The best way to lose weight is to combine healthy eating habits with a workout regimen!. By eating healthier foods (which are less in calories than unhealthy foods) and by controling portion sizes, you'll automatically be able to eat a reduced calorie diet!. Try eating 5-6 small meals per day instead of 3 large ones, which will also boost your metabolism!. If you're going to count calories, try limiting your intake to about 1200-1500 calories per day!.

For the workout, I recommend starting out at 30-45 minutes per day of cardio (eliptical, stairclimber, treadmill, etc!.!.!.) for 4-5 days per week, and add in 2 days of strength training (lifting 2-5 pound weights)!. By lifting light weights, you'll increase your muscle mass, and since muscle burns fat as fuel, you'll also get leaner, quicker!. After the first 3-4 weeks, try increasing your cardio to 60-90 minutes per day, for 5-6 days per week, and also increase your weight training to 3 days per week, for about 30 minutes each day!.

If you stick with this healthy eating and workout routine, you should start to lose about 2-5 pounds per week, or about 8-20 pounds per month (depending on your current activity level and eating habits)!. Overall, you should reach your goal weight within about 4-8 months, but that all depends on how hard you work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

60 lbs is a lot of weight to lose!. Chances are you won't be able to lose that much by just exercising!. You're going to have to drastically change your diet too!. Drink 2 L of water throughout the day, try and eat 6-8 small meals that are low in fat (fat slows down your metabolism)!. And make dinner your lightest meal of the day (your metabolism peaks in the morning/afternoon and then completely drops at night - this is where so many people make the mistake of eating late night snacks which is SO bad for you)!. Switch to whole grain breads and crackers, cut out all sodas, juices, etc and just drink water!.

And for exercise - anything that gets your heart rate up will burn the most fat - jogging or fast paced walking or aerobics at least 30 mins, crunches and other excercises will build your muscle but they won't get rid of the fat nearly as quickly as cardio!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Interval training!.
