Fat Loss Tips.

Archive for November, 2009

You’ll be surprised how helpful and informative people in gyms are. Chances are if you just ask someone they will happily go through the basics with you.
What us gym rats DON’T like is people ignoring or arguing about the advice, or trying to get advice without being asked.
So have an open mind, pick who you ask carefully (ie someone who looks fit and strong but not just through good genes) and just ask them for some pointers. I’ll bet you a muffin they’ll help and be happy to do so
Good personal trainers aren’t cheap but that’s certainly an option.
I like to think my own ebook, (search my name) with its pics and helpful text, would be a great start but seriously, just ask. If you want to train at home then yeah, you need a good book or video.
Don’t just dive into it without a clue, as you can easily hurt yourself – or just make it such a miserable experience you’ll give up!
One thing you’ll usually hear is to start very slowly and for weight training to use light weights. I disagree regarding the weights, you should start heavy (for you) from the start if you can. There are dozens of good reasons for this I don’t have space for here.
You’ve already made the first step, deciding to do it. Congratulations on that!

its all about your calorie intake when wanting to cut down any part of body fat. get on a lifestyle change type diet. I could suggest 45min to 1hr of cardio training at a time…if you are not up to that level gradually excellerate. you can buy a wrap that goes around your mid-drift that makes you basically sweat the fat away.

The South Beach diet says “no caffeine” during phase one of their diet. What difference does caffeine make – beyond possibly adding to the stress during what could already be a stressful period? Does it really have any effect on weight loss?

I’ve been trying to lose weight for a few months and think I’ve lost about 15 lbs at most. Some of it seems to be in my stomach/thigh/hip area; however, I am concerned that dieting will cause me to lose my D cup breasts (one of the few features about myself that I like). I know that weight loss cannot target certain areas of the body, but is there any way to prevent/monitor this?

I keep it at 72 during the coldest winter months. 70 during the spring and drop it no lower than 66 during the summer. My members want it turned down to 60, I think that is way too cold. Aren’t you supposed to sweat in the gym?

I know about health and nutrition.and the benefits of exercise.but i was just wondering what your favorite weight loss tips are,that not many people might know . Thanks in advance!!

Ok, here’s the specifics. I’m 26 years old, female, and currently weigh 243. I have been on a sensible weight loss plan that has cut calories and have gone from 270 to 243 in about 4 months. I have a scale at home that tells me my body fat percentage versus the lean muscle and tissue mass. As of right now I have 141lbs of lean muscle and tissue and bone and water. My question is, how much of that lean muscle tissue will I lose when I lose weight? My goal weight is just inside my max BMI of 145lbs. If I have 141lbs of lean tissue, unless I have a 3% body fat which is unlikely to happen for me, I won’t ever be 145lbs. I know that muscle loss occurs during weight loss as it doesn’t take as much muscle to move less weight, my question is what is the ratio? I walk on the treadmill 3x a week for 40 minutes at about 3.2mph, nothing to brag about just something to boost my weight loss. I don’t feel that this will build my leg muscles or maintain the high amount of muscle I have now, and I don’t plan on bodybuilding. Please if anyone knows the ratio of fat loss to muscle loss please let me know!! I don’t want to know about how to lose the weight or how my diet is supposedly ‘bad’ according to some uneducated and misspelled guess-answer. If you don’t know what you’re talking about plz don’t answer. Thanks for any help!
