Recommendations for diet & exercise/weight-loss plan?


I’ve heard WeightWatchers was a good one. I tried South Beach, I didn’t like it. I would prefer plans that have websites where I can keep track of my progress. And also an excercise plan (cardio is needed)

Not to be overly picky since you guys are helping me, but I wanted to know which ones you prefered or heard were good.

First step is to eat healthier food. Eating healthy, balanced meals is the first goal we must strive for. Pay attention to what you’re eating to make sure it’s not filled with additives. Include lots of fruits and vegetables into your diet. Stay away from too many sugars and sweets, and drink plenty of water.

Exercise is the second key ingredient if you need help to lose weight. Aerobic exercise is something you should fit into your schedule a 2 or 3 times per week. Keep your heart rate up for 30 minutes – 3 times per week to start. Increase the length and intensity of your exercise, as you feel more comfortable and energized. Some light weight training and resistance exercises a couple times a week can be very beneficial also.

The exercise part – do some incline walking

To lose weight as efficiently as possible, you’re going to need to combine exercise and diet efforts. One without the other mostly gives sub-par and temporary results.

For exercise, do some simple walking. But make 1 change. Make sure you’re walking up an incline. Since most people don’t have a hill nearby, a treadmill that inclines is what you’ll need to use.

My suggestion… just incline it slightly. Ten to fifteen degrees. Nothing too steep. Then… just walk for 20-25 minutes. Before you start saying inside your head that "it’s just walking"… well, try it once and there’ll be nothing more to say

You’ll realize how great it is for fat loss after doing it just once. So try it and see how you’ll lose stubborn stomach fat fast.

I recommend to cycle to, that is always good, and anyone can do it easily
The diet part – protein shakes and apples

Obviously there are 2 parts. Notice I don’t even touch on your meals… the protein shakes are more mini-meals or snacks. Working with thousands of women has shown me that I need to start with snacks first.

And protein shakes and apples fit the bill.

All I want you to do is alternate between eating an apple and drinking a protein shake that has 20-30 grams of protein in it. And of course, eat your normal meals.

Now, to be clear… if you eat healthier you’ll get better results. But I’m allowing you to eat you regular foods so you don’t feel like you’re suffering. The apples and protein shakes will take care of how much you eat during those meals. It’ll be less. Smile. That’s exactly what we want.

This is a good "starter plan". I consider it the best weight loss program for women who are transitioning to a more healthy diet.

If you’re SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice… you know, like "Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water…

glad if i help;)

What’s the best healthy weight loss exercise plan?

i’m in teen yrs and only wanna lose a few. so i was wondering if theres some kind of plan that you can do without changing your diet to much.
note: i’m trying to be a vegetarian as well. so answers not including meat would be great. thnx

Here is what you need to do if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Lose weight) and you will have more energry.

If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have any or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross country skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension) (YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. So your body doesnt go into starvation mode, YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF.

If you stick with this you will have a great body. also drink a least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonalds, Wendys, etc because there is nothing good for you on the menus – even the salads are bad (bacon bits, cheese, dressing, etc)

Good Luck :)
