In desperate need to lose weight!!?

Question

I need some tips on how to lose weight efficiently.... and maybe gain some biceps.....

Answer 1

Ok let's look at what you REALLY want - you don't want to 'lose weight', because you 'want some biceps', and gaining muscle will put it on - and if the weight gained is lean muscle then it's 'good' weight. What you clearly want to do is get rid of excess fat, while maintaining and/or increasing your muscle mass.
The worst thing you can do is 'diet'. This will cause the body to catabolise lean muscle which reduces your metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate is the speed at which you burn energy, and this is what keeps the fat off you in the first place. You will lose some body fat, but most of the weight lost is either muscle or water - useless.
So what I'm saying here is DON'T keep checking the scales - use a tape measure. Your weight may not reduce, but if your pants are falling off, who cares? Here's how I did it ..
Eat lots of fresh produce - fruit, veg, lean meats - pretty much to whatever quantities satisfy you at mealtimes. Completely avoid sugary crap and don't mix starch carbs with proteins EVER!! This confuses your digestive system for reasons which would take too long to explain here, but in the end it leads to weight gain. So have pasta by all means, but eat it with a ratatouille or veggie chilli. The same goes for bread. Avoid fried food as these contain large amounts of oxidised saturated fats which have no nutritional value and make you fat - even worse if you mix them with starch carbs - so the burger and fries has to go! You can still have the burger, but have it with salad. Eating fried potato is just putting a time bomb in your mouth.
Combine wholesome nutrition with exercise, and the excess weight will just fall off you. I lost 20 inches of fat in 4 weeks, and nobody could believe I did it so quickly. Good luck!

The holidays can be stressful... and unfortunately, many people reach for food as comfort. If you find yourself regularly eating in response to stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, loneliness, relationship problems, or poor self-esteem, try to break the habit with some of my strategies below.

Learn to recognize your hunger. Before you automatically pop something into your mouth, rate your hunger on a scale of 1 to 5 -- 1 being ravenous and 5 being full. Make every effort to avoid eating when your hunger is a 4 or a 5.

Find alternatives to eating. Make a personal list of activities you can do instead of eating. Perhaps go for a walk, call a friend, listen to music, take a hot shower/bath, exercise, clean your house, polish your nails, surf the Internet, schedule outstanding appointments, watch television, look through a photo album,

Keep a food journal. Logging your food will help to identify your toughest timeframes. It also will make you accountable... so perhaps you'll be less apt to reach for unnecessary food.

Three-food interference. Make the commitment to first eat three specific healthy foods before starting on caloric comfort foods (i.e., an apple, handful of baby carrots and a yogurt). If after that, you still want to continue with your comfort foods, give yourself permission. However, most of the time, the three foods are enough to stop you from moving on.

Exercise regularly. Daily exercise relieves stress and puts you in a positive mindset, which provides greater strength to pass on the unhealthy fare.

Get enough sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation can increase hunger by decreasing Leptin levels, the appetite regulating hormone that signals fullness. With adequate sleep, you'll also be less tired and have more resolve to fight off the urge to grab foods for comfort.

Keep this rule of thumb in mind, in order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. Make sure you eat things that are healthy, that way whatever you eat can be used for energy and allows you to make muscles.
