Answer 1

Darling, there is no easy way to lose weight, no matter what you will have to do some exercise. Just take your time to find out what you like, everyone likes something. The first 2 weeks of exercising for the first time is going to be tough, but after that you will be fine. Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.

Answer 2

I've been here, done that, but the only real way to lose weight is excercise and eating right, its depressing, but I've finally got an excersise routine that helps and the pounds are rolling off!

Otherwise, here are some foods that supposedly help:

1. Water. Fills you up, speeds metabolism, flushes bloaty toxins, what can I say, water is my friend. Try drinking a glass before you eat.

2. Green tea. Mood enhancing so it should help stop craving and also boosts metabolism

3. Soup. Its a kind of appetite supressant cause it fills you up fast. A study showed that women who ate chicken soup instead of chicken casserole ate 100 calories less!

4. Grapefruit. Half a grapefruit with each meal. Something to do with insulin reduction. A study found that this over 12 weeks lost people 3.6 pounds.

5. Apples and pears. Fruit eaters eat fewer calories on the whole. Think of how much an apple fills you up for not many calories.

6. Broccoli ( >_< ) An all round goody for vitamins and minerals and - low in fat. (But that doesn't make it taste any nicer knowing that)

7. Low fat yoghurt. Dairy apparently helps you lose fat (?_?)

8. Lean turkey. Give you protein and cos protein is hard to digest, you give your body the full feeling whilst making it hard to get the calories out.

9. Oatmeal. (3/4 cup per serving) Choose the rolled oats stuff, not the smushy gloop like ready brek. Stops you snacking supposedly.

10. Hot peppers (@_@) Speeds metabolism

I try and eat all these on a regular basis (apart from the broccoli) and they've all been proven on some study or another, but I still didn't lose any significant weight until I made time for excercise. To make excercise fun, I bought an eye toy and the kinetic game for it, literally makes a game out of excercising. ^_^

Answer 3

If you are looking to lose weight consistently and permanently you will find these 3 keys to success very helpful.

1. Create a "Diet for Life". A healthy diet that will give your body the nutrients it needs without a high caloric intake and also be satisfying for you to maintain for years or a lifetime. Try going to www.ediets.com for some help.

2. Just like your diet you should have a fun and interesting workout plan that you can do on an ongoing basis. Do the things that you like doing and it will be a lot easier to maintain.
www.fitnessonline.com

3. Persistance is probably the main key. Know that if you are doing 1 & 2 correctly then the results will come. Don't get frustrated if your not losing 20lbs in a week. Keep on working at it and in 3 months you will be healthy and well on your way to a perfect body.

Much Success to you!

Answer 4

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Get started today!

Answer 5

First of all you have to get rid of the self-defeating attitude. And anyone can tell you that if you are a big food lover you need to incorporate some type of exercise. There is no miracle food that will banish any unwanted pounds.

I know a couple of ladies who are not big fans of working out - though they do the minimal at least twice a week - that have lost weight on weightwatchers and are happy with their results. You may want to check them out and see if its for you. Good luck.

Answer 6

What is your age???

If young you should not hate exercise.


If you do not count walk as exercise, you will easily lose weight with following tips.

Generally you gain weight because of fats deposits, just dissolve them. How?

People go for losing weight by pills or starving.

Pills do not act effectively and for longer durations. Pills have many side effects for your health.

Starving weakens you and your defense system is also weakened. This makes you less resistant against infactions and other diseases.

The best way is to lose weight by change of diet and your physical activities.

1. Reduce or stop to take oils and fats.
2. Stop taking sugar and glucose. (Mainly tea, coffee & cold drinks.
3. Stop taking potato, rice.
4. Reduce wheat and corn as much as possible.

Take vegitables, boiled meat, fruits (even sweet).

And at the top of all:

Walk at least 40 to 60 minutes twice a day.

If you do not walk, the tips will help you but to lesser extent.

Answer 7

Krista is full of crap:
"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "
BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.
"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."
More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."
WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.
"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "
More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients.

Don't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

Answer 8

well dont eat that doesnt require effort. actually you really should try some exercise i know you dont like it, but it not only burns off those calories it acts a hunger supressant so you wont actually feel as hungry. think of a way that you will enjoy exercise, go out jogging at night where you cant be seen or get embarresed about, and listen to some jolly good music of your own choice on somehead phones, just do it a few times and you'l get addicted, you'll feel and look better you will even sleep better, its all good.

Answer 9

You have to change your eating habits for life - if you want to lose weight with no effort.

So instead of thinking of dieting - think of eat as eating healthier.

Choose lean meats and fish - lots of green veggies and 2 fruits a day. Eat small meals 5 or 6 times a day instead of 3 times a day. Drink lots of water and stay away from sugars and breads, pasta, potatoes (except maybe once a week at most)
