A mile a day and no result!?!

Question

So recently I've been super unhappy with my legs and stomach and so I decided to begin skipping my lunch at school and run a mile at our gym instead. This is the second week of doing this and I'm seeing no results!!! ANY HELP PLEASE!! Please answer why this is happening and what I can do to get a toned stomach and smaller thighs 😶😶

Answer

I used to skip lunch all the time, but I was getting no where. So I started eating healthier, not much of a diet just eating better. Run your mile and add some weights, maybe a little squats, and crunches. Thats my basic routine and it actually helps a lot with toning.

Answer

You still have to eat because to be able to work out you need energy, calories are actually a good thing but you have to make sure to use them and to eat healthy instead of reaching for that ice cream in the fridge get an apple or any fruit! Do it long enough and believe me it becomes easy to make the decisions, does that mean cut out ice cream or any junk food entirely? No! But keep it to a limit hope this helps

Answer

Well, first off, don't skip lunch. If you don't eat before working out your body will burn muscle instead of fat. Same as if you don't eat after working out.

Answer

Cutting out meals is the worst thing to do when trying to loose weight. Besides the fat storing issues already mentioned, eating 5 or 6 small meals a day will keep you matabolism burning constant. That prevents storage because your system is constantly working on the utrients already there. Eat a good breakfast then a small snack half way thru the morning. I eat a healthy breakfast of eggs or healthy cereal and yogurt. Then I have an apple half way thru the morning. Have a good lunch then another snack half way thru the afternoon. Eat a lean hearty dinner and small snack a few hrs before bed. This will also boost your energy levels and help with the workout. These some steps have been the beginning layout of every diet I've ever seen. I've lost over 15 lbs in a month following that. Good luck and eat healthy now while you're young. It will pay off later in life!!!

Answer

At school? How old are you? Do NOT skip meals. ESPECIALLY if you're very young and still growing! It can make you gain weight too! Eat healthy, low calorie meals frequently and create a caloric deficit daily, you can get an app to easily track the calories in any food. If you create a caloric deficit of 500cal per day, you'll lose a pound in one week. You shouldn't be losing more than 1-2 pounds a week (or you're highly likely to gain it back) and you'll need to stick with a better fitness program much longer to see results. Do more than just cardio (try strength training, yoga, etc) and educate yourself on nutrition and healthy body shapes and weights.

Answer

You need to add weights to your workout to get toned. I suggest getting a workout band. You can use it to tone your arms and legs. It cost like $20 at Target.

Answer

I ran 300 miles this summer. I'm not by any means thinner. I lost fat, sure. I'm more toned and healthier. Healthier is the most important factor. Not size. One mile a day won't change anything. Slowly increase your distance per week. It took me all summer to get to 20 miles a week ( 4-6 miles x 4 days/week). Cutting out food altogether is the biggest no no in the world for your health and for weight loss.

Answer

If possible eat smaller meals throughout the day break up your intake so you don't spike your blood sugar. Running is fantastic but not at the sacrifice of eating your body will find the energy from the places you don't want it to come from. If possible try adding other exercise as well stretching will feel amazing and help to lengthen you muscles to keep you from getting "bulky". Make sure you drink water throughout the day to help your body metabolize your food intake efficiently. For the flat tummy you want...that's tough it will be a long fight because as a human fat reserves will hang out there more often than other places. The most important thing is nutrition lean proteins and simple carbs work best for a lean physique. That and lots of core exercises. Strengthening the muscles in your abdomen and lower back will go a long way toward your goals. Good luck! You can do it!

Answer

It's recommended that you eat 4-5 small meals a day, drink plenty of water, get at least 7 hours of sleep and when exercising do cardio AND strength training. You won't get bigger from doing weights. Muscle burns fat, so strength training is the best way for you to get toned.

Answer

It takes about 3 weeks of consistency for you to start seeing your results. Also, if you're at a decent fitness level, you might be at a standstill as it isn't enough of a challenge for your body. Just keep at it and maybe change it up a bit. You'll see the results!
