Well ... i think that u dont have much to lose and hopfully it wont take too long but still can vary from person to another depending on age , weight and fat percentage
you dont need a a diet programe ... you need to change your eating habits and create a calorie defect
As for you (female) ur needed calories per day if ur not an active person should be 10 cal for each pound u weight
and this is not 100% accurate its approxmitaly and it still can vary from person to another , this is to maintian ur body weight but since you do wanna burn some fat so u have to create a calorie defect of abt 500 cal per day you can cut it down be reducing the amount of cal you take per day and exercising
Here are some tips and and fundamental basics that might help:
1st - you need to reduce your calories intake by eating balanced healthy meals containing all sufficient daily needs
(proteins - carbohydrate - Fats ) For Example
- Protines are very important on dialy bases caz a women in age btwn 19-70 needs to consume 46 grams of protein per day so you dont wanna miss that
2nd - avoid hunger : this is the most important thing you have to keep in mind as the more hunger you became the more weaker you will be infront of food and you will be forced to eat any thing .. try to eat at least 4-6 meals per day with snacks in betwen (fruits & yogurt)
3rd - correct your bad eating habbits such as
-combining food with entertainment and watching movies and tv
-eating to relieve stress and to ease pain
-Eating on the run
4th - Dont torture your self by prohibiting certain types of food and desert .. just reduce the amount .. and know when to eat it .. dont eat any thing contians suger or fats at night .. eat wat you want during the day with low amounts caz the body starts to reduce metabolism rate at night
i know that iam making this too long but i think this might help
Exercise is the most essintial thing that you need to do in order to get in shape and loose fat caz you really have to distinguish btwn loosing wieght and loosing fat combining
healthy food and proper nuitration with Exercise you will get the optimum results caz you dont wanna end up with flabby skin all around your body after losing alot of wieght caz your skin need to be stretched and u wont get this except with sports
last tip :) .. dont think that if you dont eat the whole day that you well become fit .. the is one of the most common myths around the world
if you dont eat your body well announce emargency and will try preserve every single calorie in your body and slowing your metabolism rates caz your body doesnt care if you wanna look fit or not your body with think that you are straving your self to death this is called (starvation mode)
one more thing concerning the belly problem that u have .. dont worry abt it that much caz when u reduce your body fat percentage ..your body will response consecutively .. caz its all abt the fat percentage in your body if u managed to reduced it by eating healthy meals and regularly excersing
you will be astonished by the reuslts
thats all :) ... keep healthy and fit .. wish you luck :)
Do Crunches and drink green tea and lots of water
you could do sit ups. the actual exercise doesn't burn fat, but the muscles you develop during it continue to burn calories thereafter, so they're good. NEVER EVER miss a meal. it's a slippery slope, and all you actually do is lose muscle mass which prevents you from losing weight. drink tonnes of water and go walking if you want. stand up more often as it burns more cals, and basically all the other obvious things. there is no easy healthy way, just use your common sense and yo'll be okay! good luck
Just do exercise and go for morning walks! try to do this and you will loose weight......you can jog and dance also this will also help u...............
stay away from red meat,fatty foods, dairy products, and soda pops, refined rice, bread and pastas. eat only fish , white meat, and whole wheat or multigrained bread
I always thought walking was good too. Definitely watch what you eat, no carbs too.
sweeping & dusting your home
this way your home will be neat and clean and your weight will also be lost
try it out its very effective
me 2 lost lot of weight by this method !!!!!!!
Determine your daily calorie intake. Exercise alone won't make you lose weight if you're still taking in more calories than you burn. However emm, eating less and exercising more will only decrease your resting metabolic rate, which accounts for roughly 60-80 percent of daily calorie expenditure. Therefore you should exercise harder and eat more protein dense, clean foods; making your calories burned not too far off from your calories taken in will raise your metabolism and allow you to burn fat effortlessly. Thus, losing the weight at a healthy rate.
Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and write down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal. There are also calorie tracking websites that can help you to do this, for example the US government website, My Pyramid Tracker.
Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each thing you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the recommended serving size is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don't have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you're taking in. Reducing 500 calories per day from the calories you eat to maintain your weight can help you lose a pound of fat per week.
Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Look at the nutritional information for the foods you eat, pay special attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calories (high-sugar foods). You don't need to cut these things out entirely, but if you reduce your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you'll lose weight faster.
Drink water instead of soda, for example, or use mustard instead of mayo.
Choose lean meats. Chicken and fish are both very low in fat (and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent source of antioxidants, which are also beneficial to your health), so aim to replace some or all of the beef or pork in your diet with these foods.
Watch your portion sizes. Opening a bag of rice cakes and eating all of them in one sitting isn't going to help you lose weight. When eating chips, nuts, or dried fruit put a portion in a small bowl and then put the bag away. That way you won't mindlessly eat a larger portion than you had intended. Even if you only make minimal changes to your diet choices, reducing portion size will inevitably reduce caloric intake. A great way to watch portion sizes while snacking is to buy one serving 100 calorie packages - and they come in many favorite snack food items!
Drink plenty of water. Adequate water is essential for health, and a great many people simply don't get enough. What's more, if you're chronically dehydrated, your body will retain water in unflattering places, so if you make sure to get plenty of fluids you can start visibly trimming down in as little as a day. Remember, the more you exercise, the more water you'll need.
Exercise. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, you can lose weight either by decreasing your calorie intake or increasing the number of calories you burn. Any health strategy should include both, but if you want to lose weight fast, exercise is essential.
Perform high-level aerobic activities. Moderate aerobic workouts incorporating jogging, brisk walking, cycling, aerobic machines, or classes not only burn calories -- they also keep your heart healthy. Swimming is also great, especially if you are quite overweight or have joint problems, because you can get the same benefits of running -- typically burning even more calories -- with much less stress on your joints. Try to get at least 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three or four days per week.
Rest properly. Taking 1 or 2 days off exercising each week. it also means getting enough sleep at night, since sleep deficiency impairs your ability to lose fat.
Be confident.
You need to believe in yourself! If you want to diet, and you know that it will make you feel better, then you need confidence. Otherwise, the temptation to cheat on your diet will make it harder, and you will not feel better when you do lose weight. Avoid temptations like chocolate, ice cream, and cookies.. You need to always encourage yourself to achieve the goals that you have set. Learn to evaluate your efforts fairly and objectively. If you fail to achieve your target for the week, find out why is it so. Is it because you have missed a jogging session? Or you have been eating junk food for one of the days? After evaluating, look ahead to next week and try your best to stick to your plan.
Be consistent and disciplined, and have self motivation. To lose weight effectively, you need to stick to your weight loss plan religiously so as to see results. When you have the thought of giving up, visualize how good you will look when you manage to slim down successfully.
Hope it helps
