wheatcakes 10 grams 34 calories
Total Calories Consumed: 756I know the calorie total is a tad low, and I'm working on that. But what concerns me is that I have about 80% carbs.
Any idea how to cut down on that?
Answer:
Cut out the spaghetti, first of all, have green veggies and chicken. Use Splenda in your Tang instead of sugar.
well this diet works . . but ive been told that once you go on a low carb diet, you can never go back to eating carbs becaus eyour body looses some of the ability to convert them, so if you ever go back to eating carbs you get real big real fast, but if you want to still lower carb intake, pasta, potatoes, startchy foods, all bad, ive heard carrots are bad and tomatoes . . .but if i was you i woudl still eat fresh fruits and vegtables
Check out the zone diet. You can get a book. It's awesome! I've lost 35lbs!www.thezone.com
Well, cut out the pasta and any flavored beverages. Anything that contains flour is something you should cut out. Try and drink only water (coming from me that is a huge task - I have a hard time doing that, but when I cut soda out entirely, I lost several pounds in only a couple of weeks). If you must have bread for sandwiches, try using low-carb mulitgrain wraps instead. The best thing, however, it start to diligenty read food labels and you'll start learning what is low carb and what isn't.
Switch one of your speghetti meals to some vegetables and fish or chicken. If you only eat spaghetti every meal You may turn into speghetti (advice from my grandmother)
Try sushi for lunch. Do you have it nearby ?Salmon, tuna and eel sushi contain approximately 200 calories per four ounce serving. The number is cut by half if the sushi uses Shrimp and octopus. That鈥檚 not including the nutrition that the fish holds, such as: B Vitamins, selenium and Omega 3 acids. Studies has proven that those omega 3 acids actually good for your health.Sushi is also a good lunch for those who are on weight loss diet due to the small servings size they are served.

How do I CrossTrain for Cross Country(3miles)?
I want to Cross Train this year but i dont know what to swim or bike,(i.e. how far do i swim?swim fast? bike for a long distance or bike in short circuts at high speeds) please help me out! if there's a website that might contain this info, please let me know! Thanks
Answer:
Hi,I have been running for 15 years and have completed several marathons.As far as getting the same aerobic workout without the pounding,the ONLY machine or exercise that gave me the same heart rate and training as running was using a Precor elliptical trainer.You can do interval training on it as well.Go to www.precor.com and they have training regimes for people that are advanced in fitness level like you or I.Go to www.precor.com.I loved this machine so much at the gym I bought one for home!The man who invented this machine noticed that his daughter while running,ran in an ellipse.There are several studies that runner's that were injured and trained for months on a elliptical trainer showed no drop off in fitness and actually improved in some cases.

How do I continue running when I'm breathing hard?
Tomorrow I have to do the mile run in gym, and I want to get a good score. My endurance isn't that good.
Answer:
Just pace yourself, don't go too fast. I run track and I have terrible endurance. To get your endurance up you really have to start training early.Goodluck!
If you're breathing hard you should perhaps slow down a little bit and catch your breath. It's better that you prepare for the race by getting good sleep, eating a good breakfast, and stretching before running. Try to run at a consistent speed the whole time instead of starting off very fast and then tiring yourself out.
Take the mile steadily and try to maintain your speed at a very mildly challenging, comfortable pace. If you concentrate on that, you'll finish before you know it, with a decent time. Its okay to breathe hard- its good for you, as long as you don't do it for TOO long... Good luck tomorrow
I have friend who told me that breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth helps, because your lungs expand more when you breathe through your nose. I've tried it, and it seems to help.
Remember that running for endurance has a lot to do with your mental strength. You could set little goals, like say, I just have to run to that post, and then when you get to the post, say, I just have to run around the corner... it's so easy to stop when you start to feel the pain and the burn... but if you can get past the mental block, you can do it.

