Answer 1

Tess remember one thing. The 130 lbs average is just that the average. Your program looks good remember to drink lots of water quit drinking sodas(diet or not) eat lots of fresh fuits and veggies and try to eat 5-6 times a day to increase metabolism. Your calorie intake should be about 1500-1800 calories a day. So try to make sure your meals are around 300 calories. For snacking eat carrot sticks (very very low in calories yet very good for you),rice cakes or baked snacks(potato chips, pretzels etc.)Also make sure you eat foods high in dietary fiber. Quit eating white bread and eat multi-grain or whole wheat bread. A good brand of bread is Healthy Life,found at every grocery store.If you follow what I have shown you , you will lose about 1-2 a week.(which is the recommended weekly weight loss)I started doing this back in late January and do not excercise as much as you are and have lost 30 lbs. Yes ,sometimes I have had a little slip but the important thing is to not let it discourage you. Slip ups are ok as long as it is not often. Good luck friend.

Answer 2

The diet plan sounds ok -- but you are going to need more variety, more veggies, and LOTS of water. :) A good dinner instead of the eggs sometimes could be a grilled or broiled chicken breast (or fish filet) with veggies and maybe a small baked potato. There are also some cereals that are very healthy (only low sugar!) for breakfast -- look for fiber as well.

As far as the exercise, 2 hours a day seems like A LOT, unless you are already very athletic and in great "shape." I would start with an hour and see how that goes. Also, 5 or 6 days a week is plenty. :)

Maybe on days that you don't get to the gym, just take a nice walk and maybe do some crunches when you get home.

Good luck, girl! :)

Answer 3

You need more whole foods and less processed foods. If a food that's sitting in front of you isn't in a way that exists in nature you really should not be eating it. Skip the ranch dressing and turkey bacon.

If you want to eat a nut butter, measure with a real tablespoon, 1 tablespoon. 2 tablespoons usually have 16 grams of fat. This fat is a healthy fat but it is still calorie dense. Don't eat regular nut butters. The label should have the world 'natural' on it.

Breakfast:
complex carb:1/2 cup dry oatmeal
Lean protein: 1/2 cup low fat or fat free cottage cheese or 5 egg whites either scrambled in non stick pan or boiled

Snack: small handful of unsalted, raw nuts and one serving of fruit.

Lunch: chicken breast or tuna sandwich. When using mayo, use a reduced fat variety. I use 2 tablespoons of Hellman's reduced fat. 4 total fat grams from this mayo and 40 calories. Spinach salad. You can spray olive oil on the leaves and drizzle vinegar on top. 1/2 tomato.

Snack: You can repeat the first snack or have some cottage cheese with a fruit.

Dinner: a lean protein with tons of veggies like steamed broccoli.

If you are still hungry after dinner, snack on lean protein sources. You can also have fruit or veggies.

Drink plenty of water!!! At least a gallon a day. Water keeps you hydrated, prevents constipation, and flushes out toxins.

For cardio I recommend HIIT. It's harder than regular jogging or walking. Work your way up to this intensity though.

Weight train!!!! Muscles burns fat day and night. A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat. However, a pound of muscle takes up way less space in the body than a pound of fat.

It would be great if your parents will allow you to have a trainer. Just make sure that he or she is certified!!!

Answer 4

My concern is that you have a really strict plan here. If you eat basically the same thing for 3 months you are going to end up downing a carton of Ben&Jerry's, or burning out completely.
Add some variety to your diet plan(egg white omelettes for breakfast, baked potato instead of eggs at dinner, etc) and make sure that you cut yourself some slack with your workout at first. If you go from not really working out to 2 hours a day, you are going to be REALLY sore at first. Maybe start out with 1 hour and work up to 2 hours. And you don't have to workout every day.
The best way to lose weight is to make changes in your life that can be permanent. You don't want to do all this work all summer and then as soon as you reach your goal, you go back to pizza at lunch or whatever and gain weight back.
You have a great, acheivable goal, just go easy on yourself, ok?
Good luck!

Answer 5

Woah woah woah. You are hardly eating enough, & especially all that cardio you are doing... you are going to end up holding on to the fat that you have and/or burning muscle. Eat more! Make sure you eat 5-6 small, balanced meals every 3 hours. No need to do more than an hour of cardio per day. Keep weight training every other day.

Please be careful... I'm not accusing you of anything, but I've seen this way too many times... this could be the beginning of an eating disorder & I don't want to see that! Be healthy! And please be careful!

Answer 6

If you already have a lot of muscle and want to lose inches and tone up, I'd recommend less cardio at the gym and use free weights or machines to tone the muscles you do have. Cardio alone will NOT accomplish this.

Answer 7

I think that no diet is healthy. You just have to eat 6 small meals a day, because this increase your metabolism and help loose fat. The other thing is to eat healthy, low fat, low sugar, low carbo, and to do cardio before you make breakfast, because that way, your body is going to use your fat as an energy to perform your exercise and not your muscle or protein. You have to eat 25g of fiber, because when you eat fiber, you feel full and dont want to eat more, but you have to do it very slow or you would be full of gas. And last but not least, after you have eat your meal, brush your teeth INMEDIATLY.
Good luck

Answer 8

I would work closely with your doctor and a personal trainer ( if you can) just to make sure you're losing the weight safely.
Exercise: looks good, you might want to mix it up too, just so you don't get bored.
( big problem with me)
Diet: The most important thing is that you are eating as much healthy and nutritious food as possible. try to avoid processed foods, since they're just empty calories. i always just feel much better eating fresh, organic food.
Good luck!

Answer 9
