Diet Fitness Questions and Answers
Weight questions, help!! please?
I weight 130 pounds. I'm 5'1, and 12 years old.Should I stay the weight that I'm at? Or should I lose about 20 pounds? My docter said I should try and lose 10 pounds this mouth. I heard that girls my age should weight about 100 pounds. Is that right? If I do need to lose some weight, how can I? Today my mom go me this weight ball. I have bin exercising for about 1 hour. I walk to my school ever day and then I walk back. (about 12 blocks) Then I go to my job. (Painting, but I don't stand up, I sit and paint) Should I walk after school and quit my money paying job? I just need a little bit of help.
Answers: Instead of walking, maybe you can try to speed walk instead. You're not going to lose 20 pounds instantly. But it would be nice to lose weight in a healthier and safer way. I read an article on msn one time that may interest you. Its on "sources". I hope it helps.
Don't quit your job.
Besides exercise, eat healthy. and cut out junk food and cokes.

eat slowly it will make you more full and after meals if your still hungry dont eat anymore it takes your brain 25 minutes to figure out how full you are, and also try your best to get as much exercise as possible like choosing the stairs instead of the elavator. plez also dont go crazy and turn anorexic like some girls have your not overweight you could just lose a couple of pounds.
Dont worry. No need to lose ur confidence. U continue ur exercises and diets. Here one site give more and more details about weightloss and very useful tips to u. If u try this site surely u will see the results.
Diet???????
Ok i need some type of diet plan and dont tell me to go bolimak cuz that ruins lives and i dont want to do anything that hurts my body so diet plans??Answers: I have been on a diet for 3 1/2 months and have lost 53 lbs. I walk at LEAST one mile everyday and I cut my food intake into a third. I eat lunch at 10 and supper at 5 and never any later. I don't eat beef, anything fried, chips, pasta, potatoes, candy, coke.... anything containing sugar, I try to avoid. I quit smoking 9 months ago and gained 15 lbs. I thought to myself if I had the will power to overcome my nasty habit of 9 years, I could lose this weight. Will power is your key to success. I wish you the best during this struggle, because that's exactly what it is. I have a book that states, "Losing weight ISN'T EASY, nothing worth it ever is."
Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can.
For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well.
Eat healthy foods. Avoid trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. Systematic and calorie food / balanced diet play an important role in your change. For more details pls visit this site

How to slim down my thighs?
I seriously have big fat, "thunder" thighs. Lol. But really. I'm 13-years-old and I know I'm still young and all and I shouldn't care about how my body looks, blahblahblah. But I still do. I have a bad habit of over-stuffing myself when I'm not hungry, usually because I'm bored so I drive myself to eat. What are some tips or suggestions on how to slim down my thighs?Answers: Okay.

What makes you gain alot of weight... Hypothyroidism Thyroid or Hypoactive Thyroid ?
Answers: Its all the same... "hypo" means "under"... meaning that the Thyroid gland is working slower that its supposed to. It's being less efficient. "Hyper" would be the opposite... those who have a hyperactive thyroid are usually thin...
The amount of weight gained really depends on the person and the other medical conditions the person may have (like high blood pressure, etc) Sometimes weight gain is right away and other times it takes time (but then it's usually very hard to lose the weight even with correct diet and exercise)
All in all, it depends on the level of hypoactivity and how severe it is.
Hypo is low
Hyper is high
so Hypothyroidism and Hypoactive thyroid are the same thing
they both cause weight gain however this is not very common in people.
How can I make a weight workout more intense?
I would like to know how to make a weight workout as intense as I can so I can get the most out of it. I am on a program, but was wondering how I can make it more intense in a sense that I am working my butt off with other than what I am currently doing.Answers: It depends on what you are doing, and you aren't very specific in what you are asking nor are you specific in what you are doing in your routine.
Since you said you wanted to make your workout more intense (which I am assuming you are keeping the routine you are on) try the following to squeeze more out in the same amount of time:
If you are trying to keep your heart rate up and burn more fat, in between your sets you can do things like jumping jacks, jogging in place, pushups, or simple cardio to get your heart rate in the optimal zone and keep it there. That way during your weight sets your heart rate is up for the entire workout, and it isn't doing the roller coaster normally seen when you lift - rest, lift - rest. What you can do is rotate the simple cardio. Between 1st and 2nd sets of weights, do jumping jacks. Between 2nd and 3rd sets use a jump rope. Then next exercise between 1st and 2nd sets do pushups, between 2nd and 3rd sets jog in place. You can do really light weights too, like flys, kickbacks, or calf raises, instead of the cardio. Again, anything that will keep the heart rate up is what you could go for.
