How to gain weight Weight gain is something that isn't easy to do and you probably know this already. I know first hand because it is something I have to do every day. I am an ectomorph by genetics, which is the "skinny body type" and the one with the fast metabolism which makes gaining so hard for guys like me. The key to weight gain is to do everything BIG. You have to eat big, to lift big, to get big. Say that over and over again in your head until you fully understand it. A lot of people think weightlifting is the key to gaining weight, and I won't argue, it is an extremely important part. BUT, there is another thing that is just as important when it comes to how to gain weight, and that is your diet. So, to put it as simply as possible, there are 5 simple steps to how to gain weight, and here they are: 1) Count how many calories you eat in a normal day. Don't change anything, just eat like you normally would and count how many calories you consumed. This is an extremely important step, so try to be as exact as possible. Also, weigh yourself. 2) Starting the day after you counted calories, eat 500 calories MORE then you normally do. So, lets pretend that the day you counted calories you counted 2000. For the rest of the week, you would now eat 2500 calories a day. Instead of eating 3 big meals a day or eating all day all the time, spread those calories out over 5-6 smaller meals. Eat one meal every 2 and a half to 3 hours. To get big, you have to eat big! Remember that. 3) Weightlifting! Get in the gym and lift! This is another important step to how to gain weight, so make sure you are doing it correctly. For more information on weightlifting workout routines and splits. 4) At the end of that week, weigh yourself. You'll notice you're gaining just after one week! Now, don't expect to see a 10lb increase. Gaining anymore then 1 or 2 pounds a week is unhealthy and means you're putting on way to much fat. So look for 1 or 2 pound gains at the end of the week. Don't sound like much? You can be gaining 5-8 pounds a month! 5) Heres an important one. At some point, you will stop seeing weight gain. At this point, you will have to eat even more. So, when you stop gaining for at least 2 weeks, it means it is time to start eating an extra 250 calories a day. Every time you see you haven't gained weight for at least 2 weeks, add an extra 250 calories.
Is it safe to burn fat with fire?
It is impossible to burn fat with fire. And no it is not safe to burn fat with fire. What we men by this is that we are getting rid of the calories so we can lose more weight. So you are not actually "burning" them by means of fire, but by means of exercising
How do you lose your belly for summer?
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 small-portioned 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.
How do you lose weight without walking?
All you gotta do is eat Five times a day. Eat 300 calories for 3 meals and 200 calories for 2 snacks. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, 300 calories each and two snacks in between meals for only 200 calories each. That is 1300 calories total. 1700 calories is a full tank, you will not lose or gain that's why is important to keep it on 1300. When you eat 1300 calories, your body will give itself the other 400 calories by burning fat for energy. In 7 days you will have burned up enough fat to lose about 2 to 4 poundsa in a week and in a month, 8 to 10. It's really that simple. Exercise is always a factor when you want to loose weight. If walking is not possible, you can try yoga. Yoga is not as complicated as it sounds and few minutes of stretching works too. This will increase your weight lost to 10 to 15 pounds in a month. But just by eating right, you will lose weight.
How do you lose about 5 pounds of fat in a short time with only diet and exercise?
You answered your own question! Diet and exercise. Five pounds can be lost in just a couple of weeks safely.
Exercise is more about building muscle than losing weight. To lose weight, there is really no good advice other than changing your eating habits.
You should do it gradually, allowing a whole year for every 50-100 pounds you want to lose.

Also...whenever you feel queasy, nauseous, constipated or otherwise not completely well, try to remember what you've eaten over the last several hours or the last day. This is one method of adjusting one's food habits.

Do preteen girls like boys to have abs?

If you are gaining weight but losing fat is that ok?
Yes. If you are working out and gaining muscle tone, then it is reasonable that you may gain a little weight (a few pounds) or not lose as much weight as you normally would have if you were just losing "fat" weight. It is good that you are losing fat! In addition, you may be putting on some water weight as your body adjusts. This will go away completely within a few weeks or so. If this is not the case, and you are losing "fat" but still gaining weight, you may want to see a nutritionist or doctor to find out why that would be happening. Absent of that, there is nothing wrong with gaining a few pounds of muscle as you lose fat.

