Ive lost weight before but this time its hard for me does anyone have any healthy tips???

Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Let me give you a hint of good advice: dieting is all fine and safe, but STARVING yourself is not only torture, but it slowers your metabolism by 25% AND it takes away 5 years of your life after starving yourself for 3 months straight. So, I suggest a good diet, not too much or not too little. Here are some tips to lose weight and keep it off for as long as you want:

.) 1.)Stick to a slim diet of 1000-1200 calories per day, no more or less. Choose from varieties of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat or non-fat dairy products. Eliminate all oils, fats, complex carbs, and unwanted sugars that you find in donuts, chocolate, pastries, cakes, white bread, and bagels.

2.)Drink a lot of water a day, at least eight 8 oz glasses a day, to supress hunger and flush out fat.

3.) Exercise 15-60 minutes every other day, preferably 4 times a week, skipping Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. This keeps you trim in healthy.

Answer 3

There are lots of adv. to reduce weights but according to me.
Eat high in protein in morning for break fast i.e eggs (omlet with little oil, boiled egg), kidney beans or beans.
Eat apple or fruit with high in water.
Do not eat fast..eat very slowly at lunch time. Try not to eat while driving, watching tv or doin some other activities.You might eat more than you should.
Don't forget to have breakfast as it starts your body's metabolism(burning system)
Excercise is always best.

Answer 4

eat at least 1200 calories a day, but make sure it full of proteins, healthy carbs and fiber. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day...weight training is excellent if you haven't done that before, give it a try.

Answer 5

The worst thing is to do stupid things like "Eat only 1200 calories". That is stupid and terrible for your body. Don't deprive your body, FEED IT to lose weight.

Here it is, simple, easy, and effective. MOVE YOUR BODY. Move it all the time. Remember when you were a child and you could not sit still. Get moving. Walk, play, just move all the time. We sit behind computers at work, then go home and sit and watch tv. We need to move.

Now eating you can make some changes, but ease into it. THe hardest thing to do, but the best is eliminating anything that comes out of a box. At least try to eat more raw foods.

Now after you work out, DO NOT EAT! Your body is thirsty, not hungery, and you need to drink water, not replace your liquids with solid food, that is going to go right to your muscles and make you bigger.

When I needed to get big for football, I would eat a lot after working out. I did not get fat, I got BIG! When I needed to lose weight for wrestling and swimming, I did not eat for at least 2 hours after, I got small and skinny.

I hope you get my main point though, MOVE YOUR BODY!!!

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.


On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.

The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.

For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.

If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.
