But I came home from my first day of school today and I was extremely tired and drained, i didnt want to excerise I just wanted to sleep or lay down for the rest of the day.Even after a few hours of relaxing at home I still felt the same. So what can I do to not feel so drained when I come home from school? Without any pills

How to Dance to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

A fruit smoothie with protein powder would be a good pick-me-up.Here's a good low-carb food/exercise plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Fruit smoothies. 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, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (it's lard + chemicals), soda (loaded with toxins), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells) and coffee (carcinogenic). No oil except olive and mac nut. To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice.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, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex.

Lose Weight in 24 Hours - 4 Easy Tips to Losing Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:
Cut down on fatty foods like cheddar cheese, hamburgers, chips, butter, peanut butter and also high sugar foods - that includes honey. Eat more wholegrains - brown bread, brown rice but not too much of it. Eat green and red vegetables to help your body dispose of waste more efficiently and boost your vitamins, Nuts are good for you but they are also high in fats so they put on the pounds. If you eat them, just restrict yourself to two or three brazil nuts a day (good for the Selenium).
Take more exercise - do something you like doing like cycling to work or school, even roller skating or help with the hovering. Take a regular brisk walk. The list is endless but you can do it fairly easily if you make just a little effort and stick to it. Always harder if you live at home and your meals are prepared for you but get your family to cooperate. They might all do it with you.

• Dieting and excersing..''drink honey with lemon or apple cider vinegar in warm water..it reduced fats and carhobydrates

Help with getting a six-pack?

Im 13, 5''7 and weigh around 125 pounds. I have a flat stomach due to running more frequently (mile every other day). I did swim in the summer which really made me lose weight, and now I have a flat stomach. The problem is that I dont have a 6 pack like all of my friends and i want to know the secret to getting one. Ive been eating mostly cooked at home meals and have eaten minimal junk food lately. I have a split down my stomach and that is the closest I have to abs. I really want to know how to get the toned abs that I really want. I don''t own any excersising equipment whatsoever, although my mom goes to the gym 2-3 days a week. I would also like to know how to really get motivated. Mainly due to the fact that I want to attract more girls, and have a better chance at making the baseball team in a month. Im so close and I know I am and I just want those abs. How do I get them? Im in the third stage of puberty if that is needed to tell what I must do. Thanks for the help!

Walking to Lose Weight - Fitness Tips For Any Season

Recommended Answer:
It seems that you have a low body fat percentage, but no muscle tone. Not to worry though, abs are a relatively easy muscle to sculpt due to the fact that six packs look good even when they''re showing just a little. What i would truly recommend is starting a complete workout regimen. Training just one part of your body will not make it grow effectively because your body doesn''t want to be disproportional. Check out bodybuilding.com, there is really some amazing stuff on there and they''ll teach you every last thing you need to know about building muscle. Also one more thing, you''re going to have a hard time gaining muscle since, just by what you''ve described, im guessing you''re a very skinny dude. You need to start eating appropriate calories for your body weight to gain lean body mass. Lean body mass includes muscle and minmal fat gains. A proper amount of calories for someone who is as active as you would be your body weight x 22 on working out days, and your body weight x 20 on normal days. This will help you gain weight in a very sufficient and healthy way. make sure you''re not eating crap though. Make sure you''re getting the right amount of macro-nutrients per day. assuming you don''t know what that means, macro nutrients are carbs proteins and fats. You''ll want about 250 carbs a day, 125-150 grams of protein a day, and around 40 grams of fat. I know its a lot of information here, but thats the only way you''re going to get it done. Also, doing it the right way, (the way i described) will get you a legitamate six pack, and not just the skinny-pack that im'' sure the other 13 year olds you know have. Itll take some time, but go on bodybuilding and start learning man. Working out and bodybuilding are motivation enough once you go to the gym once. Its an awesome feeling.

• do this everyother day : start with 50 jumping jacks,then 2 sets of 20 pushups , 10 pullups,3 sets of 10 crunches and end with a 10min light jog
• High protein very low fat low carb diet with lots of exercise will give you the abs you want. You need a minimum of 1800 calories when you are trimming down, about 2200-3000 when you are bulking up. Good luck, GW

Weightloss and tone up?

