Ok, so i've lost about 17 pounds, and I
want to lose about 20 more. I consume
about 1,200-1,400 calories a day. I've
been doing the abs of steel video
everyother day, I lift weights everyother
day, and I play basketball everyday. Can
anyone else tell me what to do to lose the
weight faster? I want to have it lost by
september. Thanks!

I saw your post on the eating disorder
forum. You need to get help, brittany!
The more you exercise frantically &
starve yourself, the sicker you will
become. Losing more weight is not what
you need. Please stop hurting your body
& get help.
(check out anad - anorexia nervose &
related disorders --- for help).

Hi brittany,
if you're not happy about your body and
want to change it, then all the power to
you. I would much rather find motivated
individuals like yourself who do something
about their unhappiness, opposed to those
majority who complain about the problems
in their life, or with their body, but do
nothing about it.
First off, we're going to talk about
nutrition since apparently you've had a
run in with eating disorders. (according
to a post above.) first thing you must
learn that to lose weight, to get that
sexy model body, you must eat...
*however*, you have to eat the proper
foods. Not all food will make you gain
weight! Get this misconception out of
your head! There are so many different
types of foods out there, choked full of
vitamins, amino acids, proteins, etc.
You need to understand proper nutrition
and eating the appropriate foods
throughout the day will actually help you
lose weight. One example is that
whenever you eat your metabolism increases
to break down the food and utilize it.
Your metabolism increases whether you eat
a few crackers, or a full meal. As soon
as your body senses food in your stomach,
it goes into action to break this food
down. This is why eating small meals
throughout the day will help you lose
weight, since your metabolism will
constantly be boosted up. (opposed to
only 2-4 meals per day.)
second, you need to do your exercises in
the mornings, not middle or end of the
day.. You'll burn much more fat this way.
Also, you must understand that the
harder you work does not equal burning
more fat off. Light/moderate
cardiovascular/aerobic exercises for an
extended period of time will burn more fat
off! (this means a light jog for 1 hour
is much more effective than sprinting and
sweating till you feel like you're going
to collapse for 20 minutes!). Slow,
steady, long period of time. Eat
throughout the day. Coffee in the
morning can help a bit.
