Trying to lose weight.?
I just bought a gazelle. So I’m trying to lose weight. But my question is how much would I need to work out to lose about a 50lbs before April. So that’s 10 lbs a month. Do you think that’s achievable or I should say realistic or what? I mean, I’ve started a food journal and started to do a mile everyday on the gazelle. Or roughly 125 calories. But today I’ve started doing 200 calories. So I want to know if I’d actually be able to meet that goal. With at LEAST a mile everyday and watching what I eat and drink. Like diet pop, water, apple juice I’ve allowed myself unlimited. Regular pop is just one a day. And then for what I eat I just eat smaller portions. If I can bake something, I’ll bake it instead of frying it.
I do eat small meals. I’ve cut out most junk food. If I cut it all out then I will end up binging so it won’t be worth it. And I’m Irish, so me staying away from starchy foods is gonna be hard! lol. But I am willing to try. Thanks for the tips everyone!
1. Eat about 6 small complete meals throughout the day (Grains, protein, fruits, vegetables) spaced out about every 2-3 hours. DO NOT BINGE EAT!
2. Be as active as you can. Nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knockout 10 elevated push ups.
3. Eat some spicy foods, take a lot of vitamin C, and drink between a half gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day.
4. No more soda. Ever.
5. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.
6. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.
7. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, power cleans)
8. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more then 9.
9. Avoid anything deepfried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.
