Answer 1

losing weight is all about self control/ discipline... i would start out by taking away all the junk food in her house and buying healthy low calorie foods. this will help her stay focused and not get sidetracked with her diet by eating junk. make sure she doesnt eat premade meals, go out to eat too much, etc. also, she should work out. tell her to join a fitness class at the YMCA.. its affordable like 20 bucks a month and she will have to stick with a certain schedule to keep her on track. i dont think you need to spend all the extra money on a personal trainer/ equiptment. hope this works :)

Answer 2

deffinately have her join a gym and make her attend weekly classes. It helps to have a gym buddy alot, so make sure she has one. The next best thing is a personal trainer, then she does not have to feel self concious about her body in front of others. Even though it sounds silly, write her weight goals down. Make a food diary, and plan specific meals that are not loaded with unwanted calories. THere r plenty of websites that have calorie reduced recipes. Wish u the best of luck!!!

Also eating salads is very healthy its all about eating smaller proportions and being aware of how much you put into your mouth.


Long duration (45min - 1 hour)
Low intensity
Burn fat and not carbs
Preserve joints
High Intensity Cardio

Short duration (20min - 30min)
High intensity (interval training)
Burn tons of calories & rev up your metabolism throughout the day
Treat cardio like weights - explosive movements (sprinting, etc)
Our advice is to try both for at least 6 weeks and make sure to monitor your progress with a journal and take weekly photos of yourself to see if you're truly losing body fat.

For the real high intensity cardio people out there who love the H.I.I.T training (High Intensity Interval Training), below are the top three cardio exercise which will provide amazing results!

1. Jumping Rope - This is one of the simplest, yet most effective exercises one can do. In just 15 to 20 minutes, jumping rope will give you an unparalleled total body workout. Jumping rope is ideal for cardiovascular endurance and enhances performance in virtually any sport - tennis, basketball, football, skiing, volleyball and more. This simple exercise is also great for eye-hand coordination, lateral movement, foot and hand speed and agility.



2. Sprinting - Sprinting not only burns HUGE amounts of calories while sprinting, it also keeps your metabolism flying for days after. Sprinting combined with running / jogging can bring amazing results



3. Spinning - These high-intensity workouts to music simulate a challenging bike ride, complete with hills, valleys and varying speeds, all dictated by the group instructor.


Don't ever skip breakfast. Eat something: a piece of toast, fruit, etc.

Your body's metabolism rate slows down at night and does not speed up again

until you eat something.If you wait until lunch to eat, that is 4 or more

hours that your body is burning calories at a lower rate. Eat something soon

after you get out of bed and your body will burn calories at a higher rate

until lunch. Also, don't go more than about 5 hours during the day without

eating. That causes you to eat more at meal time. Eat healthy, low-fat snacks

in between meals is you are going to go more than 5 hours without a meal



2) Right after eating a meal, especially dinner, go straight to the bathroom

to brush, floss, and mouthwash so that your mouth is feeling nice and clean-

this makes it less appealing to eat more (especially before

bedtime)



3) If you get hungry you should chew gum. Some people just like to chew

things. Chew gum while preparing meals or making lunch for the next day, to

prevent you from nibbling food while it is right in front of you.



4) I have noticed that if you eat your meals away from the T.V. and other

distracting places that you will enjoy your meal better and will take a

little longer to eat the meal. Also drink at least 2 glasses of water or one

glass of milk during your meal and you will feel fuller causing you to not go

back for seconds.(note: i suggest water, if drinking milk make it skim milk)



5) Weight in pounds multipled by 15 will equal the number of calories per day

to maintain that weight. 500 calories less per day will result in approx 1 lb

weight loss per week; 750 calories = 1 1/2 lbs per week; 1000 calories = 2 lbs

per week. Keep a daily diary of calorie intake. Fat, carbohydrates and protein

will automaticly adjust themselves to stay within alloted calories per day.

6) Keep healthy foods handy like fruit or vegetables in the fridge. Eat only

if hungry.



7) Keep a diary of your eating and your feelings, far away from the kitchen.

Document everything that you eat before you eat it. Describe how you feel

health wise as you progress. Describe how you feel when you cheat your self.



8) Soups are a great meal, they are filling, tasty, and healthy. *Soups may

be a good and filling meal, but healthy is debatable. Just look at the amount

of sodium in the most popular brands. Even the low sodium brands have more

in them than most other types of meals (with half the taste).



9) Never starve yourself, especially before going out to eat (or you will

binge). Never skip meals, you must have some kind of nourishment regularly

or your body's starvation defenses will kick in,lower your metabolism, and

store fat. Use nutritional meal replacements instead of skipping or eating

very low calorie meals.



10) Don't think that just because you are eating low fat/low calorie foods

that you can eat all that you want. The calories still add up and must be

burned off regardless of what kind of food you eat. Balance is key.


Also you might want to consider by starting an activity like yoga or pilates or something active you have to have the inative to lose weight the healthy way.
