I Need Help With Some Weight Loss Advice. I Am Wanting To Lose About 30 Pounds.?
Currently I am 5′7″ and I weigh 170 pounds. I do NOT want to pack on muscle right now…I want to melt away the fat and lose weight. I’m about to go back on Weight Watchers which I did years ago and had success with it. What can I do and how often do I need to do it? I have a gym membership too…thanks!
In addition to 60 minutes of cardio a day (Walking, jogging, swimming, dancing, or jumping rope are great!) I do ab circuits multiple times daily. These help you get toned which equals a sexy body which equals more confidence. When your body feels stronger, your confidence shines through.
*100 crunches
*50 bicycle crunches
*25 leg lifts
*balance your weight on your right elbow (20 seconds)
*balance your weight on your left elbow (20 seconds)
*20 push-ups
Tip: always keep your abs tight (even when sitting or walking)
Diet: eat foods low in sodium to counteract bloating of the stomach; eat healthy food all around
For arms, legs, etc. I use resistance bands, weights, and do squats and lunges (50 lunges at a time and 25 squats at a time).
Small changes are a key to starting a healthier lifestyle
*Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
*Walk up the escalator if there aren’t stairs.
*During a break from work, just go outside and walk (you’ll be more inspired to keep at it if it’s outside on a pretty day) or do a few squats.
*Start small: Do a few crunches/ push-ups each day, and steadily increase the number.
*Even though your schedule is busy, try to fit in at least 30 minutes of walking or some other cardio. (jogging, swimming, jumping rope)
*Turn on some upbeat music and just dance… At home, this isn’t embarrassing or anything. Just relax and dance; it’s really fun!
*Throw out all the junk food in your house, and don’t let yourself buy any… When you’re tempted to buy/eat junk food, picture yourself as gorgeous and thin… that’ll keep your focus on the goal.
*Switch to whole grain foods; they are much healthier.
*Choose healthier snacks… We’re always tempted by sugary and high calorie snacks like we find in vending machines. Instead pack an apple, a rice cake (they are REALLY good), or a nutrition bar.
*Add more servings of fruits and vegetables; it’s tough, but they are healthy and can fill you up faster.
*When fixing a meal, prepare everything then put up the bags, boxes, etc. so you won’t be tempted by seconds.
*Brush your teeth right before and after a meal. It will curb your appetite.
*Eat slowly and take smaller bites because the “I’m full” hormones will be signalled better.

Perhaps a vegetarian diet might help as very few vegetarians are overweight.
As there could be health risks perhaps a search for vegetarian + “health hazards” might be of interest.
