Answer 2

Proper diet and exercise can aid in weight loss, as well as keep you healthy. We know you've heard that before - the challenge is to follow through. Others have lost weight by following these simple guidelines, and so can you.

Steps
Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit and then go for 5 more.
Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
Sneak in extra exercise in addition to your regular program. Park at the far end of the parking lot and walk; take the stairs instead of the elevator.
Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.

Choose foods that you like. Learn to prepare healthful, low-calorie foods that taste good by checking healthy cook books for new recipes. Eating well doesn't have to mean eating dull.

Eat smaller, more frequent meals; this way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating.
Plan ahead. Keep the fridge stocked with healthful food and you'll be less likely to run out for high-calorie, high-fat junk food.
Keep a food diary. This will help you pinpoint where you can improve your diet.

Once you discover your favorite snack time, be sure to have plenty of healthful options available.
Tips & Warnings
Lose weight with a friend, or join a support group.
Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.
Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast - eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content even fills you up for longer.
Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don't shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
Lose weight gradually - you are more apt to keep it off. A safe amount is 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week.
Consult a doctor to find an exercise program that is best for you.
Crash diets can help you lose weight quickly, but most people gain the weight back. Some of these diets are also unhealthy and dangerous. If you choose to go with a specific diet plan, choose one that is medically credible.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact a physician or other health care professional before engaging in any activity related to health and diet. This information is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment

Answer 3

I like to use those bikes that tell you how many calories you burn that way I can get a feel for how much work I need to do to burn the calories i want.

Right now I do either one of two things:

a. eat 1500 calories a day with light to moderate exercise
b. eat 2000 calories a day and burn a minimum of 500 calories

The calories I have to take for my BMR (basic metabollic rate) is 3000.

You should figure out your BMR which is something along the lines of your weight *(a) + height *(b) - age*(2)

where a and b are constants depending on whether you are male or female.

heres a link to determine your BMR
http://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm

Your BMR is how much you need to eat just to keep your body in normal working order, for things like keeping your heart pumping and your brain thinking, and to be able to do regular activities (which is considered a sedentary lifestyle)

Now if you add aerobics and weights to that your calorie consumption needs will change depending on your goals.

To lose weight you need to burn 3600 calories per every pound you wish to shed.

For losing weight and keeping it off you should do it gradually which is usually at most 3 lbs a week.

Say you want to lose 20 lbs. Multiple 3600x20 = 72000 calories you need to burn in order to lose 20 lbs. Theres no way you can lost that much in a day or even a week, especially if your BMR is around 2000. So, you should spread out your calorie goals over a period of time say 2 or 3 months. This is more realistic than trying to purge a lot of weight at once.

It is not healthy to eat less than 1200 calories a day.

If you figure out your BMR, and your weight loss goals, you can plan out how much work you are going to have to do.

There is no miracle exercise. Only persistence and discipline will get you there.

So in terms of your question, again I would recommend using a cardio machine like the treadmill or bikes that tell you how many calories you burn in a session, that way you can plan your calorie intake/reduction needs accordingly.

Answer 4

Anything cardio that burns calories is good...shoot for an hour a day (I do 2 hrs a day when I'm trying to lose weight, 1 hr each morning and evening)...cut your calorie intake somewhat so you intake less calories than you burn...

Do toning exercises also...muscles you build will help your body burn more calories all the time, even when at rest...

Good luck!

Answer 5

without doubt running is the most effective exercise for weight loss

start with daily walking to prepare for running then run
do not increase your mileage too quickly but if you are able to run regularly such as four times per week for sessions of at least thirty minutes you will soon achieve fitness and a healthy weight

add a high carbohydrate high fiber diet to your running
especially a vegetarian diet
and you will be surprised and happy with the quick results

Answer 6

There's a precardio surgery diet out there, that consists mainly of a veg. based soup. My son went on it, and went from 285 to 210 in a matter of a couple months. He had no heart problem, but was advised that the diet was a good safe way to lose weight. It works, and he has never felt better.
