what's the best way to loose weight?

Question

i go to the gym which has all the equipment...like treadmills and stuff like that.

Answer 1

I recently lost 40 lbs. I would do an aerobic workout early in the morning before you eat. This will cause your body to attack fat first. exercise for 45 - 60 min.

The trick is to burn more calories than you take in.

One more weight loss trick is to lift weights and build muscle. The more muscle you have the more calories and fat you will burn.

I can give you more advice if you want to email me.

Answer 2

It's great that you're excercising! Remember to be consistent.

Eat healthily as well - Low GI diet is really good. Low GI food keeps you feeling full for a longer time than high GI food and is usually very healthy and nutricious. Look on Google for a list of some low GI food and eat a lot of them. Eat at scheduled times and eat slowly. Also eat many small meals rather than few large meals. Eat more in the morning, and less at night. You need more energy in the morning.

Also do lots of stamina activity. Cardiovascular excercise is great for weight loss. So go jogging, swimming laps, cross-country running, cross-country skiing, biking, and so on. Anything that excercises your body continuously without stopping.

Hope I could help!

Answer 3

First of all, your motivation FOR WHY you want to lose weight will determine your success.

If it is because of vanity, to attract the opposite sex or be accepted by a peer group, you are more likely to either hurt your body or fail to see the changes or both.

>KNOW WHY you want to do this.

>IF losing weight means your health and general life will improve....then go for it.

(1). Start SLOWLY

(2). Pray/meditate every morning and evening...usually prayers of thankfullness and greatfullness. You don't have to be religious to do this.

(3). Try a life-long diet from a book called,
" Fit for Life". I have lost 32 lbs in 6 weeks, not hungry and my palate has changed so sweets, pork and beef are foods I don't really care for although I can have them in small portions if I so desire. Take the food you usually eat throughout the day and divide it into 6 small meals. You will be amazed how much weight you will lose. DO NOT SKIP MEALS! DO NOT SKIP MEALS!

(4). Try doing a gentle, internal cleanse of your bowel system. This insures that the nutrition from the food you do eat will be optimally absorbed and the rest eliminated. I am using "CleanseSmart",First Cleanse.

(5). Take a daily supplement of magnesium (Ionic Fizz) especially if you are a woman,or an older adult (male or female) which helps the heart and nervous system. Vitamin C and a 1-a-Day vitamin will help you a lot. Life, with all its stresses and demands and worries tends to rob the body of these essential nutrients.

(6).Get plenty of excercise. The gym isn't the only way to do that.

~Try volunteering for Habitat for humanity to build a house,
~Start a local community garden or help someone who is older to garden (growing food, herbs flowers). It is strenous enough to burn calories but not so much to hurt yourself.
~If you choose a gym...read up on the proper way to use the equipment and why. There is a science to effectively using gym equipment.

(7). I make sure I get at least...7 to...9 hours sleep every night..

(8). Do creative things for pleasure (painting, gardening, sewing, reading, writing).

~Turn off the T.V.
~Clean your house (or someone elses for pay)

Cleaning a house actually burns 2000 calories per a 2-3 bedroom house or apartment. I KNOW...I do it for a living.

~KNOW YOURSELF (even the not so nice parts),

~KNOW WHY you want to lose the weight

~BE KIND TO YOURSELF (do not beat yourself up if you slip off your regimine once and awhile....it's called being human)

~ENJOY AND BE GREATFUL FOR YOUR LIFE

~ONLY SURROUND YOURSELF WITH ENCOURAGING PEOPLE

~TURN OFF THE TV! lol

May you be successful in all you endeavor to do that is good for you.

Healthy weight loss tips


* Take one pound at a time
Don’t get overwhelmed by how much weight you need to lose. Try to remember that "losing 15 pounds in two weeks" is nothing to celebrate. It is important to realize that the more quickly weight is lost, the more likely the loss is coming from water and muscle, not fat.

Since muscle tissue is critical in keeping our metabolism elevated, losing it actually leads to a decrease in the amount of calories we can each day without gaining weight.

Fat loss is best achieved when weight is lost slowly. Strive for a weight loss of no more than 3-4 pounds per week. One pound of weight is equivalent to 3500 calories.


* Set Reachable Goals
For instance, if you know you need to get more exercise, begin with a manageable goal of, say, walking 10 minutes a day that you know you can achieve. Then build your self-esteem by achieving the small goals you set yourself.

The same logic applies for losing weight.

* Stay off the scales
Don’t get discouraged when your progress seems to be slow according to your bathroom scales. They do not provide a true measure of what is going on with the body.

If exercise levels are adequate (5-7 days a week), you may be putting on muscle but losing fat, thus losing inches even if you are not losing pounds. It's always a good idea to do several body measurements to have a second objective way to monitor progress.

* Stay focused on being healthy, not thin
# Many people become more successful at long term weight loss when their motive changes from wanting to be thinner to wanting to be healthier. Change your mindset to think about selecting foods that will help your body's health rather than worrying about foods that will affect your body's weight. The Food Pyramid offers a basic outline of the types and amounts of food you should eat each day to give your body the nutrients it needs for optimal health.

* Fat Free?
We've known for some time that limiting high fat foods in the diet can be helpful with weight loss. That's because fats pack in 9 calories per gram compared to only 4 calories per gram from proteins or carbohydrates. To many, the message to limit fats implied an endorsement to eat unlimited amounts of fat-free products. Just to clarify, fat-free foods have calories too. In some cases fat-free foods have as many calories as their fat laden counterparts. If you eat more calories than your body uses, you will gain weight. Eating less fat will help you to lose weight. Eating less fat and replacing it with excessive amounts of fat-free products will not.

* Drink plenty of water
Drink eight glasses a day. Water is a natural appetite-suppressant. Nettle tea is a great weight-loss tea as it supports metabolism and has diuretic properties.

* Reward yourself
# Each time you reach a goal, such as losing 5 pounds, reward yourself with a gift or a massage.

* Seek help if you need it
# A big key in long term weight control comes from receiving encouragement and support from others. Find a friend to lose weight with or you can check to see if groups such as Weight Watchers, or eDiets offer programs and resources in your area by clicking the links. You may also wish to check with your local hospital to see if their registered dietician conducts group weight loss programs.

* Watch your portions
With the advent of "supersize" meals and increasingly huge portions at restaurants, our concept of normal serving sizes is a distant memory. Be mindful of the amounts of food you consume at a sitting. When necessary, divide your food in half and ask for a take home bag. It is all too easy to be a "plate cleaner" even when served enormous portions. Learn to pay attention to your hunger level and stop eating when you feel comfortably full, not stuffed.

* Eat your food slowly
Did you ever notice that thin people take an awfully long time to eat their food? Eating slowly is one method that can help take off pounds. That's because from the time you begin eating it takes the brain 20 minutes to start signaling feelings of fullness. Fast eaters often eat beyond their true level of fullness before the 20 minute signal has had a chance to set in. The amount of calories consumed before you begin to feel full can vary significantly depending on how quickly you eat. So slow down, take smaller bites and enjoy your food.
