How can i get a flat stomach?

I realise quire a few people may have already asked this question as I looked at a few of the answers. However, I don't feel they would quite help me. I'm 15, 5ft4 and I'm 179lbs, I know I'm over weight so I would prefer it if I wasn't reminded thanks. I do have another problem though, one which you may not have heard of though. I don't eat veg or fruit and I think that's what's causing me to be over weigh, but the strange thing is, I'm hardly ever ill and I don't have spots or anything like that (only saying this as fruit and veg are meant to help you not be ill ect, apparantly- but obviously not in my case). It's not that I don't, It's more I can't, it makes me feel sick when I do eat it, bannanas, tomatoes, apples mainly to name a few of the worst ones. I am determined to get my weight down and have a flatter stomach- the rest of me I'm happy with. I've started to do sit ups in a morning, building the amount up every day. Oh yeah I forgot, I'm not very active and have little stamina and a low metabolism but then again i always have. I'm also in year 11 so I don't have much time in the day due to revision for exams, but I want to do this because i feel uncomfortable when I take my blazer off at school, so I just boil instead aha. I don't want a diet that's real strict and that's going to take too much messing about and my mam buys everything , but I don't really want to tell her what im doig cos ill get a massive lecture. Anyway, sorry It's so long and thanks before-hand for any answers :)I forgot to mention that I don't eat that much, and I don't snack, I have a slice of toast, usually 50/50 as my brother won't eat brown, and some juice/squash for breakfast at likehalf six as I have to get up early for school as it takes half an hour to walk to school, so effecitvly I do an hours walk every day, and for my dinner I have a sandwich, usually chicken or ham as that is all my brother eats, and a small packup size biscuit such as a kit kat and a bottle of squash. I've just found I like tea, so I'm having a cup of that when I get in from school as It's supposed to be good for you, and my tea is usually pasta, or some form of meat/fish with rice or noodles. To be fair, I feel that I eat healthy-ish considdering I can't eat veg. And my mam would be supportive btw I just don't wantto bother her with buying extra food for me as she already does that for my dad, and by 'lecturing me' I mean telling me to write down everything I do and eat

How to Lose Weight With Prune Juice

Recommended Answer:

If you are unwilling follow a strict diet then you will never get a flat stomach. It sounds like you are looking for a quick fix but let me tell you, there isn't one!!! I was overweight when I was at school, when I got to 14 I had had enough of always wearing baggy clothes so I started researching nutrition and completely changed my diet. You would be able to lose fat whilst not eating fruit and veg although it's not ideal. You just need to eat less calories than you consume. You say you don't get ill and you have good skin now, this could change as you get older. As for your mum not supporting your desire to lose weight, WELL, does she not want you to be healthy? Your BMI shows you are clinically obese, tell her this and she might support your quest for weight loss!!

Can you lose body fat by not eating very much food for a week or so?

I think its called fasting or cleansing your body or something? Today I've only had a small slim jim and a salad and its almost supper time, I drink plenty of water and don't drink pop or anything that has sugar. Will I lose fat and weight if I keep this up for a week or so?

How to Lose Weight Fast Without Buying Anything

Recommended Answer:

Actually, you lose more water weight and muscle tissue than fat when you cut calories to low (or out completely)...so there is some weight loss, but not so much fat loss...your body also tends to regain the lost weight (as fat) fairly quickly when you start eating again as it will store extra calories for future famines...

