| I am overweight by 40 pounds. Can you recommend a plan/formula to lose weight while working out and using supplements. I have mild high blood pressure. I am attending a gym. I am 49 years old, hispanic, and 5'8" . The only medicine I take is for high blood pressure (Hytrin). Please let me know.
Sincerely,
Atzael H.

| The best way to lose the weight and keep it off is to change your eating habits (maybe gradually) to low fat healthy eating and do aerobic exercises 3-5 times weekly for 10-20 minutes if beginner and 30-60 minutes if you have been on a good exercise program already.
A really good way to lose weight (and it seems like time flies by) is to start in a sport that you enjoy ex: volleyball, basketball, running, biking, etc.. That way you'll stick with it longer and enjoy doing it.

That is correct the best way to lose weight and keep it off is to join a recreation that you enjoy. I use to weigh 215 pounds I am 24 years old. I joined ball hockey in the winter and did a lot of mountain biking in the summer. Along with that, I took creatine and protein powders and I now weigh 190 pounds and am looking amazing. 25 pounds in 1 year and so far is staying off. Play sports and eat healthy.

My situation was similar--42 years old, taking blood pressure medicine, but I was morbidly obese at 296.5 pounds. I enrolled in a fitness and weight loss program at a local hospital that included a membership in their gym. Since I lost 106.5 pounds in about 11 months and don't have to take the BP meds anymore, I heartily recommend this kind of approach.
Find something similar near you that includes an evaluation (blood tests, percent body fat, etc.), nutrition counseling (food diary and evaluations, sessions on low-fat eating, how to eat out and not blow your regimen, etc.), and exercise planning. The people at the Wellness Center I went to were very supportive and at the weekly sessions you could talk to others about the challenges everyone faces. It's a lifestyle change, not a diet that you shuck after 3 months. I am coming up on my 1-year anniversary for reaching my goal weight and I have kept it off. By the way, I take only a multivitamin and extra Vitamin E--no supplements. I also didn't eliminate carbs or any kinds of foods, except deep-fried stuff. The program I did was called "FitWeigh" and it is available in other places. Go for it!
