What is a good way to lose weight if you are 164.5 pound girl and is 5'7 tall i want to weigh at least 135 by the end of summer how can i do that please help me?

Diet and exercise. It's far easier to loose weight if you avoid sugars and starches. When starch is digested, the body turns it to sugar in the bloodstream. Sugar causes an insulin spike which lowers blood sugar, making you very hungry withing an hour or two. There have been some interesting studies that indicate that avoiding sugar altogether can help you control your appetite far better. Diet should remain low sugar/starch, eat plenty of veggies and low fat protein, mainly fish & chicken or turkey and drink a lot of water. Don't necessarily count calories, but do lower fats and sugars. Exercise should be at least 30 to 45 minutes per day, three days per week AT LEAST. Jog, cycle, play raquetball, tennis or whatever it takes to work up a good sweat and get your blood pumping. Make sure you don't get out of breath, but exercise just up to that point. Remember that muscles burn fat, so you don't want to diet to the point that you start loosing muscle. You also want to keep the protein level up enough that your body doesn't rob muscle to get the protein it needs to make repairs. It turns out that a diet that is TOO low in calories/protein can end up making you loose weight more slowly and since muscle mass is lost during hte process, you are almost certain to gain the weight back. The good news is, at your age, if your health is normal, you should be able to loose weight without too much difficulty. But learn to be a label reader. Sugar and starch is hidden in places you wouldn't expect.

How many calories would you burn walking for 1 min?

It depends on your speed & your weight. If you walk at a distance of 1.4 ft per second brisk pace or 4.2 km/hr, you would burn about 218 calories in 24 minutes or 354 calories by walking a total of 1 km. Good luck in your exercise.

SHOULD you Drink creatine before or after your workout?

Before and After...is the answer I have gotten from the majority of the trainers I have asked. I know that everyone has different opinions, but it makes sense to me. You want the creatine boost before your workout to give you an edge. And, after your workout, while your muscles are starved. I have always taken 1/2 the daily dose before, and the other 1/2 immediately after, and seen great results.

Purging can cause weight loss?

Purging is not a healthy process. In involves forcing your body to regurgitate your food from your body. When this happens, your stomach acids will be introduced into your esophogus. The more you purge, the more acid will follow. Eventually, the acid will have destroyed your esophogus and you'll be in a LOT of medical trouble. ...but yes... you can lose weight.

Calories burned walking a golf course?

The related link connects to a page that estimates calorie consumption by weight. I would say you should count what you are carrying -- if you carry a 20 lb bag, include that in the estimated weight. If you pull a trolley, that doesn't count. My guess is 9 holes is about 2 miles. It's usually about 3000 yds of play, with some extras thrown in, and it's 1700 yds /mile. So a 200 lb player carrying a 20 lb bag would burn about 130 cal/mile, or 260 for the whole trip.

How many calories are burned by walking 6 km?

Bones involved when kicking a football?

All of them.

Kicking a football is a very complex act using both legs, the hips, spine, shoulders, both arms and the head. Even the tiny bones in the ear hear the thud as your foot connects and you can immediately tell if it was a sweet kick on the perfect spot or a bad one.

weight is what you lose. mass is the amount of space an object takes up. when you lose weight your gravitational force is decreased but your mass stays the same.. dont listen to people that say mass and weight are the same thing, because they are not.

To lose 15 pounds in 1 month about 4 pounds a week how can you do that?

Snack every 3 hours on protein (it feeds muscles and will therefore speed up your metabolism which will burn fat faster). At meals, with every vegetable serve have protein too. Drink 4+ litres of water a day, as it is suspected to speed the metabolism slightly and also cleanses your insides. I suggest taking metamucil or a fibre supplement to get rid of any toxins/waste.

Weight train 3-4 times a week (this tones muscles which burn fat and will not make you look muscly- just toned- unless you're a male), do cardio such as bike riding, walking/running and develop a daily routine such as the stairs instead of the escalator or lift.

You could have one 'free day' and eat whatever you want, but you must get back to eating healthily the next day.

This has helped me lose 10kg in about two months, which I believe is the equivalent to 22 pounds. It is a healthy choice and something that is easy to follow. !

What are some exercises a person who is trying to lose weight should do?

The best way to lose weight is through cardio exercisessuch as brisk walking, running or jogging. (See the related questions, further down this page, listed under Related Questions, for in-depth information. If you're just starting then what you'll want to do is walk regularly increasing the amount of time on your feet each time. Start with 10-15 minutes and then work up. Slowly but surely you should be able to add in a few minutes of jogging throughout your walk and in no time you should be feeling better with more energy and have a nice clear mind. Exercise is proven to help you cope with stress as well as give you a happy state of mind. One very very important thing that many people forget is to eat healthy. And that is not eating granola bars and fruit juice. Sure those things can be healthy, but they contain immense amounts of sugar. The key to losing weight is to cut back on junk foods like burgers, hot dogs and the fried items like potato wedges, fried chicken etc and all those little yummy treats that a lot of people like. But most of these items contain a lot of fat and do no good for people who are trying to lose weight.

The best thing to drink when you're exercising is water & when you get back from walking or jogging is have some vegetables and foods that are high in protein. Something that is absolutely excellent for you is yerba mate. It is a south American green tea that gives you energy. It is loaded in vitamins and antioxidants and actually has more than green tea believe it or not. It has no caffeine and does not give you the side affects of coffee. Yoga also is known to help people lose weight.

Some simple things you can do to lose weight at home is, to clean up your garden, pull off all the weeds, run the lawn mower yourself, water the plants yourself, clean/wash your car yourself, walk to the grocery store etc... But, the main thing is, have a active lifestyle and eat healthy. These are two things that can help you lose weight. For in depth information about the best exercises for weight loss, see the related questions further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Do you lose weight by eating frosted mini wheats?

