James asks…

is easy weight loss tea a huge scam or for real?

I heard of this web page www.easyweightlosstea.com and offers a free trail. sounds too good to be true!
has anyone tried ordering tea from this site?
A lot of my friends are saying to go to a chinese market or store and buy the green tea there not on the internet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight management is a combination of several things. Tea can have a small effect, but you need to understand that your body is a system issue, not a single element is involved. To really understand weight management, you need to understand metabolic typing, the real roll of fat and oils and how they help you reduce weight, carbs and how they contribute to quick energy, but not long sustained energy, proteins and their roll in hormone production, etc.

A very good book that will give you some incite into all this is, “Life Without Bread” by Christian Allan, Ph.D. It is simple to understand and very good information. Listen to people who know what they are talking about, not marketing types or your friends that have no training in nutrition.

Green tea has a lot of good things, but also some things that are not so good. Caffeine and Fluorine are high in green tea. Fluorine depletes your body of iodine and many people can get thyroid problems from this. Having said that, there are forms of green tea that are available that have these elements removed. The problem is that you need to get a high quality and there is a huge amount of junk out there. If you are interested in a good green tea I drink each day, go to: (800) 370 – 3447 and order the green tea they sell. It is very concentrated form and they use a special process to remove the bad elements and preserve the good quality of the tea. 1 tsp. Is equal to 20 cups of green tea and you mix the concentrate with water. Tastes great and is very good for you.

some easy weight loss tips?

what are some quick and easy weight loss tips

weight loss cardiff answers:

Calorie control is the key. For every 3500 calories you burn, you loose 1 pound. Same thing for gaining, for every 3500 calories that you burn, you loose 1 pound.

Your body naturally burns a certain amount of calories per day WITHOUT exercise. Go to this link: http://walking.about.com/cs/calories/l/blcalcalc.htm. Put in your height, age, weight, and activity level and you’ll get home many calories you burn in a day.

For example, I naturally burn 1800 calories per day, so I decreased my calorie intake to just 1300 per day (1800-1300=500 calories burned per day) hence, with this, I would loose a pound a week (500×7=3500 calories burned per week) Follow me?

This reeeally works. I did this and lost 25 pounds in a few months!!! Combining this with exercise like jogging DRASTICALLY speeds up the weight loss. You’ll see the pounds melting off of you…Trust Me!!

Also, drink LOTS of water (2.5 liters/day), eat healthy (cut out sugar & processed carbs), and split your meals up into 4-5 SMALLER, more frequent meals per day instead of 3 large meals (this keeps your metabolism going strong throughout the day).

Sorry, this is so long, but trust me…this works and it’s easy once you get in the groove of it.

Maria asks…

What is the best exercise for weight loss? EASY 10 POINTS! (:?

What is the best exercise for weight loss? I heard it’s running.

* Bonus: Not mandatory: I am 14 years old girl, 5’2, and I weigh 120 pounds. I am not athetic, so I guess I’m a little chubby. Can anyone set up an exercise routine for me? 5 stars best answer for anyone that could. I also have a big stomach and butt – I’m trying the trim that off.

THANKS! (:

weight loss cardiff answers:

Eat less, exercise more…
Running is it, there’s nothing to it. Aim 30-60 minutes a day… I’d go for 60.

Sorry if confusing.

Please Help And THANK YOU!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The body is smart enough to prevent you from losing weight by going on a low calorie diet over the long term. Your metabolism will slow and I guarantee you will not lose weight this way. There have been many high quality scientific studies that show this.

I’ve tried most diets that have been published. The only diet that worked for me is one that I can continue as a new lifestyle and one that does not involve heavy investment in a program or surgery. It is considered radical by some industry medical advocates, but it is the healthiest diet according to other distinguished and less biased experts (Dean Ornish, T. Colin Campbell, Neal Barnard). I consume primarily a plant based diet (sometimes called vegan).

