How to Break a Weight Loss Plateau

Recommended Answer:

To gain weight you need to combine protein foods with starchy carbohydrates as indicated below. Good weight gaining combinations are bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes or sweet potatoes combined with meat, poultry, eggs, cheese, nuts or sea food. Peanut butter sandwiches and cheese sandwiches are good weight gaining combinations. The protein in the above combinations will help to gain extra muscles.

Other Answers:

• People think they eat "aloooot" but, just put everything into calories. If you want to gain weight, try eating at least 2500 calories a day. 1 calorie = 4.2 kJ.
• Start eating alot of junk, until you're at the weight of being able to be a body-builder. Trust me. It seems like the only way for people with a fast metabolism to gain weight.

How can I lose weight and build muscle fast?

I am 5'1 and 125 I have a small frame. I want to be 100-110 by my 18th birthday on Nov. 8th. I thought about the "anorexic diet" but I am too much of a food lover to starve. Also, I only have an hour or so a day to dedicate to working out in addition to the 5 miles or so I walk a day. I eat about 2,000 calories a day and stick pretty close to my current weight maybe fluctuate a pound or so in either direction. I eat pretty healthy lots of fruit, veg, lean meats, etc just A LOT! lol. and my downfall is carbs! I love em! any alternatives?Any tips? exercises? I thought of doing the insanity workout, has anyone tried it? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

How to Lose Weight With the Master Cleanse

Recommended Answer:

If you starve yourself Your body will start feeding off your muscle, then fat, trying to protect your vital organs (not healthy imho). I would cut down to 1,200 calories a day with plenty of fruit's and vegetable split in 5 meal's as this helps with the hunger, next i would recommend Monitoring your exercise intensity with a heart rate monitor to make sure you're working within your target heart rate zone, the most effective zone for improving your fitness and burning calories. As for the insanity workout, it is effective if you stick to it and work in your target heart rate zone.

Other Answers:

• Cardio and weight training. and last but not least a healthy diet.

Other Answers:

• Most of the time it does happen. Depends on how long it's went on for.:)
• How long has it been? How much did you lose? Did you also Chang your excersize when you started eating again?All these things could be factors of why you didn't gain
• If you want to lose weight, Here's a good low-carb food/exercise plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Fruit smoothies. Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese, spinach...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream (it's lard + chemicals), soda (loaded with toxins), chips, tobacco, alcohol (kills brain cells) and coffee (carcinogenic). No oil except olive and mac nut. To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice.Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex.

How to Lose Weight Drastically

Recommended Answer:

Go for a run every other day and the days you don't run do sprints. Then do push-ups, planks, crunches, and leg lifts the days you run. Do three sets of each

Other Answers:

• Diet, running and crunch/belly fat destroyer workouts
• eat a salad for dinner for a month...no chicken or anything,just salad.tomatpes whatever. and thats all dont snacl or anything,try to eat at around 7-8 and dont eat anfer that...JUST A SALAD,i lost 15
• Go on on demand and there are tons of free work out videos. I loveeee the kick boxing video I lost 10 pounds in a week!! Have salad, water, and you can get diet bars. In the morning, have egg whites with a pinch of salt at the most, for a flat tummy (:
• For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise. Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help as in items 22 and 106 in http://www.rheumatic.org/sugar.htm The natural sugars in fruits are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content. Fruits are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruits are metabolism boosting foods and most vegetables as well and that helps for weight loss.

How much do I eat to achieve this goal?

I asked this before but didn't get any serious answers so here I go again... Ive been trying to lose weight and so far I've lost 50lbs. I'm trying to lose 20lb more within 8-9 weeks. At the latest 10. So roughly two months or so. Ive switched up my routine but am unsure of how much to eat with all the activity I do during my workout. My BMR is 1600. Im short. I burn between 1100-1700 calories each time I go to the gym. From 6-9 am, 4 or 5 days a week. Sometimes 3. I do 90 minutes of cardio divided into two sessions, and an hour or so of weight lifting. I really need to drop 20lbs before late september, preferably before mid september. How many calories should I consume daily? Im somewhat and hour glass shape and I have a good bit of muscle under all this fat... Im fairly built. Not sure if that matters or makes a difference. Help please? Serious answers only.... Thanks!
