Fat Burning Foods

My situation: my family, who is filled with athletic people, say that I don’t have a bad diet. I only eat when I’m hungry. My favorite food groups are breads and meats. Because I’m not fond of fruits, berries, and vegetables, I take Juice Plus (a completely organic vitamin that gives you all the servings of fruits, berries, and vegetables that you need in a day). I don’t eat a lot of junk food, only once in a while. I don’t like many condiments on my food, so butter on toast, dressing on salad, etc isn’t a problem (because I know that they are usually bad for your diet).

I work hard in academics, and I know that when school starts I’m not going to have time to spend a lot of time exercising.

Now, I’m perfectly happy with the fat content on my butt, legs, arms, etc. But, when it comes to my belly, it’s quite a problem. It’s like just a big blob of fat, as if I had a pot-belly or I was pregnant, but mini version. It’s very embarrassing so I suck in my stomach all day. I’ve done that for so long that it’s almost second nature, but yet my stomach is still unattractive. I’m very self-conscious about wearing a bikini, and I don’t want to have to worry about sucking in my stomach anymore.

All in all, I need a stomach fat burning work out that I will be able to do despite my busy schedule when school starts and, if possible, will work fast. If you tell me everything I need to do, I promise I will do it every day possible.

P. S. I don’t have any work out equipment, and because I live in hell-hot Vegas, I would like to be able to do this inside.

Not a problem.

But you do still have to watch what you eat - bread has lots of calories which translates into fat. And you do need some more fiber which you are not going to get in Juice Plus.

The best way (and only way) to lose fat is by aerobic exercises such as running, jumping rope, using an exercycle or elliptical. You cannot lose fat in one area by working only that part of the body — this is call targeted exercises or spot reduction and it does NOT work. Being that you live in L.V., see if you can find a shaded area and do rope jumping for about 5 minutes straight. If no shaded area, then try fast walking at an indoor mall — you will need to walk about 1.5 to 2 miles.

The resistance training such as using weights are for toning and shaping the muscles. They do very little for fat removal. Here are a couple of websites with exercises that you can do without gym equipment - it uses only your body weight -

One last thing, it is good that you take academics so seriously. But to be at your best, you have to be at your best mentally AND physically. You are not just a brain and you are not just a body. You are both and you cannot ignore one and expect to be at your best. Make time even when school starts. I think you will find that your mind will be able to do more when your body is fit.

I’m 16, and am 15-20 pounds overweight. I want to lose most of it before summer’s over.
What are some good exercises that I can do to get in shape quickly? Also, what are some good foods to eat? I’ve been staying away from soda and candy for a few weeks now and drink nothing but milk and water usually.
A whole lifestyle plan would help too. Give stories of experience if possible.

Cardio: as in running, skipping, swimming, sports that elevate your heart rate is the best for overall fat loss. It is best combined with good nutrition. You should be drinking a lot of water, eating fruits and veggies, chicken breast, turkey, pretty much lean meats as they are low in carbs and high in protein

I found a great info site on abs and belly fat loss that really helped, with great workouts and diet tips. I now realize what I was doing wrong before, and in fact, what I think almost all of us have probably been doing wrong…check it out…

Hi thereee. (:
So I would really like to lose 15 pounds by the end of this month, because right now I am slightly overweight and I just never feel happy with myself when I look at my reflection. I’m 14 years old, 5′1, and weigh 123-125 pounds (it fluctuates…but that’s been my general weight for the past few months) and I would really love to get down to 110 pounds by the end of July. My problem is that I look a lot heavier than I actually am because most of my fat/body weight is in the upper half of my body (stomach/waist/chest/back area) and I have relatively skinny/toned legs and okay arms. It’s always SO hard for me to lose fat in these areas, so any tips would be helpful (and I KNOW you burn fat all over the body, not in certain areas, but any general tips would still help.)