How do I concentrate in school while dieting?
I am a college student who is trying to eat healthy and lose weight while restricting calories. I study EE which has lots of math and physics in it, so i eventually need some sugar and caffiene to concentrate for longer hours. How can I manage to quit eating sugards and caffiene. I do very well but I always fail when the first round of exams comes up.
Answer:
next time you feel like having sugar or caffiene drink a bottle or glass of water instead.i did it for about 3 months. i had no soda, (but had one cup of coffee each morning) and just ate healthy the rest of the day and counted my calories and i lost about 20lbs in 3 months. i also worked out a lot (weights and running) while going to school and work.just tell yourself to have water instead of sweets. or have a decaf tea or coffee, etc.
Slowly ween yourself. Don't do it all in one day.
I'm assuming that by sugar, you mean sugar like in candy, etc. Try eating more fruit; it's a good source of fiber and has its own natural sugars.Coffee is actually good for you, though I think you're not supposed to have more than three cups a day. Like the previous answer, try to slowly wean yourself off the coffee. And maybe start taking it black to also cut back on sugar.
Simple sugar is aweful. Stick to low glycemic carbs, they will give you sustained energy. Have some oatmeal (not the instant kind) with some protein source.

How do I burn fat in my face?
My face looks fat. It's kinda chubby, but I'm not fat or overweight or anything like that. Is there some way I can burn fat from my face? Thanks.
Answer:
too bad that you are not fat or else its easier to expllain what yo should do. anyway, no offence and just kidding.
some of my beauticians fellow told me this, so hopefully it helps you..
take chewing gums everyday. you know lots available in the market so just pick the healthy one. chew and chew, its a natural exercise for your face.
secondly , spend some money to saloon whereby ask the beautician to do face massage for you. it may helps to tone up and face lift your face whereby your face would actually look tighter . that one can only do at least one or two times a week but still depend on your face features.
learn to do that by yourself, then its will be cheaper cos you can do it anytime as you like.
if you are fat, slim down can do cos your face will also slim down by itself.
LAStly, if you face is chubby by natural or its genetic in this way, just stay as it is. no need to change at all cos its very hard.
so, good luck and give it a try then . hope it helps
unfortunately you cannot target specific fat areas. Fat burns all over. Some people like myself have chubbier faces.
you can try up your head when jogging
http://www.best-diet-food.com
blowtorch
Wear a light bronzer on your jawline and lower cheeks to make yourself look slimmer in the face. good luck
You just exercise and hope it comes off or you can get a liposuction,etc. (If your really desperate.) Anyway i would just exercise if i were you. Same with me.
chew alot of gum
you can't lose weight in a particular area. If you really want to lose the weight, than you have to diet and exercise. It might not come off the face though.

How do i build up my will power to loose weight?
I want to loose weight but food rather than excercise is the issue, when i come home from work i can't be bothered to cook and neither can rich. its will power problems rather than anything, i want to loose it but am maybe too lazy to try, i'm not after a quick fix i want something that will change my lifestyle, something that is quick and simple to do (food prep wise) and cheap aswell.my biggest problem is my love for donner meat and chips, any idea's for alternatives?I'd love some idea's on lifestyle diets that are easy to stick to and if anyone who's been there has any advice
Answer:
Try joining a slimming world class, its great motivation and with Red %26 Green days you can have sin free chips and proper meat kebabs. You could also try putting a naked pic of yourself on your fridge.Best of luck
I would suggest snacking throughout the day. 5 to 6 small meals a day. That way when you get home for a rough day at work, you don't have to prepare a meal, because you may not be hungrey. This boosts up you metablism and helps burn calories. Try Garnola Bars, K Smart bars, popcorn, or the little frozen diet dinners at wal-mart. Good luck. And I hope I helped you out a little. Take care.
You get yourself a goddamn backbone?
Consider taking time out at the weekend and planning your meals for the week, make them and freeze them, walla; instant meals that are healthy and made by yourself. We all have our 鈥榝avourite鈥?foods. Consider having chips once a week, nothing wrong with that, and there is nothing wrong with indulging our 鈥榥aughty鈥?habits once in a while, at least it鈥檒l stop you binging out right on them. Moderation is the key, I don鈥檛 believe in excluding any food from our diets, just eat it in moderation.Sparkpeople.com - great motivational website.
3fatchicks.com - same.
My suggestion would be to just do it. Now. I find the biggest reason I don't start things isn't really becasue I'm lazy, I'm more afraid I'll try and fail. Pick a form of exercise you like (for me it's tennis and running, you may prefer dancing, aerobics or anything that keeps you active- needn't be a 'sport'). This will help you burn off some extra calories, and believe me it'll be worth it once you see your new body. On the diet side, I'd just say cut down on your portions. Don't worry about losing weight fast. It will come off naturally if you increase your activity level, and reduce what you're eating- even if that's only by 10%. Also, don't be afraid of an occasional donner meat and chps. One helping won't kill you, but keep it occasional ;)
Hey girlfriend,been there done that!! Find your motivation for losing weight and plan in advance.Forget the donner and chips,well treat yourself to it maybe once a month.Only a treat remember!! Be prepared to eat lots of fruit and vegetables,anyway but fried.Avoid anything fried and try that 1cal spray from supermarkets.Its great.If you have a naff day..hey dont worry just get back to it as soon as possible.Buy yourself an item of clothing in the size you wanna reach and that will be your motivation and the compliments you receive will be your biggest motivation.Dont forget to exercise.Be sensible.All the best.

