How to Lose Weight Without Counting Calories
Recommended Answer:
I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatlosssfactorr.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.Other Answers:
- 8 hrs
- At least 7 hrs, no more than 9hrs.
- most people are good enough with 6-8 hours of sleepafter that its really not necessarydont worry about it
- I'm not sure if you packed, picked or plucked…“Until you puked”?!? (like throw up, vomit?).When you eat your high carbs pre-workout meal, make sure to wait about 2 hours before your session as you cannot exercise properly, easily and efficiently if your stomach is still digesting food. Also eat healthy because junk food might linger longer in your stomach. If you're burping fast food 3 hours after eating it, then you might consider bending over a toilet unless you're willing to deal with it tomorrow the other way.You lost 30 pounds while lifting weights?I don't get that either as young males usually GAIN 5 pounds of mmm (muscle mass a month) lifting weights using gym weight machines.Maybe you gain 15 pounds of muscle mass and lost 45 pounds of body fat??But that would take longer than 2-3 months if you don't want to mess up your metabolism.Do not run if you weigh 235lbs. Mind your joints. Even jogging is high impact and one knee joint (ankle and hip too) has to handle twice your body size when you land…that would be 470 pounds in your case.You would need knee surgery before you get to be 40yo (like heavy American football players).You can power walk (speed walking) and always keep one foot on the ground so it's low impact.Your need for sleep would depend on your age like teens would need about 8.5 to 9.5 hours while adults need 7 to 9 hours.As long as you don't feel like a yawning zombie during the day and you're not using caffeine (a stimulant drug that will mess up your sleeping pattern for sure) to stay alert, you're fine.I cannot tell you “lie down and sleep 8 hours”…it does not work that way.When I was 16yo up to my 20s and a night owl, I slept 6 hours/night from 2am to 8am (I got a 9 to 6 job) then would go “round the clock” (12 hours) on the weekend.When I had kids and having to take care of a family and a house, my head would “hit the pillow” and I'd fall asleep right away by 11pm.I divorced my husband who was pissed off because I was like “you can have sex with me, just don't wake me up”.I could not even say that, I hit the pillow, I'm gone and he's saying something to me but I'm sleeping so he blames me for ignoring him.He could have done better like taking me out for dinner to get me in the mood or even just taking the trash out ONCE in 25 years…or, I don't know…cooking or cleaning something.Now I have a polyphasic sleep pattern (you sleep several times a day, some periods of sleep are called “naps” or “siesta”) which is the natural pattern of human sleep (like cats) before humans discovered electricity, made light bulbs to provide light at night AND don't get me started on late night TV, infomercials and going online at all hours…The polyphasic sleep pattern helps regulate stress…mostly because you don't get stressed out when you only sleep 3 or 4 hours at a time as you'll sleep again 3 or 4 hours later on so you don't think you're having insomnia waking up at 3am and thinking that you need some addictive meds.Teens often have a polyphasic sleep pattern and get branded as having some disorder or syndrome like a circadian rhythm disorder or an irregular sleep-wake syndrome.I volunteer in schools in the US to expose students to foreign languages (French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Russian…). I don't have any teaching credentials; I'm just a French person living in the US and some students are curious and have questions (please, don't ask me how to French kiss! Do you really have to learn how to stick out your tongue in someone's mouth?).I do a class but I don't grade anything or give homework just answer questions.Some students are asleep, some are texting…I tell them it's nap time, unlike toddlers in a daycare center, they don't even get a mat on the floor, more like just getting their head down on their desk (!) and only the ones interested in the French language and culture and they had a good night sleep should stay awake to ask me questions. Then I get 45 minutes of interacting with a handful of curious students, feeling like I'm enriching their lives somehow, white the rest of the class is having a nap.When you're a freshman in college, you should know how to spell "freshman" and "lose".
