Running, biking, swimming, boxing, tennis, dancing, and myriad other activities count as cardio. So if your knees aren't too thrilled about pounding the pavement, turn to other options. Running, tae kwon do, aerobics, and rope jumping are some of the highest calorie-burning activities out there [13] X Research source. Look into high-intensity-interval-training. The Journal of Physiology released a new study that stated "HIT means doing a number of short bursts of intense exercise with short recovery breaks in between.
The authors have already shown with young healthy college students that this produces the same physical benefits as conventional long duration endurance training despite taking much less time and amazingly, actually doing less exercise! Begin weight-training.
Cardio is great, yes. You definitely need it to lose weight. However, in order to get the best results, you need to do cardio and weight-train [14] X Research source. Cardio can be done every day while weight-training cannot. Your muscles need time to heal. Aim for a cardio workout as often as possible, but limit your weight-training to a few times per week. Exercise more often. Nothing burns calories faster than brisk exercise. Your training sessions should be around an hour each and should balance cardiovascular activity with strength and conditioning.
Get your heart rate up and your muscles burning. Anything that keeps you active will benefit your weight loss efforts. Be realistic about exercise. If you are rather out of shape by your own doing or because of a physical problem , you may think that you can't work out.
But you can -- you'll just have to work out for longer periods of time. Whether it's low intensity or high, it's still calorie burning and muscle strengthening. Even adding short walks, taking the stairs, and washing the car count towards your calorie expenditure.
If you can't run a 5k right now, relax. Be a little stricter on your diet and walk that 5k in the morning. Every little bit adds up. Perform fasted cardio. Fasted cardio involves engaging in some type of cardiovascular exercise, such as jogging, swimming or rowing, while on an empty stomach. The idea is that without glycogen sugars that enter your bloodstream when you eat from food, your body will begin drawing on its fat stores to convert to ready-to-use energy.
Fasted cardio has been shown to help athletes and dieters burn fat at a much faster rate than traditional forms of exercise. Your blood sugar will already be sufficiently low from not having eaten overnight.
A minute jog at a moderate pace or even a brisk walk will be more than enough to reap the benefits. Give Tabatas a shot. Workouts based on the Tabata Protocol, named after the scientist who invented it, are simple yet infinitely challenging: all you have to do is pick a single or compound movement and do it for 20 seconds at a time, with a 10 second rest break in between, for a total of four minutes 8 rounds.
Sounds easy, right? Guess again. Tabatas are one of the most intense forms of exercise there is and should only be attempted by those who are fit enough to handle it. Method 3. Determine your basic metabolic rate.
No matter what you're doing, your body is using energy at a certain rate. This will tell you how fast you're burning calories and therefore how much activity you must do and how many calories you need to cut to meet your weight loss goals. And yes, it does take into account your age, gender, and activity level. Determine your physical activity level.
A number is assigned to each tier of activity. It is taken into consideration when calculating your daily calorie burn. Figure out your needed daily calorie burn. To determine this caloric rate, multiply your BMR x your physical activity rate. It may seem like a high number; don't forget: You burn calories even while sleeping. For example, if your BMR is 3, and you currently get moderate exercise, all you have to do is multiply 3, by 1. For a goal of 20 pounds in a single month, you'll have to cut at least 2, calories a day using both diet and exercise.
A steep goal, indeed. Sweat the pounds away. Monday through Saturday morning I lost 8lbs without really changing my activity level much at all. On Saturday I ate my typical breakfast of 4 egg whites, 2 whole eggs, and oz cooked baby spinach.
I actually had a hard time finishing it whereas this would have almost been an appetizer before. I will also note that all day I drank about a gallon of water or more.
I started at I will definitely vouch for this diet already! I lost 14 pounds in 14 days in this way, while strength training and doing 10 minutes of cardio three times per week. Hi, Im 23 years old, weigh pound.
Im on a diet almost for a month and I lost only 4 pound. Here is the list what Im eating. Morning, I drink a of soya milk 80 cal with a tea spoon of sugar. Afternoon, I only eat one fruit such as kiwi or apple. Evening, pm I ate on sun,tue,thur and sat veggie soup I mixed in my soup corn carrot cabbge green beans lental and on mon, wed, and fri I ate salad with 2 piece chicken breast.
Around pm i ate 3 oranges for my dinner and a very small amount of chikpeas. I drink 4 litres of water. And also im breast feeding as well. Someone please tell me what Im doing wrong and what should I exactly do to lost atleast 15 pound. Thanks in advance. Nursing infants need lots of fats and they only get into the breastmilk from what the mother eats. Just something to think about.
