What can i do to lose weight healthily? I’m 5’6 110 pounds and want to lose abit of weight. Nothing too major, just tone up for the summer. Is there any specific thing that makes HEALTHY weight loss easier (besides the obvious exercise and moderate eating) ive heard that six small meals a day help but am a bit confused on this. any advice at all would be great. Thnx
Some say that if you eat smaller portions and six meals that its easier to lose weight. I on the other hand just cut back on what I ate and drank and lost 50 pounds and have kept it off for a year References :
I’m sure you know that 110 pounds at 5’6", even on very slender frames is pretty "small." That said, if you want to lose weight healthfully, sparkpeople.com has really good FREE accounts where you can enter how much you want to lose, how much you are, age…and they’ll set meal plans and exercise schedules for you automatically. It’s pretty cool (although I’m a weightwatchers lifetimer!). References :
if you want to lose wheight healthy try going to a place called curves they really help lose wheight if it does not work ask curves for somthing else References :
Definetly eating smaller meals more frequently. This keeps your metabolism up and has been known to help with light to moderate weight loss.
Also, cutting soda and other foods containing refined sugars will help you dramatically. And eating more carbs in the morning for breakfast, and less carbs, more protein at night. Salmon and other fishes are very good for you.
If you’re looking to tone your muscles, I would highly suggest Pilates or yoga. They’re so relaxing (not at first, but you get used to it) and they really do help tone your muscles for that awesome beach body References : I do Pilates and have gotten great results.
excercise regularly, and increase your intake of fiber, fruit, vegetables, and signigicantly lower ( not eliminate) fast food, meats, carbs etc…..you need all that to function, just not in excess, but eating more fruits and veggies is such a good dietary change….not only does it make you lose weight healthily but you would also get other health benefits, such as good intestinal health and such, and besides its been said that fruits and vegetables have been known to prevent or even slow down cancer growth References :
Just sticking to the basics of exercise and moderate eating should be enough to lose a few pounds. When I was in Europe backpacking a couple of years ago for a month, I ended up doing a lot of walking. I lost 10 pounds without even trying! Weight loss doesn’t have to be complicated. References :
My trainer told me to eat small meals each day to help speed up my metabolism. If you skip meals, your body will go into starvation mode and therefore it will hold/store the next thing that you eat. Eat breakfast, a snack, lunch, another snack, Dinner. Also, don’t eat right before going to bed…wait at least 3 hours after you eat before you go to bed. Smaller portions always helps as well. Don’t drink pop or waste all your daily calories with drinks. Just drink water, it’s free in many ways. References :
I don’t think at 5’6 110 pounds you should lose any weight. If you lose more you may actually lose the muscle tone that want to tone up. Don’t worry about losing any just start lifting some weights or swimming to tone up what you already have. It sounds like your probably just right. References :
yea dont listen to the six small meals a day just watch what and how much u eat for the three meals u eat. also dont over eat and watch the calories but not to much. u dont want ur parents or parent to worrie bout u. References : my dad and i r both good at eating healthy!!!
throw out ur deep-fat fryer.
throw away all ur frying pans.
roast, grill or microwave all ur food with minimum fat.
ban takeways, chocolate bars & full-fat milk. References :
First check you BMI you actually may be in your healthy weight range I’m 5’5" and they say my healthy weight range is 111-146 pounds. I would suggest just sticking to the 4 basic food groups and cut out the junk and fast food. And drink more water than you do sugared up caffeinated drinks. References :
110 lbs sounds like a pretty skinny girl already!! If you have areas you want to "tone up" then you need exercise not weight loss. You would be suprized what a difference a few days a week working on your legs, arms and abs can make in the way you look. References :
Well, since you’re not fat or anything- you just want to get more "fit" I would suggest just not eating doughnuts for breskfast in the morning. Not having greasy foods from like mcdonalds and taco bell and Arby’s and all that kind of stuff. If you do go somewhere like that have a solution to that. For instance, if you go to Mc donalds on lunch break then have a salad. If you want to go to burger king get some chicken fries and dab off the grease.
Greasy foods are the enemy when trying to get in shape.The movie super size me shows how studies have seen that greasy foods can do awful things to healthy bodies. If you have a major sweet tooth like most people then instead of having the chocolate sundae for desert, have a fruit bar or a weight watchers ice cream sandwich, they have fewer calories and less sugar, so they are better for you. For snacks during the daytime, have some pretzels, a nice cup of yogurt, a banana, or some carrots, or parhaps an apple. go out for a morning jog, take the dog for a walk, do an excercise video or maybe sign up for a health club membership. If you want a club membership get out the yellow pages and look up health clubs or gyms. You don’t need to be fat or obese to join one. :YOu can join one to stay active healthy and fit. References :
We are however not just what we eat, but what we don’t do!
Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?
I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet, exercise or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!
No quick fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way. References : GP for more years than I care to remember
I use to have un-wanted weight that I really did not want but every body thought was fine on me. But for me it was not ok. I followed a plan which helped me lose it all of and is also allowing me to keep it off. It is very simple. If you are interested I would love to get you started and get results fast. References :
