Question

any ideas or suggestions?

I excersise 1-3 times a week and I hardly drink soda.

Answer 1

It depends on how many calories you expend. One pound of fat provides 3500 calories of energy. So, to lose 3 pounds per week, you would need to burn, each day, 1500 calories more than you consume.

Diet alone won't cut it. You will need to exercise...a lot.

Answer 2

I've tried many diets and couldn't make anything work. Since having my first child, I've been carrying around an extra 30 pounds. This diet just made sense and showed me that everything I was doing before was wrong and a waste of my time.

The plan was so refreshing and so simple to follow. I did everything plan said and lost 23 pounds in the first three weeks. I'm now starting the diet again to lose 7 more pounds. This plan has changed my life.

Counting calories has made America the fattest society ever. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.

Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).

You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of super healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.

Answer 5

I've been told that accumulating 3600 calories will cause you to gain one pound. So you'll want to burn 3600 more calories than you consume for every pound you want to lose.

Answer 6

Around 1400, that may not seem like very much but I think you'll be surprised how much you can eat if you choose wisely.

Answer 7

just stop eating junk food, and exercise.
