What could be the results?

[Anonymous]

I weigh 62 kgs and my height is 165cm. A bit thicker on the hips and thighs. Lower legs and waist are fine. I do have a bit of tummy as well. If I run 2 hours everyday, what could be the results in about 2 months? I won't be 'dieting' as in going out of my way to find healthy foods. However I will be cutting all junk food and fizzy drinks. Il be eating home cooked meals in portions. Eg. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and small snacks in between when hungry such as fruits or crackers.

20 pounds I second that... 2 hours of aerobic exercise a day is a lot - definitely 1000kcal or more burnt.

But the key issue is your diet. You need to be more objective about calorie counting - calculate how much your main meals will add up to, and then any additional food on top of that. If you can match your intake to your basal metabolic rate, then you stand to lose around 1kg per week.

You'd notice a big difference. Clothes fit, happiiness up, increased productivity. Mirrors agree, opposite gender checks you out. Compliments. Your crush gives you undivided attention. Perhaps even a promotion.

If you did 2 hours of cardio you would burn 5-600 calories/hour conservatively. So you'd burn at least 1,000 calories a day. If your diet is constant and you don't take in more or less than what it takes to maintain your weight you would lose weight at 3,500/1,000 or a pound every 3.5 days. 3,500 calories burned would mean a pound lost. Considering your cutting out junk food, along with I think you mean soda, and the calorie loss is conservative, you will likely lose weight even faster. One week would be around 2+ pounds lost so in 8 weeks I'd say a good 16, maybe 20 pounds lost.

3 rules you must NOT IGNORE: Diet, Exercise, and Sleep

Running will make you lose weight but its not gonna get rid of that tummy.

If you want a tight tummy, you need to include solid exercise into your workout, as in doing crunches. AND you need to cut your consumption of food and that means eliminating "snacks".

Have a good well balanced diet, and limit it to only breakfast, lunch, dinner. You want to get rid of that tummy? Then let go of the snacks.

Running will do you a world of good health-wise, but if you want body sculpting results, DIET IS MORE IMPORTANT..and you'll get much quicker results, especially around your middle. Running by itself won't help a whole lot if you don't pay attention to what you eat, both how much and how well.

What people don't seem to get about 'dieting' is that (if you're just focusing on fat loss) it's not about whether you eat foods you perceive as 'healthy'. It's about literally how much energy you intake.

Count your calories. Every thing you put in your mouth has an energy/caloric value.

Find out your bmr and multiply it by your activity rate.

If you want to be on a caloric deficit, eat at least 500 cals under your calculated bmr to see results.

Don't bother. Girls are more likely to be in a real relationship of they're fat! I know that there is a whole group of society that prefers thicker women. Don't bother, running is boring anyway!

This is not something I'm doing to get into a 'real' relationship or to please a certain group of society. I am doing it for myself so I feel much more comfortable in my own skin. Thanks anyway!

Source? from what I can find, girls get in a relationship, and then get fat. Don't mix up cause and effect.

As a matter of fact, I am in a relationship already - have been for 9 months. And I must admit that I have gained a couple in the past couple of months!

Your BMI I well within a healthy range I too must say that I wouldn't bother.
