Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Maria asks…

how long and how often do you have to exercise to lose weight quickly?

I have been doing turbo jam every day except saturdays, since August 1 2006. I do 45 minutes of cardio everyday and add strength training 3 days a week at night. I also eat under 1200 calories a day and drink plenty of water including Crystal Light. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I look smaller in the chest area but then other times i look the same size. I just wanted to know if there are other people out there who have lost weight doing what I have been doing and how fast did they lose weight and also what are the first fat areas to disappear?

weight loss cardiff answers:

1. Doing cardio in the morning will burn 300% more fat than any other time during the day.
2. Not doing cardio at your heart rate will either burn sugar or not burn anything. Target heart rate depends on age mostly, and your doc can tell you what your target heartrate is. If anything you can get an idea of what your target heart rate by using this formula:
Fat Burning Zone = (220-Your Age) x (0.75)
That will give you a rought number, and if you keep within 8-10 points of it, you’re good.
3. Doing more than 40 min of cardio is over kill really.
4. Doing cardio any other time than morning before breakfast wastes 20 min of that cardio. It takes your body 20 min to start burning fats, so if you can’t do it in the morning, do it at least 2-3 hours after meals, and do some light weight training before that for 15 or so min or more if you want.
5. Having more muscle burns more fat. I’m not talking about bulging out, just a little tone, and a little muscle everywhere to look toned after you get all the weight you want off. 🙂
6. Your body needs a certain amount of calories, protein, carbs and even fats each day, so don’t cut that out completely.
7. Drink .6 ounces of water for each pound of your body weight. So Body Weight x .6 = how much water you should drink a day.
That’s the best way to do it, it will take a few weeks but you’ll start burning it off pretty fast and put one some muscle to have a very nice toned and slim body 🙂

Hope that helped!

Donald asks…

What is the best way to lose weight in 2 weeks?

Ive been going to the gym about 3 days a week and i want to lose weight for Flordia. I’ve been have cravings though. What are some good foods to eat that will help me lose weight but help those cravings? Please help =) thank you

much love <33

weight loss cardiff answers:

Usually if you eat some type of lean protein at every meal, it will help you stay fuller longer. That helps with cravings as well as eating 5-6 small meals a day. Other than that, just try to limit yourself. If you totally deny yourself for a long length of time, you have a tendency to really overindulge when you eat the “forbidden” food again.

Ken asks…

How many calories a day should I eat to lose weight? Currently 153 lbs 5′ 6″ female?

I would like to lose 15 lbs in 3 weeks or a little longer if necessary.
How many calories do I need daily and how often/long should I work out?

I was thinking of doing the 5 meals a day 1600 calorie per day weekly plan.
What is a healthy # of calories per day to lose weight?

So far I work out only 3 days a week about 45 minutes and eat whatever/whenever I feel like it.

weight loss cardiff answers:

That’s a good amount of calories just make sure you drink alot of water about 76 ounces a day for your weight

Betty asks…

A good weight loss program for teenage girls?

I keep looking for a good weight loss program for teenage girls, like myself, but they all cost money. Could someone help me find a good free weight loss program? Thanks!! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Stick to mainly jogging like in the morning and evening.
Try to eat (light food) twice a day or don’t eat till like after 12 noon or more everyday (as you see fit).
Do stuff that would really stress your mind…say like solving complex math or play strategy games.

William asks…

What is the most effective affordable weight loss program?

I was interested in curves, but it seems to be kind of expensive…and I’m not ready to invest into somthing that I’m not positive is worth it. I need suggestions of weight loss programs and such that arent as pricey…but are effective:) Any ideas are welcome:) THNX:)

weight loss cardiff answers:

This is not specifically for weight loss, but it is for absolute health. And if you are over weight, it’s not healthy, and you WILL lose weight by “FASTING”. It is the most (bar none) heathiest thing anyone can do for themselves. Not only will you lose weight, you will be, and feel heathier than you ever have in the past. Read up on it as much as you can, but a few tips you must do are:
Drink pure fluid, double strain all fresh juice (NO pulp)
Drink plenty of distilled water
Make a vegetable broth (double strain it) and drink everyday
NO solid food at all
You must do an enema everyday to get rid of toxins
Scrub dead skin aff your body daily

Do this for a week. You will be hungry for 2 days, but when your body realizes you aint giving it any food, it will begin to eat the fat stored in your body. First it will eat any cysts if you have them, then it will eat other fat, including the fat around your gut. You will be most importantly healthier, and of course leaner.

Read up on Fasting as much as you can first, as it is important that you do it right. The enema sucks, but it is very important.

Mark asks…

My Dr banned my exercising due to injuries from a wreck. What can I do to still lose weight?

