Any healthy weight loss tips?

Question

I'm 11 5'0 and 140 lbs! I'm need HELP!

Answer 1

1. Set aside ten weeks before the date the weight needs to be off. Doctors have said that weight loss of more than 2-3 pounds a week (or 500g per week in metrics) is hazardous to your health.
2. Cut out fast food meals, super-sized anything won't help you lose those vanity pounds
3. replace high fat foods with veggies, whole grains, and fruits.
4. If you're eating meat, the average portion size is 3 oz. which is roughly the size of your fist, so any more than that and you'll gain weight, not lose it. Cut the fatty bits, not matter how tasty it really is.
5. drink lots of water. This will not only trick your mind into thinking your not hungry, but it will clean out your system and help you lose water weight. 5-15 lbs of your body weight is water weight and its the easiest to shed in the least amount of time. However, fad diets do feed on this false sense of achievement. If you do want to lose weight long term, there's almost impossible to lose that much weight over a month.
6. remember to work out for at least a hour, three times a week, but no more than five times. Your body needs a rest every once an a while. NEVER work out too intensely, either. If you go faster than a jog, you can't burn fat efficiently.
7. Stay away from salts and sugars.

I found the book to be very informative and easy to read.

I've lost 17 pounds in 12 days, I'm just concerned that I'm losing too much weight, too quickly. I will admit I haven't followed the guide exactly. I'm not sticking perfectly to the listed foods and meal plans (but mostly) and doing very little exercise, but the weight keeps flying off.

It clearly works and if I'd followed it exactly I think it would scare the living daylights out of me because of the amount that I'd lose. So thanks again for the information. I've never purchased anything like this before because they are usually full of trash, but 3WD has been a pleasant surprise.

1) Drink plenty of water
2) Walk at least 5 days a week, try to include stairs/and or hills if possible
3) Eat from every food group every day, heavy on the fruits and vegetable
4) Try to eat as much fresh and unprocessed foods as much as possible
5) Look at it as a healthy lifestyle change rather than just a diet
6) Try to find a friend or family member to join you. Having a support buddy helps a lot!

Good for you and I wish you the best!

Eating a balanced, healthy diet every day. Small portions of fish and lean meat; lots of fruit and veggies; very little potatoes/rice/pasta/starch, no fast food, no fried food, very little sugar or fat, NO SODA

Drink your 8 glasses of water per day, make sure to exercise--and walk, don't ride, whenever possible.

start slow with steps that are healthy and manageable. You need to consider nutrition, exercise, and stress..don't jump head first into some fad diet...focus on maintainable lifestyle changes. if stress is resulting in poor eating habits and exercise choices, remember to get to the root of the problem with healthy stress reducing practices too. as for nutrition, choose healthy, wholesome foods. place no foods "off limits" or your brain will crave them, leading you to go off track and get discouraged. moderation and variety. start slow and easy with exercise. don't tell yourself "i'm gonna run 3 miles today!" your first day out if you haven't been preparing for that. start with something like walking 20 minutes a day and building up from there. remember to make it fun, take an ipod along, use it as a refreshing time. lastly, i recommend recruiting a friend or accountability buddy (make this more fun and easier to stick to) and tracking your efforts or progress in a journal. journals can be a great reflection tool to help keep you on track. don't beat yourself up if you go off course, steer back on slowly and it will be okay. look at WEEKLY progress...blowing one day doesn't have to mess up your whole week :) good luck as you strive to take this positive step for your life!~ i'm proud of your efforts and you will enjoy lasting benefits. :)

go through your entire house and get rid of all the junk! do this a week before you decide to diet. Look into doing atkins. Talk to parents and ask them to take you to the doctor before you start any diet. Before i had my son, i lost over 50 lbs safely!Its also the best i've ever felt in my life. You dont have to purchase the foods from atkins either. You can make your own foods so it is cheaper.

Answer 9

Bee Pollen I lost 60 pounds over a year ago and it has stayed off no more cravings either, it worked for me after trying so many products and diets and just breaking down because nothing worked, then my mom turned me on to it and it worked. you can read more about it at www.beeroyalproducts.com great research pages and ask questions on line to its not expensive either.

Answer 10

Cut out soda and other caffeine products.

Drink plenty of COLD water! Did you know that drinking COLD water can actually help you lose weight? When you drink COLD water, your body has to heat it up to body temperature, and that burns calories! So, drinking COLD water actually helps you lose weight even before you exercise!