No! Don't do that because you'll just gain weight by starving yourself. But yeah its good to eat about 1 and a half cups of whole grain cereal every morning. Talk to your doctor to get a diet plan created just for you based on your weight and eating habits.

Which metabolic process is responsible for the muscle fatigue and cramping an athlete may experience after running a race?

Muscle ache, burning, rapid breathing, nausea, stomach pain is caused by a build up of lactic acid. If you've experienced the unpleasant feeling of lactic acidosis, you likely remember it. It's temporary. It happens when too much acid builds up in your bloodstream. The most common reason it happens is intense exercise.

The symptoms include a burning feeling in your muscles, cramps, nausea , weakness, and the
feeling that you are exhausted. It's your body's way to tell you to stop what you're doing.

The soreness you sometimes feel in your muscles a day or two after an intense workout
isn't from lactic acidosis. It's your muscles recovering from the workout you gave them.
When you exercise, your body uses oxygen to break down glucose for energy.

During intense exercise, there may not be enough oxygen available to complete the process,
so a substance called lactate is made. Your body can convert this lactate to energy without using oxygen.
But this lactate or lactic acid can build up in your bloodstream faster than you can burn it off.
The point when lactic acid starts to build up is called the "lactate threshold."

How long does it take a 12-year-old to lose weight?

Diet and exercise are both good ways to lose weight, but something like crunches probably aren't the best idea to lose weight without some type of cardio. If you just want to lose weight, I would suggest at least 10 or 15 minutes of cardio exercise a day, whether it be running, doing jumping jacks, whatever.. As long as it gets your heart pumping. In the lines of crunches, if you are specifically trying to target your stomach and midsection, do as many crunches as you can until it starts to burn, and then do about half as many more. If you don't feel the burn, you're not helping yourself any (no pain, no gain - right?). Don't just do straight crunches, either, try situps, and even pushups if possible to work more of your torso. Every person is different, so I can't say whether or not crunches will even help, at 12, your body may not be ready for muscle development, so you won't have a 6 pack, but anything that burns calories will help you lose weight. Just eat healthy, and do a good amount of cardio. Try doing some crunches before AND after as a warm up and a cool down. Oh and don't forget to stretch! It sounds silly, but you will be happy in the morning when you aren't half as sore as you could have been!

What should you do if you work out and eat healthy but still can't lose weight?

Weight is not the enemy, fat is. Your weight may be staying the same, but you are probably replacing fat with muscle. Muscle is more dense than fat. A pound of fat takes up more space than a pound of muscle. Keep excersizing and eating right and you will be in shape.

What happens if you don't treat your shin splints?

Shin splints; I'm assuming your referring to the painful yet common phenomena occurring during or immediately after intense exercise affecting the muscles in the front of your lower legs. typically most athletes "walk it off" doing this simply allows the muscles to relax a bit while keeping them mobile. If adequate stretching does not occur then the muscle does not relax and a pulled muscle can become more likely. It can also lead to cramping in that region of your anatomy. cramping is typically a culmination of excess exercise, improper cool down, improper stretching (pre and post exercise ) and lack of proper hydration. I suppose the short answer is more pain than if you do treat them.

What are some good ways of exercising to lose body fat?

definitely cardio. if you can, go to the gym in the morning before you eat and you will burn more fat. it's hard but just drink alot of water and eat a small meal afterwords and you will burn lots more fat. also, when you finish cardio do ab crunches. for cardio i would recommend the elliptical thing, try keeping your heart rate at 160+. or you could run if that's your thing. Or walk on the treadmill on like 3.8mph with an incline of 6.5 or 7. this is what i do and i weigh 129 pounds, I'm 16 and im 5'9

Why do people lose inches but not weight?

We have all been there. I was over weight and I starved myself. But i would not recomend it! Yes you do lose weight eating nothing. But you dont know hunger pains until you don't eat. Not eating for me is so terrible, i felt like i was going to faint all day. You don't want that. When I starved myself I lost 3 kg in one week, which is UNHEALTHY. You lose weight all through your body. A GOOD DIET -------- "banana diet" Week one: - have nothing but bananna milkshakes! take a multi vitamin tablet too (have as many as you want) Week two: - have stew or meaty vegetable soup for tea and banana milkshakes for breakfast and lunch Week three: have stew or meaty vegetable soup twice a day and banana milkshake for breakfast. Week four and then on: eat five small meals instead of thee big ones. I done this diet (my own invention!) and I lost 10 kg in four weeks. All you need is bananas, low fat milk, meaty vege stew or soup, and multi vitamins! DO NOT STARVE If you starve yourself you will eventually lose both weight and inches but there are risks associated with starving yourself. The chemistry of the body changes during starvation and you place your body under a lot of stress and in some cases, danger. For example, if you go on long periods of not eating or eating only a few hundred calories a day, you can lose weight in your heart muscle. This can cause a heart attack and you can die from it. If you stop eating for a day or two, you won't lose this kind of weight. However, it is better to restrict your calories and eat everyday to lose weight, than to starve yourself and put your body at risk for harm.

Does castor oil helps lose weight?

Yes, sure it will cleanse your colon. Drinking a moderate amount to cure constipation is highly recommended. However, under normal circumstances, castor oil will make you unable to control your bowel movements, meaning lots of visits to the washrooms, lots of diarrhoea and a handful of embarrassing moments.

How many calories does the average child burn per day?

It all depends on how old the child is. You could estimate based on weight or height and sex as compared to an adult, but children are growing and may burn calories differently than adults so this may not yield an accurate answer.
