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
