I need to lose 15-20 pounds? any tips or advice?

i definitely just gained about 5 pounds this last week alone





im probably around 135 pounds right now





i really need to be at 115





i am tall, and this weight will seem very unhealthy, but im also a ballerina, im not supposed to be ';average'; im SUPPOSED to be ';SKINNY'; so i can be lifted and so certain things wont be so difficult when im dancing





anyway, if someone could just give me a little plan on how to go about losing the extra baggage, i'd greatly appreciate it





i only dance 2-3 days a week, i dont perform anymore (because of my weight, i have to lose weight to be even allowed to audition)





and im not really supposed to run or do gym things because it works against the ballet training





all i can really do is swim and dance and play DDR





about how long / often should i exercise?


what should i be eating (keep in mind there is crappy college food here)





PPLEASEEE help =D





thank you thank youI need to lose 15-20 pounds? any tips or advice?
can you walk? walking is a great way to lose weight. if not, then swim regularly several times a week.


also give up any and all junk food and snacks if possible. going vegetarian would be good too.I need to lose 15-20 pounds? any tips or advice?
try to have a strict diet with fiber and grains with natural fruit juices and complex carbohydrates exercise everyday for an hour and maybe try yoga it may make you lose weight and be confident hoped i helped


also eat small portions every other hours to keep you from getting hungry , hungry means more eating and no fats fast food or try less fried foods
try this maybe help you http://www.shopherbalife.com/?dsext=aldo鈥?/a> good luck
Eat oatmeal or millet for breakfast, one teaspoon of sugar if necessary.


Salad, or beans and corn on a tortilla for lunch.


Soup, or some fruit and protein for dinner.





Low calorie is key, with lots of water, It doesn't really matter what you eat as long as you don't over consume calories. But something like chocolate is more calorie dense rather than fruit or veggies. So you could eat a crap load of fruit and veggies and be full with little calories. Or a candy bar and still be hungry.


Also find a workout video... do some workout everyday!


MUCH LUCK!

I lost 33 pounds with a diet that involves increased levels of protein and fiber and an natural weight loss supplement called Hoodia. Back in 04 I had to have back surgery and was laying on my back for 22 months recovering and I got a little fat in the process. I couldn;t take one more day of looking in the mirror and seeing a fat *** staring back and I decided to do something about it. My buddy mark is kind of a fitness nut and I asked him what he suggested. He told me he had heard good things about hoodia. If you've never heard of it, (I hadn't either) Hoodia is an all natural herbal supplement that was used initially in South Africa by the native tribes there when they'd go hunting and such because they couldn't carry a lot of food and supplies and because it pretty much eliminated hunger and appetite. I research it and found out that a company called Desert Burn had the best brand out there. I got some and literally the first day I forgot to eat, plus that light headed feeling you get when dieting and that weakness didn;t occur when I took it either. I have kept my weight off for over three years now and I swear by the stuff. If you'd like GOOGLE: online health desert burn hoodia ; Only 100% hoodia gordonii is the oone that works and Desert Burn is that kind. All my best to you and good luck.
Here's my diet and exercise guide, I really recommend you tke control of what you put in your body, and if the food available is crappy, take your own lunch.





Weight loss is all about this equation: energy taken in-energy used (energy for maintaining weight+energy burned in activity)





The basic equation to approximate maintenance needs is:





Maintenance=body weight in poundsx12


This is an estimate, and you may gain/lose according to difference in metabolism/activity level, weight you have to lose, genetic factors.





Conversion of weights: 300lbs:136kg:21stone or 1stone=14lbs, 1kg=2.2lbs





If you follow the maintenance and still gain/lose adjust by 250-500cals, monitoring weight after a week for reliability. Once you have a reasonable estimate, you want to lose weight healthily, otherwise, besides compromising health, your body realises what鈥檚 happening and thinks it鈥檚 being starved to death and will resist your efforts by slowing metabolism. When you do eat, it will then use this opportunity to regain as much fat as possible, perhaps more than before. It鈥檚 also important to realise most weight loss in the first week is mainly water, which easily comes back when eating normalises, as water is stored in the body with energy stores.





The guideline for healthy loss, is 1-2lbs a week. This correlates to 3500-7000cals per week, or 500-1000cals less per day than maintenance.





Example: 200lbs person, maintenance= 200x12=2400cals a day


2lbs loss a week=7000cals a week or 1000cals less a day


2400-1000= 1400cals a day produces 2lbs a week loss.





When weight loss stops, you can increase activity and/or decrease cals further by 250-500cals per day.





Diet wise, fruits, veg, grains, brown bread and wholewheat pasta, good fats from extra virgin olive oil, oily fish like salmon, mackerel,fresh not tinned tuna, kippers. Lean sources protein like skinless poultry,lean cuts red meat, eggs, skim milk. At least 2litres or 8pints of water daily is recommended, more if exercising/in hot weather. You鈥檒l need to look at everything you eat, not just the writing advertising the product, but the real information they hide on the back with the calories,carbs,protein,fat and salt. Eventually, you鈥檒l get an idea for the energy in foods, and you won鈥檛 always need to check. One thing to watch out for considering salt intake should be under5g, 1g sodium is 3-4g salt. Most of us eat 6-15g or more salt a day, the only way to cut this enough is to stop eating the premade, prepackaged ready meals and sauces.





Exercise wise, gym training with weights is very beneficial bringing many more health improvements beyond cardio. Resistance training means you don鈥檛 just shrink from a pear/apple shape to a smaller pear/apple, but you actually shape your body at the same time. You won鈥檛 bulk up or become huge, the freaks you see take drugs and have done it for decades. Men have the advantage of testosterone but they still have to work for it, women build muscle much less because they have much smaller amounts of testosterone (except for the ones taking drugs). Resistance training strengthens immune system, boosts metabolism better than cardio (3days vs 30mins-1hr), boosts metabolism longterm and while asleep due to better active tissue in the body, improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, improves digestion, and the list goes on. Cardio is also fine every now and then. Running/jogging on a treadmill is the quickest and easiest way to burn energy as you use bodyweight for resistance, and the treadmill is better on the knees than the ground. I recommend joining a website forum for fitness/training/bodybuilding/powerlifti鈥?you don鈥檛 need to be or want to be a bodybuilder/powerlifter or a pro althlete, but you will need to follow similar diets and exercise plans to achieve good results, and the members have years of experience, offering great advice with nutrition plans and exercise routines. Aim your goals high and you鈥檒l achieve the results you鈥檙e after that much sooner.
