If you eat fruit breakfast no lunch then healthy dinner will you lose weight?
Simply yes, if you follow a simple metabolic equation. The question you have asked is perhaps not the best way to achieve an answer that can help you lose weight, but, if you use less energy than you consume through food, and eat enough to prevent your body from going into starvation mode, you can eat whenever you want. If you, however, consume more energy/food than you use (healthy or unhealthy), you will store the surplus energy for another day. This is stored as fat. Eating more, smaller meals can improve metabolic efficiency by up to 15%, but this just makes your body more efficient at burning calories. It DOES NOT have to be done to lose weight. If you do not have an understanding of biological metabolic function, I will explain now for you to help understand. The human body requires fuel/energy to grow muscle, reproduce cells, make your heart work etc. This energy comes in food, and is calculated using the measurement of calories. Just to live life in it
Sports supplements are typically nutritionally-rich vitamin tablets consumed for some ergogenic effect. They range from simple Whey Protein to more complex Muscle Accelerators.
What is your basal body temperature?
About 96.8 to 97.2. But I tend to run a little cold compared to the norm.
Basal Body temperature is just another way of saying "Core body temp".
Your alarm goes off in the morning, you're all snug in your bed. Not too hot, not too cold, comfy, cozy, and more importantly your body IS AT REST!!! No motion. You havent stretched, you havent walked, you havent talked, you havent done anything other than open your eyes.
Pop a thermometer in your mouth, hit the snooze button and HOLD STILL.
Do that everyday for a month, average out your results, and THAT is your core or basal body temp! :)
The range of what is 'normal' is big. I am told that 96 is normal, while the text books all say that every man woman and child on the face of the planet should have exactly the same body temp of 98.7.
That's just not possible! That's like saying every male aged 42 should be 6'1".
Pretty much anything from 95.5 to 99.3 is not going to your Dr.s attention.
If you sustain a 99.3 they might check into it after a month (or three) just to make sure that is your personal "norm".
How long does it take to notice weight loss after becoming anorexic?
I`ve heard that anorexics don't even notice that they are that thin. Im not sure if that's true or not. But as for another person to notice a weight loss on an anorexic persons body wouldn't take very long.
How do you lose fat from the upper sides of your thighs?
This is one of the most difficult places for a woman to lose fat. Short of liposuction all you can do is lose weight generally and tone up the muscles. Dress to minimise this area. On the plus side, women who carry their fat on their hips and thighs (pear shaped) tend to be healthier than those of us who carry it round our waists (apple shaped).
Whats the best exercise to lose weight and gain more muscle?
Its not a question of the best exercise, but a combination of both diet and a good exercise plan. Your going to need to collect some information before starting. If possible check with a local fitness center or maybe the YMCA/YWCA for some appropriate advise on how to get started. Start off slow with the exercising and then build up. Too much too soon and you could start tearing muscle and hurting yourself. Make sure you get a recommendation for a good protein shake. You cannot build muscle without the appropriate intake of protein.
You can also take creatine, and powdered Glutamine as other supplements. Your diet will be extremely important, but yet you do not have to starve yourself. For example, eating five or six small meals with the right food is better than eating one or two big meals per day. Do not put all your attention on what the scale says, but see what the mirror says. Do not get discouraged but persevere and within a few months you will notice a big difference, and so will others.

Why is oxygen consumption lower for walking than running?
Running causes the body to produce more blood to make oxygen to obtain stamina while walking is a low energy exercise and the build up of more blood to produce oxygen is slower.

