New Fat Burning Diet

i mostly want to work on upper body & abs.

You need a good combination of aerobic activity and resistance training combined with a healthy diet.

It is not recommended to lose more than 1-3 lbs a week. If you want to lose weight the correct and safe way that will stay off for the long-term you need a good exercise and nutrition plan.

A good program looks like this:

Always warm up and cool down

Muscular strength & endurance-you need a good resistance training program that includes exercises for all muscle groups(hips, chest, upper and mid back, legs (quads and hamstrings), shoulders, lower back, upper arms (biceps and triceps), calves, forearms, abdomen, and the gluteus maximus).
Your intensity should be 70-80% 1-RM or 8-12-RM, 8-12 reps, 1 or more sets, 3 times a week for 6 weeks or more. You should begin with 1 exercise for each major muscle group and make sure the days you do resistance training are not consecutive meaning you don’t exercise the same muscle group two days in a row. As you continue your program you can add more exercises, add weight, and change up your program to include more days or just work specific muscle groups on specific days. As your muscles grow stronger you will be able to reduce the rest time between each set. You should rest for about 30 seconds between sets. Muscle is metabolically active and therefore when you gain muscle it burns more calories and helps to raise your metabolism.
If you do not have money for a gym membership or do not have acess to one here is a great website to create a work out plan only using your body weight.

You can also search for all kinds of exercises that use weight.
You also mentioned that you want to mostly work on upper body and abs, but make sure you don’t neglect the rest of your body because that could result in injury or misalignment of a certain part of your body. It’s fine to focus on a certain muscle group, just make sure to work every muscle group with basic exercises also.

Cardiovascular Endurance-this is where you can burn fat the most and that leads to enhancing your muscles such as the abs. You need to include a warm-up and cool-down. I have an extensive answer on this section if you would like to read it

Body Composition-this includes your body fat percentage, bone frame, as well as how much muscle you have. Most people focus on only weight, but you should not put as much focus on that as much as what your body fat percentage is (get it tested at an exercise facility with skinfold calipers). You should also get circumference measurements done. This includes your neck, shoulder, chest, waist, abdominal, hip (buttocks), thigh (proximal), thigh (mid), thigh (distal), knee, calf, ankle, arm (bicep), forearm, and wrist. You should be able to do this at a gym. You should get all of this information done before you start your program and then you can see how you improve.

Flexibility- Most people do not even think about this, but it is very important because it helps to prevent injury and it helps you to perform every day activities. It also has an effect on all your other programs. You should perform 10-12 flexibility exercises every day. Slowly stretch the muscle to a point of mild discomfort but not necessarily pain. Hold stretch for 10-30 seconds, and do 3-5 reps for each stretch. This should take about 15-30 minutes per session. If you do not have time to do this every day, try to do it 2-3 times a week.

You have to make sure that you eat right and that means following the food guide pyramid. I have another answer that discusses this

I have recently discovered this amazing fruit. I have been trying to lose weight for a long time. Do they aid at all in weight loss? I have heard they are full of antioxidants as well. Do those prevent cancer?

Pomegranates is good for health. These fruits are high in fiber and low in calories. As they’re making you feel full, they’re pumping you up with antioxidants that help prevent cancer – as do other red- and blue-colored fruits.

I need help fast!My winter dance is coming up in a week and I cant fit in my dress.How can I lose a lot of weight in a week?

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

For example: Green tea may work for you but not for me, how do I know what diet works better for my body type?

yes because we are all different. just exercise

I have heard Hoodia is good. What else is there? where can i get it? how much $?
No one is answering my question obviously i am aware that excersise works but im talking about diet pills. What are the best ones… anyone else?

I wouldn’t take hoodia, it’s just a fad drug on a commercial. There are a lot of diet pills that are really good. But, you can’t just rely on the pills to do all the work for you. Since the band on products having ephredra fat burners aren’t as effective. You can buy it separately, but I would not recommend it. The top 3 that I have used that made me get down to about 6-8 body fat was Muscle tech Hydroxycut, Dymatize Thermoburn, and Stacker 3. For the price Stacker 3 is the best and the results are great with proper diet and cardio.

The Truth about Diet and Weight Loss

I want to talk tonight about weight loss. It’s a subject everyone is worried about. And the problem is that diets don’t work. Everybody has tried a diet. I haven’t met a person yet that’s hasn’t tried something, from kids to people in their eighties; everybody has tried some kind of diet and they just don’t work. In recent studies when they looked at a lot of their major diets (some good one’s, Atkins, The Zone), they put them all together statistically and found a ten pound weight loss on average. Now, these people lost a hundred pounds and gained it back of course. But, all that work, all that money, all those videos, for ten pounds of weight loss?

So the truth is, we have to find a life style that will allow you to stay at a weight that is healthy for you. That’s a much different way of thinking than all this crash dieting that goes on. What you have to learn is how to take care of yourself; you have to learn the appropriate foods; you have to make better choices. That’s the only way it’s going to work.
