Good ways to lose weight?

Answer 1

Okay, don't listen to that guy/girl who said "Why do you keep asking this? It's not rocket science." because, hey who knows maybe he's over weight and just being lazy and taking it out on you. Plus, I looked at your questions and you haven't asked this before you asked a question about metabolism or something.

The healthiest ways to lose weight are excersize (walking, jogging, riding a bike, crunches, blah blah blah) and eating healthier foods.

Answer 2

It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way you have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, gradual ways to lose weight, most effective exercise and anti-water. Lose bodyfat and retained water which also makes you a lot fatter (bloated). Most important-- make sure to read the last "fat loss tip", first before anything else, to see the number one food that causes Americans to be fat.

*Exercise regularly

*You shouldn't starve yourself cuz you'll just go crazy and eat more than you were supposed to. Instead, eat small servings (by that I mean, if you're eating a chocolate bar, don't finish the whole thing, 2-3 squares @ the most) about 1-2 times a week.

*Drink lots of water (Lots of reasons:
-water keeps you alive
-is good for other beauty purposes like moisturising hair and cleansing face from within
-its a natural appetite suppressant)

*Cut down unnecessary snacks

*Get a hobby
(this may seem unrelated but its true. You should get busy with something to distract you so that you won't be tempted by the food as much. A lot of people eat when they're bored and one of the best ways to keep your mind off food and hunger pangs is to keep your mind on something else)

*Continually change your routine
(start slow, then slowly work yourself up to a more and more intense routine. If you go hardcore on the first day, then you'll end up with a lot of injuries and you'll only lose weight on the first few days. Wanna know why? Because if you adjust yourself to the same routine everyday, your metabolism is going to catch up with you. It will adapt to the amount of calories you eat and the amount of calories you burn and adjust it, so that you don't use too much energy, and therefore, lose less weight as you go along. But if you keep changing your routine, then your body won't have time to catch up and it won't be able to adjust itself and you can burn the calories steadily.)

*Don't be discouraged
(If you don't get the results you want as fast as you expected, then don't give up! Keep working at it!!! Its not as easy to lose weight for some than others.)

***Hope this helps!***

Answer 8

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 minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*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:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

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 resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

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”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com
