What is a good way to lose weight?

Question

I weight around 205 pounds and i am 6'0 for height. I am wondering if there is a good way to lose weight? Anyone has advice? Probably lose around 30 pounds?

Answer 1

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 400-600cal 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 (have lots of veggies to eat in between meals if you are still hungry)
8 glasses of water -carry bottle of water with you and when you feel hungry drink it - we often confuse hunger with thirst (our bodies confuse it)
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, ice cream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
of course you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Answer 2

hi buddy
ur ideal weight would be :
6'0" 157-170(in pounds) 71-77(in kilograms)

1.Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.
2.. Do not skip meals. The worst thing you can do while watching you diet is skip a meal. It has just the opposite effect of what you want. You need to have at least four regular meals every day.
3.go to gym.when you decide it’s time to start working out, start slowly and don’t get discouraged if you don’t achieve your fitness goals after the first week. Many people make this mistake. They feel that if they really push their bodies they can lose more weight in a couple of work outs. This is a very serious thing in fact. If you try to push your body too much in the first few goes, you are likely to end up with sprained joints, a sore back and even torn ligaments. The rule to be followed here is slow and steady wins the race.you"ll win the race dont worry.start it as a new year resolution,but from now onwards.u are just .
4.If you have a sitting job, stand up and stretch yourself every half an hour
5.Use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can.
6.Turn on music and dance like wild.
7.Get down at a block before your destination and walk the rest of the way.
8..if possible,Join a dance class(temporarily).
9..If you have a dog, take it for a run and let the dog lead you on.
10.others too have said what u ought to do.just follow it.
hope it helped.

have a nice day.

Answer 3

I know what its like to have a weight problem, ive been there myself, i know how difficult it can be.

From my experience, the best things you can do are these:

Have a look at what you eat in meals/snacks -

1) Decrease your intake of high fatty, sugar, salty and oily foods.

2) Eat fruits and vegetables (recommended intake is 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veges - 1/2 cup each serve).

3) Eat foods that are rich in fibre like breads (not white), pastas, rice etc.

4) Eat meats like lean meats, tuna / salmon (high in omega 3 D,H,A oils, for a healthy heart)

Do not have huge servings of meals, cut them down, have enough to fill a plate/bowl.

Do not starve yourself, it does not work. You can have any food you want, just in moderation.

Exercise for at least 30min-60mins a day, if you can do more than that, that is ok also.

If you have weights and/or cardio equipment (eg treadmill or exercise bike) at home, use them.

If you are a member of a gym, speak to a personal trainer about getting a program sorted out.

Do some walking / jogging, try to get a friend to do it with you, for added motivation.

Join a club that does physical activity like: sports, martial arts etc - not only you will get fit, you can make new friends as well.

Look on the internet or go to a library and find books / articles on healthy eating and physical activity.

Thats some basic advice for you. hope it helps.

Good luck to you !!!!

Eat 1500-1600 calories a day (assuming you are male).
Cut out sodas (diet and regular), and sweetened coffees and teas.
Eat at least 5 fruits and veggies every day, and eat as many colors as you can.

8-12 cups of water/day
30-60 minutes of intense quality cardio 4-6 days/week.
25-45 minutes of weight 4 days a week. Legs and abs Monday & Thursday. Arms and back Tuesday & Friday.

Answer 8

The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won't help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don't eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i'm going pretty well if i don't say myself. 90 LBS isn't anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. Just please be patient for ppl seem to email me for advice on this, I will reply, don't worry! ~Adia`
