Do you know a way to lose weight?

Question

I have been working out for the last month or so, but with no results. My weight stays the same. I really want to but I can't seem lose it. Should I try a diet?

Eat 1200 calories.
And nobody tell me "OH MY GOD THATS WAY TOO LITTLE"
There's a difference in calories, some are good, some are bad.
If you not only want to be healthier, but lose weight, you have to eat good calories, and those good foods contain very little calories, so its not like you're under eating.
You have to get protein in your diet though, its very important. If you just eat vegetables and no fats or proteins, your energy level will be temporary, fats and proteins keep you energized and full throughout your day so you don't end up snacking. But even so, try not to eat too many fats or carbs.
Stay CLEAR of processed, salty, sugary, or fried food dense in calories or fat percentage.
Some good fats would be avocados, eggs, fish, and chia seeds (nuts are good, but they're high in calories)
Now, let me give you an example of what I would eat in a day:
-Breakfast: hard boiled egg, apple (i'm incorporating protein, complex carbohydrate, and vitamins) (p. s you can always get a slice of whole grain bread, I jus get full quickly)
-Lunch: salad w/ cucumbers, celery, lettuce, pomegranate seeds, lemon, and a spice called sumac (just for a kick) (stay clear of salads with heavy dressing like caesar salad)
-Dinner: grilled chicken, asparagus, cauliflower soup
---You have to drink at least 8 cups of water a day because peeing makes you lose fat naturally and you want to rinse out toxins from your body and just cleanse your body.
---Stay clear of dairy (unless its cottage cheese or plain yoghurt but still try not to eat the plain yoghurt too much, by the way cottage cheese and whole grain bread would be good for breakfast!)
---Stay clear of carbs too, unless its whole grain bread, quinoa, or brown rice.
---Always eat breakfast, or your blood sugar will rise and you will over eat later in the day (& never deprive yourself of eating or skip meals either)
---I actually recommend counting your calories...
---Exercise too! Building muscle helps you lose weight faster & its just better for you. I usually do donkey kicks, mountain climbers, planks, lunges, crunches, bicycle crunches, hip raises, and cardio like running, bicycling, or jump roping.
---Just a recap: You need protein.. go for grilled, vegetables, fruits as snacks or in the morning (no bananas, melon, or super sugary fruits), good carbs like brown rice, quinoa, or whole grain bread, 8 cups of water, exercise, 1200 calories a day and count em.
Yeah if you need extra advice, message me.

walk or swim at least 3 hours a day eat 1500 calories and get no less then half a gram of protein per pound. if you dont lose weight of down to 1200. if you lose more than a pound a week go up to 1800 calories.

LOTS calories of vegetables.

it's 95% what you eat and 5% exercise. For example you could go for an hour long run and eat 1 small piece of pizza and totally negate that run as far as weight loss is concerned, your FAR better off eating right in the first place.

You can't lose weight when you've got insulin being pumped into your blood, so avoiding foods that increase insulin is what you need to do. So avoid foods that are or contain, Sugars, Starches, Carbohydrates. Eat lots of vegies and only enough protean and fat to maintain health at a minimum caloric intake, like 1200 calories.

You don't have to diet, just make sure theirs variety in what your eating and as for working out I suggest to follow this routine
100 reps of sit-ups
50 reps of push-ups
Jog about a mile
Do 25 reps of reverse push-ups
And so this every other day of the week and take weekends off, of course you can fine tune it to your liking so it fits you but at the end each week increase one of your work outs doesn't matter which, doesn't matter if it's more weights or reps just increase. Hope it helps and wig you luck

Simple rule:

Cals ingested more than cals expended = weight gain

Cals ingested less than cals expended - weight loss

Eat 3 meals a day using a balanced diet. Allow two "treats" a day, if needed, each being 100 cals or less. Don't cut out fats altogether, as you will end up getting very tired. Plenty of info available on the web.

I changed my meals around I used to eat a small breakfast a medium lunch and a large dinner. It left me with a ton of calories I couldn't burn at the end of the day. Now I eat a medium breakfast a large lunch and a very small dinner. Because I was working second shift I ate my biggest meal before work (I had an active job) which allowed me to burn off the calories from my biggest meal during work.

Working out for a month won't make you lose weight.

The key to losing weight is speeding up your metabolism which is like warming up an engine.

An engine is most efficient after its been running for a while right? Not when its been turned on straight away. Well its the same with your body/metabolism. Youve got to work out longer than that to get your metabolism working faster. Once it does you'll lose weight.

Also if you're eating junk food it won't make any difference to your weight

Biggest Rule in weight lose is to not look at your body during the process, also don't weight yourself everyday, choose a diet low in carb and fats , but rich in protein and fiber , get good sleep , don't expect fast results , weight loosing needs time.

JanaTalks · Answer

If you eat a lot of junk food STOP and try eating healthier food with less fat. Go to the gym or work out at home everyday for at least an hour. Drink lots of water too.

J_12_L · Answer

Don't eat anything but breakfast lunch and dinner. In other words, don't eat any sugary drinks/ foods and don't eat any snacks. Just water and your regular 3 meals a day. Also if you want you can do cardio 4 times a week for at least 30 min

abacusgenius · Answer

Lift weights. Cardio is a poor workout in regards to calories burned for the amount of work you do. Try crossfit, or circuit, but above all lift weights.

NourSy · Answer

Diet, workout and most importantly sleep. If one of those is not met then you will only see slight changes.

ChocEyes1 · Answer

You just want to lose weight? No matter the body composition?

Losing weight is mainly about diet, yes. You can workut 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and still gain weight unless you follow a diet in which you spend more calories than you eat.
