Lose Weight Fast - 5 Tips Made Especially For Brides

Recommended Answer:
I agree with Blake. If you stop running, you will gain faster but it all depends on what you need the mass for. Some need it for sports so cardiovascular development is also key to what they need. I suggest you keep it up but reduce the duration or do it on your off day from the gym. As for building mass, the key to get right is to eat a high calorie diet that surpass your calorie demand everyday, sleep well and do the right workout to help you gain it progressively.

Most people think that they are eating a lot and come to the conclusion that something else is needed to fix it. The key thing to getting a high calorie diet is to eat more times rather than eat more each meal. Take for instance a buffet. How much food can you actually force down your system in a buffet compared to 3 or even 6 hearty meals that are spread throughout the day. I was appalled when I realized that we are subconsciously able to consume more calories if we eat 6 full meals a day compared to a single buffet seating, particularly in the carbohydrate section which is the key ingredient to help you to gain weight. This includes eating a lot of potatoes, pasta, noodles, bread, biscuit and rice 6 times a day spread 2-3 hours apart for maximum carbohydrate loading and energy replenishment. Due to the high metabolism, your body needs to constantly absorb carbohydrates to use it as a source of energy or it will find it elsewhere, particularly in breaking down muscles, ceasing some unimportant bodily function as well as burning fat. If preparing 6 meals a day is either an inconvenience or a hassle, I suggest you look to drink 500ml of milk 3 times a day in between your meal and increase that amount by 100ml. Once you have seen at least a 1 pound weight gain on the scale, you are ready for step two which is sleep.

Sleep is a highly underrated activity but speak to any athlete and bodybuilder and they will tell you that is what keeps your body weight stable or even help you to gain weight properly. This is because sleep prevents you from falling sick easily, thus preventing weight loss. One more thing that good quality sleep does is to prevent a situation where you burn more calories to stay awake, thus utilizing the needed energy for weight gain rather than keeping you alert. A good quality sleep consists of 2 parts, quantity and quality. Quantity depends on individual and you find that out by sleeping and waking up all by yourself without being disturbed at all. Quality refers to REM sleep or the best form of sleep where your mind drifts off to dreams and produces a consistent rhythm of repairing and resting your body efficiently. This causes you to be more alert, energetic and healthy without the addition of caffeine, vitamin tablets or other enhancement. If you can do this properly, then you are ready for the trigger that will promise consistent gains and that is by doing the right workout.

The problem with utilizing a weight gain regime with only sleep and diet is that if you cease to do so, your body weight will plummet, causing all the efforts you put in to be in vain. The key is to cause your body to grow and exercise is the right way. However, most workouts are either used to help big people become bulky or big people to become skinny, rarely the other way around. If you are looking for a regime that will help you to gain weight, I suggest you go to http://gohforth.com for that workout regime. I chanced upon it in my time in the army and it helped me to gain weight efficiently and now is also benefiting those who join my gym to do the same goal. I hope you find the same success and I hope that I was there to help you refine it even more.

• In my opinion you should rarely be on the treadmill for more than 20 mins at a time. You should definitely start doing some new exercises..especially weight training and high intensity cardio.
• if you wanna bulk up quicker yes.
  
  if you wanna get lean and look "ripped" then keep running
  
  if you wanna look more"buff" or big then probably stop running or at least cut down quite a bit
  
  good luck!
• Yes you should stop running. Try walking on the treadmill as a warm up to lifting weights. Up your protein intake, don''t eliminate fats but focus on healthy fats like olive oil. Your cardio should come from your weight training. To increase muscle mass you must challenge the muscle. When lifting weights you must fatigue the muscle. When you can''t think you can possibly do 1 more rep do three more!! You will work up a sweat this way, treadmill is not necessary and will not help build muscle mass.

How To Lose Weight Fast - The Secret To Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
Firstly, cut out all the junk food, processed food, sugary foods, sugary drinks, white rice, white bread etc etc.

What you want is brown rice, brown bread, all the complex carbs. They''re healthier for you as you break them down slowly so it provides you with a constant source of energy, whereas (i.e.) white bread would give you a sugar spike which isn''t healthy.

Secondly, eat several meals a day. Don''t eat too much at one time. Eat a balanced meal, enough veggies, proteins, carbs. Try not too eat too late either. If you''re eating real late (i.e. midnight snack) be vary of what you''re eating. You also don''t want to eat out that much, never sure what they put in your food. READ NUTRITIONAL LABELS.

Thirdly is Sports/Activities. You gotta do them. Use up your energy, burn up the calories, stay healthy. I.e. go jogging. What''s best though is interval training. What I mean by that is running for 1min, jogging for 1 min, repeat several times. This''ll really get your heart pumping and''ll shed tons of fat from you. Resistance training (working out) also burns lots of calories. You should mix up your exercises.

SLEEP IS IMPORTANT. You need at least 8 hours of sleep per day.

If you''re really serious, you can count your calorie intake.

• Anorexia.
• Hi,
  The ONLY way to lose weight is to take in less calories than you use. However, you must be sensible about this. Gradual, maintained weight loss is far better than crashing it off only to pile it on again because you go back to your old eating ways as soon as you get your weight down.
  To drop 2 lbs each week is plenty - giving you 18 weeks to reach your goal.
  You really should get a thorough understanding of how to do this. There''s an excellent article and short email seties on fitnessweightwellness.com - and there''s nothing to pay.
  Good luck.
