i am 5'4 and weigh 130 pounds.. I am not fat, but i have love handles and a pinch of fat above my tail bone..I dont want to starve myself... what should i do to lose them...I hope to get rid of this in 3 weeks to a month i would like to lose approxmately 7-10 pounds..How many calories should i eat and how many should i try to burn? what kind of excercise should i do..?
Answer:
This should really be in Diet %26 Fitness, but basically if you eat healthy and exercise regularly, the fat on your body should reduce.
You can't lose weight just in one spot, but doing cardio exercises and eating less calories will cause fat to burn from all over your body. To tone up a particular area, do exercises (such as ab and oblique exercises for tummy/sides) that target the area you want to firm up.
You can lose 1 - 10 lbs in a month if you are diligent. Put your calorie intake at around 1500 - 1600 a day (lean meat, fruits and veggies, complex carbs, and drink lots of water) and exercise at least 5 days a week (shoot for 1 hr a day if you can).
Once you hit your goal, keep up the healthy eating (just increase your calories a bit so you don't continue to lose) and keep up with the exercise so you'll stay fit!
Good luck!
okay, well all i can tell you is what worked for me, I am still working with my love handles, but they are not as big, I exercise on a stepper for 30 or more minutes a day, the first week i dropped like three lbs, and kept losing till i had lost 10 lbs, and well the last 6 lbs or the 16 i have lost, have been one lb a week. I also, quit eating red meat, no i am not a vegan, but the diet is close to that. I eat a fruit for breakfast, only drink water or green tea(they make good flavors), any snack is strictly fruit or veggie, lunch is a salad, and dinner well usually a salad and some veggies, i eat raw food as much as possible, no red meat, and if i do have meat it is fish, every great once in a while it is chicken. I don't have set time for my work out but have red that morning is best, and i do NOT eat any sugar, other than what is naturally in my fruits and veggies. You can throw in a few, and i do mean a limited amount of wheat crackers but know that you are getting carbs from your fruits, they are good carbs. Do not starve yourself, or the weight will come back faster and it will be more than you lost. If you need protein eat nuts, like almonds. the fish will also give you protein. Your energy will boost with this and if you have the time, spend it doing something productive.
Good luck.
