I just love answering these weight loss questions. Here’s another:
Question: does anyone know of an EFFECTIVE workout to lose weight from my stomach and one for thighs.
and an EFFECETIVE workout to gain muscle in my arms?
Answer: This article is inspired by a lot of the questions people have e-mailed to me since I’ve had this site up. I must have answered this question 100’s of times by now. The questions are usually something like "How can I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?" or "I want to lose fat but gain muscle at the same time, how can I do it?" If you went into a gym and took a poll of what everyone’s goal was, I can bet that most, if not all, would say to gain muscle and lose fat. I doubt there is anyone who just wants to lose fat, they want to gain muscle while they are at it, and visa-versa! So, is it? Is it possible to both lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? No, it is NOT possible, and I will not only tell you why its not possible, but I’ll also tell you how you can do both, just not at the same time.
To lose fat, what do you have to do? You have to do lots of cardio, eat a low carb/low fat/lower calorie diet, and of course, lift weights. To gain muscle, what do you have to do? Do little or no cardio, eat a high calorie/higher carb/higher fat diet, and again, lift weights. Did you notice something there? Yup, they are complete opposites. Trying to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time would be like trying to sit and stand at the same time. It just can’t be done. This is why most people who are trying to do both at the same time see no results and give up. So, then how can it be done? How can you lose fat and gain muscle if you can’t do both at the same time? Simple, you don’t do them at the same time. You do them in phases.
Another flabby arms question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I Have Slightly Flabby Arms…and an Ugly Bulgy Stomach!! But I'm Cute & Sexy Otherwise! Please Help!?
Answer: The human body is like a machine. Its performance depends on how you treat it.
Chances are what you eat is not suited to your lifestyle/metabolic rate. That’s why the unused portions of carbohydrates are stored in your body - arms and stomach in your case.
The easiest way to do get rid of this extra to switch a meal. I take a meal replacement and have lost extra inches round my waist and some weight. It’s not rocket science; it’s actually fairly easy. I personally lost around 9kg and may be 4 inches round my waist in a few months; slow and steady. And since I have not gone back to my old inappropriate diet, I’m not going back to my old shape.
If you have time, you can do specific exercises targeting your ‘problem areas’, and aerobic exercise to keep you in shape, and increase your metabolic rate.
Don’t worry, it’s just a small change in your lifestyle that will make you healthier and then happier.
Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

It takes a whole week of running on the treadmill to get my stomach flat again, why does this happen every time i eat the littlest thing? Im getting really annoyed.
Answer: make a balance of eating normal and working out. could be because your bodys not use to fatty foods no more
I just love answering these weight loss questions. Here’s another:
Question: I’ve just started working out again recently, after stopping for about three months (I had stuff going on.) During those three months, I gained some weight, and it settled right around my lower tummy, so now it looks like I have love handles.
I’ve started doing the elliptical for half an hour seven days a week on a high level, and walking for an hour at night. I burn about 800 calories on the lliptical, and combined with the walking, I think I’m doing well. But, it has been pretty much pointless because I haven’t seen any results.
I was wondering if there were any exercises that you all have had success with that get rid of love handles, or squishiness over the obliques. I tried 70 situps a day for a week, but then my stomach seemed to stick out more. Any help?
Thanks in advance. 
Answer: doing that ammount of cardio every day of the week should be giving you results!!!
…that is if you are also cutting down on yoour food intake!!
…so cut down on the ammount of food you eat…drink a ton of water…and keep doing what you;re doing with the elliptical!!!
A tough weight loss question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: Do you think it’s appropriate to take them? Also will they stop my stomach rumbling?
Answer: Weight loss pills are junk, in my honest opinion.
And don’t take ANYTHING without your doctors approval.
