Need to lose weight?

[KaneJW]

its your typical question of "are there any tips to losing weight?"

but I know all the things of changing lifestyles and crap and controlling your eating habits...exercises...etc etc

But the reason I'm asking this is because after I moved back to Korea (I lived in Europe for about 11 years before), I became so busy with school work (you know how Asians love studying/math.. :D jking) that I can't pay attention to my physical condition...i usually stay up till 1 or 2 in the morning to finish my homework ...that's how intense it is in my new Korean high school...

so

i am hoping that you can give me some tips on how to lose weight when you just don't have the time to exercise!

can you give 20 minutes every other day? I would try HIIT (high intensity interval training) if I were you- people have seen amazing results on it, and it's not time consuming whatsoever.

It's basically short spurts of sprinting followed by a slow jog. An example would be (after a warmup)

Sprint- 30 seconds

Jog- 30 seconds

Sprint- 30 seconds

Jog- 30 seconds

etc, etc... you can also do a distance like sprint for 1/8 of a mile, jog 1/8 of a mile, etc etc.

As far as your diet goes, do you mind posting what your current one is on a daily basis? Drink a lot of water, cut out a lot saturated fats.. there are also some foods that have been known to help with weight loss, but I can't vouch for them as I have never tried them out and don't need to lose weight; they are green apples (pectin) and grapefruit.

Good luck! If you really can't exercise, please post your daily diet, height, and weight and I can help you out.

I've been recommending HIIT on this site and for my friends, and use it myself. But I thought you might wanna check out this new article I saw. I won't change what I'm doing now, but it's worth a read.

thermogenic fat burners can be picked up at gnc. caffine supplements will get you even more results but do have some risks (mostly jitters and occasionally heartrate) talk to your doctor and see what they think about using just caffine and not ephedra alog with it unless it is legal in korea

u can still lose weight if you take time to exercise for 20 mins. but make sure its a heart pumping one. not the slow one. do that everyday. or at least 3-4 times a day. it helps build up metabolism. stuff like green tea (every meal/alteasy 3 times a day) helps build. eat lotsa fresh stuff. to me, the trick to losing weight HEALTHILY and HOTLY is by building up metabolism. starving is just full of crap cos you get saggier and you gain more weight due to the slowing down of metabolism.

if you dnt know what 2 do for 20 mins/30 mins/even 15 mins... I suggest jumping on the spot nonstop. and fast. or runnng round and round. do crazy movements. make sure you pause and rest if it gets reli tiring.

Oops I meant 3-4 times A WEEK, besides exercising everyday.***

Well, I know of an excellent diet where you lose about 1 pound per day and it is completely healthy. I did it a while ago and it worked wonders. It is called the HCG Diet or HCG Protocol

It is for tough people though because you have to be very strict with what you eat or it won't work.

How much do you want to lose?

the minimum of days you can do this diet is 23 and the maximum is 45. You can lose about from 19 to 40 pounds, depending on how much time you do it.

Here you have a link where you can read the free book of the guy who invented the diet: link

you can also find some blogs where people post their pics.

1. get 8-hr sleep (this brings up your metabolism and will lower your hunger)

2. eat 5 small meals/day

3. exercise 30 mins on weekdays then rest on weekends (whatever you enjoy - pilates/weigths (always include this to turn fats into muscles) /running/yoga/walking/dancing, economical: look for dvd / join a gym membership)

4. don't diet (this will make you crave for more)

5. drink lots of water, avoid soda as much as possible replace with tea when you eat out

6. eat home-cook meals avoid frozen-fast foods (but you can eat on weekends)

-fat never becomes muscle. Adipose cells never become muscle cells.

-Dieting is a must, but not a fancy schmancy temporary diet. Change your diet for the rest of your life. Make it something you like, and try new things, making sure that they are healthy.

-Drink water or milk works too.

-just don't eat fat if you don't want to be fat.

Get outside for at least 30 minutes everyday. Too much indoor air makes you fat. And open the windows more. Not so much that it gets cold, but let some air flow though the house. Beyond that just eat what you feel like, but don't eat anything that doesn't taste good.

The 20-30-40 etc minutes a day are all recommended, but really any bit helps. Also you can't out train a bad diet. My best tip to eating healthier is to cook in bulk, make lots of healthy food ahead of time and just reheat it when you want. My second best tip is eat 6 to 8 tiny meals a day instead of he big three meals.

[Reeses-pieces777]

I just try to eat small snacks throughout the day

I keep busy so that I don't think about food

try to have low calorie snacks through out the day

green tea really helps with digestion

[ker12]

control what you eat "JUNK"...this really helped me to lose weight...
