Answer 2

Jeff, It's not about the amount you exercise as it is what foods you eat and combine. Try eating as much fruit in the morning, waiting 3 hrs. then your next meal can be anything as long as you don't eat a protein with any starchy foods or carbohydrates. When you mix fruit with other foods before 3 hrs. the fruit fements and doesn't allow the fat in other foods to break down. also, drink purifed water and eat small meals 5 times a day but nothing after 9pm that is fatty of heavy. Good luck. Pilates exercises are also helpful. Cindy J

Answer 4

In order to lose weight you will need to eat less calories. The more food you eat the body uses what it can then stores the excess creating fat. So what you need to do is eat less then when your body needs food for energy it will begin to eat on the fat cells that are stored on your stomach,thighs, etc.. Also you need to drink an eight ounce glass of water prior to any meals, so that will also help you to lose weight. Also continue excersing so that you are not flabby when you do lose the excess pounds.

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 diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, 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 potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
