What is a good healthy eating plan for a teenage girl?

I am happy with my size at the moment but i think i could be healthier, i dont want to go on one of those diets and loose heaps of weight, i just want to have a healthy body. Are there any simple sugestions to help me keep on track with my healthy eating?

A healthy diet is easy to say but hard to stick with.

Â· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.

Â·

Â· When you deprive your brain,(your brain craves sugar) the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautÃ©ed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.

2) limited or no meat. Read Dr. Campbellâ€™s book â€œthe China Studyâ€

3) nothing fried-saute with some olive oil, extra virgin(from first pressing)

4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories

5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.

6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.

7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. And is loaded with pus and bacteria check out www.notmilk.com

8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit

9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.

10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and Juice Plus+

http://www.juiceplus.com/nsa/pages/Home....

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.

12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

just eat what u usually eat just dont eat too much.

-fruits

-vegies

-whole grain/wheat breads/pasta/brown rice/oatmeal

-low fat dairy(2% milk, yogurt, low fat ice cream or frozen yogurt, low fat cheese)

-lean protein/meats like chicken, turkey, egg whites)

-nuts/seeds...peanut butter is VERY healthy if u eat 2 tablespoons and stay within that limit

-beans

NSACKS

-baked lays chips

-cheesesticks

-100 calorie packs

-breyers double churned(and no added sugar) ice cream

-chocolate peanut butter ricecakes

-frozen fruit with fat free cool whip

-quaker chewy granola bars

-fruit pops

-lean pockets

-chocolate milk

-graham crackers

-vegies and dip

-pretzels and fat free cream cheese

atleast 1800-2200 calories a day...and its ok to indulge on junk sometimes...

Well everyones heard of the five of portions of fruit & vegetables a day so try and eat that much fruit & vegetables in a variety of colours (different coloured f&v have different nutrients in them). Too much salt & sugar is bad for you so dont pig out on sweets, chocolate or salty food like fries too often. Vegans are usually the healthiest of people because meat & dairy products have things in that are bad for your body, red-meat is the unhealthiest. And drink lots of water instead of fizzy drinks, fizzy pop doesnt have anything healthy in it.

There is a website www.MyPyramid.gov, it is free and all you do is type in your age, weight, activity level and it provides a balanced plan for your dietary needs. Good Luck!

depends how old you are it differs from 13 to 15 and 15 to 18 and so on

How important is healthy eating for your fertility?

I'm planning on starting my family in a couple of years (God willing) and i've been looking at my diet now... I am slim but I do eat a lot of junk food... I have started my healthy eating regime today.

But how important is it to eat healthily, how does it affect fertility?

Thanks in advance!

it is very important to eat healthily, as it is for your own health and eventually the health of your baby. you need to get all the essential nutrients, and this is not possible from a diet high in junk food. once pregnant you will feel lethargic etc, and this is because the growing baby takes all the best parts of your ingested vitamins, minerals etc, for itself, leaving you with not much, so you need to make sure you eat enough for both of you. your diet now will affect your menstrual cycle. also the diet affects the health of your body tissues. if you have a bad duet your tissues will be in poor health, so your uterus will not be in the optimum state for implantation of the foetus to take place. good luck!

I think our diet has a much bigger affect on fertility than we imagine. I suspect I have PCOS and since I 'self diagnosed' myself about 5 weeks ago I have been eating more fruit, veg and legumes, and less 'bad' carbs like white bread and potatoes, and my last cycle was so much more 'normal' than any other I have had in my life. I also believe I ovulated last month, and this is rare for me.

Theres some new research out from Harvard this year on it, and I think a new book out. Newsweek did a cover story on it, back in something like April. If you google around for it, its probably not to hard to find.

How do I get enough motivation to stick to a diet and lose weight?

I know more about weight loss, healthy diet and everything that goes with it than most dieticians, but I just can't seem to get the mindset that will allow me to start and then stick to an eating plan.

I have lost weight a number of times before - 35kg once, but my motivation just isn't there now.

How do I get it back? And keep it!

If you set goals, I think it makes it a loooot easier.

Think about if you have any specific events coming

up, like a wedding, parties, event, etc. Then you can

set a goal of about 2 pounds each week. If you keep

telling yourself that you can do it, and start seeing

results, you will ultimately have the drive to continue

working your way to optimal health.

Take Care and Good Luck (: (:

My motivation isn't the one most people advise. Weight loss seems to have become this lovey-dovey no-tears environment that's all about being "positive" and surrounding yourself with supportive people and forgiving yourself..... yeah, none of that **** really works.

What works for me (and may for you too) is I'm really mean to myself. I call myself "fatty" and "porky" in my head when I start to think about bad foods. If I give in, I make myself do a really hard workout and think "move it fatty!"... I also take plenty of time to stare at my faults in the mirror and focus on how much I hate them and want them gone.

This negativity has helped me far more than any "positive" attitude towards weight loss ever has. Good luck tubby. =)

If you lost weight before put up pictures of how you were BEFORE and AFTER. And next to the AFTER picture put one of you NOW and label a blank page next to it...FUTURE. It will make you interested to see how you become.

Also, watch a lot of E TV, looking at the super skinny celebs is enough to make someone give up the brownies for good.

Three steps that have really helped me are dieting, exercising, and the correct weight loss supplement for losing weight. Focus on those three things and you will lose weight considerably. I exercise 30 mins a day along with taking Proactol, a natural weight loss supplement that I saved money on at theweightlossplace.com

Good luck and stay focused = )

let me ask you this, can you do it for a year, no if you look at it in that perspective. can you do it for a day, yes, then do it day by day and stop thinking about how many years weeks/months it's gonna take.

Will power. Or look yourself in the mirror a lot for a long period of time and if you're unhappy with it that should be motivation. Or trust someone you know to force you to stick to it.

Try The â€˜Naughty but Niceâ€™ Diet at

http://www.geocities.com/robertalabaster/Naughty_but_Nice_Diet/Naughty_but_Nice_Diet.htm

I know it sounds kind of stupid but I bought a really cute bikini and I have it hanging up in my room. When I need a little more motivation I put it on and look in the mirror. Its worked for me so far!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

If you don't have it, you don't have it. Maybe it's time you stop thinking that you're too overweight.

I think about how great it'd be to look better than girls my age at the beach, in clothes, and just in general with out my extra weight.

try to think u want to impress somebody and ull try! :)

or just think when ur eating something not healthy think something bad is happening to u (being fat)

just keep in mind the consequences that will come if you dont keep your diet... im not trying to be mean if it offends you, sorry

Think about how great your body/muscles will look after you work out.

think of all the guys you can get with

I am planning to lose weight and need help calculating how much I need to lose.?

I know I'm not terribly overweight, but I definitely want to shed some pounds and get into shape. Right now, I am 5'3" and 125lbs. I am thinking about buying an elliptical machine that will work the entire body, and joining that with a healthier eating plan. If anyone could tell me how much weight I need to lose that would put me at a healthy range, that would be great. I'll award them 10pts.

honey,

you're idea would sound great

if you needed to lose weight.

but you don't 5pounds tops!

ride you bike like 5miles everyday,

and you will shed those 5lbs fast! .

I like the workout machine idea=]

hope i helped Â©

Is this a good healthy days eating? any suggestions, tips? am i eating enough, too much?

BREAKFAST:

tea - no sugar, skim milk

plain porridge

SNACK: plum

LUNCH: Sushi - 150 cals - no raw fish

DINNER: Plain unbuttered jacket potato, side salad

drinking plenty of water too throughout the day,

i dont want to lose anymore weight, just mantain and be healthy. is this healthy eating plan okay?

You seem to be lacking protein & good fats in your diet. Also not enough of veggies. Otherwise, it looks OK.

I think the times when you eat e.g snack and so on are good but make sure your giving your body a wide variety each day such as more veg and proteins also if you are an energetic person that does a lot of sport then you might add a snack with more fat and carbs to the diet e.g crisps.

I think this is unhealthy eating. You should have a better diet than this one. You should just try a normal diet.

I hate being so vague. But how can i work out and lose weight while still obeying my parents?

I'm not allowed outside of my piece of property, and running on a treadmill makes me anxious and irritated. What's some good cardio i can do? (or any workout for that matter)

Any diet/healthy eating plans out there.

I need help to stop sitting on the computer and get fit.

for exercise maybe you can buy or download some kickboxing routine? or buy a tramp. 5 min on a tramp = 30 min on a treadmill. and it is Grrrrreat for your body.

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up.

Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb, 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick a exercise regime you like.

get a pedometer and take 10,000 steps everyday.

Exercise - things you can do in side are - skipping, aerobics, dancing,ect.

As for eating plans, you need at least 1800 calories a day. These should come from healthy foods with limited junk.

