If you weigh 220 and you're 20 years old what's the best way to lose weight?

Answer 1

Sign up for a good gym, and go as often as you can! When you don't go to the gym you can jog or walk down the street. Also, have a healthier diet. Cut down on sugar, salt, and unnecessary carbohydrates. Add more grains, fruits, vegetables, and proteins like meat.

Answer 2

First, let's take it as a given that, in the long run, diets don't work. To lose weight, you must do some form of aerobic (cardio) exercise. Road cycling is one of the best ways.

• It is sustainable for long periods of time, so you can burn lots of calories every week.
• It is zero-impact, so it's easier on the joints than running.
• You get to see lots of scenery and visit places you wouldn't otherwise think of.
• It's fun in groups, but you can also do it solo.
• You don't have to pay a monthly membership fee.

The negatives are:

• Winter. This forces most people onto an indoor trainer for a few months, which is not a whole lot of fun.
• It's not a balanced workout. You still need to do exercises to strengthen core and upper body. That's not a consideration for weight-loss, but once you're down to your proper body mass, you will want to be fit, both for looks and to help avoid injury.
