How can I lose more body fat?
I’m not overweight by any means, I’d just like to lose some fat around my stomach, although I am aware that you can’t target fat loss. I am not willing to become anorexic or bulimic or anything like that.
I do pilates and yoga about 3 or 4 times a week and do about an hour of cardio daily. I’m a vegetarian, but I get enough protein from tofu and other soy products and my diet is balanced with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
I’m just getting frustrated with the lack of change I’ve seen overcome my body and want to lose some body fat in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks for your help!

It takes about two weeks for your body to make any noticeable changes. Just be patient, and whatever you do, don’t give up. Good luck. =)

well I’m no vegetarian and dont know much about how to balance all that but i trust you know and your diet is good for your body… but i can tell you that Curves does amazing things for your body when you stick to it =D no bulkiness or big buff arms because they use resistance instead of weights and its just great for women to shape up nicely. =)

These numbers vary on a person’s size and daily activity but on the average men burn 2200 calories a day and women burn 1700 calories a day. That means that you need to keep the calories below those marks or you will gain weight. If you are able to lose 3500 calories in a seven day period then that will lose you one pound of fat. There are a few ways to do this. One way is to eat less and make sure it is easy to digest foods, like vegetables, lettuce, chicken, fish, etc.. The other way is to workout. I suggest this route because you have a much more fun lifestyle and look better. Working out tones and tightens your muscles as well as burns calories. The easiest way to lose weight is to buy a road bike (ten speed) and ride at least an hour a day. The typical 1 hour ride will burn between 800-900 calories. When you get better it makes good sense to ride two to three hours 3 to 4 times a week. You can do the math on the calorie lose. You can lose weight quickly, safely and it’s better for your heart nd lungs as well. Good Luck!!!
