I want to lose weight. Joined gym already. Any home techniques I could benefit from?
I’ve always been conscious about my body. I’m 5′11′ and weigh 71kgs (156lbs/11st 2lbs). I understand about healthy eating etc but I just need some tips on the best foods and the most fillings foods. I find it difficult to resist temptation.
I work in an atmosphere surrounded by ‘bad’ foods as I care for disabled adults who need fatty foods to maintain theire weight.
I’ve joined the gym, I understand about cardio but I just need help… and I’m not sure where to start.
My belly hangs over my jeans, I want to tone it up. I understand no amount of crunches, sit-ups will give me a result without cardio exercise. I’m doing cardio when I go to the gym.
I just need a few home workouts, techniques, recipes etc to help me start off?
Please?
if you want to weight 180 pounds, then eat 1800 calories – good balanced diet and exercise, drink water ( minimum daily requirements is 8 – 8oz glasses)
weight 165 pounds – 1650 calories ;
weight 160 pounds – 1600 calories ;
our bodies need a good balance of a variety of foods, a good 7 grain bread ; nuts ; raisins ; fruits ; cereals – the kinds that are not full of sugars ; green veggies ; yellow veggies ; beans / legumes ; peanut butter – a good one that’s not full of sugar ; as for meats – chicken ; fish – salmon is best – tuna is also good ; beef – which has less than 20% fat content ; you can spice foods up with seasonings and make them taste better, but be very careful of how much salt you eat – always less than 3000 mg daily , if you average it to 1,000 mg per meal that would be best. And don’t forget to drink your water, the water helps the body flush all the bad stuff from our system and keeps the body / organs functioning properly.
no soda pop / cokes ; coffee ; tea – unless its herbal tea ; no beer / alcohol ; no chips / cookies / cakes / pies / candy’s ;
get at least 30 minutes of walking in a day – a good fast walk rather than a slow one, the average speed of a good fast walk is 4 miles an hour – so 2 miles in half an hour , but if you are not used to walking fast it will take your body time to get used to it and get that fast, and don’t over do it, you don’t want to pass out – set a pace, if you need to stop and take a 5 minute rest.
walking is the absolute best exercise for our bodies!
