DOnt target one area, its pointless. do some Cardio and loose it all.
The fit tv channell (222) can give u some good exersizes, or you can try the On Demand Fitness section and they’ll show u how to work ur belly. thats what i do
they’ll show u how to dance and everything. why buy dancing videos or take dancing classes when u can get it free on DEMAND>
whatever gets u up off the couch and keeps u moving will help
AVOID salty peanuts like cashews.
Diets dont work. Eat all low calories and avoid white rice. Switch to whole wheat bread and plain cheerios with weight watchers yogurt. Drink alot of whatever and eat alot of fruit. Avoid “sugar free” and eat fat free. Avoid all juices made with corn syrup. Drink alot of milk. No pop, even diet. Dont eat pizza, burgers and fries (its cooked in grease). Dont eat buttery popcorn and only eat popcorn because u feel like eating and but u dont need to. Dont eat chicken or chicken sandwhiches unless they were “grilled.” Eat fish.
there u go.
Grilled or boiled is the healthiest. Fried and greasy is most hurtful unless its grilled in Olive oil.
Avoid TV dinners and processed foods.
DONT EAT HOTDOGS!! try link sausages. Dont water ur food down in sauces like ketchup. Use less sauce
Eat “i cant believe its not butter”, its good stuff
if u buy a McDonald’s salad, dont use thier sauce packet. its loaded with fat and salt. Use ur own salad dressing thats less fattening. Order milk or apple juice at mcdonalds and try moderation. If u want a cookie, only eat 2. if u want ice cream, only eat 1 scoop (or just order the ice cream sunday cup at mcdonalds, thats a fair serving size. STOP eatting cones. its too many calories. NO bowls either.), etc. manage ur serving sizes and try to only eat those kindda snacks when ur gonna do some walking or exersize so u’ll burn up what u eat.
Thats the reason we’re fat, mind you. We eat more than our metabolism can burn up so that extra food gets stored.
Only eat what u can burn up, and then after that just eat popcorn and fruit. Be sure to go for walks to get some cardio in. Any type of cardio will help. Cardio is the only way to exersize and loose weight
p.s.– if u wanted to eat pizza, you’d have to remove the cheese and meat and only eat the crust so its a waste of money.
Almonds help burn belly fat. eat 28 a day. if u eat more than 28, you’ll get fat. almonds have good natural fats and oils the body need and eating 28 of them can make u feel full and replace a meal for u.
Eat sunflower seeds, its the same effect that the plain popcorn has. Chew on those if u just feel like chewing on something. avoid gum, even trident.
use Spenda, Sucralose, or Aspartame in your food and drinks. (it may be nasty at first, but once ur taste buds adjust to it, it’ll be DELICIOUS.)
Only eat baked patatoe chips, and Murray’s sugar free cookies. eat dry fruit
AVOID CEREAL BARS…they’ll make u fatter.
get more home cooked meals, prefferably alot of beans.
Avoid Hi-C. a beverage can make u extremely fat. it can be like eating an extra meal.
thats my diet, it works
The article below has the basics of Weight Watchers. I started about 6 weeks ago and am down about 15 lbs. I couldn’t have done it without actually going to the meetings. I tried many times over the past couple of years (my wife has been doing it for about 2 years now – lost 50 lbs).
Weight watchers works in the most simplistic way. It all has to do with calories. They replace calories with points and then give you an amount of points to consume daily based on a few factors (current weight, gender, age, etc.)
You find out how many points each food has and then log everything you eat. You can eat any foods so long as you stay within your points limit (and fyi a hamburger from a mcdonalds kids meal is like 6 points alone!).
I would recommend that you at least go to one meeting to get a feel for it and learn what is about from real people but other than that you can order books (weight watchers momentum starter kit 2009 and recipe books) that can help you do it without paying monthly for meetings.
