Drop 4 sizes (in a HEALTHY way)? -

help! i m rapidly reaching a jean size that can t be found in most regular stores, and that makes me nervous. i ve also gt a family history of hypertension so despite my youth, i m worried. i need to lose 40 pounds to be at the healthy weight for my age and height. the only problem is, i m on extremely tight schedule at the moment. between school, extracurriculars, a job, and family obligations, i ve got maybe 30 minutes a day or less to exercise. i would like to lose the weight by next april in a way that s health and effective. does anyone have diet and exercise tips for a busy busy girl?

The only thing I could add to what Precious had to say, is drink water, lots and lots and lots of water. I lost about 30 pounds one summer by giving up soda, drinking 8 - 12 cups of water EVERY day, and watching my portion sizes. such as one portion of meat is equal to the size of a deck of cards or about half of a chicken breast. Also I lost a lot more weight when I switched from 2% down to 1% milk. Here are some links for correct portion control. href="rel="nofollow">href="rel="nofollow">href="rel="nofollow">http://www.cookinglight.com/cooking/hl/n...

Easiest way to lose weight fast and safely is to cut your calorie intake by eating more on fiber, fruits and vegetables. You ll feel full with fewer calories on them. Fruits, vegetables and fibers are packed with nutrients but less on calories. I lost 10 pounds in just 2 months using these tips. Here are Tips to help speed up your metabolism plus help you lose weight without being miserable. they worked for me =) quot;Taking the time to relax and savor food increases calorie and fat-burning power by up to 30%quot;, mainstains Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet( Healing Arts Press, 2005). The reason: Savoring stimulates the cephalic phase digestive response, or quot;brain phasequot; of digestion, which then sets up a slimming chain of events. First, it signals the hypothalamus, the brain s emotion-and-appetite-control center, to trigger the release of the metabolism-reviving thyroid hormone and the pleasure neurochemical cholecystokinin (CCK). In turn, CCK hinders production of the stress hormone cortisol, a known cause of fat accumulation. 1.

The study-proven dose : 250 mg of caffeine daily, taken either in supplement form or by sipping to cups of coffee or 4 cups of tea. 4. Lose Weight just by eating Yogurt Yogurt is a calcium-rich food. Research links calcium with lower cortisol production, and it has been proven that women who increase they re intake lose up to 40% more weight than calcium avoiders. Plus Yogurt has live microorganisms which helps proper digetion and absorption of nutrients we take. Make sure to get yogurts that says quot;with live microorganisms in labels/packagesquot;. 5. Try this Hunger-Taming Trick Cut fat and you ll cut cravings. Consuming a high-fat diet may supress your body s natural satiety signals, according to a new study from Pennsylvania State University. Animals who d been consuming a diet rich in fat ended up eating 40% more of a high-calorie snack than those on average diets. Keep your fat intake to less than 30% of total calories. 6. Feel full on less food. Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you ll feel full on less food.The result: You ll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake. 7.

Speed fat burn with Cranberries.

Stick with lean protein rather than high-fat, artery clogging meat and dairy products. For breakfast, use low-fat milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. Eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breast. 10. To counteract a binge, keep your body s fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea. Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day. Whenever I ate too much, I just drink green tea and I don t have to worry gaining weight. 11. Speed weight loss and double energy levels by eating Coconuts. This tropical treats contain medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), a unique fat that is shuttled straight to the liver and immediately burned for fuel.
