Answer: You have to stop looking at is as "I want to be lazy and somehow make myself skinny, and SOMEHOW I think that a lazy person like me DESERVES to be skinny, or is CAPABLE of being skinny"..... and start looking at it as "I DONT CARE what my weight is. I only care about 2 things: Eating the HEALTHIEST FOODS that I POSSIBLY CAN, and eat them as spread out during the day in as many small meals as I can..... and exercising my a*ss off and increasing and bettering my athletic performance, so I become the best athlete and in the best shape, that I can possibly be." =============== Stop looking at it as "I want to lose WEIGHT." start looking at it is "I want to lose INCHES, I want to get a LOWER FAT PERCENTAGE, I want to get a HIGHER STRENGTH PER POUND OF MUSCLE RATIO, etc.!!! ================= With that said: Let me go over the basics of losing weight to you: 1) you lose weight based on how much you exercise, and how fast your metabolism is, and HOW HEALTHY you eat. 2) HOW MUCH you eat has NOTHING to do with how much weight you gain. For example, 2500 calories would make SOME PEOPLE gain ALOT of weight, and it would make SOME PEOPLE be practically starving and weak, and lose weight unhealthily fast! 3) Therefore, the key is to eat about the same amount of calories you eat about now. I'd say maybe cut 50 calories AT THE MOST from what you're eating. And instead of worrying about CALORIES, change WHAT you eat! Only eat the healthiest, nutrient-rich foods, and don't eat any unhealthy foods. If you do this, and exercise intensely, you will lose weight continually, until you are in optimal, slim, cut, toned athletic shape. You feel me? =========================== 4) OK, you're probably thinking "hmm i get it.. but what exactly makes a food healthy?" Good question, aquato! The key is to eat only whole wheats, grains, oats, rye, granola, sesame, and stuff like that for breads.... tuna, fish, chicken, turkey, deer, eggs, and protein shakes for meat food group..... vegetables and fruits they are ALL GOOD, just make sure you have a variety and abundance of both, and TRY to buy organic- IF YOU CAN! and MAKE SURE they are fresh, not frozen or anything like that!.... dairy group, have WHOLE MILK, and regular yogurt. cheese should be eaten sparingly, as it constipates you slightly... thus slowing down your metabolism. ======================= Source(s): 5) Don't eat any fast food, junk food, artificial food, frozen food, microwaved food, junk cereals, processed food, school food, candy, soda, carbonated beverages, caffeinated ANYTHING, any drugs (even OTC drugs!), syrup, dressing, etc. 6) To speed up metabolism.... ah, yes- THAT is the answer to LIFE! But how do you do that? ...Let me tell you. A) eat a hot pepper with dinner 3-4 times a week. make it one you can BARELY stand. as you increase tolerance, up the pepper after awhile. B) eat 6-7 smaller meals a day, instead of 3-4 bigger ones. C) EAT A GIANT BREAKFAST! D) still eat later in the day, just LIMIT CARBS at night, of course, and have more proteins... this builds muscle during sleep, which will increase metabolism. E) the more meat you eat, the more muscle you have, which burns fat and increases metabolism, as well! F) aside from the 6-7 smaller meals a day, always have a healthy snack with you to be munching on if you get hungry, at all times. G) CHEW YOUR FOOD REALLY WELL!!!!! H) drink a cup of prune juice about once every 10 days. will clean your colon out, and crap out any unnecessary foods... speeds up metabolism, too. I) concentrate on food, enjoy food, and don't feel guilty. J) NEVER OVEREAT, AND NEVER UNDEREAT. ALWAYS eat what you need- nothing more, nothing less. either of those are signs of either disorders or lack of self-control. lastly, and most importantly..... K) EXERCISEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you know that exercise speeds up metabolism and burns fat/calories/carbs for up to 45 minutes AFTER you've finished a HARD (notice the word "hard") work-out?? ============================ 7) How do you work out? Hmmmm... easy. You want to change it up. You should be working TO YOUR MAX about 2-3 hours a day... AT LEAST 2 hours a day. lol Run sprints one day, and do long distance (2mile run) the next. lift lower body weights one day, and upper body the next. (do reps of 12-15 for legs, 18-25 for upper body) do upper body endurance one day (punching bag, or upper body rowing) and do upper body sprints the next day (clap pushups, speed pull-ups, and other upper body plyometrics) do hard, high-weight, low-rep ab/core work with weights one day, and then endurance/cardio/speed/circuit ab/core work the next day. this should be about 20 minutes of yoru workout. Source(s): Hope this helps!!! =) and puts things in perspective! =) best answer please!

