Hi, i need some quick tips on losing weight. I don't want a whole new diet or anything. Just some quick everyday tips that will help me lose weight without cutting out all the food. THanks
here are a few tips;
WHEN to eat for losing weight…
• Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That's the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… you must eat (the right things, of course) Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, mini-meals can prevent overeating.
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don't starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
WHAT to drink for losing weight…
• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the "hunger" sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don't believe the slogan "water makes me fat". Beside being stupid… you might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squized!
Don't drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc. during the diet. Even lite or light versions.
I thought this was not possible for me to achieve. Now… I don't even LIKE them anymore!
Nothing compares to the the smell of a fresh natural fruit juice! Not speaking about health…
exercise for losing weight…
• If you want quicker results - exercise would be good.
But remember, you're not going to attend the Olympic Games! If you exercise a lot - you'll get very hungry… and you'll be tempted to eat more. Don't exagerate!
Walking is fine (but not very slow…) for your body, and your spirit. Half an hour, or one hour /day - it's up to you. Walking can make you lean and increase blood circulation. Walking is known to be one of the best exercises a person can do, and it is healthy for the heart as well.
Get fit while you sit new workout program that's the laziest way to get in shape - works almost any place, anytime, anywhere… even while watching TV!
• Don't just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts…
I guarantee THIS won't work for your weight loss…
• Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don't be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
• Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don't regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.
Good luck !

here is what my dietician suggests - follow a practical diet. start your meal with a soup or a huge salad. this fills u up. Make sure your plate has this ratio - 50% veg, 25% carb, 25% protein.this will prevent cravings too.an occassional treat is OK. have a snack every three hours. fruit (ideally berries) or soy nuts. just 2 tbsp of soya subsides hunger pangs. switch from white rice and bread to brown. eat 900gms of veggies a day.Lose a kilo a week. that is permanent loss. pick an exercise regime you like.

Eat like 1500 calories a day and exercise for 30 mins a day. Don't bother trying to starve yourself..you'll just binge and end up gaining more. don't necessarily cut out all fat and carbs- your body still needs them to have energy! SECRET TO WEIGHT LOSS: you must eat to lose weight!!

Lots of water! It gets your matabolism going and it helps you stay away from food.
You can eat about 4 meals a day, so long as their SMALL! and cut out snacks. If you're a big snakcer, fruits and vegetables will do as their negative calories.
I know most people hate this one, but you HAVE to exorcise, you just HAVE to!
Good luck.

Meanwhile help out with the daily chores at home such as ironing, gardening,cleaning etc. These help you to burn calories and lose weight. Get involved with sports such as squash and tennis.

If you're not committed to a new lifestyle, then don't bother. I am serious. It is not good for your health to have short term unhealthy bursts of "dieting" (which usually means way too few calories in an attempt to lose weight quickly) and then right back to the old habits. Quick weight loss is almost always muscle and water. It is relatively easy to lose muscle tissue, and much harder to rebuild it. You really do want muscle, which is lean and makes you look and feel your best. Your body must work harder (which means burn more calories) even when it's at rest, when it has more muscle. So, you don't have to "Cut out all the food," but start thinking about what is healthy to eat. Shop the outer walls of the grocery store; that's where the fresh produce, lean meat and dairy products are. Buy less packaged stuff like chips, cookies, crackers basically anything processed. The less processing a food has, the more healthy it is for you (fresh fruit vs. fruit pies, for example). Eat simple meals of lean proten, whole grain carbs, lots of veggies, skim milk. Measure your servings of carbs, protein, and dairy. Learn to enjoy the way food tastes without butter or mayonnaise or other high calories condiments.
I've probably lost you as you want "easy"…but if you're still reading, don't neglect the exercise. Try to exercise every day, and don't only do "cardio" exercises. Cardio is great, but strength training is also wonderful, and helps build that muscle tissue that is essential to keeping your weight off, avoiding injury, and a whole multitude of other benefits.

