This makes 2 drinks and is healthy for u.Go to my website and download my excel spreadsheet, IM me at polardude1983 for yahoo messenger.

| Burn about 300 calories a day, and drink lots of water, and go low carb-no starch. |

| I never exercise except for in school, so I don't know any exercises except for running, pushups, situps, etc. I don't watch the things I eat except I don't eat stuff with trans fat in them because they're really really bad for you. But I have a really good tip-- eat very slowly. I eat very slowly so sadly I am way way too skinny. I'm trying to gain weight though. |

| Hi,If you are interested to loose weight please follow six steps programm Lose weight in 6 easy steps Step 1. Determine if you are overweightDo this by: Checking your BMI Checking your WHR Now answer the following two questions: Does your BMI exceed 25? Is your WHR greater than 1.0 (if you are male) or 0, 85 if you are female?If your answer is No to both questions, then your weight is within the normal range. Stick to a balanced diet and exercise at least three time weekly. Health 24 offers a variety of exercise programmes. A brisk walk for 20 minutes three times a week is a good start! If your answer is Yes to both questions, proceed to Step 2. For more information, read the article Do this first. Step 2. How much weight should you lose? Firstly, determine your healthy weight. Then calculate the number of kgs by which you are overweight = Your real weight minus your ideal healthy weight. Step 3. Plan your weight loss schedule How fast can you lose weight? How many days/weeks/months will it be before you will be slim? It is very important to plan your weight loss schedule according to realistic goals. It is realistic to lose 0,5 – 1 kg weight per week. If you lose weight faster than this, chances are that you will regain the weight (and more) again within a year. Check our Weight Loss Timetable planner and see how long it will take you to reach your ultimate goal weight. If you have a lot of weight to lose, do not feel despondent if it is realistic to reach your goal weight in four months or nine months or a year’s time. Break your long-term goal down into smaller short-term goals. Plan your first 8 kg weight loss. You will be able to reach this goal within two to four months. Work towards this goal. Once you’ve accomplished your first “target weight”, tackle the next 8 kg. Weight to lose in kg Months needed by Slower Slimmers Months needed by Faster Slimmers 2 1 months 2 weeks 3 1,5 3 weeks 4 2 months 1 month 5 2,5 5 weeks 6 3 months 6 weeks 7 3,5 7 weeks 8 4 months 2 months 9 4,5 9 weeks 10 5 months 10 weeks 11 5,5 11 weeks 12 6 months 3 months 13 6,5 13 weeks 14 7 months 14 weeks 15 7,5 15 weeks 16 8 months 4 months 17 8,5 17 weeks 18 9 months 18 weeks 19 9,5 19 weeks 20 10 months 5 months 21 10,5 21 weeks 22 11 months 22 weeks 23 11,5 months 23 weeks 24 1 year 6 months 25 1 yr, 2 weeks 25 It is an excellent idea for all potential slimmers to first have a medical checkup before they begin with a weight-loss programme. Step 4. Prepare yourself mentally to lose weightThis step requires you to be brutally honest. Ask yourself whose idea it is that you should lose weight. Or are you convinced that this is what you want to do for yourself and your health? Don’t kid yourself that you are going to stick to a diet and pump iron, if the idea of losing weight comes from someone else. You are the one who must be 100% certain that you want to lose weight and that you are prepared to make the necessary changes to achieve your goal. Read more about the obese personality. Step 5: Complete your final checklist: If you answer ‘Yes’ to the following questions, then you know you are ready to start losing weight: Are you really overweight? Have you set yourself a realistic and achievable weight-loss target? Are you in good health? Has your doctor given you the green light to diet and exercise? Are you relaxed and calm and feeling positive about your slimming programme? Have you sorted out any psychological problems that could prevent you from losing weight? Are YOU the one who wants to lose weight? Is your support system in place and is your partner, spouse, family 100% behind you in this venture? How did you score? 1-3: You need to go back to the drawing board, start again and sort out those problem areas. 1-6: You still need to do some work on certain areas - solve a few problems before you start. 7-8: You are ready and as prepared as you will ever be - get going with that diet and exercise right now! Step 6: Choose your dietYou want to lose weight, you are ready to go. But which diet? What should you eat and where do you start? What about the Atkins Diet and fad diets? Why a boring balanced diet? Or a shake? Do calories really count? And how do you know the calorie count of specific foodstuffs? Or which foodstuffs can be substituted with others with the same calorie count? And what about low fat and fat free and low carbs? What’s the role of fibre and how much of it should you eat? What about diet pills and slimming drugs? Confused? Don’t feel alone! Here are the basics in a nutshell:Basic 1: If calories in (per mouth) = calories out (by organs to keep you alive and muscles while exercising); your weight will be stable. If calories in > calories out; you will gain weight and will be overweight. If calories in < calories out; you will lose weight. Read all about calories in our Calorie Corner. Basic 2: A calorie from a carbohydrate = a calorie from a fat. But: 1 g fat has almost twice as many calories as 1 g bread/starch/pasta or another carbohydrate or 1 g protein (fish/chicken/meat). And: Too much fat in your diet will increase your risk for heart disease. Basic 3: Calculate how many calories you need to lose 0,5 – 1 kg per week. Calculate your BMR. Decrease you daily calorie intake by 500 cal to lose 0,5 – 1 kg per week. Exercise burn calories. See how many calories you burn while running, walking, rowing and more.Basic 4: How much of what to eat? Eat a variety of food according to a Balanced Eating plan. Stick to the Food Pyramid. You need more or less: 6 servings of bread/pasta/cereal/rice daily; 3 – 5 vegetables; 2 – 4 fruits; 2 cups of fat free milk/yoghurt or cheese; 2 palm-sized portions of meat/chicken without the fat strips or skin, or fish, eggs or nuts; not more than 4 teaspoons of margarine, fats or oils per day. Basic 5: Choose the right diet for yourselfMake sure that the diet you plan to follow does not contain more calories than you need to consume. Steer clear of fad diets promising quick results. Here’s an example of a ready-made diet plan for you. Follow our portion plan diet. Compile your own diet plan according to the principles in Basic 4. Basic 6: Log your progressMeasure your weight as well as your hip and waist measurements, and your resting pulse rate weekly. Calculate your BMI and WHR monthly. Log it in a logbook. You will soon get a taste (oops, feel) of achievement. Feel Free to Contact |
