Answer:
I have the ability to easily lose 2 lb a week through diet and exercise - no weird pills, no weird acai berry stuff. Just eat right and get 30-60 minutes of exercise a day. Your diet sounds pretty good. Add more veggies - they’re very low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals.
You can easily lose 7 lb in 2 months.
Answer:
Seriously hun, if you wanna lose 5-7lbs in 2 months, you're completely gonna do that. I have the ability to lose 2lbs a week and don't walk the 3.5 miles, no where near!
For toning, just spend 15-20 minutes every night doing sit ups, push ups, and crunches. The ideal thing to do is start with 10 minutes for a few days, and then add a minute each day. And it's ideal to do these exercises at night, just before bed!
Okay, well how fast you lose weight all depends on how much you weigh at the moment. For example, if you were obese then you'd lost weight a lot faster than someone who is an average weight, or just slightly overweight.
It's pretty easy to lose a stone in a few months. For example, I have lost 18lbs since the beginning of January, which is 1 stone and 4lbs.
There are simple easy things you've gotta do which is using less butters and oils whilst cooking, and cutting down on that odd chocolate bar you might have once each few days. Eventually, after a few weeks, aim to not snack at all. Yep, it's really hard but you've gotta try hard, so think of something that’ll really motivate you, like thinking about what you could look like after a few months if you stay away from bad foods, and if you do eat it, how bad you'll feel after. Don’t EVER eat after 7pm. If you really wanna be good then don't eat after 6pm. But 7pm is the complete latest. It doesn't matter how healthy the snack is, don't eat it. The only thing going into your mouth after 7pm is water.
You should also drink lots of water in the day. Usually, when your stomache is telling your brain you're hungry, you're just thirsty!
Exercising is a lot easier than people make out. I do aerobics in my bedroom and it's simple. Just get an iPod or MP3 and move! Even have a tiny dance around. Or, if you don't have an iPod or MP3 player, play music out loud. Whatever you select to do, just move!
I also go on a 20 minute walk each day. Remember that even a little bit of exercise is better than no exercise.
Then of course, do the simple things that'll burn even just a few calories. For example, if you get a bus often, then walk to the next stop and then get on the bus, or if the journey isn't that far, walk the whole way. If you drive to a lot of places then park further away from your destination and walk. During lunch breaks go for a little walk, even if it's just for 15 mintues, it's superior than nothing.
Chew gum. It'll keep your mind and mouth focused on something other than food, and if you buy an pricey gum, then you'll feel guilty about just throwing it in the bin, and you'll try and get as many chews as you can from it. I understand about eating from boredom, so try and find something really fun to do while you're at home!
Good luck, and feel free to email me if you need any more tips!
