Hi Liam, take a look at the daily calorie table and the healthy eating article to help answer these questions. For exercise, as it says here, anything will do really. What are your goals? Do you want to get stronger and build some muscle, or be leaner? Circuit training and weight training are good options - you will find info on both here at MotleyHealth.

I am not very fat, I just have a bit of extra flab. Could you recommend me a calorie goal per day, and maybe some exercises I could do here and there throughout the day to lose weight? I’m 6′ 2” and 210 lbs. Thank you.

Hi Anee, power yoga and a low calorie diet should be enough really. You could add some more cardio, such as walking, swimming etc.

For core abs, just performing a variety of exercises is best really. These articles provide some more options:
Stomach Exercises to Build a Solid 6 Pack
Abdominal Exercises to Tone and Strengthen Your Stomach

Chocolate – this is a hard one. Really it is mostly a matter of willpower and habit. The first step is to ensure that they are not easily available – stop buying them. If you have them in the house for others, keep them hidden away out of sight.

HI,

Jan 1st 2012, I made the decision to implement healthy eating and exercise into my life indefinitely. Om currently 5′ 6, 151 lbs. I typically work out 4 to 5 days per week (60-90 mins daily). including lots of cardio and weight training and basic ab work. I limit my fat and overall caloric intake to 1200-1500 daily. I’m down 7 pounds and a lot more toned. However what are the best things I can do, outside of my normal routine, to improve my core/abs? Also I find that I struggle with chocolate/sugary cravings. Any advice? I would love your input! Thanks!

Hi Sneha, sounds like you need to get exercising. Do not worry about diet for now, so long as you eat no junk food, soda or sweets you should be OK. Go easy on the bread too. Most important is to exercise daily to start with.

Sangeeta, you must reduce your food intake to lose weight, especially if you are only going to walk for 30 minutes a day. Why not start running instead of walking?

Hi Martin, you should lose weight on that diet and fitness regime. Largely it depends on how much you are eating in those 2 meals. You do need a better diet though, eggs, bread and rice is not varied enough and you need to at least add fruits and vegetables.

Jogging will not cause you to develop bulky thighs, just look at long distance runners, they are mostly very slim. Sounds like your biggest problem is eating too much, when you say “.i love eating and eat all the time” what are you eating? How much? You need to focus on losing fat not losing muscles. Jogging will help. Yoga will also help if it is an energetic form.

Hi Rose, first you could increase your walking as this is a good form of exercise. Try to walk a little longer, aim for 45-60 minutes and maybe take some longer weekend walks too. You diet could do with an overhaul though. If you are skipping meals then this is likely to mean that you consume more when you do eat, and this is likely to lead to weight gain. Better to spread the meals out throughout the day and eat less in each meal, but enough to provide your body with the nutrition that it needs. So start the day with a healthy breakfast (oats are great), a hearty soup for lunch and something healthy like fish and vegetables in the evening. Reduce bread and other baked goods – monitor these foods carefully as they all contain a lot of energy.

Hi Gaurav, maybe try reducing bread, increase vegetables and work on increasing the running. 25 days is a short time, give it a few months so that your fitness increases and hen you should see some more noticeable changes.
