weight loss cardiff answers:

Generally, the most effective and long-lasting way to lose weight is to do the old calorie method. You can find out your basic metabolic rate from any site online, such as http://www.fattyweightloss.com/calculators/burnrate After you have that number you know that without doing any excercise you have to eat a combined total of LESS than whatever that number is. To continue keeping your metabolic burn rate elevated you need to also do calorie-burning excercises that you enjoy. Depending on your current activity level, you should be able to easily up your workout regimine in increments so as to constantly “shock” your metabolic rate.

3 Super Diet Tips to Lose Effectively

1) You have to have some healthy fats with most of your meals. This is very important if you want to maintain the correct fat burning, muscle building hormone levels. Eating enough healthy fats will also help you to keep your appetite in check.

The best source of good fats are seeds, egg yolks (organic free range), raw nuts, avocado, coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil (has the highest antioxidant of all olive oils)

Top Tip – eat a handful of raw nuts or mixed nuts almonds, walnuts, pecans (all healthy choices) three times daily, about half an hour before meals. This will damper your appetite and provide your body with fiber, protein and healthy fat. This will help you to eat less calories at meal times and give you a great boost of nutrition because of the high density of nutrients in most nuts.

2) You should always try to eat a quality, high protein with each meal or snack. These would include grass-fed meats, raw dairy, nuts and beans will suppress your appetite and will help you to easily control your calorie intake.

These quality proteins will help you to build lean muscle, especially if you have a regular, hard work out. Your metabolism will be much higher from the lean muscle you are building up.

When you eat enough protein with your meals it will also help your body control blood sugar and insulin levels by slowing down the breakdown of undigested carbohydrates.

3) I don’t believe that a very low carb diet can be maintained, however, most people struggle to lose weight all their lives because of daily overeating excessively processed carbohydrates like refined sugars and refined grain starches.

The sugar found in fruits and berries are acceptable because the fiber in them helps slow the intake of sugar in the body. Just avoid fruit juices, which are almost only sugar, and because of the processing the fiber has been removed, so there is little goodness left.

Steven asks…

Can you name me a meal that is suitable for a diabetic athlete?

Hi!
I know this meal needs lots of carbohydrates and proteins. But how do you make a meal suitable for a diabetic?
And what must you consider in planning a diabetic’s meal other than the amount of sugar in it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Do you know anything about Glycemic Index?
Every diabetic should know about this!

Glycemic Index (GI) is the rate food is digested and turned into glucose. There is a low, medium and high GI. Eating foods with a low GI is best for your body. Theses foods are slowly digested, which does not cause a spike in blood sugar levels, which also prevents the pancreas from excreting high levels of insulin to balance it out.

Eating med. GI foods causes a moderate spike in sugar levels and causes the same in insulin to be excreted. These foods are ok to eat OCCASIONALLY and suggested to eat along with low GI foods to lower the overall GI.

Eating high levels of GI foods is really bad for your sugar levels. These foods are easily digested because they have little fiber and are already broken down through processing, before you consume them. Therefore, they cause spikes in your sugar levels, which causes your pancreas to excrete high levels of insulin to balance it out.
Effectively , eating med. And high GI foods causes your pancreas to “freak out” and overwork. After a long time of this occurring, your pancreas is no longer working effectively, which is one of the main reasons for having type 2 diabetes.

You can Google this topic easily, and get a list of all these foods, and try to avoid med, and high GI foods
Also, eating low GI foods are a great, and safe way to lose weight (I lost 20 lbs ) while eating this way, and still counting!

Here are some examples:
High GI: Low GI:

-potato chips – whole grain, or 100% whole wheat bread
-beer – Brown rice or basmati
-white rice – most fruit and veggies
-white bread
-fries
– over cooked rice and noodles

These are just a few examples, but the internet has loads of info on the Glycemic index

Thomas asks…

How to lose weight in about 2 weeks?

School is coming back soon in about 2 weeks and I wanted to lose some weight before it comes. Is there anything I can do.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I lost 80 pounds do this in 8 weeks. Eat apples. Here are some helpful tips.

Apples are known to keep the doctor away, but recent studies have shown that three apples a day can also help you lose weight. The effectiveness of three apples a day was first noticed by dietitian Tammi Flynn who advised her clients to have an apple at mealtimes. This enabled her clients to break the weight loss plateau even when their diet and lifestyle wasn’t changed.

Why Whole Fruit is Better
Apples are a good source of vitamins, minerals and fiber and they are low in fat, sodium and calories. They can make you feel full for longer as the fiber they contain expands in the stomach. Hence, you require less food to satisfy your hunger. Apples should therefore be eaten just before every meal. The fiber is contained in the skin so you should ensure that you always eat unpeeled apples for greater health benefits.

