Answer:
Always Think Fit:First step in exercise is to always Think FIT. To make physical improvements, you need to work your body harder than usual. This is referred to as the overload principle. As your body becomes more conditioned, you need to increase the frequency, intensity, or time of your workouts in order to continue improving your fitness levelChoosing an Exercise:
The best exercise is an activity that you enjoy enough to really pursue enthusiastically.
鈥ndoor (Facility) Activities: If the treadmill, stairmaster, rowing machine or stationery cycle doesn't excite you, sample some group activities that strike your fancy. Participate in a group cycling class, beat stress with yoga, find balance with martial arts, stay cool with indoor swimming, or kick some you-know-what with boxaerobics.1. Change your eating habits (i.e. start eating smaller portions of food) before if you ate a full plate of food try eating 2/3 of a plate instead.
2.
o Substitute aspartame for sugar
o Try eating 3 or 4 smaller meals during the day rather than 2 large ones
o Eat your main large meal at midday with the other meals much smaller in content
o Don't eat heavy meals late in the evening as the body wont have time to digest it so it ends up stored as fat in your body.
o Balance your meals out during the day so in one day you have a mix of protein, carbohydrate and vitamins
o Drink lots of water during the day and before, during and after exercise, you should drink at least 8 big glasses of water per 24 hours
o Drink alcohol in moderation
o Stop smoking if you smoke or cut down
o Eat more fibre i.e. pulses grains nuts, pasta, brown rice, cereals, fresh fruit
o Eat more vegetables as part of your diet
o Eat less dairy products or choose those with less fat content i.e. cottage cheese
o Try steaming or poaching food instead of frying it, frying adds calories by the bucketful
o Cut down on Red meat and eat more lean or better still chicken and fish instead
o Use low fat oils in cooking i.e. sunflower, corn or Mazola
o Cut down on your salt intake, there are hidden salts even in tinned foods
o Try substituting carrots or fresh fruit instead of biscuits and sweetmeat when you have a craving for something in between meals.
o Drink semi or skimmed milk as opposed to full cream
Simply choose a diet which is low in fat and cholesterol, moderate in sugar and salt and high in fibre but at the same time has a variety of everything thus making it a balanced diet.Calculate your BMR!!
BMR means Basal Metabolic Rate.It is used to estimate how many calories you should consume.By using a simple formula called the Harris-Benedict principle, you can assess your BMR.
Your BMR is the amount of energy your body needs to function.Then, to lose weight, you'll need to cut calories or burn extra calories and shoot for a level lower than the results you get with this formula.
We use about 60 percent of the calories we consume each day for basic bodily functions such as breathing.Other factors that influence your BMR are height, weight, age and sex.
Step One : Calculate your BMR with the following formula:
鈥omen: BMR = 655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) - (4.7 x age in years)
鈥en: BMR = 66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) - (6.8 x age in years)
Step two : In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
鈥f you are sedentary : BMR x 1.2
鈥f you are lightly active: BMR x 1.375
鈥f you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 1.55
鈥f you are very active (You exercise daily.): BMR x 1.725
鈥f you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 1.9
Create a Calorie Deficit:
In order to lose weight, you must create a calorie deficit. It is easier and healthier to cut back your calorie intake a little bit at a time.
Every 3,500 calories is equivalent to 1 pound.
If you cut back 500 calories a day, you will lose 1 pound per week.
If you exercise to burn off 500 calories a day you will also lose 1 pound per week.
Ideally, you should do a combination of both, (e.g. cut back 250 calories; burn an extra 250 calories).

Three pounds? That is hardly worth worrying about sweet cheeks! Why not just up your exercise for a couple of weeks, or although it is not at all healthy, have a week where you only eat fruits and vegetables... it'd knock that 3 pounds on the head in no time at all...
why 3 pounds? OK anyway try Atkins diet it's what the docs tell heart patients to do, Stay away from white food as in flour and sugar. meaning no carbs. eat only proteins and fruit and veggies. Drink sparkling water instead of sodas.
you're 5'8" and you weigh 118? why do you desperately need to lose three pounds?well, exercise more and eat healthy food, particularly vegetables and good protein. be sure to take vitamins. try to fit in at least one citrus fruit per day. if you feel flabby it might be because you're starving yourself and you aren't putting on the muscles that you should. this is what will *really* make you fat when you get older.you'll be smaller but weigh more if you're muscular but lean.
5'8 --- 118!?Holy.
3 pounds doesn't sound like something to be "desperate" about! Is it for a job (ie modeling) or something? If it's not a specific thing like that (and even then), you might want to reflect and make sure that you're not developing unhealthy ideas or habits about food and weight. Unhealthy attitudes about food can lead to eating disorders that could ruin your life. If you're not sure about yourself, maybe ask the advice of a family member or close friend. I'm not saying this to offend you, but out of genuine concern for your well being. Hope you understand! I once got really close to developing an eating disorder myself, so I'm super sensitive to the topic and quick to tell people to really, really search themselves on that issue. That said, a healthy way to lose 3 pounds is to increase your water intake. Unless you already drink tons and tons of water! You could also do a juice detox (those 3-day diets where you drink nothing but certain juices to cleanse your body of toxins that build up), but be careful not to do those too often or they become really unhealthy.The #1 goal in diet and fitness should be a healthy body. If you shoot for being healthy, everything else will naturally fall into place.Also, your doctor could probably make a suggestion that would make you drop the 3 pounds easily. Someone who knows everything about your current diet and fitness routine will be able to make the best suggestions. Best of luck to you!
