Question:
Loosing weight? >_<?
Okay, so I'm 5'5'' and I weigh like 173. And that's a little overweight for my age. I have 2 months til I start school again, and I really want to loose around....43 lbs (to be 125)..within that time limit. Just cause I want to fit into those new clothes I have my eye on, and for other reasons as well...
I've tried and tried, but I'm not really loosing anything...and I'm just about ot give up hope now..:'( Anyone can help?
Answers:
you have to make permanent change in your lifestyle (diet and exercise) to get permanent results.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise (running, jogging, hiking, cycling, elliptical, rope jumping etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
