I have two months until my trip to china, with my chinese friend who keeps telling me her mom says she is fat now (she is 110 lbs and 5'5) So, since i'm going to china and im obviously going to stand out (im 5'9, 150 lbs) i want to lose some baby fat before i leave, because i DONT want to be known as the fat american friend. What should I use to lose this weight, because i have NO free time whatsoever (my school requires 4 hours of work a night, plus 80 hours community service a year, and 2 hour practices every day), i was thinking about diet pills but i need one that is not terrible for you, and that will help lose weight around the middle. (im also going to eat healthier)
thanks!, please help meee!
Answer:
DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS! They are dangerous!!Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills (Leptopril -does not contain ephedra) on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.
smoke, dont eat and dont sleep 4 days on end. and you could take caffeine pills and generally stop being lazy
Get a workout dvd. billy blanks tae bo is really good and you can get it for about two dollars off of ebay. it works your whole body, including your midsection. good luck and enjoy your trip!!!
Watching your diet will help, but exercise will help more. So walk to class and get up and move as much as you can.
Don't eat fast foods. Stay with yogurt, fruit and vegetables. Also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Enjoy your trip.
first of all your not overweight. and who cares what the people in CHINA think. im not saying that to be ignorant but you will see those people once in ur life and never ever again. just be confident in how u look and feel. but if ur that concerned then u will find time to eat right and work out.
