Quick Weight Lose

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   How can I effectivley lose quick weight for an occation three weeks away?
   I really want to lose some quick weight for my birthday which is about three weeks away. I’m staying away from carbs, eating fruits and veggies and Boca Burgers, drinking diet pop and a lot of water and going on the treadmill for about 20 minutes a day. Is there anything else I could do and how much weight could I lose by February 8th if I do this?

   • ANSWER:
     Ten pounds, tops.

     Go here (calorie calc): http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm
     Figure out how many calories you need to stay where you are right now, then cut 500-1000 from that. That's all you can have every day. Space this out between 4-6 meals, eating every 3-4 hours. You can cheat one meal a week, but only one meal and be sure to really cheat when you do or you'll try to make up for it with other meals. Make a calorie sheet and write down everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, you eat or drink that has calories. Basically, everything except water. Make sure it adds up to whatever number you got earlier. Be sure to recalculate every few weeks as you lose weight.

     Start running, swimming, biking, etc. Whatever you pick, do it 3-6x a week. Work up to 30+ minutes straight and don't wuss out on the intensity.

     If you can go to a gym, start a good weight training program as well. Every kilo of muscle you gain will burn another ~75 Calories a day, which really adds up. I'm not typing out an entire weight training program, as I can make a good 0-500 off that.

   • ANSWER:
     Cardio. =

     Many people don't realize just how important a well timed cardiovascular program is when it comes to eliminating body fat. Whether it's early morning, late evening, the most important thing is that you just do it. Continuous cardiovascular exercise, such as running, walking, jogging, stair-climbing, or cycling, sustained for at least 30 minutes, will burn body fat no matter when you do it. However for the maximum benefits of fat loss you MUST ensure that you are performing your cardiovascular training first thing in the morning. You should consider getting up early and doing cardio before you eat your first meal - even if you're not a "morning person." Early morning aerobic exercise on an empty stomach has three major advantages over exercising later in the day.

     Early in the morning before you eat, your levels of muscle and liver glycogen (stored carbohydrates) are low. If you eat dinner at 7 p.m. and you eat breakfast at 7 a.m., that's 12 hours without food. During this 12-hour overnight fast, your levels of glycogen slowly decline to provide glucose for various bodily functions that go on even while you sleep. As a result, you wake up in the morning with depleted glycogen and lower blood sugar - the optimum environment for burning fat instead of carbohydrate. How much more fat you'll burn is uncertain, but some studies have suggested that up to 300% more fat is burned when cardio is done in a fasted, glycogen-depleted state.

     So how exactly does this work? It's quite simple, really. Carbohydrate (glycogen) is your body's primary and preferred energy source. When your primary fuel source is in short supply, this forces your body to tap into its secondary or reserve energy source; body fat. If you do cardio immediately after eating a meal, you'll still burn fat, but you'll burn less of it because you'll be burning off the carbohydrates you ate first. You always burn a combination of fat and carbohydrate for fuel, but depending on when you exercise, you can burn a greater proportion of fat relative to carbohydrate. If doing cardio first thing in the morning is not an option for you, then the second best time to do it would be immediately after weight training. Lifting weights is anaerobic (carbohydrate-burning) by nature, and therefore depletes muscle glycogen. That's why a post lifting cardio session has a similar effect as morning cardio on an empty stomach. The second benefit you'll get from early morning cardio sessions is what I call the "after burn" effect. When you do a cardio session in the morning, you not only burn fat during the session, but you also continue to burn fat at an accelerated rate after the workout. Why? Because an intense session of cardiovascular exercise can keep your metabolism elevated for hours after the session is over. If you do cardio at night, you will still burn fat during the session, so you definitely benefit from it. However, night time cardio fails to take advantage of the "after burn" effect because your metabolism drops like a ton of bricks as soon as you go to sleep. While you sleep, your metabolic rate is slower than any other time of the day.

     You might find it hard to wake up early in the morning and get motivated to workout. But think back for a moment to a time in your life when you tackled a difficult task and you finished it. Didn't you feel great afterwards? Completing any task, especially a physically challenging one, gives you a "buzz." When the task is exercise, the buzz is physiological and psychological. Physiologically, exercise releases endorphins in your body. Endorphins are opiate-like hormones hundreds of times more powerful than the strongest morphine. Endorphins create a natural "high" that makes you feel positively euphoric! Endorphins reduce stress, improve your mood, increase circulation and relieve pain. The "high" is partly psychological too.