Tips for Loosing Weight
By
minootoo
You must count calories and at least in initial stages write down what you are going to eat and when then stay on that list. Your total calories for the week must not exceed, 1500 x 7 = 10,500 calories this will give you leave way to indulge at special occasions like wedding and parties, but you must write down what you eat and account for the calories latter and adjust the total intake next week.
Please read my article on this subject and follow them.
While at it build your body too, while reducing by doing body parts specific exercises.
If you are not too old, then best way to reduce your weight is to increase your height.
Vegetarians have a big advantage, in loosing weight, it cost less and they can satisfy the hunger more easily, some vegetables have only 1 calorie per pound, so they can fill themselves up with it before enjoying each meal, and never go hungry.
Most people should take one a day water soluble multi-vitamins when on this program; they can be purchased at the pharmacy near you.

Life Style Change Program for Loosing Weight
By
minootoo
Who needs to loose weight?
Answer is simply not every one, only the over weight person.
Who is over weight?
This is simple, it is easy to find out and it is available on line, it is call Body Mass Index, and calculations are simple. According to this calculation if you find your self say only 10 pounds more, you may not be over weight. Remember every one is slightly different and you can just watch it, on your own and not let it get out of hand.
What is the reason for being over weight?
This is also simple, have doctor check you out for any physical or hormonal abnormalities. The doctor should be advising you of your ideal weight even though you have already figured out the ideal weight and you are seen a doctor because your weight is not where it should be according to BMI.
Basic understanding of loosing weight.
Every one uses calories at all time. There may be some exceptions to this rule, for most of us; the rate of use, even when we are resting, we use 65 calories per hour minimum. This comes to1560 calories per day. The actual range is between 65 and 100 calories per hour. This is consistent with heart rate of 60 to 80 bits per minute.
Simply put any person eating only say 1500 calories a day will not put on any additional weight. At this level of calories consumption the person should loose some weight over long haul, depending on the individual rate of metabolism.
What is a healthy weight loss?
When one tries to loose weight, one should loose excess fat; there should be a healthy loss of weight. Loosing muscles tissue is unhealthy.
How much is one pound of body fat?
One pound of body fat weight is approximately same as one pound of butter. If you look at a one pound package of butter, you will see it contains between 3200 to 3600 calories. This means that each time a person burns 3600 more calories then what the person takes in, the person will loose one pound.
How many pounds should a person loose in a month?
Any one that is trying to trim down can figure out how long it took to put on the excess pounds. The fact is; it did not happen over night. It usually creeps up, but the person realizes one day suddenly.
This is why a person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Do not wait for New Year.
Taking above in to consideration a person should not loose more then 2 pounds per month. If a person looses any thing more then that, chances are that the person will not be able to maintain the weight loss. It will take extra efforts to loose and it will take extra efforts to keep it off. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
When an overweight person should start loosing weight?
At once. The person should not be in a hurry to loose weight. The person should start at once but go slowly. Again do not wait for New Year.
How does body react to weight lose?
Any time there is depletion of fat beyond certain level, the body reacts by slowing down metabolism, so that it can build up fat. If the body is use to say 2000 calories per day and detects only 1500 calories per day for considerable length of time it reacts to the situation by reducing the rate of metabolism. When this happens one need to help body by increasing activity. Usually takes about four weeks for body to react.
What is the relationship between body and body fat?
Under ideal condition fat act as a reserved energy source for our body. Certain level of fat is good for healthy living and even may save our life in certain life threatening situations. Every one should have minimum required level of fat on their body.
What if there is no weight loss at 1500 calories in take level?
This is a rear occurrence. Do not panic. The body has slowed down the metabolism to such a great extent that you must help it. The only way to help is to increase activities, this means you have to exercise. You do not need to join Gym but you can go on an an half an hour walk every day or batter still engage in a power walk for same duration. Power walk burns 250 calories per hour and walk burns 100 calories per hour approximately.
What is the importance of body fat for a female?
Females require little more body fat then men. In the absence of certain required level of body fat, females are not able to function properly; in particular they may not be able to conceive. You can find lot more about this on internet.
At 1500 calories intake per day what one must drink and eat?
Drink
One gallon of liquids most of witch should be in the form of water (zero calories).
Calories should be accounted for all other liquids.
Why water?
Water is a universal solvent, means it dissolves almost every thing at least in very minute quantities. This helps purification of body.
Eat
What should be your proportionate in take of fat, Proteins and Complex Carbohydrates?
This depends on what your need are.
1.Need to reduce fat.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 30 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
Proteins: 60 percent of 1500 calories per day = 900 calories.
2.Need more energy.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 40 percent of 1500 calories per day = 450 calories.
Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.
3.Need to reduce weight only.
Fat: 25 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 375 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 25 percent of 1500 calories per day = 375 calories.
Proteins: 50 percent of 1500 calories per day = 750 calories.
4.Need to increase muscles bulk, but still reduce weight.
Fat: 10 percent of 1500 calorie per day = 150 calories.
Complex Carbohydrates: 15 percent of 1500 calories per day = 225 calories.
Proteins: 75 percent of 1500 calories per day = 1125 calories.
Exercise the muscles you want to develop, you can find right exercise on line, recommend use of light weights.
Foot note: To take fat is so important, while reducing even fat, that it is included in all cases. If the fat is completely cut out, body will think of producing the fat, and will produce the fat by reducing metabolism, without fat in take, you may actually again weight even at lower than 1500 calorie level. You will feel run down and lethargic.
How one must, drink and eat?
Drink
Every one may not be able to follow this regime.
A 16 oz glass of water first thing in the morning will be very healthy start.
If you need to stabilize your stomach before eating, you can have a glass of water just before each and every meal. This is the easiest way to meet your quota of gallon of liquids.
Eat
To day almost half the world is starving.
In western culture. Standard healthy practice for long time was three warm square meals per day. No eating in between, but children were allowed night cap.
All that has changed, present thinking is 5 to 6 times per day. Any way what practice one follows is up to them; to each his own.
Another best practice will be a glass of water before bed time, nothing to eat for two hours before bed time.
How do I know the calorie count for various drinks and food?
If you are buying packaged items it is on the package.
Go on the internet and find the calorie information.
Lots of cook book now a days list calorie per serving.
Use your best guess, in this method use higher figure then you have guessed.

