Answer 2

It's quite simple actually. To lose weight, you need to expend more calories than you consume.

First you need to figure out what your BMR is. BMR stands for Basal Metabolic Rate, the number of calories your body burns on its own just doing it's thing; pumping blood, circulating cells, transporting oxygen, delivering nutrients....you know, the basic heat it burns just keeping you alive.

When you have that number, that is how many calories you burn when you are doing nothing; sleeping, lying on the couch, whatever....just being inactive. So with that in mind, that is the number of calories you can consume each day without gaining or losing weight.

Now, it becomes a numbers game. Basically, add the number of calories you go over your BMR and subtract the amount you burn off in the form of exercise or activity. After doing this, determine whether or not you are under or over your BMR and that will tell you if you are losing or gaining weight.

Example: If you were to do 1/2 hour of yoga or pilates, run for 20 minutes and then do an hours worth of housework, you now will have lost approximately 450 calories. At this rate, you can lose almost a pound a week if you were to consume the same amount of calories. Now, if you can find it in you to say...cut out 500 calories from your diet each day, you will now lose another pound a week. In one month, you have now lost 10 pounds.

Like I said, it's all a numbers game!

After years of experience, there isn't a magic pill, potion or diet in the world that works better than this. They may take off some water weight making you feel slimmer or even temporarily take off the pounds quicker by starving your body, but the pounds will come back and usually with a vengence. For overall, healthy, consistent weight loss, I find this is the best way to go.

Answer 3

The short answer is to use more calories than you eat.

The longer answer has a few basic guidelines:

Eat nutrient-dense foods (no snacks, sweets, or fried food)

Move the legs every day - 20 minutes min per day. Get your heart rate up, and your metabolic rate will follow.

Train in the morning - the metabolic rate tracks your heart rate closely on the way up, but takes much longer to come back down. 30 minutes of good cardio work in the morning can keep your metabolism up into lunchtime.

See a professional (nutritionist, for example) regarding your vitamin profile. Some deficiencies are not a big deal, but deficiencies in others (for instance L-carnitine and Chromium) will completely inhibit your efforts.

Answer 4

How much do you want to lose? 1 pound of weight = 3500 calories, burned through exercise or eating less. Try little things like cutting out 100 calories a day for a month and exercising an extra half hour a day. Look up www.small steps.gov for tips.

Answer 5

Stop eating fast food. Broil or bake your meat. Stop drinking pop. Replace it with water. Eat fresh fruits and vegtables instead of that candy bar or those french fries.
Start eating oat meal or bran cereal for breakfast with some fresh fruit instead of bacon and eggs. Everytime you eat something, leave a few bites on your plate. Limit your portion sizes. It will tell you on the back of the can or box what 1 serving is. No one said you had to eat the whole thing. Stay in motion. Walk, walk, walk. Shut off the TV, and go for a walk instead. Find a buddy for encouragement to walk with you and come up with low fat foods. Share your idea's. When you are hungry, have a pear or apple. Keep your kitchen stocked with fresh fruits such as apples, pears, grapes, peaches, so you can have a healthy snack. Don't put foods in your kitchen which sabatoge your healthy eating plan. No chips, ding dongs, crunch and munch etc. Keep a container of carrots, broccoli, celery and other fresh veggies in your fridge for a snack.
Buy fat free salad dressing and start your meal off with a salad (no bacon bits, boiled eggs or oil)
Cook with fat free spray or a dash of olive oil.
Good luck. Been their and am doing all that.

Answer 6

I lost 30 lbs last year by going low carb. I have kept the weight off by maintaining a diet of about 80 grams of carbs a day. Check out the atkins site. A bonus was my blood pressure and cholesterol both went down.

Answer 7

If your metabolism is slow then try eating 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones. Do you know your blood type? If so avoid foods that negatively affect you system. There are books on-line that tell more. Walking is a great form of exercise.

Good Luck.

Answer 9

The way that worked for me was a meal replacement plan.

I drank 2 Nutritious Meal Replacemens shakes a day, ate one good meal, and took a multi-vitamin 3X a day.

I lost 30 pounds in 2 months

My friend Lucy did the same thing and she lost 42 pounds in 6 weeks.