Don't cut out food groups, carbs are important, and so is fat and dairy and everything else. Just have to eat the right amounts of everything.

i feel sorry for you since u cant get out to the gym, park, or trails

get some free weights and do circuit training

i would try to convince the parents that you are going to the gym to stay healthy and fit or that u want to become a something like a figure competitor.... that way they will let u drive everyday to the gym and they will notice you results and give u more support

best thing to do for weight loss is a combination of cardio and circuit training....

best regards

Here is an excellent site with some wonderful options for you.

Help plan meals for my healthy eating plan?

Ok, so im 14. I'm just over 5Ft and i weigh 140Pounds. I want to lose some weight. My mums going shopping tomorrow and im going to give her a list of meals and healthy foods to buy , but i dont really no what to get. I HATE fish and red meat, even though fish is good for you and i hate mushrooms. If you could give me some meals and recipies for them that would be really helpful and how long will it take for me to lose a stone?

Best answer will get 10pts Thanks.

Always eat breakfast. Studies show that people who eat breakfast snack less during the day. Plan snacks... fresh fruit or raw vegetables are best. Cottage cheese sprinkled with cinnamon & some fruit make a nice light snack. Do some daily exercise. Maybe U could go for a daily walk with your Mom or a friend. Good luck.

First off, remember that to keep your metabolism up you need to eat every few hours. If you don't your body will go into starvation mode and start storing food as fat, which you are probably already aware of.

Good, wholesome, and filling meals include: Oatmeal! Like they say, this stuff really sticks to your gut. (In other words, it keeps you full for a long time. It's a complex carb, and your body needs time to digest it.) Yogurt! I live for this stuff. It works as a sweet substitution for a cookie when you have a sugar craving, and gets a milk serving in! I actually love to put a bit of yogurt on top of my oatmeal. It may sound a little strange, but people put milk and fruit on their oatmeal, so why not yogurt? I love trying different flavors in my favorite colors. It's fun!

Chicken breasts are awesome because not only are they low in calories, but you can cook them a bunch of different ways! Throw a couple in a frying pan with canned stewed tomatoes and a few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar for a quick, flavorful, and filling meal. Or fry some up with salsa, sprinkle with a bit of cheese, and roll up in a couple of corn tortillas for a yummy fajita! And don't forget your fruits and veggies. Experiment with cooking different combinations of vegetables in different ways, and you are sure to find some you enjoy. Throw a banana in a blender with a handful of strawberries, an orange, and some ice, and you have another alternative to satisfy a sweet tooth. Most of all, enjoy your new way of eating, knowing that you are doing the best possible thing for your body. Eating healthy can be delicious, and after a while you just may wonder how you ate junk in the first place!

Take chicken breasts and marinate them in Italian dressing, then bake or grill them. Salad is always good, and fresh vegetables, like beans. Fresh fruit. (Make a fruit salad). You need to start off by eating a breakfast that is high in fiber. Oatmeal is a good one. Followed by some sort of fresh fruit, and juice. Stay away from anything with white flour or white sugar.

This is rather short notice!!!! This will get you started for a week.... Ask more questions as you go.

Breakfast .... Cooked oats (or whole grain cold cereal)

low fat milk

fruit

snack piece of fruit or carrot sticks

Lunch Yogurt with fruit

and veggie juice

snack raw vegetable or fruit and a few peanuts

For dinner .... try eating with the family... smaller portions.

If you find eating with family is not practical ask specific questions for specific healthy meals such as ... What is a healthy way to cook chicken?

Snack whole grain cereal with milk.

Then the most important part of weight control is exercise.

Start walking 35 to 45 minutes every day. At first you can just stroll along. Each week walk a little faster and a little farther . You should reach your goal of 105 pounds in about 6 or 7 months.

I am assuming that at 14 you are not an experience cook... SOME of the recipes below are EASY ... all have very good directions.

Veggie Quiche

Start your day right with a quick veggie quiche â€" filled with cheese, spinach, and fresh vegetables. Add hot sauce for a spicier version. Enjoy with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of tomato juice.

More options:

Scrambled Eggs, Canadian Bacon, Spinach Frittata, Western Omelet, Yogurt, Coffee, Tea.

Grilled Chicken Salad

For lunch eat a grilled chicken salad on a bed of romaine with a delicious balsamic vinaigrette. Drink with a cold ice tea, diet soda, or sparkling water.

More options:

Chicken Caesar Salad, Cobb Salad, Roasted Portobello "Pizza," Poached Salmon, Seared Steak, Crab Salad, Veggie Antipasto.

Spicy Seared Tuna

For an elegant and delicious dinner, grill or sear fresh tuna with a spicy marinade. Serve with grilled vegetables, and salad.

More options:

Orange Roughy with Vegetables, Merlot Flank Steak, Broiled Lamp Chops with Mint Pesto, Roasted Chicken and Vegetables.

Options:

Laughing Cow cheese, turkey roll-ups, hummus and celery, tomatoes and cottage cheese, mixed nuts, and more!

Chilled Espresso Custard

Enjoy the rich, dark taste of espresso in this decadent baked custard.

More options:

Mocha Ricotta CrÃªme (similiar to an Italian cannoli) and after Phase 2, Lime Cheesecake, Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries, and Pears

got this at south beach diet online

Fish is really good for you - try to eat it twice a week (my doctor says)

Breakfast:

Small glass of Orange juice

1 slice of toast

1 egg - you need protein

small glass of orange juice

bowl of oatmeal with a few raisens & walnuts

Snack:

Banana or apple

Lunch:

#1 Tuna sandwich with lettuce & non-fat milk w/fruit

#2 Homemade vegetable soup & big salad w/non-fat dressing

#3 Non-fat cheese sandwich w/lettuce, tomato & homemade soup in a thermos

#4 Non-fat cottage cheese salad w/fruit & soup in thermos

#5 Romaine, pear, walnut & feta cheese salad w/non-fat raspberry dressing w/slice of bread & thermos of soup

Afternoon snack:

#1 raw veggies w/non-fat ranch dressing

#2 non-fat cottage w/half of peach or pear

Dinner:

#1 one skinless baked chicken breast w/green vegetable (spinach is great or broccali) and one small baked potato or 1/2 of a large one.

#2 taco salad - line plate with tortilla chips or original Frito chips (not too many - a thin layer) sprinkle with Veggie Shreds "cheese" or non-fat cheese, then layer with chili or chili beans from a can, and top with shreded lettuce chopped tomato, chopped olices, green onions, salsa, avacado pieces, and non-fat dressing. I make my dressing with non-fat mayonnaise mixed with salsa. Yummy!

#3 turkey breast slice with mashed potato & non-fat gravy, green vegetable & salad.

#4 Fish sticks (3-4) (you might like crispy thin ones best) with lemon juice or malted vinegar, baked potato wedges, green vegetable (or green salad).

#5 Vegetable casserole w/ salad.

#6 Green Salad w/non-fat dressing and homemade French Onion Soup w/piece of French bread.

#7 Steamed rice & steamed veggies with peanuts (stir-fry style) w/soy sauce

SOUPS: make homemade ones because they are less expensive, more nutritious, and I've heard canned ones have too much salt and MSG which is really bad for you. Help your Mom make a big pot of each soup and freeze them into individual or family-size servings.

BEVERAGES: NO SODAS OR SUGARY DRINKS, NO ALCOHOL. Drink water, 100% pure juices, non-fat milk.

WATER: Drink 6-8 8 oz.glasses per day.

PROTEIN: from beans, chicken, turkey, egg, nuts (but don't overdo the nuts because they are high in fat and calories - just one handful is a serving. Beans are really good for you. Make a sandwich spread of mashed garbanzo beans, finely chopped celery, finely chopped onion, sweet or dill pickled relish, parsley, and non-fat mayonnaise. Season with black pepper and a little salt.

GRAVY: Make non-fat gravy with flour and chicken flavored broth disolved in water. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.

VEGGIES: Green veggies and raw carrots are a must - they are healthy and help your skin, too.

POTASSIUM: Eat a banana or serving of potato (one small one or half of a big one) daily.

MAYONNAISE - use non-fat only

DESSERTS: Non-fat ice cream or non-fat frozen yogurt or two non-fat fig newton cookies

SWEET CRAVINGS: eat a tablespoon of frozen juice concentrate

EVENING SNACK: air-popped only popcorn w/Molly McButter sprinkle or a melted non-fat buttery spread like "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray."

I like allrecipes.com

Oh yes, my doctor also says walk 1/2 hour every day (even if it rains or snows!). Maybe you can get your Mom or whole family to go with you.

Find an activity you like like dance or yoga in you are not already in a phys. ed. class.

Blessings and love to you!

Have a look online for recipes :). You're asking a lot for people on a general answers web site to give you a list of meals and a heap of recipes on here to help you out :(.

Finding healthy recipes/meals online is easy... try www.google.com and then type "Healthy Recipes" in the search field to find what you want. If you want to narrow your search down you can always do things like "Healthy Recipes" + Chicken, etc, to find chicken recipes, etc...

Has anyone lost weight by eating less/healthier and drinking more water? How much & how long did it take?