This is what my plan is to lose 15 pounds in the next month…is this an okay diet/exercise plan? Or will it not work?

I plan to eat lots of raw fruits (apples, pineapple, peaches, oranges, bananas) to fill myself up, cooked veggies, and eggs/chicken or turkey breasts/baked fish, and limited carbs (only 1 slice of whole grain bread/day). I plan to snack on items like yogurt, nuts, salads (no dressing or croutons!), , soups, and lots of lentils/beans. I will completely cut out all bad fats/junk foods/most unhealthy starches and have the foods above make up most of my diet for the next month. I’ll probably try to eat 800-1000 calories a day, maybe a little more on the days I exercise more. Do you think that will be okay (diet wise), or will I be eating too little and slow down my metabolism? I’m just afraid that I will eat too much and end up not losing any weight.

For exercise, I plan on biking 6-8 miles a day (strenuous biking, not leisure. usually my heart rate gets up to 160-200 bpm after each biking trip, so it will be hardcore cardio for me). I will also run 1 mile and walk 1 mile each day, and the days I have time I will go swimming for 45 min and do 10-15 laps. I also do lots of jumping jacks/situps/pushups each day (just when I get bored haha). Do you think this will be enough exercise to lose the 15 lbs, or should I add anything else in too? I’m not old enough to go to my neighborhood gym yet…so lifting weights/running on a treadmill etc isn’t a possibility for me.

Any other tips for losing the weight would be GREATLY appreciated! (like anything to tone body/speed up metabolism). Thanks (:

-eat under 1800 calories a day.
-RUN at least a mile every day.
-workout:: pilates or yoga really helps!

No Fast Food
Only 1/2 pop a day. (Might begin at one, then slowly go to only 1/2)
No sugary desserts(ice cream, cake, candy)
Only a small 1-hand fill of chips a day.
Drink tons and tons of water.

Go to the gym everyday of the week including Saturday. Sunday swimming.
I will do 15 reps per workout station. And 15 mins on elliptical, 15 mins on bike, 15 mins on treadmill.

Does this sound effective?
no, im just saying if i WANT chips, ill only have one hand full.

It sounds good but may I suggest that you cut out the handful of chips everyday. One handful of chips EVERYDAY??!! I wouldn’t even go near anything that comes out of a package. That is 10 lbs every year that you could have lost.

I am 15 years old, average strength, 170 cm tall and weigh around 62kgs. I need some help to build a training plan so i can loose a few kilos, gain some muscle and increase my strength. i don’t have much equipment, only some dumbbells. i would also like to know some foods that i can eat to help build muscle.

hey matt!!i dont think you should bother much about weight and all that at the age of 15, chill n relax. But, if ur really bothered about it then i wouldnt suggest you lift weight…i would say get involved in outdoor activities, play some sport or just go for a jog or swim..tat should keep ur weight under control.

ok guyz I’m 15 and weight 160 i made a bet to lose 30 pounds and get 300 dollars so i need fast fat burning things food or excersice. I do an hour on the tredmil but i dont know. so wat diets and excersice r good?

It has to be more than just your diet… First… Make sure your drinking enough water. At least half your weight in oz… So to start you would want to get at least 80 oz of WATER a day, throughout the day not all at one time. It will help you to not be so hungry as well as aid your body in proper digestion. Get exercise. You want to raise your heartbeat and sweat for at least 20 minutes a day. Twice a day would be optimal but once a day will work to start off. To make sure your working out hard enough you want to be a little out of breath so that its a little difficult to talk when you stop walking on the treadmill. If you can get out a full sentence you’re not working hard enough. This next one is VERY important… DO NOT EAT before bedtime… Give at least 4 hours between your last meal and the time you hit the sack. 5 hours if you can. I know it sounds crazy and your schedule might not allow that, but try it. You will feel so much better in the morning if you sleep on an empty stomach. You’ll have more energy in the morning and it wont be such a task to get up. Eat a big healthy breakfast instead of the late night meal. Either 1 or 2 types of WHOLE grains 2 fruits and maybe some nuts or seeds. Start to cut out the meat and dairy out of your diet. They’re filled with fats and oils… Empty calories have to go. Stay away from white sugar, white rice, white bread, white flour, and any grains that are not whole grains. Say bye to sodas and junk food. Do you really want to do this?? Make the sacrifice. Go for a walk after you eat if you can. It will help your metabolism and aid your digestion. You want your body to digest your food in the minimal amount of time possible. If you can manage it try to eat 2 meals a day. If you do eat a third meal make it very light… A few pieces of fruit and a piece of toast. Or a light vegetable soup.

