Lose 30 pounds?

Question

I want to lose 30 pounds by July. What can I do??!!!

Answer 1

As a physician that has a specialization in weight loss and in performance for athletes, its possible to lose weight and look and feel better if you make a true LIFESTYLE CHANGE . I wouldnt focus on how many pounds but how you look and feel. It may not be realistic to lose 30 lbs in 45 days but you can make a great start on feeling and looking better.

1. First , you must eat often. 5-6 times a day AND IT HAS TO BE A NUTRITIOUS DIET NOT JUNK. you want to gain muscle and lose fat . Starvation does not work in a healthy manner , your body simply slows down your metabolism. Bodies that are well fed mobilize fats for energy and build healthy lean muscle.
Bodies that are starved 12 hours a day simply tend to STORE the next meal they do get because it doesnt know when the next meal is coming. Its evolution in action.
Another way to look at it.You can't build a temple out of mud right? Three sensible meals with 2-3 supplemental meals.(see #2 below) So NO refined sugars( no pop candies cookies etc) minimal refined grains like white bread and white pasta and white rice. If its white its not right. (whole grains in bread and pastas etc) whole grains have much higher fiber content, greater vitamin content and digest slower to blunt the carbohydrate release into the bloodstream.
Protein is essential. Lean meats, especially chicken breast, turkey breast. and fish, baked or steamed not fried. Extra meals should be high protein low carb low fat such as a protein shake. (there are many on the market that are not too expensive) Vegetables should be consumed at least 5 times a day. Water should be consumed aggressively 6-10 glasses a day.
Bodybuilders that are trying to gain weight use whey protein shakes in bewtween meals to provide muscles with the building blocks they need to GROW!! You have the same goal as they do: FAT loss and LEAN mass gain So these are very helpful. They are not expensive. I get my whey protein powder at Sams Club for 22 dollars for 6 pounds. thats enough for 3-4 month at least. You can add fruit to it and blend it to make it a tastier. I also add my vitamin supplements to those shakes.

2. RESISTANCE TRAINING is KEY!! The mistake that many folks who are trying to lose weight is to do all cardio and no weight training. it should be at least 30-50% weight training. that means WEIGHTS or sit ups, pull ups ,chin ups, and dips. Muscles only grow when they are pushed near thier maximum ability. So hit a weight room, get a buddy to help you. You might have to start at lower weights but hey they all started there. You do this for YOU and not for anyone else.

Go to the library and get an excellent book like BODY FOR LIFE by BILL MILLER. He lays it all out for you in a motivational and educational way. Go out get motivated, educate yourself and no whining because only you have the power to obtain your goals YOU CAN DO IT!!

You have to make real lifestyle change and truly eat better and exercise. I know you can do it!!!! any other questions? email me at [e-mail]

Answer 2

if losing some pounds of any description and inches is what you want then I would suggest you use a diet that is all natural and is rich in protein and vitamins, which is what the FDA recommends. Get in touch with the nutrition guy that I used and you will get what you want. I used a protein based diet after a friend who had lost a lot of weight with this recommended it to me. All the way through you feel great and energized, you also get great coaching and support along the way. The people are very friendly and gave me lots of great advice. I needed to lose 40 pounds and I did so with no problems. The products really work and you feel great whilst losing weight. I lost all my weight in less than four months and they have helped me to keep it off. I would definitely recommend using them. My sister did this also and lost 76 pounds in five months (She works out, I don’t). There is no pressure and they will even send you a load of free samples so you can try before you buy. The samples were the thing that initially convinced me that this was the right diet for me. You also a get a free complete health consultation with the samples, I just paid the postage and handling, but for what I got it was well worth it. You just go to www.myhealthabc.com to register your details to get the free samples and the free advice etc and then they just call you up and ask you a few questions. It was so easy. Their main site is www.myhealthabcmall.com and you can see all the products and packages and order from their. Its nice to have contact with real people who care about you losing weight and improving your health. I am in better health now than I have ever been thanks to these products and I know that I will continue to keep the weight off with the help I have received. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Depending on how much you way and how much body fat you have will determine if you can even lose 30lbs. It is a lot of weight to lose in a month and a half, but the best thing you can do is cut your calories, but eat 5-6 small portion meals a day. This will help keep your metabolism firing all day long and allow you to burn more calories. One hour a day of exercise is not really enough in my opinion. The reason I say this is because people generally do not keep there heart rate up long enough to maximize the amount of calories you can burn in an hour. You should do some interval training that includes both aerobic and anaerobic (weight lifting). If you can workout 7 days a week, do it. You can also try some supplements that will help with energy and motivation.

Hope this helps!

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.
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, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 5

Depending on your weight it's only safe to lose 1-2 lbs and week. If you lose more than that you will more than likely regain it. Decrease your calories. (eat a lot of lean meat and veggies) Increase your excerise to about an hour a day. Try to increase the intensity. Increasing your heart rate will help burn more calories. Good luck

Answer 6

Wow, sorry but my first thing to tell you is to be more realistic or else you will be seriously disappointed... however, if you really are serious about this goal you should adopt a meal plan with about 1200 cals, drink lots of green tea, and eat high protein, low fat, low carb meals. Also 45- 60 mins of aerobic exercise daily. ohh and dont forget to drink plenty water.Good luck!