How long are you supposed to exercise?
It depends a lot on your lifestyle. Some people naturally have an active lifestyle. (Walking instead of always driving, for example.) But most people should have about 30 minutes to an hour of exercise a day, as a minimum.
In 1 day you should have 30minutes - 1hour of exercise!
What exercises help you lose weight quickly?
Crunches and running/jogging have always helped when I want to lose a few.
skipping fast is meant to burn a lot of caliries
Exercising every day and healthy eating is the best way.
At least 60 minuets of activity. there is no real fast way, but there are a few things to help.
1- Twists waist and hips. these help tone and develop a better defined figure.
2- Crunches of any type. will help tone your abs
3- Cardio. Jogging, skipping and whatnot. burn the calories you would usually store
And remember to drink lots, it re- hydrates you and makes you feel fuller for longer.
Can you make your breasts smaller without surgery?
The only way you will get smaller breasts is by doinf cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise andlosing weight generally. the breasts are composed mainluy of fat, so losing weight means you will lose fat off your breasts. Unfortunately you cannot turn big 36DD to perky 34C. Only by losing weight generally as they are mostly composed of fat. Unfortunately they then lose firmness too. A 'minimiser' bra can help. If they are extremely large and causing mental and/or physical distress you may find that insurance covers a reduction. not that i have ever heard of!
How many sit ups to get a six pack?
This is like asking how many pounds do 8-year-olds weigh. If you are looking to slim your waist line, doing sit-ups will not necessarily help. There is no such thing as "spot fat" reduction. If you wanted the back of your upper arm to be thinner and more cut, doing arm extension all day will not help. You must lose total body fat in order to slim your waist line.
In fact, doing crunches, over and over, will cause your upper thighs to become stronger and tighter causing there to be a pull that draws you forward. Because the natural occurrence for your body is to be up-right, so now your back has to work over time to fight against the tightness in your thighs which will lead to low back pain.
So, the answer is none. If you want to strengthen your abdominal muscles with one exercise and get the most out of it, I recommend doing lying bicycles. See Related Links.
tell me how it goes or if this helped
How much weight can you lose doing crunches everyday?
Not much burning of body fat or weight loss will occur by just doing 150 crunches per day. Reducing your calorie intake, moderately lifting weights in order to increase your metabolism, and participating in some regular cardiovascular exercise, will be more beneficial to weight loss than those 150 daily crunches. You will only see abdominal toning once some of the fatty abdominal layer has been burned- no matter how many crunches you do.
Should junk food be banned in all schools?
Isn't that a sad statement when we (again) feel the need to steal another bit of fun from children?
Parents appear to have lost their minds in some matters. They had hamburgers, cheeseburgers and all sorts of junk food when they went to school. Now it is too dangerous for their kids?
We have banned cruising, a past time they enjoyed. We put silly helmets on them when they ride bikes. Then complain when they would rather watch tv.
Sad when adults can't think.
Can you work out 4 months during pregnancy?
Yes if you have a normal healthy pregnancy. Just no heavy lifting. Exercise and workout is good for you when pregnant. You feel your limits.
How much exercise do you have to do to burn 550 calories?
Depends on your gender, age, fitness level, and how hard you hit it.
Me, I can go through 800 cals in about one hour, running, cycling, skating, or on a cross trainer, or skiing, among others.
But a more average value would be to use up around 600 cals/hour while working out hard.
Do you burn fat while excerising?
anything burns calories. even sitting and standing. so i guess yes...
Is there any fat inside the stomach?
Yes but not all of it but some fats are good for you- Brogan Caffarelli
How do you lose fat from your stomach thighs and love handles without looking muscular?
- CARDIO exercise. You can lift weights for hours, but to lose the fat on top of the muscle run, powerwalk, brisk walk, do aerobics, dance, etc. anything to make you sweat.
- Eliminate, or seriously restrict, refined (processed) carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates are a major cause of body fat accumulation around the abdomen. Our bodies were not designed to cope with them. Add to that, cardio exercise plus 'fat burning' foods.
- Also, pilates helps a lot for long lean feminine looking muscles and losing weight. Although the equipment can be expensive, look up some exercises for areas you want to trim and a lot of them either don't need equipment or equipment can be easily substituted. For instance, the one pound 'pilates weight ball' workout could be done with a one pound weight. It's all about little exercises that don't seem trying at first, but believe me, by the time you're done, you're sore.
- Cardio Exercises + Abdominal Exercises + Your customized diet will give you the perfect results for your problem. If you can't do exercises, try dancing, swimming, sports etc.
- For more information about 'fat burning' foods and how to use them, or to learn how to do cardio exercise, or for a list of refined processed carbohydrates, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

If you do 200 sit ups twice a day will your stomach get flatter?
Extremely unlikely because abs are only visible when you're bodyfatpercentage is low enough for the muscle to be seen , and situps are one of the least effective exercises for your abs , try doing crunches and any exercise with a twist on the crunch
and don't do hundreds every day because your abs are just like any muscle , they do not grow if you do hundreds of reps every day just like your chest wont grow if you do that
I suggest you do a hardcore ab workout 2-3 times a week together with a healthy diet and exercise routine
How does exercise help you lose mass?
It helps make the fat cells shrink, and as you can not get rid of fat cells (they can only grow or shrink) it helps make them get smaller when you exercise.
Doing daily exercise can also help build up the muscles and lose calories. When calories are burned, weight can be lost.
25 Kilos in less than six weeks is quite a high amount to aim for and may not be attainable. Your best bet is to follow a juice detox diet. Buy a book that has a variety of juicing recipes and follow the diet for 30 days, gradually re-introduce 'solid' food to your diet over the remaining two week period starting with soups and building your way up to chicken and veg. Another option would be to follow a raw food diet. Those that stick to a raw food diet not only see rapid weight loss but they also feel much healthier in general. Make sure you engage yourself in 30 minutes of cardio a day, i.e running, aerobics, kick boxing.
