Laura asks…

What is the best diet where i can lose a lot of weight very quickly?

i am 15, 5’4″, and i know i’m overweight. it’s summer so i want to go back to school looking amazing and i can lose weight very easily. i don’t have access to weights or machines but i do have access to a pool and a track.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think you know the answer to your questions as you bring up having access to both a pool and a track. Consider yourself lucky as most people don’t have the luxury of one of these, never mind both of them. Take advantage of them both. Both are great cardio workouts. Swimming will give your entire body a workout while developing long, lean muscles. Swimming is also great for your core muscles groups (abs and such). Use the track to speed, walk, jog and/or run. Again great cardio and fantastic for building and toning muscles specifically in the butt, thigh and hip area. By combining both methods you will be able to work out your muscle groups differently and you should see great results. I don’t know how many laps you can do in the pool or on the track so I don’t want to tell you how much to do. What I would suggest is start off slow but push yourself enough to ‘feel’ it. You have to get your blood pumping (heart rate up) and your lungs need to do a lot of work. Start today with something that is manageable and when you want to stop running, try going on for one more minute. Don’t worry about not doig enough right now. Focus on the fact that you are in the pool doing laps or on the track doing laps. You have to be willing to push yourself and it’s not always easy. You have to be willing to go a little further when all you really want to do is stop. That’s what will guarantee your success. It goes without saying that you need to have a good diet also. Soda is the worst thing you can put into your body so avoid it as well as sugary juice drinks. Stick to water. Also any processed food should be avoided. Stick to what’s fresh and natural. If you can’t find it around the perimeter of the grocery store, don’t put it into your body. And of course portion control. Bottom line is, it’s about lifestyle change. Not about dieting. You have to decide how you want to look and feel and go after it. Good luck and good health!!

Ruth asks…

How can I lose 10 lbs in 2 weeks?

Currently, I weigh 135 lbs. Long story short, I need to lose at least 10 lbs in two weeks. I’ve had weight loss success before, and I’m better at counting/restricting calories then I am meal-planning, so specific numbers per day would be helpful. Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

You sound pretty mature, with that said, I think you don’t need to lose weight.. 135 Is good for a male/female.

Nancy asks…

Does anyone have weight loss success story after stopping zoloft? I have put on weight on it despite dieting?

I also exercise regularly. I am convinced it is the Zoloft that has caused the weight gain. Please, I would only like to hear from people with personal experience of weight loss after stopping Zoloft. No diet or exercise advice. I have tried it all!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I totally understand what your talking about my mother has been on Zoloft for over a year now and recently she has stopped taking it. My mother has gained close to 30 pounds since she stopped taking it!

This has really been a struggle for her since she has never had a weight loss problem!

I too have tried to help her lose weight buy trying diet plans and diet pills.

We recently have got her on a Caloric Restrictor that reduces the amount of calories she takes in. That has helped her lose a few pounds a week. Its a miracle

I dont know if its right for you let me ask you a few questions.

How much weight do you want to lose?

Are you looking to lose weight without having to diet or exercise ?

Are you looking for something to help eliminate random cravings? Or stop overeating?

How fast are you looking to lose weight?

Do you carry most of your weight around the middle?

I understand what your looking for something that can help you lose weight a little faster than diet and exercise. Diet and exercise works but if you need to start losing weight like next week .

Cause you could start using a Caloric restrictor that automatically restricts the amount of calories in your body.

These caloric restictors even work without diet or exercise and even eliminates cravings for foods.

But if you do diet and exercise you will see even better results!I know people who lose 20 pounds in a month.

So you can still eat your regular foods but you’ll take in less calories and start losing a few pounds a week. Is that what your looking for?

She is using 2 capsules twice a day before i eat and I notice it reduces my appetite and its helped me burn the fat of my tummy and mainly my middle section.

Akavar helps with Stress, metabolism, overeating.

Plus its made with vitamins and herbs. Even if you want some free information on this caloric restrictor check http://www.akavarpills.com

Hope this helps

George asks…

Can apple cider vinegar water be detrimental to your health?

While reading a series of articles about weight loss I came across an article about 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar in 8oz of water.Then I bought some and made my own following the directions.My question is because it is also used for cleaning purposes can it erode or wear away my throat or stomach after long term use, and does anybody have any success stories.Thank You.

weight loss cardiff answers:

No it is very good for your health and most people find it hurts heartburn not causes it. I saw a site with many testimonies to vinegar helping their gerd and heartburn not the opposite.

The doctor who started the craze Dr Jarvis in the book in the 80s or so called Vermont folk medicine used it on so many of his human both children and adults and animal patients (he was also a vet) and found it only did good for the body. He went back to stufdy the hundreds of year old folk medicne in Vermont and doctor the people and animals.

