How do I lose weight without diet pills?
Cookie Diet July 4th, 2009My mom and I both want to lose weight. I weigh 108 and my mom weighs 160. I want to lose about 5-10 lbs. to get flat abs. My mom wants to lose 20-40 lbs.
*Background*
We don’t exercise. Maybe 1 time every month.
Every morning and night, I eat cookies or cereal as a snack.
How much should we exercise and what should we eat to lose the pounds? What types of exercises will help in getting flat abs/gain muscle in legs and stomach?
What are some healthy alternatives to the snacks?
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for visiting our Cookie Diet website today. We hope you join the program and start losing weight.
Exercises to trim certain areas of your body are a myth, your body takes fat to burn from anywhere and everywhere. If you’re looking for exercises you can do without having to pay for a gym membership, walking lunges are a good choice for legs, ball squats if you can get your hands on a swiss ball, burpies are a good general body workout, cardio is good from trimming fat. Leg lifts, crunches (both straight and cross over) and damn near anything involving a medicine ball are good core workouts if you don’t have access to a gym.
A note for workouts, do not eat after a workout, after a workout your body begins burning fat to get you going again, if you eat something, your body will digest that and use the nutrients from that instead of what you have stored in your body. Most of these workout you can find instructional videos for on youtube. In addition, with you want a medicine ball but don’t want to buy one, you can make one cheap out of an old basket ball, and sand. Simply deflate the ball, cut a hole in it and fill it with sand until you have a sufficient weight. After, just fill up the hole with some Epoxy from a hardware store. A standard size basket ball filled with sand will be about 25 pounds.
Many can also be tweaked to improved the quality of the workout, with burpies for example, when your legs are extended, do a push up, than continue as normal.
Healthy snacks: Fruits, vegetables, meat, fish,,, a general rule of thumb, if it’s not something that can be grown or raised on a farm, avoid it. No soda, no chocolate, no candy.
