I have been walking everday about 2 miles, sometimes more and yet i havent lost any weight ?

Question

i need to slim down my hips.

Answer 1

You need to monitor your food intake too. Aim for no more than 1500 calories a day (I find calorie counting easier, in terms of managing portions) and go for foods that are low in fat and high in fibre. When you are thirsty, drink water rather than diet cola.

I would also go for 2x 30 minute walking sessions a day, rather than one long session as this will keep your metabolic rate elevated. If you can walk up hills or on uneven ground, even better as this will force you to work your core muscles and will tone you faster.

Answer 2

Eating properly is a big part of losing weight, but also make sure you give it some time. Dont beat yourself up over this if you have only been walking for a couple weeks. Also remember that you cannot choose where you will lose the weight from. It would be great if you could but you might lose it else where before you loose it in your hips. If you like a little more of a work out without having to run, buy some ankle weights, that will add a little resistance. Hope this helps

Answer 3

Make sure you are drinking water, at least 6-8 glasses of water. This will flush your system, make your skin glow and make you less apt to over-eat. Record everything you eat, the size portions, and types of food. Try not to skip a meal, eat a good breakfast (oatmeal, juice, fruit, yogurt or milk. For lunch a sandwich with meat, or cheese, and veggies. You can loose weight on a 1,200 calorie diet if you eat a balanced diet of protein, fresh or frozen veggies, fresh fruit (or canned in lite syrup), milk products (low fat yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, low fat milk).Avoid white sugar, or use it in moderation. Fried and fast foods won't help you loose weight. A 2lb weigh loss a week is a good loss, too rapid of a weight loss, you might bounce back and actually end up gaining. The more physical exercise you do, you will be able to loose weight and keep it off. Riding a bike, rollerskating, swimming, jogging, all will help you loose weight and gain muscle tone.

Answer 4

According to a bodybuilding website, walking does not get your metabolism up high enough to lose weight. But it is recommended since it is easy for fat people to do. No strain. Powerwalking is different since that does cause strain-- walking as fast as u can. It is not high impact like jogging.

Try this. Sit down with a fruit u love and a totally empty stomach. Then indulge in the natural sweetness and juicyness of it and (going against brainwashing) fill up your stomch with it. Doing this once may change your life. Fruit is not dessert. See site below on learning the right way to eat.

Answer 5

Watching your caloric intake has a far greater impact on your ability to lose weight than does exercise.

So, if you stick to a diet that enables you to lose weight WITHOUT exercising, then including the exercising will only aid in the rate at which you lose that weight, due to the increased rate at which you burn off fat calories, and due to the increase in the efficiency of your bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, etc.).

The key is definitely finding an effective diet for yourself. This is what I did, and it worked, and I did it with no exercising whatsoever.

Exercising is highly recommended to better your health (which I should have done), but is not essential when trying to lose weight, and has little impact, relatively speaking, as compared to dieting. But, it does have some impact, as I have stated above.

So, find a diet that works for you, and I promise you will be successful.

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.