In order to lose weight, you should eat every hours so your body does not get hungry and start storing fat. If your body knows you will be eating every hours it will stop storing fat as long as you are not taking in too much fat. The water intake is good. Also, you should try to exercise at least times per week. It sounds like from what I read that you are not taking in enough food and calories especially if you are breastfeeding.
You may want to check with your doctor and find out how many calories you should be taking in when breastfeeding so the baby gets all the nutrients and you also will get the nutrients. If the baby takes everything, this could have an effect on your body especially your bones if you are not receiving enough calcium.
I am a mother of 2 and breastfed both my kids and I can understand how frustrating it is to face yourself in the mirror each day. You can worry about losing the fat later by eating healthy food and exercise. If you still want to lose weight now, why not do it gradually, start by eating small portions and more frequent like every 2 hours with healthy snacks like fruits, veggies.
Yoga also helps in toning your body. Breastfeeding made my body hold on to pregnancy weigh until my son was done nursing. He nursed for one year, and once he weaned himself, I started dropping weight like crazy. Ironically, I was much less hungry and ate less whilst nursing than I did during the pregnancy, but still retained the weight.
I think my body reacted to the lactation hormones in such a way that it was near-impossible to lose the weight until after I was done lactating. It took me about a year and a half to get back down to my normal weight of lbs. It takes time to lose the weight, especially when BFing, as your body is awash in all kinds of fun hormones right now.
Just enjoy your baby, eat well and eat enough. Your breast milk is probably fine, but only at your expense, and it cant go on forever. Your body will eat up lean muscle mass and hoard every calorie you consume as body fat. DO NOT count calories! If you are hungry EAT. Do exercises at a level you are comfortable with. You and your baby will be happier if you FUEL your bodies the right way.
It amazes me the advice some are giving out here!!! Also, you are NOT following this diet even a little bit based on what you list for your food intake. What you are eating is dangerous.
I was anorexic at a young age and the way you worded your post and the amount of food you are eating especially the types and how you seem to be measuring the amounts , is very close to how I started down that path. This will be detrimental to your fitness goals in the long run, as well as detrimental to the child you are breast feeding.
Have you ever supplemented with protein shakes n also become a part of a challenge community to keep you motivated and accountable? I have found these two things to drive me to get in good shape. Have that one day or couple melas that we splurge a bit: just do it before 7pm.

Thanks for the motivation.. I started last saturday and lost about 3. Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver. I am hungry all the time and want to snack a lot. In order for me to stick with a diet, I need an exact meal by meal plan.
We live in the country and I want to go for walks, but we have mountain lions as well as coyotes, so the treadmill will have to be my source. Thanks for any advice. Of course simply just eating that will get you to gain weight for sure. Fruits are very good for you. Especially colorful ones. You know what they say an apple a day keeps a doc away. Hi guys, I really want to loose weight..
What is the best way to loose weight. I hate myself of being fat. I have no idea. Please guide me to be loose weight. Go crazy on your cheat day though. Yes, fruits are good for you, but this diet requires a very low intake of sugars during the week, and fruit has high levels of natural sugar.
Some fruits are high in sugar. You just need to research which ones and limit the intake. If you eat foods high in sugar especially before you go to bed, these are added calories and will be stored as fat.
Fruits are awesome for replacement of a snacks but on the other hand depending on your level they are still simple sugars. Fruits are good to have. I eat one or two servings a day of strawberries or raspberries. They are lower in sugar and calories. If you really want something sweet look for things like Maltitol, stevia, and xylitol.
Hope this helps! Fruits, all of them, do spike your blood sugar. They are more healthy than candy of course, full of necessary nutrients, vitamins, and fiber, but at the end of the day they are also full of sugar. This does not mean they are bad, after all sugar is a nutrient the body needs glucose. Consuming fructose or sucrose will encourage the secretion of insulin at times this is very good, however when trying to lose weight there are times in which this is not desired.
Some fruits are better than others, a cup of strawberries has only 50 calories and is really filling… other good fruits are grapefruit, apples, raspberries, blueberries and oranges. In the past month i have really started watching what i eat and i work out hard at least 4 times a week, however i have not seen a decrease in my weight and i am getting very discouraged.
I have even gone to the lengths of getting a personal trainer and still nothing. Reading this has been very inspiring and i am going to really focus only eating the foods that Brian has listed, however how does fruit play into the plan?