He found that when used to try to change the urine from acidic to alkaline sick people always got well if they could get their urine to be alkaline Generally only produce is alkalizing and most grains, beans and animal products are acidifying.

You do want to be sure the apple cider vinegar you use is raw and not pasteurized as this kind is not really safe for the body.

Never use vinegar in plastic bottles as the plastic leeches into the vinegar since it is acidic environment (before it enters the body) if you must use pasteurized use Heinz

To find it check health food store like whole foods or health food section of the grocery store or buy online. Most common brands are braggs (she has a good book called apple cider vinegar on amazon–her dad opened the first health food store in America), eden or spectrum

Some people add a spoon of raw honey to it for its benefits.

Vinegar is one of the few negative calorie food..other foods that help metabolism are hot foods like cayenne and hot mustards

The average American thinks nothing of drinking coffee, tea, smoking, eating all kinds of artificial flavoring, colorings, junk and fast food but then questions if a natural food or treatment is gonna hurt them..far more damage comes from eating the average SAD than from vinegar

I have heard it gets rid of bone spurs and am currently trying it for this purpose and have been on it 5 days thus far. It has many many uses including making “runts of the litter” both people and animals grew taller and most of them go on to become blue ribbon winners (the animals that is) and it helps take calcium out of joints and flesh and into the b0ones and teeth where it should go..

Jarvis noted butchers that butchered both animals given no vinegar over rations and those given vinegar noted these animals were different.

Those not given vinegar has easy to cut through bones and hard to cut through joints and flesh and those given vinegar had hard to cut bones and tender flesh and easy to cut joints showing that the calcium was not going to the wrong place (source dc Jarvis book called arthritis)

In Vermont it was used to get rid of calcium deposit buildups on the inside of tea kettles and water heaters form the hard water found in Vermont,.

He also found animals loved and wanted it so much when poured on their rations they licked it dry and ate the dirt it fell on down several inches to get it and little kids instinctively sought out vinegar and sour leaves and drank vinegar straight on say cukes. I remember doing that as a kid and loving the straight vinegar on cucumbers. When we get older we lose our natural instincts

It has many uses including keeping the skin more tender and youthful according to Patricia Bragg’s book

My success story was being very ill one day with nausea and diarrhea and stomach upset and having a ticket for a concert that night I did not see how I could get through, I sipped vinegar water all day and by night I was fine again and able to go to the concert.

In fact, I am sipping it now.

Chris asks…

Has anyone lost weight using apple cider vinegar?

I bought the Bragg brand apple cider vinegar and wanted to use it for weight loss by taking a tablespoon before every meal mixed with water, and of course exercising and watching what I eat. Anyone have success losing weight using apple cider vinegar? Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Nope. It didn’t helped anyone I know.

But Hey, do you want to lose weight easily by doing nothing or get motivated to lose weight easily without even giving up half-way?

My friends and even my mom has done it – it worked for them!

The key and answer to successfully do it is in Your Subconscious Mind.

The subconscious actually stores a multitude of memory patterns which will feed information to the conscious mind when activated. Data is never erased unless the subconscious mind gives that command.
For example, when you walk or drive to your destination, you do it automatically without being aware of it – that is your subconscious mind doing the whole process without your conscious mind.
The subconscious brain is very good at its job and works 24 hours a day on keeping us alive.

The subconscious controls and regulates involuntary functions of the body such as breathing, circulation, Metabolism, Digestion, hormone balance, etc.

So you may wonder.. How do you tweak or make your subconscious mind to lose weight easily? The answer is… Hypnosis!

Hypnosis is done by bypassing your conscious mind to your subconscious mind giving instructions and storing them successfully.
That is why people can quit smoking, feel extremely motivated, attain success easily, study easily and so on Successfully just after 1 session of hypnosis! Even faith-healing uses Hypnosis!

You will thank me because I can guarantee you Hypnosis Works! You can just let your natural metabolism be high and Lose Fat Doing NOTHING effectively and immediately or be motivated to stop binge eating and exercise regularly without pain or laziness!

Robert asks…

Can you lose weight by eating small meals?

Is it better to eat small meals throughout the day, or just stick to 3 square meals a day? Which is better for losing weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It is not healthy to restrict the amount of calories that you consume by starving yourself. Opposed to the traditional thinking that three meals a day is best, today’s research now shows that 5-6 smaller meals each day can actually help you achieve your weight loss goals. If you limit your calorie consumption too drastically your can put your health at serious risk.

