i want to loose weight by december 20. like 40lbs the least but by just working out is it possible?

Question

please people only answer if u truly do know

Answer 1

In order to effectively lose weight one must adjust fat intake, increase fluid intake and maximize caloric burn during exercise. What does this mean? it means that you eat foods with fats you can digest (like milk fats in butter-margarine is more difficult to digest, olive and nut oils - vegetable and canola are denser and again digest slowly), balanced protein intake (lean chicken, fish and red meat or if veg legumes and nuts) , a balance of fresh fruits, vegetables and carbohydrates, for a FREE schedule of the foods to eat to lose weight based on your current weight and activity level go to www.mypyramid.gov. Exercise can be completed in 15-30 minutes depending on the workout you choose and your over all desired look. If you want to bulk up your muscle use strength training - initially you will gain weight , don't panic just keep going and you will lose and then level out - if you wish to look toned try a Pilate's or yoga with a light running regimen for heart stimulation. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would try to working out 60 mins. a day (running, fast walking, swimming, cycling etc)... and cutting your calories down to 1,200 a day. You could probably lose about 10 pounds a month if you did that. Start recording your progress (say- on Monday I have to be 167, or whatever) and write your goals. Daily weigh-ins could probably help a lot too. Avoid greasy/fried food...have 6 two-hundred to three hundred calorie meals, every 3 hours. it keeps up your metabolism.

Most importantly, be easy on yourself. 40 pounds in 2 months and a bit is asking for a lot. I would aim between 20-30lbs, as temptations sometimes do get in the way.

Answer 3

I really don't think its possible to lose 40 pounds in like 2 and a half monthes. Its not healthy to lose 40 pounds I think depending on how much you weigh at the momment.

Answer 4

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Answer 6

No matter how you slice it, diet is a dirty word. It smacks of deprivation and hunger pangs. To overcome the pain, you need a plan.

So WebMD asked the experts for advice, and put together their quick tips on how to get your weight lossgoing.

1. Know Your Weight Loss Goals

Consider how much you need to lose before you decide how to do it, recommends Brian C. Jacobson, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine and a gastroenterologist at Boston University Medical Center in Massachusetts.

Very overweight or obese. "For someone obese, I refer them to our weight loss center," says Jacobson, who says people with a lot of weight to lose can probably benefit from a structured, supervised program.

If you're slightly or moderately overweight. "I advise controlling portion size," Jacobson says. "If you control portion size, you cut calories."

To learn correct portion sizes, consult a registered dietitian or take a look at the new food pyramid at MyPyramid.gov.

Exercise also has to be part of your plan, Jacobson tells the do-it-yourselfers. But that doesn't necessarily mean joining a gym. "Buy a cheap treadmill," he says, and when you're watching TV, hop on and take a walk.

Before starting a new exercise regime or weight loss plan, however, remember to talk with your doctor.

2. Understand Your Weight Loss Personality

Personality plays a role in our attitude towards food, says Thomas R. Przybeck, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, who has published on the topic of diet and personality. Know your tendencies and tailor your plan to conquer the unproductive inclinations.

Impulsive. "If you have a tendency to be impulsive, you might see a pint of Ben & Jerry's in the freezer and go for it," Przybeck says. Clearly you are a dieter who needs to remove those temptations.

Oblivious. If you tend to not pay attention when you eat -- maybe you're a TV snacker? -- you need to avoid such situations if you want to control portions.

Uptight. "If you are highly anxious, you will probably have more difficulty," Przybeck says. "Those who are anxious, nervous, and depressed might eat to feel better."

Tenacious. Certain personalities don't find it that difficult losing weight. "If you are highly self-directed, cooperative, and have a lot of stick-to-it-ive-ness, you are going to have an easier time," Przybeck says.

Sociable. You tend to monitor your food intake better than others, Przybeck found.

3. Double Up: Diet & Exercise

When her heartburn patients ask which should come first, diet or exercise, Lauren Gerson, MD, MSc, director of the Esophageal and Small Bowel Disorders Center at Stanford University School of Medicine in California, says: jump in and do both.

"It's a combination of diet and exercise [that will lead to weight loss]," she says.

4. Make a Firm Weight Loss Commitment

To be successful, it helps to understand why you want to lose weight. So before you begin a weight loss plan, ask yourself:

* Am I ready to do this?
* Is my motivation coming from within?
* Can I deal with occasional setbacks or lack of progress?
* Can I focus on weight loss fully? (If you're in the midst of a job change or other distractions, for example, it might be better to resolve those issues, and then focus on weight loss efforts.)

Finally, be sure you're committed to losing weight for yourself -- not because someone else is pressuring you to do so.

Then, take things slowly, keep these tips in mind, and you should be on the road to weight loss in no time.
