How to slim up?

[Anonymous]

Okay, so I'm 5'2 125 pounds.
I want to slim up and put on more muscle. I can't go to a gym.
What diet should I have?
What exercises?

- Drink a lot of water everyday. If you feel hungry, try drinking a glass of water before eating right away to see if you were actually just thirsty.
- Eat more simply. If something has a million ingredients on the nutrition label, it's probably unhealthy.
- Snack on fruits and vegetables, rather than processed stuff.
- Track your calories. Weight loss happens when you consume less calories than you burn. Figure out a rough estimate of your basal metabolic rate - the amount of calories your body naturally burns off (just google BMR calculator) - and don't eat more calories than that in a day.
- Exercise for an added effect. Focus mostly on cardiovascular activities (e. g., jogging, swimming, bike riding, hiking, tennis) if weight loss is your main goal right now.
- For putting on muscle, use weights and do push ups, the plank, etc. There are a bunch of YouTube exercise videos that will give you ideas on what you can do!

How to slim up?
CICO eat less calories than you burn. I suggest cardio and resistance exercises.

What diet should I have?
Eating less than your TDEE. https://tdeecalculator.net/

What exercises?
Cardio- walking, running, swimming, biking.
Resistance or strength training exercises. You could get some resistance bands and do yoga/pilates like POP Pilates. Or you could do strength training 30 Day Challenges.

If you can, yoga classes can help. Some of them are more based on the physical aspect, on flexibility and poses that challenge strength and balance. If you can't the standard weightless workout with push ups, sit ups, jogging, etc. should work well.

For exercices, see myTake about exercices when you travel. Your diet should contain enough proteins in small portions (5x/day) since the body can only consume small amounts in a certain time

You could try a 30 minute walking program.
