What's the best way to lose weight and keep it off?

Answer 1

this is asked a lot actually ima copy and paste my awnser to these.

try to eat 20% calories from fat of your total calorie intake in a day. Try to also get an equal balance of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fat.
-You have to count calories to lose weight. If your burning 1000 calories walking 10 miles, but then that same day eating 3500 calories,you'll never see progress
.. I'd say eat like 1400 calories a day in numerous small meals. 1200 calories is reccomended by a lot of people but not if your active too.

-6-8 small meals keeps your metabolism running all througout the day. So it's far better to eat many meals and small portions

-Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
-Try to make sure you don't eat to many carbs or fat at once.
-unless you really understand nutrition labels try to stay away from proccessed foods and stick with whole foods. Such as instead of eating a tv dinner buy chicken, bake it, buy the veggies and steam them and then have an orange or something natural.
-If your a big fan of meats try eating White meat of chicken and turkey. Tuna is great if you like it. This will help you get protien but stay clear of the saturated fat that comes with meats
-exercise in the morning if possible, your bodys more prone to exercise when your first wake up it's ready to burn calories but later in the day it can take a bit of mental preperation to start a workout. In addition if it's an intense exercise like HIIT your rmr is faster throughout the day.
-If your a light exerciser like walking or very slow jogging then you can exercise as much as you want in the day, but you can choose a hardcore stamina training style like HIIT or long distance jogging then give your body recovery time. A stamina building routine is better in the long run and is more time efficient so you don't spend as much time having to burn calories.
-Also the very moment you wake up eat something with complex carbs in it, such as fiber. Protien too, because it kick starts your metabolsm and try to eat fairly soon after any execardio exercise sessions.
Healthy weight loss is 2 lbs a week typically it can be done faster though and stilll be healthy but unless you have radical surgery or something don't expect much more than that.
also when you eat less than 1200 calories every day your body will go into "starvation mode" and instead of your body burning off stored fat it will horde that fat and get it's energy from the protien in your muscles and your muscles will dissapear and thus you will burn less and less calories everyday due to a slower resting metabolic rate.

Eventually your diet WILL plateu if you do the same thing all the time. To avoid after 6-8 weeks of losing weight, try to take a week off and eat the same number of calories you exert. Then go back tot he 6-8 weeks. Remember also the first week or so most of the weight you lose is water weight =/ So don't get discouragesd after the 2nd or 3rd week.

Well, losing weight fast and losing weight in a healthy way are on completely different ends of the weight loss spectrum. If you lose weight in a healthy manner and keep it off, it is a slow (but steady) process. If you lose weight quickly, chances are that you are either not eating enough, depriving your body of essential nutrients, exercising too much, or a combination of these. 1-2 pounds a week is a healthy weight loss goal. Eat healthy foods (fruit, veggies, whole grains, and lean protein), keep exercising for at least 30 minutes a day, and stop eating when you are full. Also, stay hydrated and drink plenty of water. If you do all of these things, you should be fine. If you want info on healthy foods and caloric intake, go to mypyramid.gov. Great source of information.
