Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You will not starve. You will not instantly become thin. Fasting is consuming only liquids. When the body does not have to deal with digesting solid food and getting rid of the waste that solid food creates, it can concentrate on getting rid of toxins. The most common reason to fast is to eliminate disease or from the body.



How much weight will I lose?

The main benefit offered by a fast, to those who wish to lose weight, is the speed of the weight loss. To see a person drop 30-to-40 pounds in a 30-day juice fast is to see a person totally transform his life. Self-esteem is given a boost and for the first time in their life, discipline becomes a lifestyle. The fast becomes a catalyst for a total life overhaul. People start dressing better, showing more confidence, becoming more organized, more dedicated in relationships and more at peace.

Initially, weight loss can be as high as three-to-four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound-per-day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism is the slower the weight loss.

Try to stay focused on the healthy things you are doing to improve your life rather than being consumed with the number of pounds lost each day. Water retention can vary your weight five pounds so watching the scale can be frustrating. The best motivation to fast is for physical and spiritual health. Be patient; the fasting process is slow. Be thankful the toxins are leaving your body. Do not have unrealistic expectations. Give your body the time it needs to do the work of cleansing.

Fasting And Metabolism

The fear is that while fasting, the metabolism will slow down and afterward there will be more weight gained than before the fast. Initially, any calorie reduction will cause a lowering in the BMR or base metabolic rate. Cleansing will bring health that will increase metabolic performance and energy output. In other words, you will eat less and feel more energetic.

After fasting, the body is more efficient. Digestion is better due to a cleaner colon. The colon walls have been cleansed of impacted feces, allowing improved absorption of nutrients. The good news is that greater efficiency equals enhanced energy. Healthy people burn more calories. They also eat less because they are more active and feel better about themselves. They don't need food as a security blanket.

The greatest impact you can have on increasing your resting metabolism is exercise. After a workout, you can be sitting on the couch reading while burning calories, as the muscles are grabbing glucose from the blood to replace glycogen supplies. The key to weight loss is fewer calories and more exercise. A diet high in raw food provides fewer, low-density calories, and higher-fiber, more-filling foods.

Oh, by the way, a slower metabolism diminishes aging. A tortoise can live to 400 hundred years of age.

Answer 3

If you're 12, the quickest and SAFEST manner so that you can drop a few pounds at your age is as a rule to do the next: a million. Be energetic in physical activities, figure out (not anything too hardcore), or simply be energetic. This gets you burning a bit of extra energy. two. Eat extra almost always, however more fit. If you devour six occasions an afternoon, with 3 tremendous foods (breakfast, lunch, dinner), and 3 healthful snacks in among, this may occasionally accelerate your metabolism plenty and you'll certainly drop a few pounds rapid (as rapid as your frame can drop a few pounds with out being dangerous). This is all you will have to do. If you do whatever else, like figure out tough center or do rather strict diets, you'll come to be potentially slowing or unsafe your growth. At 12, it's VERY normal so that you can be "obese." If you are taking it sluggish and do the ones 2 matters above, in a yr or 2 the "child fats" you received at 12 will leave on its possess, and also you could have proficient ur frame to have a rather rapid metabolism and keep skinny/slender (if that's what you wish). If you attempt to drive it you may also drop a few pounds now however acquire it again in part the time. I wish this is helping

Answer 4

Join a gym or other health club.Excercise and finding people that support you and will encourage you to reach your goal are important steps in losing weight. Secondly, eat healthier. No more trips to McDonald's or eating half the chocolate cake. Make an effort to include the reccommended amount of servings per food group in your meals each day. If you're not so sure that you'll stick to it, places like Seattle Sutton's Healthy Eating can help you stay on track. You don't have to count calories, just eat food that is good for you. Before you know it, you'll be 130 and looking fine.

