Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Carol asks…

How can I lose weight with PCOS?

Im 26 years old, I have been trying to lose weight for a few years since I started putting on the weight from PCOS. I weigh 135lbs & Im only 5 feet tall. I love to exercise & I eat healthy (as recommended by my doctor), however, I just can’t seem to lose the weight. I’ve tried kick boxing, aerobics, elepticals, walking, free weights, resistance bands, exercise dvd’s I stay active on the weekends by kayaking but nothing helps. I still weigh the same & I haven’t lost any inches. I don’t know exactly what to do & my doctor isnt sure whats going on either. She tried putting me on metformin to regulate my mentrual cycle & to help me lose weight but that didn’t work either. Its frustrating to me because I had always exercised on a regular basis & was very lean & toned until my PCOS started kicking in at age 22. I still exercised & ate healthy yet I was gaining weight.
Anyone with PCOS out there that has similar issues or that has found a way to over come this & has lost any weight?
I forgot to add…I do count calories & I do calculate all that burning & intake. I also do not eat many carbs (bigger than my fist) & No processed foods.

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.html

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe.

Steven asks…

I’m incredibly overweight, and would like to lose weight. How should I go about doing so?

Okay, here I go:

I have a high BMI, so it’s not a “thinking” I’m fat, it’s “Knowing” I’m fat. I know diet and excercise are the key components of losing weight, but I need a plan that fits with my schooling, work, and band. I’m just tired of being fat. Could someone give me some general guidelines or suggestions as to what I should do, please? I’ve already cut out drinking pop, and I’m hoping it helps.

I don’t care about fitting in a size 2 (which I know will never realistically happen, because I’m genetically big boned), I just want to be healthy. I want to die of suffocation from laughing, exhaustion from exploring the world, anything, anything but diabetes, heart disease, or, to stop myself before I get there, OBESITY. And I want my kids to have a healthy living style so they don’t have to worry about this when they’re 15.

Thank you all for your help.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Start small and start slow. If you try to do it all you will get discouraged! Yes, cutting out pop will help! When that becomes easy for you and your not tempted by it anymore, cut out sugar or cut out fast food, then stop eating after 7 p.m. Drink lots of water! Cut up a sandwich size bag of veggies (pepper, celery, carrots, cucumbers), take them with you throughout your day. You can easily get in your veggies each day by doing that. Carry apples or oranges or some fruit for when you have a sweet tooth. The cravings do go away, it just takes time and patience.

Exercise! If all you have time for is a 15 minute walk, then take it. If it’s in the morning or middle of the day or evening, just go out and walk as fast as you can handle and don’t back down unless your dying, then slow down until you get your breath, then speed up again.

Exercise and eating well are the best ways to lose weight and to do it the healthy way. The other thing to remember is that it takes your body time. It needs to know your serious! If you are not doing these things consistently, then your body will not lose weight. Give yourself 1 day a month to indulge in one thing sweet or one treat you’ve been holding out on.

Think of it as a new way of life…this is how your going to live, no going back:) Good Luck!

Sandra asks…

How long does it typically take to lose 35 lbs, following a proper diet and exersise regiment?

I plan on losing weight. My goal is 35 lbs, to take me from 165lbs to 130lbs…I will be following a proper diet and exersise regiment…

I am just curious though as to how long I can expect this to take?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Firstly you can lose as much weight as you want in a short time period, however, you will gain it back. I am speaking from experience from someone who has been there done that with fad diets. There is the obvious liposuction, however, the recovery time is 3 – 6 months and it sounds as though that you’re in a rush to lose the weight for possibly an event with no downtime to spare. I am and have been on weight watchers for 2 years and lost 25 lbs. It was a slow and steady race, however, I haven’t gained the weight back ‘cause my diet has been stabilized and so was the weight loss from 0.5 – 1 lb/week.

