Any weight-losing tips?

Answer 1

Diet and Exercise, always...

Diet tips -- http://www.jigsawhealth.com/articles/obesity-dietary.html
* Eat more fiber. Fiber gives you a satiated feeling, helping you to curb food cravings. It also keeps your colon healthy, and aids in proper digestion. Research has shown that obesity puts you at higher risk for colorectal cancer, primarily due to a low-fiber, high-calorie, processed food diet. Incorporate ground flax seed in smoothies, soups, and favorite cereals to increase your fiber intake.
* Skip the low-fat food products. Most of the low-fat, processed foods in grocery stores are typically high-carb foods that are loaded with sugar, salt, artificial sweeteners, and synthetic fat substitutes. Many of these ingredients cause weight gain, rather than reduce it. Read more about food ingredients.
* Add virgin coconut oil to your diet. The natural saturated fat in virgin coconut oil can help stabilize blood sugar levels, facilitate proper thyroid function, and aid in weight loss.
* Eat more vegetables and fruits. Not only are they a good source of fiber, but they contain many naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and amino acids necessary for maintaining optimal health and weight. Watch out for fruit juices, they often contain added sugars that can increase your calorie intake dramatically. Opt for water, or diluted fruit juice (three quarters water and one quarter juice).
* Don’t skip breakfast. Fasting activates the starvation response, slowing your metabolism and increasing the chances that excess fat will be stored to fuel your nutrient-depleted body. Studies now show that women who eat cereal for breakfast maintained their weight better than those who skipped breakfast. The plus of whole grain cereal is that it is a low-calorie, fiber-rich food.3 Obese people tend to lack necessary fiber in their diets.
* Eat frequent meals. Eating five to six small meals throughout the day helps to speed up your metabolism. On the other hand, eating large meals only once or twice a day will actually slow down your metabolism.

Other dietary recommendations:

* Choose high-quality, organic, hormone- and antibiotic-free “grass-fed” meats.
* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting wild-caught salmon, minimal-mercury tuna, and fish oil.
* Choose organic, cage-free eggs.
* Choose unpasteurized, raw dairy items that have live, active cultures (probiotics), such as yogurt and kefir.
* Choose sprouted foods such as sprouted whole-grain bread and sprouted nuts and seeds. Read more about the importance of sprouting nuts.
* Drink plenty of purified water throughout the day. Chronic dehydration can slow down metabolism.

Answer 2

Eat a wide variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein (fish is an excellent source) and good oil (extra virgin olive oil). Never ever never deprive yourself, but instead add healthy altnernatives. What are your hobbies? Do you like to be outdoors? Have you always wanted to try an activity? Now is the time. If you want to try Karate do it. No one says exercise has to be running laps on a track. Find a fun workout that you'll be sure to continue. Start swimming now that it is warm out. Try different things and see what you like. You'll loose weight without even knowing it. Remember, diets are evil. Diets make people obsess about the food they aren't getting and the exercise that generally accompanies the diets is often too strainious to continue past a few weeks. Avoid the diet, eat the right foods and have fun! :-)

Answer 3

Most weight loss programs help you lose weight, however, once you get off the program you will gain your weight back, or more (guaranteed). The key is to change your eating habit and work out on a regular basis. If you not willing to do that you will never succeed. Good luck.

Answer 4

Sadly there aren't any miracle fixes, all you can do is change the way you eat, fat free, broiled meats, no frying etc. Cut down on fats as much as possible, drink lots of water, Green tea (diet) is excellent too, There is a new drink out called Enviga, it's a green tea type drink that helps burn calories. Exercise, take vitamins....just a whole new lifestyle really

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.
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:)
