lose weight, 5 best way for women

lose weight for women
 the previous post I wrote about losing weight for teenagers and how Many teenagers and especially girls often find losing weight a very tedious task and it seems like it will take forever to see some results but today I just thought about some ways for women who want to lose or they find there weight is not as they say (not comfortable) and losing weight for women is a serious case than men because Both men and women want to lose weight. But if I were to choose
on which gender is more aggressive or desperate to lose weight fast, I would say it would be the women. This is because, women have more options in clothing style, are more conscious of how they look and gain self-esteem plus confidence from their appearance.

Oddly enough, the female gender is the one who wants to have a well sculpted physique, but they are also the ones who find it harder to achieve it. This is because women have more body fat percentage and less muscle mass than men. Do not lose hope though because this article will tell you the five best ways on how to shed off those excess pounds.

1- right reasons make more sense

Unlike most men who usually do things with no deep or apparent reason and yet succeed, a woman needs to have the right reason/s to keep moving. A woman must have the right reason to shop, to drink, to work, and to lose weight so she’ll be able to do or even to start a specific task.

If you really want to lose weight, you need to ask yourself the question “Why do I want to lose weight?” It is unsurprising if you cannot come up with 101 reasons, but the most important thing is to choose the best among the list and engrave it to your mind and heart so you’ll never give up even when you feel like going to.

2 a strong support group is more effective way.
Women usually have different means to deflate all the bad emotions they feel inside. They can call their BFF to cry with them, they have a sweet tooth that tells them to eat chocolate and benefit from the ‘happy chemical’ called phenylethylamine (PEA). Though this may sound healthy, but chatting and crying with girl friends always involves a food element. Common foods in a normal girl bonding are sweets like cake and muffins, junk food like chips, and alcohol.

For that reason, make sure that your support group is strong enough and that they too are conscious for their health. This is to avoid any innocent but bad health influence. Talk with your friends and ask them to help you lose weight by not serving unhealthy foods (especially chocolates as they contain very high amount of calories) whenever you cry running to them.

3 counting calories

If you are not quite good in computing your calorie input and output, you may use online calorie calculators to do so. Also, if you are the type of person who is not good in memorizing numbers, you may write your daily calorie count by keeping a food journal.

Since calories play a vital role in weight gain and weight loss, monitoring your calories is very important. By doing so, you’ll know if you are taking in too much and you’ll be able to plan your weight loss menu.

4 -fun activities, why?

Singer Cyndi Lauper said on her award-winning song, “Girls just want to have fun”. She is right. Girls are not as persevering as boys when it comes to exercise. Girls are often caught chatting with their gym buddies or ending up in the gym’s cafeteria.

A fitness trainer-friend told me that in a three hour workout, girls spend two hours chatting and just one hour to actually workout. For that reason, fitness experts have recommended that women should engage into activities they can burn calories while still having fun. Some suggested activities are sports like badminton, volleyball, and swimming, dancing like belly dancing, hiphop, and ballroom dancing, and the famous Pilates and yoga.

5 Get as much workout as you can

Over 90% of the women in the United States go to work to earn a living. That means, women especially those who work in an office are getting sedentary jobs. Sedentary living as we all know is one of the major contributing factors of weight gain. Thus, to avoid that, women must make an extra effort to get those muscles working out.

At home: try to avoid sitting for long hours in front of the TV, but instead, why don’t you do simple workouts like jumping jacks, push-ups, and crunches. Another good calorie-burning activity at home is doing household chores like mowing, mopping, and washing dishes. This will not only make your house clean and organized, but helps you lose weight as well.







In an office: try to get as much exercise by using the stairs instead of the elevators. Also, park as far as you can from the office so you’ll have a longer distance to walk and if your workplace is not too far from your house, try walking or biking to work instead.

How to lose calories before your wedding

Taking the lead from our previous article, how many calories to lose weight, we present below some new ideas on how to lose calories before your wedding and look great on that big day.

