Can U tell me how to lose 150 pounds?

Answer 1

First of all, it's important to evaluate how you got to the weight you are at. Often times when someone is very overweight, the issue is not as much about food as it is about a food addiction. A food addiction is both a physical and emotional issue to deal with. Unless the weight gain came from a pregnancy , surgery, or other medical condition, I would say you may need to evaluate how you have used food in the past and the issues underneath. If the emotional issues are not addressed, you will sabotage the process and stop yourself from achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. You need to believe that you deserve it, because that will be the source of your motivation.
Then there is the physical side! The main idea of weight loss , is using more calories than you are eating. This is because once you are finished burning the calories you ate, your body will start using the calories alreay stored (the fat stored in your body) to supply it's energy. That is how your weight is reduced.
A good way to start is to change how you look at food. Remember to only eat when you are hungry. Food is not to be used as a punishment or a reward, but instead as nourishment. And hopefully, pleasurable nourishment. However since your body is used to consuming a large amount of calories to maintain the high weight, it will tell you that you are hungry even when you have had enough calories. This brings the need for a food plan, or at least eating guidelines. Start slowly, such as a rule for what to eat for breakfast. Often times a healthy breakfast can set the mental tone for the rest of the day, along with starting your body's calorie burning early in the day. So it really is an extremely important meal both physically and mentally. Then add guidelines that limit less nutritious food (limit but not eliminate), such as sweets and soft drinks. These foods often add many calories without helping you feel full. Another important step is to look at portion control. An often overlooked aspect of this, is always be able to see how much you are eating. This means put the food on your dish, and only once. Avoid eating out of the container or having multiple servings, because you can easily consume large amounts of food without understanding how much you truthfully have consumed. Another important tip is remember that drinks have calories too. Besides diet drinks, anything but water contains calories. Often times when trying to reduce your calorie intake it can be helpful to 'spend' calories on food- which your body notices (reduces hunger)- rather than on drinks ,which you may only consume because it is a habit and your body soon forgets (does not reduce hunger). Drink as much water as you can, since this will help you feel full and also is important for your body's well-being. It is helpful to always have a glass with you, because often drinking large amounts of water at a time is not as easy as drinking small amounts throughout the day. This also prevents dehydration. Overall, remember not to starve yourself. It will only backfire. Don't ban any foods, only limit them. Mentally change how you view food, and even after a several days your body will begin to follow by changing its cravings.
The other essential element is exercise. The most important aspect of excercise is that you enjoy what you chose to do. There are so many options, because the basic goal is moving. Even if you are a beginner there are many activities that can be done. Some of these include walking (start by walking your pet or simply around the neighborhood), lifting weights (try cans or household items if barbells seem intimidating at first), and biking. The basic idea is just becoming active. Aim for 30-60 minutes on 3 to 5 days of the week (a higher frequency may cause injury , and a lower level may not provide results). Start slow and in settings you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable joining a gym, try walking outdoors or using an excercise DVD in your living room. If you are afraid of becoming bored during your workout, try listening to music, watching television, or having a friend join you. The first day is usually the hardest. It is extremely hard to break the pattern of being inactive, and start an active lifestyle. However excercise is essential to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Excercise also will reduce stress levels and increase energy levels, and make sure you find an activity you like- because it can be fun too!
Well, this was a long answer. But it's important to remember this is actually a long process also. Remember that you must take things one step at a time, in order to lose 150 pounds you must lose 5 pounds first , then 10 pounds, then 50 pounds then well - you get the idea!
But the absolute most essential part of the entire process is saying to yourself, "I can." You are in charge of the process, no one else. If you believe that you can lose 150 pounds, then you can lose 150 pounds.

Diet and exercise. Talk to your doctor. He/she can give you a diet guide and weight loss support.

This website (http://www.nutri-facts.com/calintake.php) can tell you how many calories you need to eat in a day in order to get to your weight goal. There is a link labled "Calorie Intake" on the left hand side under "calculators". I lost 80lbs about 2 years ago using it, but definitely talk to your doctor before you do anything. Because you are so overweight, you may have underlying health conditions that could be aggravated by physical activity or diet changes. Good luck!

It is not going to hapen overnight. The most effective wieght loss that I have found to work without diet pills and starving myself seems to be a diet similar to that of Jenny Craig..except I eat Lean Cuisine Meals. I eat 3 round meals a day and add a salad or veggies to the meal..and also eat snacks to help me if I am hungry. Consistency in calorie intake is a good key to it all..gets the metabolism going. So har I have lost 35 pounds without hunger or feeling deprived of anything..Anyways that works for me.

Answer 4

First and foremost, get yourself to a doctor. Have your doctor refer you to a registered dietician.
If you are really 150 pounds overweight, then exercise, but get a professional assessment first. This way, you will be given appropriate workout regimen.
And above all - drink LOTS of water. Fat leaves the body only through perspiration and urine.

good luck

Answer 5

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. Stop making some major mistakes wake up earlier and get active earlier your metabolism is sluggish and needs to be woken up this is half your problem.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - multigrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!

Get started today!

Answer 7

I like helpingout1234's answer. You need to get to the root of the problem before ANY weight loss plan will work.

And if all else fails, there is also the option of surgery if you can afford it. Check with your health insurance to see if they cover any surgery options.

Weight loss surgery is only stomach surgery and not head surgery. You can even gain weight if you have surgery for weight loss if you do not follow the rules that go with it.
