Weightloss Tips?

Question

So, i've been struggling with my weight for so long. Kept telling myself since grade 9 that i would lose the weight. When it came to grad, i was still big and unhappy to be in a grad dress. Now, first year university is basically done and i wanna lose weight before i had back in Setember. Do you ladies have any tips on doing so? I won't be able to get a gym membership till maybe the summer but i have weights, zumba kit, treadmill and some resistence stuff at home that i do.

Foods to avoid, eat, things to try, different workouts etc. Anything you ladies can give that can help me achieve my goals would be great :)

Answer

start running and become addicted to the feeling afterwards!! 
I used to hate all kinds of sports, specially just running around for no reason haha but then i forced myself to go running every day for a week. I HATED it at the start but by the end of the week i couldn't stop!! it's so therapeutical.. The trick is to run without paying attention to how far or how long you run for. I go running to feel free from everything else in my life and relax... i love it!

It also has the awesome side effect of burning lots of calories and making you lose weight pretty fast! ☺️

ps: chose the right music and enjoy it!

Answer

If you want something that is going to work long term do not choose a low-carb diet, it doesn't work. Try changing to a vegan lifestyle and look into high-carb low fat vegan diets, I have been vegan for a year and a half and started a HCLF diet in January and have lost 25 lbs, stay away from salt and oils because they make losing weight harder and definitely cut down on fizzy drinks. There is a youtuber called NaturallyStefanie and she has amazing vegan recipes and meal ideas you should check her out, and also don't calorie restrict it will mess up your metabolism.

Answer

Drink lots of water, this helps. Keep hydrated.   Look for Zumba videos on YouTube, I used to do that after working out. As of for working out, look up some workouts and try to keep up with them. Try not to eat fast foods.

I'm not a huge fan of diets, just the word skeeves me out lol. I couldn't follow them! Some of too strict and I love my sugary foods but there's one I went on and I lost weight quick. I know quick isn't a great thing but it'll give you the jump start you need so only do it for a week or two. I didn't follow it completely so I'll write down what I did. It's the special k diet. Yes, the cereal. Literally all it does it retrain (shrinks) your tummy to know when it's full. This will help you when you're off and want to continue loosing weight.
I had the recommended bowl of cereal in the morning and brought the strawberry shake and granola bar to classes with me. I had the shake first because it had lots of protein then the granola bar for lunch. For dinner you can do your own meal but because I was always on the go I had no time to cook which led to McDonald's for dinner. So for dinner if have more cereal but add almonds to it for more protein. I didn't exercise due to not taking in much food.
After the week was up for that I was down 15 pounds. I then began food prepping which I still do to this day. Chicken is the easiest. Throw a bunch into a pan with veges and onion. When they're done put them in a container and freeze it. That'll be your dinner.
Try and stay away from salt, excess salt means keeping water weight. I had to get rid of all temptation food in the house or keep it in a corner cabinet. Make sure you pack a snack so you aren't tempted to make a quick stop, you also don't want to starve yourself. When in the grocery store stay on the outer rim, that's the non processed food. You don't need to go toothed gym to exercise, I did what was called the 5 minute an workout I learned in school.
1 minute crunches, 1 min apple pickers, 1 min plank, 1 min jumping jacks, 1 min penguin (lay on ground, knees up move torso left and right tapping feet with extended arms). 
Other exercises could be squats which have so many different ways to do so. Or lunges.

Answer

My biggest tip : Drink loads of water! + Green tea (You cab add stuff like lemons, berries and cucumber to detox your system) 
Try to drink a bottle/ glass of chilled lemon water when you wake up (it makes you feel so refreshed)  and just try to drink as much as you can throughout the day. Also if you feel hungry try drinking a glass and see if you still are half an hour later, your brain sometimes 'tricks' you into thinking your hungry when you actually just need a drink xx

Answer

Although this has gone out the window for me for the moment, I always do better on low-carb diets. I see results more quickly, and I can keep the weight off if I'm trying to. I find that the best thing for me is to just not keep trigger foods in my house. If I go to a friend's house, or a party, I usually eat whatever they have cooked because I think it's polite. As long as I don't keep it near me, I'm okay. Fast food is a big one, too. I think the suggestions on staying hydrated are great. That is very true.