I know I need to exercise, but I have to do one thing at a time. Once I get good eating habits down I plan on including exercise in my weight loss plan. Its just in the past I always failed when I tried to do it all at once. Kinda looking for a lil motivation to keep up the good habits I started for the new year. Thanks for any responses!

I lost 65 pounds in 4 months i cut out beef and pork and anything fried!! I did not eat after 6 pm I lost weight fast and still drank wine ! I ate 1 Breakfast jack w/o meat and took off the top bun,

for lunch a chicken salad from whataburger with fat free italian dressing, and for dinner a chicken breast with veggies or side salad! I would drink a lot of water and when I went out I drank red wine. I went from a size 18 to a size 8!!! These guys in my class use to make fun of me being fat, and in 4 months they were asking me out!! I said no because by then I was out of their league!!! For snacks I ate pretzles only a few!!

Weight loss is impacted more by what you eat not exercise. Although exercise will definitely make your body healthier it is not necessary to lose weight. Cutting 500 calories a day will result in a 1 lb weight loss/week. Since that is quite a bit of food sometimes it's easier to stick with a "diet" if you do exercise because it will allow you to eat the same amount of food you are accustomed to. So to answer your question...yes you will lose weight IF you eat less/healthier and drink more water to help your body clean itself out and work more efficiently.

I lost 30 lbs in about five months, and just added walking to my exercise. I stopped eating fast food, or if I "had" to I got grilled chicken sandwiches and drank water. I tried to drink as much water as I could stand, in fact. I also started keeping track of my weight by using the website I posted below. It is free -- no gimmicks or anything, and it helped me A LOT. I didn't follow their food plans, but I became VERY aware of every meal! Good luck.

http://www.sparkpeople.com

I lost 80#'s in 6mo's when i cut all carbs and filled up on veggie's and fruit and chicken. and i didn't even excersize.

I tried to lose weight for years, ate less, went vegan, etc. nothing worked because it was boring and I didn't stick with it.

2 years ago I finally went to Weight Watchers, it was very helpful and motivating and the point system made it pretty easy - you decide what is worth eating toward your points - that simple.

I ate enough, but thought about it before I ate food high in calories (points) and subsituted veggies, whole grains, fruit, lean meat.

The weight came off slowly, this is not a diet, it is a whole new way of eating, not difficult once you get started and you have some points for that splurge when you really want it.

Took me about 6 months, but I didn't starve myself or go crazy exercising, though I did walk almost every day, but not really fast, just at least a half to an hour - I lost 40 lbs, and got back to a size 4. Was not hard or unpleasant at all - I would recommend that over fad diets any day.

Good luck.

Can anyone help me with an exercise plan/healthy diet/lose weight?

I want to lose weight, but I don't want to go on a diet. I just want to eat healthily and exercise regularly. I've got an 8ft trampoline but it doesn't seem to do anything for weight loss.

I've got a few problems though:

1) 5 portions of fruit and veg a day:

The only fruit I like is grapes.

The only veg I like are carrots (cooked), turnips, and sprouts

2) I haven't got enough money to join a gym or anything

3) My parents don't let me go outside of the garden as they say it's not safe. Therefore I can't go on a bike ride or a run.

I want to tone my thighs, bum and belly as well as losing weight and becoming fit.

What exercises can I do to help achieve this?

Thanks!

you say your parents won't let you go outside of the garden how old are you? and do you need to lose weight or are you still growing?

Hey! Stop eating radioactive Skittles! I'm just joking, I couldn't resist! I think it's a cute name. OK, to tone your thighs and backside, lunges, lunges, lunges! For your belly, sit ups, lots of sit ups. A trampoline seems alright, but I would think it would take forever to lose weight bouncing on it. Why can't you go in your garden? Why can't you ride your bike? Does your school have a gym (I'm assuming you are in high school?) If so, ask your gym teacher if you can come in the morning before school starts to get a workout in. Most teachers are cool with that. You need to learn to like more fruits and veggies, also. Your diet plays a bigger role in losing weight. You can actually lose weight without exercising if your diet is right (coming from my personal trainer husband!) Going off of the info that you posted in your question, I think with some tweaks, you can get to your goal even with the restrictions you have. Don't give up, don't eat junk or a lot of carbs, increase the amount of water you drink and eat more fruits and veggies!

How old are you, and what height/wight are you?

The amount of fruit and veg you like is very limited, so I would seriously urge you to try other fruit and veg, or you can also do what my friend does for her todler - she steams different kinds of veg and when in cools she puts in in the blender with some yoghurt and/or milk and fruit juice - this way you will still get the necessary vitamins and fibre and you might actually learn to enjoy it.

As you can't join a gym and can't leave the garden (seriously, how old are you???) I'd say your best option is to get some kind of exercise dvd that specifically targets the areas you want to tone. Also, some exercises you can do in your parents garden:

Sprints

Skipping rope (this is a great exercise, but build it up slowly. First see how long you can do it for - do this 3x a week and add 1 minute onto your time every week, once you can do it for at least 10 minutes straight without tripping or having to stop try hopping on alternate legs).

Mat-exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, etc.

Lastly - please think carefully about whether you really need to loose weight - you sound like you are fairly young and generally children under the age of 16 should not be dieting unless they are seriously overweight, like obese overweight. You can calculate your body-mass-index (BMI) to see if you are really overweight (just google BMI) as often our own body-image is not entirely accurate. If your BMI tells you that you are not overweight but you really feel like certain areas need toning up then by all means exercise, but don'tover do it as you are probably still growing. And don't diet, just concentrate on eating healthy.

If your BMI says that you are overweight then please also discuss this with your parents and doctor because if you are as young as I think you are you really should get their help and support on this.

Good luck!

I also wonder how old you are and if you truly need to diet? Either way, a great resource that is online & free with lots of great information is sparkpeople.com Check it out, I'm sure you will find what you're looking for there.

Lets put it straight. Losing weight is not that hard, You will never hear me say that it is. All it takes is dedication, motivation and hard workAlways check in gradients of everything you are buyingRelaxation, stress and strain never allow people to be slim.

you should eat a good breakfast always with fruit, lunch always with salad.don't snack so much don't eat so many sweets don't eat fast food and for dinner have something light.but don't say that you won't eat this and that and everything coz it will only make you want it more.you know what i mean?just don't eat so much the food that make you gain weight.as for exercise you should walk or run or use the stairs.every little thing helps.abs will help with your belly i think, so it would be a good idea!i hope i helped!

Losing weight the healthy way.

So, Im in a bit of a pickle right now. I want to lose weight, the healthy way. I've tried many diets out there, which werent health for me at all. I'm 16 years old, and Im a bit overweight. I just want to be in shape. I need a good healthy eating plan, &excercising plan. What are some foods to avoid, and what are some foods to eat? Lets say I only have two weeks. I dont want a drastic diet thats going to be impossible. But yet, I want something that'll make it noticeable that I did shed some pounds. Any tips? Your help would be greatly appreciated (=

First of all the most important thing is to narrow down what your eating and how often you eat...

Eating at precise times a day and keeping it a routine is important. Eating randomly is a bad habit we develop which is usually one of the main causes of our weight gains.

I suggest having a normal diet, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

As for work outs, you could always join a gym. But if your on a budget then i suggest you go out every day, run, walk, play sports etc. But keep a routine. You can also do simple work outs at home like sit-ups, push-ups or simple aerobics.

First of all, couple of links to help you out.

The BBC site shows you a graph of healthy eating and weight range. Just check again if you like...

But to lose weight, you need to eat healthily, drinking plenty of water, eating at least 5 portions of fruits and doing a range of exercises, could be jogging for half-an-hour, using some exercise equipment to lower the amount of fat in your body. There are many things you can do to slim yourself.

To start off, do the first, very important thing, start eating healthily. Avoid sugary snacks and fat food, junk, I shall say.

Then slowly start doing some exercises, could be curls, dips and so on. You could also use some exercise equipment, like a treadmill, or even a abs-machine.

some sites to show you;

These are a couple of many things you could do to start you off.

I hope this helps!

You should read up on good carbs and bad carbs.

Pretty much just stay away from breads, pastas, crackers, etc. that aren't made with whole wheat. Things like white bread and pretzels don't keep you full and as a result you'll end up eating more food and more calories.

This may not work for you, but eat throughout the day. I eat every 2-3 hours constantly. Just make sure you're eating good things, fruits, veggies, a cup of whole grain cereal, maybe some whole grain toast.

For sweets and things don't go for the no sugar or low sugar crap. Things like Splenda are absolutely terrible for your body. Terrible! Here me? TERRIBLE! Hahah okay, enough of that. But anyways, for sweet things you should try the Stella D'Oro almond toast things, if they sell them where you are. They're really yummy. :] Also the chocolate covered soy nuts from the south beach diet are good too.

Oh, and drink tea! But not with meals because the caffeine won't allow your body to absorb some minerals like iron.

Healthy weight loss is 1-3 lbs per week. You can do this by achieving a calorie deficit of approximately 500 calories per day. This should be done through exercise and caloric restriction.

