Just need to lose 10 lbs but in certain places?

Question

I have been exercising about 20 minutes a day and cutting a lot of my carbs like pop out of my diet for the past week and there's no differance. I would mostly just like to get rid of my love handles and i got a little tummy, i only weight 130 but it's big to me, i'm used to 118-120. any suggestions on quickly loosing weight in the right places? what would be some great exercises for loosing love handles and tummy?

Answer 1

It's true that you cannot reduce fat in specific areas. But your body has its own roadmap of where it likes to store fat. Your roadmap says "put it around the middle". That's actually quite a common place for fat storage. When you reduce fat, it goes away from where it is, not from where it ain't. This means it will seem to reduce from exactly where it is most heavily stored.

Both diet and exercise have an effect on fat reduction. If you eat less fat, you'll not have so much extra to store. If you exercise to an aerobic level more often, you will burn more calories in general and more fat in particular.

Those low-carb diets are no different from other "miracle" diets. They just give you a plan to eat things you're not accustomed to eating. This can make you feel less inclined to eat a lot because your routine has been disrupted. But some people don't get disrupted and they eat the same number of calories as before the diet. This sounds like you. Also, low-carb means high-fat and high-protein. Excess protein is not easily stored by your body and it can lead to colon cancer.

In fact, we need a lot of carbs to give us the energy to exercise. If you reduce your carbs you may feel too tired to do enough exercise. Those first 20 minutes are just a warmup. You should do at least 30 minutes at each excercise session and your breathing should be quite heavy. It's better to exercise 40 minutes every other day than 20 minutes each day. Find more ways to exercise. Walk 20 minutes when you could drive 10 minutes.

Lifting weights will do almost nothing to loose fat although it can build your muscles. Running, swimming and climbing stairs will do quite a lot. Even walking fast is better than sitting on the couch.

Try to follow a healthy diet instead of a fad diet. A good example is the American Heart Association food pyramid. Foods that are bad for health are usually also the types that lead to excess calories and fat such as fatty meat, sodas and other sweet drinks (including fruit juice), sweetened coffee, milk, ice cream, candy, cake, pie, doughnuts, salad dressings, butter and fried foods. Keep a lot of celery and carrots around. Eat slices raw for a snack. Eat an apple a day and maybe a banana also. You'll have less room for unhealthful foods.

Don't worry so much about "quickly loosing weight". Stick with a good routine and you'll reach your goal in a couple of months. That's soon enough.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc…. Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc….YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

Just like you don't get to choose where the fat goes on, you don't get to choose where it comes off, short of liposuction.

Fat is stored calories/food/fuel. Burn more calories than your take in, the body uses up the fat.

Bravo on losing the pop, and the exercise, although 20 minutes isn't really enough to do anything.

One week is way too soon for any noticeable effects of diet or exercise.
