Good ways to lose weight?

Question

I'm 5'2" and I weight about 130lbs.

I want to lose at least 15lbs.

What kind of foods should I start eating, I know I should eat 'healthy' foods, but I like to eat to where I filled up and don't have to eat for a while.

I'm going to start running/walking 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. Will this do anything for me?

I dance everyday too for about 10-20 minutes.

Could anyone help me out?

Answer 1

dance for 30 minutes a day to either of these songs or a song with a fairly fast beat: s club 8 :sundown. s club 7 :alive . Britney Spears: overprotected.

stretching for 10 minutes.
run up and down the stairs for 5 minutes.
run for 10 minutes
and 5 minutes of sit ups.

that is 60 minutes of exercise each day.

avoid junk food. DO NOT eat junk food. but the paul mckenna i can make you think book. fidget( you could lose up to 500 cals each day by fidgeting) stand instead of sit. tap your feet or drum your fingers. sleep fo at least 8 hours each night.

finally, how long will it take to lose the weight?

5 ibs each month= it will take you three months to lose 15 ibs though it may take you longer or shorter time. it will depend!

Answer 2

(Not a doctor, but sometimes I think I give better advice;)

You are off to a great start with the exercise. You might add yoga and weightlifting for endocrine stimulation and strength, but be careful to pay more attention to how you feel than how you look. A little extra weight can be healthy. Exhaustion is not generally conducive to building endurance or strength, although occasionally it can be okay if you want to.

I have studied a lot about diet, it is tricky to balance lifestyle and enjoyment with health. My own strategy is the green smoothie, which sounds awful given the ingredients: mostly kale and apple juice. But I don't find time for salads and greens are crucial to any diet, so I fill a mason jar with this each day and sip between meals or use as a meal replacement. You get to like the taste over time.

Another Big Hint: eat to %75 capacity. This gives you more energy to digest with, keeps your digestive system clear and you will burn more fat as a result. You can use the smoothie jar to eat more often, or supplement with fruit.

Alway buy organic when available. It is the best health and political decision.

Pay attention to your body temperature to prevent depression and illness. If you are too hot, the green smoothie or fruit will cool you down. Rice or herb tea to warm you up, in addition to extra clothes. Saunas are great. Balance is always the key to sustained success.

Don't be discouraged if you have bad days or even weeks, this project lasts a lifetime. Attitude is everything in the long run. And don't get distracted, health is the foundation of your reality. #1 best investment, period.

Have Fun!

Answer 3

Eat six square meals a day, smaller to the proportion you would eat normally so your eating the same amount or just slightly higher or lower. This opts to obtaining the most metabolic structure for processing into usable substances rather than sitting in your stomach and being converted to fat. Watch what you put in and on your food and make sure what you are eating is organic. No added salts, sugar, no high fructose corn syrup (converts directly to fat instead of being used for energy as regular sugar). No MSG's (stops digestion) the more you do these things the better. I was eating at McDonalds almost every day for lunch and still lost because of the rest of this. Eat fresh grape fruit (not juice) before each meal and Oolong tea or Yerba mate (green tea can be supplemented but with less effect) four times a day. Run first thing in the morning when glycogen is at its lowest stores, before you drink or eat anything. Start the day with 10 oz. of room temp. Distilled water. Drink distilled water throughout the day (distilled water does not have chlorine or fluoride of which shuts down digestion and is bad for electrolyte balance and parasite defense.) Eat your largest meal with most fat content before the most active part of your day, (usually morning before work, unless at an office job). Don't eat two hours before bed. Consume flax seed oil and caisine protein directly before sleep. (Caisine is the slower digestive protein that will last all night to heal from the day. Found in nuts, peanut butter, certain protein shakes, or 4 oz. fat free milk would work as well) Low carb. Protein before work out, high carb snack or drink while working out and sugar protein directly after (insulin receptors are creating an anabolic effect for first 20 minutes after a hard workout and will use sugar as a healing regiment. You may also want to do some cardio within the first 29 minute after eating to burn off calories that you just ate. These are the basics without going into a book about the body and functions of anabolic, catabolic and metabolic structures and how each receptor and hormonal diversities consolidate with each other. I'm sure you have also heard muscle burns fat, which is true, but muscle also adds pounds which is why most dieting structures don't say to gain muscle and they are actually having you lose muscle while losing the fat, because they care about you seeing the results so you'll stick to it. Which is good for people who need to see the results, but not for those who can wait, cause if you build muscle first, the fat will shed off alot quicker and you'll get toned instead of just thin. The process will take longer, but will be healthier. If you would like a more personalized approach a lot more info would be needed. A lot on the best way to achieve your goal is on a psychological level of what you can handle and what you need to see to keep yourself motivated. Which is why a good personal trainer that knows what they're doing and that can really get in side your head would be helpful. It's too bad there aren't many around.

Answer 4

First off let me say because you are so close to your goal it will be twice as hard. I knwo you didn't want to hear it - but it's the truth.

You can eat healthy foods and still be full. Try eating 3 meals a day with some snacks inbetween. For example:

B - fruit bowl and an egg
S- protein shake
L - Salad with chicken or chicken and brown rice
S - oatmeal
D - Chicken and veggies

You need 30 minutes of cardio 6 days a week and weight training 2-3 days a week too. No soda, no candy, only whole wheat bread. No refined carbs.

Answer 5

1st eat breakfast. When you don't eat breakfast it drops your metabolism by 40%. Drink alot of water when working out . Those things helped me more than taking some diet pills. if you get sugar cravings try a cup of 1/2 water 1/2 grape juice. Good Luck!

Answer 9

I would suggest that you also take multi-vitamins. They are good for people who don't want to worry about getting their nutrients from other foods considered "healthy". I use the Sport ones at GNC and they also really improve my metabolism to boot.

Eat an apple instead of bottled juice
