What is the best thing to do to lose weight?

[Darkfairie17]

Eat healthy and exercise, as well as adopt healthy habits to your life. Don't just cut out unhealthy foods you eat regularly out of your diet right away. Get rid of them in stages, or else you will find yourself going back to your old habits. I had a friend do that, she will give up pop and unhealthy junk cold turkey, then say she is going to exercise all the time. Once she meets her goal weight, the chips and pop start calling again and then she complains she has gained it all back. It's no wonder though, because she fell back into her old habits.

Also create a healthy eating plan and exercise routine that is flexible. If you only eat healthy food and never have any of the bad stuff, you will find the old habits hard to break and the diet won't stick. Same with exercise, if you work out everyday for 2 hours, you will lose weight, but it's not something that will stick. You have to adopt a routine into your life that you can live with. And find activities and foods you enjoy doing and eating. It will make it a lot easier to maintain and to lose weight.

exercise, proper food choices, etc. but what ever you do DONT not eat, your body will hold onto the weight if you skip meals, I see so many commercials on TV of people loosing weight, so I know it can be done. stay away from sodas, and anything with high fructose corn syrup, I have been a lifelong weight lifter and am proud to say that I still have the same waist size for the last 20 yrs. I know its tuff for girls, diet diet diet, and then all the media portraying extra skinny girls. you don't have to be skinny, but healthy! is a good place to get and stay, also treat your self to a fav snack once and a while, starving yourself and deniying yourself all the time, will result in failure when it comes to a diet. eat foods that take more calories to burn then what you get out of them, remember losing the weight is the hardest part, once you do then its just a matter of maintaining your weight. girls can lift weights too, you just do hi reps and you won't get bulky. best of luck!

bodybuilding.com is the best site for all that. its got all the hot tips for dieting and all types of training.

your basically need a high protein diet, like just eating fish,any meat, eggs, nuts, fruit and veg. don't cut your carbs completely cause you could end very tired and weak, and you carbs for your brain to function. one girl did that cut out her carbs to zero for a week, and nearly stab her boyfriend, that was because she was not functioning properly from eating enough carbs.

exercises you need to do cardio for 30-40 minutes a day. skipping is one the best of cardio exercises you can do. its shreds the pounds of you. go out running for at 30minutes a day, for 3 times a week. in any cardio programme you need walk, run past the 15minute mark to start burning fat. going for a walk for 10minutes a day is no good. which my friends do. you will just be wasting your time. unless you add it in to your workout.

excercise is key, start joogng for 20 minutes everyday and walking/ biking to get around more.

excercise will burn more calories (oviously) but will also eventually become fun and rewarding, unlike dieting which is always a battle.

*eat protein rich foods, like salmon, grilled chicken, nuts, avacados, lentils, (boiled with ginger until soft then dressed in seasame oil and a touch of soy sauce = delicious) chickpeas, eggs as these will keep you feeling full and satisfied and give you an even

*avoid sugar, carbs, and anything that will spike your blood sugar and give you worse cravings later (this includes stuff like white rice, potatoes etc)

Also take away the egg yolks from the eggs =) Those do nothing really. All the protein is in the egg white.

Realise that what you put into your body is something you're going to have to work off later.

So make sure it's something that will keep you feeling full when you're eating, or something you can eat a lot of and not gain excess weight.

Also, if you are American, order your salads WITHOUT dressing.

You get a few weird looks, but if you want results, it's one step closer.

I take it you mean the first thing to do? SEt a goal for yourself, in terms f how you want to look, not specific numbers f pounds. Then immediately stop desserts and alcohol and fast food...

That's oly the beginning of course, you need to exercise as well.

Get around by walking or biking. Playing sports. Eating healthy. I'm not a gym rat so this is how I keep my weight down.