How do I build my chest up when the only equipment I have is dumbells?
I decided recently that I want to try to build at least a basic amount of muscle. I bought a "Weight Training for Dummies" book, but about half the exercises are for either barbells or gym machines. I don't have a way of getting to the gym and I can't afford barbells, so dumbbells are basically my only option. I tried the one and only dumbbell chest exercise in the book (essentially an imitation of the bench press), but it only felt like it was working my arms and not my chest. I also tried adjusting my posture, but still nothing. What are some other dumbbell exercises I can do for my chest?
Answer:
I would do push ups- either regular ones- or elevate your legs on the couch and your upper body is on the floor so your body is angled and do push ups.
http://www.sport-fitness-advisor.com/dum...http://www.dumbbell-exercise.com/dumbbel...http://www.changingshape.com/exercise/di...Above are a few websites found with regards to dumbbell exercises to find more just do a search under google and it'll bring you up other websites.Good luck and happy training.K
I'm in the exact same situation you are in. I only have dumbells (however i'm getting a cheap bench one of these days) and i want to work on my chest. Basically i just do push ups and do bench presses (if you could call it that) with the dumbells on the floor. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me can answer your question better than i can. Good luck.
Flies are basically the only exercise I can think of. I think your form might be off.In order to target the chest, you probably will have to use a light weight, so you can put yourself into a position to use your chest instead of your shoulders and arms. Try doing it without weight first to get the feel of it. Just lay on your back, hold your arms out to the side, and contract your pecs. Your arms should rise up. Add light weights when you are able to do this correctly.*Thought of another: Dumbbell "bench" presses with a "wide grip" down to the neck.
you can put the dumbbells on the ground and do push-ups with your hands holding on to the dumbbellsthis allows you to get deeper with the push-ups and makes them more difficultand if you want to do the bench press imitation try keeping a larger distance between the dumbbells
Make sure when you are doing that imitation bench press that you are flexing your chest as you raise the weights. Also, do them SLOWLY. You may need an increase in weights. Push ups are also good for the chest. If push ups get too easy, then do them one handed, or clap in between them. You can use your own body weight to get some serious results.
lay on your back and do butterfly moves with all the weight you can do for eight reps. Then tilt a board at 45 deg. lean back on the board and 8 more. then forget about it for two days, then repeat. push ups are good but don't do them same day. try for 50 mpushups, then go for one hand ones, but only a few. Too many reps make you hard, but not big. when you are 70 like me, watch that those big pecs don't get saggy, you can never quit. some things once you get them , you gotta take care of for life.

How do I build muscle mass and strenght?
I am 14 years old and my parents don't let me weight lift so I need an alternate way of building muscle mass and strenght.
Answer:
why wont they let you lift? because it will make you short? thats an old wives tale. go online and do your research showing the benefits of weight training and present it to your parents. explain your goals of wanting a healthy lifestyle by exercise, etc etc etc.. now to answer your question, you can do body weight exercises. pushups, diamond pushups, pullups, squats, dips, these are exercises you can do without weight and still strengthen your muscles.

