Mary asks…

What are some diet recipes that contain meat?

My boyfriend is a country man, and I can’t cook a single thing without meat! Soup isn’t filling enough, and sometimes I can get him to eat a salad…on the side. Every diet recipe I look up either has chicken breast or fish. Well, those are expensive! Does anyone have some good recipes or even just ideas that I can feed this carnivore?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Beef is not necessarily high in calories. It’s the fat that makes them fattening.

Lean hamburger, flat iron steaks, flank steaks and leaner sirloin steaks are good choices.

You might have to experiment a little but there are millions of recipes out there you can alter easily by leaving out fattening ingredients or replacing them.

Chicken breast is really expensive if you buy it boneless and skinless but if you buy it skin and bone on it can be much cheaper. It’s easy to pull the skin off and the bones help keep it moist when it cooks and adds a lot of flavor.

Mandy asks…

Can anyone recommend any Yeast-Free Diet recipes or meal/snack ideas? Or tips on how to stay on track?

My wife has just gone onto a Yeast-Free diet and is struggling as she has a sweet tooth and is missing the suger and especially the chocolate. She has been suffering headaches, tiredness and mood swings.

Can anyone offer tips on what she can do to stay on track or even any foods she can eat a little to treat herself?

Recipes or ideas for snacks in particular – and also breakfasts, lunches and dinners – would be helpful. Anything you can offer would be appreciated.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Wow, this is a very challenging diet. I went on it after I had my first child. The best thing to do is focus on what you CAN eat. Here is a list:

Proteins:
Eggs
Beef
Chicken
Seafood
Turkey
Pork
Lamb
Duck
Pheasant
Goose
Veal
Cornish Hen
Nuts, Peanut Butter, Almond and Cashew Butter

Vegetables:
Asparagus
Avocado
Beets
Broccoli
Carrots (limited)
Cauliflower
Celery
Eggplant
Green Beans
Leaf Vegetables (Lettuce, Kale, Collards, Mustard, Greens, Swiss Chard)
Onions
Peas
Peppers
Potatoes (in moderation)
Radishes
Squash
Tomatoes
Turnips

Misc:
Oatmeal
Hummus
Seeds (Sunflower, Pumpkin, Sesame)

I have some recipes on my website that might work for your wife’s diet. Here is the link to one for sesame crackers that does not have any yeast or leavening in it; high in protein, it is one of my favorites:

I hope this helps and good luck to your wife. I felt great after I did this diet, it was more than worth it.

Sandra asks…

What are some good liquid diet recipes?

I am not really looking to lose weight but I am having jaw surgery which requires me to go on a liquid diet for recovery. I am a person who enjoys her junk/comfort food so I am dreading this part of my surgery. Does anyone know any honest to good recipes or at least a website where I can get them?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Gaining terrific recipes isn’t one thing straightforward. Positive you will find some terrific areas to get them on-line but to really uncover unique areas you will need to search tough… Nicely I did and because of this I discovered some excellent internet sites to go to I extra a single that I use all to time to prepare dishes just like the ones you are seeking for. These types of recipes are really straightforward to get. Dont waste your time hunting ive extra a really terrific place in which I get mine to ensure that it should be a little easier. Nicely… I believed that only I liked this type of cuisine. So should you be a lover too then this is a no brainer to go there and uncover some terrific dishes. Yummy I love these sorts of recipes, its far more about cooking time and method to produce them taste really terrific. Why not attempt a few on them. Using the ideal pots and pans tends to make the world of variation in the recipes that you’re preparing just add water… Thats how straightforward and straightforward the guidelines are to adhere to…

How do I lose weight fast?

I’m 135 lbs and I’m only 11 years old. I have huge thighs and three rolls of fat on my stomach. My mom is making me play sports but I’d rather be reading. How do I lose weight easily and fast? Help!! Thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

I lost weight simply by drinking water with my breakfast lunch or dinner. When I went out to eat I ordered a glass of water. If I got tired of water, I would squeeze some lemon in it for flavor..drinking water really does help. No soda!

