How do I lose weight?

[130moodtrbl]

I calculated my BMI and I'm overweight and need lose 20 lbs to get to a healthy BMI? How do I do it? What and how should I eat? What type of workouts should I do? My time frame is about 2-3 months since I'm almost finished with this semester in school and start back in August. Any tips will help.

Just eat less.

I've read you're supposed to eat every 2-3 hours (not full meals)

[kvnwrhl]

[sirius]

eat in a small or moderate amount but frequently --> my mum's method

as for me I didn't eat rice as much as before, drink a lot of water and go swimming twice a week

[Morgin]

Eat healthy : 3 meals per day, no snacks in between. It's completely useless to eat less, so don't starve yourself.

I think the key is doing exercise. It's the only way to lose weight efficiently tbh.

[Pyo Hyemi]

ok what type? How?

during holidays i lost 7kg, i was dancing 1-3h for 25 days

for example 

Hyosung - Good Night Kiss 2 times normal and 2 times faster (1,5x)

Orange Caramel - Catallena 10 times normal and 5 times faster

etc

i was sweaty af

another simple dances: 

GLAM - I like that, GD & TAEYANG - Good Boy, Orange Caramel - Abing Abing & My Copycat

and remember: 1 kg or 2 pounds = 7000 kcal

1 dance = 20-40kcal

 

you can also download an app "Just Dance Now", go to page http://justdancenow.com/and dance, there is also a game for Play Station, i love it 

or just use yt

acknowledge the fact that the way you eat is linked to your lifestyle

if you really wanna lose weight and maintain a certain weight, you'll need to change your habits as well

so I wouldn't say eat less but eat more fresh and natural food (vegetable, fruits etc)

but of course it doesn't mean that you can't eat other foods anymore but not as much as before

also exercice a lot, maybe get a suscribtion for the gym and go at least 4 times a week

or go for a 30min run every other day. Just try to be more active in general

 

In the begining it might a bit hard so don't put too much pressure on yourself

start slowly maybe ask your family or friends to help you throught this.

this turned out to be pretty long lol, but yeah that's it

Good Luck !

20 lbs in 2-3 months is too much for a healthy, steady weight loss. Also fat weights less than muscle, so if you are going to be more active, you should focus more on how your body feels and looks instead of what the scales tell you.

 

Other than that:

 

1. Discipline, it's going to suck and you will hate it but there is simply no easy way to lose weight.

2. Patience, you WILL plateau at a certain point for a while. It happens. Don't give up.

3. Start by analyzing your food intake and overall behaviour: write a diary or take pics of EVERYTHING you eat and when you eat it, do this for 2 weeks, then read and see where your "hidden" calorie intake comes from. Try to eliminate this or change it for a healthier option. E.g., snacking on chocolate after work? Replace with a banana or have your dinner earlier if you really need to eat at that time.

4. Walk everywhere. Go swimming. Do some weight training.

Eat fruits instead and starving yourself.

First of all, your BMI can only tell you so much. However, you are probably still overweight. 

 

You need to start by cleaning up your diet - no junk food, candy, soda, added sugar, white flour, starchy foods, fast food.

 

You should be mainly eating vegetables (leafy greens, sweet potatoes, zucchini), fruit (grapefruit, berries, bananas), whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa), dairy (greek yogurt), and protein (beans, brown rice, tofu, cheese, greek yogurt, chicken breast). No beverages besides water, tea, and coffee (all without added sugar, milk, etc.) Also, water helps you burn calories and fill you up.

 

Aim to eat less food more often. Instead of 3 huge meals, eat 5 small ones throughout the day. 

 

For the exercise part, start doing cardio (learn kpop dances, bike, row, jump rope, swimming). You should be exercising 30-60 minutes a day. Also do yoga and stretches before and after exercising. Walk as much as you can~

 

Look up FitnessBlender on YouTube and do any of their workouts. Jump roping and dancing are the best workouts in my opinion, and you can work up to jump roping 5000 times a day. Start by 50 jumps at a time, then 100, then 200. Then do 1000 skips 5 times a day ^^

 

I probably have left something out, so feel free to message me if you have an questions 

 

P.S - 20 lbs is a very healthy goal for 3 months. A loss of 2 pounds a week is definitely not too much~

If you have problems sticking to smaller meals throughout the day (like me..), you could try something called intermittent fasting, which is what I do. There's many different types but I typically eat 2 big meals a day (around 700 calories per meal) and it keeps me in the calorie range I need to be in but still satisfies me as opposed to eating like 200 calorie meals throughout the day. I'm the type of person that if I don't eat, I'm ok but once I start it's hard to stop until I'm pretty much completely full. DO YOUR RESEARCH before you jump into it and make sure you are actually eating enough (and eating healthy)!

It's always overwhelming to do everything at once and also the reason I think why most people quit after a week or two so once you start seeing some results, I think it would be good to add in some exercise to further your gains and not overwhelm yourself from the beginning .

Create a deficit. It's not hard to lose 1-2 pounds per week through diet alone if you just count your calories. A lot of people fail at this because they underestimate how much they're actually eating.

[Nowhere Boy]

1500 calories per day

[Gyujin]

Limit your calorie intake to 1200-1500 (depending on your age).
