Answers:

The only help you need is to lose fat. Read the following fitness facts.

? If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you have to lose fat eventually. There are no exceptions to this fact.

? There are only two nonsurgical things you can do to sculpt your body and they are (1) add or lose fat and (2) add or lose muscle. Muscle can only be lost naturally through atrophy.

? A pound of fat will yield about 3500 calories (Kcal) of energy.

? An average person must run or walk about 5 miles (8 km) every day to burn one pound of fat per week BUT THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT.

? An average person must run or walk about 350 miles (563 km) to burn 10 pounds BUT THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT. If they walk 350 miles (13.4 marathons) at 3mph it will take them 117 hours or about three full 40 hour work weeks to burn 10 pounds of fat.

? If an average person consumes 500 calories per day less than they burn, they will lose about a pound a week with no extra time or physical effort required.

?Running does not burn any more fat than walking as long as the distance remains the same.

? It does not matter if a person runs or walks a given distance…they will burn the same number of calories. Calories are energy and energy expenditure is not time dependent. How fast a person runs has nothing to do with how many calories they burn. Only the distance determines the calories burned.

? There is no exercise which will remove fat from a particular place on the body. Your body (genetics) determines where you lose fat, not you nor your diet nor your exercise. Spot fat removal by diet or exercise is a myth which is why people spend so much money on liposuction.

? It is not necessary to do "cardio" to burn fat. Cardio is aerobic exercise while maintaining a heart rate of 80% of max or more which is used to maintain cardio-vascular fitness. You can burn fat in your sleep.

? Most of the calories you consume will be spent just keeping your body temperature at 98.6F.

? It doesn’t matter how hard or how long you exercise, you will not lose any fat if you eat too much. You can always eat more calories than you can burn. When it comes to burning fat, diet always trumps exercise.

? There are no supplements which will make your body burn fat. Only you can do that with diet control.

? An average natural bodybuilder who is just starting to train may gain as much as 4-8 ounces of muscle in a month. An average dieter who is burning fat will lose about a pound a week. Anyone can gain a pound in a few minutes just be drinking a pint of water.

Now, here's all you have to do to lose that fat.

Eat a diet of varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about 500 calories less than your daily caloric burn while keeping your macronutrient ratios at 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein) while not doing anything to defeat the foregoing plan such as taking supplements, abusing drugs, using cleanses or emetics, etc. That's it. It's that simple.

Here's the only two websites you need to do that.

PS: You may be fatter than you think. Here's a guy who weighs 240, has 8% body fat, and is 6'4". Check him out ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961 Same weight as you but 7 inches taller. It's easy to mistake fat for muscle when the two are comingled as in intramuscular fat or concealed as in visceral fat. I know I was surprised when my doctor told me to lose weight and I thought I was solid muscle. It sneaks up on you. Work on the diet, dude.



Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can't get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don't. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.



When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).



1) Your plan should not harm your health. 2) Your plan must work fast. 3) Your plan should lead into a more permanent weight loss plan so that you don't regain the weight you lost.

Okay, let's get on with the six easy weight loss tips that will show you how to lose weight fast.

How To Lose Weight Fast - Six Simple Steps

1. Stay active and be around positive people as much as possible. Sitting at home and allowing yourself to get bored is a sure way to the where all those fat-producing snacks are. 2. Okay, don't plug your ears. I know you've heard it before but it's too important to leave out: drink lots of water throughout the day, starting with as soon as you get up. 3. Eat small meals throughout the day, with lunch being your largest meal. 4. Don't gobble your food down. This is a bigger problem than you can imagine. Eat slowly and chew your food until it slides down your throat. 5. Put your fork down between bites. It takes your body time to tell your mind that you don't have to eat anymore. The slower you eat, the less you eat; the less you eat, the more weight you lose. 6. Follow a sensible overall program that will help you burn that fat off fast and keep it off.
