What is a good way to lose 30lbs in less than a year?

Answer 1

EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE 5 TIMES A WEEK. EAT NOTHING WHITE...NO SODA, ONLY WATER AND ORGANIC JUICES. EVERYTHING ELSE IS LOADED WITH SUGAR!! EAT A BALANCED DIET.INCLUDING FAT, PROTEIN, FRUITS , VEGETABLES....AND STARCH, BUT NOTHING WHITE. IT IS ALL PROCESSED JUNK. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 2

My ideas? Try 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. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.

On training days, 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.

Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.

Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

Answer 3

The good way to loose pounds is to eat less than you work . Or to drink 3 glass of 8 ozs water before you eat. The yogist usually drink 1/2 lemon press to juice and fill with 8 ozs warm water in the morning and the whole morning you will not feel hungry. Noon time you can eat 1/2 pound tomato without dress. 4 ozs cooked beans and 2 ozs meat or eliminate meat, 1 piece bread without jam or button.
The best is eliminated dinner. If you cannot skip dinner, will drink 3 glass water before you eat. After 2 weeks, you stomach size smaller.
Your eating can back to normal. This kind of manu can loose 3 pounds a week. I, myself experienced loosing 5 pounds a week.

Answer 4

To do this in a year you would need a caloric deficit of approx 300 Cal's per day.600 would do it in six months,a very realistic time frame.Decrease what you eat or increase activity by 600 Cal's per day and you are there,By far the best way is a combination of both.

Answer 9

oi. find your basal metabolic rate (google it and you'll find hella calculators to help you find it) eat at least that many calories a day, eat balanced, too, every food group, and then exercise. you don't have to run yourself into the ground or anything. start slow and do what you're comfortable with. gradually add on a little extra something every week or so after you've adjusted to working out

Answer 10

work out. just run a mile a day. do 50 crunches. and 25 push ups. evreyday.

and eat 4-6 small portioned meals instead of 3 big ones.

Answer 11

Getting rid of belly fat (or fat in general) is 60% diet, 30% exercise, and 10% mental thought. You must eat the right foods, exercise more often than you don't. Meaning at least four days a week, burning more calories than you consume. Also, thinking positive thoughts about yourself and not putting yourself down.

Portion control is key. You don't want to overeat.
A portion should be the size of your fist. You should have one portion of carb and protein per meal. A portion size for fat is a handful.

Carbohydrates:
Apples, Bananas, Blueberries, Raspberries, Strawberries, Mangos, Pineapple, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Celery, Carrots, Broccoli, Asparagus, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Corn, Steel Cut Oatmeal, Whole "Grain" Bread.

Protein: Salmon, Tuna, Halibut, Chicken Breats, Lean Ground Tukey, Turkey Breasts, Protein Powder, Protein Bars (Power Crunch Bar, Cliff Builder Bar) You don't want a high calorie, high fat, high sugar bar. The two I listed are good ones, and they taste great too!

Fat: Organic Peanut Butter, "Raw" Almonds or Walnuts, Balsalmic Vinagerette Dressing. (Just a handful of nuts, with your breakfast, lunch, dinner.) Fats help with digestion.

You want to have 4-5 small meals per day. 2-3 hours apart.
You will never go hungry and your metobolism will not slow down this way! Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed. (Also, get 8 hours of sleep if possible, this is also a major key to losing belly fat)!

Meal Planning: (Preperation is key)

Meal 1: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!
Meal 2: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)!
Meal 3: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!
Meal 4: Protein shake or bar (A glass of WATER)!
Meal 5: Protein, Carb, Fat (1 bottle of WATER)!

Remember to drink half of your weight in oz of water per day.
(ex: 120lbs = drink 60oz. of water per day.)

Exercise: (Do this in whatever ruitine suits you best).

Mon- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, abs
Tue- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)
Wed- light weights lower body, 20-30 min cardio, abs
Thu- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)
Fri- light weights upper body, 30-60 min cardio, abs
Sat- cardio 60 minutes (Power Walk, Run, Elyptical, etc.)

It's very important to sign up to a gym, it offers more motivation and try not to be shy about it. Also, when working out, get enough sleep so your body can repair itself!

This has worked for me, and I've helped friends lose weight this way! GOOD LUCK!