One thing to keep in mind is that you should consume no less than 1500 calories per day.

I actually lost weight in 2 weeks but I wasn't motivated the right way because it was from depression hahah. But it worked anyways because I had to do cardio in pe (try running or anything that'll keep your heart racing for about 20 minutes straight) and I had a loss in appetite that only made me want to eat ONE big meal a day for 2 weeks. So i ended up losing 5 noticable pounds. You don't have to eat just once a day because your body actually makes fat when you binge or not eat for hours. Just eat 5 SMALL meals a day instead of 3 big ones(like breakfast, lunch, dinner) along with your diet. That all adds up to diet & excercise.

Watch this video, and see if this may be your solution:

go here: www.newhappyme.com -- and click on the watch video link

I lost 20 pounds in 9-days on the program. It's a 9-day cleanse and it works. It's not a diet because you're getting everything your body needs. Watch the video and they'll tell you how it's a safe and healthy way to lose the weight. I'd be glad to tell you more about it and my whole experience with it if you're interested just contact me at tony@newhappyme.com

Breakfast: Yogurt.

Lunch: Salad.

Dinner: Chicken with veg.

Snacks: Fruit.

With this you will lose the weight quickly but heathily.

Only drink water and run for 30 minutes a day.

These might help aswell, there really good search them on youtube as yahoo won't let me post them :

I need a lose weight fast plan...what to eat and do... and I dont exactly have much time do do it...???

I work mon thru friday and have difficulty eating right and finding time to excercise... I am over my desired/healthy weight and would like to lose 20 pounds total...I want a healthy way to lose the weight though...nothing that will harm me or my body.I have pilates and yoga tapes to work with and can walk at a near by park as work out options... of course any other recommendations you have for working out in my home (different excercises) would be helpful too... any ideas please throw them my way...:) thanks.

These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.

The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.

For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.

If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

You might think about trying this book called "The Movie Star Diet" by Steve Simmons. It helped me lose thirty pounds in 2 1/2 months when I didn't think anything would work. My goal to begin with was only 20 lbs! It has a really easy plan to follow and an excellent workout as well.

try eating moer veggies and friut they have little carbs but have the rite sugars to keep you going through your work day. and in stead of walking try runnig twice a week for like 20 min. and good luck on loosing your weight

Weight Watchers is a good plan, you can join or do an on line program or go to meetings...www.weightwatchers.com and it sound like you have the tools to exercise. I love to run. you could also go for walks on your breaks.

Hey, it's almost New Years. What a great time to make a resolution to lose weight! I wish you the best of luck in it.

You really have to look at two areas of your life and adjust them to match your goals:

* Diet

* Exercise

You simply can't get around these two facts. You have to consume fewer calories than you burn each day to loose weight. So if you don't change your diet, then you'll have to exercise more. Frankly, it's easier to adjust both things. Eat less, or eat smarter and exercise moderately. You don't have to go overboard. A 20 minute walk around the block is exercise.

Find someone who can share the goal with you. Another overweight friend who will walk with you. That helps a lot. You can encourage each other.

Here are a few other resources that might be helpful to you:

Good luck! Hopefully this time next year, you'll be a fraction of your former self ;)

Like it or not time is what you do need. Unhealthy to use a time table on your body.

Try reading some healthy and weight loss magazines or you can go on the South Beach Diet. Or you can also call Jenny. I think the number is 1-800-Jenny-20 or 1-866-Jenny-20. Just call one of those numbers and see if they help.

Where do I start with healthy eating/losing weight?

I actually have a few health related questions. I'm 300lbs (5' 6" and 21), a mother of 2 (4, and 1), and I'm looking to lose weight in a HEALTHY way. No diet drugs, or fad diets. I've nixed all fast food, and junk food in my house but don't know what to replace it with. I've cooked healthy meals the last few days, but have had to deal with critics (my husband and son, who is now refusing to eat). I need some GOOD food ideas, what to replace the junk with, and any ideas for an exercise plan that is good for someone of my weight (or a recommended website to help). I'm just struck with complete confusion as to what to do, and how to start. I have TONS of veggies and fruit in the house but everyone is saying there's nothing to eat. Help!

My goal is to be organic eater/cook, and more so healthy by mid-2008!

Thanks in advanced!

Sounds like you need to make healthier foods that your family will actually eat.

Pizza - Make it with wholegrain crusts.

Burgers - Replace beef burgers with lean beef, turkey burgers, or as I do, veggie burgers. Place it on a wholegrain bun. Cook it with spray-oil, not liquid oil, or grill it.

Seafood is always a really easy choice, and you can always add a baked potato to the side. Your hubby can add sour cream and butter, and you can add parmesan cheese, ricotta, or salsa for a healthy alternative.

Wholegrain pasta is another easy replacement; so is sweet potatoes as a high-fibre alternative to regular french fried potatoes.

Make sure when you have veg or fruit that there's something 'snacky' to do with it, like having peanut butter or hummus to dip veggies in, or having the fruit sliced into a pre-made fruit salad, or having vanilla yogurt as a dip.

Yogurt, sliced fruit, and granola also makes a delicious and very fancy looking parfait if you layer them in a glass.

Bagels are easy to slice into low-fat bagel chips made in the oven, and jars of unsalted, unroasted nuts are a really filling snack full of healthy fats. Baked cornchips and salsa or homemade guacamole are another, and low fat popcorn is a great snack.

Remember to stay strong with your healthy eating habits - by introducing your little one to healthy food now, you'll spare him plenty of trouble in the future.

I started by cooking myself a BIG meal, bacon, chips... Just lotsa fat! Haha! I ate everything id be craving for!

So i took that meal and ate it alone, naked infront of the mirror...

Afterwards i weighed myself.

It was a real KICK up the backside for me.

So i started my diet plan. Drink ONLY water and milk. Everything else must GO!

No tea or coffee... No orange squash. Nothing.

As for snacks, i didnt. I would just chew on sugar-free gum 24/7.

Kept the cravings away no problem.

For meals, id eat either: (Easy stuff, no need for recipes.)

Tuna pasta - NO salt/mayo/other

Baked potato - Either beans or cheese or tuna. NO salt/other

Chicken salad - Or other salad, NO dressing/salt/other

Tuna roll - Or other, such as cheese/salad etc.

Well, you get the idea. For breakfast id ALWAYS eat porridge or oatmeal. Nothing else, and NOTHING ontop.

No chocolate or other sweets... And most importantly:

NO EXCERSIZE!

Just cutting out all the sugar and crap in my diet, and resuming my everyday routine....

I lost two stone in three months. =]

Hope this helps.

Healthy Eating/Exercise Plan?

Alright, 5'5 1/2, 153Ibs. wanting to lose 20 Ibs. and keep it off.

I walk/jog 1 mile every other day, and lift about 5 pound weights on each arm for about 30 minutes each (1 hour total) once a week. This is all I can really think of doing on my budget (no gyms in other words) and my arms kill me after the weight lifting.

I eat 1 egg cooked in no butter, on one piece of american cheese, and an english muffin for breakfast. Baby carrots and celery sticks until supper, and supper is on a heart healthy recipe.

Except, I'm not losing weight. What more can I do?

in order of priority:

1. 3-4mi. per week isn't enough, try at least 3-4 each time, you shouldn't stop the whole time and keep a good steady pace, you're not pushing yourself hard enough.

2. you'd be much better off lifting 50lbs. for three minutes than lifting 5lbs. for 30min. Obviously I don't want you doning 50lb. curls, but take it up a bit 20lbs probably (I know money is tight, I understand TRUST ME) you shouldn't lift arms more than 12-15min. total. And 2-3X a week will do much better. There are many great exercises you can do with a pair of dumbells. look up:

squat and press

shoulder press

dumbbell bench press

flys

snatches

etc... plenty of them out there

you need to work more muscles, more weight, harder work, less time.

3. Diet, I don't think your eating enough, count your calories for a day or two, there's plenty of sites out there to do this. make sure you are getting 12-1500 cal. a day at a minimum.

take the intensity up, push yourself, and you'll get where you want to go.

I can suggest you the following:

Start a diet - Japanese diet or other diet you like

Exercise - continue walking

Change the diet after two weeks - start new one, continuing exercising. The secret is the body not to get used with the particular diet

Do not give up if you do not lose weight as fast as you want. The body needs time to react.

Other tips and working diets

www best-fat-burn-stategies com

Eat a lunch(besides celery and carrots), count your calories (you need like 1400 or 1500). Run for longer time periods. You don't need to lift for 30 minutes straight-JEESH! Don't hurt your arms. good luck.

How do I lose weight with-out losing my boobs??

Im 5'2 and weigh 133. Im supposed to be between 108 and 121. I really want this extra weigh off by the end of May. But I don't want any diet plans or anything. I plan on eating healthy. How do I lose weight but at the same time keep my boobs

If you're overweight, some of the excess fat is stored in the fat cells of the mammaries and losing weight on a weight loss or any other kind of diet will also mean a reduction in size of your breasts.

