Answer 1

The first key to weighloss is to stop stressing so much over it. When you stress about your weight, it makes you eat more (especially since you are alreading thinking about food and weight). Studies have proven that if you want to burn fat, believe it or not, the best exercise is to do 2 x 20 minute walks per day (and not fast ones either, if you walk too fast you stop burning fat). I was going to the gym 3 hours a day going full on, and it did nothing. When I started doing the walks it fell off. Fill up on good food (which makes you feel more satisfied), lots of veges, and some fruit everyday as well as healthy cereals, (not coco pops: think museli, granola etc), 2 pieces of bread per day (multigrain or oat bread - white bread won't keep you feeling full). People who eat dairy products are slimmer than those who don't (i don't mean ice cream: eat natural yogurt, drink milk and have low fat cheese). Stop eating crisps, fries, burgers, chocolate, butter, lollies, pop, and too much juice. These foods actually make you crave more food. Drink 8-12 glasses of water a day. (Think of how many calories there are in flavoued drinks - and u need to drink more to feel satisfied, so keep up the h2o and try herbal tea for a flavoured drink). Never eat until you are full. The Japanese say to eat until you are only 70% full. It's a great principle for not overeating. Don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day, just get back on the wagon. Keep telling yourself how each day you feel better and how this change in lifestyle will improve your quality of life in so many ways. You can do it. Just remember, don't think "I'll start tomorrow" and have one last full binge. Every bite counts. Just start right now. I know you can do this.

Answer 2

First of all, you must have the determination and patience to do it. Never do a crash diet - won't work. The secret is to never starve yourself but not overeat. The 3-hour diet worked for me. You need to eat every 3 hours but total calorie intake must be between 1500 to 2000 calories only. Maximum soda per week = 3 cans. Always take the stairs. Walk. And drink 2 glasses of water before every meal or snack. Cut your portion size in half. Don't eat the same stuff everyday. Fruits, soups (not creamy), salads and vinaigrette - no creamy dressings. Fish. Water. 1 scoop of ice cream every other day max. I didn't exercise until my weight dropped to 145lbs. lost 20 lbs. in 3 months. But if you can do at least build some bicep muscle with weights for your arms, 10 lbs. or 15 lbs. 10+ repetitions, you'll lose weight faster. Muscle burns calories twice as fast and burns calories even resting. So build up some muscle if you want to burn cals faster. Water not juice. Juice in morning only. Don't go below 1500 calories/day and not above 2200. You can eat anything in small portions. Never deprive yourself. I always had ice cream or choco cake but 1 scoop or a small slice only every day. Read the book if you want. When nothing is forbidden to eat, but controlled portions only, things are a lot easier. Easier, but you still need will power to cut your portions. If you still can't manage this even when nothing is forbidden to eat, get mental help or a diet buddy.

Answer 3

I think that you should try a restricted weight loss diet and work out a whole lot. I know you dont like to work out but it is the best way to get in shape. If you try hard and stick to your goal you can lose weight

Answer 4

1. Change your eating habits (i.e. start eating smaller portions of food) before if you ate a full plate of food try eating 2/3 of a plate instead.
2.
o Substitute aspartame for sugar
o Try eating 3 or 4 smaller meals during the day rather than 2 large ones
o Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content
o Don't eat heavy meals late in the evening as the body wont have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body.
o Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins
o Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glasses of water per 24 hours
o Drink alcohol in moderation
o Stop smoking if you smoke or cut down
o Eat more fibre i.e. pulses grains nuts, pasta, brown rice, cereals, fresh fruit
o Eat more vegetables as part of your diet
o Eat less dairy products or choose those with less fat content i.e. cottage cheese
o Try steaming or poaching food instead of frying it, frying adds calories by the bucketful
o Cut down on Red meat and eat more lean or better still chicken and fish instead
o Use low fat oils in cooking i.e. sunflower, corn or Mazola
o Cut down on your salt intake, there are hidden salts even in tinned foods
o Try substituting carrots or fresh fruit instead of biscuits and sweetmeat when you have a craving for something in between meals.
o Drink semi or skimmed milk as opposed to full cream
Simply choose a diet which is low in fat and cholesterol, moderate in sugar and salt and high in fibre but at the same time has a variety of everything thus making it a balanced diet.

