i weigh 360 and i wanna lose weight but i wanna start slow . what should i try or do to lose weight?

Question

If you're significantly overweight is it ok to lose weight quickly (like a low carb) or should you try for the conventional 1-2 pounds a week. I am 5'0 and weigh 254 pounds. I'm fortunant to not have any medical problems and I go regularly for physicals

Answer 1

Eat less & exercise: The key to losing weight is to eat less, but not all calories are created equal. Sugars & simple carbs from grains esp cause weight gain. I like dr. Furhman's diet: www.Drfuhrman.Com/library/foodpyramid.Aspx dr. Weil has useful info: www.Huffingtonpost.Com/andrew-weil-md/carbohydrates-weight-loss_b_1937312.Html- see his "discuss that" link in his article. Exercise is also important. Good luck!

Answer 2

Research shows......: A research study was done on ddr and other dance "games" including dance factory. Unfortunately, even 30 min, non-stop, every day did not show a health benefit after 6 straight week. Exercises like treadmill, bike and elliptical all showed significant benefits in fitness. Sad, but true.

Answer 3

Possibly DANGEROUS: S cordifolia contains Ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) & pseudoephedrine. Both are stimulants like Cocaine or amphetamine. Ephedrine (ephedrine sulfate) has been banned in the us because it can cause cardiac or seizure problems. Pseudoephedrine is still sold otc in us but is a major component in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine. Please consult with your doctor before using the extracts from this dangerous weed.

Answer 4

Low carb diet: I've found a low carb (no starch or sugar) ketogenic diet containing about 60+ grams is protein and below 40 grams of carbohydrate along with mild exercise the most effective for weight, fat and girth loss. If you get in mild ketosis which is fat burning state your hunger level will be very little.

Answer 5

Diet & exercise: Make sure you exercise at least 90 minutes a day, don't skip meals, avoid soda, juice, dairy, alcohol and fried foods. Eat a healthy well balanced diet! also water, organic vegetable broth, green leafy vegetables, natural pickles, apples are great to fill you up so you dont feel hungry and they are very low in calories.

Answer 6

Please don't do it: You can not only lose weight, you can ruin your health. This would be an extreme vegetarian diet and without supplementing, you'll become iron and b-12 deficient and probably also deplete yourself of calcium, vitamin d (unless you get plenty of sun exposure), iodine and some other essential nutrients. Why not hang out at the gym with friends who would get you into a fitness lifestyle instead?

Answer 7

Not too fast: Eat healthfully ; be physically active. Calories burned must > calories consumed. You can mix ; match different kinds of physical exercise. This site can help you determined calories burned for over 100 activities: http://www.Prohealth.Com/weightloss/tools/exercise/calculator1_2.Cfm.
