weight problem?

Question

i have been doing about 70 pushups and situps every other night for about a month now, and i'm not seeing any major differences.

my abdominals seem to still be covered in a layer of fat and i would like to know what is the fastest and most effective way to burn off all of the bodies unneccesary fat without losing muscle.

and also
would it be bad for my metabolism and fat loss to skip lunch at 12:30 and eat at 3 when school gets out, due to the lack of quality of food?

Answer 1

Dude, I only read part of your message
and then I got bored. The part I read is obvious.
Doing situps will really never remove abdominal fat,
Only aerobic activity will do that. Muscle really does not
remove fat (slowly and indirectly). Bah!
I'm tired now and can't type more info, but your question
has an obvious and real answer. I'll get back to you.

Answer 2

Let's attack the eating first. I would not skip meals. You are on the right track when you talk about your metabolism. Skipping meals will hurt your metabolism. If the quality of food is not good then carry something from home to eat during that time, perhaps a bag of almonds with a fruit is something that you can carry around with no problems.

Also when it comes to getting rid of fat, situps just won't get it done. Also how many sets are you doing for pushups to reach 70. Are you doing them all at once, breaking it up by 10s for example, what's the basic breakdown.

There's three things you need when you want to lose weight:

Small frequent meals that contain protein and low glycemic carbs.

Perform intense resistance training. You should be busting your *** when you workout with weights or your own bodyweight.

Perform both high and low intensity cardio.

Answer 3

dude you can lose weight by sit ups and push ups but thats gonna take a long time.. you need to go jog along with your situps and pushups and skipping lunch is not really that good for you because it will throw off the rest of your scheduled meal times you shouldn't eat dinner after 7 at night

Answer 4

To lose weight you have to find something you like to do that will work you out at least somewhat. If you think you can consistently do monotonous, robotic workouts then you've got it easy - keep going. Otherwise, like most people, you need something fun to keep doing it. If you know someone, for instance, who will play racquet ball with you that would be great. It's a no-brainer to learn, but really fun and fast paced enough to get your blood pumping. If at all possible, instead of changing your diet drastically, try to be more active until the amount you eat reaches a better equalibrium with the amount your body needs.

Answer 5

Exercise doesn't do much for losing body fat. Figure at most your sit-ups and push-ups burned 100 calories. You need to burn 3500 calories to lose just 1 pound. That's means 35 days for 1 pound!

You're better off picking a lower calorie diet. It's not bad to skip school lunch considering what they serve, but try to bring some snacks with you to school to tide you over so you're not starving.

My teen boys also bring a bottle of water (kids at their school drink bottled water so it's not weird).

Take a hard look at your food choices. Skip junk, frozen stuff, fast food and quick snacks with high calories.

Answer 6

if you eat 6 small meals a day and no snacking drink lots of water if you dont like tap try, dasani bottled it is purafied and tast alot better. this worked for me and i am over weight. good luck. and remember your beautiful no matter what.
