What are some good, healthy ways to lose weight?

[beach_girl_15]

my doctor told me I'm a little over-weight. I go for a walk everyday to the end of my street and back which is about a mile. what else can I do besides eating healthier to lose a little more weight? please any advice will help.

1. Stay under 1200 calories a day

2. Stay away from high fat & high sugar foods

3. Drink lots of water

4. Jog/run/walk/exercise videos/yoga/pilates/dancing

5. Build Muscle (muscle burns fat)

6. Meditate (very good for your mind during dieting)

7. Take vitamins (dieting is also exhausting you need energy, I suggest: fish oil, & a multi-vitamin)

8. If you can---massages---relaxing is key to losing weight

9. Laugh a lot and have a good time (again, you need to be in a good mental state of mind)

do you know where I can get those videos for a cheap price?

[FierceMegan]

On Fit TV it is free! :D Make sure to get Sleep too, I forgot. Rest at least 8 hours every night.

[shani982]

Look, who is talking about sleeping for at least 8 hours :P

[FierceMegan]

I had a feeling that someone was gonna call me out on that. I know, I do a lot of unhealthy things. You'd be surprised. :P

[beach_girl_15]

wats fit tv

[FierceMegan]

Are you American? Do you have cable? or satellite? It is a channel with workout programs on it. If not, go on Amazon, Ebay, Craigslist, etc, to find some cheap ones.

[knowmeyourself]

[FierceMegan]

@knowmeyourself - lmfao! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! :D You do! *wink*wink* :D

[beach_girl_15]

Instead of walking the mile you could jog it or run it. Also try only drinking water/milk and cutting out soft drinks as much as you can. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and less unhealthy snacks. Try doing ab work outs/cardio/agility training etc you can find different work-outs you can do at home online.(:

[beach_girl_15]

do you know where I could find those at-home workout videos for a cheap price?

[sourpatchchik2]

No not really.:/ I was thinking more alone the lines of websites where it tells you how many sets to do and such, I'll post links in a second. I'd look up some videos for you but I'm doing homework right now. I haven't really tried these things but if you try doing some research online to see what workouts give good results and such you'll have better luck.(: link the links on this website should be helpful.

[sourpatchchik2]

link and it wouldn't hurt trying this out lol, looks interesting.(: Good luck.(:

[beach_girl_15]

thank you so much your a great help

[sourpatchchik2]

No problem.(:

[beach_girl_15]

check out my other question plz

[shani982]

1) Jogging/running

2) Rather than eating too much 3 times a day, Eat less 6 or 7 times a day.

[beach_girl_15]

but how do I know how much is too much?

[shani982]

1) What ever you eat normally, Eat it in two slots.

2) Try to avoid eating Junk food

3) There should be a gap of at least 3 hours between your dinner and bed time.

[beach_girl_15]

can you think of any healthy meals that would be cheap to make?

[shani982]

Try to eat lot of Salad.

Prefer white meat like chicken or fish over red meat. Fish fats get burn easily than any other meat.

Also try to eat fruit daily, especially apple.

[beach_girl_15]

ok thank you

Play video games non-stop, you'll have great thumb muscles in no time.
