
  mac and cheese, is good mm, but not too much, it''s fatty too, u need protein, get alot of meat into your diet, not sure if your a seafood person but fish is good too
  
  steaks, try to have a steak like once a week
• Yes you are right, young people have fast metabolism.
  
  I would rather recommend that you go to a gym, than eating faster, eating fast is not healthy at all.
  
  Hit the gym, you will build muscle, eat more, gain more weight. One day even look badass ;)
• This will help if you sleep enough and do the right workout along with it. However, this extra meal in your diet is not going to help you get enough energy to last through the day as mac and cheese contains a lot of fat and little protein and carbohydrates. What you need is a diet which can help you get the additional calories in. By saying this, I''m not saying not to eat your mac and cheese, just continue with that but also apply my advice for you hopefully.
  
  Let us start by talking about what constitutes a high calorie diet. The main thing involved is to eat a lot of carbohydrates rather than increasing your fat and protein intake during your 3 meals. Increasing your carbohydrate intake will enable your body to use the energy more efficiently rather than rely on breaking down muscles and burning fat to get you the energy you need. You will get your protein and your fat from my next diet tip which is to drink 500ml of milk in between your meals. Start with 500ml first and increase it every week until you have gained a pound or two of fat. Once you are there, you can start maintaining the amount of milk you drink and focus on the other two things which is sleep and workout.
  
  Next, we will touch on the easiest thing to do of all in my opinion and that is to sleep. People who struggle to get enough sleep daily will find that they will not gain muscle mass and contrary, will lose weight. If you are looking to gain weight I highly suggest you to do this experiment first to know just how much sleep you need. Start by going to sleep by yourself without the influence of alcohol, sleeping pills or what nots to make you sleepy. Sleep through the night and wake up by yourself in the morning. If you can achieve this without any distractions or any drugs or alcohol, you just have to keep repeating the same amount of hours everyday. Simple.
  
  Lastly, so many people find it hard to gain muscle mass and weight just because they do the wrong workout or jump from one workout to another before exhaustively utilize what is planned out. If you are starting out to gain weight or muscle mass I strongly encourage you to download the program off http://gohforth.com. That program has not only worked for me for years, but is also something I teach my paid clients.

7 Tips to Help You Lose Weight Now

Recommended Answer:
This is impressive. You did not mention a diet tho. A diet is more important than anything you mentioned here. Make sure you cut down on carbs and load up on meats and vegetables. And drink LOADS of water. You will lose your 30 kgs if you keep doing this at least 3 times a week (for the abs, you can run every day) and keep up with the diet.
Q1: the pain in your abs is normal, it''s the pain you feel after a hard workout. That means muscles are building.
Q2: You will.

• Ok 1) no that is normal u have pain.it will go away after a while it usually happens when guys exercise and after a while u will get a six pack

How to lose weight fast?

ok so i wanna lose a bit of weight(im a girl) but my trouble area is my tummy any body got any thing they did from websites to diet plans to exercises?

Is It Possible To Lose Weight Fast?

Recommended Answer:
The only secret to losing weight is exercise. Yes, you must start exercising. Try this:

Go for a walk in the morning and evening everyday for 30 minutes.(If you have the time, extend it to 1 hour instead)

Start eating healthier:
No fast food
No pop/soda
No chips
Eat lots of veggies/fruits
Reduce the amount of calories you are intaking to about 1500(confront your doctor on this number)
Drink plenty of water(about 1 gallon everyday)

Do some bodyweight training aswell. This means squats, lunges etc for your legs. Upper body you should do basics such as pushups, crunches, chin ups, etc.

Building muscle will improve fat loss and help you tone up. Don''t believe that you will get muscular and big from working out, girls just can''t.

Do keep in mind that fitness is a lifestyle, so please don''t stop eating healthy/exercising once you are at your acquired "weight". Don''t look at the scale.

Anyways, hope I helped.

