One of the biggest questions we get here at GL is, “How can I get flat abs?” followed by, “How can I get rid of the fat on my thighs?” Keep reading for Dr. Lavinia Rodriguez’s revealing answer...

“One thing that is a proven a fact is there’s no such thing as spot reducing,” she swears. Steer clear of any products that promise to blast fat off one section of your bod, too. “If it says it targets fat where you don’t want it, don’t buy it. Those things are just scams.” What’s a girl to do? Instead of searching for a miracle to shrink your thighs or flatten your tummy, make li’l changes to eat healthier foods and incorporate a variety of exercises into your daily routine. Eat those veggies, sweat it out regularly and, in a few weeks, you’ll see some results. It’s gonna take time to shape up, but make a point to have fun along the way!

Hey all!
A little healthy food advice, building on what Becca G said with example (moi)...
I am a pescetarian. Basically, that means I eat seafood, but no other meat. My mom actually had a pescetarian pregnancy, so I have never had land meat. I have been skinny (in a healthy way, just lower part of healthy) all my life... just this year I was actually TRYING to gain weight so I could ride in the front seat! So if you're thinking about making a healthier change to your diet, go pescetarian.
Another little tip about healthier diet: For 'painless' fruits and veggies, mash up or shred some and add to your regular home-cooked food. You will hardly even notice it! Also try getting veggie pizzas when you do have pizza.

MOD**MOD** Hey MOD girls!! Ok, so homecoming is in 4 weeks. And i really wanna loose at least 5 pounds!! Do you think i can do it? If so can you please give me some tips on how to do so? Thanks a lot, Adriana lee <3

 

 

Hey girly girl! It all depends on how much you weight now and how healthy you are. If you are tiny now, then 5 pounds is a whole lot to lose. However, if you're bigger, than you should be able to lose 5 pounds. Try getting some cardio exercise for a half hour each day. Walk your dog, jump rope with some friends, go to a gym, or do a workout DVD. And, cut out most fast food and junk. Try to eat lean proteins, like chicken and fish, and eat lots of fruits and veggies. But, above all, make sure not to starve yourself. If you eat too little, then your body will go into starvation mode and stop burning calories.

MOD MOD MOD!!PLEASE HELP ME.I'm so out of shape and i can hardly run 1 mile in pe I need some ideas to help m get in shape.Because im only 12 I have to where size 7 or 9 jean when my friends where 0. So i makes me feel really fat please help!!ThanksSmile




Hey girl, not at all! That just means you have a different bone structure. That said, you can bring up your running endurance. Believe it or not, I was just like you before I started jogging at home. Now I can run three to four miles without breaking a sweat because I worked up to it and jogged at home/around my neighborhood.

MOD MOD MOD- I have a question. I am not overweight but I would like to lose 5-10 lbs before next Spring Break so I can wear a bikini. I need help starting off this "journey" to a better fit me, Help please?




Here you go! http://www.girlslife.com/category/get-fit-fast.aspx Just remember it's great to be healthy, but don't overdo it. Look up a BMI calculator, find out whata healthy weight is for your height, and stick to maintaining that. Looking good in a bikini doesn't mean you have to lose weight.

If you’re on a diet and you’re really, really craving something, go ahead and eat it. You’ll be able to reinforce your diet longer if you don’t view it as oppressive.
