How to lose weight faster?

[Anonymous]

So I plan on joining the military after graduation, I have to loose at least 33 more pounds before I can go to meps. I've already lost 50 but I've hit a plateau it seems. I'm still exercising and doing the diet I've been doing, but I just stopped loosin like I was, now it's like a pound a week. Any suggestions to loose weight faster and get over the plateau so I can keep goin? I don't want to take diet pills because then when I stop taking them it'll all just come back, but what other suggestions are there?

- have lots of protein, water and complex carbs- cut out simple carbs

- add more variety to your workouts; doing the same exercises your body adjusts and gets used to them so it is no longer effective

- do lots of cardio (3-4 hours a week)

- do 20 minute sessions of aerobics in the morning before you eat anything- its more effective at this time than doing over an hour of aerobics any other time. if you can't manage to do it then than don't eat for 3 hours before and do it in the evening around 5 or 6 pm and don't eat for an hour afterwards

-eat lots of lean meats such as turkey and have lot of seafood

-caffeine, cinnamon and spicy food are good to have because they speed up your metabolism and help reduce belly fat but have in moderation, because too much is ineffective

if you have any questions about diet or exercise feel free to ask (you can message me any questions you have too, I will answer everything I can and as many questions as you have)

Usually plateaus can be overcome by altering your diet a bit. Only eat complex carbs, cut out all refined foods and sugars, only drink water, eat lots of veggies and some fruit. Fruits in veggies lower in sugar are best. For example, carrots and bananas are very high in sugar and will because insulin spikes.

Eat less, and do more cardio.

Little adjustments like foregoing "second helpings" and having huge meals will make a difference. Eat until you're not hungry, not until you're full. Whatever cardio routine you have, mix in some full body workouts and do more of them.

*NOT having huge meals

Plateaus do happen. A little reduction in food intake will help you get past it.

Don't know yet, I'm really hoping for intelligence though. But my physics professor from last year is a Radiation Health Officer and wanted me to look into that, may apply for that one too. But Intelligence is a definite!
