How do you loose weight when your schedule doesn't allow you to exercise or eat 3 meals a day?

Its pretty cut and dry for a friend of mine. Their schedule doesn't allow them time to exercise at all or have three square meals a day. I don't know what to say to them.

They have come to me for help and now I am asking you for help. Asked by ArabianKnightress 26 months ago Similar Questions: loose weight schedule exercise eat meals day Recent Questions About: loose weight schedule exercise eat meals day Health.

That's what everyone says, but they are just making excuses. They can still do it It just takes a bit more planning. I now work at two different schools and have to commute a lot.

I’m out of my house at 7 am and get home at 7:30 pm. I have 30 minutes for lunch before I have to head out to catch a train that gets me to my afternoon/evening class. I have tried a lot of different things.

What works for me is making sure I have a good breakfast to start the day. I usually have oatmeal (the real stuff not instant) with raisins and some walnuts thrown in and some chopped up apple, and I bring a yogurt to have on my break. Everyone can take a 10 minute break no matter what their job is.

I can’t eat a full meal when I get home and still lose weight, eating that late in the evening and then going to sleep doesn’t work for me. So, I eat a larger lunch, like chicken and veggie stir fry with brown rice, a grilled veggie sandwich with cheese or a nice big salad with shedded chicken. (I don’t eat any processed foods, I make everything myself so I know it what is in it.

That it is fresh and healthy) I always include a piece of fresh fruit and take a baggie of whole wheat crackers some veggies sticks or a power bar in case I get the munchies and don’t forget the water. I don’t drink anything but water during the day. When I get home I have something light; because it is so late.

Usually a piece whole grain toast with some almond or cashew butter and honey, a pot of tea and some slice fruit with some greek yogurt to dip it in. I use to have a tread mill and would get up at 4 am to use it 4 days a week, but it gave out and I haven’t had the funds to replace it. I get a lot of walking in during the day.

Heck I walk 30 city blocks between catching all the trains and buses to and from work, but on the weekends you will find me riding my bike, or going on a hike with a friend. There are lots of ways to fit it in. Even if they are working out only on Saturday and Sunday.

It’s better than not at all. Anyway, if your friends really want to lose weight there are always ways around schedules and eating times. They just need to make a plan that works for them and stick to it.

Exercises doesn't mean you have to do pushup, etc. it could mean walking to and from somewhere. You can do exercises at your desk, like lifting each leg up and down, putting some weights on your legs while lifting your legs. You can do exercise when you clean up your home.

As far as weight is concern, your friend needs to eat, period. Your friend can have a lite salad, such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and with a nonfat or lite salad dressing (1 tbl. ) around 2 or 3 cups.

Take carrots, celery and other veggies, fruits, bottles of water. If you don’t have time to cut up a salad, eat it whole. Tomatoes and cucumbers, green, yellow and red peppers taste great.

Perhaps, your friend can get a less stressful job or change the schedule. If your friend has time to eat so that he/her has weight to lose, then that person has time to eat properly. I will assume that your friend eats out, so even a mcdonald has salads.

Just watch out for the dressing. Of course, people need proteins, like meats, beans, poultry, nuts, etc. it isn’t easy, at all, to lose weight and I know that from experience, but I have learned that eating 4 to 6 meals a day is better than 3 meals. However, you still need to watch your calories, fat and carbs.

There are plenty of books out there that will help, both for exercises and weight loss. There are exercises for the handicapped, that teaches them to do it sitting down. The fact is that the weight and the exercises won't happen until your friend puts in the effort.

Thinking about, it or asking for help is the easy part, doing it will have to be from your feiend. Horrorfan's Recommendations Can I Exercise Sitting Down?

I think your friend should take a look at her prioritiesand her desire to eat and live in a healthy manner. Maybe a time management system would help her. It takes very little time to set up 3 healthy meals.

Fruits and vegetables don't need any preparation other than cutting and bagging. If she is so busy she can't prepare them she can buy healthy, prepared food in a grocery store that take very little time to prepare. Some situps AM & PM take 2-3 minutes a day.

Push ups Am & PM take 3 minutes a day. Aerobics takes 30 minutes a day. It sounds to me that your friend's life is out of control and she needs to make a decision on what is important to her.

I do not understand why this person can not have three meals a day. First of all you get up in the morning early enough to have breakfast before leaving for work. This is the most important meal of the day.

This get's your body going. Now ar around noon time it is time for lunch. Please do not tell me that this person doesn't get a lunch.

It is required by law that people get lunch, either a half hour or a fool hour. People that work at a job like shift work are thge only people that I know that do not get a lunch. But they are expected by the Company and uncle same to be able to eat on the job.

So now this person receives lunch. At the end of the work day you leave your job and go home, were it is now up to you to leave enough time to eat dinner. It could be as soon as that person get's home or a few hours later.

So we have now established that there is no reason that this person can not be eating three meals a day. It is up to them to change there life style. Since eating and staying healthy go to gether.

As for exercise, there are many people out there that do not get the time to exercise. Many do not want to. Others that really do, find ways to do things while they are at work or while doing other activity.

Then again the busy schedual might already include exercise that you do not relize they are getting.

I have lost almost 15 pounds by not eating three meals a day. I usually eat only two. In other words, I realized that one of my weight problems was this eating at noon because it was "lunchtime" even tho I wasn't necessarily hungry.

So I began to wait and noticed that I wasn't actually hungry until 2:00 or 3:00. So I eat then and I'm not hungry again before bedtime: weight not eaten is weight "lost. " I am on my bike most mornings, but that's physical therapy and it isn't more than 90 minutes (usually 60-75), which isn't that much exercise.

Your friend could pull some extra time out of this non-schedule and bike to work, no? Oh yeah, New Jersey. No.

Suggest that they run instead of walk to where they go (which burns the same calories but gets the cardio-vascular going a bit better. ) And if they watch TV, set up an exercycle or treadmill in front of the TV (this is what the pay-per-month gyms do! ) But eating less is the first step.

Oh, and let me not forget to repeat my open-source (it's not patented) dish of legumes + citrus, such that the legumes loosen the intestines and the citrus tighten the intestines, making for a very low-cal dish that produces no gas in the intestines.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
