lose weight FAST! all water diet?

so i start school in about 35 days and i want to lose at least about 15 pounds. i cant seem to lose weight! what should i do? all water diet for so many days/weeks? all somthing diet? if i do a water diet will i gain water weight first? if so how much? should i eat as little as possible or none at all? im thinking if i do somthing like this i will just lose the weight and i can keep it off. i do some kind of work out every day and its not like i eat really unhealthy? what do i do!? PLEASE help 🙁

weight loss cardiff answers:

Please listen to me: Last summer, I went through the exact thing, but during sleep away camp. I got in SO much trouble!! It sucked, because my doctor made me gain back all 15 lbs. I lost, and some. So now I’m losing it again, but by being smarter about the way I lose weight. Please do not go on an all-water diet, because not only will you cause yourself serious harm by not getting any nutrients (and possibly dying), you will gain back all weight as soon as you eat again (also, your stomach will have shrunken enough that your doc will freak out- trust me). So to lose weight fast smarter, try these tips:

-I keep my calories under 600 per day (this is sometimes called an “extreme-starvation” diet, because anything under 1000 calories is starvation).

-I drink 2 cups of water before and after every meal.

-Make a list of things to do when you feel the need to eat/are hungry and your already at or near your caloric limit (i.e. Reading, playing on the computer, exercising, etc.)

-Eat NO refined (processed) sugars. That is, don’t eat ANY candy, cookies, cakes, chocolates, sugary cereals (uncluding honey nut cheerios), etc. If you crave something sweet, make tea that is naturally sweet or eat a banana/grapes

-Something that helps me is keeping a journal every day. I write in it my planned meals for the day- 100 calories each, with room for 100 calories anywhere; my exercise goals (usually 30 minutes AT LEAST of cardio, strength, or yoga exercise); my current height, weight, measurements, and BMI (body mass index, search BMI on google if you don’t know what it is); and my goals for these (goal weight, measurements, and BMI).

Good luck! Also, check out my blog at becomeamodelin32days.blogspot.com for support!

John asks…

LOSING WEIGHT FAST!!!?

okay, I want to lose 15 pounds in less than a month.
I plan on: eating around 1200-1500 calories a day.
having a low carb diet for awhile then ease back once I get to my goal weight. (how low should a low carb be? I was thinking 90 carbs..?)
also running 5 times a week around 3+ miles a day

mornings, very early morning, I am going to start walking about 45 minutes before school to help shed the weight faster.

how long will it take to lose 15-20 pounds if I am 5’2 120lbs and 14?
no comment on my current weight I know I’m not obese!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there’s also the Jojo-effect.
The best thing to lose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That’s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn’t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?

Laura asks…

What diet would help me lose weight fast?

Any special diets on how to lose weight fast?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Susan asks…

What’s the best way to lose fat without gaining weight?

What’s the best way to lose fat without gaining weight? I started exercising again to lose weight (about 2 weeks ago) and I read somewhere you can’t lose fat from a certain area, you have to tone your entire body. So when I started working out again, I gained weight instead of losing weight, could it be muscle weight? Because I really want to lose fat and not gain muscles. It’s really strange because I used the exact same workout I did last time and I lose 2 pounds every week, in just one week I seemed to have gone from 115 to 118. All I want is to lose my big belly.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Muscle weighs more than fat, but if you want to lose the fat first and then gain a little muscle instead of changing your fat to muscle while still staying the same size, i suggest eating the same amount, but healthier foods and doing more of a cardio (cardiovascular) work-out (like running, jumping jacks, jump roping, speed walking, etc) instead of muscle-toning work-outs. Good luck!!!!

Lisa asks…

How long will it take to lose weight if i starve my self?

I really want to lose weight fast in like 2 weeks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

… Really? You’re really asking that?

If you starve yourself, you’ll -gain- weight because your body goes into starvation mode, starts retaining water and all kinds of other things. You’ll be sick and miserable.

If you really want to lose weight, go exercise, eat less processed foods, drink the full 8 glasses of water a day.

