Proven Ways to Lose Weight Quickly and Naturally
Proven Ways to Lose Weight Quickly and Naturally
Losing weight requires major lifestyle changes, including diet
and nutrition, exercise, and behavior modification. Once you
have made up your mind to lose weight, you should make that
commitment and go into it with a positive attitude. We all know
that losing weight can be quite a challenge. It takes time,
practice and support to change lifetime habits. But it’s a
process you must learn in order to succeed.
1. Change Your Eating Habits – To be successful at losing
weight, you need to change your lifestyle and not just go on a
diet. This requires cutting back on the number of calories you
eat by eating smaller amounts of foods and choosing foods lower
in calories. It also means being more physically active.
Consider limiting portion sizes, especially of foods high in
calories, such as cookies, cakes and other sweets; fried foods,
like fried chicken and french fries; and fats, oils, and
spreads. Reducing dietary fat alone without reducing calories
will not produce weight loss.
2. Increase Physical Activity – Most health experts recommend a
combination of a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical
activity for weight loss.
In addition to helping to control weight, physical activity
decreases the risk of dying from coronary heart disease and
reduces the risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, and
certain cancers. Researchers also have found that daily physical
activity may help a person lose weight by partially lessening
the slow-down in metabolism that occurs during weight loss.
Exercise does not have to be strenuous to be beneficial. And
some studies show that short sessions of exercise several times
a day are just as effective at burning calories and improving
health as one long session. Look at the exercising aspect of
your program as fun and recreation and not as a form of grueling
and sweaty work.
To lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight after weight
loss, many adults will likely need to do more than 30 minutes of
moderate to intensive physical activity daily.
Doctors now say that walking is one of the best exercises. It
helps the total circulation of blood throughout the body, and
thus has a direct effect on your overall feeling of health.
There are things such as aerobics, jogging, swimming and many
other exercises which will benefit a weight loss program.
Discuss the options with your doctor and take his advice in
planning your exercise and weight loss program.

Techniques for Eating Lots of Food?
I have a special predicament.
I’m an extreme ectomorph (5’8 weigh 111 lb) who’s trying to create a successful weight gain and muscle building regiment for myself. My goal is to gain lots of weight because I really lack confidence by being so skinny and bony.
I recently made another post on here on yahoo answers exclaiming how irritated I was. You can read it here if you would like:

I currently weight life and also try consuming approximately 2800 calories a day.
My problem is with eating. From everything I’ve read my main problem is I have an extremely fast metabolism and require an excessive amount of calories to gain weight. The traditional advice from many weight training people has been to consume lots and lots of calories. These suggestions range from 2800 to 5000.
My problem with these suggestions are that from personal experience they’ve proven very difficult and unrealistic to follow in the real world. Consuming 5000 calories or even 2800 calories looks perfectly fine when it’s calculated out on paper but I find it to eat in the the real world. Also I’ve been told that instead of eating 3 large meals I should eat 6 smaller meals. Again my problem with eating 6 meals instead of 3 is it’s unrealistic in the real world. I currently work a part time job and on long days will work 2 4-hour shifts. I work retail on a sales floor and am not allowed or able to eat while working except on my 1 hour lunch. If there are people out there who truly eat 6 meals a day I don’t see how they do it with activities such as jobs getting in the way.
My other predicament is I naturally have an extremely low appetite. On average I’m only hungry enough to eat at the very most 400 calories at one time. Sometimes I can push myself to eat larger meals like a 900 calorie pizza or a 1100 calorie weight supplement shake but my problem is I can’t eat these things quickly. It may take me between 1 hour and 3 hours to consume a 900 calorie pizza or 1100 calorie shake. And when I try eating faster I experience a gag effect and throw up.
I also have difficulty retaining weight. If I’m on a weight lifting program and am unable to reach a full 2800 calories every day I end up losing between 1-3 lb per a day.
As you can see I have a lot of things going against me:
[1] Ectomorphic Genetics.
[2] Job schedule ect conflicting with diet schedule.
[3] Naturally low appetite.
[4] Tendency to lose 1 lb per a day on missed calorie days.
So basically I’m wondering if there’s any techniques for eating large amounts of food in a short period of time that actually work in the real world with real world schedule constraints. Any techniques on eating are appreciated.
edit: Forgot to add I’m a 21 year old male.
Eat stuff that tastes good? I dunno man.

go see your doctor

eat healthy, put your calories (food) in a lunchbox or on the table and determine yourself to eat the food that you are supposed to
References :
1) so are most people
2) everyone has a job/school schedule, sneak food like the rest of us
3) suck it up and force it down, make shakes if you have to/eat calorie dense foods
4) you cant be losing 1lb per day, water weight is like 5 lbs everyday
eat fast food if you have to, you need 4k imo, throw stuff in the blender, it’s an easy 1k for 2 glasses of liquid, fast food can get up to 1k for a normal meal, lotta people use fast food for high calories, it’s unhealthy in the longrun, but if you’re lifting big, you’ll make legit gain, there aren’t really any special secrets other than suck it up and comprimise until you get used to it tbh