So instead of the traditional 30sec - 1min rest between sets, do the other exercises in their place. Do any of the exercises like 30 jumping jacks instead and then go to the next set.
Also, what you can do during your weight sessions is the easiest thing that I see few people doing, at least the people I've seen working out. Most people just let the weights fall back down without concentrating on letting them down slowly regardless of the exercise.
I.E. Benchpress, instead of just dropping it to your chest, let it down slowly so you are working the chest in both the up and down motion. Same with bicep curls, instead of just letting the weights drop back down, let them down slowly. Same with squats, lat pull down (but instead of letting your arms raise quickly pull down lightly so the weights don't just drop back quickly). Same with crunches (or if you use a Roman Chair for ab work), instead of just letting your body fall, lower yourself slowly. Dips, pull ups, everything! You can lower yourself slowly to work out the muscles on the way up and the way down.
You will find that you squeeze more out of the workout in the exact same time.
Yes you will be more fatigued and you will probably not be able to do the same amount of reps at the exact same weight otherwise... but that's the point. You're working out smarter and not wasting time or energy.
So if you combine both, the light/simple cardio in between sets and then the resistance, you may find it makes for a lot more efficient workout.
Of course everyone one is different, so try it and see if it works for you. The first few times you try it, your routine will be pretty difficult. But you will eventually be able to breeze through it too.
So you might need a personal trainer, or at least get someone to help you figure out what exactly it is you need to do.
HIT training. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbinfo.p...
Lift heavy. Don't rest more than 45 seconds between sets. and 3 minutes between exercises. You lose your pump if you rest more.
A very simple question. You have a numerous number of choices to make, but the easiest are:
-add more weight
-add more sets/reps
-add diffrence exercises that focus on similar muscles
-have a normal (not intense) workout 2-3 times a day
Do whatever you can take, and what you're comfortable with. It's always harder to change up routines.

Sure you can, just cut down on carbs,drink lots of water,
no sugar...Exercise will help too. Good Luck :)
Cut off your arm. you'll lose the weight plus it will be a great effect for Halloween
It's possible by losing water weight. Losing five pounds of actual fat would be very difficult in a short period of time. I lost weight quickly by combining cardio and weight lifting in the same workout. Some good cardio would be running/jogging of course, hitting a punching bag, jumping rope. I try to do cardio 5-6 times a week for 20 minutes.
You really don't have to cut back on the food you eat...just eat more often in smaller portions...that boost the metabolism...which will help you burn off more fat. Drink lots of water to help flush out fats and toxins...no sweets and no fatty foods.
When you get ready for bed at night....lay there on your back...close your eyes ...now visualise the fat melting off your body. Relax....see your body as large block of ice on a hot day...getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Or picture your are a sand sculpture on the beach...the waves are coming in and washing part of you away every minute.
You'll be surprised at how the pounds disappear. Try it...it works. I told a friend to do it and she lost over 25 lbs in one month.
Take a Bikram Yoga class (it's kind of like regular yoga only you are in a heated room with lots of humidity). I lost 4 pounds in an hour and 1/2 in the class, but it is all water weight so i gained the weight back in like 3 days. but it's good if you want to lose the weight temporarily, plus it helps release toxins in your body. good luck!

Is there a best time of day to workout?
Due to my busy schedule I am often forced to workout at very late hours (9-11pm..ish). I was just curious if there was any negative effects to this. I havn't had any problems sleeping or anything like that.Answers: Any time you can work out is a good time.. Some people sware that early morning is best, but not all of us have schedules that go along with that... If those hours work out good for you and you can still sleep then I say keep getting your sweat on...
First thing in the morning is the best time.
My eating disorder skews my perception..?
As a result of my eating disorder i have this skewed view of myself and the food i eat... I will freak out over the smallest things. i know in my heart of hearts im fine and im not going to be huge but the little voice inside me controls how i feel. Anyway today i ate some trail mix and dried fruit after dinnner...i cant stop thinking about it. Its so stupid because i know people snack and splurge and whatever but i always think people are stricter about snacking than i am and bla bla bla....please make me feel better...you snack too right? your not all goody too shoes are you?Answers: Babe I know exactly what your going through! I am a recovering bulimic, and my perception of food is totally out of wack.