   • ANSWER:
     I have been receiving a lot of e-mail lately about diet. In the past, I was never concerned about what I ate. I just went to the gym, trained hard, and that was the extent of my routine. Not until recently did I realize the power diet has over the way your body looks and performs. I believe that diet is at least 75% of the fitness equation. In this article, I'm going to describe in detail what I have learned about diet during my 12-week transition period.
     When to Eat and How Often
     This might sound strange, but you have to eat more often to lose fat and gain muscle. During my transition period, I never ate less than 6 meals a day.
     •Try to eat every 2 to 3 hours.
     •Do not eat complex carbohydrates after 6:00 p.m. or four to five hours before going to bed.
     •Try to eat one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass on lifting days and .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass on non-lifting days.
     •Never eat more than 70 grams of protein in one meal.
     Carbohydrates
     When I think of carbohydrates, I think of energy. Carbohydrates supply our bodies with the energy it needs to make it through a workout. Without an adequate supply of carbohydrates, the body goes into carbohydrate deprivation. This is called a state of ketosis (meaning our body is using protein as energy). This is not a good state to be in for long because it will rob the body of muscle tissue in an effort to create energy. On the other hand, if too many carbohydrates are consumed, they convert into stored fat. The idea is to consume just enough carbohydrates to make it through our workouts with sufficient energy. I have broken down carbohydrates into these three categories:
     •Simple carbs: These are sugars, or quick energy. They are absorbed very quickly into the body. Ex. Anything with sugar, also fruit
     •Complex carbs: This is where you get long-term energy for the day. These are long chained carbohydrates that brake down slower, giving us energy over a prolonged period of time. Ex. Oatmeal, potatoes, pasta, rice, breads
     •Fibrous carbs: These are things like vegetables. I think of them as roughage in order to stay regular. Make sure you include them in you later meals when you can't eat complex carbs. They are also a good source of vitamins. Ex. Leafy vegetables like lettuce.
     Protein
     Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Without a sufficient amount of protein in our diet, our muscles will not have the raw materials that they need to build up, or even hang on to what is already there.
     Net protein utilization: Not all protein is created equal. Different foods are absorbed more than others. For example, egg white protein is absorbed at 88%. That means we get about 9 eggs to our muscles. On the other hand, chicken breast are absorbed at 68%, meaning we get about 7 breasts to our muscles. It is imported to eat a wide verity of protein foods though; no one protein source has all the amino acids we need.
     •Whey protein (100%): the best source of whey protein is from protein supplements. It is also absorbed very fast by the body, so it is best to take this when your body needs amino acids quickly: like right after a workout or when you first get up in the morning.
     •Egg whites (88%)
     •Fish (78%)
     •Chicken breast (78%)
     •Soy protein: My one bit of advice would be to try and stay away from soy protein. It is not absorbed very well by the body.
     Fats
     We normally think of fats as being bad. The fact is certain fats are essential to building muscle and carrying out various functions of the body. There are 2 fat types we need to be concerned about:
     •Saturated fats: these are the bad fats. Avoid these fats as much as possible. You will find these types of fats mostly in meats
     •Unsaturated fats: these are the good fats. They are a good energy source and help us build muscle. You can find from plant oils. Peanuts are also a good source.
     Water
     Do not under estimate the importance of water! If you are looking to get lean, water will be your best friend. Drink as much as you can and as often as you can. Also, it is very important to drink lots of water when you're eating large amounts of protein to clean urea from the system.
     Vitamins & minerals
     As resistance training athletes, we have a greater need for vitamins & minerals. When we workout and bring blood to our muscles it is important that our blood is full of those essential vitamins & minerals if we want to grow.
     Supplements
     Supplements are just that, meaning they are used to supplement your diet, not replace it. Don't ever think of it that way.
     Hierarchy of supplements:
     I developed this hierarchy of supplements based on what I thought were the most important and also by price.
     •1. Proper diet: Without proper diet you are just wasting money on supplements. Start here! Do not think that supplements are going to do it for you alone.
     •2. Multi-vitamin & mineral: It is very important to have all your vitamins & minerals when resistance training. Most of us are lacking in some areas, make it a priority to make this your first supplement.
     •3. Protein powder: It is usually very hard to get all the protein you need from real foods. Powders make it much easier. Also, these powders are absorbed fast by the body making them ideal after workouts or before and after sleep.
     •4. Creatine: This is great for harder workouts. It also makes you muscles hang on to water, giving them a better environment to grow.
     •5. L-glutamine: This is an important amino acid in muscle recovery
     •6. Branch chained amino acid: These are great before and after workouts along with L-glutamine because it gives your muscles all the amino acids it needs to repair and grow.
     •7. ZMA: This helps you release more growth hormone while you sleep, increasing your size and strength.
     •8. Thermogenic: These really help in the fat loss process. They also help you hang on to more muscle while dieting due to the fact you can eat more.
     •9. Meal replacement: Although very expensive, meal replacements make it much more convenient to get some of your meals in. Also, you can get in more meals than if you were to eat only real foods.
     "The golden hour"
     Remember "The golden hour" because it will make things so much easier for you. "The golden hour" is a window of opportunity we have to get everything we have depleted in our body back in a short amount of time. Think of your muscles as a gas tank: When you workout, you use gas for energy or in this case glucose. After a workout, our muscles are in a unique state. They are able to fill back up very quickly leaving you full for the next workout. If you wait to long, your muscles don't fill back up as easily and the carbs you eat are more likely to be stored as fat. Doing this will also let you take advantage of insulin's muscle building effects from the simple carbs you have ingested. You want to ingest 50-75 grams of simple carbs right after a workout. Also, this is when you want to take your protein shake because it will absorb quickly and supply your muscles with the amino acids that they need.
     Insulin
     This is a very complicated subject, but all we need to know is that insulin can help us build muscle or can make us fat depending on the timing. Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to elevated blood sugar levels. We can achieve a high blood sugar level by ingesting simple carbs. Like "the golden hour" we have a window of opportunity to take advantage of the muscle building effects of the insulin without getting fat. We have about 4 or 5 hours after we workout to take advantage of insulin. If we take in too many simple carbs out of this window, we are very likely to store fat.
     Cheat day
     The theory behind the cheat days is you take one day every 2 weeks to eat anything you want and actually get leaner. It might sound crazy, but it worked for me. When you eat low carbs for a time for body begins to think it is not getting all the food it needs (because your not storing any fat) and begins to slow down your metabolism. When you bombard your body with food on that one day, it tricks your body into thinking it has all it needs and speeds your metabolism back up. I can tell you from experience, every day after a cheat day I felt leaner and looked better.
     Ketosis
     This is when your body uses protein for energy. This happens when we have too few carbs in the body or when we over train. I went into the state of ketosis for only the last week of my 12-week transition for a couple of reasons: (1) I wanted all of my muscles to shrink down so when I carbed back up, my skin would be tighter. (2) When you go into ketosis it seems to bring the water out from under the skin. Don't go into this state to loose fat. Without carbs your body can not burn fat effectively. You will loose weight rather quickly, but only because you don't have as much glycogen in the muscle. Also, you are simply loosing water. Remember that proteins are the building blocks for muscle and that means they are fair game for energy when in the state of ketosis. I would not recommend going into this state unless you are trying to get into a super ripped state for a short amount of time, like for a bodybuilding contest.

