How do I lose fat without gaining more mass?

Date Posted: July 22nd, 2010 Posted Under: how to lose fat

I’m a 17 year old competitive female athlete and am continually excercising. I run 4-8 miles a day including an hour or so of weight training and play competitive soccer 4 days a week. I started off being VERY thin and petite and have worked my way to having an athletic built and am bigger than i’d prefer. I’m currently on my off season and it seems my muscle is turning to fat and i’m just gaining mass. How do I lose body fat and get my lean and toned figure back?

hey, you know what? The most unexpensive weight loss thing to do, is to try to burn more calories than you eat, dont eat unhealthy like a 500 calorie diet! All that will do is make you sick, you NEED to be healthy to lose weight properly. Im trying to lose weight too! So basically here are some tips to speed up your metabolism: Drink 1-3 glasses of green tea a day
Try and eat Chilli peppers somehow, ((chilli DUH )) they help.
8 classes of water a day

the more active you are, the faster your metabolism will grow to be.

did you know that breathing for an hour burns 60 calories all on its own? And SLEEP is very important, try to go to sleep on time and get your ages average amount of sleep,. ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you is, and then after you have reached that goal do sit ups and crutches - among many other core excersises, Run to slim out, and make sure you burn more calories than you eat - had to repeat that!

Fruits and veggies are REALLY low in calories and FULL of nutrition. If you like Tacos? Ditch the hard shell, maybe try a taco salad.. without the shell of course! Lettuce with meat is good, but PLEASE try mixing it with turkey and beef so that it isnt all fat. Chicken salad is good, you want the protein but you dont want fried anything really, once in a while if fine but remember - YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA CALORIES. Excersises excersise excersise. Dont over do it - dont starve yourself, be moderate and stay active. GOOGLE: 100 ways to burn 100 calories, their are some pretty cool things you can do!

Stay away from starchy and high carb foods - mostly white things. Bread is a bad, so try to stick to thin, HIGH in fiber, slices :)

you can google all the stuff and before you know it you will feel so good about it all and IM actually excited to start working out and all that, just because I know what it will do for me!

but if you must go with a diet, try Weight Watchers, its the only one I actually recommend. :)

Burn Fat Fast With Negative Calorie Foods

Date Posted: July 21st, 2010 Posted Under: burn fat fast

If you want to burn fat and lose weight safely, why not take advantage of some of natureâ??s most perfect foods? These are foods that not only taste great, but work with your body to burn fat and accelerate your weight loss at the same time.

These are called â??negative calorie foodsâ? because of the way your body processes them. By eating negative calorie foods, you actually burn fat and see weight loss because your body burns more calories digesting these foods than you actually take in from eating them.

In other words, a dessert containing 450 calories may only take 150 calories for your body to digest. So you have a net gain of 300 calories. But a fresh vegetable that has around 50 calories will take your body 100 calories to digest. So you are burning 50 more calories than you are taking in, resulting in a â??negativeâ? caloric intake of 50 calories.

What is a perfect example? An apple. Not only is an apple tasty and good for you (an apple a day, remember) but a medium sized apple puts about 100 calories into your system.

However, you burn around 130 to 150 calories to digest the apple; so you are burning more calories through digestion of the apple than you are taking in from eating it. You actually have a negative caloric intake from eating the apple.

There are several excellent negative calorie foods that you should try and incorporate into your diet on an everyday basis if you want to burn fat and lose weight. And not surprisingly, these foods are some of the healthiest foods you can eat when it comes to weight loss.

However, donâ??t design a diet using only negative calorie foods. That would not only be boring, but unhealthy for you as well. Why not try and incorporate negative calorie foods as a supplement to what you would normally eat on a daily basis?

For example, instead of that baked potato, why not have some extra broccoli, spinach, or some other leafy greens instead? Substitute that high sugar cereal with some yogurt and fresh blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries.

And everyone has heard of the â??grapefruit dietâ?; the grapefruit diet works because it is another negative calorie food. Sweeten the tartness of grapefruit with a little cinnamon (which helps bump up your metabolism as well).