Advantages of Eating Apples
Apples contain high levels of antioxidants and minerals, and low levels of sodium. Thus, they help prevent water retention in the body. They also help to detoxify the body by flushing out excess water from the body. Most importantly, apples are low on the hypoglycemic index. This means that consuming apples doesn’t increase your blood sugar. Instead, apples help to keep your blood sugar levels under control. Apples are also good for the heart as they contain high concentrations of pectin. Pectin keeps blood cholesterol under control by drawing the cholesterol out of the blood stream. Apples and apple sauce have been associated with better lung function and apple extracts have also been known to reduce the growth rate of breast cancer, but it’s best, in general, to eat apples in their raw form.

Precautions
It’s better to eat the fruit rather than drink the juice or have apple sauce because the juice and the sauce don’t contain as much fiber, vitamins or minerals as the fruit. Juices and sauces also contain added sugar and preservatives, and are more harmful than beneficial for your health. You must ensure that you rinse apples with water before eating them, as supermarkets generally wax apples to make them look attractive.

Here are some tips to losing weight:
If you want to lose weight and keep the weight off, it’s not enough to reduce your diet. You’ll have to exercise as well. If you’re not used to exercise, start by walking for 30 minutes a day, then if you can manage that, gradually increase the time and your speed.

Give up drinking alcohol.

Avoid diet drinks such as Diet Coke and Diet 7up. They have no calories, but they taste as if they do, so your body will become confused. Drink mineral water when you are thirsty, with a little orange juice or apple juice added if you don’t like the taste or water.

Eat lots of vegetables with protein every day and reduce the amount of meat you eat.

IF I DRANK NOTHINF BUT MILKSHAKE FOR 2 WEEKS WOULD I LOSE WEIGHT?

I’m just wondering if I was to drink slimming world milkshake with low fat milk for my breakfast, diner and tea for 2 weeks. Would I lose weight? I really need to lose a few pounds before my engagement party. Also any tips on losing weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

That won’t help you. I’m sure the rest of what you eat with your milkshakes is pure crap. And the milkshakes are packed with sugars because they’re low fat, so no you won’t lose weight. You’ll probably even gain weight.

Richard asks…

How can i lose weight around my stomach fast?

im absolutely desperate to lose a little bit of weight around my stomach. The rest of me is skinny but my stomach is a little bit flabby.
How can i loose weight fast and easily (cos i don’t have time to exercise as my exams start in less than a month, after that its not a problem) but its depressing me and i cant do the whole “just don’t eat thing” cos i don’t have enough discipline, and i do eat healthily.Any quick fix methods?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi, concentrate on complex carbohydrates when eating carbs (ie. Whole grains, rice even in moderation, of course). Foods that are fiber-rich help eliminate the body’s tendency of storing fat in the wrong places (visceral area- stomach).

Also, Jude, it would be so beneficial for your physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual well-being to get even a little exercise in whenever you can. I know how finals can get you stressed and work overtime, but it’s better for you to take some time out to give yourself a break and restore yourself so in the end you will do better with those exams.
Do an indoor walking workout- even for just 10 minutes a day. That will increase your metabolism without a doubt, as well as stabilizing your blood sugar levels. Thus, giving your body more allowance to lose that weight you want to lose.

I hope that is helpful to you. Have a nice day 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

I just answered somenoe earlier regarding losing weight and will provide my experience to you as well.

I was weighing 185 Ibs two months ago. Writing to you at this time, i weigh 148 Ibs. So, i will tell you from personal experience on how i did it instead commenting on somebody else. I didnot run everyday, but I walked every day. I walked for 2 hours everyday and didnot miss a day without it. After coming home, I ate water melon. I didnot change my diet at all. I just ate what i ate before, but the only thing i did different to lose weight was to walk and ate fruit. I would like to bring my weight to 135 or 130 which is my normal weight or was my normal weight. You can do the rest of calculation on how long it would you by using my technique. Also drink lots of water and stop drinking soda etc if you want to lose weight quickly.

Helen asks…

What are good healthy diet plans for men?