i have sum love handles i wanna get rid of. im only 15 so i dont wanna spend a lot of money on like diets and stuff but i wanna know what simple foods can help my burn fat…specifically on my tummy area
THANKS!

There are absolutely no foods in existence that ‘burn fat’. There are certain foods that may make your digestive system work harder to digest, but there are no foods that will ’suck calories’ out of your body!

The only way to keep weight under control healthily is to do a small amount of regular exercise. You don’t have to run a marathon - just go for a fast 1 mile walk daily (as you find it easier, maybe jog/run). 30 minutes gentle exercise, 5-6 times a week is all it takes.

Ps. Its also not possible to ‘target fat loss’ - when you burn calories, your body will choose where it wants to remove fat from (usually starting at the furthest points and working inwards - i.e. hands & feet, forearms/calves, upper arms/legs, and THEN torso. The reason for this is that your body requires a certain level of fat to protect, maintain and support your internal organs and will therefore fight you for every last ounce of fat).

Ok, so I’m 16 years old, 5′2" and 130 ish lbs (though about 10 lbs is muscle in my arms and calves). I wanna lose between 10 and 15 lbs….I’m slightly toned, and that’s all I wanna be, I don’t want a muscular body. I have a layer of fat on my stomach that’s covering some abs that I can certainly feel, and I have really fat thighs and a huge bum (39 inches!!!). I wanna get rid of all of this!!! So I know cardio is the most effective way to do this…..so this is what I do for a workout

I actually have two different routines I do, just depending on the day

First off, every weekday, 2 times a day or more I have to watch the house, so instead of sitting around, I get up and do some cardio. I usually do about 4 minutes of butt kicks, and then take a break, and then another few minutes of butt kicks and one minute of oblique twists….so usually between 6 and 10 minutes while I’m watching the house, 2 times a day, at least, it just varies.

My first actual exercise routine is 10 - 15 minutes of stair walking with 2.5 lbs ankle weights on my legs, followed by riding my exercise bike for the same amount of time that I walk on the stairs.

And the other routine is 30 - 60 minutes of DDR. A half hours burns more that 300 calories, so it’s good for toning leg muscle and burning fat and calories.

And my diet consists of cereal, oatmeal, fruits (bananas and apples mostly), green tea, water, beans, reasonable servings of peanut butter, popcorn if I need a light snack (without added butter) sometimes pastas, wheat breads and vegetables. (I don’t eat meat cause I’m a veggie)

So does this sounds effective? Do you think this’ll give me results? And how long will it take for me to see some? Will this burn fat off my huge bum?

dude its easy, squats, get a bar with some weight on it and do squats, that will get rid of the fat on your stomach and for your bum, run go running and hopefully that will get rid of some more fat, and for routine is good, keep doing that.

It all sounds good. depending how mucha nd what you ate before, eat less day by day until your stomach gets use to eating less then it wont feel hungry anymoreand will get use to the new amount of daily food intake. popcron is a great snack for when you just cant take it and need a snack…I buy the 100 cal packs they actaully have alot of popcorn in it and comes in different yummy flavors…fruit and veggies have almost no cals so eat plenty of them…stay hydrated with water. squats and lounges will help the thighs and butt
