I'm not going to diet to lose my body fat, I want to change my lifestyle into a much healthier one.
I've started:
- drinking *only* water; *no* soda, diet soda or any sugary drinks.
- eating a protein-filled lunch and dinner; I snack on natural crunchy peanut butter and nuts; *absolutely no* junk food, fast food or processed foods.
- lifting 5lbs dumbbells to tone my body (before that I was lifting 3lb).
- doing the "bike exercise" where I lay on the floor and pedal my legs in the air *intensely* for about an hour.
- (for a couple years) I have already been taking walks everyday for an hour. (***I would run, but I have been told by my psychiatrist that I shouldn't because my medication heats me up real quick and I pass out.***)
- getting 8 hours of sleep every night.
Will this help me tone my body and burn my body fat if I make this my lifestyle?
By the way, I'm a 20 year old female. I'm like 10 pounds underweight, but I still have A LOT of fat in my tummy area that I'm trying to flatten. Also, I'm 5"5 if that matters.
If you have any tips for me to lose my body fat and tone my body, please tell me, I'd appreciate it infinitely!
(I'm trying to get a healthy, fit body.)

Hiya! Dr.D here!
I am so happy that you are trying to get a healthy life style! it fills me with joy people try!!!!!!!! :D
I see your diet is pretty good. But make sure that for dinner, you get items from every part of the food pyramid, the main of course being vegetables or fruit.
As for excising, what your doing is great! But you should focus on exercises that aim toward the stomach if that is your main goal to lose fat there. Like crunches or planks. Those are really good. Not only do they help that region, but it also is the beginning steps for getting abs.
Hope I helped! I wish you good luck, and I say keep going with this life style. It will do so much good for you!
