Healthy Work Out/Meal Plans (help?)

~

 

Exercises and diets completely depend on which area of your body you want to focus on
YouTube has a ton of tutorials and exercise videos which can help you achieve the above
Good luck anyway

 

The areas I want to focus on can be improved with full-body workouts, since losing overall body fat will slim them. I've been looking on YouTube and I've found a few routines, but finding meal plans is a bit harder it seems like :/

thank you :)

 

After any form of exercise, don't eat carbs for the rest of the day, but rather eat proteins. Eating carbs actually makes it worse off for your body, as it absorbs all of the carbohydrates. Also, before and after working out, take time to stretch your body, preferably for ten minutes.

 

okay, thanks for the advice :D

Almost everyone I've seen talk about it specifically said not to focus on calories so much, because it can become addictive, therefore an unhealthy habit is formed. I also want to exercise for the other benefits of it as well, not just weight loss. It sucks because so many sources I've found have told me different things, that's why I made this

thank you for the help :)

 

The best and most valuable source is your local nutritionist (if you can afford it) or even ask a gym trainer, they know

 

I was referring mostly to people on YouTube saying that it isn't healthy to pay that close attention to calories, not trying to sell or recommend anything other than exercise and a good diet plan. Plenty of "anorexia stories" on YouTube claim that a huge cause of their eating disorder was paying too much attention to calories, and eventually becoming obsessed with how many of them there were in every single thing they ate. It usually ends with them saying that you shouldn't focus much on calories at all. I understand what you're saying though, and you're right. The key to losing weight is burning more calories than you consume. It's good in moderation, so I will pay closer attention to how many calories I'm consuming in contrast to how many I burn. Thank you so much for your help :D

I'm not in the best financial situation right now, but yeah I'll definitely see who I can talk to. Thanks :)

 

This is where a calorie count book is helpful. You should eat normally for a day and count how many calories you consumed. From that point you aim to decrease your daily intake to a good standard.
Of course, there are many things people forget to consider:

• You should use an online calculator or see a doctor about how many calories you must consume to have enough energy to get through the day. It depends on your age, height and weight. Where applicable, your genes may be considered such as your ancestors having heart problems or diabetes.
• Make sure to test your stength and not just your cardio. Many lose a heap of weight but look floppy because they aren't toned.
• Drink water. DRINK HEAPS OF WATER. This is a number one priority. It cleanses and helps your systems flow.
• if anything, just cut down the serving sizes of your meals. There are many useful images online that represent what and how much should be on your plate.
• Try not to eat too much bread. If you want to be the healthiest when eating bread, whole meal is the deal breaker. White bread is the killer for hips and thighs.
• Maybe change the milk you drink. Skim may settle better in your digestive system. It depends on the person.
• SLEEP

In summary, exercise is half of what makes you healthy. The other half is your diet and daily sctivity(sitting down all day isn't good. You should get up and walk around at least every hour. Also make sure you get enough sleep.)

 

If you do 1000 abs crutches all in one of course they won't give you a slimmer waist. It takes time and patience in order to create the body you want. I dont really agree with all the "count your calories" because if you eat for example a big ice cream or even a few pieces of a chocolate cake and then eat nothing for the rest of the day then
1st you basically have all the calories you need in a day
2nd you wont achieve anything
Diets arent that good either. They can destroy your stomach (exactly what happened to my dad when his nutritionist gave him a fairly strict diet).
Exercising is more of a body shaper. There are exercises for e v e r y t h I n g. If you want to get slimmer and healthier then it's best to be decently active and eating a logical and healthy, in a sense, amount of food. And also exercise cant "destroy your body" if you do it right.
Cross fit is also the worst type of exercise imo
Oh and everyone has a different body. If I eat twinkies and junk food like the professor I will get more fat than I usually do. Find what's best for you body and not what looks best in your eyes.

 

A friend I have ate only ice cream for a whole summer and she ended up losing 14kg and she almost turned into an anorexic person. It's the worst thing to do honestly and no one should promote that kind of life style. It can lead to horrible consequences. Balanced diets are more suitable in this case. Sure if your goal is to build muscle then you need to consume more calories.

That's why I said it's a body shaper. I didn't say it makes you slimmer, it just makes you stronger and healthier looking :)

 

Idk if this helps but I managed to lose a little weight (just like 4 pounds or so) when I visited the Netherlands.
I assume it's because I simply cut out a lot of bad sugar during my stay in that country and also the fact that there was A LOT of a walking and biking. Any of the food I took in was burned out immediately along with a little extra.
Sadly, now that I've returned to America, I gained it back :( I don't necessarily need to lose weight, but I did feel much more positive about my body when I did.

Maybe the answer is to move to a another country lol.

 

thanks everyone
