Q&A: How can I work out at the gym without using my calf muscles?
Question by Jennifer L: How can I work out at the gym without using my calf muscles?
I go to the gym but only for weight loss, I don’t want these huge calf muscles, how do I avoid that? I find that every machine or exercise I do uses those muscles, all except for the upper body weight lifting machines, but I do not want to build any more muscle period. Actually I would like to lose muscle and fat. How can I achieve this?

How exactly do weight loss challenges work?
Question by Jenny: How exactly do weight loss challenges work?
I see all of these weight loss challenges scattered throughout the internet, but they usually only have a start and end date with no rules. Are you supposed to come up with an individual plan and then join the challenge for however long it lasts for? What is a challenge?!
Best answer:
Answer by Daniel
I have never done one of those weight loss challenges, because I personally like to diet and exercise at my own pace. However, I would imagine that you can google the name of the weight loss challenge (e.g Jenny Craig) and you should be directed to the website explaining what happens in the challenge. Every weight loss program/challenge is different.

Answer by James M
Focus on cardio. If you exercise regularly, decrease (or shorten) the breaks between each set. As for nutrition, stick with vegetables for snacks and eat a lot of protein. Chicken, fish, turkey, etc. are all high in protein. Eliminate carbs, sugar and soda from your diet.

Answer by 1Direction
Grapefruit supplements may work but soluble fiber would be also a good choice. Any fiber will do the job of making you feel full so you don’t have to buy supplements. You can eat whole grain cereals, oatmeal, oat bran, all kinds of vegetables, fruits (especially berries because they are full of antioxidants). Drink 2 liters of water every day.

Weight problems can come from underactive thyroid gland or hypothyroidism.
You should see your doctor and ask for the following blood tests: TSH, FT4, FT3 and most importantly anti-thyroid antibodies.
Only they can reveal if you have a problem with your thyroid, like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Normal TSH is 0.3-3. (Some doctors still use the out-dated reference range of 0.5-5.5)
Some doctors are very misinformed and not knowledgeable about thyroid conditions.
See the symptoms below:

Hey buddy
if you wanna lose weight
short term = drop carbs (bread, rice,sweets,pasta)
long term = increase your metabolism… how?
by building more muscle… the more muscle the more calories
your body has to burn to just maintain the muscles…
Goodluck

Answer by EddySays
We should all learn something every day and hopefully you will learn this.
There is no such thing as a diet pill, liquid, powder, or fat burner supplement!
Got it?
Think about it. If any of this garbage worked, why would 2/3 of the adults in the US be overweight, obese, or morbidly obese? We would be lined up without having to spend a dime advertising if someone had the magic formula.
Alli is the only over the counter weight loss pill approved by the FDA. There are only three prescription weight loss medications approved. Do you think that if any of them REALLY worked we would have a $ 60 billion a year industry in “weight loss” supplements?
The big three pharmaceuticals would dominate the market.
Approved or otherwise, none of these weight loss supplements guarantee anything unless you establish a healthy diet and exercise program.
So why not just establish a healthy diet and exercise program and keep your money?
You will be spending somewhere between $ 2 and $ 4 per day on a product that is not approved or guaranteed to do anything!
The only weight loss supplement I recommend is a basic multivitamin.
And yes they are dangerous. Heart, liver, kidney, intestinal, and neurological damage and death have all been the result of diet pills. That is why the FDA hasn’t approved any new ones for 14 years.
These supplement manufacturers are using human guinea pigs (you) for these products. As long as no one gets sick or dies, and they don’t get fined or shut down they will keep making and selling this junk. Whether it works or not.
I say it over and over and over. “If any one of these products really worked, why are there so many?”

Answer by Ghøst
Hi. Try and exercise for atleast one hour a day to see results. To burn calories you have to raise your heart rate which is necessary to exercise for atleast 1 hour a day. Exercise in the morning before having breakfast. People that exercise in the morning tend to lose weight quicker- To kick start your weight loss program, try the special k diet. Please note, the special k diet is designed for only two weeks of use and not more.- Ghøst
