For the body to lose fat or muscles you will need to consume less energy than the body uses. To lose water you will need to drink less, eat less salt and carbohydrates (DEHYDRATION IS DANGEROUS AND A BAD WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT).
To gain muscles you will have to damage muscle fibers which will cause the body to overcompensate for that injury when healing it. This will increase the size of the muscle. But this won't happen if you Supply your body with less energy than it needs or deprives it of sleep.
Running everyday may cause weight loss and muscle gain.
Yes, running can help you lose weight. I don't recommend doing it everyday. Running is a cardio vascular exercise, and your body requires more than one day to restore itself. If you run everyday, you will most likely become very tired and weak. Why does running help you lose weight? It makes your metabolism work harder (and your metabolism is how fast you convert food into energy). So if your metabolism becomes faster because of the running, you will burn more calories.
Yes you should :)
But its even more important to get your eating under control. If you're overeating it's almost possible to exercise hard enough and long enough t6o lose any weight that way. Something that takes minutes to eat can take an hour to burn off.
Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.
Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.
Note that exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want to slim down, the fat has to be burned off. For that, the main thing is to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient.
Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:
Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise, no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 not-large meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.
Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.
Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.
More guidelines:
Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.
Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).
This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.
In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.
Yes. But it's important to ditch the junk food and junk beverages.
Yes
you'd lose no weight.
run a mile every day
Walking a half mile is a great "little boost," but you're not going to lose any weight. Your weight, height, gender, exercise level and caloric intake are huge factors. If you walk a half mile to Dairy Queen...I mean, come on...no weight loss. If you factor in a half a mile a day with proper diet and (additional exercise) you will lose weight....slowly. Good luck.
There are many people that can lose a pound of weight every day but it is not healthy to do so. Losing one to two pounds a week is a good amount to lose.
Yes if you use it every day but you can gain some to in the way of muscle it will help you lose fat.
Eating only vegetables every day will most likely cause you to lose weight. However, it won't give you all the nutrients you need such as protein and calcium.
If the calories you burn exceed the calories you take in, you will lose fat. A mile a week is insufficient You'll lose a little, if you could run a mile more often like every day though, you should see some visible results ina week or so.
You can lose weight by drinking water each day. You should drink half of your body weight in ounces every day. If you drink 130 ounces per day, you will stay hydrated.
Depends on your calorie intake. You have to burn more calories than you consume to lose weight. 1 lb is approximately 3500 calories.
12,000 steps is an average of 6 miles, depending on your stride length. For every 2000 steps (mile) you burn approximately 100 calories. This answer depends on how many steps you were taking before you wanted to lose weight. (If you were already walking 10,000 steps a day you'll only burn 100 extra calories a day and it will take you a month to lose one pound). If you are walking 12,000 extra steps per day, you will burn an extra 600 calories per day and lose a pound about every 6 days.
