Elliptical Trainer 40 mins a day?

Question

When will i start to see results if i do it 5 times a week. But i don't plan to change my diet much. I eat pretty healthy already and indulge once in a while.

Answer 1

keep a food diary to make sure you don't change your eating habits

you will see results of some type within a week, you'll stand a little straighter, feel a little firmer, maybe even drop a pound by then. you'll really start to see more results the longer you do it.

i have always seen quicker results if I work out in the evening vs. the morning.

Answer 2

Can't answer that question without more information. Doing that much exercise if you don't currently do any exercise at all will help, but unless your diet is in order you won't get the results you want. You say you eat pretty healthy and indulge once in a while -- that's not saying much, especially since there's a ton of misinformation out there about what's healthy and what's not. You could be eating a very healthy diet, then again you could be eating a very unhealthy diet and just not know it. Put it this way: If you're more than 10 pounds heavier than you would like to be, chances are your diet is not in order. Yes, exercise will help, but eating right will help even more.

Here's a quick rundown of the three basic macronutrients and their best sources:

PROTEIN: Definitely the best macronutrient for maintaining muscle and weight loss. Best sources are: Dairy products, eggs, fish, lean cuts of beef and pork, nuts, and poultry. Soy protein is OK for women. Remember that most fats that you get with protein are saturated, so you want lowfat or nonfat dairy products and lean cuts of meat. Eggs are the exception to the rule -- all the fat in eggs is monounsaturated, which is good for you.

CARBOHYDRATES: Don't cut them way down or out because your body needs them (and the nutrients that come from foods high in good carb sources). Best sources are: Beans/legumes, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grain breads/cereals/pasta. Fruit and vegetable juices are not as good, and remember "if it's white, it ain't right" (avoid white potatoes, white rice, white flour, and white sugar as much as possible and go for brown rice, sweet potatoes, and whole wheat or whole grain bread instead).

FAT: Avoid trans fat (partially or fully hydrogenated oils) like the plague, and keep saturated fat (which is found mostly in meats and dairy products) to a minimum. Monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat are good for you. They help your body metabolize vitamins like Vitamin E, they aid in weight loss, and they help keep your cholesterol levels where they need to be. Best sources are: Avocadoes, eggs, fish, fish oil, flax seed, flax seed oil, nuts, and olive oil.

BOTTOM LINE: Adding exercise will help, and you should see noticeable results within 2-4 weeks, but if you tweak your diet at the same time you'll see more noticeable results and you'll reach your goal a lot faster.
