wyantm06 Posted October 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 IDK i always thought they were a hoax. My advice: if u want to lose weight maintain a strict diet and exercise and thats all you have to do. My problem is planning what to eat. I want my doctor or someone to make me a list to what to eat and when to eat it. All my doctor always says is eat a yogurt and that's all. I wish I had a plan to what to eat every day and what to eat at the times. That's why my diets never last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc11890 Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 yeah but u still have to exercise and diet along with the pills. Usually they speed up metabalism but to speed up metabolism u need to eat 5-6 meals a day. Eat Smaller portions more frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there are a few. but they are mostly illegal in this country because you are more likely to die from them or get really sick then loose weight because most more then double the output of your atomic acid so over time it eats away at your atomic.

amc11890 Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 My advice for you is to eat 5-6 times a day, stay away from junk food, get enough sleep. Exercise!!! Tredmill, jog, sports. Also once u start losing weight it would be good to start lifting weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I fine? I plan on doing like sit-ups and liftign weights every night now. if i were you i would diet and do cardio. Wait till you lose more weight before you start weight lifting. Tredmill is a good start. Try 5 min walking, 5 min jogging, 5 min walking, 5 min jogging...etc. Also drink lots of water and clean up your diet also do not do weight lifting every day, 3-5 days a week would be fine. My routine is a as follows Monday: Biceps, back Tuesday:triceps, chest Wednesday:Shoulders, legs Thursday:Biceps, back Friday:Triceps, chest Sat: cardio Sun: rest For now do cardio 3 days a week and once u start loosing weight then start pumping iron.

Anything I can do aroudn the house for runngin and stuff? i would have said jogging but i understand if it too cold. Also sports are great too: basketball, football..etc Stair stepping if u have stairs in ur house. IF there was some indoor place you could jog that would work. Also have u considered joing a gym? they arent too expensive but wat do i know my parents pay for it. biking works too but it still it too cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disturbed Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 315lbs and 6 feet tall is, not trying to be mean, realisticly overweight i wouldn not advise you to lift weight at all....it wont help you much, if anything, you will gain more weight since muscle is heavier than fat what you really wanna do is get all the excess fat out of your body, tone it pretty much - once you are where you would like to be, lift weight all of us have muscle - and your muscle will show off after you lose excess fat on your body - i can guarantee you that weight loss pills do work indeed....hydroxy cut (the ephedra free one) does a fantastic job if you pair it with daily exercise - i can vouch for that - i experienced no side effects and it helped me burn fat faster - but only if you exercise that will happen ......if you have time, go on a threadmill or something similar, 45min to an hour a day, 3-4 times a weeek....and in couple of weeks you will feel much better (if you stick to it) - the hardest is always to start...once you get the momentum rolling....you will keep going since you will like your results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltageman Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 Remember you may GAIN weight initially, due to the fact you are replacing fat with muscle, which by volume weighs more, but is much healthier. Once you get accustomed to the cardio, and can push yourself further, you will notice the weight coming off faster. A few easy ways to get more exercise on an average day... - Don't park close to a store you plan to shop in it...It's easier to find a spot further away, and you get exercise by walking, plus most likely you won't buy too much, because you will realize you have to carry it too far.. - Take the stairs...I never take elevators, unless its like 5 floors or more. - Don't use drive thru's. Get your ass out of the car, and walk in to buy the extremely nutritious meals that are offerred by our fast food establishments. On an average week, you'd be surprised how much walking it adds up to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the money atm to go to a gym. I need to find a substitute way to run, jog, walk. I will most likely run around my block until winter starts then I don't know what to do.

amc11890 Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 Eat more often with smaller portions to speed up metabolism aswell. and also dont SKIP breakfest or any meal for that matter, starving yourself is not going to help also when you start feeling tired during ur workout, thats when u really need to push ur self.

wyantm06 Posted October 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 I don't think I got an answer but how many calories should I contain in a day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 calories=energy. I cant give you a specfic number as too as many calories you should consume but the main goal is to burm more calories than you consume. i wouldnt even worry so much about calories, focus on a clean diet 2000 calories would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted October 13, 2006 CID Share Posted October 13, 2006 Tread mill.Definatley try local paper for this. Never buy new treadmills. Do you realize how many people buy one and never break it in, or even sometimes never even start it up? And they are willing to get rid of it cheap. Also check out an exercycle, you know, a bicycle for exercise on a stand. Also set a T.V. right in front of it. It is much easier not to get bored if I have a program to watch. Pretty soon a 1/2 hour has passed so quickly. Also get the stats board model. Meaning calorie, mileage, time counter, it is handy also. And the cup holder is nice for a water bottle. Padded if you can find it. Sweats also help. A girl should not work out to lose weight, it will build too much muscle. A guy should not have to worry about it. We had several guys over weight in my weight lifting class and they lost plenty. Just work up moderatly till you get where you want to go. And what you are looking for is more of a proper diet. Just remember if you go about it too hard you will burn out. Take a day off a week to enjoy your day. Also wearing sweats during workout will help burn calories without extra work. And shower after wards. And always do your cool down after workout, so as not to cramp up. Meaning do the same exercise at a much slower rate to slow down, not just abruptly stop. That is hard on you. I used to weigh 120 and lift 185 back in high school, our teach was a previous Green Bay Packers player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
