5'10" and around 260 lbs. should I lose weight? I've been trying but all I do is lift...

Question

So I'm a senior in high school and I want to lose weight. Like badly. And I've stopped drinking soda and stopped eating all sugars and such like cakes and cookies and such. I drink nothing but milk or water. At school I have a weights class which I lift everyday 4 times a week. I don't know what else to do. Help?

Answer

I've heard mint, cucumber, and lemon detox water helps with body fat. So maybe you can try that.

Answer

make detox water, keep a huge pitcher of it in your fridge and drink THAT instead of soda or regular water. You'll drop allll your water-weight. other than that...
cardio, a healthy, SWIM, squat, maybe take some drop in dance classes if that sounds like something you'd enjoy. make going for a walk a daily habit.

Answer

You need to be in a calorie deficit in order to lose weight. In other words you need to burn more calories than you consume. Lifting is great for muscle growth and definition but for fat loss you need to do cardio or some kind of HIIT training to get your heart rate up and keep it there.

Answer

Sounds like you're doing a great job! Not sure how long it's been since you made those changes, but you may just need to give it time. Maybe also add on some extra walking!

Answer

milk has a lot of calories and sugars hide in almost everything. One cup of milk a day should be fine, but try not to do more than that. Try counting your calories so you know where to start.

Answer

Add in cardio. For me I can't lose weight with lifting I have to do cardio.