14. QUESTION:
    I need to know how to lose weight quick b4 summer?
    I am 5'10 and I weigh 214 lbs. I gained 14 pounds since september and i really want to look hot in my two peice during spring/summer. What are quick ways to lose weight? and how much will i weight by june if i follow those steps.

    • ANSWER:
      there are not quick and easy ways, but you have plenty of time before end of april and may, and I think you can definitely get the bikini body you want by then. you can probably lose 40-50 lbs

      To lose fat you need to eat lean meats (chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef) , eggs, low gi fruits (apples, bananas, pineapple, oranges), green veggies (broccoli, celery, green lettuce, spinach), only whole wheat breads (look on the package and see if the first ingredient is whole wheat flour, if it is it should be good unless it has high fructose corn syrup like Mrs Bairds does). Jillian Michaels from biggest loser has a great quote, "before you eat your food ask yourself, does it have a momma or did it come from the ground? If not don't eat it." Eat 5 - 6 small meals a day, this will increase your metabolism and help you to not feel so hungry in between meals. It’s all about portion and calorie control regardless of what food you are eating, but remember cleaning up your diet and eating X amount of calories of lean good healthy foods instead of X amount of calories of candy bars (I know you are probably not eating 4 candy bars a day but its just an example) will help you lose it faster. The leaner you are eating the faster you will lose it, and you will get a toned healthy look instead of a skinny jiggly look. You also need to drink at least 8 glasses (8oz) of water a day. Sometimes hunger is mistaken for thirst so if you are hungry drink 8 oz of water and wait 30 minutes, if you are still hungry then eat a light healthy snack. Water also helps you feel fuller longer and helps flush out toxins that may prevent fat loss. Also allow your self a cheat day (but don’t go over board and eat everything in sight or like 5 cakes in that day). Allowing yourself a cheat day once a week will help cut out cravings… Think of it like a reward if you did well with your diet and exercise that week have a piece of pie… If not just stick with you healthy food. You can find recipes for decent tasting healthy foods on sights like bodyforlife.com and bodybuilding.com and also on recipe sights like allrecipes.com, foodfit.com, cookinglight.com and foodnetwork.com

