When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.

If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which

will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow

underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without

exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For

diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food

after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on

your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If

you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey

cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your

diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to

calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,

start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the

most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a

lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,

disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target

your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a

bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you

to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Each day you need to burn off more calories than you taking in. This means

1. Managing your diet. Eat food portions that are small to moderate in size if you tend to eat a lot at each meal. Choose foods high in nutrition/low to moderate calorie and avoid junk foods and high calorie/low nutrition foods, e.g. foods that are fried, oily, and fatty, including creamy dressings. You know which one's I'm talking about. ;)

Many trainers recommend breaking your meals into several SMALL snacks throughout the day in stead eating three big meals. This keeps your metabolism higher throughout the day which burns calories consistently at a higher rate. Drinking water regularly also helps.

2. Exercise at least 40 minutes a day. Establish a routine if you can, and you don't need to go to a gym: walk briskly, use stairs instead of elevators, don't ride when you can walk, do housework, do some weight lifts at home for your arms, e.g. small weights, lifting grocery bags, etc. All of these count.

By brisk I mean that you should find yourself breathing harder, but still able to carry on a conversation. Beyond that, your body's not burning fat efficiently.

Good luck!

Keep your daily fat gram intake to 21 grams. Stay totally away from carbs. And get off caffeine. Drink lots of water. It worked for me.

Walk briskly everyday or every other day for at least 15 min.....you don't need a gym..just walk outside around your house....or go to the mall and just walk around. Sit ups are another way...they are easy to do...start with a low number and work on increasing that number every week.

Good Luck!

hmmm... Run much?
