Hi

1. Drink lots of water instead of fizzy drinks and fruit cordials.
2. Drink milk instead of semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.
3. Eat lesser amounts of food than usual.
4. Avoid the intake of tea or coffee with sugar.
5. Take smaller portions of the food that you enjoy.
6. Avoid a second helping at dinner.
7. Unhealthy treats like confectionaries; sugar biscuits and crisps between meals should be cut down.

Hello
The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of exercise. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise.

For example, someone who hasn't exercised for years shouldn't rush into running miles a day or pounding the treadmill. Not only will the struggle to do so leave you feeling disheartened and demotivated, you're also far more likely to injure yourself and set your fitness levels back further.

The same goes for people who suddenly start starving themselves. Diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food 'allowed' can lead you to be deficient in the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.

So, if you need to lose weight, what should you do?
Energy needs and weight loss


Your body uses food for energy. It stores any excess energy as fat. This means if you eat more food than your body needs for daily activities and cell maintenance, you will gain weight.

yeah...absolutely right dude...everything we can do, check that fist of all that it's suit on us or not..? the same way doing all that thing for loosing weight as per your body stamina as well as your body capability...don't jump directly to do much harder that you never had tried at once....first go to the lower once in all, if it's the matter of exercise or diet control or whatever you do....and gradually when you came to the improvement and than increase it..slowly...!
and see the results...!

That is some really good tips and well worth trying and will work wonders for some but for those who keep failing or starting and stopping or they just can't seem to drop the weight it maybe worth trying some therapy.

Its surprising why some people can't lose weight, this can be due to self sabotaging behaviors or depression and a range of other reasons, food can become an addiction based relationship and an emotional trap, you eat to feel good and after you have eaten you feel guilty so you eat to feel good again, and so it goes on

If you try and push people to lose weight to fast it can make it even worse, so always encourage and don't push or it can lead to more serious psychological problems.

The basic principal of losing weight is :

Calorie intake     should be less than         calories burnt.

Calculate your calorie intake by using the (1) calorie intake calculator (available on line) and (2) the chart of calories in various foods.

Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate) using the BMR calculator. BMR is the calories required to maintain your basic essential activities like breathing, metabolism, etc.

Calculate your calories burnt during your exercises, using the calorie calculator. Keep a chart of the various exercises and the calories they burn after an hour of exercises.

Therefore calories burnt + BMR  should be more than the calorie intake.

See to it, that at least 250 to 300 calories are burnt more everyday, than the calorie intake.

It takes 3500 calories to reduce one lb of fat. So, make a gradual loss reduction program of 1/2 kilo reduction in weight per
 week.
Three things are very important to succeed in a weight reduction program:
1) Staying motivated.
2) Eating a nutritious. but low calorie diet.
3) Exercising well daily without a weekly off.

Losing weight is a big subject and books have been written on it. Here, I have explained in brief, what basic principal you should always keep in mind when following the weight reduction program.

You suggestions were good but not enough to help anyone with weight loss. You didn’t mention exercise. Without help of exercise you cannot maintain your health. Ye keep control over diet can help you but exercise in must.

[mediconweb]

If you read my post carefully, you will realize that I have mentioned the need for exercise without a weekly off. Secondly, this topic is very vast. My blog contains three separate posts on losing weight. Here, I have, in short, tried to mention the main principal of weight loss.

[mediconweb]

Right. That about sums it up.

When it comes to losing weight, crash diets should never be an option. It won't work.
As for me, I drink lots of water. I also do sports, which is badminton.
You should never allow yourself to be hungry, that's why eating smaller portion of foods will be better.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables too.

Hey can u give more information about BMI and BMR. And wats the BMR calculator howz that works?

[mediconweb]

The BMR is the Basal Metabolic Rate. To put it simply, it means the basic energy in calories (calorie is the unit of energy) required by the body even if you stayed in bed the whole day, to perform the essential activities to stay alive, like breathing, metabolism, functioning of the heart, Kidneys,etc.
The BMR calculator has been devised to make it easier for an individual to calculate his/her BMR. When you  feed in the personal details, such as Height in feet and inches, weight in lbs,
and age in the calculator, it displays your  BMR.

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a method to calculate the weight of your body in relation to your height. In short, it tells you what your weight should be at your particular height.

Method to calculate BMI:
Weight in kilograms divided by the square value of your height in meters. For example, if your weight is X kgs and your height is Y meters, then your BMI will calculated will be X divided by YxY
                                                                                               .
Alternatively, it can be calculated as: Weight in lbs divided by square value of height in inches multiplied by 703.
The BMI index is as follows:
Normal weight -- BMI  should be between 18.5 to 24.9.
Underweight   -- BMI  will be less than  18.5
Overweight    -- BMI  more than 25 but less than 29.9
Obese          --  BMI  will be more than 30
