Will Working Out 5 Days A Week And Eating Soups And Salads Make Me Lose Weight Fast?
I just started to run on the treadmill for 20 mins, 5 days a week and eat soups that are low in salt (hearty beef,veggies,noodles) and eat mixed green salads/ceaser salads. Aswell as probiotic yogurt everyday and mixed fruits and lean chicken and salmon. How long before I see results? Will this even work?
No beef and chicken. Oil instead of butter. No white flour dishes. Otherwise it’s sounds well. After two weeks you will see the result.
hi, this is a good nutrition balanced meals you just keep the timing between meal a little longer and take salads with just lime or vinegar no add salt as snacks in between meals that will make the difference in your diet and you will start to lose more quickly with your workout you will get the magnificent body that you really like and just time table your meals every four -5 hours in between if you really do that you will see result in the next day best of luck and enjoy
It is a good start.
It takes a 3500 calorie deficit to loose 1lb.
While the treadmill can be good cardio 20 minutes may not be enough.
Cardio helps to strengthen the heart and lungs and flush toxins from the body.
In the beginning if you have replaced high fat, calorie meals with these eating habits you should see results.
And if you have be sedentary then the 20 minutes wil yield some results too.
However, the body is smart and adapts quickly. You need to work within 65-80% of your targeted heart rate. Take 220 minus your age and then keep yourself in this zone for a min of 20 minutes with 10 minutes of a warm up. So the min would be 30 minutes. You should always warm up and cool down. Both before cardio or exercises for muscle and strength and toning the body.
*It takes 18 minutes to enter into a fat burning zone according to ACE and their studies.
You will burn more body fat adding exercises.
A circuit is quick and is an easy way to add tone.

THE DIET MENTALITY
For a dieting bodybuilder, gaining muscle while losing body fat is a matter of mentality.
June 25, 2008
Written by FLEX Staff
We all know what to do to loose weight, but build muscle. Here’s what not to do:
1. Don’t diet impatiently—Your body needs at least three weeks to adapt to dietary modifications, so be patient. Don’t anticipate immediate changes. If you start a high-carb, moderate-protein, low-fat diet with reduced calories, visible progress will probably not occur until after 21 days.
2. Don’t lose track of tracking calories—Count everything you eat; not only calories, but carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Consult Nutrition Almanac or a comparable source.
3. Don’t eat haphazardly—Whether you’re trying to lose fat or gain lean body mass, remain consistent. Sporadic eating is anathema to progress. If you’re a hard-gainer or have a difficult time getting ripped, the five-meals-a-day plan is the best; it stabilizes nutrient absorption while inhibiting fat storage.
4. Don’t be scale-subservient—Don’t depend upon the scale to fine-tune your diet. It’s a good general gauge, but seeing a numerical difference can cause one to overcompensate. It’s better to rely on photos and an unbiased eye.
5. Don’t overeat—Bodybuilders who try to gain mass often overeat, taking in too many calories that turn to body fat. They do the same with carbohydrates, expecting more energy for hard training. Get enough, not an excess.
6. Don’t be a follower—There’s nothing wrong with doing what the pro bodybuilders do, but use their diet only as a template, then adapt it to your metabolism. Jay Cutler’s diet might be similar in most regards to Dexter Jackson’s, but it’s not identical.
7. Supplements are not magic bullets—In relying too much on supplements, bodybuilders often fail to consume enough calories and proteins to stimulate a positive nitrogen balance for muscle building, or they fail to reduce their food calories and consequently add body fat. Remember: supplements “supplement” food; they don’t replace it.
8. Don’t be a single-food slave—Vary your diet. It’s too easy to burn out from eating only chicken breasts or canned tuna every meal, day after day.
9. Free yourself from fat-free tyranny—Removing fat completely from your diet and relying exclusively on non-fat foods and fat-free proteins such as turkey, fish and protein powders can retard growth or lead to a decrease in fat metabolism. A low-fat diet that includes essential fatty acids found in meat, chicken and fish is better.
10. Avoid sudden, enormous changes—When adding or subtracting calories from your diet, do so gradually, to give your body time to adapt. A radical reduction will cause the body to hoard fat; a radical increase will stimulate fat storage. FLEX.
