Sandra asks…

When should I expect to start losing weight?

Ive been on a diet for five days now. I eat 4-6 small meals. I work out a half hour everyday. I lose weight VERY easily and quickly. I lost 30 pounds, a pound a day, by drinking less soda. I’m currently 200 pounds. And I’d like to be down to 160 by June. What do I need to change? And how soon can I expect results? Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

It really depends on the amount of calories you consume. You want your body to eat up more than you eat. However this doesn’t mean you should cut out food just eat healthier foods until you are satisfied. Also I would suggest a cardio work out for an hour each day. Running, swimming, cycling, brisk walking are all good exercises for loosing weight. I would say if you eat healthy and work out you shouldn’t have any problem loosing weight. However I would say that you might not reach your goal by june but again that depends on your body type. Also cut out high fatty and sugary foods altogether. Such as soda or chips. Best of luck to you!

Jenny asks…

How can I lose 55 pounds in 3 months?

I am an 18 year old female freshman in college. I am 5’6 and weigh 195 right now. I would like to lose 55 pounds by the end of December (around 3 months). I need to lose weight quickly, easily, and inexpensively asap. I do not have much time to work out and I can not cook in my dorm. Please help, thanks! Also please include tips such tips about water pills and such. Again thanks alot.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Don’t do it dangerously. Avoid pills, laxatives, barfing etc. The best way is to lose weight in a way you can continue the rest of your life. One of the luckiest things that happened to me was getting diabetes. I had to start counting my carbs. I’m only 5’2 and I weighed 190 when I started. I read the back of labels, read other things to make sure I stuck to no more than 60 carbs a meal. Meat and most vegetables don’t count in that, so when I was still hungry I’d eat vegies . I’ve lost 40 lbs. In 5 mo. (and would have lost more but had a relapse last month and also never got around to exercising which would have enabled me to lose more faster). And after awhile it became fairly easy because I got use to portion control. I wasn’t stuck on having to eat any particular thing, but if I wanted a milkshake for example, that would end up using up all my carb choices, so I learned to limit those. Also, choosing high fiber foods helps fill you up and clean you out before those calories can stick. Inexpensive, healthy and fairly fast. And it’s not a fad diet that in the long run puts more weight on you than you lose.

Paul asks…

What is the fastest way to lose weight/fat in your arms?

I have always been able to lose weight fairly easily in my legs and stomach by exercising and a little weight lifting but my arms never lose inches, how can I do this?! help please!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

You cannot spot reduce without surgery. Unfortunately, your arms are where you store fat. I store fat there to. You can shrink your arms by losing weight in your entire body. To tone them, dips are great and lift weights, high reps, low weight to tighten up the area.

Thomas asks…

How many calories should a male eat to lose weight without much exercise?

Just wondering how many calories I should be eating a day to lose weight without doing much exercise.
thanks :]

weight loss cardiff answers:

Take your weight in pounds and multiply it by 10. That is the MINIMUM amount of calories you should eat. Eat just above that amount to stimulate healthy, sustained weight loss. I recommend lean meat and green vegetables; they will help you stay full and avoid overeating.

However, without exercise, you will lose muscle just as easily as you lose fat, so your body composition will not improve. You will look “skinny-fat”. Do some heavy weightlifting if you want to keep your muscle mass.

Nancy asks…

Is it possible to lose 1lbs to 2lbs a week with exercise? Is it realistic?

I am being told the average person should lose only 2lbs a month with or without exercise and the weight stays off longer. I am also being told that it is impossible to lose 50lbs in 7 to 8months because of this rule. Is all this true??? I can understand losing only 1lb a week, but the 2lbs a month sounds ridiculous. I am trying to lose weight and I want to know if this is true or not. If it’s true why?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have been losing two or more pounds a week without exercising, so what you have been told is very untrue and I am 30 years old so my metabolism isn’t as fast as it used to be. Also, the more you have to lose, the faster the weight will come off so you can easily lose 50 pounds in 7 or 8 months.

Nancy asks…

How much weight could you lose if you ate 700 calories per day?

How much could you lose in 5 weeks?

Is it possible to lose weight in just one week?

And also, how much weight could you lose in two weeks if you ate 500 calories per day?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yea you would lose weight. But its not healthy. Your body will feel like its starving itself and you eventually will feel hungry enough and go splurge somewhere and gain the weight back. However. A 700 calorie diet isnt so bad I think. Sometimes I do it on accident. I log whatever I eat in a food journal. And I am a nurse. I work three days a week twelve hour shifts. Sometimes on those days I dont eat any more then 600-700 calories. Its not on purpose. And then I go to the gym and work out. Thing is I am sincerely not hungry. I drink so much water that my body has learned to distiguish what true hunger is. And the things I eat tend to be low calorie anyways. But its not like I do that low amount of calories everyday. My normal intake is 1200 or less. But i honestly hardly ever make it past a thousand. Its not purposeful, I just dont eat that much. So it can be unhealthy, but I have been in the gym 6 days a week and do cardio and weight lifting. I prolly lost water weight in the beginning, but I have lost body fat and have slimmed down. I really dont recommend you do that low amount of calories.

Linda asks…

How much weight do you have to lose to go a clothing size down?

Well, i really want this shirt. But it doesnt have it in my size. So im trying to lose weight to be able to buy it. (I’ve been wanting to lose weight for awile). So how much weight do you have to lose to go a clothing size down? 2 clothing size down? 3 clothing size down?

weight loss cardiff answers:

My experience seems to be about the same as the other responders before me. 10 pounds loss got me from waist 34 to 33. I want to get to 32 so I guess that’s another 10 pounds. Bummer!

Joseph asks…

How much should I run a week to lose weight?

I am 16-year-old and am not over weight but would like to be in better shape.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Of the many forms of cardiovascular exercise, running is one of the most efficient ways to take off excess weight. When trying to lose weight via running, the cardinal rule is to burn more calories than you take in, so keep your calorie expenditure and your calorie intake in mind when planning how much you’ll need to run a week to lose weight.

Charles asks…

Could I lose weight in 1 week and 3 days?

By going for a 35 minute bike ride every day, eating healthy, and only drinking water. I am not over weight , I just want to lose about 10 pounds. how much will I lose in a week and 3 days?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Depending on how your bike ride is, if it is a full speed or just strolling around, you could definitely do it. Just eating healthy isnt specific enough, Watch the amount of calories and carbs you take in specifically. If you dont give your body what it needs to gain weight, it cant. Water only is a very good point. On top of biking you should also do some ab workouts, like crunches and oblique crunches, along with some jogging or running up and down stairs.

Donald asks…

How to lose weight this Week?

Is there a way, or is it possible to lose 3 lbs in a week? if so, how? and how would i do this in a Healthy way? please let me know

weight loss cardiff answers:

3lbs in a week isn’t that hard to do. Most of our bodies weight is water. If you do cardio work for an hour a day along with stretching and healthy eating, this should be a very attainable goal.

Our bodies digest carbohydrates for the first 15 minutes of a workout then fats for the next 45 minutes. This gives us an hour, at a cardiovacular rate, that we are burning off unwanted materials from our bodies.

Your diet for the week shouldn’t be filled with lots of fruits, since some fruits are high in sugars. A healthy amount of these is needed, however, to promoted the lean muscle to keep off the weight. Turkey, chicken, and poultry will add protein which will make you gain muscle mass. Fish is a healthy source of protein that has a low fat content. Try to adjust what you eat, stay away from soda, carbonated drinks of all type and even coffee.

Best of luck to you
