weight loss cardiff answers:

Its not as big of a deal as how many calories that you are eating as it is where they come from just try to eat more vegetables, fruit, but don’t cut down on calories too much because that’s not healthy the best way to stay in shape is to work out. Crunches, jump rope, and running are three very good ways to loose weight

I exercise everyday.

I dance, swim, play basketball, run, skateboard and figure skate. And I work out.

weight loss cardiff answers:

All you really can do is eat right and exercise daily. Avoid taking diet pills because even if it’s labeled “all natural” they’re not always safe. And on top of that, weight loss per week should be 1 or 2 pounds.

Charles asks…

what is the best diet to lose weight fast?

i need to lose weight fast like maybe 30-40 pounds a month any suggestions?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to lose 40 pounds a month, the only diet that’ll help is the Chainsaw diet. It’s simple: Buy a chainsaw, and every month cut off a limb. You’ll be 30-40 pounds lighter in no time!

You absolutely cannot lose weight faster than around 10 pounds a month. More than that is not only unhealthy, but you’ll gain all of it back (and more) within a couple months.

Lose 10 pounds a month by eating less and moving more. It’s really not hard.

How to kick start weight loss again?

I’ve been on a weight loss diet for five weeks now, 1200 calories per day (which is what myfitnesspal recommends for my goal / lifestyle etc). I’ve lost 14lbs so far, but now my weight loss seems to have stalled this week. Any tips to help kick start it again, and to keep motivation up? I’m an at home mum with a 3yr old and a 12yr old, so going to a gym is not really an option.
Guardian – I realise I won’t keep up the high weight loss I had initially (I lost 9lbs in the first 2 weeks) and I am genuinely aiming only for 1 or 2 lbs per week. I am not a new comer to weight loss, and I understand what is healthy and what is not. It is just when I lose nothing at all despite having stuck rigidly to my plan, that I feel a little disheartened. As long as I’m losing something every week I am happy and find it easy to stay motivated.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your body may have adapted to your lower calorie intake and as a result your weight loss has stalled.

A way around this is to either diet more aggressively, by removing and lowering the amount of carbohydrates into your diet but this can be difficult as your body will need to adapt to ketosis.

Alternatively you could also attempt to eat at your maintaince calories again for 1-2 weeks to help restore your metabolism but this won’t cause you to loose weight. Your maintaince calories is body weight x 15, so if you’re 150lbs, that’s 2250 calories daily assuming you are moderatly active and not sitting around all day. Eat at that for 1-2 weeks, you may gain 1-2 lbs, but it should come off quickly once you continue your dieting. Do not use this time as an excuse to eat crap, stick to a healthy diet and try to make most of your calories come from protein as they’re more difficult to digest and therefore keep you fuller and burn off 25-30% of their calofic value during digestion.

Alteratively you could continue your weight loss plan of 1200 calories weekly, and just accept that you’ve stalled. Your weight will continue to gradually decrease. Remember it becomes harder to loose weight as you get leaner, because your previouse weight would have requires a higher maintaince. If you loose 15lbs, your basic metabolic rate drops by 225 calories (15×15) so your weight loss slows by about half a lb a week, because a defict of 500 results in 1lb a week weight loss – but now your defict is smaller because you weight less.

Genuinely I’d say you’re doing very well. Stick to 1200 calories a day and just accept that you’re not going to loose weight as quickly. You may have been loosing 2lbs a week on 1200 calories when you started, now you’ve lost 15lbs (give or take) you’re only going to loose 1.5lbs a week on the same diet. This may not even be noticable on the scales daily. Your weight fluctuares by as much as 5lbs daily due to water retentionhydration, food intake, glycogen storage, and bowel movementsdigestive contents.

For the most accurate reading, you should only weigh yourself once a week, in the same conditions, wearing the same (lack of) clothing

Ken asks…

What weight loss pills have you used and which do you recommend, if any?

I am a middle aged female and am looking to lose those stubborn extra pounds in my tummy area.

I have used some weight loss pills int he past with some success. I am looking to try one of these products on the market today but there are so many! Help me out with your experiences, if possible. Not looking for opinions, just facts. Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

** You should try drinking 8 to 16 ounces of water before each meal, this will fill you up and you will eat less, resulting in less calories at every meal. Weight loss pills are not very safe, at least water is safe. I know it may be hard at first to drink water, but you can add more and more everyday until it becomes easier, ( you will get used to it. I lost 50 pounds in three years and kept them off , I also walk for 20 minutes at least 5 times a week. Patience is needed,, if you want quick, this is not it, better to lose slowly than too fast (not healthy for your body) Well good luck too you, hope this helps.

P.S. I also think that the younger you are the faster you will lose weight, 50 years and up will take longer

Mark asks…

What weight loss products would you recommend?

Hi, so I know I need to eat healthy and exercise which is the right way to do it, but I want to know what are the best products out there for weight loss.

I have heard of shakes like slim fast and also tablets like la slinky/curvy, but I would like to know what actually works and how much of an effect these products can have.

Thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best method of losing weight is by juicing. You drink freshly made fruit and vegetable juices and eat a couple of small portion low calorie meals per day. It is the only thing that worked for me. I am 33lbs lighter than I was 5 months ago as a result. I now help others to achieve their weight loss goals. Visit my site for more information on www.hitthenailontheheaddiet.com

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Robert asks…

how can i lose Weight fast without taking pills?

i need to know how to lose weight fast without taking pills i need to know what foods to eat and when. i also need to know when to exercise and how to exercise.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight very fast allows you to gain weight very fast afterwards if you dont do it the healthy way. Its a good thing youre not willing to take diet pills since they can have permenant effect on your heart, muscles and sometimes even sex cells.

Start, by setting an achievable goal for your weight loss. This way, once you loose the amount of weight you wanted to, you have something to feel happy about and this can be a good motivation. After that, Set another goal. My point is, Dont aim to loose a hundred pounds all at once.

Remember dont starve yourself. Monitor your calorie intake. Eat. But decrease the amount you eat.
Also, Know your metabolism (The amount of calories you burn). If you know its going to be a heavy day and you are going to run around and work hard, then eat more. But if your having a day off and youre planning to stay home and not do much, then eat less.

Never miss any meal. Especially breakfeast. People who dont eat breakfeast end up being so much hungrier for lunch and overeat. Thus, eat breakfeast, lunch and dinner but never snack in between. Its a terrible habbit which will make you obese.

Before you start your diet, get a notebook and write every single thing you eat in one regular day and write the amount of calories they contain. Dont forget the small things like a spoonful of sugar etc. Anyways, this allows you to easily see your extra intake. Go over the list and decide which foods to cut out or reduce.

Cutting calories is usually a lot easier than you might think. For example, that daily tall latte in the morning may pack 500 calories. Since a pound of flab (lost or gained) is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories, replacing that rich beverage with black coffee can help you lose a pound a week. Other easy cuts include salad dressing, soda pop, candy, and butter.
Look for healthy, delicious meals online or in your cookbooks, and create a menu for the week. Make sure that your meal plan reduces your total calorie intake.

Drink plenty of water. Adequate water is essential for health, and a great many people simply don’t get enough. What’s more, if you’re chronically dehydrated, your body will retain water in unflattering places, so if you make sure to get plenty of fluids you can start visibly trimming down in as little as a day. Remember, the more you exercise, the more water you’ll need. Drink one glass of water before your meal; it will help digestion and also to get the sensation of fullness in your stomach that will keep you from overeating; that in combination with eating slowly, will allow you to stop eating when you are satisfied, not when you already ate too much (If you eat too fast you can get full, even bloated but still be hungry) .

Exercise :
Perform low impact aerobic activities. Moderate aerobic workouts incorporating brisk walking, cycling, aerobic machines, or swimming not only burn calories they also keep your heart healthy. Swimming is great, especially if you are quite overweight or have joint problems, because you can get the same benefits of running typically burning even more calories with much less stress on your joints. Try to get at least 30-40 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three or four days per week.

Try to get iron tablets from the pharmacy and have one once day with a full stomach. It increases blood flow and metabolism. You’ll be needing that since youre going to be working hard.

Rest properly. This means not only taking at least 24-48 hours between strength training the same muscles, and taking 1-2 days off from exercising each week; it also means knowing how much sleep you need, since sleep deficiency impairs your ability to lose fat.

Anyways dont expect anything to happen overnight. Have motivation and confidence and you’ll be fine! Good luck 😀

James asks…

how to give yourself the motivation to lose weight?

I am overweight and i want to lose some kilos. But i do not have the motivation as i have the tendency to do exercise halfway and not continuing.Another thing, i watched alot of young girls in the media look really skinny and also sickly.This adds me the fear of losing my weight as i already see on how skinny young girls nowadays.I want to lose weight without the fear of looking so sickly like those girls in the media.Pls i need help really badly.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Sometimes keeping a food diary can help. Sometimes we don’t remember how much we have snacked on during the day. The food diary can help you see if you are snacking excessively or help you see a bad habit.

If snacking is your problem you can look into a couple of options. You can cut down on your snacking or plan for healthier snacks. Don’t drastically change your diet unless you know that you can stick with it. Otherwise you just gain all of the weight back because you go back to old habits. Just change a little at a time. Try having two “healthy meals” a week. Something as simple as having grilled food, instead of something fried.

Also, to lose weight you really need to do some type of exercise. Find something that you enjoy doing. You will be more likely to stick with it. Maybe walking, swimming, yoga, dance, aerobics. Just whatever you find interesting. If you bore easily you may want to try doing more than one thing. For instance, walking with friends on Monday and Wednesday, yoga on Tuesday and Thursday. The next week try dance on Mon. And wed. And aerobics or Tues. And Thurs.. You just have to find what works for you. The most important thing is to keep it fun and interesting. Take time and try some new things!

I hope these suggestions were helpful. Good luck and just keep the faith in yourself. You can do it. You just have to decide that you are ready to.

Ruth asks…

Best exercise to lose weight off of your arms?

Does anyone know of some really good exercises that i can do to lose weight off of my arms without having to go to the gym everyday. Something i can do at home? Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

OK..you cannot spot reduce…that means lose weight on one area of the body. You gain weight in a certain sequence and lose it in a certain sequence….but you can tone an area easily enough. Arms are easy…push-ups…just that easy. The closer the hands the more it works the triceps. …this will help you tone, but reasonable diet and exercise will help you lose the excess weight.