Other Answers:

• Actually, that will cause you to GAIN weight! Do not do that!
• When you start eating normally again the weight will go straight back on...it's pretty useless
• No
• I've been fasting ever since I was a little girl, naturally that is. My body just tells me when I'm tired of food and I will not eat for 2 or 3 days. Of course I have to drink Juices and water but I don't have to eat. I am really fine. I notice it is really good to balance my mental health. My digestive system and to cleanse my stomach and just my entire being. I noticed that when I used to eat meats as a main course in a meal a lot then I would want to fast more. But now that I have a fish diet on the weekdays and whatever I want to eat during the weekends, then I fast less. I love fish! lolFasting to loose fat is very much possible. I will gain about 2lbs of fat over a span of maybe 6 months and when I fast for about 2 or 3 days every 3 months (this is my bodies natural rhythm, you'll have to find your bodies natural rhythm) I will loose about 1.5lbs of that body fat. I am a petite person, so this will vary depending on what body type you have. I wouldn't suggest fasting for a week. That is a long time to go without food and it begins to make your body unbalanced. If you're new to fasting, I wouldn't encourage that. Do this: Eat fish and romaine lettuce (mixed with corn, or beans, or your favorite healthy stuff ) during the week. Then on the weekends eat controlled portions of things you like, meats. Fast once every month for 2 to 3 days. You will start to notice a difference. Drink water and Juice like Orange juice to keep you alert. You can even drink Almond Milk...they have a chocolate flavored one that I LOVE! lolI wish you well on your weight loss, just don't be extreme, because extreme measures that push you past your limits will always have a reverse effect.
• Not much. Yes you'll lose some weight, but odds are you get it one afterwards if you start eating like before when you put weight on.

How to Lose Weight Quickly for Women Over 40

Recommended Answer:

Take a good thermogenic(fat burner) diet pill about an hour before you work out to maximize your fat burning during your workout and you will lose weight much faster and easier. This explains how to do it and why it works so well http://www.weightlossfatloss.us/howto_thermogenics.asp

Other Answers:

• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

How do I grow my thick hair longer and not thicker?

I have very heavy thick hair. I want to grow about four more inches and it is taking forever. Everything I find online says "add thickness and length.: I have more than enough thickness. I just need length... anyone have this problem? I tried way to grow (not your mother's) shampoo. It did nothing for me. :/Im a graduate student and my hair stylist straightens my hair to make sure my layers are right when i get a trim. I will not try pills or anything and I have heard coconut oil serum may help. In the past year my hair has grown quite a bit so i guess I should be patient. :)My hair is also the oily type and so I have to wash it every day. I have researched this and it is not the wrong thing to do.

"Many times patients will be taking over-the-counter medications or vitamins or homeopathic remedies not realizing that it can interfere with their regular medications or may build up unhealthy levels within in their body," said Dr. Rober Kershner, who's a surgeon with a background in biochemistry.Heat & chemicals are hair's worst enemies, tampering the growth of the hair making them grow slowly or none. The hair that you see? They're dead. Wikipedia. But your hair has static electricity sending current to the roots of your hair. That's tampering!If you've straightened your hair in the past, it may grow slowly or none at all.Google: "Foods for Healthy Hair" http://www.foodforhealthyhair.com/ http://sg.news.yahoo.com/food-for-health… - or 10 Best Foods for Your Hair.http://www.channelstv.com/home/2012/07/0…NO MATTER which link you picked, they all suggest the same foods. Your hair may be the fastest-growing tissue in the body but, unlike the skin, it cannot repair itself. That is why getting the right balance of vitamins and proteins is imperative. Don't expect to look like you've stepped out of a hair commercial the day after you've changed your diet. It is likely to take at least three months before you actually see tangible results. Hair is dead, but hair also has electrical energy; the negative charge of damaged hair can lead to flyways and unruly hair. Growing healthy hair doesn't come from a bottle or pills and hair products do not speed hair growth. Any hair oil, is another form to keep hair moisturized, nothing more. If you're in HS, your hair & nails should be growing normally, and as healthily as possible, since you're eating healthy foods. But when hair isn't growing as fast, it's because they've been tampered with: chemicals, hair straightening, etc. . ."You find people oiling hair every single day, the hair sweats and it doesn't get washed.

Unfortunately, no. Hair growth is genetically predetermined and controlled by our hormones. Unless the magic pill affects our genes or hormones, there's no hope that it might make our hair grow. (This includes prenatal vitamins. Credit the upsurge in hormone levels during pregnancy for those vibrant tresses!) Basic vitamin supplements can offer slight improvements in hair quality, but only if our body truly lacks the particular vitamin or mineral being taken.Best answer comes from people with Avatars, showing their healthy shiny, soft, silky, smooth hair.

