Susan asks…

How to lose weight without walking too much or running?

I am gaining weight by not doing much.I have had 3 surgeries on my knees.I have a degenerative bone disease and I cannot walk alot or run because its painful and will make it worse.I dont want to sit around and gain weight. I used to be very active.Just diesting is not doing much.Does anyone have any ideas on how to work out and lose weight without running or walking? Maybe a diet? HELP!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Get an indoor bike, if you ride casual, you will not put to much pressure on your knees – if you can! Diet should be protein based with vegetables. Get some dumbbells so you can do upper body training, shoulder press, arm curls, chest, back, triceps. You could do leg raises, squats using dumbbells in each hand (if you can), sit-ups for stomach.

Daniel asks…

Is the best way to lose weight running or walking?

I need to lose about 35-40 pounds and i would like to know the best and fadtes way to do it.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You have to crawl before you can walk. Which means — you need to build up your endurance. And keep in mind, a calorie burned is a calorie burned…

Regardless if you run or walk to get there..

So if you aren’t able to run for extended periods of time — then start by walking. And after a while, throw on some ankle weights. The weight will add resistance & help in the development of lean muscle.

((the more lean muscle you have = the more fat you burn when you aren’t exercising))

your main objective is to just GET MOVING!!!

Good luck, its hard out there… 🙂

Sandra asks…

Super-Fast, Easy Way to Lose BELLY WEIGHT!?

I need help. I am a skinny girl, but I used to be much skinnier. I have an apple shape, where all of my fat sort of gathers on my belly and doesn’t really go anywhere else. Its a problem.

Here is the world’s ultimate (and impossible) goal: to find a weight loss program/product that will help people lose weight at lightning speed that doesn’t change their dietary habits and requires minimal exercise.

Obviously, this is impossible. Otherwise we would all be tiny. But what I’m asking is for anything that anyone has discovered that’s closest to this divine criteria. (:

Now I’m looking for something more of a product than an exercise. The Jillian Michaels 14-day Cleansing dietary supplement thingy caught my attention, and this Accai Berry craze has really intrigued me. These are both things on my list of maybes. If anyone has any other kinds of products that you can buy (in a drugstore, preferably) that help you drop weight, LET ME KNOW!

And no, I do not want to do Jenny Craig or any kind of service where your dinner arrives via FedEx. Nor am I interested in laxatives–I don’t think that i have room in my schedule for such unpredictable bathroom breaks.

Thanks everyone!
(:

weight loss cardiff answers:

Jillian michaels 14-day cleansing thig or whatever. Idk but i think its worth a shot. Guess it like gets rid of all the bad stuff in your body and cleanses it and promotes the helath in all the goood parts of your body. You probably end up pooping alot, though. Be ye forewarned

Robert asks…

I’m a female and am 5’11” and weigh 150 pounds. What is my ideal weight/some good weight-loss tips?

I used to weigh 125 when I was in high school and I’ve put on 25 pounds in five years since then. I do not want to be one of those women who gets fatter as they get older. I’m tall, so it doesn’t look as bad as it would on a shorter person, but 150 is a lot for a woman.

I really haven’t ever dieted or worked out before, so any guidance on what is HEALTHY and would be best is appreciated. I don’t want a quick Master Cleanse fix or something that is unhealthy or just a fad. But about working out – I think I’ll hate it. I’m not athletic (tall and gawky here) and have no rhythm or ability physically, so I’m worried about looking like a dummy at the gym. I really have no idea what would be good/what’s easy to do.

weight loss cardiff answers:

5’11’ at 150 Is just SEXY.
Keep it around 150 and you boys will melt for you.
However you should start some form of exersice; whether its jogging, playing sports, swimming, yoga , pilate, squash, tennis, or whatever, choose something that you think you are gonna have fun doing. Doing exercise will make your body produce more endorphines which in turn will make you feel good and elevate your mood.
Also try to replace some of your simple carbs intake with some good carbs. Ie, switch your blueberry muffin into raisinbran muffin. Also try to switch carbs with some protein. I.e switch your fried rice dinner with oven roasted chicken( YUM YUM).
Cutting down on carbs will reduce that bloated feeling you might have sometimes.
In Conclusion, 1)do some exercise you like,2) cut down on some simple carbs, 3) don’t get caught in the media trying to sell you that anorexic look. 5’11’ at 150lbs is SEXY!