Every bride’s dilemma is to look perfect in their wedding day. For that to happen, you need to look stunning from head to toe; that includes your hair-do, make-up, and of course your dress. Finding the perfect dress is one thing, but fitting in it is another. If you are one of those brides who can’t seem to fit in the dress of your dreams or a bride who would like to look extra slender for her big day, this article is for you.
Tip #1 Include it on your “To do” list
Every bride to be has a “to do” list so she’ll not forget even the slightest detail for the wedding. That means, including “losing 10 pounds before the wedding” on that list will remind you of your goal. However, since the said statement is too broad, add specific sub-entries that include date, activity, and goal:
  • October 20-25,2010 – two hours/day on the treadmill to lose one pound
  • October 26-31,2010 – two hours/day on the stationary bike to lose one pound
  • November 1-5,2010 – one hour/day aerobic classes to lose one pound
Tip #2 Minimize pre-wedding dine-outs
You and your maid of honor or groom have the tendency to dine out as you look and meet-up with wedding suppliers. Common scenarios are lunch or dinner meeting with your wedding coordinator, food tasting with possible caterers and cake suppliers, talking over coffee as you discuss the details, or simply having snacks in a fast food restaurant as you and your fiancé discuss the budget.
These innocent meals do not help you lose weight. In fact, they can make you look bigger as you walk down the aisle. Minimizing these meal meetings to only those that are necessary like food tasting, will greatly help you in managing your weight. In addition to that, it can also help you allocate more funds for your wedding.
Tip #3 Invite your groom to do an activity with you
Most men do love and have sports, why not join your fiancé on that sport. This way, you get to burn some calories and spend more time with him before you two become officially Mr. and Mrs. And if in case he’s not into sports yet, it’s never to late to start. Invite your guy to start engaging in a sport activity that both interest you.
Tip #4 Enroll in dancing class
Dancing burns calories as much as working out in a gym. You have the option to enroll alone, bring along a girl friend, or invite your fiancé to enroll with you. Talking your groom to go on dancing lessons with you not only allow you both to look at your best on your wedding but also allows you to render a special dance which could make your wedding extra special.
Tip #5 Negate stress
Stress releases a chemical to the brain which is interpreted as hunger. That’s the reason why people who are stressed seem to have certain food cravings. If you want to lose weight before your wedding, try to avoid stressors. Also, avoiding stress will help you look fresh and glowing on your wedding day.
Best wishes!

How many calories are in a pound?

How many calories are in a pound? 3500 calories make one pound. Calories and weight gain are closely associated because excess consumption of calories while living a sedentary lifestyle could make anyone gain weight in no time.
However, calories are not necessarily that bad, weight gain is actually caused by the people who have no control of their caloric intake.
When we talk about the calories found in food, we are actually talking about the unit of measurement for energy. For example, a person needs 100 calories to walk a distance of 100 meters,
that simply means he needs to eat a food that contains 100 calories so he can successfully accomplish the task. Eating a food less than the said requirement will prompt the body to burn its energy reserves, also known as body fat, to compensate for the lack of energy from the food, thus a person loses weight. On the other hand, if the person consumes more calories than what the body needs, the body will store the excess calories in the body as fat deposits causing the person to gain weight.
There are about 3,500 calories in one pound. This applies to the calories from the food you eat and on the calories you burn through exercise or any activity that requires energy.
This means that each time a person loses 3500 calories, s/he become a pound lighter. However, losing 3,500 calories in one day is not only unhealthy but it is also impossible, thus you must get rid of the 3,500 calories in an installment basis. For example, 500 calorie deficit everyday is equal to 3500 calories in one week which is synonymous to one pound lost per week. You simply have to increase you daily calorie deficit if you want to lose weight faster. See also how many calories to lose weight.
If you want to watch your caloric intake, you can check the nutrition facts label which is mostly located at the back of food containers. Take note that every food has different amount of calories, fruits and vegetables for example are great source of vitamins and minerals but contains very little amount of calories compared to dairy products which contains high amount of fats.
Food nutrients also have different calorie contents. Carbohydrates and protein have 4 calories per gram each, fat has 9 calories per gram, and alcohol has 7 calories per gram.
So, if you aim to lose weight fast and healthily, you simply need to reduce you daily calorie intake or do activities that require your body to burn more calories.

Fastest way to lose 20 pounds

To lose 20 pounds fast seems impossible. But over the years dietitians, fitness experts and medical practitioners have proven that an effective diet and workout plan would definitely help you lose weight fast. The following tips are proven to be effective, particularly with people who really aspire and in dire need to shed off 20 pounds fast.

