I weigh about 80KG+want2 lose some weight, but nothing works. i run 3 times a week + don't eat badly.?

I'm 19, nearly 20 and really want to lose some weight before the summer. I feel very over weight but am probably not. i'm 5"8 and am a size 14. i eat quite well although eat the odd bad thing now and again and have been running 3-4 times a week for about 3 weeks. but i seem to be getting bigger. I think im doing something wrong. Can anyone help? its making me very depressed and i feel very ugly all the time!

Thanks for reading, and i hope someone can help.

chlorella is the great factor to for growth is this true?

Answers:
It will take more than 3 weeks for the running to be noticable. It doesn't have to be running. Aerobic exercise (running, bicycling, etc) for 30 minutes a day should make a big difference by the summer.

maybe you have a slow metabolic rate or it could be a thyroid problem..consult a professional and ask for some pieces of advice. goodluck!

have you played sick?

First of all research the Zone Diet.

Heres a little lesson I hope you take it to heart.
Aerobic training, running, cycling etc for long durations with an average heart rate of between 60-75%, what really happens? - burns fat, increases endurance, BURNS MUSCLE
Anaerobic training, resistance training, shorter runs/sprints less than a mile, what really happens? - burns fat, increases strength, increases stmina and endurance, BUILDS MUSCLE.

As a woman it is impossible for you to build muscle like a guy. You don't have testosterone. Nuscle will increase metabolism, create the MUSCLE tone you are probably looking for (obviously running long distance will not tone since it is a muscle wasting event)

Also remember a pound of fat is about double in size a pound of muscle, even if you weight the same but replace 5 pounds of fat with 5 lbs of muscle your physical size will change dramatically, probably a couple of sizes.

Heres a sight with tons of free info on the truth about training and workouts

WHAT to eat for losing weight

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.

* Print these lists. They will be your . "Bible", from now on !
* Dill and parsely - include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.
* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)
* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook - eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.

• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)

* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!
* Avoid fat meat

• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don't EVER exclude bread from your diet!

• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits

* Don't cheat . NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc!
* EVEN if they have "low fat" indication. They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !

• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta. you know!

* Don't eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I'm not a low carb addict, but I've noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.
* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!
* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads. with fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian).

if u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. no salt no nothing just plain. u can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. i heard that from a weight loss tape. the best drink is water or gatorade. thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. if u want a macine. run with dumbells on a treadmill. u could do the rocky workout. but thats a new story. u could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs

1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.

2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle "burn". A gym is also an option, but I don't know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.

3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.

4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.

That is a good place to start. if you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you. if it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer

Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours
the most important thing is you don't lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want

good luck
