Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Joseph asks…

How can I lose weight fast without running?

I’m 17, 6’0, 245lbs. I want to how I can lose weight fast without running. I already do a Brazilian Martial Art called Capoeira, so I don’t want to run. I want to lose 20lbs by late Sept if possible. Please I need some suggestions.
I forgot to add one more thing:
How should I schedule my meals and what should I eat?
Does anyone think it’s possible to lose 20lbs. by late September?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try and stick to a clean diet. Lean protein, complex carbs, lower sugar intake, lots of fruits and vegetables and so forth.

Capoeira is pretty intense so if you are doing it a few times a week or more for an hour at a time or so you should start seeing results. Practice Capoeira even if you don’t have a class that night. Twenty pounds by late September is possible. Good luck!

To expand on the 20 pounds, ideally you want to lose 2 pounds or so a week since this is healthy amount and you are more likely to keep it off. There are still 8 weeks until late September so that’s 16 pounds there. You can also take into account that you are fairly heavy already so you should see faster results in the first couple weeks which can easily account for the additional 4 pounds. So if you stick to it and keep motivated you can lose the 20 pounds.

As for the scheduling meals some people swear by the 6 small meals a day. It’s a good idea since it will always keep your metabolism up but often times it isn’t practical. Especially if you have to go to work. Above all make sure you eat a good sized breakfast as it will start your metabolism for the day and make you less hungry later in evening.

How to Lose Fat Without Cardio using Metabolic Finishers

Non conventional cardio from metabolic finishers and morning fasted walking.

A metabolic finisher is a 5-10 minute fast paced circuit completed at the end of a weight training session which acts as ‘cardio’ and is designed to really skyrocket the heart rate and send your metabolism into over drive.

The finishers were pretty basic such as medicine ball slams, star jumps or battling ropes.

Off day training, was walking on an empty stomach before breakfast for 30 minutes. Some fitness professionals are against it. I’m for it simply because it works.

If for whatever reason you can not do it in the morning I would say to do it later on in the day because it’s better than nothing.

How can you lose weight without getting a muscle-y look?

I am 16 and am just starting to work out to lose weight. I run and play tennis–which I just started playing and therefore dont get an actual workout out of! Can you guys tell me what kind of excercises you need to do, what kind of food you need to eat, etc to lose weight but not build up a lot of muscle? Any tips will be welcome!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

It is very hard to gain muscle! By eating sensibly and training you will not suddenly get muscly – you have to have a specific training programme and diet in order to gain muscle and to look muscly – so do not worry!!!

Cardio activities like running, tennis, swimming, brisk walking, cycling etc will help you to lose body fat and therefore lose weight.

Diet – try to cut down on carbs, increase protein intake, eat plenty of fresh fruit and veg, Replace processed food with fresh food and avoid white breads/pasta’s etc
