What's the best way to lose weight?

Answer 1

eat less/better and exercise more.

Answer 2

Lose 10 pounds

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 3

Diet (eating too little calories) is a guarantee weight loss failure. Your body needs calories to survive. If your body does not get enough calories to sustain life, your metabolism drops to protect itself. Will you lose weight with dieting? Yes…. However, it is not a permanent weight loss. You will eventually gain the weight back plus more.

When you diet, you will lose weight, which consist of water weight, muscle weight, and maybe a little fat.

I am sorry but there is no short cut to weight loss. It requires time, persistence and hard work. If you want to lose weight safely and effectively, I outline the some general tips.

1. Exercise (resistance training): Lifting weights can add muscle to your body. Your metabolism is highly correlated with how much muscles that you have. Your muscle is where fat is being burned.

Basically, the more muscles that you have, the higher your metabolism, the more calories that you can burn even when you are sleeping. That is why 255-pound bodybuilder can eat more than 5,000 calories a day because of the amount of muscles that they have. They need to eat a lot just to maintain their muscle.

Here are some exercises that will give you the best bang for your time.

Squat, Dead lift, lunges, Military press, Push-up, Bench Press, Lat Pull Down, Pull-up, Row, etc. Focus in multi-joint movement to involve more muscles.

2. Aerobic training: One way to boost your metabolism so that you are burning more calories is through interval training. Interval training consists of alternating between high intensity and low intensity training. For example, jog for 2 minutes to 30-second sprint. Repeat for 20 minutes.

Interval training is much more effective that steady state cardio e.i. 30 minutes running with the same speed. Interval training allows you to burn more calories while reducing your time.

3. Supportive Eating: Eating smaller meals through out the day can help boost your metabolism. Eating smaller meals every 3 hours helps fuel your body. Think about it for a second. I am sure that you know someone who eats all the time and yet are lean and you probably know someone who eats very little and yet the person is fat.

What should you eat? In every meal, you should attempt to eat lean protein, starchy carbs, and fibrous carbs.

Lean protein such as chicken, white eggs, turkey, soy, lean meat, fish, tuna, salmon, etc.
Starchy carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, red potatoes, yams, etc.
Fibrous carbs such as fruits and vegetables.
These tips alone can help you a lot of you follow my guidelines. Remember, losing weight too fast will not be a permanent weight loss. Take your time and commit to eating better and exercising and you will eventually lose that weight.

Quick tips: Limit your sugar, saturated fat, and hydrogenated fat. Drink plenty of water.

Good luck

In your health,

Join slimming world!!
I've lost 3stone 1 1/2lbs since January of 2006 and i was pregnant!!!! I gave birth in August and still go to group!
YOu don't have to give up foods you love! there are no points or calories to count!
Also you can eat tons and i do mean tons!!
For example a green day for me, is:
Breakfast - 2 x weektabix a bananna and milk
snap either a slimming world ceral bar or a riveta bar, or packet of snack a jacks (something along those lines) i then eat about 3 -4 satsumas, and a couple of bits of fruit or veg.
Lunch, either a huge jacket potato with baked beans and 28g cheese or some cous cous (ainsley hariot stuff).
I will then snack all afternoon on fruit or veg or rice pasta or cous cous. Tea time i will have spag bol, (made myself) with a small amount (because you count your meat on a green day) of lean mince with homemade sauce and unlitimted amounts of pasta or spag.
I will then have a couple of muller yougarts, and some more fruit. or a frozen yog. Then i will have a mini mars bar or some other choccy!

I could go on here for ages!! Basically for an orginal day which is the other choice, you eat unlimited amounts of meat, but you weigh out your carbs.
So for green day, unlimited healthy carbs, and weigh the meat!
Honestly i've never eaten so much food in my life!
But its true to lose weigh and to get your metabolic rate to increase which speeds up the weight loss you really need to eat often. when you starve your body thinks its not going to fed again and hangs on to the fat.
YOU would get fantastic results more so by doing exersise too, but i've got plastic knees and hips so it wasn't easy for me.
I have set an online forum for all whom are intrested, or already attend slimming world. i only set it up this week, so its very new! But we are lovely lot at our group and i would urge any one to do this! I've attached my forum add and the slimming world website!
Good luck.
Rember only YOU can be what YOU want to be!

Answer 5

Mustard is a secret bulge-buster. It boosts your metabolism and boosts natural ephadrine, the hormone in which burns fat. According to Jeya Holly, professor of human nutrition from Oxford Brookes University, just a tablespoon in your food can reduce a flabby waist by 20 per cent!

Answer 6

Exercise. The reason diets don't work is simple. Just cause you eat less you still have to burn more calories than you intake. If you reduce your intake and exercise you will find this works best,however, if you sit on your but and eat less you will most likely still gain weight.

Answer 7

not always eating less as you may not be eating enough
so do you eat enough to start metabolism
do you eat to much carbo or sugar the safest way is eat 3 meals a day( low in carb perhaps) and don't eat between meals
and exercise gradually more and more each day.
but don't rush it if you loose to quickly it Will return slowly and healthy eating and exercise as a long term lifestyle is best i think

Answer 8

All good answers folks, i have trouble losing weight and the biggest problem is in your mind/will power.it's easy losing weight it's keeping it off that's the problem and you need a strong mind when your feeling down or a bit weak.

Answer 9

Chewing your food thoroughly doesn't just make digestion easier, but will allow your body time to recognise if it's actually full, thus preventing overeating.

Answer 10

Just make sure you use up more calories than you take in. Quick fix diets and fads rarely work in the longer term. You are much better changing your lifestyle over a longer period of time.

Answer 11

Go over to BeachBody.com and take a look at their systems.

I have had tremendous success with this system.

Even just going through their body shaping system and adjusting my menu with no workout at all I still lose weight.
