Get Six Pack Abs

My fiance has a chihuahua that he bought 5 years ago from a gas station (errrr…). She is the SWEETEST dog but ALL she wants to do is EAT EAT EAT EAT EAT. We feed her a high quality dog food twice a day. Until recently, she shoved all of the food into her mouth pretty much at once and swallowed. Now, we have been adding some water to the food to slow her down. We walk her, but not as much as we should. She is 19 lbs…the vet said she should be between 12-14 lbs max…but 4 lbs on such a small dog is a LOT. We really can’t feed her less than we are feeding her, from a nutritional standpoint. But she never seems full. Is there anything we can do to help her lose weight? Any tips to make her meals more "filling" and "fulfilling"? We recently got a new puppy and she is nasty to it whenever its meal time because she wants to steal the puppy’s food. We don’t let her, of course…

We want her to be healthy and have a long life. But with the extra weight, we know that is cutting down on that, and her quality of life. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, until about 4 months ago, she was eating a big standard poodle’s food at least once a day that my fiance didn’t know about, which is why she got so fat. Rather than losing weight since we stopped that from happening, she just stays at 19 lbs.
I don’t think we are over indulging… she gets 1/4 cup Canidae dry kibble in the AM and 1/4 cup dry kibble at night.

She will NOT chew a chew toy unless she steals it from the puppy.

Maybe she does have thyroid issues? I mean, she’s HUGE.

Also, like I said, he got her from a gas station…I highly doubt she is purebred or anywhere even close =) The vet said for her frame 12-14 lbs would be healthy.
We also tried green beans as a filler…she dilligently ate around them. She’s naughty =(

You can feed her less and you must if you love her. First, feed her a good quality food such as Wellness Small Breed – that’s what I feed all 4 of my Chis. If has all the nutritional value she needs.

Feeding twice a day is fine, but you MUST cut her portions down. Sometimes, even reducing her meal size by a few kibbles twice a day will help – but she does have a lot to lose. Next, get her an anti-gulp bowl. It is a dog dish with small projections build into the bowl and the dog HAS to slow down to work around the objects to get the food. One of my Chis was a gulper – so much so that he often threw up after eating too fast. This bowl did the trick. They have them at Petco/Petsmart/Internet, etc.

Then, exercise. There’s no getting around that. Two, 30 minute walks a day should do the trick.

I have gone through this procedure with one of my dogs who had to lose one pound. That doesn’t sound like much, but he only weighs four pounds and had been up to five.

But, you will have to be consistent and don’t try to make her lose too quickly. It will come off.

Good luck.

ADD: Just as an example – I had been feeding my overweight Chi 20 Wellness Small Breed kibbles twice a day. I cut it down to 15 kibbles twice a day and he lost the one pound he needed to lose in about 5 weeks. I also stepped up his exercise.

im currently at 190 lbs and 5’9 with alot of muscle, but what i’m striving for is a loss of about 15 lbs to get me that leaner look. ive cut back on alcohol consumption, snacking on unhealthy foods, and late-night eating. i’m looking for any suggestions on techniques or exercises that can help me achieve weight loss and ripped muscle.

Of all the mails I get sent every day, by far the most common – from men and women alike – are questions about how to lose stubborn belly fat.

A pot belly… love handles… the spare tire… call it what you will. It seems to be the area of your body that you’d really like to do something about.

You’ve been trying for years to rid yourself of that spare tire around your middle. Read on, and I’ll explain what you can do to get rid of it once and for all.

Not only is a firm, flat stomach the ultimate symbol of sex appeal, researchers have found that losing abdominal fat is one of the most important steps you can take to stay healthy for life.

It won’t surprise you to learn that the best way to lose abdominal fat is to eat right and exercise regularly. And there’s a growing body of research showing that the fastest way to burn off the fat from your belly is with a combination of weight-training and aerobic exercise.

With any exercise routine, you are unlikely to have success unless you focus on your diet and nutrition at the same time.

The combination of diet, cardio and strength training exercises will help kick-start your body to lose that belly fat.

