I’m trying to lose weight.. I’m 6′1" and about 210 and I want to hit 160 if possible. I was told that eating small and healthy, natural foods + daily cardio exercise = weight loss. However I have asthma and my idea if cardio is jogging and running and maybe aerobics. Sadly I can hardly run about 200 feet without having to use an inhaler. I’m really wanting to lose weight and it really bothers me that it seems harder than i thought.. Any tips or advice???

Ah… This is really tough. You will need to sloooowly get your lungs into shape so you can go longer distances at a moderate pace. Try doing yoga breathing exercises every day, maybe 30 minutes straight. Hop on the exercise bike and do go as long as you can at a slow pace (50-70 rpm). Bicycling is less aerobic and breathing intensive, so you can burn calories without having to breath really hard. If you work at it, I think you could end up going 1-2 hours straight without having to breath really hard.

I hope this helps!

5 Healthy Tips For Weight Loss

1. More Meals, Smaller Portions: Research has shown that eating 5-6 smaller meals a day, instead of 3 large meals drastically increases your metabolism. Try health bars or protein shakes as meals replacements. Make sure you eat smaller portions to allow your body to properly process your meals.

2. Vitamin and Nutrients. It is so important to get the proper vitamins and minerals EVERY day! With our fast pace lives, its so hard to eat healthy. You must make sure at a minimum you are taking a high grade multi vitamin everyday. Ask a physician to recommend one for your age, gender, and lifestyle. Yes, it makes a difference!

3. Take the Stairs - This is meant both literally and figuratively. Literally take the stairs when you have the option. It's a great way to get the blood flowing and burn some calories, just think of the elevator as the easy way out. Take it a step further and apply this concept to everything you do. If you have an office job, find a close place to walk to lunch everyday. Stand up and stretch out once and our for a few minutes. Are bodies were built to move!

4. Laugh: This may sound silly, but laughing is an amazing way to burn calories. It also flexes every muscle known in your abdominal core. Surround yourself with funny people, you will be happier and burn some calories too.

5. Don't Eat Late at Night- One of the biggest mistakes people make is eater big portions late at night. Make sure you don't eat within 4 hours of when you go to sleep, or even lay down. This gives your body enough time to properly digest your food while your still active.