      You need to do a good mix of both cardio and strength training. Toning and building muscle strength will help you lose fat quicker as you will be burning calories all day to feed your muscle tone instead of just while you doing cardio activity and it increases metabolism. Running, walking, rollerblading, swimming are good cardio work outs. You can also get some at home videos. I personally like Gilad's Kick boxing, Cathe Friedrich, ten minute solutions videos (ten minute solutions are good because they have 5 ten minute segments and you can do one or all five or three or what ever you want to do at the time and they have a variety, like dance, pilates, yoga, etc.). Also if you get cable/satellite, find the Fittv channel and scroll through the guide and see if anything sounds interesting and do it or record it if it doesn't fit into your schedule at the time the program comes on. Get your self some 5 pound dumbbells or a gym member ship and do bicep curls, push ups, sit ups, squats, dead lifts, lunges, tricep over head extensions, chest presses, shoulder presses, etc. You can do most of this on your own if you just go and buy some free weights, but a gym membership is helpful as well. If you do end up getting a gym membership I would consult a personal trainer (most memberships come with a free session) they can show you what to do and come up with a meal plan for you... You can find the videos I mentioned on the web at collagevideo.com, or at ross (cheap cheap at ross) or walmart or any other place that sells dvds.

      Lastly, don't get discouraged, it takes time (it didn't didn't get there over night, its not coming off over night)... you should be losing 2 pounds of fat a week safely, more is not typically safe. but you could gain weight especially if you are gaining muscle. So if you get on the scale and it says you've gain two pounds don't freak out... just look in the mirror and go by how your clothes look and feel on you. Hope this helps! email me if you have any other questions!

      *DISCLAIMER* one thing doesn't work for everyone, some people need different things. So if it doesn't work change your diet or make you work outs more intense... This is just a generic answer of how you should change your lifestyle to be healthy. Yes you will see it in multiple answers because who in their right mind would want to right all this info out and change it up a bit every time (it doesn't really need to be changed) It's a sample of what works for many people. This is not spam, I am not trying to sell you anything, yes there are websites listed on here but that is simply because I can't post every healthy recipe or work out regime in the world. I am always open for questions, just email me if you have any and I'll do my best to answer you.

15. QUESTION:
    How can I lose weight quick?
    I know it is not ideal, but I need to lose some weight quick, I have two weeks to fit into a dress that only zips to my bra line. It is close to zipping but no there. This dress was too big a couple of months ago and to prepare for this event I have been running and eating well, so I am not sure what happened. Is there any quick, probably not perminate weight loss tips or any minimizing strapless bras that work?

16. QUESTION:
    What hormone or blood value (triglyceride, HDL, LDL, etc.) should be low or high to lose quick weight?
    I'm working out intense, and trying to eat healthy. However my weight loss is very small and minimal. With the things I'm doing, it should def. be faster. I'm really pushing myself to the limits. I'm suspecting a thyroid problem. I heard if there is something wrong with thyroid you can't lose weight.

    What other, or is there hormone or blood entity that should be high or low in order to quickly lose weight?

    • ANSWER:
      You may be building muscle which is a good thing. Don't worry abut the scale. Look in the mirror instead.

17. QUESTION:
    How can you lose weight quick using laxatives?
    I know, I know...it sounds unsafe and who really wants to endure the cramps and frequent trips to the restroom. But I need to lose atleast 5-10 pounds in a week or so. I have started by drinking plenty of water and I have ate smaller portions at meal time, but I need quicker results.

    Excercise and healthier eating habits are obviously the best way to accomplish weight loss, but I don't have much time. Plus, excercise is time consuming and very boring. For a long-term and healthier lifestyle I will begin to follow those two simple rules but I need to drop this excess weight now!