Susan asks…

How To Lose Weight Fast And Easily PLEASE HELP?

Ok a while back, i stopped eating for a few days and lost a pound. But theeen…. i started eating normal again i gained that pound back and i gained another one. XP anyways, i just need an easy and successful diet plan. Please give me any ideas or plans u have. Thank u!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Lol, listen carefully, The reason u gained that pound back and even one more is because u starved yourself. When u dont eat for a while, ur body goes into survival mode. And then anything u do eat will go automatically turn into fat, so DO NOT EVER starve your self. Losing weight is very easy, i have lost 50 pounds and i have to lose weight every week for wrestling, 10 pounds in a week lol. But listen. This is what i would reccemond for you. Wake up at least by 8:30 every day. For breakfast eat a piece of fruit, not a whole garden, but just a little portion, you need to take multivitamins too. And Omega 3 fish oil. Omega 3 fish oil is very good for losing weight as in can burn fat cells. Its almost like a fat burner lol.
If you must have a snack before lunch have some pretzels . But try not to eat the snack. At lunch time have make a healthy salad. But dont use dressing lol, dressing is terrible for you. For dinner you should eat fish, fish is very healthy and contains noo fat. It has tons of protein in it too which will make u feel fuller. For excercise you should run a mile a day, do 100 sit ups, And just stay active! This will work, trust me. It is quite easy lol

Sandra asks…

Thomas asks…

weight loss losing fat and gaining muscles?

OK hears the run down im obese but my body looks normal the only thing is that i have a gut that pokes out and man jugs. But my gut doesn’t over lap or any thing my legs and arms are normal with a little bit of fat on both. i recently started going to the gym and hears what i do first i start off on the treadmill for an hour every 20 min i rest. i start my speed off on 2.5 and every 5 min i rise it 5 more and end off with 4.0 now does that help me burn calories or do i have to start off a little faster ? after that i work on my gut doing knee lifts and a crunch machine i do each of this work out 10 times in a set of 5 totaling 50 times how long after would i see results ? and after i hit the weights doing everything possible using dumb bells using the bar with weight on the end and here is the weight i use when working out( 20, 25, 30, 40 ) with these numbers can i build a lot of muscle and also does lifting weights burn calories ? and the reason im doing all of this is because i just turned 18 and recently tried joining the U.S. Marine Corp and they said i was to overweight being that im 5’9 and last time i check i was 220 so im trying to lose this weight because all i ever wanted to do was serve since i was a little kid. Im working my ass off because all my years growing up till i was 6 i was fat and a huge U.S. Army supporter till age 16 when i first learned about the Marines watching Generation Kill and how hardcore and disciplined they are and how they are marksmen with almost any weapon also the respect and camaraderie that comes along with being a Marine.( i know was going of track there ). But what i really want to know is with the information i provided can i lose my weight by the time summer hits June 2011 because that’s the year and time i graduate high school? also im trying to cut back on eating habits witch is easy ( Ive been through it before) the only thing i cant give up is juice and soda will this effect me and how? if yes how much should i drink a day 1or 3 cups a day ? also please give me your advise on what to eat work out tips and diet and if your a Marine and you so happen to come across this question please give me advise on preparing my self for boot

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hey man, you sound desperate. Here’s what I’ve got for you. Firstly, this juice thing and soda thing, you’ve got to knock it on the head. Do you know how much refined sugar those things have? Look, you can ween yourself off of it day by day, but you’ve got to want it. If you need to drink juice, water it down with some of those flavored waters. If you need to drink a soda, try those diet ones, Pepsi Max is great.

I was in your shoes back in 1975 when I wanted to join the British armed forces the Parachute Regiment, I dreamt of it since I was a kid . When I went for my medical the doctor told me I had to lose weight, nearly 2 stone. I was gutted, and I fixed it in my mind that I was going to get fit and sign up and nothing was going to stop me. In those days there wasn’t much advice on diet and exercise as there is today, you just got to figure out what’s best for YOU. Well I worked hard for six weeks and lost nearly 2 stone and reached my target weight for enlistment. When I went back for my medical the doctor couldn’t believe I’d lost the weight so quickly. If I can do YOU can do it, “hoo ha” as the marines say.