• Key points:
  
  Eat a higher proportion of fruit and vegetables
  Eat a lower proportion of fats/meat/sweets
  Try to stay away from fast food
  Try to exercise daily, running/jogging/swimming etc
  
  I personally lost 4 stone to achieve a healthy weight after turning vegetarian, but whatever works for you?
• Just count how many calories you eat, aim for around 1100 and do cardio 5 days a week.
• South Beach! I lost 13 pounds in two week. Just stop eating all carbs, milk and sweets:)
• higher rep weight training
  an also use cardio exercise directly after
  
  an reduce carbs, an eat more lean proteins
  an drink green tea
• What do you mean by fast?
  If you''re looking to drop 20 pounds in 2 weeks, don''t bother trying. Getting rid of tummy fat is probably the hardest to get rid of (it''s the last place that comes off). I''ve been on a fitness plan, and have lost 40 lbs in about 4 1/2 months, and I''ve still got a bit to go on my belly.
  Do abdominal workouts, cardio, basic strenght training, switch it up, and try counting calories. Don''t eat too many "bad'' carbs, and cut back on sugar.
  Here are two websites that have been extremely helpful for me:
  http://www.fitnessblender.com/
  http://caloriecount.about.com/
  I do a 1200 calorie diet, but they usually give you a bit more.

Six Simple Ways For You To Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Sorry for the generally late reply :). Okay to start off, you want to drink as much water as you can. Try for 80oz, it sound like a ton but just 1 bottle before school, 1 during, 1 at lunch,1 after school, and 1 with dinner. at first it'll feel like alot but you'll get used to it. Fat holds water, so if you dont have enough it holds on to it. If you want to loose weight by summer, you need to be determined because excercising can be annoying. Running (I was an awful runner) is amazing. If you can find a running class or a running buddy or maybe just running by yourself, you'll find yourslef loosing a lot of weight. (i know from experience) start by running 1 minute and walking 2 minutes and repeat this 7 times, 2-3 times a week. next go to run 1 walk 1, then run 2 walk 1, then run 3 walk 1, etc. If you dotn want to run look at this video (it'll help you get a flatter stomach) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMKsdwh4pws now on to eating, try to avoid junk food anything like cake and cheetos. dont eat anything but milk or water at least two hours before bed. anything you eat turns to fat. I hope i helped!!

Lose Weight As You Get Older - Ezine Articles

Recommended Answer:
No offense to Clair, but please disregard her answer. A healthy weight depends on the height, gender and frame (bone) size of the person. Since you're so tall, you naturally have to weigh more than someone whose shorter than you. Please check out the link I've put in source(s) for more information. :)

Second, forget about that number. It's all about health here. Sometimes, becoming too focused on the number you see on the scale can definitely depress you, I know this from experience. What helped me is focusing on health and trying to feel more comfortable within my body. When you focus on the discomfort and worry you feel within your own skin, you will want to change as quickly as possible. This will result in little patience and little room for mistakes, and that's no way to live! Although I want to lose weight for health, appreciating myself and my body allows me to be easy going about getting healthy, opposed to the sadness and frustration that I used to feel.

Feel free to contact me if you want more help.

I want to see results 3. My calorie intake is never a lot 4. what the hell is wrong with my body?

Best Exercise to Lose Weight For You

Recommanded Answer:
1. All of the other answers are completely stupid.
2. Chances are its all in your mind- 110lbs is very light and I cannot imagine you hold a lot of fat.
3. Your belly was designed to store fat for energy, its not unnatural to be a bit 'podgy' in that region.
4. If you still desire to loose it, there is no such thing as spot fat removal, your body burns fat at different places at different body fat percentages. The belly is the last to go. You should carry on eating the same calories and see if in a few months it has gone because it could be loose skin.

• Do a lot of crunches and you want to eat a lot of pasta to build up calories for muscle.
• Switch exercises regularly. If you do the same exercises your bony will become used to it and you'll see no changes. Try core exercises one day and cardio the other.
  
  Eat more often. This sounds crazy, but if you eat 5 times a day, 3 hours apart, all veggies and water, your metabolism will speed up and you'll lose weight quicker.
  