    And in case you are wondering I am going to a last-minute family reunion and I would hate to show my family that I have packed on few extra pounds! HELP! Which laxatives will work and how many or often do I take them?

    • ANSWER:
      PLEASE, don't go the laxative route! First of all, you won't loose any weight, you'll lose a few water lbs, but gain them back before the reunion. I'm no expert on dieting, but I've struggled with weight my whole life and i've found there's only one safe way to lose 10 or more lbs in a week (years of trying different diets, fasting and excersing makes me a SELF proclaimed expert I had to go to a wedding and had to lose 15 or more to fit in my dress and only had a week. Lost it easy. It's a really hard diet to stick to (even for only a week), but it will work. PLEASE - THIS IS GIVEN ONLY WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT, IN GOOD HEALTH AND UNDERSTAND THE IMPLICATIONS OF ANY DIET WHICH DEPRIVES THE BODY OF ANY TYPE OF NUTRITION! It would be irresponsible for me to suggest this without saying that, however, I've asked several doctors, and they both said that they see no reason in the world why this should be unhealthful, and suggest "If it works for you, go ahead!". In Northern California there is a diet that the mental health hospital uses to de-toxify some patients and the combination of these foods take more calories to burn that it gives the body. So you'll lose more weight than fasting. I'm not kidding either. Along with each day (below), make ahead of time a batch of this disgusting soup: (1 whole onion, 1 whole cabbage, 6 medium tomatoes, 1 package of lipton onion soup mix. Boil until veggies are soft. The more you eat of the above soup, the more weight you'll lose, and the better you'll feel at the end. I have a sheet which lists each day, discusses the soup in detail, the nutrition, etc.....and exactly WHY it works, etc...., but don't have the room here to write it...so if you like, just trust this:
      First day: East as much watermelon as you can stuff into your mouth. The more you eat, the more you lose. This first day, mostly gets rid of water. Eat the soup!
      Second day: Your body is already super hungry after yesterday, but you will probably be 3lbs lighter by tomorrow morning - so keep it up! The rest of the diet will work by the end, so don't get discouraged if you're on day 5 and only lost 4 or 5 lbs. It does catch up! Eat as much green leafy vegetables as possible. Again, as much as you can stuff. Eat the soup at every hunger pain.
      Third Day: Eat a combination of the above two days. You must STUFF though...as much as you can (without making yourself sick of course) - SOUP, SOUP, SOUP!!!
      Fourth Day: Weird, I know, but eat 6 oz. of lean beef and all the green veggies that you want (not stuff yourself), but until your quite full (but only 6 oz of the beef - any kind). Don't forget your soup - stuff, stuff, stuff.
      Fifth Day: If your still on the diet, you've gone farther than most people will. This diet makes you super hungry, because your body thinks it's not only NOT eating, but even worse....since the foods eaten burn faster than they do when even fasting, it feels even more starved. (this will not hurt you if done once in a while, in fact, I was told by two Doctors, that it's good for you). Eat 6 more oz of beef and 6 small tomatoes. And of course, as much of the soup as you can manage.
      6th day: 4 large bananas and 16 oz of milk - and stuff the soup down!
      7th day: Congrats! You should be at minimum of 10lbs lighter now. And you have enough energy to run a marathon, don't you? Hard, wasn't it? Ease back into eating and you won't gain much back, maybe a lb or two, if you watch it. Eat heartily of all the green veggies you want and have 1 cup of brown rice. Ease back on the soup (you're probably sick of it anywayz)
      Good luck to you!

21. QUESTION:
    How do i lose weight quick?
    I'm young and i'm looking for a quick way to lose weight. I want to lose around 5kg as soon as possible. I walk about an hour on my walker and its not making a difference. I've cut back on my eatting and yet i'm still weighing the same. My friends are all skinny and I want to fit in more. Please help?!

    • ANSWER:
      1. exercise for 30 minutes every day.
      try jogging or running on the tredmill or join a sport like baseball or soccer.

