Q&A for How to Transform Your Body

When choosing a goal, try to plan it around a time frame with a very clear ending. For example, you could say that you want to lose 5 lbs by a wedding you have to go to in 2 months, or you could choose your birthday. Whatever it is, having a clear finish line in sight will help you to set and achieve your goal.

Burning calories by any means will help in losing weight, as long as you're burning more calories than you take in. However, you'd lose weight more quickly by a cardio means such as running, biking or swimming.

That depends on you, for the most part, and how much effort you're willing to put into your transformation. With a reasonable amount of health eating and exercise, you could see changes in a month or two.

It is a little tricky but yes, you can. The key to gaining weight is your calorie intake. To gain one pound of bodyweight ,you need to consume 3500 calories. The first goal is to figure out how many calories it takes you currently to maintain your weight, then add accordingly. Add 500-750 calories a day over what you need to maintain, so you can gain 1-1.5 lbs per week. Anything over that will be almost impossible to stay lean and gain weight. Keep in mind as you begin to lift weights that doing some steady-state cardio at the end of your workout will help burn fat, but adding all of this will also burn more calories, so you need to take that into account.

There are numerous protein powders that have no lactose in them and you can simply mix them with water.
