How to Use Couch-to-5K to Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
There is no healthy way to drop 20 pounds that quickly. The more excess fat you have on your body, the quicker you can drop weight. However the only way to lose weight successfully and keep it off is through diet and exercise.You need to start weight training. It will not bulk you up, especially if you have no history of lifting, and most people lack the genetics to look like a body builder anyway. But lifting weights will help build and strengthen muscle, which will increase your metabolism.To burn fat, you also need to get on a cardio regimen. Jogging, the elliptical machine, biking - aim for 5x a week for 30 minutes to help lose weight quickly.You also need to cut calories - aim for eating 1500 a day if you need to drop weight quickly. However, when doing this it is absolutley CRUCIAL that your 1500 are pure nutrition. Cut out refined sugar, high-fat foods, and avoid processed foods because they are full of sugar and sodium.Sodium will make you retain water and leave you bloated, cutting out sodium will help you lose that retained water and lose weight. (You still need some sodium because it is an important electrolyte). Instead, focus on lean proten (chicken, turkey breast) that is baked or grilled (nothing fried - it's added fat and less nutrition!). Vegetables and fruits are a must - raw is best, they lose nutritional value the more you cook them.Look for whole grains, with fiber and low sugar content.When in doubt, look for food items with less than 2g of "SUGAR" per serving, avoid foods with high fructose corn syrup or anything like that in the ingredients list -- you're best off shopping the outside of the grocery store (produce, meat counter, bakery for WHOLE GRAIN BREAD) and avoid the isles filled with processed, unhealthy food.Other Answers:

- For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise. Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm The natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.
