| Q: |
|
I am 30 years old. I've had a c-section and my left ovary removed. (All about 3 years ago) I was cut both times from side to side in the same area. I carry most of my weight in the stomach area. Is it possible that I can have a flat stomach again? |

We at fatburn.com are not medical doctors, so we cannot address your specific situation and suggest you consult your physician for advice. However, it IS possible for you to lose weight and regain your figure. Read the article, "How do I get a six-pack?" for information on losing weight and spot reduction (it's a myth!). The truth about weight loss is very simple. If you burn 3500 calories MORE than you consume, you will lose one pound. fatburn.com can help you set goals, track your calories in and out and show your progress week by week. |

I know if you consume 500 more calories then you gain weight, but what if those calories come from fruits and vegetables.... will you still gain more weight even though they are healthy and fat free? |

Calories are calories; if you consume 3500 more calories than you burn of ANYTHING, you will gain one pound. It doesn't matter if they come from cheesecake or carrots. Of course, eating foods low in fat and calories is recommended for good health. |

| Q: |

I am 16 years old. I dance three or four times a week on a dance team, and I want to try to lose about 10-15 pounds. I don't know how to figure out how many calories I burn dancing, so I don't know how to start losing weight. Can you help me? |

Dancing is a great form of exercise and since it's fun too, you are more likely to stick with it. The fatburn.com activities page contains the caloric burn rate for over 150 different exercises (including dance). Since you are under 18, we urge you to check with your doctor AND your parents before embarking on any type of weight loss plan. In order to lose one pound you need to burn 3500 calories; to lose one pound a week, you need to burn 500 calories more than you consume EVERY DAY. fatburn.com is a tool that can help because when you enter the foods you eat and the exercise you perform, fatburn.com will show you how many calories you are really burning and consuming everyday. Again, check with your parents before signing up for fatburn.com or beginning ANY weight loss program. |

Is it a better workout if you jog/walk on incline? |

They both have there good and bad. Jogging is a great cardiovascular workout and burns calories at a very high rat. But, it has more impact to your body than walking.
Walking on an incline is also a great form of cardiovascular train and has very little impact to the body. But it will burn fewer calories in the same amount of time as jogging.
We suggest you do the one that is most comfortable for you. This way you will be more likely to stick with it.
Or mix it up so you have some variety.

how can i run faster and longer |
|
| Asked By Anonymous |
| A: |
|
Increase your strength for running faster. This would include a well designed strength training program that would require at least for days of heavy lifting in the gym for at least one hour.
For running longer you increase your aerobic capacity. This would include cardiovascular training almost daily where you work all the systems to increase their capacity.
Consult a good trainer for more specifics.
