Need some advise?

Question

Ok so I'm 24, 5'6", and weigh 190lbs. I've been up and down with my weight since pubity but I really want to lose the weight and fast. At the end of last summer I weighed 180lbs. but I was also walking everywhere instead of driving but I've become one of those lazy people. I also recently got laid off from work and I pretty much do nothing at home. My question is does anyone know a really good exercise and diet routine to help end this lazy way???

Answer 1

Yeah 1st congrats admittin u got the problem step 1, 2nd you need to try to glycemic index diet, this diet teaches you to eat the correct carbs and non carbs, then start walking/running weight lifting etc. as long as you reach a 45 min goal, in the 1st 30 mins you reach what is called the fat calorie threshold, anything after that you burning straight fat from ur body..get a wour out partner also, that helps get ur motivated and stay there too....one day do upper body,like chest arms, 2nd day do legs,lower back, 3rd day mid-sec abs, upper back, 4th satrt again with day one 5th day light cardio or what ever works best 4 u...give it s shot, once ur on the GI diet, weight will start coming off and in 12-16 weeks you can see remarkable difference

Take up a sport like tennis, raquetball, soccer or something equally active. Excersizing is sooooo much easier to do on a regular basis if you're having fun while doing it!

And I totally agree about doing pilates. It doesn't seem like you're working out as hard as you really are! And within a few weeks, you'll see results in energy levels and how your clothes fit.

I know EVERYONE is on this low carb thing, but it really does work. Don't cut out carbs completely. Just make sure the ones you eat are whole grain or high in fiber. Simply, don't eat any white carbs.

Lots of veggies and lean protien should be the bulk of what you consume.

And this really is the key............ Drink TONS of water. Like 12 cups on an average day, more when you are excersizing.

After a few weeks, your energy will build and you'll just be dying to get off the couch and run around the block! Seriously!

Best wishes to you!!!

The way that you have learned to eat is responsible for making obesity (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) the number 1 health problem in the world soon replacing hunger and infectious disease. So it is mostly not your fault if you need to lose weight. You are part of this pandemic (epidemic) of obesity.

You need to learn a whole new way of eating. The site below will teach about losing bodyfat, retained water and something else. Plus you learn about anti-water and absolute fastest way to lose weight. Learn everything on it. Do this and you can be thin. Do this not and remain part of the biggest pandemic ever.

Answer 4

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Answer 6

YES! Join www.teamintraining.org - train to walk a marathon. You raise money for blood cancer (leukemia and lymphoma patients), learn about nutrition, and exercise as a group. Its the best thing I ever did! If you walk, you'd probably burn more fat than if you run.

Pilate's is a very good work out. It seems that it gives you a lot of energy to do other things. It also does not make your body ache.
