Whats the easiest way to loose weight?

Question

Besides running....

Answer 1

You don't have to run to lose weight -- you just have to eat less and exercise more. Try saying "no" to a couple of food items each day, or leaving food on your plate after each meal. Try adding more exercise in smaller bits into your day -- take the stairs instead of the elevator, go for a brisk walk at lunchtime, run errands on foot instead of by car, park far away from the store and walk through the parking lot instead of parking up close, etc.

If you can take 2 brisk 15 minute walks a day as well, that'll help too.

The key is to make small changes at a time to your regular day. Changes that you can sustain over time. The only effective way to lose weight and keep it off is to make lifestyle changes you can maintain for the rest of your life. So, no crash diets, no starving yourself, no forcing yourself to exercise like a maniac for 90 minutes a day. Start small and gradually move forward. And good luck!

There are no quick and easy ways to lose weight. The amount of time you spent to gain it, should be the same amount on when you want to lose it. The diet fads you see on TV are nothing more then money making schemes. Some are not healthy and can put you in a worse condition, even if you have lost a few pounds. Weight loss is based on the simple premiss: Eat less then what your body burns. For example: If your body burns 2000 calories a day to maintain its weight, then eat a diet that contains less then 2000 calories. Then reward yourself once a week. There is absolutely nothing wrong with treating yourself to your favorite restaurant once a week as a reward for sticking to your diet. The trick is to be honest with yourself, don't cheat on the diet. Eat smarter, drink plenty of fluids (not beer or wine), and start with some light exercise. Go for a walk around the block. Good luck

Answer 3

I don't believe there is any "easy" way to lose weight. I don't believe in diets because sooner or later you'll return to your regular diet. I have found that watching your caloric intake and balancing your diet, along with regular exercise is the best way to lose weight. I have lost 40 lbs. and kept it off just by eating a well balanced diet (healthy carbs, low fat, vegetables, nuts, limited red meat, grilled chicken and fish,and plenty ofH2O) and getting some form of exercise four times a week. Little things like using stairs instead of the elevator, parking farther from the store doors, and taking in an evening walk can make a big difference in the long run. Lifestyle change is the best thing anyone can do for them selves.

Healthy food for weight loss

Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).

Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.

When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.

Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:


* Eat breakfast
A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.

* Drink water
Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.

* Add vegetables
Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.

* Try to eat more salads
If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.

Answer 5

Running is very hard on your knees, you really shouldn't be doing that. I watch my carbs and sugar and I also go to Curves for Women. It's nice there and everyone is friendly. It's really cheap too. Just keep moving everyday and don't stress about losing weight all of the time.

Answer 6

Eat breakfast
Cut out soda
Go for a walk 30 minutes a day (normal pace)
You'll be surpized how much weight you can lose just by doing these three things.
