how do i lose weight effectively?!


Question: any methods? like don't eat lunch or breakfast?
Answers:
Starving or skipping meals is not recommended as a good way of losing weight.

Adding in exercise to your daily routine will help increase your metabolism. You can do simple things like taking the stairs, parking in the furthest parking space, etc. Or even going for a run or jog.

Decrease your intake of high fats, sodas, high carb (but dont eliminate carbs). Don't stuff yourself when eating..when eating out, the portions you get are usually 2x what you really need. Try eating half of it and taking home the other half.

Also, eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. High fiber cereal will also help.

Don't skip meals!

If anything, it helps to spread your eating out by having snacks between meals. Of course, you must eat less overall, but given that you are eating less, you won't feel as hungry if you eat some of your food between meals.

Cran and RockyQA give you good suggestions. Instead of eating 2-3 meals a day, try to spread it out to 5-6 SMALL meals. You don't have to deny yourself your favorite foods, but everything is portioned smaller than usual. I've read that for the French (some seriously sexy and slim ladies) portioning is two to three bites of every food they eat at a meal!

Snacks shouldn't be a soda and sandwich. Try limiting sodas to a once a week (or better yet only during parties) special reward for eating good healthy food. Same with chocolates, coffee with sugar, pastries, cakes and ice cream.

Vegetables with fiber would also help. Fiber will help you move your bowels, effectively taking out the toxins your body would digest and cause your body to bloat later if it stays too long in your body.
Missing meals will only slow your weight loss, because it will slow your metabolism. Its not a smart diet plan, not the best method to take for weight loss.
Diet and fitness work together toward a healthy lifestyle. Changing your diet and your level of fitness is what can change the way you look and feel. The best way to lose weight is about living a healthier life than what you may be living now. You will need a complete lifestyle change and you will need to be committed.
The body loses about 2 pounds a week optimally and that’s 2 pounds that stay off. When you drop at a faster rate your body could potentially rebound and either plateau your weight loss or put extra weight on. If you are committed then you should reach your goal.

This bit of advice is something I tell anyone who asks whether you are my client or not.

There are 5 most important things that must go together in any workout program. These are part of changing your complete lifestyle to one that is healthier. They also help you to naturally optimize your metabolism. The faster your metabolism the better your body uses your food for energy, instead of storing it as fat.

I put them in the order of importance.

1. Eat more. Yes eat more. More meals that is. It is best to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours. The meal should be just large enough to where you are not hungry, as opposed to eating you are full. There is a difference, think of it as no bigger than the size of your two fists put together. Eating 1 or 2 meals a day slows your metabolism down. You should have at least 4-6 meals a day. For most a ratio of carbs-proteins-fats should be 50%-25%-25% is good, but each person is unique.

2. Drink more water. Most of us don’t have enough water. This means our bodies are dehydrated. Two things a dehydrated body has trouble doing, one is releasing water. In order to lose fat you must be able to release water, because fat cells in your body are composed of mostly water. A dehydrated body cannot build very well. Muscle tone indicates a constant building state in your body. If your body isn’t building that means it is losing muscle and it’s never good to lose muscle that slows your metabolism and makes you look flabby.

3. Maintain a balanced workout regimen of cardio and resistance (weights). Cardio is good for fat burning and it’s easy to do and to progress yourself. Resistance is a little harder because it’s not as easy to know what to do. If weights aren’t your thing then try Yoga or Pilates. Both are very effective resistance and core training and can help you maintain lean muscle and increase your overall metabolism.

4. Smart supplementation of your diet is your best solution to making sure you get the nutrients your food doesn’t give you. A daily multivitamin will suffice in most cases, and if you don’t like pills they sell it in liquid form. Plus cleanses, as well as detox formulas are awesome for eliminating toxins we take into our bodies without knowing.

5. Sleep is a very important part of any healthy lifestyle regimen. When we sleep our bodies and minds refresh themselves and allow us to function at an optimal level. Sleeping allows muscles to rebuild themselves and when they do that, it speeds your metabolism.
You may ask why I gave you this long list instead of just telling you what exercises to do. The reason is if you think that exercising is all you need then you are mislead. If exercising is all we needed to look and feel great then everybody who works out at the gym would have great bodies and be healthy. If you have been to a gym before you know its not true.
