I would love to change your short-term solution outlook on health and fitness. I challenge you to make a lifestyle change that incorporates a proper nutrition plan and exercise routine that will not only slim you down, but provide you with tons of energy, enhance your self-esteem, and prolong your life.

The secret is acknowledging the true purpose of food as fuel rather than entertainment. Focus on protein, fats, and carbohydrates and learn about each of them. A little bit of research online will teach you a lot. Remember, don't diet; change your eating lifestyle. Doing so will change your life for the better. For the exercise, consider it a priority to include it into your routine.

Anyway, if you want it simple, here it is in ten steps:
1. protein is good...eat plenty (about 30% of your caloric intake)
2. fats are good and bad...know the difference
3. saturated and trans fats are the bad ones - limit these
4. poly- and mono-unsaturated fats are good - don't be afraid of them
5. carbohydrates are good and bad...know the difference
6. fibers and complex carbs are the good ones - eat these (about 40% of your caloric intake)
7. sugars and simple carbs are the bad ones - limit these, particularly late in the day (stay away from sodas and chips!)
8. drink water - lots and lots and lots of water. It's the only drink you need. Anything else is either wasted or simply bad for you
9. Eat 4-6 "meals" a day to boost your metabolism.
10. A meal is defined as a portion of a low-fat, protein rich entree, a portion of veggies for vits/mins, and a portion of complex carbs. (You can get these combined as a health shake)

For exercise, it's even simpler:
1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.

Answer 2

I’m a 5’7” female. I was 235+ lbs when I decided to lose weight. I ate a small bowl of cereals in the morning with skim milk/ low fat milk, worked out in the gym for about 2 hours (treadmill 20 min, bike 20 mins, tone up about 50 mins w/ some rests), eat heavy and filling lunch (but not more than 700 calories), have a fruit snack afternoon. When I do 20 more minutes of walking at night, I eat a wheat bread sandwich at night or some watery fruit, like cantaloupe or melons. I was losing 3-5 lbs a week, seriously. After 2 ½ yrs I’m now 158 lbs, but with more food & more variety (looove chocolates & ice cream). Although if you start as heavy already, there is not much difference in the way you look if it’s only a few weeks of working out & watching what you eat. Give it about 3 months. Check out www.calorie-count.com. Go to Tools, and Allowance. You can get there how many calories you should be eating. Personally, if you want to lose fast, 800 to 1200. Not 500. You don’t want hair fall, do you?

Hope for your success. Trust good ole exercise :)

You will need closer to a month for that to happen.

Cut junk food, increase water intake, more raw vegetables and an exercise program of at least 30 minutes a day five days a week and reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories a day

Answer 4
