Answer:
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
Keep running. Try running for 30 minutes or so every day. Also, drink lots of water, eat a balanced diet, and control your portions.
You can still eat what you want to like chocolate and hamburgers, but just eat less of it. don't stuff your self. also, working ot might help a lot aswell.
walking, riding a bike, lots of water, green tea, anything that keeps you active. Also limit your intake of saturated fats!
I find that outdoors activities work really well compared to working out at a gym. The challenges keep changing and you keep adjusting so you're constantly challenged differently. I took up indoor rock climbing. It's great for your arms, upper body, and back. Go hiking, try kayaking. You have to do both cardio and weights to really slim down fast. Muscles is what burns calories when you're not doing anything. Cardio is when you use your major muscles to burn a lot fo calories at once while you're exercising. Work it up slowly so you're not in so much pain that you'll end up abandoning you're routine. Try 30 min cardio and 30 min weights. Learn to use the cable machines at the gym. This way you'll use muscles you're not used to using, therefore creating a new physical challenge to your body. Last, but definitely not least, eat healthy. Eat small portions and eat often ( 6 meals per day). Try to have food that is fresh, something that you prepare yourself. Stay away from diet foods. Have some meat, whole grains, veggies and fruits. Listen to your body when it's full. Don't keep changing flavors in a meal, it'll confuse your sense of fullness. Try to keep it to 3 types of food. Ex. breakfast, 2 eggs, 2 slices of whole wheat toast with preserve, and a glass of milk. I like 2%...tastes like whole milk!Good luck, remember the goal is to be fit and healthy, not emaciated with just skin and bones. Think Jessica Biel or Jessica Alba, or Jessica Simpson! The Jesses have gotten it down!
