Need to get trim.

Hey everyone. I’m not fat, or even overwieght, but I’m supposed to go to a pool party in about 3 months and I need to get trimmed around my stomach. First of all, will I notice a significant difference in my abs/sides if I work out for the next 3 months and go on a diet? Also, what’s the best exercises to do to lose weight and gain muscle around that area, or make my stomach look smaller. Will aerobic exercises help? I heard if you work on your chest, then your stomach will in turn look smaller. Also, will cutting carbs and sugar help in losing weight?

Hm, also, cutting down on food amounts? Does that actually work significantly? I really need to get trim, especially my sides (My body is more || than \/, and I really want to lose the extra around my stomach so it looks more fit.)

exercise wise you need to get your heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day. that’s just a minimum.
then add in something small, something toning. like lifting weights or the elliptical for 15 minutes three times a week.
you can work up to (and at some point you should be) doing full on exercise 4 times a week.
alternate too. do kickboxing one day, then swimming the next.
you also need to get a pedometer. 10,000 steps a day baby.
the obvious food things, stay away from complex sugars and obviously bad for you foods.
eat whole grain, and low fat.
small frequent meals through out the day and drink waterwaterwater!
watch your beverage intake, a lot of hidden calories in there.
and also watch portion sizes, just read the box yeah?
oh and;
serve your food buffet style.
you can only have one serving of carbs per meal and 6 total in a day
eat as many vegetables as you want but try for at least 5.
fruits: you can only have three a day.
you can get seconds of meat if you’re still hungry. but ONLY if you’ve had another serving of veggies in between. (7 proteins total)
2 dairies a day and 1 multi vitamin + 2 servings of calcium
um never eat in front of the t.v.
always eat breakfast.
and most of all…just go seen a dietician!
this is also something the people at the “healthy for life” clinic told me.
small goals. little things add up. you have to go slow and steady.
btw.
fad diets don’t work.
also counting calories gets really tricky.
get a lot of sleep, that’s really important.
ah one more thing.
don’t starve yourself.
it makes you retain the fat, not lose it.

but most of all; GOODLUCK
=D

p.s. this is an automatic response to words like ‘fat’ and ‘diet’. this may not always apply, sorry, ignore me.

Reduce your junk food intake and stick to wholesome foods such as fruits and vegetables. Imagine your body as the machine to burn your weight and actually perform the workouts.

Do not plan dieting because it is not a solution for a longer duration. You can easily feel tired by following a particular diet pattern for a shorter duration. It reduces your rate of metabolism by draining away the water content and retaining the fat content.

Schedule an exercise program almost daily and gradually increase your workout. Reduce one spicy meal in a week and work towards healthy meal consumption.
