loosing weight fast?

Loosing weight ‘fast’, is not the answer. If you took time to gain weight, you can take the time to lose it too. First of all, you need to reduce 500 calories from what you normally eat. This will result in ONE pound of fat a week. Do not eat less than 1200 calories if you’re a female, or 1800 calories if you’re a male. Eating too little calories will cause your body to shut down and store food (energy) as fat. Unless you want to gain weight from eating an apple, I wouldn’t say starvation is the answer. Good foods to eat for a healthy lifestyle are grains, protein, vegetables, fruits, and Healthy fats. Protein is good for you because it sticks to your ribs and prevents you from becoming hungry quickly, whereas carbohydrates will burn off in 2-3 hours. :)

Exercising- If you choose not to restrict your diet by 500 calories, you can burn off the extra calories by participating in physical activity. 30-60 minutes is the recommended amount of exercise a day. The best exercises for burning lots of calories are Rollerblading, biking, running and/or jogging, Jumping Rope, and Martial arts. Any exercise is okay as long as you are breaking a sweat and are slightly out of breath. (remember that any type of exercise is good for you) Pick activities that you enjoy, and not necessarily the ones that burn the most calories an hour.

2-3 pounds a week is a good amount, so try not to lose more than that every seven days.
