How to loose the 5 last pounds ?

[Anny]

Have you ever tried a diet and/or the gym to do many hard exercices to loose the extra last 5 pounds/2 kilos that you want to get rid of?

I know for me its so hard. Its really easy the first 5 pounds but what about the last 5 others?

Any suggestions or ideas or your personal story(ies) on what you did to lose them without being anorexic or bolemic lol?

1- Program yourself for success : set a very specific goal

-Remember that loosing weight requires a change in thought and behavior, so set goals for your emotions and weight.

- Dont just set vague goals like " i want to lose some weight " Be SPECIFIC: how much weight do u want to lose? how do u want to feel? close ur eyes and visualize yourself after u've reached those goals. Use this visualization to feel commitment and inner strength :)

2- Get a plan:

- Work out a detailed strategy because willpower doesnt work! To lose weight and keep it off, u must have a strategy.

- Plan ahead: get rid of ur expandables clothes , stay away from fast food , and keep healthy food in your pantry.

3- Identify small , measurable steps:

-implement steps that will fit ur life style, not somebody else's.

- Be sure to move toward a positive goal, not just away from being fat.Every step u take will bring u closer to being who u WANT TO BE. :)

4- Create a healthy , realistic timeline:

- where will u be in a month? six months? a year? feet ur goals to tur calender and stick to it.

- Dont expect to see HUGE results overnight ; take the time to change ur lifestyle, and u'll change ur weight :)

5- create meaningful monitoring and accountability:

- If u know u have to report ur progress to some1 , u'll be more likely to stick 2 ur plan .

- "go public" with somebody u trust. Find support when u need it, and celebrate ur victories :)


Gd Luck 4 all
:D

Don't eat anything beside cereal and tuna all day every day for 3 days in a row.
Make Exercise a Habit. Part of being disciplined is creating a habit. You may not want to brush your teeth every night, but you do it anyway because you always do it right before bed...it's a habit. You can do the same thing with exercise by keeping your workouts on specific days and times each week (if you can)... And then watch the last 5 pounds going away..

التمارين الرياضية لا تخفض الوزن

أكد باحثون أميركيون الشكوك التي ساورت العديد من اختصاصيي التغذية وهو أن النشاطات البدنية لا تساعد على خفض الوزن. وقارن باحثون في القسم الصحي بجامعة لويولا أوزان سيدات أميركيات من أصل أفريقي في شيكاغو وبين حالة نظيراتهن يعشن في مناطق ريفية في نيجيريا حيث تبين أن أوزان النساء اللواتي يعشن في شيكاغو مثلاً تبلغ حوالي 83 كيلوغراماً، مقارنة بـ 57 كيلوغراماً بالنسبة للسيدات النيجيريات.


وشملت الدراسة 149 امرأة من قرى زراعية في نيجيريا و172 سيدة أميركية من أصل أفريقي يعشن في منطقة ماي وود غرب شيكاغو، حيث تبين أن نساء المنطقة الأخيرة يحرقن حوالي 760 سعرة حرارية يومياً خلال نشاطاتهن البدنية في حين أن النساء النيجيريات يحرقن حوالي 800 سعرة حرارية خلال الفترة ذاتها.


وفي هذا السياق، قالت الباحثة أيمي ليوك وهي اختصاصية للتغذية في معهد لويولا للتغذية إنه على الرغم من أن الفرق ليس كبيراً من حيث حرق السعرات الحرارية عند هؤلاء النساء لكن يبدو بأنه ليس هناك علاقة بين التمارين الرياضية وخفض الوزن.


أضافت ليوك"سوف نشعر بالسرور لو تبين لنا أن للنشاط البدني تأثير إيجابي على ضبط الوزن ولكن لا يبدو الامر كذلك".


وأشارت إلى أن الحمية والعادات الغذائية تختلف بين نيجيريا وأميركا ففي حين أن الاطعمة في نيجيريا تحتوي على الالياف والكاربوهايدرات ومنخفضة الدسم، فإن نسبة المواد الدهنية في الاطعمة الاميركية تتراوح في بعض الحالات ما بين 40% و 45%.

Ahhh the dreaded diets lol

Well you loose the first 5 pounds so easily because its excess fat which is stored by your body its just hanging out so to say.
The next 5 are harder as they are stored, the best thing to do is watching what you eat try to limit carbs to once a week, drink plenty of water and excersie excersie!!

Do a cardio warm up for 10 minutes, try 15-20minutes of toning muscle work and then another 40 minutes to an hour of cardio. As your muscles are already working help you burn more calories faster

The best thing you can do is different exercises like riding a bike or elliptical. After I told a lady at the gym I work at to switch from the treadmill to the elliptical... She lost 4 pounds the next week.