  Try this and you'll see changes.
• Maybe you need to tone up your excercising, like weight and rep wise. I also have trouble triming fat but if you eat right and continue excersing, over the year you will see results i'm certain.
• try core training, running, anything... but let it last at least an hour and involve your stomach muscles. You cannot really exercise away fat from one part of your body, but you can strengthen a part of your body to make it look less fat and burn fat on your body
  Seeing results may take years. If you exercise your stomach with too much weight your muscles will break. It takes years of time and hundrets of hours. It is natural.
  But if you train your stomach, it will look less loose
• Sit ups, and crunches. but omg we're the same height!!! answer my questions?

Fastest Way to Lose Weight

Here's my favorite:
1 peeled lemon
3 bunches of celery, bottoms cut off and washed
4 large cucumbers
2 large or 4 medium beet roots trimmed and quartered
3 to 4 inch piece of ginger root
Three pound bag of small apples.
Juice and pour together in a gallon jug. Add splenda sweetened cocktail mix (Cosmo is my favorite) if you don't like the taste.

About carrots. They're good, but don't play well with other juices. Juice them separately. A pound, juiced, makes a nice lunch.

Why is 35mins of cardo better than 60mins?

Does anyone know why 35mins is sufficient to burn fat more than doing more? Is it because you can only burn a certain about of fat in one session?

I used to do 35mins of running and would lose 0.5KG/ 1.11lbs 3 times a week and my weight just dropped off but when I do more than 35mins I don't lose any more than 0.5KG/ 1.11lbs. Why is that?

Many thanks in advance!

Lose Weight, No Sweat!

Recommanded Answer:
Your suspicions are correct.

Here's how it works: Your first-tier energy stores that are burned up during exercise are your fat stores (glycogen). The problem is you burn them completely up after about 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. After you burn those stores out, your body starts burning muscle instead of fat.

This is why trainers and exercise physiologists tell you not to do more than 40 minutes of cardio at a time. It's also why they tell you to lift weights first if you're going to do strength training and cardio in the same workout -- if you burn out your first-tier energy stores by doing cardio, you will have a much less effective strength training workout.

• You're working your heart harder in a faster period of time, the pulse is higher and therefore it does more good than 60 minutes
• Afterburn, and metabolism in general, basically you can only train explosive until you start burning fat(it's literally the sign you need to take it easier, and your body always listens).
  
  So exploding for 35 mins, means you can dig deeper, and train all-out, and have the effects of that last till far after your training.
  
  If you train 60 mins, you will start 'pacing yourself' after about 30 mins, which means you're not training as efficiently, or as explosively anymore. So you're far less effective.

Its not about how long you do, it is more important the type you do.

Doing cardio can actually help with muscle growth if you do it right. You do not want to be going for an hour cycle or go jogging. You want to be doing extremely high intensity cardio in bursts.

This will achieve everything long easy pace cardio will do however it can increase testosterone and hgh. As it should increase these two, it will probably out way the downsides cardio does to muscle growth.

Sprint as far as you can go ( probably only about a minute ) then walk until you are ready to go again. Keep doing it for as long as you want.

• Its very hard to lose muslce with cardio
• Cardio will not burn muscle unless you go to the extreme and run a marathon every day.
  The reason why some people lose muscle when doing heaps of cardio is because they are't compensating for the calories burned during the exercise. If you eat enough calories to compensate for the cardio, you won't lose anything.

How many carbs to lose weight?

i've been working out for 2 months and barely lost a pound. i now realise i was around 200-250 carbs a day, which is crazy!
how many carbs should i eat per day to lose weight? most websites say 50-100, but i can't go loswer than 110? :( is that okay?

Recommanded Answer:
Do will have to self experiment and find out what works for you. If its hard to go under 110 that's fine. Try 110 and see if that works for you.
Its also important to eat healthy carbs and avoid unhealthy carbs. Eat carbs in the form of fruits, tubers and veggies. Avoid sugar, grains and processed foods.
Calories also matter. You cant eat 3000+ calories a day and lose weight. Eat when your hungry and stop when your full. Listening to your body works pretty well when you do lower carb higher fat. Fat keeps you full and carbs make a lot of people hungry.

• You seem misinformed. Carbs don't make you fat. You gain fat when you're consuming more calories than you're burning. To lose fat you simply need to be at a calorie deficit. The reason why some people lose weight whilst eating low carbs is because they're removing calories from their diet.
