idunno but if u wanna loose weight
I have studied exercising and weight-loss for fifteen years and the number one misconception is that you weight too much. Dont stop reading if you want a hot body. You are not trying to loose weight you are trying to loose fat . There is a big difference, I no girls that are 5ft weight 110 and have hot bodies. This is because they have muscle. So if you want to look better gain muscle and burn fat.
OK now ill explain how:
Now one day eat normally as you would and count the calories you ate. If you do not no the amount of calories of a cartain food look it up.
Lets say you ate 2,000 calories
the next day 1950
then 1900
then 1850
then1800
cut it down slowly or else youll not loose weight and even if you do youll gain the weight back.
But cutting down on calories dont cut it take sugary and fatty substances out of your diet.
no chips
no soda
no cake …..
Also increase the protein intake. Eat proteins with low fat like chicken, fish, egg whites, whey protein shakes are good. Most of all eat your fruits and vegetables . Do not eat to late because it is a fact that you do not burn many calories sleeping so you gain weight by eating before you sleep. Eat small frequent meals. Meaning eat 5 times a day of small meals example:
when you wake up have a fruit (maby apple) and oatmeal
then 2-3 hours later
another samll meal and so on the best meal items,
eggs,
protein shake,
gereen vegetables (salads) remember lots of dieters eat salad but ruin it by putting dressing. No dressing its not healthy.
yogurt
orange juice (healthy but no more than 1 glass daily)
if you drink milk do not drink whole milk. fat reduced milk
brown rice- no white rice
beans…
high protein low carb’s. But do not be afriad of all carbs you need carbs like oatmeal, brown rice, pasta… just dont overload
Also remember to walk 10 minutes after breakfast!!!
You still have not done enought to loose weight
You must EXERCISE!!!!
ok i reccomend 10 minutes of walking every day after breakfast.
and do extra exercises 5 days a week. This includes cardio. Most people think they can loose weight with just dieting. Nope you must do 30+ min cardio 5 days weekly
Its is important to vary what you do and not let your body get too used to the exercises,
Things to do for cardio:
walk (fast)
jog
sprint
cycling
swimming
running stairs
jumpring jacks
jump ropes
play sports (maby join a track team)
I no a lot of girls think theyll become manly by working out but it shapes the body and maked you look better.
So i reccomend working out 3- 4 days a week. This will tighten your buttox and chest. help create a flat stomach and get rid of flab on the arms and legs.
Please workout–
I reccomend working out no longer than 50 min 4 days a week. The reason 50 min is because when you lift weights after 50 minutes your body breaks down muscle for energy instead of fat so i usually go 45 min
my schedule:
thursday- chest and back
friday- abs
saturday- legs
sunday- arms
Follow every thing i said and youll loose weight. It is a slow process and unlike dieting these effects will be life- term without having to starve your self all you have to do is eat healthy.
Stay motivated and even when you feel you cant loose weight and get muscle you can its a slow process.
So it may take over a few months maby even a year.
THE CHOICE IS YOURS FALL FOR THOSE FAKE COMMERCIALS ABOUT LOOSING 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK OR WORK HARD UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE THE BODY YOU WANT.
– REMEMBER THE CHOICE IS YOURS GOOD LUCK

I’ve read the Abs Diet book. It is useful even if you aren’t going to follow the plan because it gives you so much information about food and how your body works. It certainly changed the way I look at food. Definately worth the money! Heres the gist:
Eat six times a day (no calorie counting, just include a couple of super foods that he lists in each meal).
Cheat once a week. For one meal, eat whatever you want.
Smoothies are a big part of the diet because of their convenience. Recipes included.
Exercise is not required the first two weeks. The exercises suggested are, of course, abdominal exercises. There are illustrations and instructions of each ab exercise in the back of the book.
Emphasis is on strength training, not on cardio. He explains why in the book.
This is the gist of the Abs Diet for Men. I don’t know how different the womens book is, but I’m assuming it isn’t radically different.
By the way, the list of super foods isn’t super restrictive. There are many, many choices because most of the foods listed are more like categories (nuts) than specific foods. He also provides easy recipes.

The Abs diet was formulated to help a dieter lose weight all over their body and especially to reduce weight in the waist.
The book touts that someone that follows the diet to a T can lose up to 25 pounds in just 6 weeks.
Good luck!

I have undertaken the Abs Diet once about two years ago and have recently begun the regime once again. The name of the book is a bit of a misnomer. It’s not truly a diet but a lifestyle change. In other words, you never really stop using what you learn from it. The book is worth picking up if you haven’t really read or understand the processes that go on in your body. But if you do understand diet and exercise physiology already you can probably skip the first 60 pages because there is no earth-shattering science in there that can’t be gleaned elsewhere from dozens of other books – like the Zone Diet or the South Beach Diet.
The best thing about the plan is the ease of food choices. Using the 12 power foods takes the guesswork out of fixing meals and snacks. There are no time consuming recipes to worry about. The Abs Diet also places a pretty heavy emphasis on protein shakes or smoothies. That may get a little old for some people. As someone who loves variety in what I eat, the first time I tried the program I had a hard time because focusing on just the 12 power foods got a little monotonous after a while. But the good news is I did indeed lose weight and more importantly fat. I gave it a full six weeks and lost about 15 lbs. then switched back to Weight Watchers.
The bottom line is that it is a good program overall – especially if you only need to tighten up a bit or lose 20-30 lbs of fat. If you are morbidly obese (50-100 or more overweight) then this might be a tough program to stick with in the long term but certainly worth a try if for no other reason then to learn more about your body and the way it uses food.
Good luck!