How do I build muscle best?
I have been going to the gym for 12 months twice a week for 45min - 1 hour sessions, and although I have toned up and built a little muscle I thought I would be much bigger by now, yesterday I changed my tactics to less reps more weight, will this build muscle quicker than less weight more reps? Any other advice would be welcome! Cheers
Answer:
NO !! Less reps and more weight (don't hurt yourself, of course)
Let's summarize:
- Lots of calories and carbs and good polyinsaturated, monosaturated fats.- 1 muscle group per week- Train heavy (go heavy or go home)- Sleep AT LEAST 8 hrs per night no matter what- Take some caseine proteine before going to bed- Spread your meals in 6-7 small meals-Supplement with 10 Gr. of glutamine per dayFollow these instructions and there is no Freakin' way you won't be huge.
Less rep more weight should help. Less rep / more weights is done to build muslce. More reps / less weight is to just tone up and build endurance. Also, change up your routine every now and then. You body becomes more efficient over time and muscles have memory so "shock" them with different versions of the same exercise.i.e. instead of bench press do bar bell presses. Good luck.
Find someone to help you with a food choosing, that is very important too.
And for god sake, do not even think of synthetic additions or that kind of stuff.
You gotta train more like 4 days a week at least, for an overall body workout. 1 h a session is right on target. Work on your diet and intensity of your workout. More calories and shorter brakes in between sets. Don't overdo the calories though. Just bump it up with 300 calories a week se where it takes you. If you se you getting fat cut down, if not bump up some more, until you find your balance.I like to do about 4 exercises with 4 - 3 sets pr muscle-group, and I take 2 muscle-groups a day. like chest triceps...and abs...but those don't really count.
Protein suppliments and more weight less reps.
Try adding protein shakes to your morning diet. Its good for building muscle. You can find them at any GNC or Vitamin World.
get a spotter. stop just exercising and start lifting heavy til it burns. take day to rest/rebuild. eat meat. when it's hard to lift your gym bag after a workout, ya did good!!

If you se you getting fat cut down, if not bump up some more, until you find your balance.I like to do about 4 exercises with 4 - 3 sets pr muscle-group, and I take 2 muscle-groups a day. like chest triceps...and abs...but those don't really count.
Protein suppliments and more weight less reps.
Try adding protein shakes to your morning diet. Its good for building muscle. You can find them at any GNC or Vitamin World.
get a spotter. stop just exercising and start lifting heavy til it burns. take day to rest/rebuild. eat meat. when it's hard to lift your gym bag after a workout, ya did good!!
How do i build muscle around my legs,bum and tummy to burn fat..?
bin on a diet for 5 weeks ive lost 11 pounds...im 18 and i weigh 138 pounds now...i have a healthy diet and i do around 3 miles of jogging a day but when you build muscle you burn more fat so how cud i build some muscle in the areas i want to lose weight...
Answer:
Dont think about you body as specific areas. Gain lean muscle all around and you burn fat easier. Especiall in the mid section. Look into doing full body workouts with high reps and low weight. Instead of jogging all the time think about doing interval training for ex. jog 2 minutes then sprint for 45sec-1 min, repeat for 10-15 bouts. You burn a hell of alot more calories this way. Good Luck

How do I build calf muscle quickly?
I'm of a small build ( size 8 ) and at the age of 22 I have no cellulite ( thank the Lord ). My body is well toned ( not muscle, just no saggy bits ). I want to build some calf muscle quickly with out affecting my thigh muscles and buttock muscles too much. Is there a way I could do this? A quick way? Please??
Answer:
Perfect way is to do calf raises. Stand flat on the ground and do several sets of raising yourself up on your tip toes and then slowly back down again. These isolate your calf muscles and will flesh them out a little.
Run regularly maybe a few metres?
stand on a step or a couple of phone books with just your toes (heels off) and raise and lower yourself. do this for about 20 reps about 3 times a day and you should start to get some calf muscles.Ps - wish i didn't have any cellutite b*tch! (just kidding)
Skip, Land on your toes and push up with the same.