Substitute salmon for that steak or prime rib; not only is salmon high in protein and omega 3 fats (the good fat), but it is another great negative calorie food that your body craves. And grilled salmon is one of the best tasting fish recipes available to you.

Nuts are a great substitute for candy; replace those Hershey kisses with a handful of almonds or cashews. Nuts are a great source of vegetable protein, and they boost the immune system as well as lowering bad cholesterol levels.

Also, replace those sodas with some green tea. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants, and has a high thermogenic effect which cranks up your metabolism to help burn fat and lose weight as well.

And there is no special green tea you need to get at some health food store. Simple green tea you find at the grocery store will work just fine. If you canâ??t take the taste of green tea, try some green tea extract available in pill form in the vitamin aisle. Just make sure that you get the 500 mg or higher tablets to get the full benefits of the antioxidants in green tea.

Or try the old standby of simply adding some fresh squeezed lemon to a glass of water. Most citrus fruits are negative calorie foods, and they have a full complement of nutrients that your body needs.

Try and experiment with adding at least one negative calorie food to every meal. You are not going to drop 20 pounds overnight; but over time you will see results in your quest to burn fat and lose weight.

And it will also be a healthy weight loss, since most negative calorie foods are good for your body in the first place.

How do you lose fat in your face?

Date Posted: July 1st, 2010 Posted Under: how to lose fat

How do you lose the fat in your face. Im skinny bout 130 pounds but muscular at age 16 bout 5′6 or 5′7 and have a sorta chubby face. I would love to lose that and get a skinnier face look but how?

that sounds like what people refer to as ‘baby fat’ at your age, and it will probably disappear as you mature and hormones change. there is no way to really lose fat in one area, you lose weight all over when you are in a calorie deficit (using more calories than you eat) and when you don’t have any stored anywhere else, your face will get thinner, too…but are you sure it is fat? puffiness can be from water retention…consuming too much sodium, not drinking enough fluids are things that can cause this.

How much cardio is needed to lose fat and gain muscle?

Date Posted: June 22nd, 2010 Posted Under: how to lose fat

My BMI is 25. So to gain muscle and lose fat (I want to be at BMI range 18.5-24.9 ), how much cardio should I ideally do and for how long? I usually do 10 min of jogging, but I’m not sure if this will affect gaining muscle or losing fat.
So I do weigtlifting to gain muscle and cardio (for about 10) to lose fat.

25 BMI is close to obese, isn’t it? I could be mistaken. Either way, it’s time for a change. Here’s a 6 day workout routine for you. Mon, wed, Fri. Lift for 30-45 minutes, alternating upper and lower body each different day. after that, jog as many laps around the gym as you can. bring a stop watch. then finish the rest of the time on an eliptical machine, until you reach 30 minutes total. Summary: 30-45 lifting, 30 minutes of cardio

Tues, thurs. sat. walk on a treadmill at 3.5 mph and a 0.5% incline. this will cause more calorie burning.

Sundays: play video games.

follow this and you will shed the pounds.

How to lose belly and chest fat for a male without gaining muscles?

Date Posted: June 2nd, 2010 Posted Under: how to lose fat

I want to lose fat that makes me look thinner. I don’t want to do any resistant training to achieve this nor do i want to gain mass muscles.
Suggestions?

I always find the best way for me to lose weight is just to start walking a lot more. Just add 30 mins to an hour of walking a few times a week and you will see it fall off pretty fast. I see my unwanted weight gain go fast and since you are male yours will go much faster. It is a great way to loose the weight but not add muscle. If you find you want to start to add muscle tone later on you can always add something more later on:-) Best of luck to you!

Houston area obese murder Mayra Rosales 2008 outcome? Too fat to arrest?
In April 2008 Mayra Rosales, a 1000 pound lady, was accused of killing a 2 year old in her house. No one knew what to do because she didn’t fit through the door of her house OR a cell or the courthouse. It was determined that it would cost $5000 per day to have her under arrest. I can’t find ANYTHING past 2008…. what happened?

