i had bought them like a couple of months before school started but i gained a couple of pounds and ive been on my diet for like 4 months thats why. i was planning on using them for school but since they were the last pair i bought them early

Answer 1

Well, that's a fairly simple task, especially for someone not to concerned about muscle loss. Crunches and ab work are not going to shrink your waist, just like they're not going to give you 6-pack abs that you already have. You have to drop your bodyfat level to lose inches off your waist.

Like I said, it's pretty simple...depending on if you can stick to a diet / healthy eating habits. The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.

Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.

Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fat. Cut out mayonaisse while you're at it.

White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).

Your going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?

Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.

Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).

The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes

OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits

Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water

You need to drink 1 gallon minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.

Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).

If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or run for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.

Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural...it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food.

Good luck!

Answer 2

FITNESS IS THE ANSWER, BABY! Whether you want to go to a gym or to take some sort of a class like Yoga or self defence, you better practice it 3 or even 4 times a week and you'll burn it all down FAST! Oh, and eat the same... cause you may feel hungry and might want to eat more, but you'd better get used to it, cause if you'd eat more you ain't gonna change.

However don't do it if you got some physical disabilities or something... Good Luck!

Answer 3

Maybe you are doing the wrong exercises. Try doing crunches for your abdomen and touch your toes. For the waist stand straight and reach down as far as you can to either side. Turn your body using only the upper body as far as you can to either side. These exercises should be repeated many times during the day.

Answer 4

Keep it up and eat healthy in the end you WILL see results
