How to lose weight!
Seriously if you are fat and wants to lose weight don´t eat more calories than you burn but don´t eat too little because then you go into starvation mode. Eat 5 - 7 meals a day. It depends on how you sleep but try to eat about every third hour. I think your protein intake should be about 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. Eat the most carbs in the first half of the day or during the times of the day when you are the most active like if you have an active job, before and after weightlifting and before a high intensive cardio workout like running. If you are going to walk fast for more than 30 minutes, you can do that before breakfast or later in the day a couple of hours after a protein and fat meal or right after you have done some weight lifting. Eat food that is low in sugar. Like brown rice and instead of white rice. Some other good carb sources are potatoes, whole wheat pasta, oatmeal fruits and lowfat yoghurt. Some healthy sources of protein are eggs, chicken, turkey, fish and meat that is low in fat. Healthy fat sources are fish, nuts and olive oil. Fat is high in calories so don´t add so much to your food or just count the calories so you know about how many calories you are eating. You can google or go to fitday or some other site to found out your BMR = how much calories you burn when you are not doing anything active. Then you can add how many calories you burn from exercise and maybe from your job. Then you know how many calories you burn in a day. I think that your calorie intake should be about 500 calories less than you burn in a day. Write down healthy food that you want to eat and write down the calories. You can either weigh the food portions and look at the packages or/and go to some site like fitday and found out how many calories there are in the food that you are eating.
you don´t HAVE to count calories. But if your diet/what you´re eating isn´t working you can try it. I know it´s hard to count calories if you are eating different food everyday. If you don´t want to write down all the meals that you are eating you can before you eat or makeing the food just look at the packages and found out how many calories there are. Let´s say that you don´t have a physical/active job and your calorie intake should be about 1800, then you should have meals of about 300 calories if you are eating 6 times a day and if your calorie intake should be 2000 a day and you eat 5 meals then you should have about 400 calories in your meals. You can have more calories in one meal and less in another meal. If you are used to eat unhealthy fast food and/or cookies everyday and you start to eat that at most two times a week you will obviously loose fat/weight. Don´t have a cheat day and eat unhealthy food the whole day. I think you can have like 2 cheatmeals a week, were you eat some food that isn´t so healthy.
Eat healthy. Don´t do the no/low carb or the no fat diets. Eat the right type of fat and carbs. Add vegetables to your meals and have a/some fruits for breakfast and before or after workout. You can eat pizza and hamburgers sometimes because there are healthy ones. You can have a lowfat burger or a chicken burger with low fat cheese and whole wheat bread and some greens. You can look up some healthy recipes for pizza.
If you are “comfort” eating or eating because you are sad/depressed or something else try to found out why you are comfort eating or why you are feeling down and try to do something about it. If you are feeling like you need to eat some sweets because you are feeling down do something else instead like visiting someone, exercise or ead a book.
Sleep 7 - 9 hours a night. Sleep is important for your health and for energy.
You can´t spot reduce fat by exercising. You won´t get a smaller *** by doing lunges, a smaller stomach by doing crunches/sit ups and if you are a guy that have chest fat you won´t get less chestfat by doing benchpress and other chest exercises. When you do cardio you lose the fat from your whole body. It´s good to do some weightlifting but focus on doing cardio workouts. You don´t burn much bodyfat while doing weight lifting but the more and the bigger muscles you ger the more calories you burn doing nothing(BMR). Do some kind of cardio workout that you enjoy. You can walk on a treadmill or run. It´s maybe not so fun to go jogging in the beginning but when you can run faster or longer it more fun. You can run with a friend or listen to some music. If you don´t want to run you can train some sports that you think you will enjoy or take some dance classes or martial arts or just go and walk with a dog and/or a friend. You definently don´t have to work out every day. I think 4 times a week is enough if your diet is right.
Good luck losing your weight :).

I thought that you meant drink coke everyday. Like are you serious. Yes if you want you can drink coke two - three times a month. Many that eats healthy have like a cheatday but I think it´s better to have like two cheatmeals a week instead of eating unhealthy a whole day. Some that do moderat to lowcarb diets have one or two highcarb days a week. You don´t have to workout everyday. It´s good to have at least one restday.
Thnx brother!
im taking 1800 to 2000 calories daily with 1 hour 30 min of extreme cardio workouts!
lost 2 kgs in 2 weeks.
can i drink cocacola at dinner and skip the meal?
not every day but like 2 or 3 times in a month?
