11 Ways to speed up your metabolism

Hi I am 6ft and 200lbs. I am planning a summer swim trip with friends in june and would like to be in better shape before then. I have been drinking a gallon of water a day and trying to run a least 2 miles a day for the past two weeks... plus tying to eat smaller portions. I would like to be down to 170-175... is that possible? I also have always had " man-boobs" since I can remember. what is an efficient way of getting rid of them? Got any advice?

Hi my name is amanda, im 27 yrs old and im 5'1 and way 148lbs. i have had 3 children and after every child it gets harder and harder to loose this weight! my problems are, i go most of the day without eating due to working. i cater and work in a kitchen, so when i snack at work its not anything good for me. my second prob. is i feel drained all day until late then i feel a burst of energy. problem areas arms, butt,thighs, and stomach! help! i hate yogurt, fish,and milk, love fresh veggies and fruit, and nuts! alsoi work out about 3x's a week.

OMG this is awesomee imma start doing it

I just wanted to thank you so much for all your weight loss tips. I have lost 10 pounds in the past 2 weeks and I am determined to lose more. Your plan has helped so much. GOD bless you, Adrian!

Hi,
I am 27 , I weight almost 150 lbs, for 5'11. I changed my eating habits since 2 years, I gained 10lbs. I practice Yoga 3 to 4 times a week, I ride my bicycle every other day. I love to eat, even if I eat healthy, its still more than I should that is bad. And I also go out, socialise, that means smoke and drink for my work... I have a month to loose this weight, do you think that is possible without being too restrictive ?

Thank you so much for your help, never been on a diet before...

Hi Adrian,

Last year at this time, I was running half marathons, and I even ran/ walked a marathon last April. I was in prime physical shape, but I overworked myself, and got a running injury (stress fracture in foot)... I stopped exercising for months, and over 6 months, I gained 30 lbs. Yikes. I've tried to start running again, but it flares my old injury up. I feel that I'm too heavy to run long distance right now because it might be too much for my joints. I started going to the gym, and doing at least an hour of cardio (elliptical or walking on incline), and that has helped. I lost 5 lbs, but I still have 25 to go. I usually work out at night because I can't seem to get the energy to workout in the am. I do an hour of cardio about 5x a week. In terms of diet, my one weakness is a whole wheat bagel, but I limit myself to only one or two a week. Otherwise, I try to drink a lot of water, stay away from sweets, go easy on carbs at night, and go for higher protein meals, as well as snack on fruits and veggies.

I am 5'6, and weigh 155, and I would like to be 130 again. My body fat % is about 35. Do you have any advice for me? I want to get in shape as fast as possible, and I will do whatever it takes.

I have been eating 5 meals a day for the last 8 weeks but inn a day I take in only about700 cals. I eat 10oz of lean protein, 1 1/2 cup of complex carbs, and 6 cups of greens or fruits. I am working out 5 days a week with 3 cardio for 45-60mins with my heart rate at 140-160 and 2 days of sculpting plus cardio w/ one day being upper body and the other lower and 30mins of cardio. My problem is that I avoid dairy and bread, nuts and oils. I do drink 100 0z of water as well. Now I am not losing and other issues. I now fear changing it with worry that all that i have lost will come back.

Hi,
I'm 15 5'7" and 221 lbs... I am 100% vegetarian, I eat practically nothing, and I work out 3 times a day... which includes 10 min of cardio, 10 min of abs, and I walk 2-3 miles a day. (I like walking my dogs)... and I still can't get the remaining weight off, my goal weight is 130-140 and I need to lose it within 3-5 months ... can anybody help me?