Calf raises are good at building calf muscles, but calves in general are a hard muscle to build quickly. The high frequency method seems to work for a lot of people. Just do a couple sets of calf raises (go up on your toes and go back down. repeat.) whenever you remember to, maybe 2-4 times a day. Start slow of course, and work your way up. Stretch your calves daily as well, if you try the high frequency method.

do more cruches
You need to increase the amount of crunches that you do every week. Also try adding weight to stomach area while doing sit-ups.
do crunches...body bridges, sit ups, go to your local gym and use machines that work the abs
Try different types of crunches to get the definition you want in your abs.

How do i become motivated to loose weight?please help!?
i want to lose 10 pounds, how do i become motivated and be able to stick to a diet?
Answer:
Do it with a friend. See who can lose it faster(safely of course)
when you find out the "secret" please let me know =) LOL!!
Maybe this will motivate you... people who are overweight can't do the things everyone else can do, like even ride the good roller costers at amusement parks. You will become more and more overweight, you will probably develop arthritis in your knees and ankles, you will probably develop breathing problems like asthma if you dont already have it. You may develop diabetes, you may get high cholesterol, you my have a heart attach or a stroke. You may develop some or all of these problems when you are much too young, and they will lead to other health problems. If these things aren't motivation to lose weight, and if you can't become motivated yourself, nothing will make you motivated. If you do not want to lose weight, nothing you do will help you
Get a poster board and cut out pics from a magazine that show women that are fit that you admire and would like to have a body simular to! Look at that every morning and tell yourself you can do it! Drink lots of water, cut out all junk food! Sometimes people have "buddies" that can motivate but it can also have to oppisite effect as well. Stick to it and count on yourself!
Diets are tough and they can be very depressing because you feel deprived all the time. The best thing to do is to eat a healthy, balanced diet and incorporate exercise into your lifestyle. Try Cardio, Interval Training, Pilates or Yoga and you will be amazed at how much fat you can burn. Exercise not only burns excess fat, but it helps us feel rejuvenated and refreshed. It increases our energy level, reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, strengthens our heart and lungs, eliminates depression, removes aches and pains, increases our immunity and ability to sleep, and reverses the aging process. It's a fabulous way to lose weight!
I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 12 pounds and 17 inches in 9 days and then 28 pounds in about a month. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc鈥? These toxins enter our bodies and get coated with fat. To remove the extra fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and I feel great. My skin has improved as well from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck! http://losebigweight.com

How do i become happier with myself?
well, i am not happy with my weight. i mean everyone is skinnier than i am and this may sound slutty but i dont get any attention from guys. i have been working really hard and i just cant seem to get my weight down so i look attractive in a bikini. can someone please help me!! oh i definately dont want to take pills... i just need to be happier with myself.
Answer:
DONT TAKE PILLS! Whatever you do. I'm happy to see u arent falling into the trap of the diet pills. Let me tell you that you can lose all the weight in the world, and have a supermodel body...and still be unhappy. True happiness is more of a mental thing. It begins within. You have to work on your self worth and know that you mean way more than your jeans size.
In order to be happy with self you need to ACCEPT SELF. I don't understand do you want to lose weight to feel at eaze with yourself? or do you just want to feel good with yourself? because even if your fat you still can feel good about yourself. It is not healthy to be fat but it is healthy to feel good about yourself regardless. You need to learn how to accept yourself and be yourself regardless. You need to be you to be happy! follow your instincts. If you know having a piece of chocolate cake is wrong don't do it. follow your instincts.
You totally sound like me I started to read my Bible and listen in church it helps you and any guy who cares that much about weight should be killed. you sould nice. Pray to God some guy will come along just be yourself. (AND JUST FOR THE RECORD WHAT GIRL DOESN"T WANT THE ATTENTION FROM THE GUYS??!!)
Need a good chrch you can try/call mine:
(734) 697-7150
BereanBaptist and ask for the pastor.
Well you are probably beautiful but your insecurities are holding you back. Confidence is key, and it is very attractive. Have you ever noticed how some guys or women who aren't necessarily that physically attractive seem to get all the attention? Because they are secure about themselves. That bieng said, it's not easy to love yourself. I struggle with this all the time. You need to learn to accept who you are and try to tell yourself positive messages. The more positive you are, the more you'll believe it.
ok well im glad to hear that u are at least trying and wanting to be happy. as long as u have the right motive everything is gonna be alright. i think you should accept yourself the way you are, and if u think of loosing weight, do it for urself not for other people or just to be like the other girls (in a healthy way of course(excercise or healthy food) and just be urself, everyone is unique in their own way, if you are being urself you will find people who match ur characteristics and who will see the goodness in you. no matter what all these skinny girls look like, they are all following one image, and being different wll make you different in beautiful in your own way. keep your head up and don't let anyone bring u down. do what you love and what u feel is right for you, rather than trying to be someone else. im sure there is a lot of special things that u have and many of those girls dont.
you should think of yourself as a good and wealthy man or woman