Continue my reply: Then when you know how many calories you burn in a day just decrease 500 from that.
Or you can write down the food you usually eat in a day and the calories and then decrease 500 calorie from that. Eat food that you like but try to remove food that you know is unhealthy and is high in sugar.
Well I can´t say exactly how many calories you should eat and I´m not a Doc or a nutritionist. It depends if you want to lose or gain weight. If you want to lose weight you can try with 2400 calories and if you haven´t lost any weight in like two weeks you can decrease to 2200 or 2000 calories. Don´t decrease too much. You can google and see what your BMR is and add ton that how active you are. Maybe you can find some good sites.
are 2400 calories good for me daily?
im 18 and weigh 80kg male thnx
You shopuld be eating less calories than you burn to lose weight but it´s more important what you eat than how many calories. I think that there are many people that eat too little calories when they start dieting or like start eating healthy. The BMR is how many calories you burn ín a day if you do nothing. Like you can lay down on a hospital bed or like your couch all day and burn about 1500 Kcals in a day.
it depends how much you need to lose, if you are over 200 lbs then 1200 is too low and will slow your metabolism.
I know. I wasn´t unhealthy but when I was 15 years old I was skateboarding everyday and had like very little bodyfat. The school nurse thought that I should gain weight. So that´s why I started working out. I mean lifting weights. After a while I started to read on different bodybuilding forums on how to eat correctly. On some forums they are helpful and on some not so helpful. I am interested in health and nutrition even though I haven´t been overweight.
funnily enough, its the best way to gain weight too if your skinny and unhealthy
i ate real whole food meals five times a day, low saturated fat etc but higher protien, worked out for 1 hour 3 times a week, and started to put on ‘good’ weight almost right away. but its easy to slip back into unhealthy habits, i need a kick up the **** sometimes!
it’s as simple as this stop eating rubbish and eat fruit n veg and have the occasional treat but don’t pig out. and excercise, I cant stress enough, you need to excercise, no use dieting if you dont excercise, it wont work. for some it does but it’s rare and they may have a good metabolism. and do me a favor, don’t excercise to lose weight, excercise because you want to be healthy, let the rest happen naturally, and dont give up just because 4 months have gone by and youre the same, keep going.
i jsut started eating 1200 calories a day and i lsot 12 pounds so far..is 1200 to low? i m not sure if thats too low…but thats waht iim doing and it seems to work.
thejoker hey thank u for the tips on weight loss im 13 and weight 157 can u please give me some tips to lose like 20-30 pounds?
This is the approach I’ve taken lately: Just veggies, fruits and nuts. Veggies and fruits for vitamins to keep hydrated and nuts for the minerals. I add to this multi-vitamins. I am thinking about bringing back meat for the B12.
Yup. The first step to lose weight is to skip stuff that is high in sugar and unhealthy fastfood. It´s all about dedication. Some people start going on extreme lowcarb diets with too little calories. Just start with eating normal healthy food and small portions.
Its funny, primarily because its true.
It’s a joke.
um , ***? you cant loose 40 lbs in 3 f’n days ! wow these people are **** !
sounds good! if you choose to do an additional type of sport that you like and enjoy(maybe swimming(!!)jogging, biking, basketball, soccer, even aerobic or whatever) your body will burn much more calories faster. because the body gets used to an activity within ~3weeks, which causes less fat loss within the same amount of time. So keep on switchin between dif. activities!
yup. I would say 1500 Kcals if she doesn´t exercise much and just walks and if she play some sport she can have a higher calorie intake almost 2000 kcals. If she play a sport she need carbs for energy before. Just have healthy carbs that is high in nutrition and does not have much sugar.
Thanx. But, i also eat more whole grain and i do still eat chicken and other meat. i also go for a 20min walk with my dog each day.
yea exactly! and at this age she/he is also still growing, so maybe the right food and some sports mixed with the normal growth will solve the problem..
It´s good that you drink water and eat fruits and veggies but as the other guy said try to include some lean protein with your meals.
yes you are right. 1100 calories sounds way too little. How many calories you burn in a day depends on how much you weigh and other things. I think it´s best to not decrease the calories too much in the beginning. Maybe she is a girl and don´t weight much but have at least 1500 calories.
