How to Lose Weight Fast - The Healthy Way

Recommended Answer:

Dieting is never the answer. Just saying. Okay, now that we have that clear, I suggest that you just eat less and exercise more. In order to feel full, chew your food slowly. Or you can drink in the water after you swallow each bite. And for the mornings: eat some breakfast, then go outside and walk (if it's not extreme weather). Listen to your music. Listen to nature. You could also run. Running is much more effective. And if these don't work, then try the app calorie counter by myfitnesspal.com and keep track of what you eat. If you keep a food entry and record what you eat, you'll know the cause.

• Yes that sounds like a good workout plan and diet for you. 1500 calories is a little low but i'm sure you wont have big problems. If you start to get exhausted more and more, you might want to start eating more and i will include a website link for you to to figure out your optimal calorie intake.

You have a lot of weight to lose and it's going to take time but the good thing is that you have a long time because you're only 13! As for your skin, because you are so young i believe that your skin will not get saggy and is quite elastic at this age.... it shouldn't be a problem at all. I was a big kid as well. I was around 5'10'' and 145lbs at your age and now look at me! You can do it man! feel free to email me if you have anymore questions, my email is on my profile page.

• As a teenager, it's important to stay healthy and maintain a weight that is right for your body as you develop into an adult. A few extra pounds leads to various health conditions as you age, such as diabetes, sleep apnea and pregnancy complications, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Unfortunately, many teens turn to unrealistic diets that promise weight loss in an unhealthy way. To accomplish weight loss, you need to establish a lifestyle change, among other things.

Is running 3 miles per day enough to lose weight and become cut?

So I have about 10-20 pounds I am trying to lose. I am also trying to become toned. Is running 3 miles per day 7 days a week enough to help me lose the weight I need to. Or should I be doing some other sort of cardio related exercise?

Recommended Answer:

3 miles a day, 7 days a week is a good way to lose some weight. But, your diet is just as important. If' you're stuffing your face with pizza and fast food every day, like I am sometimes guilty of, you're going to have to work much harder. Monitor your intake vs your output. For instance, if you're taking in 3,000 calories/day but only burning 2,500 calories/day, you're not going to lose any weight. Also, getting "cut" is going to take more than running. If' you're already muscular, losing the weight will certainly highlight that. But if you're all flabby, you need some sort of resistance workout to develop those muscles. Even body weight exercises will do this for you. Pushups, situps, dips, pullups, etc. Swimming is also a great exercise for strengthening, building muscle tone and getting in cardio. If you're going to give swimming a shot, start with 100m of each of the four main strokes... Freestyle, Butterfly, Breast and Backstroke. Mix it up a little. Swim one length with kicks and then the length back using only your upper body. It'll beat the piss out of you. But it'll also show results.

Other Answers:

• I think it will do a good part. Keep up the work.
• Never base your weight lose on distance. It matters on how long you actually jog. I would rather judge it on time rather than distance. If you want to lose weight, jog about 30-40 minutes a day. This doesn't mean that you have to go "all out" in that time, instead make sure that you actually jog them. I wouldn't recommend you jog everyday, you can get shin splints and you can hurt yourself. Losing weight isn't a sprint race. Diet is also important, cutting out soda alone, will make you lose weight.
• that'll burn about 2100 calories a week. you have to burn 3500 more than you eat to lose one lb. you can't outrun your fork. so it is gonna depend on what you are eating. and for sure your core and upper body arent gonna get tones by running.
