I did this last summer and I continued into the year!. I lost a total of 40 pounds!. You have to workout fairly hard!. Running is a great exercise to shed the pounds!. Also, enhance your diet to include healthy foods like chicken, turkey, and tuna!. With the running, I recommend interval training!. You run really fast for 2 minutes and then walk for 2 minutes and continue this for about 30 minutes; its a great way to boost your metabolism and therefore shed the weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Remember, everybody is different!. You should examine if you are currently eating healthy and exercising regularly!. If you are doing these things, you should not attempt to lose weight because your body is not meant to!. If however, you lack exercise and eat unhealthy, this is what you should do!. : Eat a grazing format and exercise between meals!. This will boost your metabolism and you will lose a lot of weight!. Grazing means eat small meals, but many meals!. Many people think that stop eating would make them lose weight but sadly they are mistaken!. Well, what happens is if you dont eat(ex!. skip a meal), your metabolism will go into a sleep mode because your body is not using anything!. Then when you actually decide to eat, you feel hungry, so you eat a little more than normal!. Your slow metabolism now recognizes this as your survival meal, so it stores it as fat!.

The next thing is exercise!. By exercise, I mean everything that moves your body and forces you to put pressure on your muscles!. The best way to do this is to swim!. If you can't get to a pool, you can ride a bike!. If you dont have a bike, play a sport like basketball or soccer, which require running!. OR> you can just run!.

Just remember: skipping a meal means gaining weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Here's some weight loss tip's I have picked up over the years:

- Exercise 6 to 7 days a week!.

- And try to break your workout into two different sessions, this gives your metabolism a jolt!.

- Drink 10 to 12 cups of water a day!. And try to drink ice cold water, it burns more calories!.

- Take enough vitamins, especially ones that promote weight loss (such as 1800 mg!. of Fish Oil, Vitamin B Complex, Co-enzyme Q-10, ect!. Do your research)!.

- Drink green tea or take green tea pills ( it's been shown to speed up your metabolism)!.

- For your metabolism's sake, eat within 1 hour of waking up and don't eat 3 hours before you go to bed!.

- Try a vegan or vegetarian diet (it worked for me :D)!.

- Drink 12 oz!. of warm lemon water (use the juice of 1/2 a lemon) with a little sea salt every morning!. This will detoxify your body and make your skin look amazing!.

- Or, if giving up meat just isn't your thing, just count calories!. Try to have around 1200 a day!.

- Try to avoid white, bleached, or enriched flour!.

- Stay away from high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils!.

- Eat every 2 to 4 hours to keep your metabolism going!.

- Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day to keep your metabolism up!.

- Try to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep!. When your body is deprived of sleep your appiteite increases by 15%!.

- Sugar and artificial sweeteners are the devil!. If you have a sweet tooth, grab some fruit!.

- Avoid all junk food, fast food, and fried food!.

- Try only drinking water, tea, and black coffee!. There are so many hidden calories in drinks!.

- Eat whole grain foods and healthy fats (like olives, avacados, nuts, ect) and stay away from refined or "bad" carbs!.

- Remember to read the labels!. They hide so much junk in "healthy diet" foods now a days!. My rule of thumb is, if I can't pronounce it, I won't put it in my body!. Because you are what you eat!.

- Set small goals (like 5 pounds) and when you reach your goal reward yourself with something (not food)!.

And just remember that you can do this!. It's not impossible!. You just have to stick to it and the weight will just fall off!. Good luck with losing weight!. Hope I've helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