Mother charged with capital murder in tot’s death

Associated Press

— EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A grand jury has indicted the 22-year-old mother of a toddler killed in 2008 on capital murder and other charges two days after she returned from months on the run in Mexico.

Hidalgo County prosecutor Andrew Almaguer says Jamie Lee Rosales is charged with capital murder, two counts of injury to a child and jumping bail.

In March 2009, prosecutors charged her sister, Mayra Rosales with capital murder for allegedly killing her 2 1/2-year old nephew, Eliseo Gonzalez Jr., with two blows to the head. According to court records, Mayra Rosales weighed about 800 pounds at the time of the death.

Jamie Lee Rosales was originally charged with injury to a child for leaving the boy with his bedridden aunt. The younger sister remains in custody and is scheduled to appear before a judge Monday.

3.  Drink LOTS of water!  Water flushes fat and toxins from your body, and also helps keep your metabolism boosted.

4.  Eat more often.  Like this one, huh?  Eating smaller portions and eating more often keeps a constant supply of calories in your body, which also speeds fat burn and weight loss.  Of course, you have to eat fat burning foods in order for this to be effective.

These are just a few examples of how to lose weight fast and easy.  Of course there is a method to all of this, such as what type of calories to eat at each meal.  Combining protein, fat grams and carbs at each meal is the secret to losing weight fast.

Why are people against the death penalty?

Date Posted: May 6th, 2010 Posted Under: murder fat

Why are so many people not willing that a man who commits war crimes face death. If our Beloved country God-forbid, was ever attacked, was in ruins, and the American patriots were fighting for what was left of our country. And you saw those American patriots being executed after surrender and your family was taken away, your mother and sisters raped, father and brothers killed, would you not want the man responsible to pay with his life? I know it’s hard to say because we are spoiled fat in this country, we haven’t had the effects and destruction of war in this country, thank God. But would you, after seeing that man ruin your family, give that murder a second chance. Or would you respect your family and see that man dead ? Just something to think about….
I just want everyone to think about that… I know many people whould rather that man rot in prison, however seeing millions die because of one sick mans desire to "take over" might change your mind, but then again we never experienced that.

Fear of death is the only even partially effective deterrent. Americans have grown soft, and out of touch with reality. That’s why we have the highest incarceration rate per capita in the would, with an 85% recidivism rate! That means that 6 out of 7 people released from prison didn’t learn squat, and are going to do IT AGAIN, and maybe to you!!! To be such a smart people, sometimes we sure are dumb!!

Burn Fat Fast and Efficiently

Date Posted: May 6th, 2010 Posted Under: burn fat fast

If you are just starting out in your battle to burn fat fast, information may be one of the best tools in your weight loss arsenal.

If you learn how your body works when it comes to burning body fat and calories, then you will be able to tailor a program of eating and exercise that will allow you to burn fat fast and see consistent results over time.

While diet plays an important part of any burn fat fast program, exercise will not only help you burn body fat faster; but it will also help you keep off that weight once you have lost it.

If you want to burn fat fast, you have to incorporate some type of cardio exercise into your weekly routine. And this simple tip is something that most people do not realize.

When beginning any exercise program, always do your cardio workouts last.

Any cardio like biking, jogging, elliptical machine, or swimming will help bump up your metabolism and burn fat fast; but it takes a few minutes before your body will get all of the benefits of the cardio exercise you are using.

It takes your body about 15 minutes to warm up before it will start to burn body fat.

So if you can do 15 minutes of light weight training first before your cardio workout, your body will immediately start burning fat and youâ??ll get the maximum results when you do start your cardio workout.

On the other hand, if you immediately head to the treadmill, and jog steady for 30 full minutes without doing anything else, your body will not start to actually burn body fat until 15 minutes into your jog.

So out of the 30 minutes spent on the treadmill, you will only be actually burning body fat during the last 15 minutes of your run.

Take the time to do some light warm ups and/or weight training so your body is ready to burn fat fast as soon as you hit your cardio exercise.

Jumping rope or some light weight lifting for 15 minutes before hitting the bike, treadmill, or pool will allow you to burn fat fast and give you the maximum benefits from your cardio workout.
