How to Get Thin If You're Fat

You will need to be disciplined to lose weight. A combination of muscle-building exercises, running and dieting can cut the fat. With time, a disciplined diet and exercise routine will reshape you. Performing exercises for two days, then taking two days off, will allow your body to recover between workouts. You should, however, follow your diet on a daily basis. You will need to burn more calories than you consume if you want to lose weight.

Instructions

• 1

  Set aside two separate 30-minute periods per day for two days in a row to do sit-ups and push-ups. You may need less time, depending on how long you rest between sets.

• 2

  Do three sets of as many sit-ups as you can. Leave 30 seconds to a minute between each set. Continue to do the sit-ups until you can't do any more. When you feel a burn, you are making progress at working the muscles. This will help sculpt your body and burn calories. Complete your push-ups in the same style. Do another full session later in the day.

  Monitor the number of calories you are consuming. According to howtoloseweighthealthy.com, eating off of a smaller plate will help you lose weight. The website states there is a psychological connection between the amount of food we eat and the size of our plates. The amount of calories you should limit yourself to depends on your age, gender, height and weight. See Resources to find out how many calories you should consume.

  Fit a 30-minute jog into your day. You will want to do this when your stomach is almost empty so that you don't get cramps. You won't be hungry until you get home from your run.