If any of you are like me, i feel like i have tried everything, and i am ready to get the body that i know i can have. Any advice or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
My dad has been a body builder and personal trainer for 25 years and when I spoke to him about my frusteration he told me a few things. And of course the more muscle you build the more calories and fat you burn by doing nothing. After the month was basically done I started to loose weight quite quickly and have lost 25lbs in two months. Please email me dmelissa14 gmail. What you need to pay attention to is the inches that you are losing. If you are working out and eating right and not losing much weight it is very likely that you are gaining muscle weight which weighs more than fat and losing inches.
Body Fat is based off of your measurements not off of your weight. I have good news for you! Follow this diet as closely as you can and you will see quick results!! I worked so hard they told me they wanted to train me for one of those bodybuilding shows. The only problem was, I never lost a pound. Not in 2 years! My trainer always grilled me about my diet. When I finally ate right, I lost 12 lbs in 3 weeks.
You will lose quicker since you have a little more to lose. It all starts with diet! Either allergic or sensitive two different things. But you can be reactive to a lot of foods and develop further reactive response as you go. If you take a shot of straight whiskey, it may be to strong for you to drink and you dilute it with water. There are other causes of too much blubber but it is beyond the scope of this page to go to deeply into it.
But there is a way of solving your problem. Everybody can lose weight but not everybody knows how to. My mom, for example… hmm. Maybe this has something to do with it. Anyway, good food for thought! Have you gotten your thyroid checked out? If you are eating right and working out and still not losing, it might be worth it.
Hi i was in the same exact boat until this last week so i started at after 4 weeks i was only at with tons of working out until last monday 7 days ago i tried something different and finally today i weighed in at !
Email me hopefully this can help u too. Dear Melissa,,,, Hi my name is sehrish nd i m 21 years old nd married,,,, ndi have a baby boy of 5 months,,, before pregnancy i was so fit nd smart i was about 57kgs nd after delivery i gained weight horribly now i m about 79kgs can u plz help me……????? Before I get pregnant I was only 67kg.
Pls give me some advice on what to do I need to lose 20kg at least. Pls help! Stick with it Kourtney, since you have started exercising you are building muscle which weighs more then fat. Use measurements — chest, waist hips, instead of weighing yourself. Have protein snacks available. I keep Cheddar cheese, cooked chicken cut into bite size pieces, hard boiled eggs, nuts not that many of these though celery with sugar free peanut butter.
Keep going you will get there. Hi, Im 23 years old, weigh pounds Im on a diet almost for a month and I only lost 3 pounds. I dont know what Im doing wrong here is what Im eating. Morning, a cup of soya milk 80cal with a teaspoon of sugar. Noon, one apple or kiwi. Evening, on sun,tue,thur and sat I ate 2 piece of chicken breast with salad and on mon,wed, and fri I ate soup the soup include corn carrot lentil corn strach cabbage.

I been very ill havent been able to keep my food down or in me for 8yrs Dr. I wish you success I know my clothesare falling off of me all by accident. God Bless!
Once you get to your chose weight you will only have to drink two extremely strong Bai Mu Dan cups. If you are breastfeeding, you should be eating nearly calories per day.
See a doctor at once. Mina, I think your def. It would probably help if you consume more calories, esp. Your soups also dont seem to be in line with the plan either. I would say to read over the plan again, stick to the foods listed, and def. If you are breastfeeding you really need to eat balanced meals, with proteins, low carbs and some fat.
Whatever you eat, your baby also eats. For the health of your child, maybe you should start supplementing with formula so they get the necessary vitamins they need. It is hard to lose weight after pregnancy, I have a 8 month old and am still trying.
Mina, apparently soya milk is not so great in e mornign and definitely not sugar. You must must eat protein within half an hour of waking.
That means eggs, meat perhaps or a protein shake, with legumes. The protein in the morning makes you burn fat for the rest of the day. Follow the list of foods for the rest of the day and you can eat a lot more than your current list indicates.
No need to get hungry and starve yourself. But, each year I breastfed her, i gained 5lbs while eating like a cow — i was always hungry. You are younger than me, I had the added problem of being older and realizing that as you get older weight is harder to drop after 30 plus. I now lb but still have all my fat in my stomach genetics but always bad place to carry it. Eat eggs organic they are packed with nutrients for both you and baby and have protein to keep you full.
I drop almost lbs right after i stopped. You sound as if you are in a bad way and should see a doctor to perhaps be assessed by a nutritionist as well. I would like to suggest another way in which to be more relaxed and to also lose weight. It is something I found helped me, Yoga. When starting to practice Yoga take it slow and easy.