I am 6 ft tall male (18 years old) and weigh 14 stone 8lbs so I am chubby. I have lost 2 stone since October but recently have lacked motivation, probably because I have had the same regime over and over. What should I be doing exercise-wise to mix it up a bit yet still see results? I have 5 months until I go on holiday which is when I want to have the confidence to take my top off! I am surprisingly okay with the diet side of things, which originally was the biggest problem.
Thanks!

How to Burn Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
I hear you Chris, can I first suggest you:
Stop thinking weight loss and start thinking fat loss.

If your goal is to take your shirt off and look buff, then all you really need to do is remove the fat that is covering the muscles you already have.

To lose body fat you only have two options stop making it, and start burning it or surgically remove it.

You are not “chubby” because you are 6 foot tall and 14stone 8lbs or because your BMI is 26.9, it might surprise you to know Chris that when the 20 year old, 6’2” Arnold Schwarzenegger was crowned Mr. Universe his BMI was 30.2, because he weighed 235lbs. However Arnie only had about 4% body fat and a lot of muscle. So you are “chubby” because of your fat to muscle ratio.

To stop making more fat, you need to eat about 3200 calories per day if you are moderately active, this will maintain your fat level as they are now. In order to start burning the fat you already have, you need to exert yourself more ( burn more fat) or eat less (make less fat) To lose one pound of fat you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food.

At your current size Chris, that would require you to add a 7hr 40 min long 4mph walk to your existing activities to burn the 3,500 calories so you can burn 1 pound of fat. Don’t forget that as you lose fat and weigh less, the amount of energy it takes to move your lighter body around is less, so you need to walk more to burn the same amount of calories. Simple math, but very annoying, because you have to do more work to burn the same amount of calories.

I know you said you had your diet under control, but you can see that it is much easier to remove 500 cal from your daily intake, so achieving the 3500 calories less in a week, than it is to walk an additional 7 hours and 40 min at 4 mph in your week. Just a thought, I hope it makes you think!
Enough about fat, now let''s talk about muscle, because remember it’s your muscle to fat ratio we are trying to address here Chris. The little organisms in your body that convert the stored fats to energy, are called mitochondria, they are your bodies energy factories, and 98% of the trillions of mitochondria in your body are in your muscles. So more muscles more mitochondria more fat burning, again simple math.

Growing muscle is genetically programmed into all healthy humans, and it is as simple as putting that muscle under stress through intensity so the muscle fails in its bid to move or lift or push. If this failure is achieved through exertion rather than exhaustion, the body recognises its failure, releases peptides to signals an anabolic response that after a rest period of a number of days will make the muscle that failed, bigger and stronger. The technical types call this muscular hypertrophy. But I''m sure you know all this because you go to the gym, but the point I''m trying to raise here is intensity. Resistance exercise that results in muscle failure is not confined to lifting heavy weights, sprinting is a good example.

The resistance comes from trying to accelerate your 198lbs to the fastest speed possible in the shortest period of time, and you can sprint on a pushbike, in a pool or on a running track, so it is easy to get variety in this form of resistance exercise.

I could go on, but I won’t because I think I have said enough to give you the idea.

Fat lose is simple, energy in and energy out. Exercise variety is simple, if your realize that resistance exercise with high intensity can be many things which do not all involve a Gym membership.

Hope this helps the new soon to be “Buff Chris”.

Cheers

8 Top Tips to Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
I''m on the same diet right now, going on a month. I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. 15 total

• You''ll probably gain weight! When you eat too few calories your body ''thinks'' it''s starving and your metabolism slows down to nearly nothing.
• That''s terrible don''t do that. 100 pounds isn''t even close to being overweight. You need to eat properly so your body can grow. Do you want to be 5''0 forever? Please eat and don''t stunt your growth :)
• First of all, you will burn more than that a day, just by walking and existing basically.
  
  Secondly, it all depends on exactly how active you are. But I would estimate about 2 pounds a week.
  
  Thirdly, you are very small already. Don''t lose weight.

Well, you may find you are around maybe 3 pounds more , but if you go back to your healthy eating without the pizza, ice cream, chocolate and the so-called "diet" foods, and eat whole foods and watch portions while exercising regularly doing cardio for at least 30 minutes a day 5-6 days a week, you may lose those pounds rather quickly.