Carol asks…

why is weight loss greater when i skip workouts?

is there a reason that one would lose weight skipping excercise? i have been excercising every day for the past several weeks and seeing modest loss. i went easy on the elliptical friday, and totally skipped saturday and sunday. monday morning i had a loss of 3.5lbs! i usually only lose 1 or 1.5 per week. this has happened before. weird coincidence or is there some reason for this?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your body is saying ‘Thank fuck, he’s letting me rest. Time to repair and rebuild.’

You need the rest days. Take a day or two off each week.

Donald asks…

Can I lose weight by doing ab workouts?

If not, do you have any other easy weight loss suggestions?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You could I guess if you do it 24/7. The best way to lose weight is with moderate intensity aerobic exercises where all muscles ( like the thigh and buttocks) are involved not just one particular group.

James asks…

Can someone give me an At home weight loss workout?

Im going to be babysitting this week Sunday to thursday. And i just gained 5lbs and i need to get that an more off. Im going to be staying at that house. so i need a few workouts to do that will be easy and make me lose weight

weight loss cardiff answers:

Get 10 things to do in your routine. 5 should be something to do with stretching(touch the sky, arms on back), and 5 should make your heart rate go up (jogging in the spot, jumping jacks). Alternate moves between the two groups of 5.
At night, before you go to sleep, do 15 sit ups.
Remember that if you want to lose weight, you have to exercise AND eat healthy.
If this wasn’t helpful enough, look through magazines like cosmogirl, or find websites that show you what to do.

Daniel asks…

are there weight loss supplements that actually work?

do you know of weight loss supplements that actually work? im going to the gym and going to eat healthy but would like to also take something to help me as i am very over weight any tips?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Not without a prescription. Eating healthy (including portion control) and exercise is still the best way to lose weight. 1-2 pounds/week is considered reasonable healthy weight loss. You may lose weight a little faster than that at first as your body adapts to eating healthy and exercise. However, more long term rapid weight loss is more stressful on your body and less likely to be permanent.

Cut out sweets, seconds and junk including processed foods and things made from white flour. Use the whole grain version instead like whole wheat or multi-grain bread, whole wheat pasta (which I actually prefer), and brown rice. Drink only water. However, allow yourself one small cheat a week. This keeps you from feeling deprived and gives you something to look forward to the rest of the week.

Some people have no snacks. I find I get headaches if I don’t eat more frequently, especially when first starting to eat healthy and exercise. I’ll allow myself a healthy snack of a small piece of fruit or veggies. Just be sure no dressing or peanut butter with it. Studies have shown that it is better to have 3 medium size meals and 2 small snacks rather than just 3 large meals. This helps keep blood sugar more steady. Plus you won’t feel so hungry at meal times.

Try dividing you plate into quarters. First fill half with fruits and veggies, The other quarters are for the lean protein and whole grain carb. This will help limit your calories and ensure you get plenty of fruits and veggies.

Richard asks…

How heavy do you have to be to be put on weight loss supplements?

I weigh 180 pounds and I’m 5″3. What is the weight that the doctor then puts you on weight loss supplements?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is no answer to your question because…

1. It depends on the patient
2. It depends on the doctor
3. There are no weight loss supplements (that a doctor would recommend). You probably mean medication.

Consulting your physician is the only way to find out about your situation.

Good luck and good health!!

Mandy asks…

Why are weight loss supplements dangerous for those with thyroid disease?

Why are most weight loss supplements dangerous for people who are suffering from a thyroid disease? Is this reason still substantial for those whose thyroid is regulated with medication?

weight loss cardiff answers:

They can be dangerous because alot of them contain ephedra. Ephedra can affect your heart rate and blood pressure, things that are already slightly unstable because its being controlled thyroid replacement hormones, such as synthroid.
