what would be the best way to loose weight.?

Answer 1

try to consume 100 less calories a day...and try to get 30 minutes of some kind of exercise 5 days a week.

Answer 2

put on some muscle! strength training helps you to build muscle...the more muscle you have the faster your body can burn calories. this is the best way to trim inches and keep them off. always eat smart and drink your water but try and workout 3 times a week and you can expect to lose about 2-3 pounds a week maybe more depending on your workout intensity..oh and if you get a personal trainer (like i am) you will reach your goals up to 80% faster!
good luck!

Answer 3

No best way to loose weight.. but there are ways to LOSE weights

exercise, lots of exerciseS!

Answer 4

When it comes to losing weight a combination of calorie reduction and exercise is the only way to get and maintain the loss.

Some people, when considering what type of exercise they need to undertake inorder to lose weight having in mind walking vs. running. Walking is just as good as running, in general. It might also be noted that any exercise that burns calories (as long as it is combined with proper nutrition) will result in weight loss -- some exercises burn larger amounts of calories in a shorter period, but if you'll stick to a good regimen then you'll do fine.

I work with a number of professionals, students, and stay-at-home parents who don't have time for 'the gym,' can't go running or walking outside of their homes or offices, and they are still able to keep themselves fit. There are a number (quite a number) of good 'in-home' exercises you can do with a minimum amount of equipement.

Just so you'll know something about exercise and calories,
consider the following:

1) Spot-reducing really isn't possible unless you opt for surgery.
2) Not all exercise regimens are created equal. For example: If you do sit-ups at the rate of 1 per second for 30 minutes (1800 sit-ups) then you'll burn 140 calories (this is approximately the amount of calories in 1 can of Coke or 1/2 of a chocolate donut).

In other words, sit-ups aren't going to do the trick (walking is much more effective) since it takes a reduction of calories or a combination of reduced calories and higher energy expenditure (burning calories) to lose weight. If you burn or restrict your diet by 3500 calories you'll lose 1 pound.

I've been helping people stay healthy for a more than 20 years, I teach ongoing nutrition, cooking, and health classes and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance. Believe me when I tell you that you don't necessarily want to lose weight 'fast.' What you should be looking for is steady, functional fat loss (i.e., weight that stays off once it is gone).

Once you read what I'll write below, if you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them either on the FAQ side of my personal website or on my blog -- I won't use your name in either case if you don't want me to. You might also want to visit the FAQ section because it may have some helpful hints for you. It's located at: http://www.betterlifetoday.com/faqblt.ht...

If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner, keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. When I say 'balanced' I don't mean that they have to all equal the same number of calories. Instead, finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis (this will vary depending on your metabolic type but a decent example is the 40-40-20 plan -- 40% of calories from protein, 40% from unrefined carbs, and 20% from fats and oils) can really help keep your energy levels high all day long.

The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Splitting the amount of calories you can have per day into 5 - 6 smaller meals will help tremendously (this keeps your body fueled and ready to go and you also know that your next meal is only a couple of hours away).

Knowing what your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is will certainly help you determine how to be calorie conscious. Again, you can find out about BMR and RMR on my site -- it's just too much information to post here. Also remember that you may or may not need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

Again, there's no such thing as 'spot-reducing' (for things like 'belly fat' or 'thigh fat' etc) unless you're talking about surgery. Fat is burned off of the body from all over the body. The reason it seems as though some people can 'spot-reduce' is because, in general, the ankles, thighs, arms, and neck (and obviously the head) don't have as much fat accumulated around them. The reason is simple physics -- your chest to abdomen area (including your back) is a MUCH broader space for fat to be stored. So, it's obvious that this area will also lose a greater amount (but not percentage -- at least in the beginning) of fat.

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay. In general, if you'll cut back 250 calories a day and burn 250 calories a day (total: 500) then you'll lose 1 pound a week. Doing this will also help you keep your skin tone whereas losing 60 pounds through dieting along (caloric restriction) could result in sagging (still, a little extra skin is better than cardiac problems).

8) Lastly, remember that you're doing a WONDERFUL thing for your body.

I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take (if anything), that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take and how to calculate your BMR, you can visit my site (below). You can also write me at: [e-mail] and we can talk about what you might want to try if you actually need supplements.

Any questions, don't hesitate to write and ask.
