Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Lizzie asks…

How can I lose weight by summer vacation?

I seriously need to lose about 10-20 pounds before the end of May. I am around the age of 13 and I’m not just losing weight to look skinnier, I am trying to lose weight and get more exercise so that I can do more activities in the summer without getting exhausted very easily. What are some exercises I can do to lose weight around my arms, waist, and legs. And also some healthy food suggestions.
Please help.
Thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Concentrate on losing/burning fat. When you lose fat you will achieve the toned look, look slimmer, leaner and overall better. You can try P90X , but P90X costs $125 and it takes 90 days for results. A better choice and even a faster and free program is the specialized fat burning program called the Fat X 12 fat burning workout and diet program. It’s a 12 day workout and diet plan you can cycle as many times a you want. The workout videos and diet are free on the Fat X 101 blog. It’s an awesome program to burn fat and tone up! Good luck!

Linda asks…

What do you find the hardest, eating less or exercising more?

I’ve seen so many questions like “how can I lose weight without exercising?” etc but to me not eating chocolate and stuff is definitely the hardest part.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Eating healthier takes awhile to get used it. All those unhealthy eating habits need to be replaced with healthier habits. It requires making the same healthy choice again & again & again & again …, until it becomes a normal part of your routine.

But craving chocolate is not a big issue for me. Since on any decent healthy eating plan there is no such thing as a forbidden food, I indulge in chocolate occasionally. I make sure it’s in an healthy portion size, usually in the form of 1 chocolate truffle.

Exercising more is not that hard.
I make sure to do physical activities which I don’t find boring, which I can easily fit into my routine & which challenge me both mentally and physically

Jenny asks…

Am I losing weight if I am sweating without exercising?

Since people lose weight when they sweat while exercising, are people able to lose weight if they sweat without exercising?

During summer, it may be hot, and people may sweat from the sunlight by being still under the sun. Are they losing weight under this circumstance?

weight loss cardiff answers:

No, because the human body is made up of 75-80ish % water, and its really easy for humans to dehydrate or lose water. During a hot season or temperature, people dehydrates easily, but also loses weight faster depending on how intense the workout or is exercise activity due to heavy amount of sweat lost.

Ken asks…

How many yogurt should I consume for weight loss?

I heard that by consuming yogurt will promote weight loss, and I want to know how much fat-free yogurt I must consume in order to lose weight. What does three servings stands for?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Technically speaking, losing weight is simple — just cut your daily intake of calories and exercise more. When your organism finds it cannot extract the necessary energy from the food you consume, it will start burning the fat deposits in waist and other parts of your body. So, the most natural way to lose weight is to keep to a diet, which reduces the energy your consume and do regular exercises to burn energy.

While this approach to weight loss is most natural and healthy, it is not easy. No wonder that a lot of so-called weight loss pills were developed, which make it easier to lose weight. One of the most popular categories of these pills are fat blockers and fat binders. They work by reducing the amount of fat that your organism assimilates from foods. Fat blockers (the most well-known example is Orlistat, marketed as Xenical) in particular inhibit the lipase enzyme in the intestines which breaks up fat making it ready for digestion. As a result, the fat cannot be absorbed by the organism so it passes freely through the bowel. Fat binders work by binding to the fat molecules, again making it unabsorbable by intestines. Fat blockers and binders have very nasty side effects (among them are uncontrollable foul-smelling anal discharges.) Naturally you cannot expect that removal of fats from your diet in such a way will be healthy.

Another category of weight loss supplements includes appetite suppressants. They reduce your appetite by making the organism think it is already full. One of the most popular herbal appetite suppressants is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a cactus-like plant which grows in South Africa. Its appetite suppressing capabilities were well-known by Bushman who used it during their long hunting trips. Since Hoodia Gordonii is a purely natural treatment, it doesn’t have any side-effects associated with synthethic prescription appetite suppressing drugs such as Phentermine.

What is a free website to create a weight loss challenge for a group of people?

