Help, diet and exercise is not helping me at all?!
Question:
Help, diet and exercise is not helping me at all?
I go to the gym for at least 45 minutes a day. And I eat smaller portions, I don't eat a lot at all. I eat healthy foods too and watch what I eat but I don't seem to be losing many pounds even though I've been doing this for about three weeks now. What else can I do to help lose weight faster?
Answers:
Increase your time at the gym. Go for at least an hour. Try going on the treadmill for 40 minutes. You have to get your heart-rate up and then sustain it for at least 30-35 minutes to burn calories.
Maybe you are not eating enough? You need to eat at LEAST 1,200 calories a day. If you eat less than that, you're starving yourself and your body knows it. It will slow your metabolism down REALLY low to hold on to your stored fat and calories to protect your vital organs. You have to eat to lose weight. Try 6 small meals a day. Eat vegetables, lean protein, whole grains (the more fiber, the closer to being whole grain) and fruit. In that order. Stay away from fast/junk foods and regular sodas. Drink plenty of water. Stick with it----it's not going to happen fast, but the weight will come off if you keep doing the right things.
