Also will it work my glutes? Because I broke my hand and my doctor said I shouldn’t run. I don’t want to get fatter over the next 6 weeks. So will stationary biking work my glutes and make me lose fat?
Yes cos it’s a cardio work out. I’m so happy for you getting on the exercise bike - the hardest work out but you’ll be so pleased you did it!!
If you thought that exercises were the only thing that reduced fat, then here is some food for your thought. Food habits can also help you to get rid of the extra mass of fat that spoils your shape. Such fat burning foods are very …

I want to join the water polo team, and I have to make my mind by Friday. I have aroudn 5 months before the practices and game start. Thing is I’m fat. No one likes to see a fat kid in a speedo. If I say yes on Friday, I have to burn 2 lbs every week hoping to see myself getting thinner and thinner. If I say no, I can do it on my own pace. But If I say yes, it’ll give me a reason to exercise on my own time. And if I say No, I procrastinate ALOT. So, please help me. And Also, If you say yes, can you provide a list of exercises, food, and other tips for me? And the only equipment I have available is a Treadmill, 2 3lbs dumbells, 2 5 lb dumbells, and a Chin up bar. Thank you~

The body needs muscle to burn off fat. When you do cardio you strip away the muscle that muscle to burn away that fat more efficiently. Also, is it possible for a 200 pound man to have a 6 pack and a 150 pound man to not have 6 pack abs?
You are 100% incorrect.
Cardio is the only way to burn excess fat and water from the body. Weight lifting does nothing to burn fat that is in the body. Muscle does require the body to take in (burn) more calories over the period of the day to function. But, it has no bearing on fat already stored in the body.
CARDIO is the only way to burn off excess body fat.
To lose weight, the major thing you must do is burn more calories off than you eat. This can be accomplished through eating healthy and low calories foods as well as exercising frequently. One great way to help you achieve your goal of …

I don’t need an advice on my ‘diet’ cause I’ve done a diet and I lost about 20 pounds, I weight about 130 and I’m 5′2, I think I need to lose 5-10 more pounds but I wanna take ALL my time, I will probably go on a very healthy and steady diet (More like a life change diet) that is going to last for four months (This SHOULD help me lose that weight!) especially that I will be exercising for two hours five times a week and I study the whole time after that!! So, my life is pretty active. I wanna go on a diet that will typically last for ages, hence I want to eat healthy but also eat ANYTHING I like and not deprive myself from my favorite food. I will consume 2000 calories a day but I will burn more than that (According to my doctors that told me 2000 calories isn’t enough for me since I exercise and stuff), so this is how my diet is going to look like: By the way, when it says contains, it doesn’t mean it includes all the food listed, it’s more like a couple or three things out of those, but I just listed all the food that I’m going to eat for the whole time:
Breakfast: 300 calories. Contains: (Skim milk, egg, whole wheat toast, cornflakes, etc).
Snack 1: 200 calories. Contains (Apple, banana, etc).
Snack 3: 150 calories. (Whey protein milk).
Lunch: 900 calories. (Grilled chicken, roasted chicken, steaks, whole wheat bagels, baked potatoes, whole wheat pasta, Alfredo sauce, little bit of veggies with a couple tbps of olive oil).
Snack 4: 200 calories. (Coffee, tea, sweets, etc).
Snack 5: 250 calories. (Low-fat peanut butter, honey, whole wheat toast, etc).
So, what do you think?
Your food plan isn’t horrible but it is far from great. I will offer some advice if I can.
First off, try to combine protein and carbs at every meal, it is a great energy boost. Also, avoid too much sugar and salt, they aren’t good for you.
Breakfast- instead of eggs, eat egg whites, they have all the protein with a lot less fat than whole eggs. If you must have cereal make sure it does not have sugar in it and that it is whole wheat. A better choice would be oatmeal though. Maybe have some fruit as well.
snack- fruit is a good choice but try combining it with a few almonds and some form of carbs.
snack- whey protein milk is a decent form of protein so I guess that’s fine.
Lunch- Holy way too many calories for one meal. Around 400 calories a meal is more like what you should be consuming. Also, alfredo sauce is possibly the worst thing you could be eating. It is made of cream, butter and cheese. It is death on a plate. Grilled chicken is the best option you have listed. Turkey is a great choice too. Eat mostly fish lean meats like those. Steak is okay in moderation but not the healthiest option. Definitely load up on veggies though.
snack- horrible, horrible choices other than tea. Tea is good for you unless you load it up with cream and sugar. Same goes for coffee but tea is the better choice, especially green tea. Stop eating sweets subsitute fruit and a little bit of yogurt or cottage cheese.
Dinner- where is dinner? you need dinner just try not to eat it too late at night.
snack- of you have to snack after dinner make sure not to do it later than 4 hours before bed. Peanut butter is not very good for you unless it is the natural kind. Try almond or hemp seed butter instead.
Overall, your on the right track with eating frequently throughout the day but keep doing research and in no time you will be an expert. A book I found helpful is the Eat Clean Diet. It’s not actually a diet but it is definitely interesting. Hope this helps. Good luck and don’t give up.
ok, hello. my sis is a junior in highschool, and she has to work hecka hard (she has all AP classes and 1 zero period) so she goes to bed around 2:00am, and wakes up at 5:00am to go to school. She doesn’t eat a breakfast, and she never has time to make a lunch, and she can’t buy a lunch every day because it cost around $15(don’t ask me why it’s so expensive). I try to make her a lunch whenever I can but I don’t have a lot of time to do it either.
What could happen to her if she only eats snacks, such as chips, an orange, fruit snacks, and gatorade or water. Can she get a seizure or something?
Also please post opinions about what she should eat according to this information-she does a lot of school work and goes to bed late so she doesn’t get a lot of sleep. She goes to tennis practice after school, and she doesn’t even have any food to burn, so it burns her fat, which she doesn’t have a lot of.
Also post tips for students in freshman hischool year like me. ty
I don’t know if she could have a seizure…. but she can burn herself out from poor nutrition and lack of sleep. This can lead to a weaker immune system. The question is… how can she fit more calories in if necessary, and also, is she getting enough rest?
Tell her to take snacks with her that are energy boosters (i.e trail mix) and tell her to try to get quick meals in (i.e. a sandwich and some yogurt)… it takes no more than 10 minutes to eat this, and five minutes to make.
I fell upon this topic when I was randomly surfing the Internet and here’s the fat burning food list that I collected from several sites. Now, keep in mind that these foods need to be consumed in a sensible portion and we still need to …