Don't worry about it, lose the weight and your breasts will look perky and fine..especially if you're a nice person to begin with, then your appearance will be unimportant in the overall scheme of things.

Dont be silly, weight gets loss evenly throughout your entire body. I suggest a self help book in loving yourself the way you are. And India Arie's song "Video" sing that out loud every day and internalize it.

Good luck sweetie.

You can't spot which places you lose weigh (or which places you don't). Just be happy that you will have a slimmer body.

Why can you only lose 1-2lbs a week and no more on a diet/weight loss plan?

I was just wondering why people say you should lose weight slowly, other wise you will end up putting it all back on?

I have just started a diet and losing 1-2lbs a week is slow as hell and its annoying because i want to lose 20lbs and that means it could take me 10-20 weeks!!!! i would like to lose it before then!

i was thinking about trying to lose 3-4 lbs a week and get the weight off faster.

Because yes they say if you lose weight fast you will end up putting it all back on, but i think that is bull, i think it is down to the eating habits you go back to when you finish your diet and reach your goal

Like if you lose 20lbs fast and then eat junk and crap like you use to of course you are going to put it all back on!

BUT say if you lose 20lbs fast-ish (3-4lbs a week) and then once you have reached your goal you change your eating habits, exercise regular and keep an eye on your weight and maintain it, losing 3-4 lbs weekly shouldnt be a probleme right????

Im female - 17 -128lbs/9stone2 and i want to get down to 108lbs/7stone10!

(yes i know i am in my 'healthy weight range' but i am/feel/look a lot healthier and happier at my goal which is also in my 'healthy weight range')

So what do you think?

Do you think its okay for me to drop 3-4lbs a week and manage to keep it off when i reach my goal?

Because i sure as hell dont plan on returning to my old eating habits which is what made me put on weight in the first place!

And im eating very healthy at the moment (1500cals) and love it

And i do about 1 hour of exercise daily and feel great doing it

So im 100% sure i can drop weight at a faster level and keep it off

But i want to see what other people say, the ones who are determind to say that you should only drop 1-2lbs a week????

thanks x

There are 3500 calories in a lb. In order to lose one lb, you must burn 3500 calories more than you eat.

The reason that people say if you lose weight quickly you will wind up putting it back on is because:

A) In order to lose quickly, many people put themselves on starvation diets (anything under 1000 calories a day is considered a starvation diet) and they ruin their metabolism, so they stop losing and wind up gaining

and

B) Oftentimes what is actually lost in these types of diets is water weight, not actual weight.

3-4 lbs a week isn't totally unreasonable, depending on how overweight you are. If your focus (as far as losing the extra 1-2 lbs a week) is more on calories burned, you'll be able to do it and keep it off. Don't decrease your calories too much (don't go under 1200/day) or you'll mess with your metabolism and wind up gaining. Focus more on exercise instead.

How many calories do I need to plan on consuming on a daily basis in order to lose weight?

I would like to start on an eating plan to control the type 2 diabetes I have and to lose weight so my blood sugar levels can get back to normal.

I have never excercised before and am quite sedentary. If I commit to walking one mile per day to start and my weight is close to 400 lbs. .... By combinning the walk every day and following a caloric intake of healthy meals....How many calories per day should I consume in order to lose the weight?

I would like to get down to at least 125-130 lbs. My goal is to get healthy, much thinner and get control of this disease or totally eradicate the need to be on medication by acheiving this. Is it too late for me?

I am fed up with being unhealthy!

PS: I am a female 45 years old and am 5'3 inches tall.

It is NEVER too late and I truly applaud you for aspiring to get healthy. It is very difficult to break old eating habits, but if you stick with it, I assure you it is more than possible. Just remember it took a while to put the weight on and therefore it will take some time before it comes on, but do not give up!My dad is a type 2 diabetic as well and I know it makes dieting harder because your appetite is affected, just snack on protein bars (I like Luna bars...but they do have sugar in them) and fruits and veggies. The more healthy your food, the more of it you can eat. My dad always carries raisins around with him in case of low blood sugar.

As far as how many calories you should consume, please calculate your BMI (body mass index--included a link below) and from there you can calculate how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. Then from there you can come up with a healthy exercise plan. One pound is generally equal to 3,500 calories so that is why it is healthiest to shoot for a 1-2 pound weightloss per week. In the begining however you will probably shed pounds a lot quicker just by begining to exercise and eat healthy. This may seem daunting, but you will ultimately have changed your life, you'll feel better, have more energy, and most importantly it will help control your diabetes.

From the info you gave, I figured out your body needs about 5,280 calories a day to stay at your current weight. So if you eat 500 calories less per day AND exercise off 250 calories per day then you will lose 1 1/2 pounds per week. You can slowly decrease your calories by more as your body gets used to the changes.

Never ever consume less than 1,200-1,500 calories per day unless instructed by a doctor because you can put your health at risk.

Again, I think it is really commendable of you to be doing this and no matter how hard it may be or how much you just want to quit, don't! We've only got one life and it is never too late to try and make it better. I encourage you to read about the science of nutrition and fitness as I think it will help you in supporting your new lifestyle.

If you have any other questions, or are in need of support please feel free to email me! Good luck.

I've included some legitimate websites I think you would benefit from, including one on safe exercising and one telling you everything you need to know about healthy foods! I refer to that site all the time as they have recipes and meal plans too!

Oh, also I'm not a doctor just a health nut, so I feel obligated to tell you to see one (a Dr. not a nut...)so they they can approve your exercise and meal plans. Diabetes is very serious, as I'm sure you know, so just be careful and start slow!

i would speak with a nutritionist and they will calculate the number of calories you should intake for a day. They base it on your age, height and weight. Its NEVER too late. You are on the right track and before you know it you will be walking 2 miles each day. you can do it. I know its hard, but you already have the motivation. You should make a sign and post it somewhere that you will see it daily. Its a great saying that I have on my fridge:

Motivation is what gets you started,

Habit is what keeps you going!

Congratulations on revamping your lifestyle and wanting to make yourself healthy. Stick with it even when you don't think its doing any good. it is!! I would love to hear from you about your progress. I will help motivate you if you want it?

You should follow your doctors instructions!

Eat food in its natural state, and stay away from precessed foods. Fruits and Veggies and non-sweet trail mix for a small snack. DRINK MORE WATER!.... no More than than. Your pee should be clear, or almost clear. This will help you clean out the toxins in your body and help it heal faster.

Work on a daily routine that will help you feel good about yourself. Get the right amount of rest and maybe find a group of people with similar goals. Start out simple and add more exercise as you get into the fitness thing.

You have taken the first step and maybe the hades one, admitting your in need of a change.

Congrats on your new focus on healthy living. Dont give up!

about 1,300 calories a day

Do talk to your doctor and/or diabetes nutritionist to help you create a food plan that will work for you.

If you are currently maintaining, and not gaining weight, then reducing your caloric intake by 500 calories/day should cause you to loose one pound per week. It sounds slow, but you didn't gain it all at once, and you don't loose it (in a healthy way) all at once.

You could also increase your walking to burn 250 calories per day, along with a reduction of 250 calories per day and get the same results.

Here is a nifty site that might be of help: http://www.nutritionwerks.com/nt/hacalcal.asp

Can I really lose weight by eating 4 small "meals" a day?

Okay, I'm 14, I got on birth control about 4 months go and it's (i think) making me gain a lot of weight. I weigh 142 pounds. I want to weigh 110-115. I just found this thing online that lets you customize a meal plan for ever day. The meals are, of course, healthy. Can I get my target weight by eating those healthy small meals 4 times a day?

Sure, just make sure that you watch yourself and you make changes that fit your body because everyone is different.

I think that you (and anyone for that matter) should exercise a lot. But when you exercise you gotta stop looking at the scale because it might discourage you. But muscle weighs more than fat, thats why when you start working out you might think your getting fatter but your not. But if you start working out, you wont turn into muscle bob because your a girl and thats not how it works. You will become skinnier if you work out, you will be a lot toner which is always a plus, no giggle.

Good luck.

well....another **** up thats going to do porn....sad http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080626064709AAqh6pX&kid=H5tOEEXrJmHnUgFWQN3t&s=comm&date=2008-07-23+21%3A21%3A27&.crumb=

Oh yeah that is the downfall to birth control sometimes. But it is best to eat 4-5 small meals a day because it keeps your matabolism constantly working. You can also go to the gym a few times a week and that will help out alot. but it is ok to cheat once in a while! that makes it so that you can continue to stay on the diet long term. knowing that you can still have the things you want from time to time it stops the constant cravings for them. good luck

Probably.

Just make sure the meals are filling enough, so they don't leave you starving.

And exercise.

everyone is kinda different with how they gain weight, so try it for 2 weeks or so, and see how it goes!!

um well it depends on you metabolism but birth control can make you gain weight.

Get off the birth control. You shouldn't be having sex at 14 anyway!!

Will this diet plan help lose weight?whats the healthiest bread to eat?

