OK, first of all are you trying to lose weight? Or maintain your current weight? If you are within your healthy weight range (BMI of 18.5-24.9kg/m2) then you don't need to lose weight, just maintain it! In this case that basically means the amount of energy you eat needs to be the equivalent of the amount of energy you burn in a day!

Exercise is good because it helps to build muscle mass- and as muscle uses energy, this in turn increases metabolic rate. Exercise alone won't burn amounts of energy significant enough to promote weight loss (unless you are exercising excessively- in which case you should eat to accommodate this). You should try and aim for the equivalent of 30 mins of moderate intensity exercise per day- if you're struggling with time due to your exams, this might be hard- but being up on your feet doing house work etc is better than nothing!

The best way to lose weight and day to day is to have a good quality diet! FAD DIETS ARE NEVER THE ANSWER!! They are unhealthy as they are usually very nutritionally incomplete and are never a good choice as they are not sustainable and therefore will likely lead to weight gain in the future.

The answer is a healthy balanced diet!

ok they say its 30% workout but I am here to tell you it is actually 20% workout and 80% what you put in your mouth...look the solution is simple do not eat sugar or trans fats, and all the crap that is being produced out there, you know what not to eat...workouts are there to maintain your movement - it just speeds along the process and it's good for your health - movement is life. I have a nutribullet but you can also use ninja and I do juicing because I seriously do not feel like sitting down and eating 2 plates of salad, that is going to take me 2 hours so I juice it and it's not like breville or other juicers, nutribullet saves all the fiber and nutrients and what I do well what I did at first was add lots of water and drink it then as I got used to it I reduced the water but you still need water with it and so far I am good...food portions - you can have unlimited amount of greens, meat/protein 3 to 4 oz. per day and you will be fine...

Why, you look fine? but there are some ways I could suggest, there's a fat reducing approach called "intermediete Fasting", basically. Eat as much as you like within a MAXIMUM of a consistently chosen interval, then fast not eating for the the time outside this period. For example... if you chose to begin eating at 12, you'd have to stop eating completely at 8pm. (the 16 hour fasting period includes the duration you're asleep). You'll quickly start seeing fat loss but it'll have to be consistent so maintain that 16 hour period gap.

There's also this drink, I don't drink it for health but tradition (i want to gain weight lol) but its incredibly healthy and flushes out all the toxins in your body, even healthier then green tea called "erva mate"

You want to eat frequently but small amounts rather than big meals a few times a day.
That will keep your metabolism going and will also shrink your tummy as your tummy does not need to hold a mass amount of food.
Exercise is very important to do but if you don't want to do it it's your body.
Eat something like museli and a piece of fruit in the morning with a glass of juice, lunch have different salads with a vegetable juice or another fruit juice , dinner is up to you just not fried not a big meal and try and stay away from processed food as much as you can:)

eat as unprocessed and balanced as possible. don't go no-carb. i usually try to eat carbs for breakfast, and protein+fiber for lunch and dinner. try to eat as clean as possible after 3-4 pm, that's important cuz your metabolism slows down a bit in the evening. drink water 15 min before every meal. you can try HIIT workouts as fasted cardio (it's only 15-20 min and it's a HUGE boost for you metabolism), i like FitnessBlender workouts on youtube. i haven't done any proper gym workout for 2 months or so now cuz of uni and work, but i haven't gained weight at all (i do morning HIIT 4 times a week usually). hope it was helpful:)

Well I am Bulimic. I DO NOT recommend any eating disorder.
If that is your picture you too thin anyway so taking a month or 6 off is not going to affect you even a little bit.
but without working our or at least walking, your just going to have to cut down what you eat. or eat things like a lot of fruits and veggies. which is gross.

You can do quick HIIT workouts. If you're interested, this chick has 10-30 minute workouts that will kill you and kickstart your metabolism.

browolf · Answer

If you don't have the time then "high intensity workouts" are all the rage these days. Short bursts of exercise lasting less than 10 minutes give you the same health benefits as slugging it out at the gym for hours.
You can probably find some videos on YouTube for them.

DifferentLine · Answer

Intermittent fasting is supposed to help with your metabolism. The idea behind it is to only eat your meals in an 8 hour window during the day. So you still eat the same amount of food, but in a shorter amount of time.

A popular way to do it is to only eat between 12pm - 8pm during the day, and not eat anything else other than that window. It shouldn't be too hard to do, as you'll be sleeping most of that time anyway!

Just eat a balanced and healthy amount and types of food the best weight loss exercises are cardio. Jumping jacks are great doing jump rope for 5 minutes each morning and at night is hood slowly increase the time the stronger you get. And of course speed walking and jogging and bicycles at the gyms.

binny91 · Answer

Don't eat just starve yourself you'll definitely lose weight.

But on a more serious note just have a high protein clean diet. Complex carbs and a few good fats and lots of vegetables.

Pretty much cut out all processed stuff like sweets , packaged bread, instant noodles and take out. Oh and stay away from soft drinks and drink more tea/coffee to speed your metabolism up more.

Combine that with some exercise and you'll be good to go

You don't have to work out to lose weight or stay slim. Just count calories. So basically, if you don't have time to work out then use a calculator like one found on myfitnesspal.com to figure out your calories to maintain at sedentary activity level, and just do that until you have time to work out again.

My doctor has taught me a diet that works. But you should only do it if you are overweight. Eat everything without salt. After 5 pm only eat soup also without salt and with no potatos or other carbs. Don't eat fried food, only boiled or grilled. And don't abuse carbs before 5 pm.
I don't know if it's healthy to follow this diet forever, so beware.
If you are hungry because of a diet you should exercise your muscles or they will shrink.

croxy · Answer

Eat soup and salad for dinner as often as you can (can be good ones, but avoid unhealthy things in the salad). Stop drinking soda, stop drinking alcohol, if you drink coffee drink it with as little as possible things in.

the only way to get toned is to work out. But if you do like 30 squats a day or 50 crunches in the mornings then you should tone muscle easily