      2. stop eating/drinking anything with refined sugars or that is processed.
      sugers turn into fat. Sugars actually turn into fat quicker than other foods

      3. drink 64 oz. of water every day (this might be hard, but that is the amount u should aim to get every day)
      When a person is thirsty, the brain sends messages to your throat and stomach. Even though the throat might be trying to tell you that u r thirsty, the signals in the stomach are more noticeable. The stomach makes you feel hungry when you are actually thirsty sometimes. So, when u r hungry, u might be thirsty, so try drinking water first

      4. watch your calories
      aim to only eat about 2500 calories a day. One pound of fat is made up of 3500 calories. If you eat less than 2500 calories a day and only eat about 2000 calories a day. If you do this, you will lose about a pound a week

      To be more specific, you can...

      1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs

      more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of

      coffee to get the blood going also.

      2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don't have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already

      you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning

      hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

      3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies,

      candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

      4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why

      it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.

23. QUESTION:
    What is a quick way to lose weight?
    I need to lose about sixty pounds as quickly as possible. I jog everyday, but i need to lose the weight quicker. I've been eating healthy food so please don't give me diet ideas. I need exercising ideas. Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      There is no quick way to quickly lose 60 pounds and keep it off long term. It is best to slowly and steadily lose weight.

      Also, losing weight quickly causes metabolism to slow down and the body thinks it starving. Did you ever see how little the biggest loser contestants have to eat to maintain their usually high normal weight after the show is over?? It is generally between 1200-1500 calories a day with at least 1-2 hours a day of exercise. You don't want to live a life like that, just do it slow and steadily.

      One thing you can do exercise wise to lose weight is to do intervals while jogging. Alternate spurts of a few minutes of faster jogging/running with your normal routine.

    i dont wanna take any pills im only 13 . So something natural pleaseee

    • ANSWER:
      Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we've known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

      Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

      Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

      Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

      In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

      Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

      Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

      Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

      Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

      Vary your routines. Don't eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn't adjust to any one routine.

      An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

      Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

    • ANSWER:

      theres a pic... heres wut u do
      The plank exercise ranked number 10 in the ACE study and is a great way to build endurance in both the abs and back, as well as stabilizer muscles. To do it right:
      1. Lie face down on mat resting on the forearms, palms flat on the floor.
      2. Push off the floor, raising up onto toes and resting on the elbows.
      3. Keep your back flat, in a straight line from head to heels.
      4. Tilt your pelvis and contract your abdominals to prevent your rear end from sticking up in the air.
      5. Hold for 20 to 60 seconds, lower and repeat for 3-5 reps.

    i am desperate to lose weight as just lately, i seem to have piled on weight, i am going to cut out coffee and sweet stuff but was wondering if i just ate eggs, fish and veg would i lose weight quick?

    • ANSWER:
      sur eyou can, just make sure you don't fry anything or use oils. oil is worse than sweets. I would suggest adding a little fruit to the plan. Also, eat every three hours. 2oz protein and alternate either 1/2 cup fruit or 1-2 cups veggies. at supper time add some carb, like potatoes or rice. no pasta, corn, or carrots. pasta is too concentrated, corn and carrots have too much sugar.

47. QUESTION:
    What is the best way to lose weight quick and keep it off?
    OK, so I always tend to start a diet, and then after a week or so, mess it up, I guess because I'm so hungry.
    I want to lose about 10 pounds.....and as quick as possible, but healthy.
    Any suggestions?

    • ANSWER:
      It's not healthy to lose weight in a short period of time. You must take it slowly if you want the weight to stay off.

      The best way to lose weight and to keep it off is to lose weight slowly...don't look at it as a diet, look at it as a lifestyle change. Cut out junk/fast food, drink more water, and do at least 45-60 minutes of exercising (preferably cardio) every day...

    • ANSWER:
      Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

      When we lose weight, there is no way to specifically burn fat from one part of the body. Doing situps won't burn the fat that is covering your abs and doing tricep extensions won't get rid of the fat that is covering your triceps. The only thing you can do is lose weight all around and eventually the problem area will also improve.

49. QUESTION:
    Any way I can lose weight quick and easy without dieting?
    I want to lose weight without dieting. I can eat healthy, but I won't have a salad for every meal. I used to be skinny because I used to play soccer alot, but its over. I start tennis later in the month, but I'm not sure if that will help my figure. Is there a faster way to lose weight without dieting?

    • ANSWER:
      Good for you on eating healthy. What I find to help shed pounds is dancing. It sounds kind of weird, but if you have some dancing games for the wii, (just dance perhaps?) it will help you burn off fat. It's a good cardio exercise.

      Another thing to help lose weight are the programs Hip Hop Abs, and P90X. You'll lose weight, and gain muscle looker leaner while you do it.

      Have fun!
