Answer 1

The perfect way to loose weight and monitor your progress is to use a calorie counter on a daily basis while you diet.

Energy In/Energy Out

Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day

One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat

1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn

You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.

Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.

Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.



Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food

My favorite things to eat:

Avocado Wraps

Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon...Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.

Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.

First thing in the morning...A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that "got to have" item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet "snack" that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cuisines

Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200...You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.

It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake...that’s okay...you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.

Fruits and Veggies

All you want on the schedule listed below.
Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

____

Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY...I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull...WITHOUT the calorie intake.
WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____

Soda/Carbonation

Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don't fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won't need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don't need.
So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what...four sodas and two energy drinks in one day...that is a total of .... 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing...Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won't crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows...it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do...it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn't need it.. Now it knows...you wont' forget about it and that food is on its way.

____

Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it...it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.

Answer 2

My best friend did Weight Watchers, and she said the basics are drinking at least 60 ounces of water per day (add some Crystal Light- it is awesome!) don't eat out unless it is a salad (Arby's salads are awesome) and walk and move around as much as you can. The only thing I have done so far is replace my pops/soda with bottled water, and I have stopped eating anything fried, and I work out once a week. Can't find the motivation any other time. I have been doing this since the end of September and have lost almost 30 pounds. When losing weight, you have to do things you will STICK with for the rest of your life- otherwise, it just won't work.

Answer 3

I go to weight watchers because I like the group support. I do the core program when I'm home and cooking and the flex plan when I travel. The plan I follow is similar to the one listed below.

First make sure you don't have any medical issues that are causing you to gain weight. If your weight gain is the result of a medical issue, then no amount of dieting is going to make you lose the weight until you are treated for the medical problem.

Next, honestly evaluate exactly what it is you are eating and how much. I recommend that you keep a food journal for about 2 weeks before you start a change in your food plan. Record everything that you put in your mouth, what time of day you eat or drink it, and even how you were feeling when you ate it. This will help you indentify if you are eating for emotional reasons or real hunger reasons. Many people will find that they are not eating enough calories or they are not eating a variety of foods or that they are dehydrated because they are drinking sodas or coffee instead of water.

If you have a lot of weight to lose, you will want to cut back gradually so your body doesn't think that you are starving it. When your body goes into starvation mode, it will stop losing weight no matter how much you cut back.

pretty much just watch your portion sizes, eat lots of different foods to get your Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) from the food pyramid in. Drink plenty of water (min 6-8 8oz glasses per day). Learn your body's hunger signals and eat when hungry, eat slowly so your body has time to process when you are full but not stuffed. Get in some kind of daily activity--walk, ride a bike, dance, run, jump rope, whatever is fun and works for you.

Also check a good height/weight chart--one that takes into consideration your frame size. You want to make sure that you are at a healthy weight range for your height and frame. Many get a certain number locked in their heads and don't realize that it may not be a realistic or even healthy weight or size for them to be.

don't tell yourself that there are bad or off limit foods (unless you have issues with certain foods and know you can't control yourself with them). When you tell yourself that you can't have certain food, then you start to crave them. I have found that by not keeping my trigger foods at home, I don't crave them. On the rare occasion when I do crave a trigger food, I will only buy enough to feed the craving at that time. It's gone, it's over with, no issues.

I normally average a 1-2 lb weekly weight loss. except for the week I had food poisoning--lost 9.6 pounds that week but then when I was feeling better gained all but 3 of that back over the next 3 weeks.

on program for 4 months, have lost 20 pounds and still losing.

Good Luck.

Brenda, Hi, there are lots of programs that will work, the one factor that you may want to look at is that after you lose the weight if you go back to the same thing you are doing now it will be no good. You need to develop a lifestyle change, and learn how to eat more healthy. I personally like Herbalfe
I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks and over 12 inches of body fat. What is more incredible is that I went on to lose over 65 lbs and have kept it off now for over 2 years. I simply did two shakes a day and ate one healthy colorful meal until I reached my desired weight and then I did one shake a day to maintain.
It is a simple program and is very affordable, around $3.00
a day depending on what kind of program you do
I started with the Shapeworks Quick Start Plus
The other most important thing to remember is that you should exercise and help tighten and tone the body. It is easy once you make up your mind to do it and you will find that you will feel better and healthier, I do.

Answer 5

The eat right and exercise weight loss program.

It's easy. Eat 1500 calories a day and go to the gym and burn 500 calories in an hour of exercise 6 days per week. Take 1 day off of exercise, but take 20 minutes to stretch that day.

Eat clean, whole foods - e.g. egg whites, skinless chicken/turkey breast, fish, shrimp, vegetables, oatmeal/grains, plain unsweetened yogurt, etc. Count your calories at www.calorieking.com and eat 4-6 meals a day totalling 1500 calories for the day.

If you do that, you will lose weight.

Answer 6

I've had lots of success with the good old weightwatchers "points" diet. Here any food you eat is given a point value based on its calorie, fat, and fiber content. You get a certain number of points/day based on your weight (I think if you are around 200 lbs you get 24-27 points, for example).

They make you spend loads of money to get into the program and give you a fancy slider to calculate food point values, but a simple way to do it is the forumla below:

Calories/50 + fat/12 -fiber/5 = points (can only count up to 4 fiber). So a candy bar with 250 calories, 10 grams of fat, and no fiber is a 6. You can see if you only get 20-30 points, that's a large chunk of what you can eat in a day. Good luck!