My sorority wants to do a weight loss challenge based on percentage on a free website. We like weightlosswars.com’s competitions, but they charge per person to do the challenge and a lot of our girls can’t do that. We need a free option that’s easy to use and easy to track. Thanks!

Carol asks…

What would you recommend as a weight loss supplement?

I am in my early twenties and I am looking for a little bit of help in weight loss. I am looking for a good supplement to buy. I do not want something that just curbs my appetite, I would like a little help with that but also something that can help speed up my metabolism. Any ideas? Something that has personally worked for you or someone you know.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you’ve got a basic multivitamin in your medicine cabinet you already have the only weight loss supplement you need. Be advised that no “dietary supplement” including multivitamins are approved or proven to the FDA. That is why they must be labeled as supplements and not proven drugs.
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup. Oatmeal with berries or a bit of fresh honey is also good.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
You have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the natural toxins.
Last, you need to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep depending on your age. All recent sleep studies report a connection between poor sleep patterns and weight gain. This includes going to bed as close to the same time every night including weekends. Most of us stay up late Friday and Saturday night and it throws us off.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.

I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym and have kept it off for over two years. Less than 3% of people that attempt weight loss lose it and keep it off for two years. It is not easy. It is a lifestyle change. You need to change your perception of food and dieting from “denial” to “what is right to eat”.
Good luck and good health.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Michael asks…

How would you extract organics from a cloth sample?

Would I put it any particular solvent, such as diethyl ether and repeat this 2 or 3 times. How would I get the final extract and how will identify compounds? NMR?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The first question to ask is the polarity of the organics. If they are non-polar (like oils), then non polar solvents (like hexane) should be used for the extraction. A sohxlet extractor does a good job with small amounts of material. Just evaporate the hexane after refluxing an hour or so. Polar substances can be dissolved in water but ethanol or ethyl ether can be used if the solvent needs to be evaporated quickly. A rotary evaporator does a good job with alcohols, ethers or ketones. Detection is easiest using HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography). The chromatographic column needs to match the polarity of the solvent passing through it. C18 is a good polar material for use with water or alcohols. Silica columns are used with non-polar solvents such as hexane. GC (gas chromatography) is another option. The column is not quite as important as the detector. Electron capture detectors (ECD’s) are radioactive devices very sensitive to substances containing Oxygen or halogens. ECD’s are used in pesticide analysis. FPD (flame photometric detectors) are general purpose detectors and can be used with almost anything. Hall detectors are extremely sensitive to halogen containing compounds. Finally, there is Mass Spectroscopy. This works in conjunction with a chromatographic column, which separates compounds. The Mass Spectrometer then breaks molecules up into ions, and the weight percentages are very characteristic of individual compounds.

Richard asks…

How is chlorophyll (the color green) derived and is that molecular compound used in making of green products?

Chlorophyll is said to be the Molecular Formula C35,H28,O5,N4,Mg. Two solvents diethyl ether and acetone are used to extract Chlorophyll from a plant. Do they just drop a green leaf into a bucket of acetone and the color green comes out?

weight loss cardiff answers:

We would have to walk into a factory that makes these colors. Nothing is being said.

Sandy asks…

Organic substance extractions from aqueous solutions.. why do certain ethers work as solvents and others don’t?

How can diethyl ether be successful in extracting organic substances from aqueous solutions but not dimethyl ether or dioxane?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diethyl ether . . . .
A.
Is almost nonpolar – – – > suitable for extraction of organic substances which are less polar than water
B.
Has limited solubility in water – – – > when mixed with water , separated aqueous – organic layers will be formed and enable extraction
C.
Has a low boiling point – – – > after extraction and separation of aqueous – organic layers , it can be easily evaporated / distilled out

Dimethyl ether . . . .
Is a gas at room temperature ( Boiling Point – 23.6 Celsius ) – – – > can not be utilized for extraction at room temperature

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_ether

1,4-Dioxane . . . .
Is miscible with water – – – > Usage for extractions from aqueous solutions are not possible

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,4-Dioxane
