Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.

It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.

Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc,

You will gain weight in pounds, but its worth it. I just did the same thing, and at first the scale was freaking me out – but after time when my clothes looked better, and I was firmer, I stopped even weighing myself. Best advice is to just get rid of your scale and listen to your body.
Also if you are going to exercise pilates is good for stretching our your muscles and making you appear leaner even if you weigh more. Same with yoga. And be sure to keep up with cardio because no matter how much other exercise you do, the way to see improvements is by getting rid of the layer of flab over top of the muscles, with cardio. best of luck

Yes you will but don’t let that scare you. You will still trim down but what you need to do is get rid of that scale..The scale just likes to scream and yell at you..Use your guide on loosing weight by getting a pair of jeans one size smaller and stay on your diet and workout plan until you get into those jeans.
Even though muscles weights more..its trimmer and leaner than fat so you will scale down.

Okay…I only started two Mondays ago and All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost one pant size and 9 pounds. I am a woman and have three kids and this is the method I use when I gain weight.. I am now at a size two and everyone is always amazed that I have had three kids. This is what I do below when I throw on a few extra pounds. It always works..No diet pills, no energy drinks..just me walking and getting the water I need. Of course I watch what I eat and the Lean Cuisine meals are great for that since the calories per box are 180 to 380 per box. Just make sure you eat healthy every three to four hours so your body will perform at its max.

Here it is:

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) …and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn’t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

you will lose weight because muscle burns fat.i’ve already lost 15 lbs excercising 3-5 times a week. 30 minutes cardio and 15-30 minutes strenght training. at first the weight loss was slow but all of a sudden it came off.and you feel so much better when you excercise too.

Yes muscle does weigh more than fat. But what you weigh is not important at all, what matters is the way you look and feel. Exercising will cut fat without significant muscle growth as long as you don’t lift heavy weights. If you are in poor shape to begin with, which is likely if you do not regularly exercise, than your muscles will become stronger due to use. This will also give you body a more toned appearance, which is usually a good thing. Worry about the results that you see in the mirror, not on the scale.

No….1 pound of muscle=1 pound of fat
I really dont know where that one came from but it makes no sense at all
muscle is more compact than fat and you will therefore be smaller

the number that you get from a scale is inconsequential. it is merely a measure of how hard gravity is pulling down on your mass. you should turn your attention to how you look in the mirror and how you fit into your clothes rather than fixate on this random number. putting on muscle mass does increase this number but will make you appear lean and toned rather than bulky as excess fat would. in addition, the more muscle mass you have the more calories you at rest! this is because unlike fat, muscle cells require massive amounts of calories to maintain themselves.

Muscle does weigh more than fat but you’ll lose weight. You will lose the fat long before you will see any weight gain from muscle. If you are just jogging and doing pilates you probably wont see much weight gain, probably none at all.

building muscle will in fact make you gain weight on the scale- thats why I usually dont use the scale often because its not true to my body frame. but if you look up on yahoo, what fat looks like, and what muscle looks like, muscle is almost 5 times SMALLER than fat. Which means that, the more muscle you gain, the smaller you will look (cut, tone). As well, the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn.

technically, your scale would go up due to muscles, but you’d lose inches off your waist, and any other problem area.