While trying to lose weight, more and more people are victims of “roller coaster diets.” Your body will experience starvation from diet plans that restrict your calories, and thus decrease your body’s metabolism. Your body doesn’t use a lot of calories when this occurs, and that leads to extreme hunger.

You should eat between 5 and 6 smaller meals each and every day to increase your body’s metabolic rate. Your body will be able to burn calories all day long because your metabolism will increase. If you eat foods that are high in protein during your six meals, you’ll be able to increase your metabolism even further.

Because of the thermic effect of food, you’ll be able to boost your metabolism by eating regularly. To create the thermic effect, you’ll need to absorb and digest a lot of calories of food. Ranging from 3 to 30 percent, different foods have different percentages of the thermic effect. A 30 percent thermic effect can be taken from high protein foods. Tuna, salmon, and turkey are all good examples of this type of foods. By simply digesting these foods, 30 percent of their calories are burned. Complex and fibrous carbohydrates burn away 20 percent of their calories during digestion. Spinach, broccoli, green beans, and corn are all good examples of fibrous/complex carbohydrates. Refined carbohydrates and fats have a very low thermic effect. Dietary fat is stored very easily because of this.

Your energy level will rise while you eat 5-6 smaller meals each day, while your hunger level will diminish. Helping to prevent hunger, you will also be able to maintain better balanced blood sugar levels. In order to increase your body’s metabolic rate, you can develop muscle. You can maintain insulin levels in your body by eating regularly. This will promote muscle growth by facilitating amino acid production in your muscle cells. You can gain a steady output of insulin by eating every 3 hours – this is very good for storing glycogen and for muscle growth.

Your targeted weight loss will be easier to accomplish as a result of eating healthy foods more regularly. Your body will also gain the advantage of processing minerals and vitamins more effectively. It is important to maintain a consistent schedule for eating. Planning your meals this way will be well worth the effort, although it might be difficult to adjust at first.

Get into the habit of feeding your body foods that are rich in nutrients – that will help to prevent hunger and cravings. The best way to go is to incorporate a weight loss program including a good diet of lean protein, fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats. Eating a diet like that with 5-6 meals each day will increase your body’s metabolism, increase your energy, and accelerate the growth of muscle. You’ll also store very little fat, and you can make your diet more effective by combining it with cardiovascular exercise and strength training. You’ll start on the fast track to weight loss and burning fat by using these methods.

John asks…

How do should I start off weight lifting?

My doctor suggested for me to try weight lifting to lose some weight but I don’t know what to do or how to start. Any tips on what I should use and a good work out?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weightlifting or strength training is any exercise that moves your body through a range of movements against some kind of resistance. Regular strength training keeps the muscles strong which can help to prevent injuries and chronic joint pain. If you are living with joint pain, strengthening the muscles that surround that joint will help to take pressure off the joint and therefore reduce pain. Below are some tips for weightlifting.

1)Use the appropriate weight. The right weight is one that allows you to do the exercise for 10 repetitions with good form. Using a lighter weight and doing higher repetitions may not be challenging enough to your muscles to get the most out of your routine. Using a heavier weight may cause you to neglect your form which can lead to injury.

2)Once you find a weight where you are fatiguing on the 10th repetition stay with that weight until you can easily do 12 repetitions. Then go up by two to five pounds. Go up a smaller amount for smaller muscles like your biceps and go heavier for larger muscles like those in your back or legs.

3)With all exercises exhale as you lift the weight and inhale as you lower the weight. For most this feels opposite to what the body wants to do. However if you inhale and then lift the weight you can actually raise your blood pressure. By exhaling as you exert yourself and lift the weight you keep the body calmer by reducing the strain.

4)Move slowly. Take a four second count to both lift and lower the weight. Weight lifting should always be done slowly and with control in order to most effectively isolate the muscle and to prevent injury. Never try to combine aerobic exercise and weightlifting such as walking with hand or ankle weights. When you are doing aerobic exercise the goal is to move fast enough to raise your heart rate. However holding weights when moving this quickly puts too much stress on shoulder, knee and ankle joints and can lead to injury.

5)Make the movements smooth. Never use jerking or bouncing movements when lifting weights. This puts too much stress on the joints and if you are moving quickly and bounce you are not effectively isolating the muscles.

It also depends on the kind of exercise you are doing in those 45 mins.

Donna asks…

how can you lose weight easily and fast??? like 20lbs -30lbs in a month???

weight loss cardiff answers:

The rule of thumb is that that any weight loss rate faster than 2 lbs or a kilo a week is too fast and you will regain all your lost weight.

Slow and steady is the way to go if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You need patience.

8 lbs a month is the way to do it or 4 kilos a month.

More fruit and vegetables and smaller servings of red meat, poultry, potatoes and chips might help.