I lost 50 pounds and kept it off. Certain foods are verboten and are totally unnecessary for health:

+ Milk & Dairy & Whey protein
+ Meat, poultry, fish
+ Eggs (even the egg whites are excluded)
+ Junk foods (packaged foods, convenience foods, commercial juices, preservatives, refined carbohydrates, sugars, fats, MSG, aspartame, coloring, “natural flavoring”)

Our schools, even naturalpaths, have been influenced by industry. Objective scientific studies support the fact that you can eat a balanced/healthy and nutritious diet for life by going vegan. You must continue it for lifetime. Each day you should eat:

+ Leafy green vegetables (calcium) – two portions
+ Flax seed oil or ground flax seeds (Omega-3) or equivalent – one tablespoon
+ Whole grains and sprouted or cooked legumes (protein) – five portions
+ Vegetables (raw and steamed, go for variety) – five portions
+ Fruits (raw, go for variety) – two to three portions per day
+ A small handful of nuts or seeds is OK if you are not allergic to them.

If you eat legumes and whole grains each meal, you will discover that the vegetable protein reduces your appetite between meals by stabilizing your blood sugar. This helps extinguish the cravings for cheese, milk, ice cream, fat, butter, margarine, salt, aspartame, MSG, and other addictive and unnecessary ‘food-like’ products.

To start, I’d read Dr. Dean Ornish “The Spectrum.” Since you are motivated, I’d go for the most extreme diet, which is also the healthiest.

Please be careful with low calorie diets and the Atkins diets. These diet philosophies sell a lot of books, however, they have been shown to be ineffectual over the long-term from one scientific study to another scientific study.

A vegan diet is the first 50 pounds or so. After that, you will need to start a weight training program to build muscle and reduce fat.

Thomas asks…

will i lose weight running half a mile?

ive been running half a mile four days a week with a regular diet, i weigh 120 at 17, will i lose weight if i keep this up?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes this will help to bring your weight down, also consider eliminating calories from your diet if you want to speed it up.

I’m working on it at the moment with my friend, gym sessions plus a healthier diet 😛

Good luck with it!

Chris asks…

Can I lose weight by running on the treadmill everyday?

I need to lose about 30lbs by June 29th. I have been eating less calories and cutting out sugar from my diet. I have been running on the treadmill everyday for an hour and am not sure if this will help me. I was meeting with a trainer for strength training but I ran out of sessions and can not afford to go back. Any suggestions for faster weight loss?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well, you’re looking at close to 2lbs a week which is a pretty quick weight loss, but not outrageous.

If you want to lose 2 lbs a week, you need to be burning about 1k calories more then you consume per day. I burn about 600 calories in 30 minutes on a treadmill, but I’m probably bigger then you. That’s running about 3.5 miles in 30 minutes.

If you’re pretty heavy, running an hour plus a diet that would be breakeven without exercise might do it. If you’re closer to most women’s size, I’d guess you’d still need to eat slightly less then you’d burn without the running.

It’ll help for sure, keep the running up.

Keep the sugar out of your diet. Cut fried food too. You don’t want to overdiet or your body will go into shutdown mode, try to just eat controlled portions and make sure you’re eating a balanced diet. Most of us are eating too many carbs, not enough protien and vegetables.

Charles asks…

If you lose weight from slow jogging will your running become faster anyways?

You dont train fastt. You just slowly jog. But you continue and then lose weight. Will running become easier & yyou will eventully run faster?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes. The more you run the more your body will adapt to running. This will make it easier to run slow, and easier to run faster. The weight loss will mean you can run further and faster with less effort. Check out the body build of marathon runners. They are all very small and light and can run fast for a very long time. This trend is true even for middle distance athletes as well.

Good Weight Loss Plans for Vegetarians?

I am a vegetarian, but I am fairly interested in losing weight or becoming more healthy. Sure, vegetarianism is a healthier lifestyle, but I still feel like I could do more to live healthier. I was wondering if any of you had really healthy meal ideas for a me!

Thanks a bundle!
Oh, I do exercise.

And I mostly eat soups, pastas and salads. I was just trying to think of other things to eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Soups, salads, and pasta are fine for weight loss, as long as the pasta is whole grain pasta. Sweet potatoes are also excellent weight loss foods. Be careful not to eat fried foods, and avoid oily salad dressings. They can add more calories than the salad itself!