First: Make a meal schedule for six small meals a day and stick to it.
Limiting yourself to three large meals a day – breakfast, lunch, and dinner – will not help you lose 20 pounds fast. It’s not about the frequency of the meal but it’s all about the quality and quantity of the meal.
Experts agree that eating five to six small low calorie meals a day are much healthier because it allows your body to have constant supply of
energy. In addition to that, this weight loss strategy will also prevent mid-meal hunger thus you get to unnecessary eating. It may seem hard to get used to this eating schedule but once your body had adjusted to it, you will notice that you are actually eating less than the usual and that your goal of losing that excess 20 pounds is just a few short weeks away.
Second: Increase your fluid intake.
Drinking lots of fluids is a really good way to make yourself feel full quickly and make you want to eat less and lose those excess pounds you have. However, not all fluids are good for you. If you want to lose 20 pounds fast avoid Carbonated, sweetened, and fruit-flavored drinks because they are loaded with calories which could make you gain a lot pounds. The healthiest drink in the world is water, eight glasses or more a day will keep you hydrated, boost of the metabolism, and could keep you full resulting to decrease food intake. In addition to that, plain distilled water contains zero calories, thus you do not have to worry of drinking a glass more each day.
Regarding the best water temperature, there are two opposing hypothesis about it: Some people say cold water is the best choice of fluid if you want to lose a few pounds because cold water needs to be warmed up to as it enters the body to coincide with the body’s normal temperature, thus calories are converted to energy to do just that. On the other hand, others say that warm water is better because cold water could coagulate the fatty food that you just consumed; imagine a melted butter placed in the fridge. Cold or warm – the bottomline is drinking eight glasses of water a day will surely help you to lose weight.
Third: Move as much as you can.
Eating just the right amount of food and increasing your fluid intake is not enough if you wish to lose 20 pounds fast. You need to add exercise in your weight loss routine. Keeping your body active makes you burn and lose calories. Low to moderate impact exercises, when done regularly, would definitely help you shed excess calories. To speed up the process, make it a habit to allot 30 minutes to one hour a day for workouts.

Calories and fast weight loss

Calories are everything that we eat. Its amount varies on what kind of food we actually take in. The heavier the content of the food is in terms of carbohydrate, protein, and fat content, the
larger the amount of calories it contains. The amount of calories that a person needs everyday varies, this depends on your age, weight, height, and the activities you do. When you over eat and your calorie count is surging way too high than what you need, weight gain occurs.

How many calories to lose weight?


Counting may be too much a task to some people especially those who have really busy schedules. But if counting would mean losing some of those extra pounds fast then it may be worth a try. This technique had been proven to be very safe and effective especially if you really watch how much you eat every meal.
The first step to calorie counting is to know how much calories you need to consume in a day. You may use online calorie calculators to do so or manually compute it using the Harris-Benedict Equation.
When you have already established your daily calorie requirement, the next step is to learn how much calories your food contain. Learning caloric contents of your food is easy. You can make use of the nutrition guide which is usually found at the back of each food container that details the amount of calories each food serving contains. This is not hard to find because almost all food have this label because it is being mandated by the law. This is to ensure that consumers are aware of they are eating.
Then there’s what we call calorie burning. Walking, jogging, swimming, and any other activities help burn the calories we have consumed. Cardio exercises are the top pick for people who wish to lose weight fast because energy expenditure is quite high when doing activities that increase your vital signs.
Now let’s do the math:
Subtract the amount of calories you want to spare everyday from your daily calorie requirement to get your weight loss caloric count. Do remember that the calorie-pound ratio is 3500:1. This mean, losing 500 calories a day can make you lose one pound in a week.  Burning another 500 will make you lose two pounds in one week. Burning or cutting your calorie intake by 500 to 1000 calories a day is generally considered safe; going beyond that may need medical supervision.
But then again, it is advisable to seek medical advice before undergoing any weight loss plan. Your doctor is the best person to tell you which is the best and safest method for you. This goes especially true to people who are morbidly obese because rapid weight loss could be very dangerous.
Overall, eating less and exercising more is still the best way to lose weight. In addition to that, counting the amount of calories you take in daily will help keep you on tract.
Calorie counting is simple don’t you think?