Diet plan:

- You always want to combine a source of protein and a complex carbohydrate with every meal. Or you can substitute “good fats,” such as nuts, seeds and foods made with olive oil, for the carbs

- Water is incredibly important. Drink it abundantly. You should exclude fruit juices in order to help limit sugar intake

- Five to six small meals a day, every two to three hours, is the best way to go. The body digests food more efficiently this way, and you’re less likely to succumb to sugary snacks, because you’re not as hungry

Cardio Exercise:

You should make sure to incorporate 30 to 45 minutes of cardiovascular exercise into your workout three to four times a week. It will help you shed pounds, increase your metabolism and improve your cardiovascular health.

Body Workout:

- Push up straight into a plank position on the mat. This exercise is a compound exercise that includes the arms and legs as well as the core muscles, all critical to eliminating body fat. When you do a pushup, you have to keep your abdominal or core muscles tight when lowering your body to the ground

- Ball Tucks: While sitting on the Resist-a-ball, do tucks to strengthen both the lower and upper abdominals

- Using a medicine ball, you can twist and throw for an advanced workout. In a sitting position, you twist to strengthen the obliques and throw the ball to get a full body workout

Most people think that in order to get that V shaped upper body like comic book super heroes, they only have to develop big broad back muscles and lats. Well, by having broad back muscles and well developed lats is only part of the equation to get a V shape upper body. For complete V shape upper body development, you will also need to build a powerful chest, big strong shoulder muscles or commonly called deltoids or delts for short and a slim waist.

We shall discuss how to build big shoulder muscles in this article. You see, you may have a wonderful six pack abs or well defined chest muscles, but when you are in your street clothes, no one can see them. But if you have that massive V shape with bulging shoulder muscles, your body frame will tell the world that under those clothes is a well defined body of a gym warrior.

As with building any muscles in your body, intensity is the key to building big deltoids. Your shoulder muscles are made up primarily of the anterior deltoid (front delt), medial deltoid (middle delt) and posterior deltoid (back delt). All 3 parts of your shoulder muscles must be targeted to build well defined and big strong deltoids that threaten to burst through your shirt. The problem here is that most people do not know that they must work on all 3 shoulder muscles and do most shoulder workouts by just concentrating on the anterior delts with exercises such as military press. Furthermore, working only on anterior delts could lead to over training your shoulder muscles because many other exercises like the bench press, dips and push ups also recruit shoulder muscles for its movements.

Your should be careful when working on your shoulder muscle exercises as your shoulders joints are very susceptible to injuries and therefore proper form in executing the exercises is crucial. Don’t let bad exercise form cause you injuries that may be permanent and put you out of the gym forever. One common injury prone exercise is the narrow grip upright row. Although this is a great trapezius and shoulder muscle exercise, it should be avoided because this exercise invokes unnatural and awkward shoulder joint movement.

So what exercises are good for building big strong deltoids? Well, besides the military presses, try Arnold Press, Lateral Raise, Bent Over Lateral Raises, Shoulder Width Upright Row and Shoulder Cable exercises. Ask your personal trainer or read up on how to perform these exercises in excellent form for great shoulder muscle development.

Remember that you must also develop other aspects such as a big broad chest, wide back muscles and flared lats as well as a slim waistline to get that much coveted V shaped upper body.

im 15 5’6 135 with a great amount of muscle but not much in the abdominals. i’m running a lot just wondering what foods to eat.

turkey

will running with heavier clothing increase the fat loss while i run, if not what will?

It would help a bit, though i don’t recommend it until you are alreayd a decent runner, you don’t want to sweat yourself into passing out.

1. Eat about 6 small complete meals throughout the day (fish, almonds, walnuts, and lean proteins in general, plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, and complex multigrain carbohydrates) spaced out about every 2-3 hours. Consume between 1500-2500 calories a day.
2. Do NOT starve yourself, do NOT binge eat.
3. Be as active as you can; nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knockout 10 elevated push-ups.
4. Eat some spicy foods; take a decent amount of vitamin C, and drink between a half-gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day.
5. No more soda. Ever.
6. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.
7. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.
8. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Jumping Jacks, Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, back raises, glute ham raises, burpees)
9. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more then 9.
10. Avoid anything deep-fried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.

Or, what is the best way to lose belly fat after child birth?

Breast Feed.It;s not only best for the baby but the amount of calories it burns in 1 hour is around 1,000. That combined with the production of milk really works to tighten up the belly. It has someting to do with shrinking the uterus faster. I had two babies who were both breast fed and by my six week check I only had 10 lbs to go and an almost flat stomach.
