Answer 1

Eat less and eat healthy.

Answer 2

I understand....I am right there with you. Something that I have found that has seemed to been working for me, is watching my calorie in-take, drinking a lot of water through out the day, and staying away from sugar as much as possible. In the evenings when I get home, regardless of the time, I will do sit-ups, squats and a stretches. This way I am able to have some exercise. I have been doing this for 4 weeks now, and I have lost 16 lbs. Believe me, exercise is important in weight loss, even if it is just a few basics. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Cut your calorie intake. Is is actually the fastest way to lose weight, exercising takes longer if not with diet. Try to take in only like 1200 -1500 calories a day and then maintain at 1800. If you take in less calories then you burn, you will lose weight no matter what and you can do that by exercising or eating less. You do not need to exercise to lose weight, and I am not a liar nor an idiot I only lost over 30 lbs without exercising or starving.

Answer 4

Well exercise is extremely important to lose weight, but you can still lose some weight by dieting very well. You will need to eat 5 small meals a day. Make sure you eat breakfest, it is important for your metabolism. Since you are not exercising, eating will be the most important thing. You have to eat 5 small meals a day in order to speed up your metabolism. Eat breakfest, lunch, and dinner and have 2 snacks. 1 snack in the middle of the day and 1 at night. Make sure your meals are small though and make sure the meals you eat do not contain much fat or sugar. You can eat carbs, just make sure that when it is later at night you do not eat too many. Your last snack/meal of the day should be before you go to bed and it should be all protein, such as tuna (without mayonaise) or a serving of low fat cottage cheese. So basically eat 5 small meals with low sugar and fat and at night try not to eat carbs.

Answer 5

wow. Don't excersie either (ask the dog who only gets walked on occasion and that is my big exercise). But I found a program that allows me to lose weight anyway. It is called ISAGENIX! 5 weeks ago, I started the program and have lost 23 pounds (so far) and down from a size 14 to a 10! I am so excited. I am 55 years old and was feeling like a "slug". Now I have energy and am excited about losing another 20 pounds. This program is guaranteed and is endorsed by doctors, nutritionists, authors, and lots of people just like me. The videos and success stories are amazing. Did I tell you it is guaranteed and safe? Sounds like just what you are looking for. <><

Answer 6

Besides consuming less calories, you can do little things to be more active and that will really help. You can park further away from the door when you go anywhere, take the stairs instead of the elevator, go to the restroom that is furthest away from your office, go for a walk to help relieve stress, etc.

I still think you should exercise, though. It is hard at first, but you can actually see results almost right away. You will have more energy, and your clothes with start fitting looser. Think of something you might be interested in trying, to start off with, and just give it a shot! It's really worth it!

Answer 7

you may have not to excersie at a gym, since your a work a holic,. you can be doing constant work outs throuhout yuor day, such as, when you walk (if you work in buildings) take the stairs instead of the elevator, instead of driving somewere for lunch, simply WALK, and just limit to wat you eat starting from breakfast(Which is most important) to dinner which is lease important. if you consume mainly protien for dinner and lots of good carbs and fruits in the morning you should be ok
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 8

Well you could exercise one day a week like pick a day and exercise. Just eating really healthy food will help too or go on a diet. I will admit it will take longer to lose wieght if you don't exercise.

Answer 9

You can lose weight by going on a diet the only thing is your losing weight but not burning no food off.

Answer 10

controlling weight with out exercise for those that gain weight very easily is just about impossible. after the initial period of weight loss the metabolic rate will slow and your will regain the weight that was lost. if you have the genetic predisposition to be heavy weight management with out exercise will not happen

Answer 11

from experience if you think about losing the weight and wanting to lose it you wont. stop thinking about it and just allow it to happen gradually. if you constantly try to lose weight and obsess about it then its not gonna happen. i tried all kinds of diets and exercise programs and it never helped. but its different for everyone.
