I am too ashamed of myself to go out running, I just do brisks walks, but that's not helpingAre those cleansing liquid diets effective? like the one Beyonce used?
First of all, there is this thing called ... courage... there are few times in your life you get to show it--and it doesn't matter whether it's just to yourself or to the world. It's still courage. Work your way up to running. Walk on your recovery days.





Beyonce has a PERSONAL TRAINER, DANCE INSTRUCTOR/CHOREOGRAPHER, DIETICIAN, and works out 4 hours a day. She just gets paid a buttload of money to tell everyone she flushed her colon with hemp rope so that people will buy a product that will make them go to the bathroom more often, make them dependent on the drug and then cause them some kind of electrolytic imbalance down the long run. Really, would you want to tell everyone that you need to hit the can 3 to 5 times a day unless they PAID you at least $300,000 to say it?





Second for all the ';quick weight loss posts'; that are about to bombard your question.

Um runs contrary to the water drinking thing. Other products are great--I love shoving stuff up my...err...huh?)





Now for the real way. Work out smarter, not harder. Low intensity workouts (elliptical, running, biking) where your heart rate stays in Zone 2 (60-70% of maximum heart rate) burns calories at a rate 85% calories, 15% glycogen. The higher your heart rate or the more intense the workout the lower the ratio of Fat to Glycogen becomes.





If you run 3 miles in 23 minutes and your heart is pounding at the end, you've burned about 480 calories of which probably 400 cal. came from sugar.





If you WALK 3 miles in 45 minutes, and you feel like you could walk another 3 miles no problem, then chances are you burned 400 cal. that came from fat stores (which is harder for your body to replace) and 80 cal came from sugar. (The number of calories burned is essentially the same in either case because you do the same amount of work -- the laws of physics are hard to change.)





LOW intensity exercise for the duration is the way to go for weight loss. Lots of fruits and vegetables, no preprocessed foods, no fried foods and limit beef intake. Go for chicken. Cross training in cycling or swimming also increases caloric burn and is a nice change. Swimming is good for recovery as well.





MOST IMPORTANTLY: Having a motivating purpose is VERY helpful. Sign up for a 10K run 12 weeks from now and promise yourself you will run/jog the whole thing and cross the finish line with a smile. If you train for it and STICK TO A TRAINING PLAN but if miss a workout don't sweat it--stuff happens. The weight loss comes as almost an afterthought as you're following a schedule of training/recovery days. Start out for example walking/jogging 20 minutes non-stop at CONVERSATIONAL PACE 4x per week using a 10 minute walking cooldown afterwards. Increase duration of the jog by no more than 10% per week. In 12 weeks you'll be able to run 60 minutes non-stop and feel like you could keep going. By then a 10K for you should be a warmup.





See you at the finish line! And start saving your money-- you're going to need new clothes. This type of weight loss is permanent because it turns you into an athlete for life.





If you get injured running and have to take time off, start swimming or cycling. See references below.





Apologies for the long post. I've been adding as I go.Are those cleansing liquid diets effective? like the one Beyonce used?
no they arent. the only effective diet is one of 1,200-2,000 healthy calories based on the food pyramid.
