Diet/exercise suggestions for someone trying to lose weight from home?
I just read a height-weight ratio chart, and I’m a whopping 65 lbs. above the target weight for my height…you don’t need to know any specific numbers. LOL!
Anyway, I was wondering what some of you might suggest for someone wanting to lose weight at home, and not at a fancy gym or anything. Are there any Diet specifics I should follow? An exercise routine I should adopt?
All help is appreciated!
If you don’t have a treadmill…..go to the local park or map out a walk that would be an easy 40min. walk, and do this 4-days per week on an empty stomach, this is called LISS(low intensity steady state), you will burn fat, and not use muscle to support the activity. For the other 3-days, get some dumbells….do 3-days of full-body workout, or do a 3-day body split of body parts….use trial and error, and on those 3-days walk 20 min LISS after you do your weights, NOT before…..because you need to build lean body mass(LBM), and burn up fat, not use your muscle to do the activity, never do cardio before weights. Have 6 smaller meals per day, so you have your metabolism humming along. You don’t need to eat perfect if you train with the above, just be sensible….plain burger with lettuce, baked potato, cheerios, eat something you really can’t go without once per day….so you stick with the change. Good luck!