Remember the weight gain didn’t happen overnight, it happened slowly over time, the same is with proper healthy weight loss, you can’t have/perform miracles over night.

These are some things that I do.

1.Drink lots of water as it kept me full longer.
2.Used an appetite suppressant like hoodie to make sure I don’t go over my daily calorie intake.
3.Did cardio and toning 3 – 4 times a week.
4.Made meal and recipe modifications as I cooked.
5.When I dined out, I made sure that I wasn’t shy about asking the kitchen to make modifications like dressing/sauce on the side, half portion ordered the kids meal etc.
6.Brushing teeth after every meal, the mint acts like an appetite suppressant and without the taste in your mouth, you can easily forget about the food.
7.Never drank diet cola, the aspartame actually made me crave food more for some reason.
8.At work I take a break before lunch and either take the stairs in the building or just general toning without weights. We have a gym at work so I do about 15 minutes of weights which not only gets my blood flowing but releases tension from a**hole customers.
9.Bought snacks in bulk (to save money) and properly measured what a cup or portion was and made individual baggies. There are some snacks on the market that are 100 calorie snacks, however, I find those to be too expensive than just buying in bulk and separating the portions yourself. Also by physically separating them yourself, you get an idea of what a portion is supposed to be and you learn to properly eye ball correct portions.

Chris asks…

How did you lose the weight after the kid?

I was 110 when I gave birth to my child and now I’m a chunky monkey, I’m not over weight but I’d love to lose the weight. I stay at this weight but I wanna be back to 110 or at least close. Any GOOD tips, besides diet and exercise. I do that but I can’t effin lose the weight! Well all would help!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well, I nursed my babies. Nursing requires an additional 500 calories per day to pull off, so as long as you drink plenty of water, and just eat normally the weight usually comes off fairly quickly and easily. If you can’t nurse the baby, or chose not to- then it really is a matter of time, exercise and diet. It takes a few weeks for the body to shift back to the non-pregnant mode of things, so the weight usually is slow at first. After two months or so though it should be back to normal. Now one word of caution- if you had the baby normally you have had a hip spread that put about an inch on the measurement. That inch isn’t going to disappear, so even if you do lose the weight you may find your skinny bum jeans will not fit. And they won’t ever fit again, either. You also tend to lose a little when the baby gets old enough to start moving around, and you have to keep up with the little darling. Sorry, but there still isn’t any good way to magically take off the pounds.

Maria asks…

what are some good ways to lose weight fast without pills?

i need to lose 30 lbs and i have tried many diets and i can’t find the right one.is there any way to lose weight fast and without pills?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get an online, desktop, or cell phone diet and fitness calculator. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

http://www.webmd.com/content/pages/18/102117.htm

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Posted on by

Donald asks…

Healthy way to lose weight within 3 days?

I need to lose up to 3 lbs in these next 3 days, any suggestions? please, please help.
If I skip breakfast, does this mean that I’m gaining more weight? And if so, how much am I gaining?

I have been skipping breakfast, but I’m guessing that is bad now?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well first of all DONT skip breakfast. That slows youre metabolism causing weight gain. Try to eat healtyer and not big meals. Try to eat 3 main meals (smaller then you normally do) and some snacks. This speeds up metabolism. Also limit fatty foods and high calorie foods. Limit salt. This is the only healthy wey that i know.

Lisa asks…

Is it possible to lose a couple pounds in weight in 3 days?

I was wanting to know is it possible to lose maybe 2 pounds in 3 days? If I ate the right stuff and did a lot of exercise over this time will I lose any weight? I have my weigh in on Friday and I think I have put on weight. I don’t weigh myself until my weight class. So is it possible to lose weight with in the this small amount of time?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best way to lose weight is to eat a healthy balanced diet and exercise at least 30 minutes a day. Staying away from fast food and junk foods and eating more fruits and veggies will help slim your waist line. So if you do this in the next 3 days, it MIGHT be possible to lose a couple pounds.