Other Answers:

• I wish I could tell you that there was a magic potion to make your hair grow longer, but in all reality, you would be wasting your money....hair grows 1/4 to 1/2" a month. It grows a little faster in the summer, and slows down in the winter...keeping your ends trimmed every 6-8 weeks can help....if you don't, the split ends will travel up your hair shaft, and break off, which does not help with the growing process..have patience honey, it will grow...:)

How to Lose Weight Eating Every 2 Hours

Recommended Answer:

Oh this is easy. Tone up your stomach. Ab workouts help alot. Sit ups to crunches. Just do it on a daily basis and do throughout the day. In a month or two that stomach will be gone

Other Answers:

• stop really stop that is a good weight any thinner and you will be way to thin
• You are right, you can't target fat loss, however if your bodyfat % is over 25%, your doctor will tell you that's also not healthy
• Maintain your weight and exercise.
• Id go for 120 but thats just meh.
• It sounds like you are at a good body weight, but sometimes your body takes a bit of time to "grow into it." Instead of trying to lose weight, do core strengthening exercises to tone your body. It makes you look fit and healthy!Best of luck :)
• You can still lose more.:)
• Try working on ur 'abs'. do ab excersizes everyday and watch what you eat (certain things are soo tempting but u have to resist!) ab exersizes wont make you chest flat ( at least im pretty sure it wont) and if you dont want to workout to loose weight, than what i would suggest isTaking smaller portions of food. Put only a bit on ur plate (at first), and eat slowly. When people are hungry they tend to eat pretty fast and dont actually chew. they kinda just chew a bit and then swallow the food lol. If you eat slower you'll get more full than if u were to just stuff food in ur mouth. And drink WATER when you eat. no pop, soda, ect. A glass of water with a meal everyday should be good. And then soon you'll be so used to taking smaller portions that you will become full after just one serving. That's what i did and its working!Good luck! xx
• Your weight is fine. You can lose 5 more easily and you will be very happy with the result.The love handles are actually something you have to have lipo'ed off - nothing else works.Your stomach will firm up if you do sit-ups although your weight will remain the same. Asfar as wanting to be 'slim' goes, you already are slim. Concentrate on staying there anddon't stress.
• Losing a bit more won't be incredibly horrible, you still aren't underweight, but do not go too far... I'm losing weight to around 8st 8lb ish, maybe 9st, depending how I look... Just don't lose too much more, it's still not too unhealthy

Will this work out schedule help me lose weight/get fit?

So I am looking to start going to the gym again. I plan to go to the gym 4 days a week and working my way up to 6.

I am at ~150 pounds and I want to lose ~25 pounds for the summer. Does my plan sound like it will wok? Thanks for any input =)

Why Losing Weight Fast is Bad!

Recommended Answer:
This regimen will never get you to a 25 pound weight loss in 3 months if all else stays the same. One of the biggest misconceptions about exercise is that it is really useful for weight loss (at least in the amount you describe). If you jog for an hour, you will burn about 300 calories, and weight lifting for another hour might burn 150 (one takes a break between sets and does not lift continuously). So, you will--at best--perhaps drop 5-8 pounds.

BUT--what happens with many people is that after they work out, they feel they EARN a treat and get a bag of chips or a cupcake or whatever, and all the work is out the window; for others, the workout makes them hungry and they eat more.

Exercise is great for your mind and your heart...and can help weight loss at the level you plan, but not give you as much as you want. Here''s what to do: NO STARCH at dinner, that is, no potatoes, rice, pasta, or corn. Meat/fish/chicken, veggie and salad. No bread (except low-carb bread). And NO SNACKING between meals...that raises insulin levels and helps build fat. And no diet drinks or sweets...just water. Good luck.