Increasing the Height
By
In rare cases, you can increase the height up to age 30.
Cycling is good exercise and fun too.
You need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first.
The FEW things I did at least helped me.
Swimming.
Not just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming. Remember slow and steady wins the race.
Stretching exercises on floor.
Find them on line.
Chin ups.
Full stretch type.
Swinging from a rope.
Full stretch climbing.
In other words do things that require stretching.
STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH
PS
In the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time

Cut out your cheese's, or atleast get reduced fat. Cheese is high in fat, and can go on most anything. Make sure you arn't drinking unneccasry calories, even sports drinks and so called viteam waters have 100 calories in them. Park your car further away when you go shopping. instead of having potatoes or frys with your meals, add an extra portion of veggies. They have I can't believe its not butter spray, it taste like butter but has 0 calories per serving, so switch out your butter/margrain use with the spray. Also salad dressing, most is pretty high in calories… use vingerette spray or anything low in cals. Just so small tips, without drastically changing your diet!!

Find a sport that you like or if you are older walk one way until you start to fell a tiny but tired; then walk back. For me thats like six miles one way and 51 /2 back (short cut). At least do 40 min.
If you like to eat try eating fruits instead of that unhealthy fast food. Try not using the microwave. Don't drink carbonated drinks.
All of these should help you a lot and don't forget your greens.

I have read books and web and past experence. there are 2 kinds of fat: Good and Bad fat. good fat is in your your brain mostly and your body makes it. Bad fat is from like McDonald's or something like that.