Question: Can I get fit without being a calorie counter? Hi! I am 5'5 and 139lbs. I am looking to get fit and tone some areas of my body (hips, backside, and thighs). I do pilates 5 days a week and already my abs are looking great (its been about 4 weeks). I am about to bump my exercise up to pilates 5 days a week + running 45mins 3 days a week. I eat a pretty healthy diet - fresh fruit and vegetables daily, no soda and lots of water, fast food once a week or less, no red meat, lots of fish, etc. But I do have a soft spot for grains, cereal, bread, etc. However, I am not interested in being a calorie counter! I want to exercise to tone and get fitter but I am not interested in counting calories everyday. Is it possible that I can continue eating a relatively healthy diet without counting calories and still tone my body? Thanks!

Answer: Yes I beleive you can. Maybe you can try some kind of circut training a few times a week. I go to Curves and I lost 17lbs in 3 months and you eat a lot healthier than me. I think the combination of strength training and cardio are great. Check out curves.com and you can see what it's all about.

Question: How accurate is a treadmill's calorie counter? I usually go on the treadmill for an hour a day at 3.00 miles per hour. By the time I finish, the calorie counter on the treadmill says that I burned 400 calories. How accurate is this reading? Many of you guys have been bringing up it asking for weight and height. Unfortunately, my treadmill doesn't ask for weight and height.

Answer: if you dont input your weight and height then it is usually based on a person who weighs 150 lbs so that could be very inaccurate.so if its one with a way to set if for you then its better but can still be off because it really dont know how much muscle mass you have and muscle is what burns calorie so i would say within about 50 calories up or down from 400.

Question: Where can I find a good, free calorie counter? I'm 13, and I want a calorie counter that has so many foods, and is free and accurate. I just tried one, and it didn't have food sorted by brands, so it was always off by like 30 calories, and they didn't even have Kashi crackers listed! I need something that I can register to, put my foods in, and enjoy. So help?

Answer: at 13 you dont need to count your calories that accurately, if you're off by 10-15% it's ok. (unless you have diabetes and then need to work with a dietician). the best way to track what you eat is by writing it down. write it down after every meal, and calculate the calories consumed in each meal. most products have the caloric content written on the package. this will also help you get used to doing these calculations without relying on computers and other machines.

Question: What is a good free online calorie counter? There are so many websites with calorie counters. What is a really good one, that won't eventually charge you? Sometimes, some websites are hard to navigate and I'm having a hard time finding a good one. Thanks!

Answer: www.fitday.com. It tracks the calories plus the fat, protein and carbs and breaks them down into percentages/grams. It also tracks your daily workouts and your weight gain/loss. I love it!

Question: I have an elliptical machine, and I was wondering if the calorie counter is correct? I'm a 13 year old girl and I was wondering if the calorie counter on my elliptical machine is giving correct counting results. I normally run on the elliptical machine for 20 minutes a day at 21.3 km per hour (as it records). It says that I burn off 800 calories. Is that true? Thanks for your help! (:

Answer: That seems excessively high for 20 mins of exercise...here's what I found for you: "General Estimates of Calories Burned with An Elliptical Trainer: 150 pound woman, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 387 calories 180 pound man, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 464 - 550 calories 120 pound woman, 30 minutes of elliptical exercise: 310 calories"

Question: Can someone point me a good online calorie counter? I'm trying to count the calories I eat to lose some weight, but I don't know any good calorie counters... Can someone please give me some advise on that?

Answer: www.sparkpeople.com This is an excellent website, you enter your weight goal and the date you wish to achieve your goal by, and it will give you the number of calories, carbs, protein etc. that you need to consume in order to achieve your goal in that time frame. There is also a recipe forum, fitness forum, basically all the support you could want as well as it gives you the ability to track your calories burned through activity etc. You can even get a personalized diet plan. Best part is, it's free.

Question: Where is the best UK online calorie counter? Hello Im trying to shed a few pounds and need an online calorie counter that will tell me portion sizes to exactly what most people would eat. ie tsp of butter - 50 calories and tsp of honey - 50 calories etc. cos its a pain when they dont tell you the right amounts. Can anyone help with any links please? Much appreciated - thanks

Answer: hi clare, i diet too...its MUCH easier to start by reducing the number of foods you consume. i have 4 pieces of toast with butter for breakfast (or a mug of tea and hold off til afternoon for toast) when im feeling needy i may add spreads..marmite is great. jam etc is a real treat around 5 i have a small bowl of porridge, a teaspoon of sugar reduced jam if i need flavor and lots of water/tea and a small intake of coffee. later in the evening i have a big plate of salad. lots of pasta, a little chicken sometimes, beans, peas etc, be creative. once a week (saturday) i have a proper meal but stay focused on being healthy. fish is a good choice. and i exercise an hour a day im doing this deliberately so that i use up more calories in the day than i eat. this way, each day i lose weight. in the first week, a kilo a day!! (it's slowed now) the point is, it doesnt matter how many calories you eat, just so long as you burn more than you eat, you'll lose weight. my chosen method just about keeps me from getting hunger pangs, and allows me to minimise on the amount of exercise required so im not hungry and im not exhausted and i am eating but i am losing weight fast. clear any other food out of the house if possible and you don't even need to count calories then.