So I have finally decided hat it’s time to gain some weight
i’m 5′ 10.5” and i weight 126 lbs. most definitely underweight
This is NOT because i don’t eat enough
but because i burn too many calories through cross country (1.5 hrs of intense work every day)
So i talked to my doctor and he suggested Ensure.
I bought 1 bottle today and found that it’s pretty costly $1.50
I’m cooling it in the fridge right now but i’ve heard it tastes really bad.
anyways i was wondering if there was any other way to bulk.
Nothing too complex that it would take a while to make. or some other drink that’s cheaper. Maybe even a powder.
My diet in itself is really balanced. I get my veges, fruits, meat, grains, fats… and all else.
so basically what i’m doing is adding another snack to my list or maybe overwrite my midnight snack. Since xcountry ends at 6 and i get home at around 9, my little after dinner hunger craves start at around 11 pm
try drinking monster maxx protein shakes. My once skinny friend took it to bulk up and now hes huge (of course he worked out at the gym a lot to and you should do the same). It’s got a great taste to it to, very heavy also; 1000 calories per scoop. You can buy the powder at a local vitamin and supplement store, quite pricey though but the container will last a very long time; drink it with milk.
I tend to gain most wieght in my upper legs/butt and I want to lose some fat in that area. I have a really small upper body already so I don’t want to lose much weight there. So how do I lose body fat from my thighs and butt (and just legs in general) without bulking up in muscle in this area?
Hi there ,Sorry to have to tell you this but You can’t spot train in 1 or two areas .It would be nice and all but it is’nt happening. However all is not lost .There is hope but its all or nothing .If you want a smaller behind and thighs do get a good cardio and strength training routine going . You will burn the fat big time ! give it about 6 weeks to begin seeing results but this does’nt mean you won’t see results sooner and what a motivator that is to keep it going. If you are worried about bulky muscles with strength training don’t worry .in fact to get that kind of bulk you’d have to be lifting lots of weight .For this we’re talking 5 -10lb leg weights . Heres something to make you smile joining strength training with cardio speeds fat loss because muscle burns fat which means smaller bottom and legs even faster than with cardio alone not to mention how toned you will be and the added strength you have which will make your workouts easier .i know you ‘ll be liking that .Good luck you’ll love the results
