Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Thomas asks…

How do I lose weight-the healthy and life long way-?

I have struggled with losing weight since I was young, I want to lose weight steadily, and (I know I know, should be the priority, but) quickly, but be healthy and make this a life long change.

I don’t want to diet, I’m not cutting out carbs or anything, and the most working out I can do a day, with school and all, is round bout 30 mins to an hour. I need help.

Any tips? Workout ideas? I tend to get bored easily? Whats most effective and burns the most calories? Does milk really help? And what are healthy foods to snack on? I’m a bad muncher!! Thanks!!!

They key is somthing that you enjoy doing. The ones that give drastic results right away are also the ones that dont last over the long haul.

As far as burning fat that means doing cardio. This is as simple as speed walking. Seriously, just speed walking can do the trick. It gets your heart rate up and you can keep it there longer than if you were running or jogging. It is also easier on your joints. It also helps to tone and tighten muscles while burning off those calories. It is free, you can do it anywhere, anytime of day, infact doing it in the morning or afternoon helps to kick start your motabolism. Thus giving you more energy that will last longer through the day.

Like you said healthy eating is the key and not just a diet. Lots of fruits and veggies for vitamins, carbs are good in the morning as they are fuel for your body and mind.

As far as the snacking goes figure out specifically what you crave. Is it somthing crunchy or a bit sweet? With that in mind go to the store and look in the health food isles and see if you can find that crunchy or sweet healthy thing that is actually good for you. Dont forget it is okay to eat somthing bad in moderation. This sounds silly but i like crunchy with a little sweet so i eat one all bran bar. Hey it is good for me, what is wrong with fibre.

Good luck to you and good health to you and yours!

David asks…

I’m seriously sick of this extra weight. How do I take it off? I’m willing to work hard…?

I’m not one of those people that wants to lose weight quickly and easily. I want to lose it quickly even though it may take a lot of work.
I’ve noticed my problem seems to be eating while I’m bored.
I want to lose at least 20 pounds. I am not fat, I just am a little bit on the chunky side.
Help please?

Stop drinking soda completely. Take a soda can and fill it with water (since people like drinking from cans).

While you are watching TV do jumping jacks, lift weights (or heavy objects) and run around the couch.

When you have to get from point to point don’t walk, run really fast. Stop taking the elevator for more than 10 stories.

Everyday when you wake up do 20 push ups, 20 jumping jacks and 20 sit ups the second you get out of bed.