If you do more than your body says it can do, you could hurt yourself. Like any exercise program, you need to go slow and stick with it. You might not notice a difference in your weight straight away but hang in there, it will happen. Practicing yoga brings the perfect out of all of us, teaching us to meditate and at the same time, helps relieve all those little things that cause stress in our lives. As well as the Yoga relieving you of the stress, it will also help to strengthen your limbs and your mind and refresh you.
Yes, it even will help you to lose that post baby weight. You will feel your energy level increase because you feel better. Then you can have some fun playing. Please take a look at the above website, and give it a try. I wish you the best of luck. Ornish Diet is based on the almost total elimination of the use of fats.
And if fats are not included in one form or another in almost all foods, than it can be easily called a fatless. Hi I have actually done something similar to this and I actually lost 1.
I actually lost 32lbs doing this, but I worked out everyday for at least an hour. Great information! Im curious how it worked out. I found whenever I hit a plateau on a low-carb diet, gorging on carbs broke the plateau. Glad to see that Tim has researched that more thoroughly and found it to be more than just a fluke for me. Thanks, Tim! This diet can actually reverse type 2 diabetes. Low carbs will Improve glucose control for sure.
Good luck and God bless! So did you try this binge eating advice once a week like this book? I am in a weight loss competition and I want to lose the most fat I can. Im afraid to try this because I dont want to mess up my diet.
What do you think? So far actually enjoying the diet. Need to know the minimum amount of food I can eat in the am. I have a lapband and mornings seem to be the most difficult time to eat.
Even at lunch it seems that the veggies literally take up too much room, leaving less room in stomach for the proteins. If I take vitamins, how important are veggies at every single meal. Any suggestions. With a lap band, sometimes volume of food is a problem.
How important is it to eat a food from all three groups-protein, legumes, veggies- at every meal. Weight loss is going well, about 15 pounds in 3 weeks. Have had at least 1 person daily comment about my weightloss. Of the 3 groups, which is better to leave out or should I alternate leaving out veggies and legumes every other meal.
Oh, I never get hungary, is it ok to skip a meal. Lunch or dinner I can skip occasionaly, but I never skip breakfast even tho breakfast is the most difficult meal to eat due to the lapband. I appreciate answers from anyone. Just wondering about the lap band. If that is working so well why would you need to do this diet? Sounds like the band is a success story. How long have you had it and who did this for you? How many fills have you had……sounds like a good choice. To you success! Would like a response from you.
The lap band worked great. Lost about pounds in 2 years. Not complaining but ther are a few inconveniences. I was really huge and now just want to get off the last 40 or so pounds. I have lost about 15 pounds in the first month, feel much better and I can tell I am stronger in my golf game-distance, stamina, etc due to the kettlebell workouts.
Anyway, I waould have the lapband done again in a heart beat- literally added years to my life. The purpose is to add fiber to your diet, something that having a lap band makes hard to do. Also lap banding forces you to eat smaller portions more frequently, rather than large portions less often.
My lapband doctor told me to make sure i take my vitamines everyday because i still cant eat veggies.. I also have to do a fiber drink so i can get my fiber. Sense there is days i cant eat cause i regeratate he tells me to make sure i drink my protein shakes to get my protein in me.. I know ive come to realize i can eat eggs good and fish they go down pretty good with out pain. Today i started a egg white diet to see how it works.. I know theres time i get aggervated cause i want to eat and enjoy family meals like on holidays thats the hardest for me..
Egg whites is what I do. Or the whole egg! Left over dinners are good too. I see a lot of your diets here, unfortunately most of you will experience the same problem, once your body gets used to the diet plan you are on, it will stop burning fat, so if you can work out 2 meal plans stretching over 2 weeks each, one that you are on now consisting of beans ect.
Soy was promoted by big agribusiness as a health food specifically because it is so bad for you. Even I was hypothyroid after taking soy milk for 2 yrs. Rod, believe it or not, my breakfast is the egg, black bean, and vegetable combo. I actually prefer lentils over black beans. Moving to slow carbs and protein requires a more lunch-like meal for breakfast. This is easier when you realize that breakfast can be a smaller meal, particularly when followed by a lunch hours later. Started slow carb diet today after reading 4 Hour Body over the break.