How to lose weight fast for teenage girls

Many teenagers and especially girls often find losing weight a very tedious task and it seems like it will take forever to see some results. A lot are also worried that trying to lose weight may be too dangerous for their health. What many do not know is that there are ways to learn how to lose weight fast but in a healthy and secure way.

By sticking to the following health guide, you will see admirable outcomes within weeks of doing non- stressful, super easy weight loss methods. Some of the tips are well know and we have repeatedly mentioned them in our articles but still a lot of young people fail to follow them correctly.

  1. Be sure not to skip any of the three main meals everyday plus adding mid-meal snacks in between. When your body get used to this eating habit there is a lesser chance of you getting hungry before the next meal. Hence you eat less during each meal cutting out the excess calories you get.
  2. Choose an exercise that you enjoy doing. Even if it is just the easiest routine among other types of exercises, as long as you enjoy doing it, it will keep your body moving and your excess calories burning. Simple exercises like brisk walking and jogging are the best exercise for people who don’t have the time to go to the gym. You can even integrate exercise while at school or even when shopping by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or just merely getting up to change the channel instead of using the remote. Having an active body burns a lot of calories and if you want to lose weight the healthy way just remember to stay active everyday.
  3. Limit your intake of carbohydrates and sugars. Carbohydrate rich foods are the culprit of having those extra calories. Oftentimes you choose what you eat wrongly. By limiting your intake of carbohydrates and sugars you are also cutting down the number of calories in your diet. Choosing fresh fruits as snack items instead of donuts and other sugary pastries will definitely cut down your calorie intake.
  4. The 8 glasses a day trick still works. Water is still the most accessible element when you want to lose weight fast and easy. Instead of drinking a can of soda and other sugary drinks, aim to consume at least 8 glasses of water a day. Water does not only keep your body cool and refreshed it will also diminish your craving for anything sweet and will also help you feel full thus diminishing the amount of the food you eat. In addition to that, water also boosts your metabolism for a faster yet healthier weight loss.
  5. If all else fail, prepare for a back up. Hiring a personal trainer is not a bad idea. There are really times that you lose your motivation to do something that you feel you really can’t do on your own. A personal trainer will prepare a program that is tailored-fit on you, thus increasing your weight loss success rate. However, you may need a significant amount if you opt for this (and you will need the financial help of your parents) because personal trainers could be quite expensive, but if you take care of your weight now that you are a teenager you will save a lot of money, trouble and disappointment as you grow up.
These methods are not that hard to follow. When you want to lose weight fast and healthy you need to be prepare yourself for some changes; sedentary to active lifestyle and high calorie diet to balanced diet.

How many calories to lose weight

How many calories to lose weight?” is a very popular question among people searching for ways to shed the extra pounds. Calculating the number of calories you consume daily and the number of calories you burn can give you an indication on how long it will take you to lose weight.
A calorie is the unit of measurement for energy we get from the food we eat. That means, the more calories you consume, the more energy you’ll have. However, when calories are left unconverted due to less energy expenditure, they are deposited in the body as fats which can still be converted as energy at a later stage, thus body fat is also referred to as “reserved energy”.

