A fitness question for the ladies!!?

Question

I am trying to loose my after baby fat. Does the pill made for women called Slim Quick work? Has any woman here tried this, and how did it work for those of you that tried it?

Answer 1

stay away form all deit pills they are a waste of money and time.

just drink more water, no fast food, no slaty snacks, more friut, and walk more

Answer 2

I have had a baby too. Well he is a toddler now but I want to tell you that pills don't do anything.. expecially get rid of excess skin and tummy flab. You are going to need 1 of two things.. either hard core workouts to target areas that bother you, or surgery to get rid of the excess skin. The weight will come off once you start being more active and make better eating choices. I was 210lbs when I had my son and I'm under 140 now.

Answer 3

I tried it and it did not work for me. I can tell you what did though. I did the juicer diet. With veggies and fruits and no red meat just fish, chicken and turkey. If you exercise at least 25 to 45 minutes every other day you will loose weight. I lost 15 lbs in 12wks. Oh and drink lots of water.

Answer 4

first of all do it naturally, run 2-3 miles a day or if thats too hard cuz you probably have kids take ten thousand steps a day around the park ,city ,block oh and lay of the junk food no fast food either go on a healthy diet that supplies you with just enough energy without all the fat

How quick do you want to lose it and how low do you want your bodyfat?

If you want a visisble 6-pack in a month follow this:

The absolute quickest way would be to cut all carbs, eating only egg whites, salmon/tuna, chicken breast, and lots of leafy greens to help you feel full. Keep calories at about 1500, divided into 6-7 small meals. You'll also have to drink large amounts of water, 128oz + a day (your urine should look like water). You'll also need 8 hrs of sleep a night. A multi-vitamin and vitamin C to help keep your immune system up, as a very restrictive diet limits the vitamins and mineral you take in. Your also going to want to lift weights to help you maintain muscle mass as your going to lose a lot of it. You cannot lose fat without losing muscle and the quicker you lose the more muscle you lose. Make sure you take a whey protein shake with water before/during and right after you set your last dumbbell down.

This is basically how a bodybuilder cuts for a competition (though with a little less care for muscle loss).

A more viable approach is:

The first things you want to eliminate from what you eat are: sugar, fried foods, and white flour. You want to eat as natural and unprocessed food as possible.

Sugar, anything with it is bad. From Coco-Crispies cereal, nearly all sodas, to a small bag a M&M's. All turn into body fat fairly quickly.

Fried foods. Chips, french fries, etc. All have very high levels of calories and fats. Cut out mayonaisse and butter while you're at it.

White flour. White breads, spahgetti, Ramen noodles, most cereals, tortillas (corn & flour).

You're going to want to eat 5-7 small meals/snacks in a day. That may seem like a lot of eating, but look at it this way. Say your lost in the woods and you need to make a fire that will last all night. Will the fire last longer throwing all the wood you've collected into the fire once or twice during the night, or if you toss a couple of logs in once every 45 minutes-hour?

Your body is pretty similar. You need to feed it a little bit every 2-3 hours to keep it burning fat. The longer you go in between meals, the more likely your body is going to store what you eat as fat. This is because your body doesn't realize that there is food everywhere in the world we live in. It still thinks your a cave-man. And cave-men didn't get to eat very often. Sometimes once every 3-5 days...starving. So our body is designed to store what we eat as fat, because fat has the most energy (calories) per pound. So, if you sleep all night, then skip breakfast and don't eat until lunch at say 11:30am...you probably haven't ate anything in 12+ hours. So, your body thinks your starving, that there is no food to eat. Then you eat a nice, greasy, calorie-loaded slice of pizza. Your body will then store most of it as fat because it thinks there is a food shortage.

Aim for 250-300 calories at each meal/snack.
Also try to eat 20-30 grams of protein at each meal. And of course, your going to want to keep even healthy carbs to a minimum (less than 80 grams a day).

The healthiest carbs are:
Yams
Oatmeal (no sugar)
Sweet Potatoes
Brown Rice

OK carbs are:
Whole-grain bread/buns/tortillas (whole-grain should be the first name on the ingredients list)
Fruits

Aside from the carbs listed above, your meals should consist of:
Chicken breast
Turkey breast
Tuna
Salmon
Egg whites
Almonds
Low-fat cheese (cottage, string cheese)
Lots of vegtables
Lots of water

You need to drink 1 gallon (128oz)minimum per day. Water is what carries the toxins and fat you burn off out of your body through your urine. It also helps keep you feeling full and does wonders for your skin. If your urine isn't clear like water, drink more.

Also, take a multi-vitamin (like Centrum).

If you were to do cardio like ride a bike or jog for 20-45 minutes everyday AND diet, you'll be several sizes smaller in no time. But remember, losing weight is 90% about what you eat, not how much you exercise.

Bodybuilders and fitness models basically eat this way. Not only is it low calorie, low carb, high in protein and natural...it controls your blood/sugar levels and how your body uses the food based on the glycemic index.

And have 1 cheat meal a week. Gorge yourself on a couple burgers, pizza, or french fries...it doesn't matter. It will taste better than it EVER has and also give your mind and body a break.