P.S. Lay off the pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving! ;)

Answer 5

This is totally possible. The key to weight loss is diet, but exercises will help speed it up. First Start drinking only water, and a lot of it. Often you feel hungry when your body is really just dehydrated. Take a large water boodle every where and try to refill it four or more times a day. Second, no sugar/corn-syrup or other refined carbs, bread is OK but don't over do it. Try to maintain a diet of mostly fresh vegetables and fruits with some lean meats, like fish or chicken, for protein. A good model diet day would be:

Breakfast:
Two Eggs
A piece of fruit
A piece of toast
Lots of Water

Lunch:
Salad
a piece of fruit
Lots of water

Dinner:
Salmon
rice
salad
Lots of Water

Dessert:
A piece of fruit
Lots of water

If you follow a plan like this you will easily drop ten pounds in a month. To encourage with loss you should also try to get in 30 minutes of cardio workout every other day. This means something like running or swimming, any constant activity that gets your heart rate up for 30 minutes is going to help you lose weight. Remember drink lots of water and good luck

Answer 6

Hey I am 140 and doing the same thing.
I just started today.

If you need a support group..email me!

I found out that you must drink a gallon of water a day for all your organs to function properly. And the water will keep you full and keep you from snacking.

My breakfest is a bowl of Rasin Bran and a banana, and water

First Snack, Granola Bar

Lunch

Avacado Wraps

Low Carb Tortialls with Sliced Avacado, diced tomatos and sprouts. Its really good especially when the avacados are perfectly riped. If I need a little extra, I throw in some cheese again, with water

Afternoon snack, Yogert

Dinner

Broiled Chicken and White Rice

Evening Snack. Tofutti Ice Cream Mint and Chip

All day water water water

I also set my mountain bike up in the living room on a free stand cycle so I can spin in my living room while watch tv. I signed up for Nextflix so all the movies are delivered to the mail box which is a community mail box so I have to walk to get my movie. Always make sure the movie is something I have never seen..that way...I get so wrapped up in the movie that I forget I am spinning. Next thing, I now..I track 10 miles on my bike and sweating like a pig...

Answer 7

There's no fast way to lose weight. You should NOT be losing more than 1-2 pounds a week. That would be very unhealthy. Running and doing other cardio workouts will help burn fat away. Also, eat HEALTHY snacks about every 3 hours to keep your metabolism running quickly.

*I read what someone else wrote, and I totally disagree with it. DO NOT skip meals. That will make you heavier in the long run.

Answer 8

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

Answer 9

Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks??

There are some websites on the Internet, which promise you that you are going to lose 10 pounds in every 2 weeks. If you are good in math you will find that keeping these stats in mind, 260 pounds in a year. Losing 260 pounds is the figure, which is unbelievable and unexpected.

This kind of claims are planned just to cause clients to make impulsive decisions. When you gain weight, did you gained around 50 minds in two months? Certainly not. We gain weight in weight in small parts, which add up to our weight. This keeps on increasing with time.

I think you get what I mean to say. We normally gain weight in grams like 65 gram per week. With this stat you are going to gain around 7 pounds at the end of year.

This weight is so slow that you cannot measure it weekly. But in fur years you are going to gain around 28 pounds.

So how can you expect this weight to go in few days? You are going to lose the way you have gained it. So it will take time to lose weight. So you have to start losing weight systematically. You can lose weight by developing the good eating habits in you and nutritious foods.

Answer 10

Cut back on sugar. Drink a nice tall glass of ice water as soon as you wake up, it makes your body get in to motion trying to warm the water up, also, do about 30 min of workout BEFORE you eat breakfast, it evens out your eating habits during the day AND helps you burn most of what you consume. I dropped 2 dress sizes in a month and a half with these little tricks.

Answer 11

You need to walk quite a bit, drink alot of water, stay away from sweets, do sit ups eat only healthy food, eat three meals a day and if you are going to do dinner make it as early as possible. Also if you walk you need to do it after dinner so that you can burn the calories so the food does not stay in your system overnight but gets burned up. Honey by the time you are done you are going to look like a million dollars if you stick to it.
