Weight Loss Question and Answer Weight Loss Answers

What is a successfully weight loss/diet plan I can follow?

I'm not "majorly overweight," but I really need to loose about 20 pounds by sometime next year. If anybody has a successful plan or story, I'd be happy to hear about it and maybe it could help me:) I know that you have to lift weights to burn fat and eat 6 meals a day to boost your metabolism, but I'm just not sure "what" weight lifting exercises I should be doing and "what" foods I should be eating.
Thanks:)

  1. fat reserves up to a normal extent are good to the body as they play a vital role during conditions like starvation but if they exceed beyond the normal limit then they gets accumulated in the muscle tissue and leads to many problems related to heart and it may also lead to the major disease diabetes.
    the perfect way to reduce the weight is drink plenty of water daily.it acts as a ideal fat consuming agent by the emulsification of the fats.
    emulsification is the break down of complex fats to simple fats by the suspension of the complex fat molecules in the water.
    coming to the exercises,it might be boring to do the exercises in gym daily so,do the exercises that are a part of your daily life like lifting the objects,walking,dancing etc.,
    coming to the end consume the foods that are low in fat content like pulses,leafy vegetables,fish and fruits.
    i hope my answer might be of some use to you
    wishing you good luck!

  2. Keys to losing weight
    1)Diet = daily caloric intake reduced by 500 calories below what is required for your weight. Do reduce and more than this or your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down as much as 40%. Then there will be no weight loss and you will wonder why. Eat 3 well balanced meals ( carbs, including complex carbs & protein in each meal). Spread your calories out evenly. Cut right back on the sweets and fatty foods.
    2)Cardio = The most important part of losing weight and doing so quickly. It can be something as simple as 30min. of brisk walking daily and worked progressively up to 2 hours 3 to 4 days per weeks and 1 hour on the in between days. A large volume of cardio will be where you really notice the biggest losses. When in school and after school it is very important to be very active in many sports when your body is maturing. Cardio can also be split up into segments. Whatever works for you.
    3)Weights = circuit training where you do 1 set per body part and upon completion that will be 1 superset. The number of supersets can be built up to 4 or 5. No rest between sets but a 1 minute rest after each superset.
    4)Abs = A good ab routine that hit all parts of the abs (upper & lower abs, obliques & sides). 1 superset of (1 set crunches + 1 set kneeins + 1 set crunches>to right knee then down & up to left knee + 1 set sidebends). As you get use to this build up reps and supersets. Once abs are very strong add on weight to build ab thickness. Very important.
    5)Rest = very important and often overlooked. In the gym you do not grow there. That is where you tear down your muscle fibers. At home with proper rest and good nutrition is where you rebuild your muscles bigger & stronger.
    6)Supplements = you do not need all of these fancy named supplements. You just need a basic whey protein with no added carbs so that you can add your own carbs. I also take a multi vitamin to ensure I am getting all of the nutrients my body requires. I also take a capsule with plant sterols & plant lipids. The plant sterols are perfectly legal and they kick my butt, and have greatly increased my strength. I feel that the plant sterols may mimmick testosterone in a way.
