Answer 1

I am doing this for 5 days... It WORKS!

This is one of natures most under rated foods, yet its importance should not be ignored. So what is this food?

APPLES!

Read on and you will see just how good they are for you and how they can help lose weight when incorporated in ANY diet.

Apples why they help you lose weight!

It is also well known to farmers that apples should NOT be fed to their pigs, as it satisfies them, and they eventually will not gain the desired weight.

This “secret” also applies to people, and not only will the apple help a dieter lose weight, it has amazing health benefits as you will see below.

Apples are full of goodness and protect against disease

Continuing research suggests that eating apples regularly may reduce the risk of various cancers, such as colon, prostate, and lung. Furthermore, eating apples regularly appear to aid those with heart disease and cholesterol problems.

But that is not all.

There is a group of chemicals in apples could protect the brain from the type of damage that triggers such neurodegenerative diseases as Alzheimer's and senile dementia.

Amazingly the apple phenolics (naturally occurring antioxidants) and found in fresh apples, protects nerve cells from neurotoxicity. An apple a day can indeed, “keep the doctor away”.

A Fantasitc source of fibre to satisfy hunger

In dieting however, the apple appears unequaled as a source of dietary fiber, moisture, micro-nutrients, vitamins (see table at end of this article), and its flavor is well-known to be satisfying as to assist with our appostat reaction (the neurological reaction that tells our body to STOP eating).

The secret is simple, effective, safe and beneficial beyond your expectations.

You will eat less, you will see the kilos melt away, and your health will improve.

Further, from the Materia Medica, it is stated that the apple is a heart protector, it lowers blood cholesterol due to its pectin content, it lowers blood pressure; it regulates blood sugar; and apple juice kills infectious viruses; strengthens the nerves; acts as liver tonifier and a blood purifier.

No other fruit has so many qualities.

More than that, natural remedies (since recorded history) suggest that eating apples can cure (or assist the body to cure) the following:

jaundice and other bilious conditions, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation; atherosclerosis, hypotension; gout, arthritis; skin eruptions; anemia and lymphatic system disorders.

For the dieter, this is the ideal food.

Answer 2

cardio is always good for you. Try doing HITT it worked great for me. There is no need to do more than 25 min. It beats running for 40 min by far.  Youll also want to do some weight work out staring at 2 or 3 times a week. Start doing full body workouts you should be able to find a good totall body work out on the net.

*WIth HITT you will not over work your self like you might by doing full run or jog for 20-40 min like most people.

* With HITT you should stay in you target hart range.

*you will burn more calories from fat while preserving muscle

Combine this with a good diet and you will max out your fat loss.  I have a good diet but let me find it and I will post it....actually diet is not a good word for it because it not a thing full  of gimmics and c**p it just a way to manage the food you eat.

Check you this link you might want to put this to work latter on.

but here is a good idea of what I eat but I will need to be adjusted to your lifestyle, activaty, weight, etc...it not some fad diet but a way to manage what you eat.  at the end of the day if you eat less cal than what you burn you WILL lose weight.  this link if for  YOUR cal intake http://weightloss.about.com/od/eatsmart/...

I weight about 210which means I must eat about 2500 cal a day to maintain weight. To cut fat I drop down to 1900 cal a day, eating every 2 or 3 hours. , Every meal revolving around protein. I only eat complex carbs, no refined carbs (ex look at the ingredients in bread if it is enriched or bleached then it is not 100% wheat) I also don’t eat carbs after2 o’clock.

Breakfast Cereal with low fat milk and Low cal protein shake( muscle milk light or gold standard whey)

mid morning snake" Nuts of some sort, or maybe some cheese( I can’t think of other good snakes right now)

Lunch: Sandwich with 100%whole wheat bread veggies and some kind of meat with low % fat (you want to stay away from fat) keep it blow say 10% or even lower when it comes to meat

Mid afternoon snack ( some kind of snack loaded with protein like nuts or another protein shake if you can handle that)

Dinner ( don’t eat a big dinner) Lean source of protein like chicken, lean ground beef, top sirloin steak,

bedtime if you go to bed around 10 and need a snack eat some low fat cottage cheese around 9 or so

I think this diet can get you started but you need to find out what cal intake you need. There are web sites that can assist with that according to your weight and activity level