I already diet, and I’ve lost about 6 pounds, but I know without exercising my weight loss will be hindered. The injuries are in my knee, neck and tailbone.

weight loss cardiff answers:

That’s really hard to say since those injuries occur across the full scope of your body. To continue losing weight, an even more significant diet change is recommended. Of course, this can easily become unhealthy, so proceeed with caution. Depending on your knee injury, I would suggest walking for an hour or so a day. There are plenty of benefits with that, including weightloss. Yoga is another more alternative source for weight loss. It helps the body function better as a whole and with more, shall I say, coherence and efficiency and aids in the loss of weight. Water aerobics is a good idea, since it greatly reduces your weight and the amount of stress and tension put on joints. Other than that, I can’t think of much other advice other than to simply maintain your current weight and wait until your body heals to continue your normal routine.

Sandra asks…

Is there an effective way to train to reduce your Maximum Heart Rate?

I exercise 5 times a week doing 50 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. Lately I’ve been using a heart monitor and have been surprised to find that I can easily push 180 bpm without feeling overly tired or out of breath (I can carry a conversation). I’m 36 years old so that means that my MHR should be 184 but that’s only if I’m traning anaerobically (which I don’t want to) So for the past week I’ve reduce the speed (which has come to walking on the treadmill instead of jogging) in order to land in the 150-160 range. My question is, if I’m trying to lose weight, should I continue on this range? (even if I get bored to death walking) Is there a good way to train to reduce your MHR?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Max heart rate calculations using age (the 220 minus age or whatever) are for normal, sedentary people and can be off 10 or 15 beats or more per minute.
For athletes to discover max hr, you need to push and find your max heartrate.

Go to a track, do a couple mile warmup. Then, get ready to do 1/2 mile repeats. Wearing your HR monitor strap, sprint your first 1/2 mile. Record your max HR. Run a 1/4, then do a second 1/2mile sprint. Record your max HR. Run a 1/4, then do a third 1/2mile sprint and record the max HR.
The sprints should be absolutely all out…totally all out.
The second or third sprint should get you at your max HR.

Use THAT as your max. If you are conversational at 180, then by definition you are not at max HR.
If you are converstional at 180, I am guessing your max to be 195.
Is it unusual? Yes. Unheard of?? Absolutely not. Many triathletes i work out with are well away from the “norms”.

Yes, for best weight loss, you’ll want to be in your high zone 2 or low zone 3 for almost an hour…but you are going to need to adjust your zones before starting up that program.

Here is the coaching stuff I follow…and it has been very successful for me:

http://www.ultrafit.com/

***oh, and to answer your first question: reducing max HR?
Yes, eat lots of fat and become sedentary.

You do NOT want to reduce your max HR! You DO want to find YOUR max HR and then start using that new info to craft a good aerobic workout for yourself.

Maria asks…

Should I be worried if I have lost 20 pounds in 3 weeks without trying?

I have not been trying to diet and cannot exercise because of a back injury so I was wanting to know if I should go to my doctor to find out if something is going on. I have never been able to lose weight easily and am in fact very overweight. I have not been sick and have been eating the same as I always do, including snacking. That is why I am concerned that something might be wrong.

weight loss cardiff answers:

This all really depends on your calorie intake and what kind of foods you have been eating. If the foods you are eating are healthy, weight loss is normal. If these foods are fatty, and covered in grease, you might want to see your doctor for help.

weight loss cardiff answers:

To lose weight decently, follow this simple diet routine, proved to be more effective:

