How do you lose weight without exercising?

I want to lose weight without exercising, i heard about eating a lemon a day keeps the fat away but i don’t know if that’s true, but i still want other ones as well please help! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

You could loose weight without exercise but its not really healthy. Too loose weight you need to burn more calories than you consume in a day. And it might be unhealthy to do this without exercise (because that means your not eating much, unless you have a very high metabolism). You could eat very healthy and loose weight but honestly you should start to workout/exercise a bit. Its good for you and your body and has more benefits than just weight loss alone. Even if its small things, just start working out & exercising. Even playing sports etc. Will do.

David asks…

How to lose weight without exercise or dieting?

I am 135 lbs and I’m a 14 year old girl however I know very skinny girls that weight 110 – 100 lbs. can I lose weight without exercising or dieting but I already play soccer for two hours a day 2-5 times a week. Please help me I’m desperate and will do almost anything!

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to lose weight, you must do it the healthy way, the only way to go is to eat healthy and do some sort of exercise. I’m the same age as you and I weigh about 112 at the moment. My trick is I made a list of a bunch of junk foods that I enjoy and eat often and each month I choose one to not eat for the rest of the year. I’m not sure if that made sense but yeah. It’s challenging but it works. The main one is pop and I noticed a very big difference once I stopped drinking it.

You also NEED to exercise, at least a bit. If you aren’t big on going to the gym or going for intense runs, just go for a walk at a fast pace for an hour and do this every day. When you get home do some crunches and stretches.

I hope I helped in some sort of way ! Message me if you need any help 🙂

Joseph asks…

What is the best way to judge a weight loss competition?

I am starting a weight loss competition between friends and need to know the best way to decide the winner since all of us have a different amount of weight we wish to lose.

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are different ways you can judge this competition.
For instance, you can all give an amount of weight you need to lose (your goal weight) it could be 10lbs, 20LBS, 30lbs, in a certain period of time.
Whoever loses the more % of weight and is able to reach the desired goal (or pass it) is the winner.

Another way is, since all of you guys are going for weight loss, you can check the body fat % lost and decide the winner according to who lost the most body fat %.

You can also have 2 prices according to the two guidelines stated above.

Happy competition!
Have fun!

Susan asks…

How do malignant melanomas cause weight loss in cancer patients?

I read that one of the first signs of cancer is unexplained weight loss. However, I don’t understand how this would happen in something like skin cancer – what has a cancerous mole got to do with your weight and digestive system? Medical explanation, please!

weight loss cardiff answers:

This must be at the late stage of melanoma. Weight loss is not an early symptom/sign of this cancer.

Weight loss can be caused by eating fewer calories, using more calories, or both.

Melanoma at late stage can make chemicals that change the way the body uses certain nutrients, like protein, carbohydrates, and fat. A patient may seem to be eating enough, but the body may not be able to absorb all the nutrients from the food. Tumor selectively use more glucose, so the normal metabolism of the body is no longer there.

For many patients, the effects of cancer and cancer treatments make it hard to eat well. Anorexia and cachexia are common causes of malnutrition in cancer patients.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Change your eating habits, no soda, no processed foods. Control your portion sizes. You can try apple cider vinegar. Search for it online. You can do exercise videos, join a team, go to the ymca, do dance, martial arts, swimming, there are lots of activities you can do! You will want to do more than 45 mins. It also depends on the kind of exercise you are doing in those 45 mins.

Donna asks…

how can you lose weight easily and fast??? like 20lbs -30lbs in a month???

weight loss cardiff answers:

The rule of thumb is that that any weight loss rate faster than 2 lbs or a kilo a week is too fast and you will regain all your lost weight.

Slow and steady is the way to go if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You need patience.

8 lbs a month is the way to do it or 4 kilos a month.