Calculate your BMR!!!!
BMR means Basal Metabolic Rate.It is used to estimate how many calories you should consume.By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your BMR.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function.Then, to lose weight, you'll need to cut calories or burn extra calories and shoot for a level lower than the results you get with this formula.
We use about 60 percent of the calories we consume each day for basic bodily functions such as breathing.Other factors that influence your BMR are height, weight, age and sex.
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
• Women: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
• Men: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
• If you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
• If you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
• If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
• If you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
• If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Create a Calorie Deficit:
In order to lose weight, you must create a calorie deficit. It is easier and healthier to cut back your calorie intake a little bit at a time.
Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound.
If you cut back 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
If you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day you will also lose 1 pound per week.
Ideally, you should do a combination of both, (e.g. cut back 250 calories; burn an extra 250 calories).

Answer 9

Easiest way to lose weight is to cut your calorie intake by eating more on fiber, fruits and vegetables. You'll feel full with fewer calories on them. Fruits, vegetables and fibers are packed with nutrients but less on calories.

Here are Tips to help speed up your metabolism plus help you lose weight. they worked for me =)

1. Fill up on Fiber and Lose Weight Fast

Fill up on Fiber - Foods rich in fiber will make you feel satisfied and help curb your appetite, helping you to lose weight fast and safely - so make sure to pack your diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

2. Boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50% by sipping coffee

Sipping coffee before a meal can supress appetite by 35%, plus boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50%, according to extensive research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The sudy-proven dose : 250 mg of caffeine daily, taken either in supplement form or by sipping to cups of coffee or 4 cups of tea.

3. Lose Weight just by eating Yogurt

Yogurt is a calcium-rich food. Research links calcium with lower cortisol production, and it has been proven that women who increase they're intake lose up to 40% more weight than calcium avoiders.

4. Try this Hunger-Taming Trick

Cut fat and you'll cut cravings. Consuming a high-fat diet may supress your body's natural satiety signals, according to a new study from Pennsylvania State University. Animals who'd been consuming a diet rich in fat ended up eating 40% more of a high-calorie snack than those on
average diets. Keep your fat intake to less than 30% of total calories.

5. Feel full on less food.

Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you'll feel full on less food.The result: You'll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake.

6. Studies suggest people pursuing a healthy weight could lose more weight and burn more fat by including 24 ounces a day of low fat or fat-free milk in their reduced-calorie diet. Instead of 8 ounces or less.

7. Speed fat burn with Cranberries. The ascorbic acid in
cranberrieshelps thin liver bile, making it easier for the organ to emulsify fat so so it can be quickly flushed out of the system rather than stored in cells.

8. Boost your protein intake and lose almost a pound a week without hunger

By boosting your protein intake from the typical 15% of total calories to 30%, you may be able to cut your daily calorie intake by 440-enough to lose almost a pound a week without hunger, according to a recent University of Washigton study. "A high-protein diet appears to fool the brain into thinking you've eaten more than you have," says the study's
lead author, Scott Weigle, M.D., a professor of endocrinology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Stick with lean protein rather than high-fat, artery clogging meat and dairy products.

For breakfast, use low-fat milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. Eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breast.

During my weightloss plan i did'nt exercised at all but i did made some changes with my everyday activities.

Here are some tips i did:

At work:

1. Take a brisk walk at lunch time.
2. Stand up at your feet and stretch every half hour.
3. Walk a little faster.(Imagine you're late at work, that will do.)
4. If you go to work by public transport, get off at an earlier stop
and walk the rest of the way.

At home:

1. Get up to switch TV channels instead of using the remote control.

2. Plan a regular, brisk weekend walk.

More tips to help you keep physically fit.

1. Don't cross one leg over the other. Ensure that your feet are on the floor to keep weight off your thighs.

2. Don't lean forward more than you have to. You may not notice it but your head is fairly heavy.

3. If you're using a computer, position the video display unit of your computer in a way that allows you to hold your head in a comfortable position.

4. Position your desk so that you don't have to keep turning when somebody enters the room.

5. When standing, don't fold your arms, this position tends to make you lean forward.

6. Balance your weight equally on both feet. Don't shift your weight from one foot to another.

And of course...

Tips on exercising safely:

1. Think long-term and get fit gradually.
2. Warm up before exercising. This will lessen the chances of strain and sprain. Have a few bends and stretches and arm swing.
3. Exercise regularly. Three 20-minute sessions are best.
4. Cool down afterwards by walking slowly for a few minutes. If possible, have a warm bath to relax muscles after exercise.
