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.

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 tha
Lay on your back and put your hands palm down under your buttocks. You're going
to lift your legs about 6 inches off the ground and hold them there for 5
seconds and repeat 10-15 times and then rest for a couple minutes and repeat 2
more sets. If you can't to both at the same time, just do one leg at a time and
rotate legs rather than resting in between sets.

If you can afford it, one of the best investments you can get is a rubber
exercise band. It has handles and is approximately 6 feet long. You can do all
kinds of exercises that are just as effective as any exercise machine and the
best part is its about $15 as opposed to $1500

fat some celebrities are told by their trainers to do 50 crunches a night, they
also do 50 lunges for their legs,......just to tell you...so that's what i
recommend doing.....it helps i recently started it...but once you start you have
to stick to it. or you won't get results....

Scroll down on this page, there are lots of exercises you can do using your body
weight as resistance:

http://www.abc-of-fitness.com/info/fitne...

Crunches will help tone your stomach, but you can't target fat loss there.
Basically you have to lose fat all over and to do that you need to control what
you eat and do some cardio exercise like walking, running, swimming, cycling.
These exercises will also help to tone you up.

There are cheap pieces of equipment that can really help - resistance bands,
resistance tubes, fitballs, dumbbells.
