How often should you work out to lose weight?
by Heather Smith on Monday, April 19th, 2010 | 9 Comments
I want to lose 15-20 pounds. And I work out for half an hour 6 days a week. Is this enough for weight loss?
Along with dieting of course.
To lose weight you just need to burn more than you eat, it is as simple as that.
Putting it into practice is more difficult than saying it of course but knowing this simple fact ensures that if you take even one small step towards losing weight at least you take it in the right direction and not the wrong one like many do,.,…

That sounds great. You could always mix it up a bit and extend your exercise sessions to say like one hour, 3 times a week so your body doesn’t get used to routine. What type of exercise are you doing? Don’t forget that your diet is just as important as the exercise itself, maybe even more important. So try drink lots of water (defo easier said than done), cut out any fizzy drinks, sweets and chocolate, but make sure you don’t cut it out completely or you’re more likely to binge because of the cravings. You could also try strength training on days of rest, so you don’t have to do cardio everyday. This will help strengthen muscles for when you do your cardio and will also increase your metabolic rate as muscle is metabolically active so you burn more calories even at rest. Good luck

Take The Stairs Taking the stairs instead of the elevator every day can help you burn some extra calories. It may not seem like a lot but it adds up. Over a period of a year, taking the stairs can burn off an extra five lbs. of fat.

I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.
1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.
2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.
3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.
4. Don’t weigh yourself more than once a week
5. Take starting measurements as well as weight – sometimes you’ll lose inches before pounds
6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks
7. Don’t compare your loss to someone else’s – this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)
8. Stalls are common around the third week so don’t panic
9. If you follow your plan to the T and don’t lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food
10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison
11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts – make sure your doctor knows that you’re doing low carb and when you started
12. Don’t blame the diet if you don’t read your plan book — blame the diet if you don’t read the labels — Don’t blame the diet if you don’t follow the diet

Weight loss is a tricky topic. Lots of people are unhappy with their present weight, but most aren’t sure how to change it – and many would be better off staying where they are. You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines and on TV, but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you. Besides, no magical diet or pill will make you look like someone else.
So what should you do about weight control?
Hope this can help u.
