Question 2

i'm bicycling to try and lose weight. how much do i need to ride 3 days a week to lose 1-2 lbs a week. also, i'm 42 yrs old.

Accepted Answer

The Best Exercise: You need a minimum of 20 minutes per episode of exercise three to five times per week.  This exercise should also be of moderate intensity: i.e. A heart rate of no more than 130 bpm.  You should be able to still speak in full sentences when you exercise. This allows you to burn sugars and fats...The things you need to burn to lose weight.

Question 3

what happens if i ride a stationary bike everyday will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

That depends: If you burn more calories then you consume - then you should be able to lose weight.

Question 4

can you tell me if i ride a stationary bike everyday will i lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Very likely: If you ride the bike for 30min daily at a level that elevates your heart rate and keep your eating stable, you should lose weight.  This loss will increase if you cut,out foods that are not healthy without restriction.  An increased time riding would also burn more calories.  Healthy weight loss involves slowly changing habits and maintaining the changes.  Losing should be from 1/2 to 2lbs weekly

Question 5

i ride horses so i get a good amount of exercise but what's a quick way to lose weight in a month?

Accepted Answer

Losing weight: To lose weight, get ur resting metabolism rate done(weight loss centers do this). This determines the total number of calories you need to lose 1-2lbs/week. Decreasing 500cal/day will give you a 1lb wt loss in 1wk; drink water (1/2 your body weight), eat small meals about 150-200cal 2-4x/(depending on your metabolism rate) and 500cal/meal at night: lean protein/veggies; avoid carbs, .

Question 6

i want to ask about cellulite how i can get ride of it ?
and if i want lose weight but for lower body how can i?

Accepted Answer

Exercise : The best way to get rid of cellulite and firm up is to exercise and build muscle with some weight lifting as well.  You should also follow a low fat diet that is low is sugar but with plenty of protein to help with muscle building.

im trying to lose weight. light workouts diet change. i now stop eating at about 530 but i go to bed relatively late. midnight at the earliest. i get very hungry towards the end of the day. but i think its just from the change. or is 5 too early?

Accepted Answer

: Exercise and reduction in intake of food are essential for losing weight. Being hungry is unpleasant but it suggests that you are doing it right. It is good to not eat after 5 pm.
Wish you good health!

Question 8

how to lose weight when on complete bed rest after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Isometric exercise: Same principles apply for weight loss, burn more calories than you take in. It seems more difficult when you are on bed rest, however isometric exercising can be done anywhere and in most positions. While on bedrest get lots of hydration, take your vitamins and restrict your calories. Be well.

Question 9

i'd just started drinking 2 liters of water a day and not eating after 8 pm cause i go to bed at 10, can i lose weight like that?

Accepted Answer

Yes: However, you must reduce your daily calorie intake and exercise regularly as well.

Question 10

im trying to lose a few pounds. ive been eating 1,300 calories a day but do have to eat dinner late before bed due to work. i usually eat a baked potato with rice. could eating hate be causing not to lose weight? ive been trying for few weeks?

Accepted Answer

: A successful weight loss program depends on both what you eat and how your body responds. I would never consider a baked potato and rice a worthy diet program. A potato and rice are predominately carbohydrates and provide little in the way of protein needed for body maintenance. Carbs are quicky converted to sugar and either used or stored. Please consult your doc/and a dietitian for a proper diet