How much weight do you need to lose?

James asks…

What should I eat and do to lose weight in 2 weeks?

I’m a 13 overweight boy and I’m trying to lose weight in 2 weeks. I play basketball and go cycling like 3-4 times for 30 minutes each. I usually eat bread and butter for breakfast and eat rice and peas/beans for lunch and dinner. What am I doing wrong and what should I be doing right? Exact details on what I should eat please. Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Linda asks…

what diet is the best to lose weight fast and easily?

I have a very sweet tooth and i don’t have time to go to the gym? any suggestions? on how to lose weight fast and easily?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try this diet: http://voices.yahoo.com/how-lost-30-pounds-30-days-no-really-11889322.html

The author said she lost half a kg a day. I would definitely try to reduce sweets because they’re just empty calories and will be turned to fat quickly.

Susan asks…

Help me come up with a weight-loss plan for working out please? (10 points to Best Answer)?

Hey:

Okay, so I’m 14 and my sister is 12 and we both want to start working out; not just for weight loss, because honestly we’re pretty thin as we are and she’s even more slim than me. But either way, we wanna do it for the lungs and the heart; not to mention how powerful you feel post-working out. I wanna be in my mid 40’s and look back on this and look as if I’m in my early 30’s like Jennifer Aniston.
Anyway, we’re starting to do Pilates 2 times a week and the other 3 weekdays, we’re gonna work out at the gym for 45 minutes and then jog for another 45 minutes and then bike for another half hour. I want to work out 6 days a week, 2 hours a day.

Then, on Saturday, I might take up some yoga occasionally and I’m going to take a dancing class or just swim or do something to stay active. I’m thinking about either taking Sunday off or making it optional rather than mandatory. I want to be strict with my food, too; I want to eat 5 small meals a day and lots of veggies, fruits and drink tons of water. First, I guess I’m gonna start off as a thing that I feel I must do but I hoping the purpose of it will change through time and eventually, I will gradually feel it’s more of a habit and take it seriously and as importantly as brushing your teeth or heck even taking a shower! Bottom line, I wanna cut down carbs, not exceed my strict-policy, no-exception limit to 1,200 calories a day (if possible, less) and I’m gonna do lots of cardio, aerobics and weights.

Easy things like excluding some whip cream on my coffee, not adding a topping to my ice cream, eating protein without rice, and other things like that.

XOXO,
Thanks in advance. (:
PLEASE HELP ME COME UP WITH A PLAN URGENTLY AY-SAP!
And please don’t say I’m too young or any of that; I’ve heard it all before. If I wanted to hear that, I’d post this differently. Let me rephrase that: Just help me out, eh? With things that I consider helpful…not what you THINK will.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it…
I think the process is worth it and overall, I appreciate everyone’s concern and stuff…thanks for those of you who cared enough to answer =]

weight loss cardiff answers:

First of all, DON’T GIVE UP CARBS…you’ree too young b/c you’re still developing and carbs help your body do just that. Instead replace bad carbs(most white products like white bread and rice and pasta) and replace it with whole grains and whole wheat. Those are good carbs that help your body function; the white carbs tend to be stored as fat. Also drink 2% or skim milk and dairy products. If you can find a food chart online, follow it b/c if you don’t need to lose weight then you really should be eating at least 1800 calories…technically 2000 but not everyone can stomach that much. A food pyrmid will make sure you’re eating the right amount of foods so that you can have the best potiental for development(in all areas; brain, eyes, teeth, even reproductively…the amount you eat deals with all of that).
You have a really good workout routine already. Like you seem to have everything already planned out perfectly so I don’t exactly understand what you need help on but I only suggest that you do take a day off b/c as you workout you”re putting your body under a lot of stress and you need at least a day for it to heal. When at the gym, the ellipitical is great and so is the bike and steps. Try a few things out and see what you like the most(You can probably also get someone to help you out a little with exactly a plan) Remember to stretch before and after all your workouts!
