Burn the Fat

I'm 25, good health, but I do have asthma. Not very bad. I weigh 202 pounds. Lean not fat. I do have a little fat but I'm mostly lean. I want to get down to 145. How many calories do I burn? Why is it good for your heart to beat fast or get to a certain level? I really need a little schooling on this. Thanks. Oh, after I eat, how long do I wait to exercise and hoe long do I walk on the threadmill?

after eating wait about 30 minutes to an hour or more if you feel you have to. walk on the treadmill about 30 minutes each day, plenty of water(water makes u feel less hungry), and stretchs before you jog or walk,(jog or walk for about 20 to 30 minutes).split your day up into six small meals eating lots of fruits and vegetables(carrots, broccoli, tomatoes,zucchini.) try making light soups with alot of veggies and seasoned water. hope this helps(p.s. let me know how this worked out, email me at redtulips@hotmail.com thnxx

I want to slim my legs down and one of my biggest target areas is my inner thighs. I don't want to build anymore leg muscle, I just want to burn the fat. Any suggestions?

Running,swimming,thigh master and the thigh machine at the local gym. If none of that interests you,do this-sit in a chair,place your hands on outer thigh sides then open your legs while closing you hands for a count of 10 to 15,repetitions 10-15(outer thigh).For the inner thigh-place your hands just inside your knees(palms flat),close your legs while pushing out with your hands,same reps and count as above. i like these because they are portable. i do them at home,on the bus, trolley, and in the car.Peace.

Haha I'm trying to burn the fat on my stomach so I can have like a six pack going on and my thighs so that they'll be slimmer, any tips of diet, and good exercises? Thanks!

Hi,
This is the most common problem to many of us.

Follow The Tips to burn your fat quickly and safely:

Drink more water day along.

Do not go to bed immediately after your dinner.

Try separating your meals into 5-6 smaller means per day, instead of 3 large meals.

Lose the fat, keep the muscle

Have you noticed how some people look frail and formless after they lose weight? That’s because they lost muscle along with the fat. Your muscles wear out every time you exercise, and they need time to rebuild and repair torn tissues. Increase your muscle mass by eating protein-rich foods such as fish, lean meat, eggs, and legumes. The more muscle you have, the faster you can burn fat.

Find an exercise you enjoy and do more of it. If you like to ride bikes go several times a week. If you enjoy hiking get away as much as you can. Join a square dancing club. Take a second job that requires physical work. You could make extra money and burn fat at the same time.

I want to get my stomach cut, especially my obliques and lower abs, but I've been reading that the best way is to do so is to burn the fat. So, what's the best way to burn the fat and some exercises to use?

Do some sit-ups and push-ups. That's the quickest way to burn the fat. Also cut down on the fats and sugars in your diet.

I am a 21 year old female, I am 5'7" and weigh 160 lbs. My legs are lean and in good shape, but my only problem is I do not know how to target the area between my thighs at the very top of my legs - the part where my thighs touch each other. What are good exercises to burn fat in this problem area? Or will the fat in this area shrink away with general aerobic workouts? Thanks!

Use a stepping machine at the gym - or buy one for use at home.

I've been working on my legs and i've noticed they are just gaining muscle than loosing fat, im a teenage girl and i feel like a man! Is there a way to burn fat effectively and not gain muscle, or loose the muscle?

First, muscular legs on a teenage girl are fine…unless you look like Mr. Universe, which I severly doubt. I assume you are weight training. If your leg muscles are getting too big, cut back on the weight and do more reps…15 - 20 should be fine. And also run or bike and or aerobics.

I have heard that the first 20 minutes of walking/running you burn carbs. After that you burn fat. Is this true. Can I just walk/run for 15 to 20 minutes a day and still burn fat.

you are burning calories, those calories come from whatever you ate, the more you burn the less will turn into fat. If you get a good 15/20 minute workout in you will burn some, if you do it longer you will burn more.

Exercises anyone can do, even sitting on a chair. These will help to stay limber and keep some muscle tone & promote better energy. liz.welsh3@shaw.ca

Basically I want to know an easy way to burn fat, with excersising and maybe healthy foods?
Are there any foods that burn fat or help you burn fat?
And what is the most effective way to burn fat excersising?

I highly recommend losing the weight slowly and correctly. I guarantee the faster you lose it, the faster it will come right back. The last thing you want to do is crash diet and really mess up your metabolism. Remember, it didn't take you 3 months to put on all the extra weight, so it definitely will not take only three months to lose it. The safest total weight loss per week is 1 pound. There is 3,500 calories in a pound of body fat, so in order to lose 1 pound, you simply need to create a 500 calorie deficit per day. Over the course of a week, this equals out to 3,500 calories or 1 pound.

