healthy speedy weightloss?

Question

I have an exercise bike at home on which I was cycling for 20mins a day, 7 days a week for 4 weeks. I was eating healthily, square meals and only fruit for snacks.

Really sorry to tell you this, but there is no such thing as healthy and speedy weight loss. Healthy weigth loss is very slow. You can expect to lose around 1-2 pounds a week if you follow a decent exercise regime. This equates to 3500-7000 calories per week, or an average of 500-1000 per day. Your calorie intake should never, ever drop below 25 calories per kg of body weight( this is called you Basal Matabolic Rate and is a very good estimate of the number of calories you need just to do absolutely nothing). If you go below this, your body will go into starvation mode. Here your appetite is increased, and your metabolism slows down (the exact opposite of what you want) meaning you eat more and burn less and when you do eat again, the body seizes the chance to store fat. Depending on your daily activity levels and your weight, you can make up a good amount of your calorie deficit by keeping at your BMR. You need to make up the rest of your deficit by exercise. 45 minutes on a CV machine (cross trainer, exercise bike, rower, treadmill) can give you around 400-500 calories. Go to www.caloriesperhour.com - they have a caluclator where you put in your weight, your speed etcetc and it tells you how many calories you use. The calculator covers all sorts, not just gym machines and it is free to use. Good luck - keep faith in yourself. If you need any more help, email me [e-mail]

Answer 3

Never fast. Never skip breakfast. Protein in the morning! Try moving to 5 or 6 small meals/snacks a day rather than 3 main meals. Cardio activity should be between 30 minutes and 60 minutes in a session if you can handle it... work up to things, don't start trying to cycle marathons - you will only get discouraged. Break it up into two sessions in a day if you wish.

Losing weight takes time... it should take time, you want it to take time - too much weight loss at one time is not a good thing.

Answer 4

try to get some "power" work in too... if you have weights do some weight bearing exercises like arm curls, lunges, crunches... you can find all kinds of easy to learn and basic "power" moves on msn.com.

to lose fat you should be doing more than 20 minutes of cardio at a time but not everyday. it takes the human body about 20 to 25 minutes to go from carb burning into the fat burning phase of aerobic exercise. so just as you're getting into the fat burning phase you're stopping.

try 45 minutes of cycling 3 days a week and 45 min of power work 3 days a week and one day to let your body rest and rebuild.

as far as eating... 50% fruits and veggies... 30% lean protein... 20% whole grains, high fiber cereals (like Kashi brand) and brown rice. experiment with spices to jazz up the flavor.

good luck!

Answer 5

Just continue doing what you are doing!!

If you are anything like me (and I am in the clinically obese category!!!) the weight seems to take forever to come off and once I get it off and go back to my old habits - the weight just goes right back on again! Take it from me - there is no such thing as healthy speedy weightloss!

One thing I am doing at the moment to try get myself healthy is to set myself a megga physical challenge!

I am going to Swim the Channel! I'm not going to don on the goose grease and go over to Dover but I am planning to swim the 22 miles - that's 1,408 lengths of my local swimming pool in aid of the charity ASPIRE!

Why not find out what is happening in your area. My advice is not to do a sponsered slim though - it will just put you under too much pressure!

Try this website it's amazing and it's free, join the 3day free trial as many times as you want Weightlossresources.co.uk. I have already explained about it in a question so just go check it out, it works for me and my friend better than anything else. It also has an American food database as well as English. Also muscle weighs loads more than fat so use a tape measure, don't just rely on scales. For example a pound of fat takes up FOUR TIMES AS MUCH SPACE as a pound of muscle, you'll get a truer idea of your success especially as you exercise a lot.

Answer 7

How healthy is healthy? Diets do not work. 99% of people gain the weight back. Here is how it works. No one teaches the animal what to eat and what not to eat. He knows instinctively what to eat. Humans also have the same instinct. The way it works is just eat whatever tastes good and that will be healthy for you and non-fattening. That is why a baby tastes everything. So again whatever tastes good, is good for you. This is why you will spit out spoiled milk.

But wait!!! Man has the technology to create rat poison. It tastes like healthy food (good taste) but kills the rat. So man has done that to you. Note- any food unaltered by man (uncooked) that tastes good, is good for you. So if you are stranded in the woods, that is how you know what to eat (cooking changes that). So man has created fake fruit. It tastes like fruit that exists in nature but it is terrrible for health, addictive and fattening called sweets.

So it is natural to like real sweets called fruit, like a baby does, but they have fooled you just like the rat. But they do not want to kill you. They want you to become obese so you will buy lots of their foods. This is called GOOD BUSINESS. Remember the above (not on site) and see site below to re-learn how to eat so you can be thin and fit for life.

Ive lost 5 kgs in 4 weeks, plenty of water, I ate breakfast,something I never did and cut down on my red meat in take, ate shedloads of vegetables and did more exercise...simple, feel healthier,look better and keepin off the weight, by the way, muscle weighs more than fat so if you tone up you can actually put on weight.

Answer 9

You need to eat less calores per day than your body requires. A man needs about 3000 calories a day so should eat less to lose weight. One pound in weight equates to about 3500 calories and 20 minute walk only burns off 200 calories, so eating (not eating!) is the key. Lose the weight slowly and it will stay off. 1-2 lb per week.

Answer 10

Hi
Try this simple plan it really worked for me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx
