Answer 1

Hey there! Try following these healthy dieting guidelines:
1.) First realize that safe weight loss is losing 1-2lbs. a week.
2.) 1 Pound of fat = 3,500 calories. To lose 1lb., you'll have to cut out (or burn off) 3,500 calories a week. And if you want to lose 2lbs. a week, you'll need to cut out (3,500 x 2) which equals 7,000 calories per week.
3.) Stick with natural foods, non-processed foods...Foods that are high in protein & fiber, low in fat, and low in sugar. *Here are the best (healthy) foods you should eat:
a.) Lean Proteins: Chicken (skinless, non-fried), Turkey, Fish/Tuna, Beans (all kinds), Nuts, Soy foods, Whey, Skim Milk, and Light Yogurt.
b.) HIGH Fiber: Fresh fruit, veggies, and whole grain foods...To see a complete list of all high fiber foods, click here: http://www.slrhc.org/healthinfo/dietaryf...
4.) Drink lots of water: 8 glasses a day
5.) Drink GREEN tea!! Green tea contains disease-fighting antioxidants that help decrease body fat! You can drink it cold or hot.
6.) ALSO really important: EXERCISE! Do cardio DAILY, for an hour a day...Types of cardio: running/jogging, jumping rope, Taebo, kickboxing, swimming, aerobics, step aerobics, and stair climbing...
7.) 2nd part of a recommended exercise program is:
Strength Training...Do 30-45 minutes, 3-4 times a week. Types of these exercises are: Lunges, Squats, weight training, push-ups, crunches, sit-ups, oblique (side ab) exercises, reverse crunches, back leg extensions, hip extensions, and side-lying leg raises. To customize your own workout, see this handy Workout Finder that About.com has...There's nearly EVERY type of exercise/workout you can think of there, including cardio workouts you can do at home...To see the Workout Center, click: http://exercise.about.com/library/blwork...

I observed the booklet to be very informative and handy to learn. I've misplaced 17 kilos in 12 days, I'm simply involved that I'm wasting an excessive amount of weight, too rapidly. I will admit I have not adopted the advisor precisely. I'm no longer sticking flawlessly to the indexed meals and meal plans (however typically) and doing little or no recreation, however the weight maintains flying off. It evidently works and if I'd adopted it precisely I feel it could scare the dwelling daylights out of me since of the volume that I'd lose. So thank you once more for the knowledge. I've by no means bought some thing like this earlier than since they're most of the time stuffed with trash, however 3WD has been a exceptional shock. Get began at present!

Answer 4

There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently.

See site below and learn why meat and non-fat yogurt are so fattening. Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. It also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food.

Answer 5

its not losing weight its toning up. Im 5'8, 165 lbs and perfectly healthy. I also have a "bikini bod" and show it off. For you i would try lifting weights and some cardio. 40 pounds is a lot. dont think about a number think about your body. Its not how much you weigh but if you look healthy in it. Goodluck!

Answer 6

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 300-500cal 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 is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for average of 45min, light weight training a few times a week (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:)