I've got about 40kgs to lose and I'm eating

BREAKFAST: 2 weet-bix wit cup of skim milk

LUNCH: 2 slices of bread wit lean ham, tomato, low fat cheese, cucumber, lettuce,beetroot

DINNER: palm size meat(visible fat removed) or chicken breast wit pumpkin,peas,carrots,sweet potato.

SNACKS: a piece of fruit

EXERCISE: beginner yoga and beginner belly dancing nearly every day for 30mins each...

ALCOHOL:i have a couple of glasses of Bacardi and the no sugar coke a week

WOULD I LOSE MY EXCESS WEIGHT DOING THIS?

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

WHAT BREAD SHOULD I EAT?

You should lose some weight, however I would change your dinner slightly, by cutting out carbohydrates (ie the vegetables) and try a salad instead, fewer calories and you will encourage your body to burn fat stores while sleeping.

Breakfast sounds fine, but I would probably look at introducing a couple extra meals, believe or not if you add a couple smaller meals you will increase your metabolism, perhaps a shake or just something small, just to keep the fuel burning so to speak, also look at introducing some good fats, such as Omega 3 (salmon/tuna and flaxseed oil are great sources) as well as Avocado and raw nuts, these help mobilise the fat you already have.

Water intake is excellent, and the exercise is fine also, you want medium intesity (about 60% of your heart rate) to effectively burn fat stores) perhaps consider some power walking also, to try and get a bit more than 30min its really between 30-1hr that you really start to get the burning going.

Multigrain, Wholegrain, Soy and Linseed breads are all fine, basically anything thats not white :) are good bread choises.

Personally I would leave the alcohol, one drink a week wont do much for you, and it will probably keep you sane, you need to enjoy yourself too, losing weight has its mental effect to, and you deserve to have a drink for your hard work during the week, or you are more likely to give up if you have nothing to look forward to!

try combinations so that you don't get bored cut down on alchohol. no sugar is good but don't dring beverages auch as coke bc they increase sellulite. try wine instead of baccardi.GOOD LUCK...

breakfast - change to oatmeal porridge if possible - add l tsp each of psyllium, oat bran, l.s.a, and whey. add 1 dried prune, apricot & couple raisins.

midmorning snak - 1 apple

lunch - wholewheat or rye bread, or leb. wrap - alternate ham with chicken/canned fish (tuna, sardines, etc -oily with omega 3 read label)

dinner - have a raw vegetable salad or raw vegees & dip before dinner or as a first course

your dinner has too many carbs - change to chinese stir fry w lots of green vegetables or homemade vegetable soup with chinese cabbage in it.

absolutely stop drinking cola/any soft drinks/mineral water -

w or w/out sugar - it's very bad for your metabolism & endocrines

good luck girl - you'll do it by making these lifestyle changes!

What is a healthy amount of weight to lose in a month?

I'm a 22 year old female, about 5' tall, weigh ~118 pounds. I'm not trying to become anorexic, just want to lose some weight in the next month and am wondering what's a realistic expectation. I'm planning to exercise a few times a week and eat healthier.

With the plan you have in mind, aim for about 3 or 4 pounds.

Remember muscle weighs more than fat. You should be able to tone up, decrease your fat, gain muscle, and not see the numbers change on the scale at all! Your height and weight is not overweight at all. Get a fitness assesment of your fat to muscle ratio and go from there.

it doenst sound like you need to lose much if anything but try the lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezris

maybe you can try drink coffer

i'd say like 8-10 lbs a month.

they say you should lose no more than 2 lbs a week.

How does my eating plan/workout sound? How much weight can I lose?

tell me if my plan is going to help me lose 30 pounds in 4 months:

Breakfast: Grapefruit cut up, oatmeal w/ blueberries and water

Snack: Apple and some baby carrots

Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with extra green peppers w/ lemon juice and honey mustard on top

Snack: handful of grapes

Dinner: Salmon with peppers on top, Spinach, Steamed veggies..

Snack: yogurt

I drink water all day long and sometimes green tea/or homemade unsweetened ice tea. Of course I switch my meals around daily but all healthy foods. This was just my meal plan yesterday.

I workout for 90 mins/ hour treadmill and 30 mins doing weights and squats. I try to switch up my workouts too. I do treadmill everyday but on weekends only light pilates.

Can I lose 30 pounds in 4 or 5 months sticking with this? I've been doing this for 3 weeks and I've lost 5 pounds so far, I weigh 190. How soon can I see major results?

Thank you so much

Your plan sounds great, if you can stick with it. I'm sure you can lose 30 pounds in 4 or 5 months.

ignore that person w/ the post about the acai berry. i sure you figured it out already, but they're trying to con you and the acai berry is a scam.

even with a really good diet and work out plan, you should only lose 1-2 pounds each week. If you factor in the days when you'll lose control and eat unhealthily, I'd say your looking at about 15-20 pounds lost, which is still really good!

try calling your doctor, or schedule one meeting with a nutrition/weight loss specialist - I'm sure they'll know more than me!

this sounds like a really good plan..keep it up and you can lose alot of weight.

Does this sound like a good (and HEALTHY) plan to lose weight?

Ok, so when I wake up in the morning I work out. Three days a week I do 40 minutes of cardio (Dance Dance Revolution) and three days a week strength training (Wii Fit) on alternating days.

As far as meals, I eat Raisin Bran Crunch, blackberries, cherries, and orange juice for breakfast, cucumbers and red grapes for a mid-morning snack, half a turkey, swiss cheese, avocado, spinach leaves, and mayo sandwich on sourdough bread with baby carrots with a glass of milk for lunch, the other half of sandwich and raspberries as a second snack, fish some type of veggie (broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, ect) for dinner.

I lightly exfoliate with a salux body cloth everyday, and do a homemade body wrap once a week on the day that I don't work out. I've been losing about 2-5 lbs. a week. I know that's more than they say is healthy. Is there anything I should stop? I'm trying really hard to be healthy and make sure that I can keep the weight off. Thanks!

nope, sounds pretty healthy to me. as long as you aren't feeling hungry.

6 small meals a day is perfect to keep your metabolism going.

just make sure you drink a lot of water 10-12 cups.

and maybe start taking fish oil and vitamin supplements

good luck! and keep it up.

Do what ever works. I've also lost 2 kg a month, which is twice what they recommend.

How do I maintain a healthy weight?

About 5 years ago I was 12 years old and weighed 161 pounds. I began to notice that I was very chubby, so I started eating three healthy meals a day, and lost down to 140 pounds in 4 months. I continued to lose weight after that and now, I am 17 years old... I am 5'6". I weighed a few weeks ago and weighed 117! People say I am much too thin and bony, so basically, by stuffing myself until I am almost sick I have gained to almost 125 pounds. I would like to stay at 125 pounds. I don't want to look frail or too thin... I especially do not want to get an eating disorder! What is a good healthy eating plan to MAINTAIN 125 pounds?

Get regular exercise and continue to eat healthy. Go to this website, you put in your weight etc and it'll tell you how many calories you need to maintain your weight.

http://www.shapefit.com/dailycalorie-calc.html

Just eat about 1250 calories a day... if you eat more, once you accumulate 3500 calories you will gain one pound! (since 3500= 1 pound) If you start eating less, then you'll definitely start losing weight!

once you get chubby, then take one hour walks every day,

once you get used to it then start running.

do this daily.

Moderate exercise is a good appetizer.

How can I lose weight?* Women answers only*?

I am 5' 4 and I weight 150lbs; I am out of shape and I want to get down to maybe 135lbs by mid April. Do you have any workout /healthy eating plans that worked for? Maybe some exercise DVDs or something you got from a wbsite or magazine? Sports I could do? Anything would help.

*please not mean, rude or nonhelpful answers*

I know you said women only but as a trainer I couldn't pass this question up.

Do Pilates it's the perfect amount of cardio and will teach you great stretches and form.

Eating-- increase your water intake and decrease sodas, energy drinks all that high fructose and sugars.

Eat egg whites and wheat toast for protein in the morning (or drink a whey protein shake)

Grilled chicken and fish for lunch and dinner with brown rice, vegetables something low carb. Switch it up and add a salad with dinner and some fruit for dessert if you must.

remember not eating makes you store fat so keep your metabolism up by eating every 3-4 hours.

If you go to your local health and nutrition shop you can ask them for a eating plan and it will give you a list of foods that will be best for you.

You're not going to get 20lbs off by April but you will see a significant change in your body as you develop these habits in about 2-3 months.

1) the gym is a waste of money, either get one of the following:

-a friend to go on a jog with you

-a work out dvd

-a good CD, one that you can dance like crazy to (actually burns more calories than running on a treadmill, and far less boring)

2) this one's easy, just switch junk/fatty food for healthy stuff. Try just like having a big bowl of fruit salad in the fridge you can dip into. Bring a packed luch with you to work, it's cheaper and you won't get tempted by anything else if you already have something at hand.

3) drink 2 big glasses of water and eat 1 apple before every meal, by the time you've done that you'll think your full and you'll notice you'll eat way less.