I freak out sometimes about eating an apple!
Your not alone, it's just another side effect of recovering from an eating disorder.
Just think about how much healthier you are now that you eat normally.
And stay on track, your doing great. It's hard I know, but you can get through it!
Good luck, and god bless
[:
I LOVE to snack on trail mix! There is nothing wrong with a little healthy-ish snacking. Sometimes, do yourself a favor and have an ice-cream cone, or some chocolate cake. Whatever seems scrumptious to you! Health is made of a well-balanced diet, a body as free of toxins as you can bring yourself to make it, regular exercise, and some sort of prayer/meditation/spiritual seeking. So relax. Have a snack, and ENJOY IT!
Do overhead lifting exercises damage shoulders?
Do exercises such as overhead jerk damage your rotator cuff or lead to lasting damage of any kind?Answers: depends on the weight lifted and how its lifted and how many times its lifted..if all these are done correctly..nothing should be damaged....how do u find out if all these are being done right? ask a trainer..read an article in some health mag..or go on line and find it
no. your shoulders were mad to go in that motion...if done properly you won't damage anything.
Also make sure you stick with your weight, whether you do it properly or not, if you do more weight than you can handle, it will cause you to go out of good form and strain, pull or tear or even worse something.
Easy man , cool and don't jerk it, unless you're only lifting a "PUTO" (rice cake) ....ok, fine, eat now to make your muscles in the abs exercised....but if your lifting about 50% of your body weight....cool man...learn from your PT how to hold it properly and same how to in & ex your air....Ok...right don't loose out your grip on the air....learn too progressive upgrading your W and when to lowering the peak W if you wish to stop....for sometime....air man air...and rest after....sessions to give muscles...time for development...".wag kang mapikon sa 2nd respondent, baka di lang nakasiping kay misis yan dahil may bisita."....hehehe (you want interpreter....later when you close the Q, I'll pen it in the comment...
I just had a baby wats the best and quickest way to lose weight?
i am 145lbs n im tryin to get to 120...help!Answers: While there are many things you can do to shed pounds, losing weight too quickly, like any sudden change to your body, can be dangerous. While fad diets, diet pills, and fasting may indeed induce rapid weight loss, these methods can cause you to lose muscle and may also injure your heart and other organs fairly quickly. The best solution? Don't go for an overnight miracle. Instead, follow these steps to lose fat rapidly, healthily, and sustainably.
Steps:
1.Determine your daily calorie intake. Losing weight is simply a matter of expending more calories than you take in, through exercise and your daily activities. Exercise alone won't make you lose weight if you're still taking in more calories than you burn. However, eating less and exercising more will only decrease your resting metabolic rate, which accounts for roughly 60-80 percent of daily calorie expenditure. Therefore you should exercise harder and eat more protein dense, clean foods; making your calories burned not too far off from your calories taken in will raise your metabolism and allow you to burn fat effortlessly.
2.Write down all the things you eat on a typical day. Carry a small notebook with you and write down every snack, every drink, and the contents of every meal.There are also great websites that you can use to keep track of calories, get recipes, and help achieve your goal. Don't forget to include the pats of butter or the spoonful of sugar in your coffee. It's best to do this for at least a couple weekdays and a weekend; it's even better if you can go a full week. There are also calorie tracking websites that can help you to do this, for example My Pyramid Tracker or The Daily Plate.
3.Do an itemized calorie count. When possible, write down the number of calories in each thing you eat as you eat it. Keep in mind that the serving size container is often considerably smaller than the serving you actually eat. Look up the calorie count on the internet for foods that don't have calories listed on the container or for fast food meals. You don't have to be 100% accurate, but you do want a good estimate of the number of calories you're taking in.
4.Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce. Cutting calories is usually a lot easier than you might think. For example, that daily tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Other easy cuts include salad dressing (salad dressing is the number one source of fat in the average American woman's diet) soda pop, candy, and butter.
5.Look at the nutritional information for the foods you eat, pay special attention to your intake of saturated fats and empty calories (high-sugar foods). You don't need to cut these things out entirely, but if you reduce your intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods you'll lose weight faster.
6.Seek out alternatives to the unhealthy foods you've identified. You can simply reduce the amount of soda you drink or mayonnaise you put on your sandwiches, or you can substitute healthier choices. Drink water instead of soda, for example, or use mustard instead of mayo. Low-fat and low-calorie options are also available for most foods, and many of these are natural, (although some are made with strange chemicals), and tasty.
