How to Lose Belly Fat and Get a Flat Stomach
Hi Lavina, for exercise you need to focus on doing regular, full body workouts. So a combination of cardio like running, cycling and swimming with resistance training, like bodyweight workouts or weight training. Do this often while eating a healthy diet, as detailed on this page. More info in the diet section too.Who: MotleyHealth

Are Fat Burning Pills Safe?
Hi Sasha. Firstly, you do not have "puppy fat" - you are 17 years old! 2 months? To get fit and stay fit, you have to make exercise a part of your life. It is not a short term solution. Fat burners will not help you. You need to change your diet and get exercising. Aim to exercise once per day, every day. Eat 3 meals, not snacks, and make sure each meal is well balanced and healthy. No junk food, no sodas, no high calorie drinks.Who: MotleyHealth

How Many Calories Do You Need Each Day To Lose Weight?
Hi Andrea, we are not familiar with the Grey sheet for Overeaters approach. However, 900-1000 Calories is below the recommended minium, but many people follow stricter VLCD (very low calorie diets) and successfully lose weight with them. At 258 pounds you focus must be on losing weight at the moment, carrying that amount of weight will have more serious long term health problems that a relatively short-term low calorie diet. So stick with it. Make sure that the calories you are eating are nutritious - limit all baked foods, bread, pasta etc. and eat fruits, oats, vegetables, lean meats, eggs, fish etc. Improved nutrition will reduce risk of following a low calorie diet. Consider taking a daily multi-vitamin too.Who: MotleyHealth

Hi! I'm 17 years old and I'm planing to join the gym for 2 whole months. I'm 5'10 and weigh 69 kg. I still have my puppy fat, and I have extremely huge hips and arms.

Cross Training / Elliptical Workouts
Yes Marjorie, skipping is great cardio. That is why boxers traditionally do a lot of skipping. How much? How much can you do? Skipping is very intensive and it is often best to do it as part of a circuit. You could start with 3 minute rounds with squats, crunches, push ups and some other exercises before returning to the skipping.Who: MotleyHealth

7 Day Exercise Plan for Fitness and Weight Loss
Hi Nicole, well, you can certainly eat healthy and avoid fish. Eggs and poultry are healthy protein sources. Really a healthy diet is simply a well balanced diet that does not provide too many calories. If you are looking to lose weight (fat) then it needs to contain fewer calories than you need. It is sensible to be more concerned about the stomach fat than your total weight as this is what makes being overweight unhealthy. A weight gain of 45 pounds in 12 years is not too bad - this works out at just 1/3 pound a month. To reverse it you do need to increase your activity levels (exercise is the easiest way to do this) and reduce calorie intake. It sounds like your biggest challenge is to change your eating habits. Dropping soda helps, but you need to do more. Sounds like you eat all the wrong foods when travelling, so you are going to have to make a real effort to change these habits. Make sure you have healthy snacks at hand that keep well, like nuts and dried fruits. Eat oats for breakfast. Avoid takeaways, instead go to the supermarket and buy roasted chicken portions and prepared salads etc. Stop soda and drink water instead.Who: MotleyHealth

How Many Calories Do You Need Each Day To Lose Weight?
Hi Kristin. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 16.4. This means your weight is within the Underweight range. The best way to build muscle is to start weight training (either free weights or resistance machines) and get more protein in your diet. Start eating more food and make sure you are eating a balanced diet.Who: MotleyHealth

How Many Calories Do You Need Each Day To Lose Weight?
Hi, I'm 22 years old, approximately 5' 8", and 108 lbs. I recently lost about 50 lbs. through diet and some exercise (4-5 days a week at first but then just walking to class lately). I try to never eat more than 800 calories a day and I don't really exercise. So, my question is, am I healthy and what must I do exercise-wise (even though I dislike exercising) to build back my muscle tone?Who: kristin

7 Day Exercise Plan for Fitness and Weight Loss
hello I am 29 years old, a single mother of an 11 year old. I was always a size 0 untill I had my daughter. Since 2000 I have gained 45 pounds. I am 5'6' and 145 now. I am not really concerned with my weight but the fact that I look like I am 6 months preganant is what bothers me. I have done everyday at the gym with a high protein diet. My weakness is soda. I have tried to cut it out of my diet several times and it lasts about a month but when I dont notice a change in my stomach I go right back to it. I am always on the road so I have a hard time eating well due to fast food. Not to mention I do not eat any seafood since I am allergic but all of these healthy meal plans always have these foods I would never even know where to buy. LOL i am a salad, chicken, steak, porkchop, eggs type of girl. Could you help me out. I dont have any idea how to eat healthy or how to live healthy and I need to lose this belly, it makes me super self concious and depressed. thanksWho: Nicole B

How Many Calories Do You Need Each Day To Lose Weight?
Hi Mishia, remember that the table shows how many calories you need (on average) to maintain your weight. If you set a target weight loss of 1 pound a week then you need to take 500 Calories from that figure, and for 2 pounds a week, 1000 Calories. So, consuming 1250 Calories on workout days and 1000 Calories on non workout days should (in theory!) help you to lose 2 pounds a week.Who: MotleyHealth

How To Lose Baby Fat - Mom's Workouts
Hi Emma, sounds like you have made great progress. Losing 2 1/2 stone is excellent work, you should be very proud of that. First suggestion - stop the fizzy drinks completely. That would be a very simple change to implement. Try to do more exercise. While yoga once a week and walking is good, you should be able to increase your workload a little to get fitter and stronger - this will help burn off more fat.Who: MotleyHealth

How Many Calories Do You Need Each Day To Lose Weight?
Hi Jean. Age does play a big role. Unless you have been really active in recent years you have probably suffered quite a bit of muscle wastage - this is what slows metabolism. What is important to remember is that you have lost some weight (albeit only a little) and you must be getting fitter by doing the exercise, and I trust that the point counting also means healthier food choices in general too. So overall, you must be fitter, stronger and healthier. Just stick to the plan. If you can do more exercise, do a little more. Make sure the diet is healthy - not too much bread, cakes and other baked goods etc. Get some good proteins inside you (eggs and fish etc.).Who: MotleyHealth
