Answer 2

You're probably looking for an "easy" answer, but I'm afraid I must disappoint you. Understanding weight loss is very simple; if you burn more calories than you ingest, you will lose weight. To lose weight, figure out how many calories you burn in a day and eat less than that amount. I assume that you don't burn enough calories, so you will most likely need to engage in EXERCISE!!! Exercising burns calories (allowing you to eat more than if you didn't exercise), reduces stress and provides immeasurable health benefits.

Don't fall into the fad diet hype. To lose weight in a healthful manner, and to keep the weight off, you must make a lifestyle change. You must eat sensibly and engage in some form of exercise.

Good luck

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a fitness calculator that you can put on your cell phone and computer. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with excellent resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter.

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”.

Answer 4

Count the calories of what you eat. Try www.fitday.com or www.nutritiondata.com. Check the ingredients of the things you eat, if 'high fructose corn syrup' appears as one of the first three--don't eat it.

Exercise 40 minutes at least 3 times a week.

Set a Goal and target weight. 2 lbs a week is realistic and sustainable.

If you fall off the wagon one day, you are not a failure, continue with your diet the next day.

Good luck.