General Motors Weight Loss Diet, a.k.a. The GM Diet* – An e-mail received from Shri M Siddique (who recd from Ravindra Jaju)
Have you heard of the Physics Diet? As common sense goes, prevention is always better than cure!
The following diet and health program was apparently developed for the employees and the dependants of General Motors Inc.
The program was developed in conjunction with the grant from the US Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was first tried at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors of General Motors Corporation at a general meeting on August 15, 1995 .
General Motors Corporation wholly endorsed this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food service facilities.
It is the management’s intention to facilitate a welfare and fitness program for everyone.
This program is designed for a target weight loss of 5-6 Kgs. Per week. It will also improve your attitude and emotions because of its systematic cleansing effects. The effectiveness of this seven day plan is that the foods eaten burn more calories than they give to the body in caloric value. This plan can be used as often as you like to without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter by atleast 10 pounds. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.
During the first seven days you must drink 10 glasses of water each day.
DAY ONE
All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consists of all fruits you want. It is suggested you consume lots of watermelon and cantaloupe.
DAY TWO
All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the new and cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the account or type. Avoid oil and coconut while cooking vegetables. Have large boiled potato for breakfast.
DAY THREE
Any mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet and no potatoes today.
DAY FOUR
Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. You can also have one bowl of vegetables soup.
DAY FIVE
Today is a feast day. You will eat 1 (one) cup of rice. You also have to eat 6 (six) whole tomatoes and drink 12 (twelve) glasses of water today to cleanse your system of the excess uric acid you will be producing.
DAY SIX
Today is another all vegetables day. You must eat 1 cup of rice today and eat all the vegetables you want cooked and uncooked to your heart’s content.
DAY SEVEN
Today your food intake will consist of 1 cup rice, fruit juice and all the vegetables you care to consume. Tomorrow morning you will be five to eight kilograms lighter than 1 week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. Repeat the program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you rest for three days before every repetition.
You have your system under control now and it will thank you for all the purging and cleansing you just gave it. Even more than a diet program it is good to follow this diet once in a while to clean your digestive system and remove toxic substances that have a accumulated in the system.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
The most important element of the program is the 10 (ten) tall glasses of water a day. You can also flavour the water will some lemon to make the drink easier. While on the program, take only black coffee and never more than one teaspoon of oil. Preferably do not use oil because the high calorific content. No fruit juices before day seven.
Here is what happens to you body while you are on this program and how and why it works.
Day 1: You are preparing your system for the upcoming program. Your only source of nutrition is fresh fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything you can possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.
Day 2: Starts with a fix complex carbohydrates in the form of a boiled potato. This is taken in the form of a boiled potato and taken in the morning to provide energy and balance. The rest of the day too consists of vegetables which are virtually calories free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.
Day 3: Eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from fruits. Your system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will have cravings, which should start to diminish by day four.
Day 4: Bananas and milk. You are in for a surprise. You probably will not be able to eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed during the last three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets and you will be surprised at how easy this day will go.
Day 5: Rice and tomatoes. The rice is for the carbohydrates and the tomatoes are for the digestion and the fibre. Drinking a lot of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. If you do not feel like having one cup rice, you may eat less. But you may eat six tomatoes.
Day 6: It is similar to day five. Vitamins and fibre from the vegetables and carbohydrates from the rice. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today compared to day one.
Day 7: You may celebrate with champagne. You may also have white wine instead of champagne, but in all practical programs, and in all surveys done to measure the success of the program, General Motors employees have always preferred champagne to white wine.
More than one cup of coffee with milk is especially forbidden. Milk and oil add empty calories to your diet. Avid coffee lovers can console themselves with black coffee. However, after the first week, it will help your digestion and set your stomach. The key thing to remember is that if you are hungry at any time, then you are not following the diet correctly. Almost all people give up the diet when they are hungry because of dieting. The secret of this program is that you should never hungry. If it is a vegetable day, eat so much vegetables that you are never hungry. If it is a fruits day, eat so much fruits that you are never hungry. You may be bored of eating vegetables all day, but you should not be hungry. You can take any amount of General Motors wonder soup on any day.
GENERAL MOTORS WONDER SOUP
The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to drink large quantities of this soup.
· 23 oz water
· 06 large onions
· 02 green peppers
· 03 whole tomatoes
· 1 cabbage
· 1 bunch celery – add herbs and seasoning as desired.
This program is highly recommended for women and men above 40 for whom excess weight is especially dangerous. Excess weight for women aggravates arthritis problems and leads to rapid joint decay. Pain and joint deterioration can be lessened by weight loss as weight loss removes the stress on the knee joint. Excess weight is the most critical factor in keeping good health and excess weight is responsible for the most problems including coronary diseases, heart problems, arthritis and cancer among other serious life threatening diseases. Most serious health problems can be avoided by the single function of maintaining an ideal weight. Daily mild exercise of 20 minutes is also essential. Do not tire yourself out, but being regular in your exercise and maintaining an ideal weight goes a long way in ensuring a happy, healthy and long life.

Wish you the very best in your endeavour!

Mandy asks…

Should an overweight person lose weight before doing ab workouts? Or should you do them during the process?

I’m about 30lbs overweight, should I focus on losing weight before I start focusing on my abs?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m sure you’ve heard about this amazing fruit called the acai berry with “mystical” weight loss qualities that help you lose weight fast, the natural way.

However, combined with proper diet and exercise, the acai berry can be an excellent weight loss aid. Its natural combination of antioxidants, essential fatty acids, amino acids, phytosterols, and amino acids work together to help your body function better, process food easier, and burn fat more efficiently. Let’s break down how the acai berry helps people reach their perfect weight…

The acai berry contains Omega fatty acids – the same medically recommended fats found in fish oil, olive oil and flaxseed. These fatty acids can’t be produced by the body, and must be obtained from the food we eat. Instead of being stored as fat, they are used by the liver to “kick-start” the metabolism. If you’re a slow starter when it comes to losing weight, or if you’ve reached the frustrating “plateau” phase of weight loss, adding some form of acai to your diet might be just the ticket to get over the hump.

The acai berry contains a generous amount of fiber which promotes a healthy digestive system and helps cleanse your system of fatty foods.

As mentioned above, the acai berry has a generous amount of fiber. High fiber foods like acai help you to feel fuller faster and cut down on nagging cravings, needless snacking, and late night trips to the refrigerator.

Final Word on Acai Berry & Weight Loss

Although it’s not the miracle weight loss solution that some claim, the acai berry has been medically and scientifically proven to contain ingredients that aid in weight loss. Not only does it provide a valuable boost to the metabolism, it also suppresses appetite, helps build muscle, and gives a much-needed shot of energy and stamina for those fat blasting workouts.