4) don't lose it too quicky, one- it-s bad for you, two- you'll find it harder to keep it off, three- your skin will say.

5) have some sort of motivation, a dress in the size you want to get down too or dead line of some sorts are good.

6) stick to it.

7) when you lose weight you lose it from your face, hips and boobs first, so you have to do exercises if you want to target certian area.

8) don't do fad diets.

Hope that helps, and good luck :)

Hey! I'm glad you put no rude answers before-hand on here, people are really immature and mean sometimes, anyway, personally I don't think that diets and exercise work. My friend has done weight watchers and other programs with diets and so forth and NOTHING has worked. I on the other hand, used to take a energy/dietary supplement called "Stackers." I know your thinking skeptically on this but trust me, I lost 50 lbs in a month. No joke. People were like, 'Wow, you've lost a lot of weight!" All you have to do is eat something healthy and filling and then start out taking 1 after your meal then once you are used to it you can take up to two, but no more than two. Always eat before you take it, so your stomach won't be upset because it burns the food you eat right then and there. It really boosts your metabolism so you can burn that fat away quicker! Forget diets and exercise hello Stackers!!

Best of Luck to you :)

Start by eating healthier ie., watch your calorie intake that's very important. Exercise regularly, the best thing is interval training. I have friends who were overweight and tried a variety of diets, the one that worked the best and allowed them to yes, keep eating was the South Beach diet. But it is definitely a change in eating habits combined with regular exercise.

Firstly, find something that you actually enjoy doing because if you really do not enjoy going to a spin class for example, you will not be motivated enough to lose weight. I am 5ft5 and weigh 110Ibs and i do badminton to keep in shape, surprisingly enough it does work and i really enjoy it so I am motivated to go back every week.

You could also go for walks with friends, catch up on eachother at the same time?

Cycling is excellent. As you can do it for a far longer period of time that jogging for example.

And finally, I would definately recommend swimming, I go to the pool once a week while my little sister is at lessons and do lengths for about 40mins, I'm not a brilliant swimmer and go quite slow but it's an excellent work out!

GOOD LUCK!

k basically there are some pretty good workout DVDs on the market and you could probably get some cheap ones from someplace maybe like Amazon. the first main thing you should do is maybe watch your diet a bit i mean there is no need to go on some extreme diet just be careful make sure you are eating a lot of fibre which helps break down fatty deposits but the main thing you can do is exercise. maybe go for a little jog once a day, there is no need to spend money on expensive exercise materials because you can do it all at home. skipping is a good weight loss exercise and maybe join your local gym and go a few times a week.

good luck. x

Ok here is something i did and I lost 37 punds in 2 months.

I ate in the morning= bowl of cereal ( chex or corn flakes) or yogurt and fruit

snack= apple and 2 fig nutons

lunch= tuna sandwich on wheat, and wheat thins

snack= celery and carrots or broccoli

Dinner= grilled chicken, brown rice

snack an orange, all befor 6 o'clock

I ran in the morning for 45 minutes to an hour

and after work @ 7 I would do lunges and sit ups including jumping jacks..

Oh and don't forget drinking a half gallon of water every day...

Search YouTube for some exercises. They're free there and give you exactly what you're looking for.

- Stay away from junk food and such, or have one TINY piece of chocolate a week on the same day so you won't go crazy in craving greasy foods or sweets.

- EAT breakfast! It gives you energy thorough out the day and boots your metabolism.

- Drink LOTS of water, it's 0 calories and fills you up so you're not as hungry.

- Stay away from soft drinks.

- When eating, try to use smaller plates/bowls instead of bigger ones, because you'll feel like you ate a big plate full even though it was a smaller one, and in reality you ate less food than you did before.

- Try not to think of healthy eating as a diet, because then you tend to want to stuff your face with unealthy things. Just go day by day and make it though each day eating things that are good for you (veggies, fruits, protien, etc)

For some healthy meal ideas, check out Wegmans.com and look through their healthy eating section.

Well if i were you try the gym.

I lost half a stone in just 20 Min's of spinning (bike exercise)

Also cut down on any junk foods eat healthy and perhaps join a local sports club in your community.

But remember

"Beauty is not on the outside but skin deep".

what i did before was not to eat after 6pm. (that is, if you do not work on a night shift). i also ate wheat bread and nonfat milk, oat meal, fruits and vegetables ONLY -- no white rice, white bread, mayonnaise or meat, since they have very high caloric content. but be careful. i dont mean to say that you have to eat very little, since it is dangerous. make it gradual. for one week you'd see the difference.

for your stomache, do some sit ups.

for your upper arms- pull ups.

thighs and legs- squeezes (the flexible bar between your thighs) and jogging/treadmill.

don't eat as much bread.

or meat.

eat in moderation :]

the 100 calorie snacks help alot if you're a nervous snacker.

and gum.

The most honest & always working way to lost weight is to:

Do lots of exercise.

Drink lots of milk.

Don't eat junk.

It may not be the answer you wanted or you think its un - helpful but

it will always work better than a operation or something!

wats wrong with men asnwering, kmt. anyways. eat 5 low calorie meals a day, around 3 hours apart around 300 calories each. do 30-60 cardio everyday. this is the best way. u will always see reults this way, dont trust what others say. oh and basketball or soccer.

watever you are eating everyday,, try to eat less of that, smaller portions of food.. try eating more fruit, vegatables, and drink lots of water. Try doing at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday..

-hope that helps..

Veggies , fruit , and white meat only...those are the things i ate when i had gallbladder attacks cause i couldnt eat anything eles...i lost 35 pounds in 5 weeks

losing weight is common sense.

just excersise everday and watch what u eat

Healthy plan for a 16 year old to use to lose weight?

Hi! As you can see I am 16 years old, so I'm not sure what kind of plan I could use. I am 5'11" tall, and wiegh 155 pounds. I do not look or feel fat, but I do have a little extra flab I'd like to get rid of. I was 140 lbs. for quite some time, and only an inch shorter than I am now, and would like to go back into that range (of pounds). I eat a lot of junk food, as every teenager does but I cannot fight the craving of it, any advice as to how to stop? And once the snow melts, I'm going to pick up running, at least a half hour a day.

I don't want to lose it all at once, I just want to drop 15-20 pounds by the end of April. So how can I manage this and keep motivated to continue living healthy? How can I lose that weight in a HEALTHY way as well?

Well of course at your age, your body and methabolism are still in that growing process, so don't try any of harsh and restricting diets!! You should really step away of junk food, or at least try not to consume it very often!! I recommend you like swimming classes, running and just eat healthy!! A really good motivation is that everytime you're about to eat junk food, think about what your purpose is and that you are not gonna ruin your motivation!! And also drink lots of water, and when you go out with friends or family to a junk food place, try ordering a salad, so you wont feel guilty!! And please avoid doing nothing, instead of waching tv or be online all the time, go out for a walk, ride your bike if you have one....i mean there are millions of things u can do instead of doing nothing haha!!!

get a tredmil or one of those indoor bike things that dont move 30 mins isnt enough atleast 5 miles interms of food u can eat it as long as u exercise but no fast food and only 3 meals a day

Yes, it's cold out and exercise is hard to find. But the key is that you are 16. Put on your ipod for 30 minutes and dance each day as you clean your room (Sorry, the cleaning part is from the parental side of me).

Try ediets.com. They have some fun "challenges" where you will meet people that will help you with weight loss and keep you on track. You can also recieve a custom diet that suits your lifestyle and it will also help you with exercise as well if you are new to that.

Well first off you need to make a plan that will fit your body, and your needs, depending upon your daily calorie intake. Make up meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner that have a good deal vitamins and minerals. Actually if your eating more things with high calories, but they are all good calories and are good sources of vitamens and minerals then your doing better for yourself. Just make sure they don't have any fat calories, or trans fats. Overall, just eat more things with "low-fat" Get things with a good source of fiber and protein, and use common sense. To stop eating junk food, just eat fruit instead. But if you must eat junk food, and absolutly can't help yourself, then at least get things with "no sugar" or "no fat" or "low fat" It really helps. Oh, and don't drink soda, that is the worst thing for you, you gain more weight then you think you would from drinking it.

Same here! I'm 5'10 and around 155 pounds......i lost almost 80 pounds last year... and i want to lose 20 more pounds.

ok, you could start running. you burn lots of fat that way.

eat healthy, i know it's hard to stop eating cheetos, and chocolates....but you have to set goals, you have to make a promise to yourslef......at first it's hard....but once you get used to it, you'll be fine.

also try some weightlifting.

well for one thing...you arent fat honey...(laughs)..

if you would like to loose weight in a healthy way...than i would suggest that you stop eating the junk food...put it down and step away!!

i know that it is hard to stop the cravings that you have but...you have to ask yourself before you eat it..Is this what i should really be eatin?...you have to tell yourself that you are going to succeed...if you dont have faith in yourself than...this wont work!!!

try to only eat breakfest, a little lunch, and dinner (not a lot)

once you change your eating habits than you'll realize that you can control what you eat...fast walk...(or run) on a tredmil or outside or where-ever....for at least 30 mins. and try and make it fun so it wont seem too much like a workout...well good luck...*dA True Princess..*

Healthy weight loss while breast feeding?

