Tips On Diet & Fitness?

What a great diet tips question:

Question: Okay, I know all the facts on diets and fitness. I know dieting is bad and one hour of exercise is good, but I am a little confused. I think I can cut down calorie intakes to about 1600 per day, with some sacrifices on some unhealthy snacking but it’s harder for me to get an hour of exercise per day. I take the stairs, I walk instead of taking the bus, but it’s hard to get in that cardio. I run and jumprope and play catch during the weekends, but weekdays are so busy. I live on the second floor so I can’t really do any cardio in the house, since it makes too much noise, and I can’t get a treadmill because it won’t fit and I had one, but we had to throw it out since I moved. I can’t afford a gym membership, either. Any tips on how to squeeze in exercise, and how can I squeeze in an hour of jogging or just moderate walking to my busy schedule? Thanks.
Answer: ok look. everyone who says they do little stuff like walking up stairs and walking just wants to say they workout. yes i do drive. yes, i will take the elevator. but i run during weekdays. i do 3miles in around 16-17 minutes or longer milage or other cardio. i also swim a lot. walking is a big load of s***. you either run till you puke, or you wont get amazing results. catch isnt anything. so what if you dont have a treadmill. god made ground for a reason. he wanted man to run on it. so run on the gorund.

I Need to Lose Weight! Any Tips That Don't Involve Diet Pills?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , , , , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of diet tips. Let’s take a look:

Question: I’m in 7th grade and I’m about 5′8. I am a very competitive swimmer and I have a lot of muscle mass, but not enough that it makes me look like a friggin female wrestler. I weigh about 151 lb and I’m not fat, but i could stand to lose a few pounds. I also have kind of chubby thighs, which is bad considering i’m in a swimsuit every day. Any tips on how to shed a few pounds? My mom is very against diet pills, and i kind of think that thier bad for you.
Answer: You are correct, diet pills are not good for your mind and body. In order to lose weight you must keep one simple formula in your head at all times when you drink or eat anything.

Calories Consumed must be less than or equal to Calories Burned

Now I am not a huge health nut, but I learned a couple of simple tricks to lower the amount of daily calories consumed. One, remove all sodas from your diet. This also includes diet sodas as well, because aspartame (sweet-and-low) can cause your body to retain water. Substitute sodas for low or no calorie fruit juices, or of course water being the best.

Second, do not eat a full breakfast. When you wake up, eat a nice Washington apple. It will give you just enough energy to make till lunch, which can be whatever you want.

Third, use a small plate, and only one plate for dinner. Also, make sure you eat dinner at about 6pm so that your food is nearly digested before you sleep.

Finally, the best advise is cut out fast food and junk food as much as possible.

Good Diet Tips for a Teen!?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , , , , , , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:

Question: ok. im 18. five feet tall. and a pretty athletic body. ive always stayed around 100 pounds but lately ive gained some wieght and i really need to get in shape before cheerleading and everything else!! please give me some tips as far as good foods to eat. good exersize tips. whatev else i could use! also. i don’t wanna lose any wight in my boobs or butt. i like those! lol
Answer: Learning how to gain weight for a teen means discipline in all areas, weight training, dieting, attaining enough rest, and supplementation. In the teenage years, if you take in yourself having a hard time appreciating weight, there are a few special things you experience to pay consideration to that older and more physically mature people don’t have to.

For starters, teenagers regularly own a much faster metabolism than when properties get into the twenties and beyond. Far too several teens today abuse such a quickly metabolism by overeating on empty calorie snacks, candies, and desserts. If you are attempting to gain weight and/or compose muscle mass, don’t abuse your fast metabolism by stuffing yourself with a cluster of useless junk. I assume you are trying to inflate healthy weight, so it is important to get in habit of eating right. Shoot for at the very least 20 times your body weight in calories, and around your body weight in grams of protein. Spread your meals throughout the day into 4 to 6 meals, through no longer then a 3 hour bit era in the day without eating.

