Answer 1

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.

It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.

Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk.

Good LUCK!

Answer 2

If you lose weight the wrong way you will lose muscle, not just fat. If you eat slightly less than you do now, and exercise slightly more, you will definitely lose weight. If you drink soda and eat sweets, try cutting those out. And at meals, stop eating before you feel totally full. If you go to a gym, just walking on a treadmill would do a lot of good. You don't need to do a lot of sweating. Slower weight loss is more lasting. Lose weight fast and it won't stay off.

that is not lots approximately energy because it particularly is what you're eating. you may consume one thousand energy an afternoon of cheeseburgers and not shed some pounds, or 2000 cals of fruit and veg and shed some pounds. Load up on sturdy meals and shop exercising, and drink numerous water.
