  1. wo 3 hrs of exercise a day is a way to much to much exercise is bad.it can make you sick (body pain and blah). you  need exercise a day for about 25 to 30 min.eating fruits,vegetables,oats has no probs at all!

    you have to reduce fish,a cup of tea is ok.

    fruits and vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases. Compared with people who consume a diet with only small amounts of fruits and vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts as part of a healthful diet are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke and perhaps other cardiovascular diseases, and certain cancers.


  2. No, the problem is that you keep failing because you're abusing your body.

    Eating less than 1000 calories a day is dangerous and should only be done with a doctor's supervision. Calories don't just go towards exercise and fat, you know. They also have to run the rest of your body, including your brain! People on extreme diets can suffer a variety of mental and physical side effects... like self-harming.

    Bodies come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Different people have different metabolism. It's mostly genetic. If you try to push your body far outside the range of what's "normal" for your genes, you will make yourself sick, and your body will try to return to "normal". Crash diets slow your metabolism way down and can make you end up gaining more weight than you lost as your body tries to repair itself from what you're doing to it. Worse, the more you use willpower and working-hard to force your body into doing dangerous and painful things, the more out of touch you get with your own body's signals, which can give you long term health problems.

    Find a safe, sane, sustainable amount of exercise that you can do and keep doing. 3 hours a day is probably a bit much. Try 2. Stick with it, and pay attention to how your body is feeling, NOT how much you weigh. Most people can lose about 20 pounds if they try. But even if you don't lose weight, if you exercise in a sane way, you'll do good things for your health.

  3. I think that you are doing fine,may i suggest something that will definitely help you,if you go on the treadmill start of with a brisk walk for 1 min,then up the speed and run for 1min,then slow the speed down and then walk for another min,if you keep on doing this you will confuse your body and will loose more weight and body fat.