7.Choose lean meats. Chicken and fish are both very low in fat (and certain fish like salmon, sardines, and fresh tuna are an excellent source of antioxidants, which are also beneficial to your health), so aim to replace some or all of the beef or pork in your diet with these foods.
8.Replace high-calorie side dishes with healthier alternatives. Many people get a ton of calories from side dishes such as macaroni and cheese, French fries, or potato salad. You can eat healthier and lose weight by replacing these with fresh vegetables and salads. Pre-made salads are practically effortless, and when accompanied by a reduced-calorie dressing or no dressing at all, they're weight-loss gold.
9.Start your days off right. A fattening breakfast of bacon and eggs or a pastry can be replaced with yogurt, oatmeal, high-fiber, low-sugar cereals; or fresh fruit or fruit smoothies. However, for those on a low carb diet bacon and eggs are a great combo for breakfast, since neither have carbs. But don't fall into the trap of skipping breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast increases your rest metabolic rate earlier in the day, and reduces snacking before lunch.
10.Plan your meals. Look for healthy, delicious meals online or in your cookbooks, and create a menu for the week. Make sure that your meal plan reduces your total calorie intake: you're not going to lose weight if you consume the same amount of calories by eating different foods. Make a list of what you'll need for these meals, and -- except for a few snacks, of course -- don't stray from your list when you get to the market. Planning your meals helps ensure you get a balanced diet and reduces the temptation to stop off for fast food or order a pizza. Remember, it's easier to stick to your shopping list if you shop when you aren't hungry.
11.Watch your portion sizes. Opening a bag of rice cakes and eating all of them in one sitting isn't going to help you lose weight. When eating chips, nuts, or dried fruit put a portion in a small bowl and then put the bag away. That way you won't mindlessly eat a larger portion than you had intended. Even if you only make minimal changes to your diet choices, reducing portion size will inevitably reduce caloric intake.
12.Graze on healthy snacks. Just because you're getting healthy doesn't mean you can't snack. In fact, eating small meals and snacks throughout the day, or grazing, has been shown to aid weight loss, (compared to eating three large meals a day), by keeping metabolism steadier. Pick snacks that are low in calories and fat and high in fiber (dried apricots, nuts, rice cakes, fruits, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and so on). Vegetables are generally very low in calories, very high in fiber, and full of flavor and nutrition. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes, and try to eat vegetables plain, without fatty dressings or dips. Fruit also makes a good snack. Fruit contains more soluble fiber than vegetables, which slows your body's absorption of carbohydrates, thus releasing energy more slowly, (preventing sugar highs), and keeping you feeling full longer. Fruit juices are not a replacement for the real thing. You need that fiber, and juices often have more calories than the equivalent serving of fruit -- as many calories as soda! Be careful with dried fruits, because without the water, you tend to eat more, and fruits, when dried, are calorie-rich per ounce. With any dry or dried food, be sure to drink plenty of water.
13.Get more fiber. There are many myths about fiber, but there is science to back up its helpful role in the diet. Fiber keeps the right amount of water in your intestines, making your digestive system work more efficiently and helping to keep you regular. Thus, just eating enough fiber may help you feel slimmer in just a day or so. There is also evidence that fiber in the diet can help prevent stroke and heart disease, ease the effects of diabetes, and may even directly help in weight loss.
14.Drink plenty of water. Adequate water is essential for health, and a great many people simply don't get enough. What's more, if you're chronically dehydrated, your body will retain water in unflattering places, so if you make sure to get plenty of fluids you can start visibly trimming down in as little as a day. Remember, the more you exercise, the more water you'll need. See the related wikiHow for more details on how much water you should be getting.
15.Exercise. Remember, you can lose weight either by decreasing your calorie intake or increasing the number of calories you burn. Any health strategy should include both, but if you want to lose weight fast, exercise is essential.
16.Perform high-level aerobic activities. Moderate aerobic workouts incorporating jogging, brisk walking, cycling, aerobic machines, or classes not only burn calories -- they also keep your heart healthy. Swimming is also great, especially if you are quite overweight or have joint problems, because you can get the same benefits of running -- typically burning even more calories -- with much less stress on your joints. Try to get at least 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three or four days per week.