You might want to move toward being a vegan rather than a vegetarian. The most important factor in choosing weight loss foods is their calorie density. Calorie density is determined by the amount of fiber, water, and fat that are in a food. Since eggs and dairy products contain absolutely no fiber, they will never be as good in the “calorie density” department as whole plants foods will. To learn which vegan foods have a low calorie density and which ones don’t, see:

Helen asks…

What are some simple weight loss plans or ideas I can use?

I’m not overweight, but i’m really trying to cut down on the fat and lose a couple (hopefully more) pounds or so.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi Ashley! Because you’re not overweight, you don’t have to enroll to any weight loss programs out there. And I am pretty sure you don’t want to sweat, like me! I don’t want strenuous exercise, i’m too busy and sometimes i’m too lazy.

Here’s what I do daily, very very simple, to keep me from stocking on fats (despite the fact that I have a big appetite! Ahaha)

1. I drink water before I eat. This way I feel full so I eat less. Plus, I don’t drink water right after meal This makes me feel bloated. I wait for around 30 mins before I drink water.

2. I don’t sit down right away after meals. I feel like my belly is getting bigger every time I do that since it’s very full

3. I stay away from soda and iced teas. I’d rather drink fresh fruit juice (not the ones in can) and/or water

4. When I feel like reading a book while lying in bed, I lie 90 degrees from the wall with my feet and legs landing on the wall. They say it helps lessen belly fats

5. When I feel like dancing, I dance! It’s like an exercise but I’m enjoying it

6. I play basketball in arcades. Sometimes when I feel like it, I play basketball in arcades. It’s fun and exciting!

These are just simple tips. Hope it helps!

Daniel asks…

Any good weight loss plans for my horses?

I have a few overweight horses…. i was wondering if there are some other things that i can do other than lots of exercize and put them on a diet….. like suppliments or anything that im not doing?
I know about putting them on a diet and more exercize…. i need some ideas like about some EXERCIZE plans for them. ones that will burn fat and build muscle.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Horses are grazers, so the primary source of nutrition, should come from forage. (grasses, and/or high quality, clean hay) Everyone has preferences for the type of hay, such as alfalfa, bermuda, orchard, etc., just make sure it’s clean, dust and mold free, and make sure your horse will eat it! Some horses don’t like certain hays, and won’t touch them. Don’t count flakes of hay, go by weight of the hay. Rather than going to high fat items, such as oils, or certain feeds, with added fats, try using good nutrition, instead. Fat equates to fake nutrition, since it adds weight, without any real nutritional value. (A horse’s daily requirement of fat, is less than 5%.)

There is a simple formula, for calculating how much to feed a horse, and it will work if you want one to gain weight, lose weight, or maintain it’s weight, and it’s based on feeding to a “goal body weight”, or the weight you want the horse to weigh.

Based on a horse’s workload, and it’s general ability to maintain weight, a horse should be fed between 1 1/2% and 2 1/2% of it’s goal body weight, in feedstuffs. (grass, hay, and grain/concentrates) It’s best to start with 2% of it’s goal weight, and you can re-evaluate the effectiveness, after 21 days, and make adjustments, if needed.

If you don’t have access to a livestock scale, use a weight tape, they are accurate, within 10 to 15 pounds, and keep a record of the horse’s weight, for reference.

Example: thin horse, who currently weighs 850 pounds, who should weigh 1000 pounds. This horse will be fed a total of 2%, or 20 pounds of feedstuffs, every 24 hours, for the first 21 days. If you feel a need to use grain, feed a minimal amount, of 2 pounds, 2 times per day, of the best quality feed. I prefer pelleted feed, it digests better than whole grains. Feed 8 pounds, of clean, high quality hay, 2 times per day.

At the 21 day mark, evaluate how the horse is doing, and make any adjustments, up or down, as needed. Slow gain, is healthy gain, and avoids health problems, such as founder and colic.
