Help to get fit, FOR LIFE!!! tips for a better lifestyle

Nychic25 wrote: Okay, I've lost around 20 pounds and believe me, it is NOT easy, here are some tips on how to lose weight and stay healthy. 1. You 1st have to change your diet, instead of eating white bread, you have to eat whole wheat bread, if it doesn't say 100% whole wheat don't buy it. Next you have to eat more fruit and veggies, I eat around 3 fruits and 2-3 veggies everyday. Also, drop the whole milk!! You can't lose weight if your getting around a 100 calories of fat from milk, get 2% or 1%, or the best thing is fat free. Also, don't deprive yourself of sugary treats! If you don't eat them, you WILL crave them! just eat in smaller portions. 2. You've prob. heard this before, smaller portions. Yes, I know it's really hard to decrease your appetite to those smaller portions, but your body just doesn't need all that food. That's why they recommend you chew your food slower and enjoy what you are eating. ( believe me, that took a LONG time for me.) 3. Exercise, exercise,exercise. I am always outside, my mom sometimes yells at me for being outside too long, look if you want that six pack, good butt, or to just shed off a few pounds, you have to challenge yourself, Mentally and physically everyday. if you want your body to change you need it a reason to adopt!! you have to run longer, bike longer, dance harder. Whatever you enjoy. But, don't cut back your calories and do intense workouts, I got so skinny doing that. But, i was frail and sick. It will make your body go into starvation mode and you can't burn as much calories/fat as you want to. Also another tip, switch it up!! if you do the same thing everyday your body will get used to the same intensity and you will never get any thinner than whenever you are now. 4. My last tip, if you see those extreme diet pills that " speed up" your metabolism, THEY don't work! Your metabolism can only speed up by muscle, which is made by combinding cardio ( heart pumping workouts) and weight training, you will burn fat, and have that sexy body just as an extra!! Good luck!! Nychic25 Comment Back | posted 2007-08-10 10:15:36
