Diet and exercise tips?

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to lose weight and be healthy just to make me feel better. I can't afford a gym membership and don't get out of the house much due to having children that I can't leave at home alone. So any exercise tips and diet tips would be greatly appreciated I have cut out all juice and soda out of my diet and only drinking water. Any tips you can give me?

Good on you for knocking out the soda. A little juice is okay, but just drink it in moderation and in the morning with your breakfast.

Eating at least three meals per day is good. People think not eating is the best way to lose weight, but it's actually a great way to get Type 2 Diabetes. Also, having enough protein intake is also important since it helps your body metabolise more efficiently.

I would recommend looking up proven diets online from certified nutritionists and stay away from the fad diets that either don't work or can compromise your health. For exercise, invest in an inexpensive set of bands you can exercise with. You can do lots of exercises with them and that will get you feeling better and firming up.

Depending on the age of your kids, you can either walk them in their stroller, or you can take them for walks with you. It doesn't have to be 20 miles, but even a stroll around the block is good to get the blood moving in your body.

You can also try and exercise ball. They are inexpensive and come with videos explaining the different exercises you can do with them.

Lots of ways to work out without leaving the house.

Good luck,

The best diet tips will be to reduce your calories intake. Primarily reduce your carb into the 0s. That means you stay away from anything sweet including fruits. Anything with carbs like bread or whole wheat bread. In fact limit your diet into veges, fish and meat.

If you do it right then you will feel very irritable because you will be running short on sugars. Keep at it for a couple weeks until you no longer feel the cravings for sweets.

Focus on high intensity training and strength training. Cardio exercise cause you to lose muscle and make you look fat. See those marathons runners? High intensity exercise will cause you to burn calories for the rest of the day and give you a well toned body.

*juice is good for you. Just make sure it has no added sugars.
*cut out fast food and lower your desserts and ice creams to once or twice a month
* drink plenty of water. And when you tired of water you can drink tea or low sugar lemonade
*if you can't leave the house you can download those online workout videos to do in your bedroom or something.

Try to avoid fat and processed food and eat lots of fruits and vegetables! I know it sounds predicted but it really works. As exercise you can follow many youtubers that have fitness programmes! They are free and you can do them in your house in your free time

Diet will be important, but you don't just want it to be a diet, you want it to become a lifestyle. If you can get out to run, that's the best calorie burning exercise. Use supertracker. usda. gov to track calories and intake of macronutrients, try to limit sugars and carbohydrates. For every 3500 calorie deficit you create, you will lose 1 lb. or around that much. good luck!

Drink nothing but water on your first day of exersice. Then you start your diet. My uncle did a hamburger and brocolli diet and lost over 200 lbs. I did my own regimen and went from 187 lbs to 135 lbs. I lost 52 lbs while exersicing everyday no matter what.