I have a 1 month old and am breast feeding. I would like to slowly start losing some of those extra pounds of fat I put on while pregnant and was wondering what was a safe rate of weight loss while breast feeding. To lose weight I plan on focusing on eating especially healthy (no junk), and going on stroller walks.

Sounds like you have the right idea--between eating sensibly, walking, and breatfeeding, that should take care of the baby weight. It's important not to diet while you are breastfeeding, because your body needs the extra calories to produce an adequate milk supply.

Keep doing what you're doing. Breast feeding alone can burn up to 500 calories per day. Maintain a healthy, balanced diet, which is especially important while breast feeding. Keep taking your prenatal vitamins, and go for stroller walks. Another fun way to get exercise is Itsy Bitsy Yoga, which is a Mom and Baby yoga program. Classes are available around the world, and you can also buy the DVD's to use at home with your little one. Good luck!

I didn't have any control over my weight loss. I am 5'11 and I was 165 when I got pregnant (not stick thin but not overweight) I only gained 8lbs while pregnant and that took me up to 173. The doctor said because I am so tall and young (23) that I would be all baby. I am down to 135 and all I have done is breastfeed. It really does take all of your calories just as long as you don't eat junk food all day. My daughter or myself have not had any problems because of my weight loss and I'm lovin' it! I didn't have any control over it tho. Within a couple months I had to go buy pant sizes I haven't worn since high school!

Breastfeeding and walking will do away with the baby weight... don't try to lose the weight, you're still supposed to be eating a few more calories than the average person because you burn so many by just breast feeding! If you don't eat like you should be... you risk your milk drying up on you and your baby! So don't sweat the weight.. it will come out, for the mean time, just enjoy your baby! congrats!

Moderate exercise is just fine. Just lay off the hard and very strenuous exercises. Remember- your first priority is keeping your baby healthy!

Can I diet while breastfeeding?

Good plan to lose weight?

Hello! I am here to ask today of a good plan to help me lose weight. I am 15 years old (male), 5'6", and about 160 pounds. I'm not very happy with this weight, and I would like to get myself down to a healthy weight. What can I do for this? I know exercising and watching what I eat. I am cutting down on soda and drinks with high sugar, and eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking lots more water! I am quite confused on what to do each morning for exercise. Due to certain reasons, I do not feel safe outside and going running/biking/swimming, etc. Can't drive, so no gym for me. I understand I am putting myself in a rather difficult situation, but any help or advice is appreciated! I would really like to decrease the excess weight on me. So, I would like to know what exercises I can do in my house to burn weight, relatively quickly, but also healthily. I have no machines to burn calories and cannot look into buying any, due to this economy. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Jump rope's good

Burpees are good.

You can do both HIIT style if you really want to up the difficulty. You may or may not burn *weight*, but you will burn fat.

Use google or youtube if you're unfamiliar with burpees or with HIIT.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far that is terrific. I myself have llost 40 lbs myself. I walk almost everyday at least 45 minutes and I have drastically changed my eating habits. I have heard that drinking a green tea helps to lose weight. I found a free trial offer online that seems like it might work. I have looked at the ad and it seems to be fortified with extra ingredients. You can check it out at: http://health-fitness-beautywomen.blogspot.com/

there are some workout videos that r actually fun...u could get some hand weights (target or walmart have them really cheap) 2 use with the videos

I need a healthy eating plan...?

I've been gaining weight for a long time and I can't seem to lose it...I do cleaning so I'm practically moving all day but I need to know what to eat because it seems like everything I eat makes me gain weight...

I'm 18, 5'4, and about 140 lbs...

I am looking for a healthy way to lose weight while pregnant to decrease the risk of diabetes while pregnant.?

Just started losing weight from my first child and just found out that I am pregnant. I was 160 before my first child and 320 in my last trimester. I had lost 60 lbs so far. Just want to keep it healthy at a slow weight loss and be able to do so during this pregnancy. Excersize and healthy eating is whta i have been doing and plan to keep it up. Is that healthy to keep doing??

Exercise and eat healthy. It's not a great idea to diet during pregnancy, but you can help by eating right and exersicing. I am a bigger girl and I have YET to gain a pound. My nurse said it was perfect since they only want to see me gain about 15 lbs. I cut out most of my pop intake, and I'm eating smaller amounts along with taking my prenatals. I don't "gorge" like I used to. I also eat more than just 1 time a day. Before I got pregnant, that's all I would eat, now I eat 3 small meals a day with some healthy snacks in between. It sped up my metabolism and in my face, legs and arms, you can actually tell I'm losing weight, but the baby getting bigger is counter-acting it on the scale. Good luck and congrats.

Ask your Doctor. That's what they're there for.

This is a baby. They need particular nutrients to have healthy bodies and brains. Everyone can have special situations to deal with.

This is the best info you will get on this question. You don't want info from pseudo-medical people. A Doctor has to see you. Even a Doctor won't prescibe without checking out the lady in person.

Talk to your doctor about seeing a nutritionist. I would say you are fine, just make sure you aren't starving yourself or working out to much, but I'm not a doctor. sorry :)

Would I lose more weight if I did this eating plan?keep in mind I work out everyday except sunday.?

I think that this diet is a short term solution. How much weight do you want to lose?

I lost over 3 stones by sticking to a healthy diet.

I started off eating 1400 calories a day and then gradually went down to 1200 calories. Now I weigh 8 stones and 8lbs and I'm 5 ft 5. My BMI is 21 and I used to weigh 11 stones 11 lbs.

Nowadays I can eat up to 1700 calories but bear in mind that I do not exercise at all. I have an office job and just about walk to the bus stop. I exercise sometimes but in the winter I can't be bothered even if i know its really good for me :)

If I was as active as you I'd proabably be allowed to eat 2000 calories or even 2200 calories to maintain my weight. You can check your Basal Metabolic rate to see how many calories you need to eat to loose weight. Eating too little is not good either as your body goes into starvation mode and stores fat making you not lose weight or even worse put on weight.

Good luck!

Usually losing weight is simple numbers. You need to know your basic metabolic rate (BMR). Once you know your BMR then you can design a diet lower in calories than your BMR.

But.... it is not always that simple. You could also have metabolic anomalies or even hormone irregularities that can make losing weight virtually impossible.

Start with the simple stuff. Calculate your BMR right here http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ then alter your diet if necessary.

Now, if you don't see results after that you may look into the hormonal or metabolic areas. Also make sure you are being realistic, and that you do have weight to use. Don't forget... celebrities use tons of drugs and have personal trainers! We should all be so lucky 8)

I have been doing the crossfit workouts and they have shredded my body big time (removed my body fat). They are pretty tough, but the results are quick!

give them a try and see what you think. I usually do the WOD's

http://crossfit.com/

http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html

Also to tone muscle (obviously you want a little muscle tone which is very sexy when done right) make sure you are getting plenty of protein to aid in recovery and building of new muscle tissue

Anyone want to help me lose weight???? (just give me an eating plan)?

and what I mean by eating plan, is where yo tell me what to eat at the exact time.

like this is what I've eaten so far:

9:50a.m: 1 small chocolate from chocolate calendar.

10:10 a.m: 1 bagel toasted with butter.

and then you just continue it with healthy foods, and the exact times I'm supposed to eat it at..

I'm trying to lose weight, but I only have 9 days left, and I have to lose as much as I can.

but my problem is that i over eat after lunch and before dinner....

I have an exercise plan too, now all I need is an eating plan.

Thankyou so much if you could help. :]

Try these good nutrtion meals. It helped me lose 70 lbs. in 9 months, along with a workout program to help you burn calories and build lean muscle which helps you burn more fat and lean down and tone up. Good luck and email me if you need additional info. I have my clients on this and they love it and lose an average of 2 lbs. a week along with their workouts that I have designed for them. It is important to eat for what you are going to be doing in the next 3 hours. No/ low carbs if you are going to nap , carbs if you are going to be able to wrok that energy off.

My workout routine

I do a push pull workout on most days. 3 days a week i do strength training and the other 3 I do 65 minutes cardio moderate speed ( 3.7) on an incline of 10-13. I take sundays off. to rest and relax. Push pull for example is doing triceps extension with or without a break then doing biceps curls and adding reverse or regular crunches in there to make sure I get abs in and it cuts down on time. I do abs a lot to keep my core strong. I try to get all of the muscles in that area to work together on the same day. do the amount of weight for what you want to accomplish. Say for toning, light weight ans high reps(15-20) and 3-4 sets. To build muscle, 2-3 sets and 10-12 reps. All beginners need to start with 1-2 sets and 8-10 reps with light weights. Remember to stretch after your workout to keep from cramping up.10-15 minutes of stretching is optim