More fruit and vegetables and smaller servings of red meat, poultry, potatoes and chips might help.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Daniel asks…

how long do i hzve to starve myself before i see real weight loss?

and any tips for self control?
i just look at the fat food and go for my life, i need to learn to keep away.
and i dont want any lectures, i just want to know how long i have to starve myself to see at leat 5kgs weight loss.

weight loss cardiff answers:

LOL.. Starving yourself is not the way to go because your body will do everything to get it back once you start eating again. Here are some tips that might help ya:)

Oh. My. Goodness! I have such mixed feelings today about returning to my daily schedule. On one hand, I am so sad to have an actual alarm clock wake me rather than my kids as they climb into bed to cuddle. I’m sad I will no longer NOT have a schedule, and be able to play all day, and stay up watching movies every. Single. Night!! I quietly whimper at the realization that the holidays are over…the tree is down, all of the snowmen are boxed back up…and reality sets in that…I can no longer “cheat”. But, is it realy “cheating” when you do it 2 weeks straight??

Yet, still…somewhere amist all of this depression, I find comfort, excitement even, knowing that…I will be back on a schedule. Isn’t that odd? I actually am excited…recharged and revamped…remotivated to get back on track and pick up where I left off. Ready, even if a few days late, to start my New Year’s Resolution…to lose weight.

Yes, it’s been my resolution (or one of them) for may precending years, but for some reason I cannot explain, this year feels different. A new decade, a new start, a new ME.

This new found inspiration has me wondering…is there a formula to follow to ensure success with your New Year’s Resolution, despite what they may be? Is there some sort of secret that forces us to maintain this momentum for months ahead?

Unfortunatly, as with all other things, there will be no reward if you don’t do the work, and weight loss is (in my humble opinion) both the most trying and rewarding goal. Though there are no “sure fire” secrets or formulas, there are many helpful tips to keep in mind. When you keep them posted where you can see them daily, your chance of success is increased!

** Tip #1 – Get an Attitude Adjustment
Attitude is everything when it comes to losing weight. Permanent weight loss is achieved through permanent diet and lifestyle changes. Reverting back to old eating habits after losing weight will only allow the pounds to return. Remember that there are no quick fixes. It took a while to put the weight on and it will take a while to take it off again. Accept that fact and develop a can-do attitude. Commit to the long term. You will be wearing this body for the rest of your life.

** Tip #2 – Set Realistic Goals
Weight loss goals must be realistic. Unattainable goals do nothing more than set the stage for failure. When creating goals, assess all factors such as current weight, fitness level, age, gender and interests. Take all these things into consideration and come up with a workable plan. Start as small as necessary, but do start!

** Tip #3 – Control the Environment
Make dieting as easy as possible. At home, do not bring temptation through the door. Enlist the aid of family members and ask them to keep junk food out of sight and out of mind. My family & I purged the cupboards and refrigerator of high calorie foods on New Year’s day, and filled them with healthy alternatives when we went grocery shopping. When away from home, pack a healthy lunch and snacks rather than eating out and avoid passing by the snack machine at work, if possible.

** Tip #4 – Make Simple Substitutions
There are a variety of simple substitutions that cut calories significantly. For instance, switch to fat free milk or use plain yogurt in the place of sour cream. Substitute unsweetened applesauce for oil in baked goods and reduce the sugar in recipes by up to half. Look for other creative ways to reduce the calorie and fat content whenever possible. While these changes may take some getting used to, they will soon become the norm.

** Tip #5 – Shop Smart
To reduce temptation while shopping, stick to the perimeter of the grocery store. Most foods needed for a healthy diet will be found around the edges. Especially avoid the snack and candy aisle. Do not pass the ice cream case. Carefully read the label on any packaged or canned food under consideration. Also, never shop when hungry!

** Tip #6 – Control Portions
Invest in a food scale and a comprehensive food guide. Learn what a portion actually looks like. Keep in mind that measuring and weighing food will not be necessary long-term. After a short time, an accurate estimate of portion size will be automatic. It is wise to re-check portion sizes periodically, however, to ensure estimates remain accurate. Use smaller plates, cups and even utensils to make portion control easier. Also, repackage bulk snack foods into the correct portions as soon as they enter the home.

