- I suggest doing some exercises that get the legs moving, such as walking, jogging, running, swimming or bike riding. These exercises that really get your heart pumping will burn the weight off quickly. I like push ups, yoga stretches, pull ups, crunches, curl ups, leg stretches, calf raises, and squats as far as being good toning exercises that use no equipment and cost zero money to perform. I like taking some dumbbells and doing some easy bicep curls, military presses, and lateral raises. I think diet is important also and try to eat healthy home-cooked meals with lots of vegetables in them. I try to stay away from the pop and sugar, candy, and fast food. I try to get a good night's sleep each night.
- stop eatin
- work out and eat well! Join a gym for the new year or just do alot of toning with lunges, walking stairs and running. You will notice alot of difference.
- do excercise! as many as possible! running, swimming...
- I can only tell you how I lost 30 pounds in 3 months and maybe it will work for you. I did not do any exercise. All I did was not eat until 5 pm every day for 3 months. And when I ate I only ate salad, fruits, tuna fish and chicken noodle soup. I am a salad lover so I made my salad many different ways so I did not get tired of them. Sometimes I made chicken salad or salad with a little tuna on top. Other times I made a great garden salad. Just make it how you will like it so you wont get tired of it. Try to stay away from breads and any fried foods. But if you eat what I only ate up top you should lose weight too.
- The perfect way to loose weight and monitor your progress is to use a calorie counter on a daily basis while you diet. Energy In/Energy Out Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day One Pound equals 3,500 Calories To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat 1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day. Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss. Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound. Water Intake/Less Storage Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day. Good Food My favorite things to eat: Avocado Wraps Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste. Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner. First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day. Lean Cuisines Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements. It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals. Fruits and Veggies All you want on the schedule listed below. Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own. ____ Vitamins My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake. WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food. _____ Soda/Carbonation Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need. So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts. ____ Your Body Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight. What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way. ____ Walking Buddy This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape. : By: My own experience/rivasj27
- eat breakfast and then your lunch ...after 12 or 1 p.m stop eating for the rest of the day..when you eat during the early hours of the day you burn whatever you eat but when you eat late during the day it turn to fat when you sleep....it might be difficult first but then you will get used to it.....I could never lose weight easily but this was the only thing I did and worked.
- The healthiest way is through healthy eating and exercise, Step One - Sit down and make a menu plan Some good things to keep in mind are portion sizes, calorie intake (cut your daily intake by around 20%) and your recommended daily intake of each type of food. http://diabetescontrolforlife.com/health... http://www.mypyramid.gov/ When making your Menu Plan try and incorporate 6 small meals of Breakfast, Snack, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Snack. Although this may seem like to much food if you make each portion smaller and eat about three hours apart it will stop your cravings making it easier to lose weight. Another good idea is to have a look at menu and food ideas for diabetics because everyone should really eat in a similiar way to this. A sample plan can be scene here http://www.webmd.com/solutions/sc/diabet... Step Two - Make a plan for how much excersise you will like to do When i was trying to lose weight my aim was to walk my dog at least once a day. I tried to do it twice a day but once a day was a must. I walked around 1-2kms at a moderate pace so that when i got home i was just starting to sweat. If your anything like me I hate going to the gym and being in pain so this was a great way for me. What you need to remember is that any exercise is better than no exercise so walking to the milkbar, gardening, playing with your kids. Any of this does help. Step Three - Do it Even when it gets tough and you think its not worth it remember your goals and why you wanted to do it and keep at it for your physical and emotional health Hope this helps and Good Luck