People have different calorie requirements and have different paces of burning the calories. More than half of the daily amount of calories converted to energy goes to the normal physiologic functioning of the body such as respiration and blood circulation while the other half goes to physical activities like walking and working. Factors that determine the daily calorie requirement of an individual are age, gender, body size, and activity level.
Another important fact to remember is the pound calorie ratio of 3500:1. This means, in every 3500 excess calories your body gains, you gain a pound; in every 3500 excess calories your body burns, you lose a pound; and if you are consuming just the right amount of calories that your body burns daily, you keep your weight.
So, how many calories to lose weight? Let’s discuss this by examining each determining factor.
Age
The amount of calories that the body needs gradually increases from birth to mid adulthood (20 to 39 years old) and gradually decreases from late adulthood to old age (40 years old and above). This is because the body’s metabolism naturally slows down as we get older due to hormonal changes, increase in body fat percentage, etc. Considering this factor, you need to increase you energy spending as you get older to cope with the drop of your metabolism.
Gender
Because men are blessed to naturally have more muscle mass and less fat percentage compare to women, they lose weight faster. For this reason, women should apply more effort to burn calories than men.
Body size
People who are overweight or obese lose weight faster compared to those who are already slender. This is because they have more weight to lose. Unlike fat people, people who are already slim and slender need to decrease their fat burning activity to conserve energy reserves.
Activity level
People who are more active tend to lose weight easier than those who are living a sedentary life. Though this seems obvious, the explanation is simply because their bodies burn more calories to meet the energy requirements of the different physical activities they perform.
Overall, if you want to lose weight, you simply need to decrease the amount of calories you take in daily and increase the amount of activities you do everyday.
Based on the weight-calorie ratio, you simply need to lose 500 calories daily to lose one pound in one week. Increasing the amount of calories you burn daily will also increase the number of pounds you lose per week. However, a person’s daily calorie intake should not go lower than 1200 to avoid any interruptions in the body’s normal functioning.
Consider the factors stated in this article and start planning your weight loss strategy today. You may seek the help of nutritionist and fitness experts to help you with your weight loss plan. You may also find this post useful: How to lose weight in 2 weeks.

calories To Lose Weight, if your goal is to lose weight with exercise calorie calculator

Counting calories accurately is essential if your goal is to lose weight, and the only way to do that is to record what you eat and drink accurately.
Because it’s so easy to forget your exact food intake during the day, the solution is to keep a small notepad or food diary in your
handbag or pocket wherever you go. That way, every time you eat something, you can make a note of it. Then when you’re counting your calories up for the day, you can use your notepad to jog your memory to ensure that every single mouthful is counted.

But it’s not just the forgotten nibbles that can make the difference between calorie counting success and failure! It’s also worth evaluating your portion sizes. Many of us stop weighing or measuring portions of foods after the first few weeks of recording food intake and instead rely on judging our portion sizes by sight. Unfortunately, this often means portions and calories gradually creep up, stopping us from losing weight.
The good news is, once you’re counting calories accurately, you’ll be able to identify your problem areas and ditch them from the menu once and for all – along with those excess pounds.

Counting 'Forgotten' Calories

You might forget about these nibbles but they soon mount up the calories…
4 oven chips pinched off your kid’s plate 48 calories
6 extra strong mints while stuck in a traffic jam 71 calories
1 leftover sausage in the fridge 135 calories
1 chicken nugget left on your child’s plate 37 calories
A sliver of cheese while you’re cooking 124 calories
A handful of peanuts in the pub 155 calories
A chocolate digestive at a work meeting 90 calories
Slice of birthday cake for your colleague’s birthday 294 calories
5 Maltesers from a friend’s packet 48 calories
6 crisps from the packet your child’s eating 65 calories
1tsp sugar in your coffee because you’d run out of sweetener 16 calories
Couple of swigs of cola from your partner’s can 40 calories
½ slice of toast with butter left by your child 82 calories
2 slices of leftover pepperoni from your husband’s pizza 48 calories
1tsp of peanut butter from the jar while waiting for your toast 30 calories
2tbsp pasta and tomato sauce left by your child 70 calories
Slice of ham from the fridge 30 calories
Two mouthfuls of your partner’s donner kebab 82 calories



Calorie Intake to lose FAT!

Sensible weight loss for healthy adults should start with a 500 calorie intake reduction from what the body requires. Then if progress halts for a week or so, calorie intake can be reduced by burning a further 200 calories. This way the body can slowly establish a new energy balance, rather than shocking the system into breaking down lean weight, which actually helps keep the metabolism high, meaning more calories can be burned!

It is also recommended that light exercises should be performed (with doctor/physician approval first), in order to increase calorie burning. Relying solely on diet to lose fat weight may lead to disappointment!

The calorie intake should never go below a 1200 calorie diet mark, and in most cases, should stay above 1500 calories.  Remember, with 3500 calories to each pound, losing stored fat will be a gradual process therefore, a reduction in calorie intake should be gradual too!


Exercise calorie counter by Chris Buskirk

The calorie counter shown below calculates how many calories you have burned depending on your weight and how many miles you have run. Health studies have shown that heavier people burn more calories when they are exercising, than lighter people. Hence the reason you need to type your current weight into the exercise calorie calculator below.
