How to lose weight and be healthy?!


Question: How to lose weight and be healthy?
Okay so I have a photo-shoot coming up in 2 weeks and I would really like to lose 5 or 6 pounds before that. I don't want to starve myself, I want to lose the weight and still be healthy. I work out 5 days a week, but I've been doing it so long that I have kinda hit a wall and haven't had any new results.
Is there anyway for me to lose that much weight in two weeks and still be healthy?

Answers:

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.



Hi , I know how you feel. It is a challenge when we fight ourselves and attempt to lose weight. I found with so much information out there on the internet it can be very confusing. My friends and I have tried numerous diets with very limited success and this was both time-consuming and very frustrating. Until we came across The Diet Solution which gave us the motivation and a great system to follow. The success we have had has surpassed all the other programs we had tried in the past. See for yourself as I am sure it will bring you results.

Good luck