ok to lose weight u need to burn more calories then you are consuming.. if you eat 1200 calories and only burn 100 then your total for that day is still +1100 . see what i mean? so you must burn an amount greater then 1200 calories in order to lose weight.. i dotn know how to measure calories burned but i would guess about 2 hours exercise a day would be enough

Fatty foods. The only way this happens is by gaining weight all over.
How many calories burned in a 400m jog?
It all depend on the speed you run, BMI, age and terrain. Assuming you run at a medium speed where you can also do a conversation on a mobile phone, then at such running rate you can burn around 300 calories in 30 minutes. By running at that speed, you can cover 5 km in 30 minutes. So, 300 calories for 5000 meters or (300*400)/5000 = 24 Therefore, you lose 24 calories in 400 meters. :)
What is the best way to lose weight quickly if you are 19 and weigh around 250 pounds?
Try to avoid food that contains a lot of "fat" (Trans fat, total fat). That diet (I made 5 so far over the last 18 years, lost and gained 30-40 lbs each diet) was the only one that helped me lose 42lbs (and much more important: to keep it off!!). Also, try to do a little bit exercise (whatever makes fun: swimming, walking, jogging). 10-15 minutes a day is a good start. Please DO NOT avoid all "fat" in the food. You may get gall problems (gallstones). There is no way to lose weight fast. The faster you lose weight, the faster you will gain it back. Give yourself 1/2 year to lose 20 lbs maximum, 1 year to loose 40 lbs and so on.
The other posters are most certainly correct, but one little culprit many of us forget is "yeast!" Yes, women are loaded with this and why do you think many women have yeast infections.
If you get a book on a no yeast diet (let your doctor have a look at it) and stay away from yeast for approx. 6 weeks and slowly introduce a little back into your system, and follow what the other posters have told you, the weight will drop off.
There is no easy or magic way to lose weight quickly in a healthy way. Get out there and move! Jog for short distances (don't stress your heart), and it's even more fun to go with a friend.
For one month keep a journal of every bit of food you put in your mouth. We are all bad for popping a quick candy, energy bar, into our mouths when we are busy. Best to stop, stretch and eat a healthy salad from a place like "Subway" than eat a bun, greasy hamburger, or anything sweet.
Most of us love sweets, so if you absolutely have to have something sweet here is a trick I learned. I'd buy a chocolate bar (preferably with squares) take two and suck on them in my mouth. I'd hide the rest of the chocolate bar. Now that I think of it I must have a dozen or so hidden in nooks and crannies around my house. Ewww!
There are so many good exercise machines out there and "bowflex" is one of them if you prefer to exercise at home. If you go on your local "shopping channel" you can pick these machines up for a song.
Its extremely hard to start, so do it in steps;
Start with a full stop in candy, chips, soda, etc.
After 1-2 weeks you can clearly see difference.This will give you motivation to start the next step.
Eat healty: Make a program. Now you will feel something is missing from your diet (sugar, etc.). Instead of eating more, drink water! Always have a bottle of water next to you!
In 1-2 weeks you will definitely see a difference. Now you can start exercising. Start off by just walking 3 times a week.
When you feel up to it:
Find a program suited for you (remember, you have already lost a lot of weight)
You should keep it simple. I read this article in a health magazine once that changed my life: simply walk 45 every day and you will lose 1 pound about every 11 days without changing your diet. If you also cut back on the junk and up your vegetables you will lose even faster.
But please remember this: you need to make small changes you can keep for life. If you lose 3 pounds a month (I'm sure you'll lose a lot more!!) in the next year you'll lose 36 pounds forever.
By the time you're ready to celebrate your 21st birthday, you will be thin, beautiful and healthy--for life.
I am older and lost over 30 pounds in 6 months. I walked more as I became more energized and I ate no sugar. So don't panic! Be good to yourself.
The best way to lose weight, no matter what your age or how much you weigh, is to live a healthy lifestyle by eating properly, getting enough exercise, and also getting good sleep every night (an aspect that is often overlooked).
First of all, please save yourself tons of money and wasted hope by NOT buying into all of the diet and pill fads. You may in fact lose weight a little faster these ways, but I guarantee that you will not only gain it all back, but you will be MISERABLE while you're doing it! Fad diets can make you crazy with all the things you can't eat or have to eat, and they can also be very unhealthy. Pills are dangerous, too; even ones that claim to be safe. And let's face it, whether you're fat or thin, if you're not healthy, what's the point?
