How can I lose weight fast?

i wanna lose 50 pounds how can achieve this successfully?

1. you have to first make a realistic plan and goal.

2. reduce your portion sizes

3.you have to eat more food but in small sizes. you can have like 5 small meals a day.

4.make sure that the amount of calories you consume don't exceed the amount of calories you burn.

5. spend at least 1 hour exercising but you have to alternate the exercises. like do a mixture of strengthening exercises , muscle building exercises , flexibility exercises etc

6. don't overexercise or exercise for long periods of time . It's not healthy

7. Don't drastically reduce your calories. The least amount of calories you have to consume should be 800 and that isn't advisable .you should aim for 1500 -1800 calories a day.

8. you have to be committed. Don't give up . You will obviously have days when you "go back to your old habits" , but you have to fight that.

9. Avoid consuming fatty foods and foods with lots of added sugars e.g ice cream , cakes ,sodas etc

10. Consume nutrient dense foods instead of energy dense foods.

11. Drink lots of water and fluids

12. Don't make a mistake of reducing your carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates are very important if you want to lose weight.

Successfully won't be fast, keep in mind that healthy weight losing involves a well balanced diet and appropriate lengths of exercises/ workout. Eat mashed oatmeals for breakfast and supper. They provide the right nutrition for your body, fasten your metabolism, fill up your hunger and they come with different flavors! I've been eating mashed oatmeals not because I'm dieting, I simply love it and it keeps me in shape!

Join a gym and work out 6 days a week . Do 4 days of cardio and 2 days of weight training .One thing that really really helps is controlling your heart rate , while doing cardio . Stay in the fat burning zone - between 50 to 65 percent of your maximum heart rate and you'll definitely see fat loss . Although you'll lose lesser calories by doing low intensity exercises , you'll burn a greater percentage of fat . To calculate your maximum heart rate , subtract your age from 220 . Then multiply this by 0.5 and 0.65 to get the heart rate range that you need to maintain ! Trust me on this , it definitely works ! I struggled doing high intensity exercises and never seemed to lose much weight , but once I switched to low intensity cardio , the fat dropped away rapidly !

[Asker]

so if I do the elliptical for one hour as my cardio, how much resistance should I have and basically you're saying to do cardio slowly? instead of going intense I should keep my heart rate lower?

[striker316]

I usually keep the resistance at 9 and the cross ramp inclination at 12 . But that does'nt matter so much , adjust it for the maximum possible resistance that you can do while maintaining your lower heart rate . Again the key here is patience . If you lose your weight too quickly , then you gain it back quickly also . Aim to lose a maximum of about 2 pounds a week and whatever you do don't starve . Eat healty !

Do what I've been doing: Work out. Every day. I've already lost 15 pounds this month alone. I'd probably be at 20 pounds if I would stop eating random crap. There's no "easy" way to lose the weight. Hit the ellipticals and go nuts.

What's your workout routine?

[Asker]

i have joined a gym how long do you work out each day and how many minutes cardio?

[krisdaschwab912]

Right now, it's mainly playing a bunch of basketball (either by myself or noon ball at the YMCA), followed by at least 30 minutes on an eliptical starting at Resistance Level 8 (out of 20) and increasing the resistance by one every 10 minutes until I'm just too tired to move. Then I lift weights. I also walk pretty much everywhere I go, which also helps.

[krisdaschwab912]

By the time I'm done with cardio, I've usually burned well over 500 calories and am in a pool of sweat.

[Asker]

thank uuu!

I've lost 115 lbs by adopting a healthy diet & exercise plan revolving around resistance training and light cardio.

[Asker]

by resistance training do you mean weights and machinese in the gym?

[WeaponZero]

resistance training means weights, yes.

[proudtexasgirl]

Oh people. For the zillionth time, less calories and more exercise. That's the only HEALTHY way to lose weight. You have to burn more calories than you consume.

Or you could take up crack. -_-

[star709]
