etc. I also need to know if drinking lots of water would be a good or bad thing. I have heard that drinking a lot of water can be a bad thing when trying to loose weiht over a short amount of time.
Answer:
HITT training is the best for quick fat loss. Along with weight training and a good diet. High Intensity Interval training is great for burning fat and building muscle. Yes! Drink lots of water, watch your carbs and fats. I recommend high fiber, lean proteins, fruits, veggies, and high fiber carbs. Such as:
Breakfast- A bowl of high fiber cereal, skim milk (ever try Super Skim? Greatest thing ever) with some fruit (blackberries, raspberries, blueberries etc)
Lunch- Turkey, tuna, or other protein on multi grain bread, with salad (veggies or your choice) with light salad dressing
Dinner- Skinless Chicken, grilled. With brocolli or other veggie, you can add some juice here
Snack- You can have one before lunch and one after dinner, usually works well. This is up to you. Yogurt is great, fruit, trail mix (I eat this is bar form, more convienient) really anything small here
Keep up with the water. I like Propel to be honest. Full of vitamins and minerals. Good flavor too. I suggest taking a multi-vitamin as well. Good luck! You seem to be on your way!
eat fruits...vegetable and do alot of cardio (running, skipping...etc) ...and yes drink alot of water...
15 pounds in 5 weeks is very doable. cardio is king! eat clean...forget about junk food and fast food at least 6 days of the week. and on the one day don't go crazy, but do give in to your desire and taste. Control your portions daily, don't eat to eat, eat to fill and thats it. Water is probably the best thing you can do! Cut out soft drinks or any other drinks with sugar for that matter! Also, by drinking water more, and filling yourself with water, you will notice that you feel less hungry. A lot of times thirst can be mistaken for hunger, and therefore we eat!
Drinking water cleans out your body. When people mean a short amount of time, it's because the first weight you lose is water weight. You can lose four pounds in a day by eating or drinking nothing - but all that you're losing is WATER. H20. Not fat.Why do you want to lose 15 pounds in 5 weeks? What is your motivation? That's 3 pounds a week, which is a little strenous, but you can do it.Keep in mind that your goal should not be to lose weight, but to lose fat. As you exercise, muscles build up and muscles really do weigh more than fat.Start eating fruits and vegetables, and less meat. For proteins, try to stick to fish or nuts (not salted/honey roasted or anything.) Don't buy those "Lean meal" crap dinners. They leave you hungry and you opt for a snack. Instead of eating three meals a day, eat five smaller ones. You've probably heard this before, but eating smaller, more often meals is better for digestion, and thus burning calories. Morning - Apple (or orange or banana. . or so on), a piece of toast or a bowl of cereal* and juice or water.
Snack - A handful of small pretzels.
Lunch - Salad with lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers, with low calorie dressing or no dressing at all. Also, a sandwich is fine if it's nice and thick, but not to heavy. Optional, a piece of roasted chicken.
Snack - Piece of fruit/veggie, or a trail mix.
Dinner - Salad with apple sauce or something else on the side, or a piece of chicken and a small potato.Have fun. Mix and match. Swimming *LAPS* is fantastic exercise. It's better than running. If you can get to a community pool or a school pool, swimming 2,000 yards at a moderate and fast pace can do wonders for your body (50 yards in a typical 6 lane pool = one end to other end and then back.)Secondly, hiking/walking on a trail is better than walking on a track. Try to find a trail if you can. Trust me. They're everywhere. This is coming from a girl who took summer school at a school in the downtown. . there was a small hike through the woods.But drink water.
The first week you should start off by eating less than you usually do.
Try having a small healthy breakfast:
orange juice (preferably fresh), cornflakes (fitness) with skimmed milk OR toast (brown bread) with low-fat cheese and a tomato OR an egg without salt or anything.
Lunch:
Eat meat, it's very important, such as chicken or fish. But eat small amounts of it and a bowl of salad. Try not to eat rice, bread or things like that during lunch.
Afternoon (around 4,5):
You can eat a fruit, not any fruit because banana's for example are caloric. Eat a green apple or drink a small glass of skimmed milk or ice-tea.
Evening (try eating earliest 6 - not later than 9):
for dinner you should eat something small, like a salad, there are MANY different types of salads add carrots, celery, broccoli any vegetable that you like. Or if you haven't eaten bread in the morning you could have a sandwich (brown bread) with low-fat cheese. I'm not saying ham or anything like that, so that you wouldn't eat a lot of meat.Anyway, this is how you should eat. Smaller portions and low-fat things, if you're hungry get a fruit or cornflakes. Try to avoid chocolate. But remember chocolate which is 70 or 80% cocoa is very healthy. So everyday if you're craving for chocolate you could eat 2 pieces of it.For exercising, you should exercise 30 to 60minutes a day. If you find it hard or tiring divide your time. Say, spend 15 minutes in the morning jogging. 15 minutes in the afternoon dancing and 20 to 30 minutes in the evening basically exercising. Best way is to listen to music and don't think of it as something you HAVE to do.Also, drinking water is very healthy. You should drink about 3 to 4 glasses of water a day. It's good for your skin and if you've eaten a lot and stuffed yourself it's good for you. So just eat less, but healthier and you'll lose the weight.
