How to get rid of belly fat?

Hiya, so I'm 15 years old. (Sixteen next month) and for the past year I've had a belly fat problem. See the thing is, I'm quite skinny (I'm quite tall too.) although I eat a lot when I want. And the last two years I've been on holiday just eating all summer, so I was bound to get a little fat. But, when I come home, I pretty much stop eating. I never eat breakfast and I barely have lunch or dinner. So, I lost a lot of weight but the fat is still there. I used to be very active, but now I don't have the time because I'm always studying. I don't want to be anorexic, I just want a flat stomach again, because a fat one is actually making it difficult for me to do anything like sit ups or even sitting down! So, if you could help me out, that'd be really great. Thank you. x

How to Lose Weight When You Are Elderly

Recommended Answer:

I went on a water fast for about 48 hours. I am very skinny already. I did it to heal my body. Healing benefits from fasting are supposed to be substantially evident. It will not be easy and is potentially hazardous. Expect mood swings, fatigue, headache is common if your are involved in physical activity while fasting or after breaking a fast. Your body stores nutrients in your liver and fat cells since birth. So also consider your age when contemplating a fast. Your body may not be well developed to successfully handle a fast. Go with a juice fast, to start off. A natural juice extractor is the only way. Fasting also takes preparation. Practicing for fasts is common. Also a healthy diet and breaking the fast with health foods is very important. The first 24 hours is supposed to be the most difficult. After that the cravings for food subside. Your body my go into ketosis, Where nutrients from your liver are used before breaking down of fat cells, and then vital muscle tissue, such as heart tissue. Most would say consult a physician, I say proceed with caution and continue to research. It can be helpful and a somewhat enlightening experience. Also look up intermittent fasting.

• What is it?
• Physical EffectColdness, bad breath and heightened body odor, changes in elimination (constipation or diarrhea), light-headedness, changes in sleeping and dreaming patterns, aches and pains.A white-coated tongue at the beginning of a fast may be a part of the body's pattern of throwing off toxins.Also expect to go the the bathroom often (you will be drinking lots of water!)Suggested ReliefAfter the first two weeks of an extended fast, many of these symptoms subside. Continuing aches in a certain area of the body usually means elimination of fatty tissue is going on in that area, which is not harmful. However, any extensive pain should be examined immediately.YOU SHOULD STOP FASTING IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING SEVERE PAIN OR SWELLING.Physical EffectHeadaches or stomachaches may be a result of salt, sugar, or caffeine withdrawal.Suggested ReliefEliminating those items from your diet prior to fasting is the best way to avoid these pains.Physical EffectLower back pain may indicate that you are dehydratingSuggested ReliefDrink more fluidsPhysical EffectDizziness may be caused by a sudden change in position, such as rising suddenly from a chair.Suggested ReliefStop for a second or two, then recover. Move slowly. (A word of caution: these conditions may be symptoms of other problems requiring medical attention).Physical EffectMinor fasting discomfortSuggested ReliefTake one teaspoon of psyllium seed powder morning and evening. Mixed in lukewarm water, it becomes like Jell-O. This powder will hasten the elimination of toxins from your colon and help to prevent headaches and dizziness for most healthy people. Alfalfa tablets can help control bad breath and cleanse the system. Two tablets at a time can be taken several times a day.
• If you don't drink water then you will die after a few days. Any weight loss you make through water deprivation will be gained back as soon as you hydrate yourself. Don't do it. Seriously. Diet and exercise are the only way to lose weight. Eat less calories than you burn is the only solution.
• Hmm lets see, feeling crappy, constantly tired, having to pee every 10 seconds, perpetually hungry, need I say more? I'm not trying to be mean, but not eating is very unhealthy. Your not losing fat at all, your losing valuable muscle. Eat nutritious foods and exercise, fad diets don't work.
• Don't consume only water. Try water and fresh, natural foods like fruits, veggies, and nuts. Organic. The water diet is really hard and leaves you starving and having to pee every 5 seconds. I recommend water + natural foods. Good luck.
• Don't do it. It will slow down your metabolism tremendously. It is unhealthy and you will suffer the effects forever. How do I know? When I was 18, I did it for two weeks. You need to be patient and lose the weight the right way.

jogging 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. 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 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.

How much do I need to jump rope to lose weight?

I'm 14, and about 5'1 and roughly 100- 105 pounds. I know that doesn't sound like im fat or anything, but my body just looks extremely unhealthy. I have a pretty fat stomach and thighs. will jump roping 10 minutes a day help me lose some of the fat? or 15 minutes? If so, how long will it take? please dont give me the "you dont need to lose weight" bullshit. my diets not bad but I could change it. I also swim 50 minutes 3 - 4 days a week.I just recently joined a swim team so that's why i havent seen that big of a difference. thank you so much if you answer! :)

How to Lose Weight Without Relying on Exercise

Recommended Answer:

The extra swimming you do is great and will really help you tone your body and muscles. The best thing you said here is jump roping. Not only is it incredible for burning fat and losing weight but the act of jumping at your age will help you grow taller which in turn will make you look leaner.As for the diet at your age simply don't overdo anything and replace maybe 1 or 2 bad choice you have per day with a healthy thing you like. For example I love strawberries and I also love chocolate. I replace the chips with a bowl of strawberries and the bowl of chocolate ice cream or chocolate bar with a 90 cal fiber one chocolate brownie. Remember unhealthy food are only going to give you temporary happiness. You eat them then the happiness is gone. Make smart choices with your food and keep up the jump roping you'll be in the best shape of your life within 2-3 weeks trust me.

