How can I shed some fat?!


Question: How can I shed some fat?
Will someone tell me the best way to shed some stomach fat

Answers:

I suggest you cut out your consumption of carbohydrates and don't drink any sodas and start walking 45 minutes every day



this diet is working for me. i lost 4 lbs in 7 days by eating everything i normally eat but cut it in half or 1/3 and eat a half of grapefruit and drink a full bottle of water before each meal. i eat every 2 or 3 hours. if u like carbs like bread, pasta etc. only eat whole wheat and in the mornings or afternoons so u can be burning it off throughout the day. run a mile everyday and each week increase it by .15 miles because your body will start to adjust and will stop/slow down losing weight but if u increase then the body will keep burning. also weight train a few days a week. muscles burn faster than fat.



You can not lose fat in one particularly area. You can gain muscle in that area, which will help you to burn fat more easily, but the best way to do this is scientifically, my friend.

Cut your calories. I know it's hard, and annoying, but it is the best way. And if you start working out, you won't have to cut as many calories, because your workout will burn those calories.

3500 calories equals 1 pound. Consume 500 fewer calories than your body needs each day for one week, and you will have lost 1 pound. However, you need to make sure that the weight you are shedding is fat and not muscle. So, make sure that your the majority of food you consume consists of protein, carbs, and a very small portion of fats. Here is an example.

I am 117 pounds. This means my body needs 1521 calories in an average, no workout day (weight times 13). Let's say I want to lose a pound a week. I will consume 500 calories fewer than I need. But wait, 1000 calories sucks. So, I will run 3 miles. This will burn approximately 300 calories. Meaning my body now needs to consume 1821 calories today to maintain my weight. Thus I will eat 1321 calories today, which is not very difficult.

The calories I do consume, though, need to be high in protein and carbs and low in fat. The fats I do consume need to be unsaturated, such as avocado and most nuts. And the carbs need to be carbs from fiber as opposed to carbs from sugar. This is because they process more slowly to give you more energy, as opposed to the short sugar high. So eat mostly protein- egg whites, low fat fish such as tilapia and tuna.

I lost about 30 pounds in 3 months doing this. Let me know if you have any questions. I have done a lot of research and am now maintaining a healthy body weight.



Did you know that if you eat too few calories your body will start to conserve everything you eat? It does this by converting what you eat to sugar and storing it as fat. Guess where the storage is - yes - around your middle! This is a sure sign you are not eating enough.

Here are some tips for a healthy diet. The more of them you can do, the better your chance of losing some inches around your waistline.

Always eat breakfast and always include protein for your breakfast. Protein builds muscle, improves your feeling of fullness and will help to keep you satisfied until your next meal.

Choose lean sources of protein, such as chicken, fish, dry beans or lentils. You may even use some protein powder to get more protein with less sugar and calories. I put chocolate whey protein powder in my oatmeal for breakfast, and I don't need any sugar. If you want to use protein powder, do some research to make sure it does not have unhealthy ingredients.

Increase your daily consumption of vegetables. You can't have enough vegetables! Raw, steamed, in soups, whatever you can do to get more vegetables in your diet is a good thing. Vegetables are very important to losing weight around your stomach.

Limit how much fruit you eat. Many times when people are dieting they reach for fruit to satisfy hunger between meals. While fruit is good for you, it does contain a lot of sugar and if you want to lose weight you are better off limiting your fruit to 2 - 3 pieces a day.

Eat 4 - 6 small meals a day rather than 3 big ones, if possible. The intent is to stabilize your blood sugar level throughout the day. This will help you to lose weight. If you do try this, be sure you do not overeat, because it is easy to eat too many calories at each meal. Decide how much you want to eat for the whole day, then divide it up into individual meals.

Include protein, complex carbohydrates and good fats at every meal. Try not to eat meals that consist of only one or two of these. An example would be soup for lunch that has no protein.

Eliminate "bad" fats but be sure to eat "good" fats. Bad fats are butter, margarine, corn oil, canola oil, trans fats, and saturated fats. Good fats are olive oil, the omega 3 fats in some fish like salmon, avocados and nuts, especially walnuts. Even though a fat is "good" be conscious of how much you eat. Don't overdo it!

Avoid all processed foods. These not only add a lot of calories, they are very high in sodium and unhealthy ingredients. High sodium intake can cause many health problems, but it can also cause you to retain water, which will make you bloated and feel fat. This is not what you want!

Drink plenty of fresh, pure water. At least 64 ounces a day. Every day! This will help keep your cells nourished and it's important to eliminating toxins that are stored in your body that keep you fat. Also, don't drink your calories. Soda, sweet tea, sports drinks, etc all contain sugar. Avoid artificial sweeteners also. They have been shown to make you gain weight.

Besides changing your diet, the best way to lose that tummy is to increase your level of physical activity. If you do not get a lot of exercise right now, start just by walking. Walk at least 30 minutes a day, and as you get more fit, you can add other more strenuous forms of exercise. For the best health, it is advised to get both cardio and strength building exercise. Weight bearing (strength building) exercise is also important to prevent osteoporosis.

I tried to give you a long list of options so you find something that works well for you. It is not essential to do ever one of these things, but the more you do, the healthier you will be and the better your chance of reaching your weight loss goal. The most important thing is to pick changes you can live with in the long run. Just control when and how much you eat. For long term success, make small changes, one at a time. Then once you are used to it, make another.

My last piece of advise would be to go easy on yourself. Don't compare yourself to other people. Everyone has their own problems, which you probably are unaware of. Actually, you should be grateful that you only have to worry about your body composition, because that is something that is totally under your control. That is good news!

So instead of giving up or starving yourself, take control of your diet, your health, your body and your life by making healthier diet, exercise and lifestyle choices.
