what is the best way to lose weight?

Question

i just had twins 7 weeks ago and need to lose 40 pounds and having 3 kids makes it impossible

Answer 1

Nothing is impossible! Where there is a will there is always a way.I've had twins too and have time to exercise.When the weather is good put them in one of those double carriages and walk, walk and power walk your weight off. I would also recommend Leslie Sansone's in home walking dvds there are great, easy to follow and a great way to walk your weight off in your own home.Good Luck

Answer 2

My favorite diet?

"Put down the fork. Don't rip open potato chip bags. Stop picking at the croutons and eat the salad. Drink sports drinks such as Propel to keep up electrolytes. Go for a walk. (Bad weather isn't an excuse: walk around the supermarket fifty times (you can push the kids in one of those neat wagons)."

I honestly have a hard battle without having three kids. You'll be fine just remember not to pop the leftovers from their meals into your mouth. Take time to make a nutritious meal for yourself and eat it while the kids are taking a nap.

Best wishes and congratulations on the twins.

Hang in there the weight will come off in time.

Answer 3

Here are some simple tips to help you loose weight. Firstly learn about food. Learn about what you like. Learn your tastes. Experiment with a variety of food types. Loosing weight is not a chore however it can be an education.

Drink more water; preferably drink it before you eat. Introduce more greens into your diet. Try and eat fruit first before other foods. A smoothie in the morning can work wonders. Try and introduce more raw vegetables into your weekly menu. Do some research on food and play with different types to see what you like.


Based on your observations create a menu for each week of the month. This way you vary your food throughout the month and then just rotate for the following month. Always be on the look out for new variations and tastes to introduce to your monthly diet. You do not have to starve yourself. What you need to do is eat more of the right foods.

Substitute the poor quality foods with better quality foods. Do not force your self to eat foods that you do not like in order to loose weight. There are plenty of food types. There is bound to be ones that you like. All you have to is find them.

Answer 4

Exercise, exercise, exercise. Eat small portions of good food. Limit excess fat and carbs. Eat a well rounded diet. Just don't eat to excess. Eat six small meals per day instead of three large ones. Also, if you are breast feeding....NOW is the time to work on your fanny and upper legs. The reason women have trouble with this area if because the fat stored there is put there, by the body, as a reserve for future breast feeding. Once you are done breast feeding it is almost impossible to mobilize that particular kind of fat. So, like I said, if you are br. feeding the twins.....now is the time to walk, run, bike, and do leg exercises.

Answer 5

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Answer 6
