It depends on what you do. My weight loss journey was something I struggled with for years. I tried being more active, eating healthy, etc but everyone is different and it just didn't work for me. I was losing maybe 1lb per month which was crazy slow for how much work I was putting in. I found this morning trigger which is what turned things around for me. I've lost 32 lbs in 3 months so far and I've always been someone with a "slower metabolism". I have a link in my bio if you want to learn more.
What is the daily protein intake when weight training?
Assuming that you are doing an intense, whole-body strength training session twice a week, it is a good idea to increase your intake of proteins above normal. You should also be eating a protein-rich meal every three or four waking hours. This means at least five meals of at least 15 grams of proteins each time for adult females and at least 20 grams of proteins each time for adult males. Your weight is also a factor, with many sources citing about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. It is best to get your protein from natural sources such as (unless you are vegetarian) grass-fed organic beef or sockeye (wild) salmon, but protein shakes with whey protein are fine.
In order not to get fat eating so frequently, decrease your daily carbohydrate intake. Avoid all processed (refined) carbohydrates (see the list further down this page) and keep your total carbohydrate intake below 80 grams. This will switch your body from burning sugar (all carbohydrates when digested become sugar) to burning fat, which will improve your appearance, how you feel, and make you healthier. For more information about how to build muscle or alternatively how to build muscle and burn fat, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

What is the approximate distance a 15 year old weighing 47 Kilos can run in 12 minutes?

Do lifting heavy weights stop you from growing?
Yes, because when you squat alot your bones get compact and you will eventually stop growing
If you are still growing now, lifting heavy weights won't actually stop you from growing so much as cause joint, muscular, skeletal, and general problems with your physical development.
Young people still developing shouldn't attempt weights until it's certain they've stopped growing. The complications from weighlifting at too early an age can be absolutely miserable: better to be taller than you might like than in pain and with restricted movement.
If you feel you are too tall, try concentrating on being as healthy as possible so that you look really good, even if you'd like to be shorter. As you mature you'll quite likely discover all kinds of advantages to being tall.
What does slim get George to do?
I realzie that they're going to kill each other In a furuos battle that makes no Sence at all but they would never do that any way unless they had to for a good reason to do.Altought they might have a big arguement at that point
Here are opinions:
It's best to run and lift weights at opposite ends of the day. For example, run in the morning and lift weights in the evening. Do whatever you are comfortable with. If you want to develop muscle then train with weights when you have the most energy.
Always do weight training or anaerobic exercises first. By running or working out aerobically first your muscles will not be at maximum capacity when you try to lift your weights, which is very important if you want to get maximum results ASAP.
According to University Profs from University of Alberta, an individual should develop their strength and power base before working on their cardiovascular endurance. * For in-depth information about how to combine cardio exercise and weight training, see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."
Inside your muscles you have stored sugars wich are called glycogen, when you weight train or run for example you use this glycogen store as energy. now.... when you run for example it takes about 20 minutes for the human body to deplete these stores of glycogen as energy before it has to then find new sources of energy within the body. more often then not, your body will then tap into your "stored" energy supplies wich is..... you guessed it, FAT, FAT is excess energy wich has been stored around your body for later use, now back to the point, if your weight training and running for weight loss and muscle gain, using for example what ive said above, it would be far more beneficial to weight train before doing a cardio vascular workout because, you are using your bodys glycogen supply BEFORE you start running, this means it will take less time for your body to then tap into other energy systems and deplete them. (body fat for example) and then eventually aiding you in reaching your final goal. do bear in mind however it can also make you far more tired then doing it the other way around for the pure fact that you are depleting such an important energy system before the end of your workout, (ever wonder why your body shakes and feels weak after a hard weight training session? that's because your muscles are runnning low on glycogen "sugar" so that's why glucose power drinks help to replenish depleted supplies!)
How much should someone who weighs 80 pounds bench?
Generally, for a male, a bodyweight bench is good to aim for, so 80 lbs.
A females with the same weight would have less muscle so something around 60 lbs is good to aim for.
HOWEVER, these are just some general goals, make your own goals that YOU feel comfortable with. And once you achieve them, EXECEED them!

What to do to reduce the size of the chest. what to do to reduce chest fat?
Exercise exercise exercise! If fat loss if your goal, then cardiovascular activity is absolutely essential. You will lose over all fat, including chest fat, if you do cardio. You can and should incorporate weight training, particularly for large muscle areas like legs, because the more muscle you have the more overall fat you will burn. Obviously doing chest exercises will help tone the muscles in your chest as well, but it is a myth that spot targeting an area will increase FAT loss in that area. It's just not true.
A teacher once said in nursing school that if you use hormones or other muscles building "pill" techniques then muscle will not be lost if you stop taking the "pill" but it will be harder for you to work out and continue building muscle unless you work twice as hard at it because the hormone makes it easier for you to gain muscle.
maybe alot of the 10 pounds is probably water weight

How can you lose belly fat and love handels?
Fat is fat, and your body doesn't just shed fat from one area. So, the question should really be: how do you lose fat? Bottom line, it is a simple math equation. You must burn more energy than you consume in the form of food. Additionally, how you do it and what foods you put in your body matter a great deal.
There are many programs and fads out there. Some work well, most work temporarily, but are not very sustainable. That's why people tend to put on weight again after they lose it. Once the weight loss is over, they go back to old habits.
People are successful losing weight and keeping it off when they change their habits in diet and exercise. The program needs to be an overall change of lifestyle. Eat more healthy foods in smaller amounts, consume at least 64 oz of water each day, restful sleep and move your body more even if its just adding short walks each day.
A healthy weight loss program will have you eating several smaller meals a day to stabilize your glycemic index and reduce overall caloric intake. Eating 6 times a day with 5 very small meals of 110 to 130 calories of balanced nutrition plus one larger "lean and green" meal will promote healthy, sustainable weight loss.
The program should train the body and the mind to control portions and recognize the proper amount of food to eat as well as proper frequency. Once the goal weight has been achieved, calories are slowly increased using the same 6 meal a day approach until weight is sustained at a constant, healthy level.
This approach will result in initial loss of 5 or more pounds in the first couple of weeks and 2 or so pounds per week thereafter until the goal weight is achieved.
If you search for "lean and green meals" on the internet, you will find some sites that offer guidance in achieving a healthy weight in a manner consistent with what is described above.
