What types of diet/exercise is best for the violin shaped (bottom/thigh heavy) person?

Answer 1

i have given this information to few people so i hope you use it if you really want to lose the weight. . .

make sure you are really dedicated, ask a friend who you know wants to lose a little, it is easier to lose weight when you have a friend with you. . .

also make sure you eat breakfast!
some good breakfast ideas are
-fruit and cereal
-protein shakes
-smoothies and fruit
-granola bars and fruit
-oatmeal and fruit
-eggs(try not to use butter or oil use water to "grease" the pan)
-veggie omlet

***make sure you eat breakfast within an hour of waking up, and make sure portion sizes are small enough to keep you full for a couple of hours

mid morning snack- make sure you have a small snack within 2-3 hours after breakfast some ideas. . .
-a piece of fruit
-carrots,celeray with lowfat dip about 2tblsp
-nuts
-smoothie
*****this should be light just to hold you over until lunch*****

lunch should be within 2-3 hrs after mid morning snack
remember to keep it light and not heavy.
-turkey on wheat with lowfat mayo and lettuce and tomatos + a piece of fruit or vegetable + granola bar + snack sized bag of baked chips
-soup + salad, with low fat dressing + breadsticks

*make sure portion sizes are decent, no overdoing it*

mid-day snack is usually 2-3hrs after lunch
-vegetables with lowfat dip
-nuts
-fruit with lowfat yogurt
-cup of yogurt
-jello
-smoothie
-snack size bag of chips that are baked or pretzels

supper is 2-3 hrs after you eat your mid day snack
-chicken (3-4oz) and pasta (3-4oz) with reduce sodium tomato sauce
-soup + salad lowfat dressing + breadsticks
-meat (3-4oz) + pasta or rice or potatos + fruit or vegetables

**********PORTION SIZES ARE KEY***************
it is also better to eat 5 times a day then to skip a meal, if you skip a meal the food you eat next stays on your body as fat, so keep eating 5 times a day that way your metabolism is always going.

good luck

also try cutting back on soda/pop if you drink alot of that and sugar, try not to eat any of that because it just adds empty calories

also make sure you excersie at least 30 minutes a day and walk as much as possible

Answer 2

A low calorie diet, that way you can still in moderation enjoy foods you like. Just find out what calories of the foods are and add them up. Oviously, fried foods are heavy in calories so just eat them every once in awhile. You can go to mypyramid.gov and type in the information and they can recomend the calorie intake for someone like you with some exercise. As far as the exercise any that gets your heart rate up will help you out. You might want to start with walking (outside or on a treadmill), then work your way up on a bike or jogging. Anytime you do exercise or dieting, it's best to discuss this with your doctor, especially if you have any health issues. Good Luck, I know this type of diet/exercise has helped myself and some of my friends.

Answer 3

30/30/30 rule.30 grams protein,carbohydrates and fat. No more. Ask your Dr. who knows your medical history. Only he or she can advise and maybe a consult with a nutritionist. Too much of or to little of any of these could warrant problems without medical consultation. This rule is what I know is best for me. With my Dr's advice only. Work out. Rebound. Walk. You would be surprised at the results in 4 weeks time. And how good it makes you feel. Check out the Glycemic Index. Is a book you can pick up at your local bookstore. You will be amazed at what you learn about common dietary guidelines.

Cardio and some upper arm exercises to balance it out a bit.