How Do I Become a Certified Personal Trainer?
I want to get certified as a personal trainer, what do I have to do? How long are the courses? What are the courses? What does it take to get hired at a gym?
Answer:
There's quite a few certifications, but the most recognized two are NASM and ACE certifications. You can even take a course online with NASM.http://www.acefitness.org/http://www.nasm.org/Most gyms will not hire you without a certification (mostly because you can't get insurance without the certification). Bally used to hire personal trainers without certifications if you were in the process of getting one. You do, however, also have to have your CPR certification.http://www.redcross.org/services/hss/...
You need to find a college that offers that degree program and then enroll in that college. If you are still in high school then see your guidance counselor and they can give you info about which colleges offer this degree. If you are already out of school then research it on the web and then start emailing the colleges for their information brochures.
There are diploma programs that range from 6 months all the way up to 2 years available at colleges. However you can also get certified by various personal training schools in much less time.You can get a lightweight certification that will have you working in a gym in three months time. But if you want to make a career out of personal training you should really invest in a program that will adequately prepare you.There is a list of personal training programs at the link below.

How do I acquire a "superhero" physique?
I work out 4 days a week. 3 days I run 20 min treadmill (non-stop, no walking or cheating) and do free weights. I eat OK. Any tips? I wanna get more "cut".
Answer:
u need to be bitten by a spider
How much do you weigh? If you don't have any muscle to begin with, cutting will just make you look scrawny.
lift more weight, push cars. do some boxing, drink protein shakes.
why do you wanna look like a superhero girl really don't like that only the shallow ones that -believe me- are not worth your time?
I eat Mega Mass 4000 right out of the jar.

How do i achieve lighter skin?
I'm filipino and probably a mix of anything else i dont know about. I have medium colored skin. It's not to light, and its not waay dark. Its weird though how my face is lighter than my skin. My face is like light brown while my arms and legs are med. brown. However, my feet is the same color as my face. Is it just tans? If so, how do i get lighter? Are there any products i can purchase [14 years old] that wont cost waaay to much? Also, i'd rather buy them at a store instead of online so if you guys know a store that i can go to that would be very helpful. Especially in the San Jose. So yeah, i'd really appriciate some advice on having lighter skin. Or what i can do to make it lighter. okay, thanks!
Answer:
White people spend a lot of money trying to get darker skin and you've already got it!
There's not a lot you can do when your ethnicity causes you to have naturally darker skin. If you want your skin to appear lighter, go buy a salt scrub and use it in the shower every other day to slough off your dead skin cells, and always wear sunblock, and NEVER go tanning. That's really the best you can do.

How do i accomplish this?
lose weight (fat) without building alot of muscle. i dont like the rock hard look but i dont want to end up flabby. please help.
Answer:
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
Definitely do cardio/aerobics 30 minutes 4-5 times a week. About 3 times a week do stregnth training with light weights, you can get an aerobic DVD that uses weights, 2-5 pounds is just enough to tone your muscles without bulking up.
start sniffing coke
