Hi, I m sujatha I do not hav any physical cpmliance. I m weighing around 80 kg and my age is 32. i want to reduce my weight atleast by 15 to 20 kgs. My life style is sedentrary one. morning i leave to office by 7 and return home by 8 or 9. so not able to go for work outs. Can i try positrim or herbalife just for few months say about 4 months to reduce my weight. Will there be any side efffects if i use it for short period .
To reduce weight the first and most important thing is you should be motivated and confidence that weight can be reduced.
You should put sustained effort, weight gain occurs over a time and it will be lost over a time. Half Kg. per week or 2-3 Kg. per month is a good rate of loss.
Excess tea, excess juices, excess snacks, excess social events, free food etc. and cut on that. To reduce weight a cut in diet to nearly half of current diet is required to make any significant effect.
I advice you not to skip meals and especially not the breakfast. Divide total food intake into 3-4 small meals. Take lot of water, 20-30 glasses of water per day. Green salad will help.
Exercise is a very important component for fitness and activity. But for exercise to be able to reduce weight it has be moderately intense like 30-40 minutes of brisk walking. It has to be sustained that is at least 5 days a week. The increase in hunger due to exercise has to be controlled. No amount of exercise can reduce weight without appropriate diet control.
I advice you follow this methods first and if they dont help then you can think of heblife or any other stuff.
hi sujatta....weight loss is an outcome of exercise and a good diet.. i suggest start with brisk walks/ jog for 1 hour daily.. eat healthy small meals every 2-3 hours to increase your metabolism.. have idli/ poha/ oats upma for breakfast.. fruits, nuts, sprouts and egg whites as mid meals.. salads with lunch and dinner..keep dinner light by avoiding carbs like rotis/ rice.. have soups, salads, veggies/ non veg.. drink lot of water..all this will help you cut down on weight..avoid any such drink for the time being..be positive..
