There are no shortcuts to losing weight in a healthy and reasonable way.





Eating 300 to 500 calories less per day should lead to a loss of between one and two pounds per week. This is a realistic target. It may seem slow, but would add up to a weight loss of more than three stone in a year.





Fat contains the most amount of calories out of all the food types (protein, carbohydrates), so a good way to achieve this is to cut down on fatty foods and eat more wholegrain bread, fruit and vegetables.





Below are ways to reduce calorie intake without having to alter your diet significantly.








Replace fizzy drinks and fruit cordials with water.








Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.








Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine/butter and full-fat mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).








Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee.








Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy.








Avoid having a second helping at dinner.








Cut out unhealthy treats such as confectionary, sugary biscuits and crisps between meals.








Cut down on beer and alcohol.








All these things will influence your health in a positive way.





Finally, don't be tempted to skip breakfast 鈥?or any meal to lose weight. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on.





Not only are you likely to overeat to compensate, but you'll often make bad choices to fill the gap: a cereal bar is not as healthy as a bowl of cereal or as filling, leading you to 'need' something extra for lunch.





Irregular eating habits also disrupt your body's metabolism, which makes it harder to lose weight in the first place.





and you should do your training to music because if you listen to your fav music it will help you take your mind off how many more you have to do and it will make you work faster i realy hope you make your goal and help all of the kids











Good Luck xxxWhat advice can you give me to do 1000 press ups in under 4 hours ?
Simple: Try doing more press-ups.





The biggest challenge is your lactic acid threshold and the only way to increase it is to practice the movement. Start doing sets of 20 each with a minute of rest in between. Then progress to sets of 40. Find your ideal number for each set.





Also you can train your triceps (pressdowns) and pecs (flys)

If you are doing the sit ups on level ground then you need to train on a slight incline this way you will be fit enough without harm when you attempt the 1000. Your diet should consist of just good healthy food but you are doing an exercise that involves the stomach so beware not to eat 1 hour before exercise otherwise you could suffer. Good luck by the way.
