Congratulations on setting a weight lose goal for yourself. Lose around 7 pounds a month. Do cardiovascular exercises everyday. Eat less/no junk food, more fruits/vegetables.
you are young,so it wont be hard to lose about 3-4 pounds a week….cut all junk food and tidbits and stick to a diet merely consisting of steamed fishes,lowfat dairy foods,raw almonds,raw cashewnuts,green tea,lots of water, fresh fruits and veggies..go brisk walking about 1-2 hrs a day in addition to your basketball routine..good luck
You are 150 pounds.25 pounds may not sound like a lot,however it looks like a lot.You are only 5′3″,unless you’re going for the anorexic look you might want to bring it down to 10 or 15 pounds.Good luck!
To maintain health, you should plan on losing 1 to 2 pounds per week. Losing more than that can be devastating to your body.
One of the best, and easiest, ways to lose weight is to monitor what you eat. If you drink sodas (even diet), stop; if you eat any sort of ‘junk’ foods, either stop or reduce how much you eat. Keep a food log of every single thing you put in your mouth from water to meals to gum to candy, and include amounts. You may be surprised how much you’re eating in one day and how you could easily eliminate calories.
Get more active. Put your paper on the other side of the room and get only one sheet at a time, put more ’swish’ in your walk at home, walk backwards, when walking across a room do lunges, put clothing away only a few items at a time, ‘dance’ when you’re sitting, sit up straight, walk with proper posture, tighten your abdominal muscles while walking and sitting…. Every little bit adds up.
Do NOT skip meals! Skipping a meal puts your body into ’starvation mode’–you’ll stop burning calories, and when you do eat again, your body will absorb MORE calories and fat and store it in case you starve yourself again. Instead, eat SMALL meals frequently (meaning, instead of 3 large ones, eat 5-6 SMALL ones). Using smaller bowls and plates will help with this portion control (our minds perceive portion when compared to dish size instead of actual amount of food).
Do small workouts. You don’t have to join a gym to get a good workout. And, a 60-min workout is pointless after about 20 minutes (just like with skipping meals, your body goes into starvation mode after approx 20 minutes of strenuous activity).