** Tip #7 – Take a Walk
Exercise is essential to long term weight loss success. Walking is ideal as it can be done almost anywhere and the intensity level is easily adjusted. Invest in a good pair of walking shoes and consider buying a pedometer. Commit to walking a little each day. Build some extra steps into the daily ro

Ken asks…

How do I start and continue a raw food diet.?

Does anyone have recipes, guidance etc? How soon will I feel the benefits? Should I expect side effects? Can I expect weight loss, and if so how much how quickly? Just need some facts about it so as to know what to expect. I have a lot of inflammatory problems such as psoriasis and aching joints and I’ve been told by someone it might help.
Thank you!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The general consensus/claim is that a raw vegan diet will help clear up a number of ailments.
How to start? Many people suggest starting out bit by bit, say, one raw meal a day, but if you have an aggravating or serious condition, such as what you mention, or cancer, for example, you might want to just jump right in 100%. I think that is the easiest way, ultimately, just as quitting cigarettes by not smoking them at all anymore is the best way to quit smoking

Go through your kitchen and remove anything that is not a fresh vegetable or fruit, or raw nut or seed.

Get a good beginner’s book, like The Raw Food Revolution Diet, which will explain to you all the basics, including where your vitamins and protein are coming from and how much you need to eat of them.

You can also check out the files at the RawFood yahoogroup
( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rawfood ) You will have to sign up for the list, but you can sign up for “reading on the web” (which I recommend – there isn’t much going on on that listanymore, sadly), and then you can browse through the files section, which I created from the 5 years of list postings when the list was active, and which have a wealth of information for beginners, as well as a lot of good recipes.

For recipes, and informational articles, you can go to http://www.living-foods.com/ which is one of the best single sites for *everything* raw

Another good place to go, and sign up, is the Raw Food Right Now blog ( http://rawfoodrightnow.blogspot.com/ )That is a good place to sign up to, and read their back posts, as well as follow whatever they post now… They also have a comprehensive list of existing raw food blogs. You start there, and end up with all the information you will ever need, as well as some new favorite spots to visit. You’re computer savvy – subscribe to the spots you really like, so you can read them easily when they are updated

Another thing you can do is sign up for a raw food training.
I have the best ones I could find listed on my blog: http://prettysmarrawfoods.com The direct link to trainings is
http://tinyurl.com/85d7wy

This should be enough to get you started. If you play around there enough, you are likely to stumble upon something that directly addresses your issues.

Best way to lose weight and get in shape?

Alright So I’m 23 and I’ve lost a good amount of weight before going from 240 to 150. However in the course of my 5 year relationship I’ve gained allot back. What are some tips and tricks to get back down to a good weight. Recipes Anything would be helpful. I know all in all walking is the best exorcise however what could I do to go along with that to help increase weight loss?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi, here are a few different pointers to help with all aspects of weight loss. One thing you need to stay motivated and feeling healthy is energy so try making easy smoothies at home that are great for energy boosters:
STRAWBERRY BANANA FRUIT SMOOTHIE:
*4 oz orange juice
*4 oz water, ice or mix
*1 medium banana
*6 medium strawberries
*1 tbsp flaxseed oil
*2 tbsp protein powder (whey)
Protein smoothies are a great way to get power-packed nutrition with relatively few calories. By adding flaxseed oil you are slowing the absorption of sugars. You can use different types of liquid jucies and fruits according you your taste preferences.
3 websites where you can purchase whey:

http://www.EnergyFirst.com/Whey
http://www.WholesaleSupplementStore.com
http://SupplementWarehouse.com/SaveNow!

Low-fat cottage cheese is a great mid day snack because it contains whey also it’s got 28 grams of protein and only 6 grams of carbs. Cottage cheese is also rich in slow-digesting casein, which will provide you with a slow drip of aminos until your next meal. (Keep you full longer so you’re not snacking all day)

Chick is a great and healthy dinner Idea and there is a lot of different ways that you can prepare it. Baking instead of frying is always best, avoid saturated fats and eat a veg. Along with your meal. Steaming veg. Helps to keep all the nutrients that you need.

Hope this helps you to start eating healthier.
And dancing is a great way to loose weight and build muscle.
Good Luck!