Does anyone know of any good healthy diet plans for men. A healthy diet plan that is not boring and has many varieties of food.

weight loss cardiff answers:

First thing you need to understand about your diet is too much sugar in your blood will make you fat no matter what diet you are on or how much you work out. Too many ketones in your blood will prevent you from using the sugar in your blood as energy. Too few ketones in your blood will cause you to burn your blood glucose off too fast. So you need to eat small portions of carbs and protein about every 3 hours.
Another thing to know is that trans fat, hydrogenated oil and polyunsaturated fat causes type 2 diabetes. To raise your metabolism stop eating ANYTHING that has these in them. Polyunsaturated fat is ok in small quantities now and them. Also Cholesterol is a key thing. Bad cholesterol is high in red meats, dark meats, pork and even turkey and chicken breast. These types of cholesterol get inside the cell and clog it up. This prevents the cell from being able to accept sugar and burn it off. Where as the trans fats and hydrogenated oils form plaque on top of the cell wall and prevents insulin from being to stick to the cell therefore preventing sugar from being absorbed by the cell. These are the things that lower your metabolism rate as you get older and lead to heart disease and diabetes. To avoid this simply avoid these fats and cholesterols.
Any modified food starch, flour, enriched flour, corn starch, potato starch, high fructose syrups etc. All will raise your blood sugar levels higher and faster than pure sugar will. So watch out for things that say “lite” and “sugar free” and “diet”. Many of these things use these to elevate your blood sugars and keep you addicted by tricking you into thinking they are better for you than stuff with sugar in it. That is not to say that sugar is good for you but it is better for you than modified food starch for sure.
You will want to eat 2 green apples a day. The high level of soluble fiber and high level of pectin in them help slow the uptake of sugar into your blood stream. Also lots of green leafy vegetables will provide you with nutrients you need while slowing your sugar uptake. Never eat a carb without eating a protein with it. Never eat any carb that is a simple carb or has a hi glycemic index i.e. Corn, potatoes, bread.
Bread is ok if you get 100% whole grain with no additives or preservatives. In fact, this is a necessity. Real peanut butter with no trans fat and no additives is an awesome complex carb. Pecans are magical on blood sugar levels. Eat a handful and if your blood sugar is too high they will lower it. If it is too low they will raise it. And pecans will sustain your blood sugar levels for hours.
You want to have a 3:1 ratio of omega 3 fatty acids to omega 6 fatty acids. So fish without lots of mercury and olive oil for cooking is a must. Flax seeds are also good.
Taking about 10mg of a supplement called MDM, vitamin c, calcium, vitamin D and b12 are all great for making the cell walls more elastic which will raise your metabolism, help rid your body of plaque, and lessen your need for insulin. Another great trick is using about a half table spoon of cinnamon per day. Cinnamon actually has a chemical in it that acts like insulin and reduces the risk of diabetes and speeds up your metabolism.
You want to eat red meat at least once a week and at most a few times a week. Chicken is something to eat at least a few times a week but not more than once a day. Cod, Tilapia and Salmon are the meats of necessity.
Oatmeal is good for slowing the digestive process also, but it also burns off fast into sugar and spikes the blood sugar good. So it is important to not eat more than half a serving at a time and eat it with pecans and protein. Preferably egg whites cooked in olive oil with salsa or fresh veggies.
Greek yogurt is awesome for digestion and low in sugars. SILK is an awesome source of protein and carbs verses high sugar milk (11gm per serving = 1cup, not glass).
Make sure you watch all your pre mixed cooking spices. Most of them have modified food starch.
Beans are a great complex carb. If you are going to eat a potato try to limit to half of a red potato tops before working out. Not all fruits are good. Green apples, grapefruit are awesome. Oranges are borderline and most other fruits are high in fructose. Avoid granny smith apples though. Those are horrible on the glycemic index. Broccoli is a must.

What are good work out and diet plans for off season basketball?

im going to be a senior and im starting varsity on my high school team.

we work out at school and everything but i wanna know a good work out plans that involves running and weights…

also i would like to know a diet of healthy foods i should eat to stay in shape and what foods to stay away from..

weight loss cardiff answers:

To make it simple, there is a shake diet you can get on. It’ll make sure your getting the nutrition you need. Its especially important when training. Its simple cuz you dont have to worry about recipes or counting calories. Works for me. Heres the website I get mine http://www.shopherbalife.com/ucandoit And as far as workouts, when I was in high school I use to put some weights on my shoulders and do jump lunges. This helped me be quicker and dunk my senior year. Building muscle would be good during the office season, and closer to the season all you have to do is condition. If your building, theres also a protein drink thats good on that site.

Steven asks…

What are some good diet plans that actually have worked?

It’s been long since I’ve been on a diet, everyday I’ve been running a mile on treadmill for a week & lost 2 pounds. But I want to lose about 10 fast are there any diet plans that work? I’m not a cooker so simple stuff.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

You can see further details in a web search for “dash diet” + “lose weight”.
