you are repeating an easy exercise to which your body got used, many times – it never helps.
jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat – if you have any – six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches – I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.

I am desperately trying to lose weight on my stomach, it’s the only place where I have fat.
What are the best foods to eat/not eat while on a strict diet and trying to lose belly fat?
Most people just tell me to do ab workouts and run, which I do, everyday. But I’m just not getting any results. I’ve hit rock bottom and am now taking laxatives every other day.

I am fifteen and I feel like I have quite the appetite, I do eat very healthy but I’m always finding myself wanting something sweet. Please help.

okay, here are the top ten best foods that you can eat to get a flatter stomach. hope this helps! C:

1. Oatmeal: Your morning snack attack is caused by a dip in blood sugar levels. Fiber-rich oatmeal stays in your stomach for hours, staving off a doughnut run.

Watch out: Steer clear of the sugary flavored varieties. Choose the plain stuff, and sweeten it with berries.

2. Almonds and other nuts: Go nuts! They slim your tummy by keeping it full. A Purdue University study showed that people who ate nuts felt full longer than those who ate rice cakes. Stick to 24 almonds a day to satisfy your hunger pangs without overloading on calories.

Watch out: Skip salted nuts; too much sodium raises blood pressure.

3.Protein powders: It’s not just for gym rats! Protein powder contains amino acids that burn fat and build muscle. Add two teaspoons to a smoothie for a fat-busting drink. Find it at health food stores.

Watch out: Make that smoothie with fruit, yogurt, and low-fat milk — adding protein powder to a chocolate shake doesn’t make it health food (we wish).

4. Olive oil: Everyone needs a little fat — it controls hunger. Go for monounsaturated fats like olive or canola oil. They will help keep your cholesterol under control and satisfy cravings.

Watch out: Steer clear of hydrogenated vegetable oils; they’re loaded with unhealthy trans fat.

5. Assorted Berries: Berries stuff a lot of filling fiber into a tiny package: Just one cup of raspberries has six grams.

Watch out: Jelly is the junk food of the fruit world. It has almost no fiber and contains added sugar.

6. Eggs!: Eggs contain vitamin B12, which your body needs to metabolize fat. In fact, researchers at Louisiana State University found that people who ate eggs for breakfast every day lost more weight than those who ate bagels.

Watch out: Talk to your doc first if your cholesterol is high.

7.Beans: Beans are low-cal and packed with protein and fiber, which help you tone up and lose weight. Make a bean-heavy dish, such as burritos, instead of meat once a week. You’ll cut a lot of saturated fat and replace it with fiber.

Watch out: Refried beans are high in saturated fat. Choose plain black, pinto, or other varieties instead.

8.Whole grains: The right kinds of carbs are actually good for you. Choose whole grains — their fiber keeps you from getting hungry.

Watch out: Sometimes bread labeled "wheat" has been stripped of all of its fiber and nutrients. Look for "whole grain" or "100 percent whole wheat."

9. Peanut butter: Who would have guessed that a kid-friendly food could be waist-friendly, too? PB is packed with niacin, which keeps the digestive system on track and prevents belly bloat. Just keep an eye on portion size: Peanut butter does have a lot of fat, so limit yourself to no more than two tablespoons a day.

Watch out: Pick all-natural PB, which doesn’t contain added sugar.

10. Lean meats & fish: Your body burns more calories digesting protein than carbs or fat. Want the leanest meat out there? Opt for turkey, but to cut down even more on saturated fat, choose fish. Go for tuna and salmon; they are full of omega-3s, which help prevent stress chemicals that promote fat abs.

Watch out: Cured meats and sausage have a lot of saturated fat.

********************PLEASE NOTE********************

Doing ab crunches and running will only show you results if you have no fat. These exercises are supposed to build muscles, which can be concealed by fat. So those will only show you results if you have no stomach fat. Also, the best thing to do is avoid gum and junk food, ( both of which cause stomach bloating)!

Hi, I’ve read that a Mediterranean diet is good to lose weight. Anybody tried it? How many pounds did you lose? What was your eating plan like? I have about 10 pounds to get rid of and I wish to lose them the healthy way, so any meal or diet suggestion would be appreciated… thanks for your help…

I’m 5′6 and I weigh 143. I was wondering is the best way to lose belly fat, cardio or is doing sit-ups?

For my Cardio I do 1 hour in the elliptical machine at max resistance (machine says I burn 800 calories). And 30 minutes of swimming.

For sit ups I do 150 sit-ups with 90 pounds of resistance.
I’m using a sit-up machine so it’s probably easier than just putting weights on you.

You cannot spot reduce – won’t happen, can’t do it, not possible….

You want to reduce you have to do it all over!

