Anyone have any advice on how to speed up weight loss? I am working out.. (running) 3 days a week.. anyone have advice I am only donw 39 lbs in 7 months

hi. How many calories are you eating? Are you driking enough water? Have you had your fills?

Had fills but havent hit my sweet spot. I havent been writing down calories but I have a feeling I might be eating to many carbs. How many calories does everyone else eat?

So far today I have had eggs with bacon and chesse, Cottage cheese with bacon.. and thats it!

umm...i can tell you what i did that helped me.

I signed up for Weight Watchers online and just in the past week it helped me loose 3 lbs. I was snacking so much and eventhough i thought i was eating little, i really was not at all.

also, if I eat carbs (only good ones of course) I eat them at lunch or Breakfast. For dinner only veggies and lean Protein.

And I stop eating afte 6:30-7 about 4 hours before i go to bed.

Drink lots of Water.

I have 2 cheat meals a week.

Hope you get there

Thank you! I may just join weight watchers now!

The bodybugg really helped me keep track of my food and excerise...it has awesome reports. Very motivating!!

I would work out five or six days a week. It really takes a good 45 minutes a day, or even an hour. If you dont want to run those days, do something interval based, like circuit training or if you want to swim or do something steady like that, mix round two of your runs to be interval style runs where you mix fast, slow and all out sprints.

The circuit training can be good as its a great way to get body weight exercises in to meet your strength training needs whilst also including lots of cardio. I think that's the key, lasting healthy weight loss requires strength training to protect and increase lean body mass, but weight loss overall requires tons of cardio. Three days a week is fantastic, but its more the required level for general health, your weight loss will benefit from five or six days a week.

My only advice is watch those carbs. All calories are not created equal.

And, insulin converts almost half of your dietary carbohydrate to fat for storage. If you want to use more fats for energy, the insulin response must be moderated.

Diets high in refined sugars release more insulin thereby allowing less stored fat to be burned. High insulin levels also suppress two important hormones: glucagon and growth hormone. Glucagon promotes the burning of fat and sugar. Growth hormone is used for muscle development and building new muscle mass.

Insulin also causes hunger. As blood sugar increases following a carbohydrate meal, insulin rises with the eventual result of lower blood sugar. This results in hunger, often only a couple of hours (or less) after the meal.

Cravings, usually for sweets, are frequently part of this cycle, leading you to resort to snacking, often on more carbohydrates. Not eating makes you feel ravenous shaky, moody and ready to "crash." If the problem is chronic, you never get rid of that extra stored fat, and your energy is adversely affected.

I can tell you that in the last 3 weeks since I've had restriction, I've been eating far less carbs (Pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.) because I'm pretty full after eating my Protein and vegies. I think I've lost something on the order of 10 or 12 pounds in that time...the last 6 in the last week when I had the best restriction. I'm eating about 1200-1400 calories per day so carbs are the key to fast weight loss.

Six years ago I lost 70 pounds in 5 months doing Atkins. The only carbs I ate were the minimal amounts found in green vegies. It's not a way I'd care to eat the rest of my life, but it works for fast weight loss.