How to Lose Weight in the Feet

Recommended Answer:

Want to lose belly fat? Then you shouldn't buy into the scams of late night TV.I was watching TV late last night, and one of those workout equipment ads came on.You know the kind. They have the fitness model raving about how they managed to lose 100 pounds by just doing this simple exercise for 5 minutes a day.This one in particular spoke about belly fat, and how you could target the belly fat and basically eliminate it in 5 minutes a day for a month.Immediately, a scam alert went off in my brain.After all, it's widely accepted that spot reduction is a myth, that it is impossible to target any area of the body for weight loss.There are still a few experts who claim spot reduction is legit, but the vast majority disagrees.But then I thought about it and did a little research.Regardless of who is right, there is definitely steps you can take to limit the fat gain around the belly area, while at the same time losing fat all over.So, here are my 5 tips to keep belly fat off.1. Chill out. Recent studies have shown that stress leads to belly fat. Of course this isn't caused by the stress itself, but by the cortisol released due to the stress. A great way to reduce stress, which also happens to be my number 2 tip, is to get more sleep.2. Sleep more. Research suggests that a lack of sleep leads to weight gain, increased junk food cravings, depression, and stress. So by sleeping for a few extra hours, you get all of those benefits and lose belly fat, and keep it from returning.3. Drink more water. I've said this a few times, but drinking more water is super important for weight loss. It boosts metabolism, reduces hunger, and flushes out toxins and waste. 8 glasses a day is a good target.4. Limit or eliminate sugar. When you eat too much sugar, it gets stored as fat. Not only that, excess sugar can also lead to diabetes and other health issues.5. Exercise. Short bursts of cardio, or HIIT, do wonders for fat loss. Increased metabolism days after the exercise means you will be shedding the pounds well after your workout is over.Those are just a few tips that you can implement immediately and start to see results.

Quick way to stop feeling hungry all the time?

I''m 5''3 and 153lbs. I''m extreme active and play year round fast pitch softball, tennis, basketball, track, and volleyball. The reason I''m about 40 pounds over weight is because if my LARGE appetite. Are there any ways to get self control or a smaller appetite without pills or doctor help?

Best Diet to Lose Weight - How to Lose 20 Pounds in 10 Days

Recommended Answer:
I had a similar problem recently where I was feeling hungry all the time. I read into it to find that your body reacts to thirst by sending the message of hunger to your brain. So next time you feel hungry, fill up a glass of ice water (because your body burns calories warming the water) and drink it down and wait a few minutes. If you don''t feel hungry after your glass of water then you were merely thirsty. If you feel just as hungry, or even more hungry, after the water then you should go eat a little bit.

Also, it helps to develop a habit of nibbling. That sounds weird, but taking small bites of food will enable you to get the taste longer and it will slow your eating down and will give your stomach more time to register when it''s full before you take in too much. That was another problem I had to work out, I used to be a fast eater.

And if you just need to eat something (because changing eating habits is actually quite hard), or you need something sweet, then go for the fruit. You can never lose with fruit! haha

• drinking alot of fluids

How can I stick to my diet?

So I''m trying to loose about 20-25 lbs, and I''m starting nutrisystem. I have gone on other diets, but with little success. What is a way I can stick to my diet this time?

Help Me Lose Weight by Burning Fat in the Gym

Recommended Answer:
I am on a weight loss journey too. I take a Thermo-Lean supplement an hour before meals. I don''t eat as much. Also I drink lots of water! I was thinking of Nutrisystem . I hear its expensive.
Hope you achieve your goal

• Follow it. Think about the money you are spending to be on nutra system - and how it will be wasted if you dont follow it.
• Many people go on diets and they are able to lose weight but they are unable to keep the weight off.
  That''s because no one can can eat like that for the rest of their life. So when they get off the diet, they gain the weight back. Instead you have to lose weight without giving up your favorite foods and suffering and starving yourself.
  
  I know what you are going through. I been through the same cycle many times. It''s not only important that you eat healthy but also the timing of your meals. It''s not just about eating less and exercising more. It''s about controlling your blood sugar and insulin levels with your diet and exercise.
  When you eat your blood sugar goes up an your body responds by secreting insulin to lower your blood sugar and help the sugar go into the various cells that need it. All the excess blood sugar gets stored in the fat cells.
  When our cells need energy and there is no more sugar in our blood, then our body turns to our fat cells for energy.
  Here''s where it gets tough. Our bodies are unable to access the energy to burn the fat if we still have a high insulin level.
  ***In order to burn fat, you must make sure that your insulin levels are low. What this to see how it works and how you can have better control of your fat burning.
