My doctor says I’m 20 pounds overweight. That’s a lot, so how can I lose the weight? I do play a sport, just saying, and I eat healthy too. But I need a healthy way to lose 20 pound in 3-4 months.
i’m 5′0 127 pounds, my docter says I should weight about 105 pounds.
A friend of mine had a similar problem. When I became her workout buddy, we were both more motivated to actually work out and work hard, so work out with a friend whenever you can.
Do lots of muscle workouts and jog a few days a week. Putting on muscle weighs more, but it makes you burn WAY more calories, so your metabolism is always going, and makes you firmer so the thinness is more becoming.
Make sure you eat breakfast, it kick-starts your metabolism for the day and controls your appetite.
Yogurt, eggs, and fruit are the best things for breakfast. Eggs keep you full longer than most healthy choices, and eggs & yogurt both have lots of protein to keep you energized, strong & building up muscle. Take a multivitamin that has all of your b vitamins and more. Try whole-grain cereals.
Drink the recommended amount of water each day, and a glass of green tea. It keeps your metabolism in line.
Lean proteins, like pork tenderloin and grilled chicken breast are great. Try a high-fiber, high-protein diet. Eat fruit, whole grains, raw veggies, baked chips and handfuls of nuts that are lightly salted or unsalted as snacks.
Soda is your worst enemy, especially diet soda (ironically.)
The most important thing is your metabolism and burning fat,and your metabolism is much higher in the morning, meaning your breakfast should contain more calories than any other meal you have, and workouts should be later in the day to keep it going strong.
Free for 20 minutes? Do a few squats or situps in your room randomly so everything stays tight and healthy.
Choose water and something not very high in fat when you go out to eat. It might be hard to do, but once you’re full, you won’t regret a thing.
Avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol as much as you can. Coffee addict? Apples give the average person more energy than a cup of coffee, make the switch.
Eating more than 3 meals a day and making them small is WAY better on your metabolism than 3 big meals, breakfast should be the only really big one.
Make sure you’re getting at least 7 1/2 hours of sleep, your body does a cleansing of what you’ve eaten then and repairs itself, it’s crucial to maintaining a healthy weight.
Get a cute haircut or haircolor or manicure, something to make yourself feel pretty, a confidence boost will motivate you to improve everything else more than hearing negativity about what you need to fix will. Pinky promise.
Good luck!
