What are some good excerises and healthy meals?

[DeannaMay15]

I'm trying to lose weight but have a really big sweet tooth and can be pretty lazy. I know like just squats and push-ups and the stuff like that but what I'm asking is like how many I should do and when I should do them. And I have no idea what's healthy but good. Like I drink lots of smoothies and am drinking more water and less soda. But I feel like everything I eat is unhealthy. Like tomato soup and grilled cheese or some chicken or whatever.

if your goal is to lose weight, focus on cardio. between jumping rope, dancing, running, biking, etc. try for 60 minutes of exercise per day. Try to limit the amount of carbohydrates and sugars you eat each day-- FDA recommends 25 grams or less of added sugar in food each day. To put that into perspective, a smoothie or shake at McDonalds might have as much as 80 grams of sugar. If you avoid processed foods most of the time, it will have a huge impact.

But I was told by a fitness trainer awhile few years ago that muscle burns more calories than cardio?

[mysoccerman]

muscle burns more calories than fat, but it takes well longer to develop. if you're exercising just to lose weight you want cardio, if you want to exercise to maintain fitness for years, you want to do a mix of both

Ohhh!! Ok thanks!

To lose weight you need cardio running, biking swimming are all good. As a simple rule the less processed the food is the better for you. Fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats etc

Also limit yourself to one smoothie a day. They are full of sugar.

Try some video fitness programs, like slim in six for beginners and then maybe Insanity (which works really good and quick). Like mysoccerman said, you need cardio in order to lose weight quickly, but you should try and get a mix in of both muscle and cardio.

Have more greens on your plate then anything else and you'll be fine
