Mary asks…

What are some important components of a successful weight loss plan?

Hello Everyone,

I would like to know what are some good ways to help people lose weight?

For instance, if you were to create a weight loss program what would be something that you would make sure to emphasis or implement?

Thanks in advance for your time.

The most critical aspect of a weight loss program is selecting foods that are nutritionally rich and lower in calories.

I lost 80 pounds by simply changing to a low-fat whole plant based diet as described by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr. I do exercise, but I learned through experience that diet is far more important than the level of activity. That being said, I do exercise moderately for about one hour each day. Weight training is also a good way to build muscle rather than fat. The volume of tissue created with the same number of calories is seven times more for fat than muscle. I’d rather have an additional pound of muscle rather than seven pounds of fat.

I also learned that maintaining a healthy weight is a lifestyle change. You don’t keep weight off by joining Weight Watchers for one year. Most victims of commercial weight loss programs learn that they cannot keep the weight off for more than about a year or two. Atkins and calorie restricted diets also do not work for the vast majority of people. (Kolata)

Michael asks…

What’s the most effective weight loss program out there?

So I’m trying to loss some serious weight before my wedding date, which is 7 months from now. Can anyone recommend a good weight loss program?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7 p.m.
I know a woman who lost 60 pounds a month on it. She did nothing else!

Mark asks…

Why does the weight loss program discourage exercise?

I’m on this weight loss program and they say not to exercise too much since I’m only eating 1200 calories. why do they discourage much needed exercise? Isn’t it healthy?
I want to work out 5 times a week one hour a day on the elliptical and I know I will have better results…do you think this is a good Idea, I’m also a bit used to it
Yeah…I thinking money…..

weight loss cardiff answers:

They say a body needs 900 calories (minimum) to function properly. If you are burning more than 300 calories in exercise, there’s your reason…

I would suggest you increase your caloric intake by how much you plan to burn off (on the treadmill/elliptical/whatever)

consult your trainer and tell them that you want to lose weight but you also want to be fit. Compensate with food what you lose in the gym!

GOOD LUCK

Lizzie asks…

What commercial weight loss programs are vegan?

I lost 90 pounds on a “whole plant based diet” (healthy vegan), but want help in losing another 60 pounds. Are there any commercial weight loss programs that are “vegan” in nature?

Gina Kolata describes the abysmal record of the most popular programs including Weight Watchers, Atkins, and medically supervised calorie restricted diets. Her deep research indicated that the vast majority of people fail to maintain much weight loss over a period of a few years.

What commercial programs are available to vegans?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Commercial diet programs sometimes rely on pre-packaged foods. They are not commonly associated with whole foods or with plant-based foods.

Congratulations on your 90-pound weight loss! Most likely, you are now feeling much more energetic and exercising more each day. Since you have been so successful, and you have been eating plant-based whole foods, you must have been doing much of your own cooking.

I think you will like these websites to help you with webcasts, blogs, recipes, and nutritional information. Perhaps you have already seen them.

Sharon asks…

How come weight loss programs and dieting programs don’t work?

I’m currently doing an assignment for health class and the question is, well, the title of this question — “How come weight loss programs and dieting programs don’t work?” I mean things like Weight Watches, Jenney Craig, etc.
I’ve tried Google but nothing so far.
Thanks in advance!
Lol, Barbra, you helped a lot(: Thanks!

Reason being is because then they wont be as sucessful at sellin thier product!they want people to be fat and they know if there is somthing out there that works there goes thier bisness..cause ppl would do it lose it and leave it at that ..it would be no more money for all this bs thsey come up with!i think they make stuff to help you loose a little weight but then u will gain it all back and come back to ther product!cause u will think “while on jenny craig diet i lost weight” and u will go purchase whatever again to see a lil results…am i making any sence??lol just my opinion!!

Donald asks…

Does anyone know any good weight loss programs that are good for diabetics?

A friend of mine is interested in starting a weight–loss program, but is type 2 diabeties. She cannot handle any sugars whatsoever, and has to limit herself to VERY few carbs. With this being said, does any know, preferebly from experience, any good weightloss programs for diabetics? Something where the food can be ordered, such as NutriSystem, where you don’t have to go to the place to participate. Thanks in advanced~~! Links would be much appreciated,

weight loss cardiff answers:

The South Beach Diet is really good. Try to do this with her. It’s always nice to have somebody to diet with for support. You can also do Weight Watchers on the internet. Both are good.