Sit ups are overrated, they (normally) hit your hips more than anywhere – is that what you want? I have to say though sit ups with 90lbs of resistance? How in the world are you measuring that, I can barely manage a single rep with just over half that amount directly in line with my head!

Intense cardio is going to be your best bet regards weight loss, but I’d try for a little more varied than just the elliptical (you’ll get bored of this eventually) – swimming is good though.

Variety in what you do, and how you do it is the key!

I am 13 and i really want to lose belly fat.
I also want to maintain a good healthy weight.
I want to eat healthy but am not sure of what types of foods would be helpful.
Thanks- In advance

Simple. Just exercise more and eat less (and healthier). Try to only eat when you’re hungry and eat smaller portions (like instead of eating a whole bag of chips, eat a small bowl and savor it). Don’t eat just because you’re bored and don’t eat in front of the computer or TV. Make healthier meals with lots vegetables and full grains. Drink skim milk at dinner but drink water the rest of the day. You can still enjoy a few cookies or a bowl of ice cream, just don’t overdo it.

For exercise, make it a goal to do something physical every day. You could take the dog for a walk, go biking, go for a jog, swim a few laps, do some hard yard work, go for a hike, do some sit ups and pushups, try yoga, or watch a workout video! Don’t make up complicated routines or anything; you’re less likely to keep up. It’s okay if you miss a day or two; just make sure you start back up again the next day.

Also, don’t forget to take a multivitamin and get enough sleep! Good luck, you can do it!

I don’t want to lose weight,I want to lose stomach fat.I don’t know how much but I just want to anyways.I’m 10 years old and want to gain weight not lose it because I’m already under weight.So look at the question and don’t change it around.Also what kinds of foods and minerals should I look into?Best answer gets 10 points.

Quite easy really, you dont have to particularly lose weight to lose the belly fat, you just have to eat foods that have low fat calories & grams of fat, while they are high in protein or fiber. Such foods are tuna, chicken breast, egg whites (these are especially great). Protein is the nutrient you should be after, it will get you LEAN body weight, and not body FAT. All the while doing a good amount of cardio excercises. In addition to cardio, do core workouts, to get a firm stomach, this wont help much in reducing fat as cardio will, but itll help you nonetheless. Vegetables are always good for you as well.

Here is a good example of a food you would want to eat to achieve this particular goal:

Chicken Breast:

120 calories, 10 from fat, 26g protein

Tuna in water:

110 calories, 5 from fat, 13g protein

Those are the kind you want. To cook egg whites or chicken breast I suggest you use PAM spray. Just enough so they dont stick. Though chicken breast doesnt need any oil to cook, it cooks in its own fat and wont stick.

Could someone please tell me what my daily foods should look like so I can start losing weight? Websites are OK but I would prefer it just written out in your answer. Thank you so much. If possible I’d like to lose 10 pounds in about 2 weeks…

Here are some tips that will help you reach your goal!
1.stock up on fruits and vegetables– those have very few calories and DO taste good!
2.Drink water instead of soda or juice.
3.Try to eat whole wheat and potatoes. Those will keep your hunger at bay and not make you crave foods. Oh! But if you DO find yourself craving foods, have a small portion of it, don’t try to avoid it completely, because the craving will only get stronger.
4.make sure to pay attention to portion sizes too. it helps if you portion it out into a bowl that way you don’t find your self eating too much at once. or even portion out your snacks a week in advance so you don’t over eat.
5.you should record what you eat in a journal. calculate the total number of calories you eat per day and determine if there is any junk you can cut out.
6.to lose weight you might want to eat around 1500-2000 calories per day. DO NOT EAT LESS THAN 1000 CALORIES PER DAY!!!!!! Eating less than 1000 calories can actually cause your body to gain weight.
7.Eating healthy low calorie meals with LOTS of exercise will help you lose weight! aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, biking, or gymnastics is a great way to loose weight as well!
8.Get motivated! If ever you find your self not wanting to get up and go exercise, tell your self to get up and do it. Motivate yourself by thinking about how good you will look/feel if you just get up and do it!
9.another motivational tip, once a week, take a day off and reward your self with something special like your favorite restaurant or something sweet like dessert!
10.Don’t be afraid to drink tea, unsweetened tea has 0 calories and is full of antioxidants that will actually help you lose weight. There are also sweeteners such as Truvia that contain 0 calories and are good to add to tea if you like it sweet!

REMEMBER: to lose weight you need to have a good diet AND exercise program having only one will not do you as much good as having both!

this is a very easy plan to follow! as long as you stick to it! and don’t give up!

Good Luck!

BTW i actually did lose about 9-10 pounds on this plan in 2 weeks. (keep in mind, some of that was probably water weight but most of it was fat that had been burned of!)