I went on to serve for 4 great years and left with an exemplary record. So what should you do? First of all you’ve got to get in the right mindset. You want to join the Marines and YOU WILL! From the information you’ve given you don’t seem too fat and by summer 2011 YOU’LL do it. You’re already half way there with your gym work. Be careful though, you may be doing too much, it’s not quantity but quality you’re after. Back in February 2010 I needed to lose weight (I’m 51 now) and it wasn’t easy until I found out about a guy called Jon Benson. Jon is a health guru and author. He taught me all the Do’s and dont’s about losing body fat. I’ve now lost over 40 pounds of fat and I feel great.

In the source box I’ll give you a link to my blog and a link to one of Jon’s best selling books “7 Minute Muscle”. You’ll love it, my nephew used it to pack on some added muscle before he went to Afghanistan, he’s in the Dragoon Guards. Here’s another tip and it may sound a bit wacky, I thought so until I tried it. About 20 minutes a day I meditate visualizing myself fit and healthy strong and virile and believe me it helps. Just pop on an ipod and listen to some calming music, I like to listen to waves crashing on rocks or rain falling. You can buy mp3 downloads of these from Itunes. Well, I hope my advice helps and remember, focus, you’re gonna be the meanest, roughest, toughest marine your drill sergeant has ever seen. HOO HA! Go get um buddy.
Good luck
Colin

George asks…

What are ways to get a man to know I am interested in him without seeming desperate?

I’am interested in a guy who is a recruitor for the Marines. I don’t want to come across pushy/desperate/overbearing or like Im easy or a whore. I am not good at flirting. I dont want to risk scaring him off for good and not standing a chance to at least be his friend. I am losing weight and have literally lost 60 pounds since Febrauary. He is on my facebook page but we haven’t had any contact with eachother. I have thought about emailing him to ask him for tips on weight loss but he already sees that I am friends with other marines. I have thought about randomly asking him a queston but dont want him to think Im stupid or lame for asking. Any ideas on a way to catch his attention and get him to pay attention to me more? Most of the time I feel like Marine Men judge me for being overweight~ but like I said I am losing weight now. It just isn’t coming off fast enough which my Dr wants me to not have it come off fast.
This Marine recruitor is very good looking~ I feel like even if I was skinnier already that I still wouldnt stand a chance with him. I am trying to improve me from the inside out.
He lives in the same state as me but in a different town. any ideas?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Next time you go out with your other marine friends, maybe you should ask him to come out with all of you. If in person contact isn’t the easiest thing for you to maneuver, then you can send him a facebook message. A great way to show interest in a guy, is to ask him about himself. Ask him questions about his interests and stuff and see where the conversation goes.

Lisa asks…

Getting rid of my beer gut/man boobs, any tips or input on my plan?

Now I am 5’8 and weigh about 160 lbs, which isn’t much for a male, or even considered overweight, but I am not a muscly guy, so I would say I have an easy 10 lbs on my stomach/man boobs of beer greatness.

I will also note, that I do not want to loose any of the muscle mass I do have.
Now I have never really had to diet or work out a lot(outside of job requirements) so I am new to this.

So I was thinking a high nutrition/low carbs diet, you know, the food that sucks, and I was going going to foot march around 4-6 miles a day with about 40lbs in my back pack for the next two weeks, as well as moderate weight lifting just to keep my muscles, twice a week for just a half hour or so. Also keeping my daily calories low, 1300ish.

Would their be any weight loss outlook in that? And would i Iose any muscle weight(I do not want this)?