17.Pump some iron. Resistance training, (weight training), can help both sexes stay lean by building muscle and raising metabolism. The fact is, hours and hours of aerobic exercise won't help most people lose weight fast because your metabolism drops back to normal fairly quickly after stopping the exercise. If you gain muscle, however, your body's resting metabolism, (the amount of calories you burn when you're just sitting still), increases, because muscle requires a lot of calories to maintain. Studies have shown consistent weight training to raise the body's metabolism by 15%. This means an average woman might burn 200-300 more calories at rest every day! Resistance training is the gift that keeps on giving! Although, keep in mind that muscle mass weighs more than fat (don't be surprised if you gain weight but look slimmer).
18.Rest properly. This means not only taking at least 24-48 hours between strength training the same muscles, (and taking 1-2 days off from exercising each week); it also means getting enough sleep at night, since sleep deficiency impairs your ability to lose fat.
19.Be realistic. Don't expect a miracle. Healthy weight loss can be achieved fairly quickly, but you'll need to be patient. In addition, be sure to set realistic goals. Make sure that the weight you're trying to reach is a healthy weight for you, and keeping in mind that gaining pounds of muscle will help you lose fat, be trimmer, and look better even though you don't actually lose any weight. Your goal should be a healthy body, not a number of pounds!
20.Make adjustments. A successful weight loss strategy based on reducing calorie intake and increasing activity can be adjusted to maintain your desired weight once you reach it. Unlike typical diets, this method is sustainable -- it is a lifestyle change, not a binge-and-purge exercise. Slowly adjust your diet and exercise to include more weight training and calories, as much as is comfortable for you. If you do gain any weight back, you want that weight to be lean, toned muscle, not fat. In addition, weight training, no matter what your age, prevents muscle atrophy and can help stave off osteoporosisis.
Warnings:
1.Do not try to starve yourself. In the short run, reducing your calorie intake to unhealthily low levels will slow metabolism and actually cause you to lose weight more slowly. In the long run, starving yourself (anorexia or bulimia) can kill you.
2.When creating a weight lifting routine, do not focus on a single muscle or group, doing so will overbuild that muscle while under building others - in other words, if you work your biceps, and not your triceps, your arms will begin to naturally curl inward and you will look silly. If you work your chest and not your back, you will have a hard time maintaining good posture as your pectoral muscles overpower your back muscles and pull your shoulders naturally forward.
3.If you have a serious medical condition (such as asthma or diabetes, or allergy to protein such as dairy products or you have lactose intolerance) or you are severely obese, consult with your doctor as well as a dietitian.
4.Do not take any harmful drugs. They are unhealthy and may ultimately make you gain weight instead.
5.Carefully consider whether you need dietary supplements. Most people can get the mineral and nutrients they need through eating food, For example, the multivitamin supplements can make you overdose in other vitamins you need, and you can't store most water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C as excess will be urinated. But just because you are under the recommended value don't always mean you are deficient in it. So only use supplements when the doctor and dietitian says you need to.
6.Losing weight too quickly is dangerous and can have adverse effects on your health. Despite the title of this article, getting into shape is best done slowly. If you find yourself losing more than a pound or 2 (or more than 500g)each week, you are probably doing something wrong.
7.Be regular in your sleeping habits.
are you breast feeding?
you will lose weight with that!
if not just start walking , put the baby in the stoller and walk for 15minuted = 1 mile. and increase you will be fine
Okay. Cut out eating in between meals.
Only eat healthy food and cut down on Carb’s like bread, potatoes, pasta's, rice, cereals, lollies etc. These are the fat making foods. Learn exactly what your food groups are so you then know what puts the weight on and off.
Don’t add salt to your meals. Cut out soft drinks.
Then walk an hour every morning two hours after a meal and the same in the afternoon.
If you can jog in between both sessions you'll burn even more calories.
You should lose and continue to lose more weight as you go.
If you can cut out your lunch meal and replace it with a protein drink instead that would also help. Available in supermarkets.
As long as you can stay off junk food and eating in between meals. If you have to eat something in between have something like small raw carrots or celery sticks.
Herbal teas and water are your best choice of drinks.
Summary:
Choose a cereal low in sugar for breakfast.
Lunch can be a protein drink. Like “Slim Right”.
And all normal meals at a normal serve. Cut down on potatoes and only have small portions of these. Walking as much as you can.
For those that want to build more muscle add some gym work to the above as well.