Had a great breakfast of egg whites, one whole egg, microwaved spinach and onions mixed into the eggs, and a half cup of no fat refried beans. I had this at and my lunch work lunches is not until pm. Its am and I am already hungry!!!! What do you suggest? I know that tomorrow I will up my bean intake at breakfast to fill up. I suggest either an Organic vegan food bar, or greens plus vegan bar from Whole foods. Are you eating enough volume of food during breakfast? Some days it seems like forcefeeding early in the morning, but it pays of well during the rest of the day.
Adams , 30, pounds lost. When my son was about 10 months old, I started working out pretty intensely with weight training in the evenings and cardio in the mornings, five or six days a week. I ended up losing 40 pounds in about three months. I went from pounds down to pounds, and was shocked at how quickly my body reacted to the changes I made.
But then I hit a plateau , and I got pregnant again! After that pregnancy, I weighed pounds. After giving birth, I worked out very hard with a little less cardio and more weight training. While exercising helped me tremendously, I wouldn't have seen results if I kept eating the way I had before. I completely changed my diet by eating lots of lean protein , tons of veggies, small amounts of carbs in the form of oats or grains, eliminating processed sugars , and drinking tons of water.
And of course, I have cheat meals. It's all about finding balance that works for my lifestyle. It took me about four months to get to pounds with 17 percent body fat, and I'm pretty happy where I'm at.
After getting busy with work, a move, and a baby, I saw my weight creep back up. That's how I realized that I had to make healthy changes that I could stick with over the long-term. I've also made brisk walking my main form of exercise because I hate running. I lost 50 pounds in the first six months by focusing on eating right to lose weight.
Then, I fell in love with lifting weights and decided to start building muscle. I stopped weighing myself for a while and watched my body change drastically. What helped me through the process the most was staying consistent. Even if I messed up on my diet, I was in the gym six days a week. You may see this as obvious, but losing weight will be a hard nut to crack without your commitment. Since you will be adopting a short-term diet, then you have to be disciplined in your approach. The aim is not to lose 20 pounds in a month but two weeks.
The moment you begin, you must commit to seeing it through. There are strategies to help you with your commitment, such as telling other people your plan so that they can hold you accountable or even have them do it with you There is no better strategy for losing 20 pounds in 2 weeks without exercise than reducing the amount of calories you consume. Basically, losing weight is made possible when you burn more calories than you take in. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to begin by reducing the amount of calories you take in.
A pound of fat equals 3, calories. This means that you will need to burn the same amount of calories to lose a pound. An intake of about fewer calories will get you on the way to your weight loss journey because you will be able to cut one pound. Alternatively, eating fewer calories per day could help you lose 2 pounds per week However, since you are looking to lose about 10 pounds in a week, you may be forced to further reduce the caloric intake.
Having less than fewer calories in a week is categorized to be in the crash-dieting territory. This is never recommended because the body may not react well to the change. Protein is one of the foods recommended especially for people who think about food all the time.
Protein serves to help you feel full for a longer period. There is evidence that high protein diets lead to a decrease in belly fat while at the same time increasing muscle mass. It also results in higher metabolism during weight loss. Therefore, add to your protein intake, and it will definitely curb your appetite and cravings. Fibre is another thing whose consumption you should increase as you try to decrease your total food intake because it works well for weight loss.
Fibre takes a long time to move through the gastrointestinal tract which means you will feel full for the entire period. In addition to aiding weight loss, fibre also helps trim inches and prevents weight gain 5. There is a close relationship between sleep and weight. Several factors contribute to this, but the biggest of them is that sleep deprivation makes people hungry. Somehow, people in this situation tend to go for less-healthy foods instead of healthier ones. Doing so will make it a lot easier to lose weight faster.
Check out the BetterMe app and set this plan in motion! You should reduce the consumption of white pasta, white bread and white rice if you are to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. The reason for avoiding carbohydrates is because they spike your blood sugar. When the blood sugar is high, it tends to cause cravings that may lead you to eat more than you need which defeats the purpose of your weight loss plan. Furthermore, people who consume many refined carbs are at a higher risk of having more visceral fat than those who eat whole grains You must engage in cardio for you to burn calories.
The best form of cardio for your weight loss needs is high-intensity-interval-training HIIT. HIIT comprises short alternating bursts of speed with slower recovery periods and is the best exercise to lose weight. This type of workout will help you burn up to 30 percent more calories than other types of cardio.
To have even better results, you may consider incorporating HIIT into any other type of workout that you may have already been doing. If your normal routine involves walking, you can add HIIT by alternating between your walk and about 30 seconds of sprinting 3.
