In order to run a six minute mile, you need to focus on your breathing, and the rate at which you run. It shouldn't be at a full burst of speed, because you can lose energy rather quickly, but keep it at a constant jog. You would be surprised at how effective a constant jog can be. I remember a friend of mine telling me she could beat me at the mile, and of course, I told her she couldn't. So when the teacher signalled us to run, I ran at a burst of speed whereas she was doing a slow and steady jog behind me. Little did I know, my energy would run out quickly, and I was soon walking. Soon she passed me, still at her steady jog, and finished the mile in about 7 minutes, wheras I finished it in 12

There is only one healthy way to loose weight, no matter how much you currently weigh. You need to burn more calories than you're ingesting. Start by eating lighter, healthier meals. Vegetables, fruits, quinoa, Greek yogurt, eggs, oats, soy milk, and water are all very important staples in a weight-loss diet. Avoid high calorie, high carbohydrate, and high fat foods, such as bread, pasta, fast food, cake, cookies, chips, soda, candies, ect. Try to exercise at least 3 times/week (7 times/week is even better) and incorporate both cardiovascular and weight training into your exercises. For starters, you may want to do more cardiovascular training, as this will burn more fat, but strength-training is also important because the more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn all the time. Some good cardiovascular exercises include: Spinning, swimming, running, cross-country skiing, elliptical machine, and kickboxing.

Just stick to a healthy diet and exercise daily. By exercise I don't mean vigorous exercising, just go out and play tag with friends, or just go swimming. As for snacks stick to carrots and dip and yogurt, in stead of chips and ice cream. Ok?

There are about 173 calories in a glass of red sangria.

It depends on the temperature of the water.

1 calorie equals roughly 4.184 joules, and 1 calorie equals roughly 1 degree C in a gram of water. (the actual definition includes a specific temperature, I think about 3 degrees C).

So you could say that 1 gram of water contains roughly 4.18400 joules per degree above absolute zero, so 1 gram of near-freezing water is about 273 degrees * 4.184 joules/degree = about 1142 joules.

That depends on the type of lettuce. For the calories in various types of lettuce, by weight or portion, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

I was able to manage and then 'get rid' of my type 2 diabetes by exercising 4-6 times a week, cutting down on carbohydrates (carbs break down to sugar in your body) and just monitoring my food in a healthy not super restrictive way.

I read an article that said the following.. women: If you are 5' tall you should weigh 100lbs for every inch over 5" add 5lbs Measure your writst if it is less than 6" subtract 10% from the weight you just calculated. If it is 6" it stays the same, if it is more than 6" add 10%. If you are totally inactive (no exercise) multiply the weight calculated by 11, If you exercise regularly (2-3 times a wk) multiply by 13, if you exercise 4-5 times per wk multiply it by 15, and if you exercise 6-7 times a wk multiply it by 18. That is the number of calories you should intake daily ex. 5'4 woman w/ 6" wrist= 120lbs, exercises 2-3times/ wk= 1560calories. To find out grams of fat multiply by .20 1560*.20= 312 1g of fat= 9calories 312/9= 35grams/day

Physically speaking, as you are actually donating the blood... about 50 cal. you are just sitting there, so no exertion.

But the actual loss of one pint of blood followed by the body working overtime to replace the blood cells equals about 600-650 calories!

So you burn about 650 cals donating blood, and you save lives! Whoohoo!

There is no recommended daily allowance (RDA) for sugar. In fact, some experts believe we need no sugar at all. On the other hand, weight loss surveys have shown that diets containing very small amounts of sugar are less easy to stick to. Official US Guidelines advise a maximum of 40g refined sugar for every 2000 calories consumed. This equates to 8 percent of calories. Note: Refined sugar is not only table sugar - it includes the sugars in a wide range of processed foods (e.g. breakfast cereal). So remember to read food labels and choose lower-sugar brands.

Throwing up after a meal is a sign of the dangerous and potentially deadly eating disorder known as bulimia nervosa. It is a dangerous and not a good methos for weight loss.

Each standard drink of beer, wine or liquor contains .60 oz. of absolute or pure alcohol.

It depends upon other factors besides just calories. There are essential nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, otherwise you could be harming your muscular and nervous systems. 500 calories a day is not a healthy amount. Instead of trying for quick weight loss you should develop a healthy regimen of diet and exercise that you can follow for months, then years.

By Somehow losing 1000 calories in those 5 minutes and making sure you don't put them back on within the next 12 hours at least. And then every time you eat, burn around 25% of the calories in exercise- the rest will be burned during normal daily activity.

Hmmm.... you could cut your head off (losing about 7-8lbs) or most of your arm, but otherwise you cannot.

The fastest runner ran the mile in 3 minutes and 40 seconds. One mile for the average human burns about 100 calories ( they are actually kilocalories). Therefore the fastest human runner can only burn about 200 calories in 5 minutes.

One pound of fat has about 3000 calories (actually kilocalories). If you walk, crawl, or run 30 miles you will burn one pound of fat. Therefore to burn five pounds you would have to walk, run or crawl 150 miles, or run 150 miles in 5 minutes. Therefore if you can run at a speed of 1800 miles an hour, you will burn 5 lbs of fat off yourself in five minutes. Good luck!
