What is a good way to lose weight?

[itshayley]

A healthy way of course. Any suggestions? Workouts, eating habits, etc? Next month I'll be doing 3 hour conditioning workouts with my team for tennis every morning. (: Right now I do the treadmill, use weights, play tennis, and use one of those stationary bikes..

The best way is to keep your matabolism high to keep the calories burning as you would. That is best acomplished eating something small every 2-3 hours.

The diet plan I went on when I started going to the gym was pretty simple:

For breakfast don't eat too much, just a banana or an apple, maybe even some egg whites with a glass of water. Bowl of oatmeal is awesome if you can handle the terrible taste.

Between breakfast and lunch I'd drink a meal replacement shake

Lunk I'd only have a small meal, such as a peanutbutter sandwhich or a salad, with a glass of water of course!

Same thing between lunch and Supper I'd drink another meal replacement shake.

For supper you could have chicken with potatoes and corn, that's always good! But for supper I slacked off a bit and had a normal supper lol,

Then 2-3 hours after supepr id drink another meal replacement shake.

Remeber you can replace anything I said with what ever you like, replace the shakes with a small snack of strawberries or what not. Also take a day or 2 off every week from this diet and eat what ever you like. Also don't eat anything past 9 pm that's when your matabolism isn't working as effeciantly and could build up some extra fat over night.

Again you don't have to follow this to a T, it's just what I put together when I was on my diet/working out.

Good luck! :D

first of all eat healthy.. eat your fruits and vegetables. try to take out as much junk food and soda out of your diet. run /jog/fast walk every day or every other day. do crunches and or pushups. in the summer when you run you sweat more since its hot. and if you sweat more you loose more weight. try to run outside not on the treadmill

all that plus P90X or just go to a gym...but I agree with everything he has said - P90X you can do in yoru home, there are two different types one to gain muscle mass and one to tone/lose weight - cehck em out!

Losing weight is all about calories. One pound of fat is 3500 calories. Exercise burns, guess what, calories. It's really easy to eat too many calories, just start adding them up. I reduced my diet from 2500 to 1200 and I've lost 30 pounds and still manage to eat twice a day and have two pepsi's (I love pepsi); they are not tiny meals either. I was 170 and now I'm 140 so I am almost where I want to be :). Plus I take multivitamins so it really doesn't matter much what I eat in the nutriet department, but I'm so used to it now, its normal. I'm down to a size five and they are getting too big now.

Just look how much two pieces of bread are. The average is 300 calories. you can get multigrain, really healthy bread that tastes even better and is only 160 for two pieces for the same sandwich. It's easier than you think and if you add exercise to it, it's even easier. You literally are what you east so take care of yourself and eat right. Leave the junk for kids and crack heads.
