Loading ...Is this a healthy diet and exercise routine?
I want to lose 15 – 20 pounds. I normally have a fruit smoothie that I make from banannas, blueberries, strawberries, honey and apple juice or a cereal bar for breakfast. I will eat some popcorn for a mornign snack and drink a bottle of water. For lunch, I have a salad and a piece of fish (Talipia) or skinless chicken breast cooked on the George Forman Grill. For dinner, I normally have basically the same. Sometimes I will have steamed rice and a vegatable with fish or chicken. Sometimes I have tuna and salad for dinner. For snacks, I have cereal bars, cashews, craisins/raisins or popcorn. I try to drink plenty of water. I start aerobics on Monday and I will go two or three times a week. I do 500 crunches in the morning before work and I lift 5lb weights doing arm exercises each morning. It takes about 15 minutes to complete for toning. I had thought about adding some Lipo 6 for a supplement to speed of my metabolism.

All good but the smoothies and the nuts. Nuts are high in fat as well as smoothies. My daughter was drinking them daily and putting on weight. We asked the Dr. why and when she found out about the smoothies she said to cut them out. She did and her weight began to drop.

The eating plan sounds fine…for weight loss though, I'd do the aerobics (or something cardio) 4 or 5 days a week instead of just 2 or 3…the 2 or 3 is good for maintenance, but for weight loss you might want to work out more frequently…
The crunches and hand weight exercises are good…building muscle will tone the body and help increase the metabolism so you'll burn more calories.
Good luck in reaching your goal!

I dont think you need to take a supplement, It sounds like you are doing enough already! Also you should exercise every other day to give your body a chane to recover and change inbetween.Good luck with it. I wish i had as much will power as you seem to have!
