How to lose weight healthily?

1. STOP DRINKING SODA. This INCLUDES diet soda. Drink tea, 100% fruit juice (in moderation), milk (skim), and a lot of WATER. Don’t like it? Get use to it. My weight was 220 about 3 months ago, I stopped drinking diet soda, and I am down to 205. Need caffiene, I know I do. Drink coffee, teaspoon of sugar and put it in a glass of ice. It goes done a lot quicker that way. Eventually, the taste grows on you.

2. EATING BREAKFAST IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Ditch the sugar filled fruit-loops and lucky charms. Opt out for Shredded Wheat with skim milk, wholewheat bagels with peanut butter, fruit, OATMEAL., or yogurt (lowfat) This leads to #3.

3. Eat less, more often. Instead of eating 3 large meals a day, eat 5 smaller meals spread out through the day.

4. STOP EATING FAST FOOD. Go to Subway if you are out and hungry. Get a 6 inch sub, you don’t need a footlong sandwich, no one does. If you are out with your buddies and they want something, say Burger King, get an 8 piece with a medium fry with a glass of ice water. This method also saves you money.

5. Start a cardio routine. Start small, jog for 10 minutes 3 days a week. Then add 5 minutes a week. If you’re in better or worse shape, you can always modify that routine. Eventually, start adding days until your running at least 5 days a week. Don’t have time? Make time, wake up an hour earlier.

6. Legs: Box Squats, Lunges, Calf Raises. These can all be done without weights, and I promise you, that if you’re not in shape, your legs will hurt like hell afterwards. Not damaging unless your form sucks.

7. Upper body: Push-ups (there are about 30 different types of pushups that you can do that isolate different muscles), dips, chin ups, pull ups. Do a different assortment of these given your fitness level about 4 days a week.

8. Abs: there are so many ab workouts you can do at home; I will only list a few.
   a. Get yourself an ab ball (they are not just for girls, go do Pilates for an hour and see how good it feels). —I sit on a ball while I’m playing the ps3, overtime, you won’t notice that you are doing it.– b. Sit-ups c. Breathing exercises

Before doing any of the exercises I mentioned, please do me a favor, and look online for videos (youtube or something) of people doing them properly so that you learn proper form and don’t pull anything.

hey, have you seen that show on TLC (I believe) its called “I can make you thin”. He always emphasizes on 4 rules when you eat. Always eat whatever you want but follow these rules.

1. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full
2. Eat slowly..this way your brain can give you a good indication of when you are full and when you are…immediately stop.
3. No distractions. Never eat while watching tv, or talking on the phone or msning or anything. Find a time and place where you just eat. This way you won’t over eat.

I totally forget the 4th rule. But I would totally suggest you watch that show. Me and my sister watched 1 episode together and it was pretty helpful…good luck to you:)
