Just go for a walk. Every day try to walk just a lil bit more than the day before. Stay dedicated, walk in the rain, you won’t melt. You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

Carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want “something” have huge omelets for breakfast, with bacon, a lil onion, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad. Steak for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.

High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.

Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

Question by : Anyone know where on the web I can get workout videos?
Im a 30/f that needs to lose a few. I have searched but I can’t find a good workout routine. I’m not fat or anything, I just need to lose a few before the summer gets here. I get bored easy so it needs to be a somewhat busy workout, not the same old boring situps and stuff. Dance/Fitness would be great! Online free videos is what Im looking for.

You can get exercise video downloads from http://www.workoutsondemand.com — They have just about everything. Some are free, some are not. Here is one of their free ab workouts, I did it and I really liked it:

Try doing pilates. Youtube, and veoh have a couple of winsor pilates videos, just type it up in the search engine. They’re not that long about 20-30 minutes. You can also search Core Rythms on veoh, there are a couple videos for that. I hope that helps you out!

Question by ♥: What size exercise ball should I use?
Hello, well I’d like to start using an exercise ball so I can make my ab routine and upper body exercise routine more challenging. The problem is I have no idea which size ball to get. I’m 4’11 and I don’t think weight is a factor in deciding the size. Also where can I find ball workouts online. Advance thanks to everyone for your advice and suggestions.

Answer by stalkr23
they generally go by height. check out http://www.power-systems.com – i have recommended them to previous clients and those are the kind we use at my local ymca. i do believe they also list workout tips on the site as well, but most balls will come with instructions and a small workout guide to help you. any further questions check out my website, i do consultations www.pointnutrition.com

Question by Andy B: What is a good workout routine with an elliptical runner?
I have an elliptical runner that I barely use and a few extra pounds I could stand to lose. I’ve lost a little touch on my exercise side and I was wondering a good routine with the elliptical runner? 3 days a week? 5 days a week? A half an hour? I really don’t know what to do. I would like to lose around 15 pounds and then after that just run for cardio.

Best answer:

Answer by sorrow_sweet
probably just 3 days a week and about 25-30 minutes each time
