How to Lose Weight Fast - The Healthy Way

Recommended Answer:

the sad truth is as many have said, starving hurts but it works....with a huge price to pay. the reason why many have said to you that you will gain weight after a. Fast is beacuse you binge( which i doubt you can since prolonged fasting causes bloating when food is consumed)return to your regualr eating habits and your metabolism is lowered (not that much though) causing some weight gain if you dont exericise and slowly increase your caloric intake. on the other hand, some get addicted to fasting and the feeling of hunger pains and exercisng without food eventually leading to an eating disorder. Anorexia is a mental disease with physical symptoms and consequences. Its much more complex than you think. Though the person may see the anorexic as constintently fasting or starving themselves, they still actually eat just very infeprequently and very little, usually low cal, or so called neg cal foods like celery, lettuce, cabbge and may periodically fast and starve themselves. This is the restrivetive type of anorexia. The other type of anorexia is the binge purge type. This may sound similar to bulimia, but the binge isnt really a binge calorically wise. The anorexic may consume a normal amount of food but consider it as too much and makes her fell bloated and so she may purge by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, exercising excessively or fasting or a combination of the listed. Anorexics dont usually get noticiably thin until the middle to late stages of anorexia. With the comibination of excessive low caloric intake and over exerting exercising, burning more an they eat, they lose weight. The difference is is that they do this chronically and when weight loss slows or platueaus they immediatly lower their caloric intake even more and increase their expendenture. Their bodies begin to waste itself from a lack of fuel, first using glyrecen, then the adipose tissue (white), then to the extremes lean mussle tissue including orgns which is why most anorexics die of organ failure and cardiac death.

• Anorexy is a long term disease. It comes slowly and takes months until the person doesn't eat the during a full day. It also takes months until other people can see the disease. Anorexy is a disease and not a diet, bit it often begins with a diet. Most anorexic people start being sick as teenagers. As their friends put on weight because they are growing, they stop putting on weight and sometimes they stop growing.
• Annoexica is mental disorder. They don't eat. They fear food. There world evolves around food.What people have described is called a binge. (Long periods of fasting and a one more days of exteme overrating )This might happen within a few days, but for me I find I get urges after a week. It's an intense struggle!Diet but don't descend into Anna.It's a savage cycle.
• it because anorexics dont eat for a really long time. They only eat like 300 cals a day so they shed off the weight like crazy
• No it's not healthy

How do you count calories if you want to gain weight?

So I'm like 21 and I weigh 105 pounds. I have like an athletes body but not the oversized muscle type of athlete. Just the small size athletes with some fat like lower body fat. Anyways, I been trying to gain some weight. I know there's proteins and stuff, don't offer me pills and whatnot. I just want to know how to gain weight by counting your calories. Kind off like how people LOSE weight by counting calories. I mean, how do I measure that? Do I just take my weight, average out how much calories will keep my body the same, and then double it? lol idk. I'm just trying to gain some weight. Like how much calories does the average person need to take a day. How much MORE than the average person do you need to take if you have fast metabolism and want to gain some extra pound. I work out. But not to lose weight, but to gain muscle weight. I'm a girl. I do leg workouts like squats to get thicker leg muscle and stuff. What do you think? How can I calculate or gain weight.

How to Lose Weight Even After Menopause

Recommended Answer:

I am almost 17 and i weigh between 102-105 lol and i have a fast metabolism. And average person needs 2,000 calories a day. If you eat over that i am sure you will gain weight... I have tried but it never works lol, so i just stay happy with how i am. But muscle weighs more than fat anyways. Just eat healthy and eat as much as a person should eat calories and continue working out, you are sure to gain weight. I think by adding it up tho is you count by what it says under caliries on a can or bag.. But also look at amount per serviing. If u drink a can of pop its like 150 per can. Per can you drink, thats how much calories you have had for the day. Just jeep a record of everythig you eat. And say amount per servibg is 6 chips. And its say... Idk 300 calories. You ate 12 chips. Add 300 + 300 and get 600 calories. Im sure this is how it works lol. But hope i helped and good luck!!

how to lose weight fast?

I am a 13 years old girl, I am 180 pounds, 5"6 tall. How can I lose weight REALLY fast?

Staying Motivated to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Don''t try to lose it fast as in starving yourself. It will be too much of a shock to your bod. You could have a stroke, heart attack or breakdown. 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

• You could go with like 6-8 small meals a day and daily intense cardio, but keep in mind that every fast weight loss is short-term thing. You probably won''t endure for too long as it''s basically torture for your body.
• Stop drinking coffee, juice, and soda immediately. Only drink water. Also only eat three meals a day, no snacks. If you feel like having a snack just drink a cup of water, flavored water, or unsweetened ice-tea. Make sure you eat something small in the morning like toast or a bagel with butter, a bowl of cereal, or fruit salad. Eat only one of these things not all. Then it normal sized lunch and dinners. Also try to exercise more, like if there is an option of walking somewhere or having someone drive you, always pick the walking option. Every small change makes a big difference. Remember one of the main reasons kids and adults are over weight is too much soda so stop drinking coke and everything!

  Get exotic
  
  Adding more exotic foods to meal plans can help keep foods exciting and prevent derailment as well as introduce new foods and cultures. Indian curries, asian stir-fries and Mediterranean salads tops with an abundance of fresh veggies, herbs and exciting spices can transform the diet blahs into an exciting experience.
  
  Making foods at home will insure creams and oils are kept at bay while the enjoyment of different foods is retained.
• ♥♥Don’t Eat Emotionally
  
  If you are serious about losing weight you have to force yourself to stick to your weight loss diet. Don’t use food as a way of satisfying your emotions. If you have emotional problems you should face them instead of using food as a way of masking the problem. If you can’t do it on your own, contact a psychiatrist to help you.♥♥

  Exercise Twice a Day
  If you really want to lose weight fast you have to exercise regularly, preferably two times a day. Do the more heavy sports in the morning and make a long walk in the evening. If you don’t like exercising you can make it more fun by doing a different kind of activity every day of the week. Or find someone to team up with, this will make it a lot easier to maintain a daily exercise schedule. Exercising this way for a longer time period will result in you losing weight quick. Scientific studies have also shown exercising regularly is good for health and can even extend your life span. More on exercising twice a day on our workout twice a day to lose weight page.
  Tip:Do a cardio exercise right after you wake up, before breakfast. It’s a well known fact that doing cardio before breakfast gives added benefit to your fat loss rate when exercising. This is because your body is close to starvation mode after waking up, your body is out of energy because you didn’t eat for a long time.^.^
