Nancy asks…

i cant lose weight easily!?

okay i am 15 about to be 16 and i want a nice body for the summer. i am currently 160lb. i have tried multiple diets and can not lose weight once so ever.. it seems as if i gain weight? like one time i stopped drinking pop to lose weight and i ended up gaining weight. ?? please help i really want to lose weight. i am not comfortable with my body once so ever and i really want to be. i want to end up weighing around 110-120 by may. i don’t care if the diet is unhealthy just as long as the weight doesn’t come back a couple weeks/months later!! PLEASE NO “READ ABOUT IT HERE” and please, i don’t really wanna hear about how im young and shouldn’t worry about my body and stuff. ALL REAL ANSWERS WILL GET A LIKE AND BEST ANSWER WILL GET 5 STARS

weight loss cardiff answers:

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercise.

Reducing your intake of junk sugar will help. Foods such as desserts, sweets, cakes, cookies or biscuits must be eliminated or substantially reduced. Cereals must be restricted to those that contain less than 15% total sugars and junk sugar loaded foods such as pizzas must be avoided. Junk sugar bowls must be abolished.

Junk sugar health hazards are discussed in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22sugar+health+hazards%22&fr=ush-ans

The natural sugars in fruit and vegetables are OK as they are metabolised to glucose slowly due to their high fiber content so they have a low to medium GI value. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and are not fattening. Most fruit and vegetables are metabolism boosting foods and that helps for weight loss. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are exceptions and can be fattening.

Fattening combinations that you need to avoid include combinations of protein foods (such as eggs, meat, poultry, sea food, cheese and nuts) with starchy carbohydrates (such as bread, cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn).

Mark asks…

lose weight now?

if i eat say something that is 500 calories
and that is one meal
and for the rest of the day i ate fruits like rasberries is this a healthy way for losing weight around ur tummy

weight loss cardiff answers:

Read this excerpt from the book “Dieting for Dummies” by Jane Kirby: “Don’t cut your calorie level drastically when trying to lose weight; this strategy will backfire. Your body is programmed to defend your usual weight, so when calories are cut severely – to fewer than 800 to 1,000 a day – your metabolic rate adjusts to conserve the few calories you do give your body.”

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Send me an email or yahoo instant message to “gainbetterhealth” if you want an indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have any questions.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

Daniel asks…

What are some good food choices that have made you lose weight?

I’m asking for personal experience with foods that, along with a good workout routine, have proved helpful in aiding you lose weight. I am trying to figure out the most effective diet that I can in order to reach my goal body.

By the way, I am well aware of the fact that eating a certain deficit of calories will cause weight loss – but that’s not what I’m asking. I would simply like a list of foods that YOU have had experience with whilst losing weight.

Thank you 🙂

Linda asks…

How can my 17-yr old girl friend lose weight fast this summer? Any healthy and easy suggestions?

She’s been working out, but she’s seen no changes still. Instead, she gets fat comments. She really feels bad. I want to find advices that can help her with her weight loss problem.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Mark asks…

How can i get a Kim Kardashian body?

I’m setting a weight loss goal over the next 12 months. Muffin tops run in my family so that will be my biggest challenge. Any suggestions on how to target this area as I choose a workout plan?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Having recently lost 15 pounds, Kim Kardashian shared her celebrity diet secrets with the media. Kim lost two dress sizes after being mocked for having cellulite airbrushed out of one of her photos. As the official spokesperson for the diet pill QuickTrim, Kim gives most of the credit of her stunning weight loss to the pill. She states that QuickTrim “helped boost my metabolism and jump-started my weight loss”. But diet pills alone didn’t get her that smoking hot body. If you’d like to get a body like Kim Kardashian, read on to learn her diet secrets.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

1

Eat scheduled, portion controlled meals. Good eating habits are essential for achieving a body like Kim Kardashian’s. Her diet consists of 4 meals. For breakfast she has a protein smoothie or scrambled egg whites with veggies. Kim eats a light lunch, usually a simple salad with fat free dressing. Then for dinner, she eats a nutritious meal with plenty of fresh or steamed veggies and lean protein such as grilled chicken. At the end of the day Kim enjoys a small snack like low fat yogurt.

2

Get serious about exercise. Kim’s sexy body doesn’t come without work. It takes serious fitness dedication to score a celebrity body. Kim exercises for an hour every day. Her routine consists of a 10 minute cardio warmup (usually jogging on an incline), and a series of strength training moves for upper body, lower body and abs. Lunges are especially important in Kim’s workout for maintaining her signature booty. Be sure to incorporate plenty of lunges, squats and stepping exercises in your own work out if you want a butt like Kim’s! You can follow her workout routine at home by watching her fitness DVD “Kim Kardashian’s Fit in Your Jeans by Friday”.

3

Find yourself a weight loss buddy. Kim’s sister, Khloe, keeps her on track with her weight loss program. The Kardashian sisters used the buddy system to lose weight and continue to support each other in keeping the weight off. Studies have proven that people who have a weight loss partner and a good support system are far more likely to reach their fitness goals without giving up. Find a good weight loss buddy for yourself and the two of you can work together to get a hot body just like Kim’s.

If you have a skinny body and you’re not curvy then you can’t really have a body like her but i hope this helps:)
