dieting and weight loss help?
what are good excirses and diets that help loose weight? i want to know what would be good excirsises that i can do indoor rather than outdoor!!
eat a well balanced diet. eating more, smaller meals instead of 3 big meals can help. exercise more-depending on what you have or if you go to a gym. you could always run on a treadmill, the eliptical machines are good. core secrets by gunnar peterson (he works with a lot of celebrities) is a good workout system
dear riaan
<br/>if you are generally overweight then it is a good idea to use an energy-reduced, low-fat, high-fibre diet (click on 'diet' at the top of this page, 'weight loss', ‘balanced diet’ and then on 'slimming diet' for a copy of such a diet), but there is no specific diet that will only make you lose weight on your tummy. doing targeted exercises like situps and some cardio exercises (e.g. brisk walking, cycling, swimming, skipping, etc) to assist overall weightloss, will help to tighten the muscles of the tummy and improve your appearance.
<br/>best regards
<br/>dietdoc dear marv<br>because this is just as much of a problem as losing weight, i wrote a number of articles on the subject of gaining weight. click on &#39;diet&#39; and &#39;view old diet & food site&#39; and read the articles on &#39;to gain weight i & ii&#39;. this info should help you. it is also a good idea to join a good gym and ask the instructor to work out a programme that builds muscle - mainly weight training and you can try one of the protein supplements - ask at your chemist.<br>good luck<br>dietdoc hi lizzie<br><br>trampolining is not a very well studied form of exercise so i can&#39;t really say how it compares to running or cycling or aerobics or any other cardio exercise. i must confess that i am not convinced that trampolining alone will offer a very effective form of cardio training to become fit. i believe that the intensity that you get from trampolining is very difficult to raise to the sorts of levels you could easily to in running, cycling etc. and for that reason, i don&#39;t believe it is as effective a weight loss or fitness tool as these activities. having said that, i do believe that it could be part of a well balanced exercise routine, because it offers basically no impact and certain exercises that are good for balance, flexibility and to a lesser extent fitness. however, i do think that you should consider making trampolining part of, rather than the the focus of training.<br><br>if you do decide this, then i would suggest that you folow one of the programmes on the following website:<br><br>http://www.health24.com/fitness/getting\_started/16-474-488,24069.asp<br><br>good luck dear veggie<br>you can purchase an excellent book called "versatile vegetarian recipes" by hilda lategan (contact hilda on mwhildal@mweb.co.za or phone; (012) 546-6410. the recipes in this book all feature the fat and energy contents so that you can select the low-fat, energy-reduced ones for your diet. remember that doing regular exercise is also important when it comes to losing weight - join walk for life or a good gym.<br>good luck<br>dietdoc to get better at dancing start by stretching every morning. practicing muscle memory by repeating the same technique, skill, or routine will further aid in the advancement of dancing. reviewing old pieces and watching dance videos will also help. eating healthier and training in spare time will help to condition the body to dance longer, stronger, and better. foods don't burn fat, but there are some people trying to sell that idea. our bodies are in balance. if we eat more calories than we use, we gain weight. if we eat fewer calories than we use, we lose weight. people who stay the same weight eat more than they use on some days, and less than they use on other days... but it averages out over time. eating fewer calories than needed, will burn fat. see more... @ballsortahard thanks for sharing this story! would you be able to share the specific exercises that were recommended for you? a low carb diet basically focuses on meat (hopefully lean protein like chicken or pork) with high fiber, low starch vegetables like leafy greens. avoid grains and avoid root vegetables, as these are high in starch. of course, avoid sugary snacks, as well. see more... all you can do is do your best and aim as high as you possibly can. everybody has limitations, not everybody can "win". there will always be somebody better than you in some way: taller, better looking, more money. it doesn't matter, because most people don't even strive for greatness.maybe you run that marathon and you come in like 20th or something. you didn't win. but you came 20th out of thousands of people. those thousands of people also trained, and are fitter than the average person. they guy/girl who came in 1000th, 2000th, 3000th, 10,000th place is fitter than the average person. the average person doesn't exercise at all. the average person could barely run a half a marathon, they couldn't even complete that.the same goes everywhere else. i like to lift weights. plenty of guys are bigger and stronger than me. but i'm much stronger than the average guy. 65% of guys are obese. of the remaining 35%, the majority are scrawny and out of shape. simply lifting weights regularly, eating right, and having the discipline to do that sets you apart from probably 80% of men in that area.that's all that's really required. dear jm<br>caffeine does not slow down weightloss. in fact it can raise your basic metabolic rate slightly because it is after all, a stimulant. so i think that has happened here is that you had very dramatic weightloss during the first 2 weeks, but that you have now slowed down to a steady loss rate. it is perfectly normal to lose about 0,5 kg per week and slow, but steady weightloss is preferable to a rapid loss which can lead to just as rapid a regain. so stick to your diet and persevere. if you feel up to it, try and do some physical activity like going for a walk once a day for about 30 min. start slowly and then increase how fast and far you walk as you lose more weight and get fitter.<br>hang in there<br>dietdoc
