I exercise daily yet can not remove the spare tire around my waist. I've tried many things and with summer coming I'm willing to try anything, except surgery. Are there any foods that can help fill me yet not be fattening?

You must exercise with intensity. Daily exercising seems like a real commitment, but to many guys it's just an excuse for keeping their efforts at the bare minimum.\n\nYour body contains all the power it needs to shape it the way you want it. It's a stick of dynamite - don't spend time tapping it with a pencil, hit it with a hammer! Get intense and push your own exercise limits.\n\nWorkout only 4 times a week with rest days in between.\n\nIf you can run 5kms in 30 minsplus, there's room for improvement. Jog slow for 3kms, run as hard as you can for the 4th, then jog down to 5, before finishing ultra hard for a 6th km. You'll burn more fat round your middle by incorporating intense intervals in your workouts.\n\nGet to a gym or set up a home gym in your place so you can work mostly on your upper body. Use all the machines for yopur upper torso so that its extra muscle and bulk takes attention away from your middle.\n\nSupport your workouts with nutrition - lean meats only, no sugary cr@p and drink 3 litres of water every day. Green tea has amazing fat reducing properties by releasing fats into the bloodstream to be discharged easier. Snack on nuts like almonds, pumpkin seeds etc. between meals and don't eat anything just before sleeping.\n\nKeep keen!

You do not loose weight by starving yourself. You can loose weight by exrecising daily: taking a walk, or jogging. you could also do some basic exercises like sit-ups and stretching for your muscles. And try working out in a gym. \nThe best way to loose wait is to burn it out.\nSO EAT GOOD FOOD that is  BALANCED DIET DAILY.

This is what I did after being in a head on collision and bed ridden for 3 months,eat stuff like soup not top ramen but a hearty chunky kind at least for lunch but try to stay away from alot of pasta,bread,and stuff like that,snacks are OK but try eating jello,salads,raw veggies with a low fat dip,you know..plus every time you eat something that is high in fat look up a picture of an obese person and tell yourself do i want to look this way? my aunt died from being obese it was a sad thing good luck

Try taking fruit and vegetables with you (carrots, celery...). Try having a salad for lunch, and much on fruit and vegetables when you are hungry. Limit the amount of bread and sweets that you take, and don't have sweetened soda, only diet versions. Maybe you can take some lighter lunches with you: vegetable dip with fresh vegetables to dip in it, salads, grilled vegetables, grilled meats and fish...\nGood luck.

I feel for you.  It's going to be hard.  You have to make up your mind that you are going to do this.  Cut the bad stuff out of your diet.  No more cokes, mo more sweets, no more bread/potatoes.  You might look into the South Beach diet.  The key is going to be diet and exercise.  I know you don't want to exercise, but that's the ONLY way - unless you have some sort of gastric surgery.  Walk around your neighborhood.  Look into one of those gyms for women - Curves, or something similar.  It's not too bad.  And since you are doing it together, you can motivate each other.  You can do it if you want to badly enough.

I am in the same predicament you are in. My doctor is telling me stuff I already know and i have no will power. like tonight i ate 3 bags of m&ms and a king sized twix but i will start tomorrow a new and try not to eat that crap.  what I do is excersice with a friend always because if I didnt i would do it. Its motivation. and I use a smaller plate so it can look full for the eyes and when I cook I only cook enough for 1 serving so when I want some more its none so I have to drink water to get full. Yeah, sometimes I dont always follow my rules but I wake up everyday and try again and harder. I havent weighed myself in a while because when i do and see that I have lost weight, my mind goes " what are you doing? lets eat more" and i gain it back but the best thing is to Wake up everyday and start brand new each day. if you break a day, its ok, try again. What I have learned is to not stop eating what you eat(as long if its not too much junk)just eat less of it. and excercise like crazy. oh, I also have been eating alot of fruits. I really dont like all the fruit thats available to me locally but i eat what i like apples, oranges, grapes, watermelon, strawberries, i just eat a different one a day.its called food rotating. Lucky with my job, one of my clients love to walk so 2 days out the week i have a good walk and my other client has to excercise more, so i motivate her by excercising with her and get strength training incorparated into those days. oh, i try to eat at least 6 times a day. breakfast lunch and dinner and 3 snacks but i dont always succeed, but i am losing weight, something i am doing is right because i can feel it in my feet and legs and sides where my bra is. hey, if you want a person to talk to about your days to give you motivation to keep trying im here for you sweety. so good luck. if you want to eat fast foods, try nuggets instead of burgers. and eat tacos. the whole point is to burn more calories than  you eat. good luck.