Since teens are going through all sorts physical and hormonal changes, it is extremely important that they start on off with a solid foundation in weight training. Emphasis should be put on compound exercises, safe and progressive strength training, and proper form. It is vital that teenage beginners get in the habit of performing correct build and the present they start off with relatively dim weight for the first two weeks. One trick to averting a plateau consequently on in a weight training routine to increase in value weight is to start off providing extremely light weight, and to increase the weight ever so slowly every workout until you reach your maximum current likely around the third week. This am able to start on a building momentum, so by the tad you’re using weight that challenges you to your limit on the amount of sets you’re performing, your person am able to be ready to continue to grow and get stronger.

It is also significant when learning how to gain weight for a teen that properties use abbreviated programs, stick to basic exercises, and to avoid over-training at all costs. One of the biggest causes of failures for beginning weight trainers is that they misguide their end and get too overzealous and train too much, too often. Keep it short, simple, and with a focus on strength. One of the best ways for a teen to gain weight is to focus strictly on getting as strong as properties can in the multiple basic compound exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, bent-over barbell rows, and shoulder presses.

As far as supplementation goes, just remember this: supplements are meant to supplement your diet, not replace it in any way. You can build the best body in the world without any supplements, so remember not to get caught up in the hype of the supplement advertising industry. Gaining weight will continually require the right workout program, perfect dieting, a plethora of rest, and hard work. Supplements will be able to never replace any of these; at most properties will help speed your progress.

Need Help to Stop Eating! and Diet Tips Please…?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:

Question: Hey , im a 5′ 2.5" girl (14 years old) and im 121 pounds. i want to lose about 5-10 pounds but everytime i try to not eat as much i end up over eating! how can i stop my hunger? also does muscle weigh more than fat? or is that a myth because im very muscular but i want to look skinnier for the summer=( please help!
Answer: Hey you should split up your meals into 5 different meals and eat VERY LIGHT (200-300 cals) for each meal. If you don’t stuff yourself, your stomach will get used to eating smaller meals and it will shrink so that you won’t have to eat soo much to be full. If you eat 5 meals a day, it will also keep your metabolism rolling. I know you’re probably busy but just try to eat the smaller meals if you have time. To get out of the habit of overeating, try running to get your mind off things. It helps clear your body out too. Just a short run each day will boost your metabolism and help burn some cals. Do eat before your run to store some carbs and a little bit of protein (whole wheat bread with peanut butter) and then after eat something also. The more you try to space out your meals, the more calories your body will ask you for therefore resulting in a binge. Make sure you eat breakfast and muscle does weigh more than fat. Although it does, I wouldn’t worry about it as you will lose more fat mass than you will gain muscle mass so your size will go down. Plus, you won’t build any big muscles unless you take whey protein so don’t worry about it. Good luck and don’t worry too much about dieting but overeating is something you should nip in the but at a young age as it can follow you as you get older (I would know)

Dieting & Exercise Tips for a Thinner Summer….!!?

Another diet tips question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: Hello. Thanks for helping. I’m 15 years old and around 5" to 5"2 in height…& yes, im rather small height wise =| …anyway, back to the question. I’m 15 as you already know and 42kg which is obviously rather fat. I hope to get thinner before summer 2010 (this summer seems to be showing the signs of a hot summer!!) and basically I need to look the part. I’ve been jogging for around 1-2 hours each day around my local area and I do several squats & lunges daily & often visit the gym too. But, I was just wondering whether anyone else had any other exercises which helped them become thinner before summer?!!

Thank You for contributor’s!!

Answer: You are at a normal healthy weight at the moment, but if you want to lose a little bit of weight and tone up, then try other forms of cardio such as swimming, dancing, aerobics, playing sport, and strength training such as push ups, pull ups, dips, crunches and other core exercises. This site gives several exercise programs which you could follow which could help you too: http://dailyburn.com/workout_programs