Also note that I am a conditioned marcher so I do not need any input on that.
I feel like you guys are either being rude, or just not reading the details. I do not like to run it hurt my legs, So I march with extra weight for a long distance.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Muscles weigh more than fat.
But when you realize you need to diet, please also remember to eat a balanced meal.
You’re going to need to eat proteins.
No actually high protein/low carb diets are not really that bad.
What is bad is the fried foods and the simple sugar starches, such as potatoes, corn, sweet peas.(Probably, all your favorite foods)
While dieting there are a few simple “no-nos”.
No sour cream on your baked foods.
No sugar anything (Splenda and Equal are really good tasting sweetners)

Your age is also a factor, the older you get the harder it is to lose weight.

Despite what all thediet books say, as a dieter of more than 30+ years, I learned a few things over the years.
Butter is a natural fat & is better for you that margarine. Margarine is only a step away from being a plastic kid’s toy.

1500 calorie balanced diet is a great diet for a man. Men most of the time use mire calories than women, this is not a chauvinist statement, but a fact. Men are more likely to be out digging ditches than women. They exercise differently than women & their metabolisms are much more different.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Steven asks…

What are the different types of vegetarian diets utilized in society?

What are the different benefits and risks associated with vegetarian diets?
Are you for or against vegetarian diets?

Im am writing a paper on vegetarian diets and know nothing about them… can anyone help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The main types of vegetarian are ovo-lacto vegetarian, meaning someone who doesn’t eat meat, poultry, or fish but does eat eggs and dairy, and vegan, someone who doesn’t eat any animal products.

There are many benefits to vegetarian/vegan diets. Modern animal agriculture (factory farms) is extremely damaging to the environment and also inhumane for the animals. The meat, milk, and eggs it produces is not as nutritious as traditional pasture-based methods of livestock farming either.

Diets high in animal products are also associated with many serious health problems. Personally I think the animal products themselves are not the problem as much as the sheer quantity of animal products eaten in the Standard American Diet (double the amount consumed even 50 years ago) and the poor quality of modern animal products due to the harmful practice of grain-finishing and routine feeding of antibiotics and growth hormones.

Speaking of routine feeding of antibiotics, antibiotics fed to healthy livestock have been implicated in the rise of antibiotic resistant diseases such as MRSA. 70% of all antibiotics used in the US are fed to HEALTHY livestock to make them gain weight faster and keep them healthy in overcrowded, stressful conditions.

Eating a healthy, balanced vegetarian diet has no health risks whatsoever. (Eating an unhealthy vegetarian diet obviously does, but not any more than an unhealthy omnivorous diet.) Vegans need to be careful to get enough vitamin B12, which is only available naturally in animal products, but can be found in supplemented grains and other products now.

I’m personally an omnivore, but I average about 80-100% vegetarian meals in any given week, and a fair number of vegan meals as well, so I support both lifestyles fully.

George asks…

What are some diets for a a lactose intolerant vegetarian?

I’ve been having a lot of stomach pains for about 3 years now and I never noticed a pattern in it. Well I’ve finally found it. After I eat or drink a dairy product my stomach hurts. But I’m also a vegetarian. What are some foods I can eat and some diets to lose and keep the weight off?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m lactose intolerant too.
You can take loads of soy products like soya milk, taufu, beans stuffs. To keep weight off, you can take grain/wheat/brown bread instead of white bread. Brown rice, rice etc.
Stay off cheese & chocolates (reduce chocolate intakes & sugar). U can take honey & stay off carbonated drinks. These have loads of sugar.
U must exercise as well, diet itself won’t keep the weight off.
A normal 30mins. Run/walk would do daily or even housework will burn the carbs.

Carol asks…

Are there special diets for the elderly with gastrointestinal problems?

Please let me know if there is information about special diets or gastrointestinal problems and foods or diets that are available. Thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Anyone with GI problems might be on a special diet. There are so many organs involved in the digestive system with the stomach being the one most likely to be involved. You also have the gallbladder that controls the amount of bile and the pancreas with controlling the insulin as you digest the food. Then after the food goes through these systems the colon then is the final breakdown with is like the waste system where the final food either gets used or disposed of through the rectum. The GI doctor will let you know whatever special diet if any you need to be on. Good luck and God Bless