Secondly, the faster you realize that you cannot, cannot, cannot lose weight sitting on your butt all the time and eating whatever you feel like, the faster the weight will come off. If fat people put half as much energy into a healthy lifestyle change as they do into finding a miracle diet, we would all be much smaller! I will tell you this, too: eating healthy and exercising are not mutually exclusive. What I mean is you can't just exercise all the time so you can continue eating whatever you want, nor can you eat so little or so healthy that you never have to exercise. It doesn't work that way, trust me!
So, we know that fad diets and pills don't really work, and we have to eat right and exercise. Now what, right? Good news, the formula is not difficult. As far as exercise goes, our elementary school gym teachers were right....30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics, spinning, etc.) three or four times a week will do it. Eating right is a slightly more complicated process, but not by much. First things first: immediately cut ALL sugar out of your diet. ALL OF IT! And beware of things like chewing gum or mints, which you may think don't have that much sugar, or in places where you might not even expect sugar, like white bread and pasta. (Listen, don't eat no carbs, just eat the right ones in moderation, like wheat bread and whole grain pastas.) Once you get over the sugar hump (four to five days, and you may not even miss it), the rest of your new diet will seem easy. Eat your daily carbs for breakfast, like a bowl of oatmeal or whole grain pancakes with sugar free syrup. Carbs give us energy, and we need energy to make it through the day. For lunch, have a salad or some cheddar cheese and whole grain crackers with a piece of fruit. Don't eat heavy lunches; you want to be hungry again at a reasonable hour, not 20 minutes before you hit the sack. For supper, three to four ounces of lean meat like baked chicken or beef is good, with as many veggies as your healty heart desires. No carbs, not even good ones, because overnight they will turn into fat. Drink plenty of water. Don't skip meals. Don't be afraid to snack, but make healthy choices available to yourself, like yogurt and fruits. Go ahead and get your three servings of dairy a day, because, not only do they curb the appetite quite well, they have also been proven to aid in the loss of belly fat! If you must take a supplement, I suggest fiber. Most people don't get enough anyway. And remember, if you don't bring junk food into your house, you won't be tempted to eat it, so be a health-minded consumer!
I also wanted to add a note on your weight loss time frame. There is a posting on this page that says you should limit your weight loss to 20 lbs every six months, or 40 lbs a year and so on. This is only a half truth. If you are fad dieting or on weight loss pills, it is a definite possibility to lose weight faster than your body should, but that's because you're doing it in an unhealthy way. If you are sticking to a healthy diet and getting enough exercise and the right amount of rest, your body is going to lose weight exactly as fast as it needs to. If that turns out to be 40 lbs in the first six months, that's just fine. And if you need to lost alot of weight, say 80 lbs or more, that may take awhile, depending on how well you stick to your lifestyle change, and that's ok, too. But I guarantee you'll keep it off!
Do loads of sport! Try and eat less stuff with fat, sugar and all that...I mean you can have a treat once in a while but try going towards a healthy lifestyle! It's never too late!
Eating breakfast also helps loads! If you have a healthy and filling breakfast, you tend to work more, get better grades and get more involved in things including sporting activities which could help you lose weight! Try and you'll see the difference!

How can you get rid of cellulite without losing weight?
rub lots and lots of coco oil all overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.trust me it helps! and drink alot of lemonade
b) Since cellulite is a layer of FAT under the dermis ( skin) rubbing ANYTHING on it will not change it. Be logical and look back to your basic HEALTH classes.
There are techniques using devices to pull the fat tissue apart creating less of a "grouping" and even out the "look" of the fat. It looks like a giant rolling pin as it is passed back and forth over the area being treated. This is not an invasive procedure. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian has used this at her plastic surgeons office.
Lemonade has NOTHING to do with weight loss or cellulite. And Cocoa Oil is not able to be absorbed molecularity to be effective in effecting anything with the dermis.
There is current research looking into the usage of caffeine as an agent to assist with the improvement and appearance of cellulite.
Yet the KEY to remember is CELLULITE is FAT. You want to effect FAT- how does that happen? usually by LOOSING IT.
To improve your skin's appearance EVERYWHERE it is recommended that you stay HYDRATED.
