What's the best workout to lose weight?

Question

also what foods are best to eat during this workout/diet?

Answer 1

While trying to lose weight I read all kinds of stuff, most of it valid information, I found what worked for me, and others I seen was movement, whenever and what ever. I tried walking everyday for 2 miles, but I didn't always do it. I would however put on some music and stop a few times to dance, I go the long walk whenever I can, it all adds up. As for diet high fiber, water or tea, lean protein, and low fat. I had a one meal treat once every 7 days, I lost 70 lbs. in a year and half. Have kept most of it off for 6 years now.

The best workout for losing weight that I've found is education:

Losing weight really is as simple as basic addition and subtraction. If the calories you eat add up to more than what you burn in a given time period, you will gain weight. Conversely, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. Depending on your size and activity level, the number of calories will vary quite a bit. The secret is finding your “break even” calorie intake level. For most people, the “ball park” figure will be around 1800 to 2000 calories per day. If you are larger than average, this number will be higher, lower if you are smaller than average. Metabolic rate can have an effect on these numbers as well. Exercise plays an important role also, as this can increase the number of calories you burn by quite a bit as well as increasing your metabolic rate.

If you want a generally healthy diet that’s easy to follow and avoids hunger, the one I recommend will do the job very well. You can fill up and still lose weight. Eat lots of fresh vegetables as they contain very few calories yet are full of good nutrition. The less you cook them, the more nutrition they retain. Stick with whole grains, as they tend to be better for you and don’t turn to sugar as readily as processed grains do. For example, whole grain bread is much better for you than plain white bread. Eat a variety of fruit on a daily basis. Avoid empty carbs, fats, and sugars…. Examples: junk food and soda. If you feel you need protein to build muscle, add some chicken or fish to your diet. Avoid beef and dairy products, the cons outweigh the pros.

If you can’t get your mind into the ‘eat to live; don’t live to eat mode‘, you should probably read this short article on the psychology behind overeating:

Answer 4

a well balanced diet... and walking does magic.

www.mypyramid.com not a gimmick... just a life long term diet where you moderate the fun foods and maximize the healthy stuff.

and hydrate properly.

not only should you lose weight (12lbs is the MOST you should lose in a month) but keep it off and not starve to death.

gimmick diets backfire and people can put on double, triple the weight from them.

stick with a common sense diet.. and you'll feel better. possibly improve your health and keep the tonage off.

:D
