Question by tequiero: What’s the best food and fitness plan for me?
I’m 16 years old and female. I have not done any proper exercise for over a year, and I dont live near a sports centre. I have gained a lot of weight on my stomach and hips. I really want to lose some of it. What is the best exercise that I can do? At home? (Situps etc…) How many?

I actually did a video that will help you.
thing is, weight loss is 15%exercise and 85%diet so. do your research there, sodium-fat-cholesterol-carbs
Well..
i recomend eating 5-6 small meals a day. This should have limited carbs with lots of protein and fruit and vegetables (well, not too many fruits as it is high in sugar)… but 3 are fine. I usually have 2 though. One in the morning and one a couple hours after lunch!!
You will never be hungry.
Mix that with a couple of cardio sessions – maybe a brisk walk once or twice a week. And something a bit high intensity (walk for a min, jog for a min) this will burn carbs throughout the day also. (don’t do it longer then 20 mins).
ALSO.. strength training. You have – lunges, the plank, push ups, sit ups (touch your toes, your opposite knee to work your obliques). There are heaps of vids on the internet. Maybe get a fit ball.
You will be sore the next day so make sure you have plenty of protein to rebuild those torn muscles..
The trick is to burn more calories then you eat. It’s a long term thing that you will need to do to have that tones lovely body. You’re young so you should lose it fairly quickly. But your body does not lose fat from a specific area.. it will take it from where you want it to go.. it will take it from different areas.. so you just have to keep it up till you get the fat from where you want to get it. I found a really good article.. which i have put below. It’s the honest truth with how to lose fat.
I have tried to research it too. my hips and tummy are the worst areas. I’ve been following this and I think it’s working. I’m not worried about weight though.. you shouldnt’… you should just find out your body fat percentage and work through that, because your muscles are what burn calories throughout the day – so work on getting more muscles. It’s very ard for girls to get muscley.. so don’t worry about turning into the incredible hulk if you do pushups and what not because you won’t. 🙂 gooood luck!!
You can do walking, jogging or running. The proper way to do this, is having a 5 meal replacements per day. Plus one green meal. And the best is that you can get discounts. Click here for more info http://www.miofit.com/medifast-coupons
Follow this Diet chart and yoga aasans
It is good that you have sought the help of Yoga to bring your body back into shape. While your practices and measure to eliminate excess weight or what you do is important, what you shouldn’t do is just as important.
* Don’t resort to weight reduction pills or powders of any sort and please avoid crash diets. We shall prescribe you a simple diet that is healthy, easy to follow and will deliver the desired results. See a nutritionist or dietician, if you must, but preferably one who knows and practices Yoga.
* Never skip meals. This makes you overeat at other times. So, by all means eat three or even four times a day, but eat light and sparingly.

Yogic Diet
This is very important, if you wish to get back into shape and develop a healthy, slim and shapely physique. Let your diet be Yogic and Sattvic (pure, light and predominantly vegetarian). This means plenty of raw foods – salads, sprouts and seasonal fruit – vegetable juices, dried fruits and loads of water.
Avoid potatoes, peas, chick peas, grams, peanuts, all non-veg fare, fried, fatty and spicy foods, junk / fast foods, packaged foodstuffs and confectionary products. Also keep away from milk and milk products such as cheeses and butter. But you may have plenty of diluted buttermilk prepared from skimmed milk. Avoid snacking between meals and, as mentioned before, never skip a meal.