Eat less, exercise more.\nEat a normal, healthy, balanced diet.\nYour energy-food (carbohydrates and fat) intake should be just a little less than the energy needed for your level of exercise.\nThose 'love handles' are excess fat accumulated when you eat too much carbohydrate and fat.

The best excersises for a spare tire is.... Simply stand with your feet shoulder widthy apart and use weights (one in each hand) or soup cans work well too..and lift your arm over your head and extend it over top..repeat with the other hand..make sure you feel a pull on your love handles. Do this about 50 times per day. The next is a little mor difficult...lay on the ground on your side..prop you head up with your hand and put your other hand on your waist..lift your body up using your legs to push you up..hold for 15 sec ansd repeat 3 times on each side. The key in all spare tire excersises is to concentrate on your abs..make them work. Another miracle worker is pilates!!!

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

What kind of exercises are you doing? --  what are you eating?\n\nSome exercises are better for weight loss than others, some exercises are good to tune the heart and circulatory system, but do not do much for weight loss.  Check if the exercises you are doing are consistent with your goal.\n\nIt may not be the volume of food that you are eating, but how many calories, how much fat, etc. in what you are eating?  You could be eating less in volume, but taking in more sugars and fats.  Check if your diet is consistent with your goal.

Eat lots of fiber which fills you up. I eat fiber one cereal and I am not hungry at all after I eat it.  The more dietary fiber in the foods you eat, the better. Shoot for 4g or more. Stay away from salt. If you bloat easily, it is your worst enemy. Like I said lots of fiber, fruits and veggies and tons of water. It will work.

You should eat more fatty foods because you are not retaining enough body fat.  Try pizza.  As long as you continue to work out doing sit-ups and other abdominal training, the fat will go to your hips probably.

You're going to hate me, but eat less and exercise more.\n\nI mean, find something you like to do and promise yourself you will do it at least x times a week. (I promise myself I'll run at least 3 times a week, take at least two long walks and do yoga 4 times). \n\nAs for food, I am a huge snacker, so my big thing is to write things down when I eat them. It keeps me remembering that I'm eating (yes, I know that sounds lame, but otherwise, I tend to stand in the kitchen and stuff things in my mouth while I'm reading the mail or whatever.) I count calories, but I think I'd do that in my sleep at this point.\n\nMy last suggestions is to find something you adore and make sure you make room in your "diet" for it. I adore really great dark chocolate. I end each evening with a small piece of wonderful chocolate (about 75 calories). It makes me feel good to know that it is waiting for me. It also makes it easier to say "no" to the rest of the temptations in the day.\n\nOK - one more "final" suggestion. I try to remind myself that this is not a case of deprivation, but rather that I'm taking care of myself. Pampering my body with good food and good exercise. I try to work in things like doing my nails and taking bubble baths, but that seems to fall off the page often.\n\nBefore I risk sounding like I have this all figured out, let me admit that I would love to drop 5 - 10 pounds, but... I'm energetic, my husband thinks I look great (yes, he's a guy, but still...) and my doctor tells me that I'm at an ok weight (although she'd love it if I were a bit lighter, too.)\n\nHope this helps.

Exercise is very very important. Watch your diet & lay off the starch & sweets.

Regular exercise is good, you also should try to lose weight by reducing your caloric intake (smaller meals & portion size).  You should try to increase your fiber intake, adding oatmeal (not the overly sweetened kind, watch those calories!) whole grain breads and pastas.  Reduce or completely remove eggs, red meats (even Pork, the other white meat!) and certain fruits/veggies like coconut and avacado (although Avacado is not all bad...)\n\nAlso, if you are under a Doctor's care, there are some very effective medicines, but first try the diet/exercise routine to see if that will bring it back nito normal range - you want to avoid meds as long as possible!\n\nCheck these sites - American Heart Association is a good start, but there are also some natural paths sites to look at as well.  Make sure you tell your Doc what you are doing, even if you think they will think it's "Crazy" or "Fringe" medicine.  It's YOUR health, not theirs, so let them know you want alternatives and are taking charge of your health!\n\nGood luck, you can do it!  And be patient.  It takes time to clear out those levels, and determination to avoid those food you love, trust me!

Stick to fruits and veggies.plenty of water.No breads or chips. You have to deny your self. all those goodies.It's hard but the out come brings a big reward. Believe me  I know.If you can do this a couple weeks you will see a big difference then eat one thing that  you really want. Then get back on the fruits and veggies. Please don' for get to exercise. It's important. ( *-*)

try putting a piece of ductape over your mouth. But if you have to eat. Go with the basics. No Meat. Its hard to digest. Go with some raw vegetables. A salad. Something like that. If you go that route you wont be filling yourself with bad calories and fat. I like to eat a piece of fruit at night. Its sweet and fills a void.
