Question

Has anyone lost weight rapidly and wishes to share how s/he eats and exercises during the day and anything else which helps such as how to increase metabolic rate please

Btw I am 19 years old and I wish to change my life at least my figure will surely influence my self-esteem

Moreover I wish to know if there are any herbal teas which help weight loss...but I don't want any pills which I feel they are unnatural and harmful...I still want to be healthy.

Answer 1

If your wish to loose weight rapidly, and you realize that this is a very serious commitment you are making, then the following may work for you:

Obtain a roll of ribbon from some store near you. In your car drive, and stop at all the following intervals to tie a single loop of ribbon around a telephone pole:
1 Mile
2 Mile
3 Mile
4 Mile
5 Mile

Those ribbons will be your target on walking, jogging and running exercise trips.

Now each day you must eat only fresh fruit on plain grain cereal such as bran flakes/corn flakes/rice cakes/shreaded wheat, and drink only water or natural juice. This takes you off of all external sugar and fat/meat products.

Start your exercise by walking to the first ribbon and back. (= 2 Miles). Walk at a brisk pace swinging your arms; maybe even tossing punches like Rocky Balboa.

Next day do the same walk in the morning and in the evening ( = 2 Miles + 2 Miles).

Repeat the (2 Miles + 2 Miles) for 7 straight days and keep on the diet - no cheating.

Expand your exercise path to the next ribbon.

Do the 2 Mile ribbon (2 Miles out + 2 Miles Back) in the morning for seven days.

Then begin adding an evening exercise to this distance also.

As your confidence builds, you need to step up from walking these exercise distances to jogging for part or all of them. When becoming comfortable with that, add in a full run for part of the distance and drop back to jogging. The object of all this is to work up a good sweat and keep working your body until the distance is covered. If you stop and cool off, the effort is wasted. You must continue the exercise and maintain the sweat.

When you can walk/jog out 5 Miles and back without stopping, take a look at yourself in the mirror. I think you will find what you were looking for.

Answer 2

Get anything "rapid" right out of your head. Make a committment to do this properly otherwise if you have unrealistic goals you won't stick to it.

I do my cardio in the morning (either running or and RPM/spinning class). That sets your metabolism up for the day. I keep any weight training for the evening as personally I feel stronger then. Also my muscles have a chance to recover over night. Pick an exercise regime that you enjoy which is not a chore. You've got to pick something you can stick to. RPM/spinning, aerobics, step classes, road running on your own or with someone, body attack or body pump classes, kick boxing or a martial art... anything that's cardiovascular and includes balance and core strength...

Eat little, healthy and often during the day. Don't skip breakfast! Don't do what many people do... no breakfast, lunch on the run, work late, come home late and stuff your face then watch telly and go to bed... reverse your eating pattern!! Huge healthy breakfast, good hearty lunch, another snack in the afternoon and only a tiny meal in the evening, try not to eat ater 6pm.

Take note of the calorific values of what you eat and the calories that you burn. You should end up in negative equity where you burn more than you consume. Then you'll lose weight.

ADDITION: About weight loss teas... they say Green tea is a bit of a diuretic but read these article... I doubt its what you to want to hear...

Answer 3

Listen: you need to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. The 45 minute thing is not true, but don't over 60 minutes at a time.

Do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.

The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!

Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

Good luck and stick at it.
