Your BMI is 22.3, well within the safe range. You could do abdominal exercises to firm up the muscles around your middle, and you could use the principles in the Volumetrics Eating Plan to cut back a little on your calorie intake, but don't go beyond the ten pound loss target. Consumer Reports recently rated the Volumetrics Eating Plan as the best approach to weight-loss dieting. Simply put, for each food you look up or calculate the caloric density by dividing the number of calories in a serving by the weight of the serving. Then you focus your attention on eating more low-density foods than high-density ones. They fill you up sooner, so your calorie intake drops, and you lose weight. You can continue the plan indefinitely (after you get to your desired weight, just add a few high density foods to maintain it), so this diet has a good chance to keep you at your desired weight once you get there. There is a book available, "The Volumetrics Eating Plan", published this year. As for the friends issue, to keep a friend you have to be a friend. Make a list of the people you know and rate them in terms of how you feel about their friendship. What do they do for you, both in terms of actual behavior and in terms of how you feel when you're with them. Pick the top three, and focus on their friendship - take some initiative in offering help when appropriate, suggesting you go for a coffee or soft drink or to some other place (keep it Dutch treat), show interest in what they think about things or what they like to do when they're bored, their hobbies, etc. Just be casual about it, don't overdo it. Good friendship is a give-and-take relationship, so monitor situations so that you aren't doing all the giving or all the taking - keep it balanced.

Forget about spot reducing a certain body part. It doesn’t work. A body part is too big because that is part of your body where you tend to store excess body fat. Resistance exercising will not decrease fat in an area … it will only build the muscle that sits under the fat. It is totally impossible to change fat into muscle. They are two separate tissues.

If you want to make a body part smaller then you have to decrease the amount of body fat stored at that area. To decrease body fat you need to do two things. One: change your diet; eating a healthier diet so that the amount of calories you take in each day is less than the amount of calories you burn each day during activities. And two: increase the amount of calories you are burning each day by increasing your cardiovascular exercise. Also, doing weight training exercises will help you build some muscle mass, which will help increase your resting metabolic rate, so you will burn more calories on a daily basis.

Men tend to put weight around the chest & waist as women tend to pack it on the upper thighs and butt. No amount of running is going to get rid of that tire. You need to start doing excercises that target that area such as sit ups, crunches etc.; your local gym could get you started in the right direction. Don't get me wrong.. running will burn some carbs & fat and will do wonders for your cardio (very important) but nothing burns fat better than weight training. I know we all look for the magic pill that will melt fat away, but as yet it hasn't been invented. Nor are fad diets a permanent fix. Sorry guy, but it boils down to a combination of what we eat and how active we are... in other words "a healthy life style." Take a hard look at what you're eating on a daily basis. How many carbs and sugars are you consuming? Just because it says "fat free" doesn't mean it's good for you. Believe it or not, fat is essential to life; especially healthy fats such as the polys (found in nuts) and monos (olive oil) and even saturated fats are important in small amounts. Take stock of what you're eating...donuts, ice cream, sugared cereals. Start reading package labels..if you can't pronounce it then it's probably not good. Watch out for the "no tran fats" we're seeing on everything. It's great that they are taking them out but what are they replacing it with? Raising your protein intake and lowering your carbs, sugars & salts is a good start. It won't be easy (get a workout buddy) but then..nothing worth doing is; right?

Answer 5

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta 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:)