The best way to hit this 500 number every day is to create a 250 calorie deficit through your diet and another 250 calorie deficit through cardio exercise. Remember, you want to fuel your body with high nutrient foods and keep your metabolism "stoked" throughout the day. The worst thing you can do is limit your food intake to severely which will cause your body to go into starvation mode and hold onto your body fat reserves. Your body is thinking its getting ready for a period of famine and will hold onto all the energy it can to survive this period. I recommend eating at least 1,500 calories per day and make sure you're eating "clean" and nutritious food. You want to make sure to eliminate all the excess and empty calories from your daily intake. The best way to do this is to write down everything you eat.

I recommend a general "clean" diet to adhere to. I would focus on lean protein sources (chicken breast, turkey breast, egg whites) and non-white starchy carbs such as brown rice, whole wheat pasta and boiled red potatoes.

I recommend starting on a light exercise program after your medical physical has been completed. You will experience the best results from a solid cardio program along with a nutritious diet when compared to only focusing on your diet.

Cardio training is any exercise that elevates your heart rate to a range between 60 to 85 percent of your maximum rate (fastest your heart could possibly beat). When you're in this heart rate range, you're training in an "cardiovascular" or "aerobic" state. Cardio training has numerous health benefits. In addition to burning calories and losing body fat, it strengthens your heart and lungs. Since heart disease is the leading cause of premature death for both men and women, cardiovascular fitness is a extremely important!

Most experts agree that cardiovascular training should last for 20 to 60 minutes, with the normal range being 30 to 40 minutes per session. Cardio should be performed a minimum of three days per week, with four to five days being optimal. Good examples of cardiovascular exercises :

Aerobics

Elliptical Trainers

Running

Sprinting

Stationary Bike

Tae Bo

Walking

Rope Jumping

Swimming

Sports

The list could go on forever.

The amount of calories you burn during your cardio session depends on your current body weight and the type of cardio exercise your doing.

Foods that are rich in Vitamin C have the properties of acting as fat burners. Limes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit and vegetables like, broccoli, cabbage, celery, carrot, watermelon and apple fall into this category. Broccoli and cabbage contain high quantities of calcium and vitamin C, and is also fibrous. What vitamin C does it dilutes the fat and thus renders it less effective. It also becomes easier for such fat to be flushed out of the system. Pectin is found in apples and mot fresh fruits. This substance is said to be able to limit the fat that is absorbed by the cells. In addition to this , pectin helps in the absorption of watery substances. The reaction of the watery substances on the cells makes it release fat deposits.

Breakfast foods like Oatmeal, skimmed milk and whole grain cereal and even spicy foods containing peppers are considered as foods that burn fat. Oats are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. The capsaicin present in peppers induces the body to produce more stress hormones which in turn revs the metabolic rate burning more calories in the process. Soy is the wonder product, which has chemicals, which help fat from being deposited and also helps to act on the fat deposits in the body by breaking them down. Soybeans enhance the body’s ability to do away with fat.

The juice of garlic or the oil of garlic has the same protective property towards body cells and catalyses the action of getting rid of body fat. Many Indians aware of this fact are mixing their atta with soy flour.

Black Tea, coffee, and green tea also perform the same function. Consuming these foods and doing exercise would increase the metabolic rate of the body. Since the metabolism is boosted and the foods themselves are deficit in calories, the energy and fat that is stored in the body help in the digestion process. In short such foods take longer to digest and require more energy to break them down. These foods are often termed as negative calorie foods. Such foods often contain a lot of water, high percentage of fiber and are low in fat.

Water has always been in the news. Not only is it a natural product, which suppresses appetite, flushes toxins and excess sodium, but is also known to have contributed to an increase in the metabolic rate. The liquids and solids present in soup is also said to have the same properties. Low fat yogurt has been touted to be a rich source of calcium, which helps in weight loss. The bottom line here is that your body has to be taught to burn fat efficiently.

Good Luck!!

How do i burn the fat on my stomach to make my abs show but not lose potential muscle mass or fat in other places? If this is possible is it ok to do it the days after you weight train?

Since we cant spot reduce body fat the only way to get rid of fat in any specific areas is by lowering your body fat percentage which you achieve by healthy diet and exercise.
To not lose muscle never go over 60min doing cardio - do it 4-6 times a week for average of 45min
the best thing is to do cardio after weight training - you are full of energy to lift weights and can spend all thats left doing cardio
Diet is actually 80% of fat loss so you have to watch what you eat and count calories -once you get used to certain amount you wont have to count anymore -your body will feel it naturally
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)
