Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Jenny asks…

Can i lose weight running a mile a day and only eating fruit and vegetables?

Don’t say to eat lean meats because I can’t cook that… im desperate to lose weight I’ve been eating 1000 calories a day and running and I haven’t lost weight. So will only eating fruit and veggies work?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The problem with your course of nutrition at present is you are eating fruit which is sugar. Yes, it’s natural and healthy sugar (like an avocado is natural and healthy fat) but it is still sugar. Your body needs not only fruits (in moderation) and vegetables (which you can have as many as you like) but it needs protein. If you cannot cook lean meats (is that for religious or cultural issues, or is this a lack of experience in cooking?), then you should take a look at working with tofu. Tofu and tofu dishes/recipes have come a long way and you have plenty of options.

When you deplete your body of certain proteins and carbs, your body goes into a “survival mode” and as you can read about in the second URL that I’ve included, it can be dangerous to your health. Improper dieting will not only burn through fat but muscle as well. Crash diets like the one you are on now will only hurt you.

Be careful.

Hi I’m 5’5″-5’6″ and I weigh 155 lbs. I was just wondering what my calorie intake should be to lose weight?
I run 20 minutes a day and do a little p90x.

My goal weight is 130-140 lbs.

You should track how many calories you burn and take in slightly less than that google calorie burned calculator to figure things out

Chris asks…

does acai berry power 500 and total cleanse work?

I see these ads all over the internet and I guess Dr Oz reccomended it on Oprah. Have you tried it? Is it worth the money? Is there a certain diet plan you have to follow? I know there is no such thing as ‘miracle’ weight loss supplements I just wanna know if I spend the money will I actually see results?

weight loss cardiff answers:

This is a scam. I am not sure if the product works or not but don’t buy it from the online scam. It is NOT recommended by Oprah, despite the claims. I fell victim to the free trial claim, and within 2 weeks of ordering the free trials, my credit card was charged $80 a piece for each of those products! Canceling is not as easy as it seems, either, but after canceling the credit card I used and finally reaching the two separate companies I got it canceled.

Acai berries are really good for you, but go to a local health food store and buy some of the juice they sell there. Acai is already a natural cleanse so not sure if you really need the Total Cleanse product or not. I got them thinking it was only a trial and I had nothing to lose, but was wrong there. I do recommend the Acai berry, just don’t fall for the scam. 🙂

Ruth asks…

What’s the best way to drop a significant amount of fat within 2 weeks?

I’m going out with a girl in 2 weeks and want to drop some weight before then. I’m 6’1″, 265 lbs., 19 years old. My ultimate goal is to get to 225, but I’d be more than happy if I could get below 250 in 2 weeks. Any suggestions?
Also, I have two jobs, I already go to the gym 3 times a week, and I have been cutting back on what I eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

First of all, let’s go the National Institutes of Health site to check desirable weights for height. You can follow this by clicking on the first link below. A healthy BMI (body mass index) is between 18.5 and 24.9.

At six foot one, 265 pounds, your BMI is now 35.0.

In order to get to a BMI of 24.9, you need to get your weight down to 189.

That being said, don’t rush the weight loss. Crash diets fail in the long term, and can be very dangerous, sometimes leading to death. “Cardiologist Isadore Rosenfeld, MD, a professor of clinical medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City, and author of the forthcoming Doctor of the Heart: A Life in Medicine, opposes crash diets (less than 1,200 calories a day) and detox plans like the Master Cleanse.” Click on the second link below for more about crash diets.

The sensible thing to do is to limit your weight loss to two pounds per week. Even this modest weight loss goal isn’t easy. You must burn about 1000 more calories per day than you consume to make this two-pounds-per-week goal achievable.

In order to do this, you need to find some activity that you will stick with that burns a lot of calories. Running is excellent, but at your present weight, you will be putting a lot of stress on your knees and ankles. I would suggest swimming for about an hour a day. Try alternating sprints with lower paced swimming. Walking is good too, but you will need to do a lot of it to burn a lot of calories.

As far as diet is concerned, your first step should be to eliminate empty calories: fried fast foods, cakes, candy. Soda, donuts, and the like. Eat plants, not food made in plants.

All my best to you in your weight loss goals, but don’t rush it. It took you many years to get to your present weight. Don’t try to shed it in a few short weeks.

Nancy asks…

If I start diet pills will I gain the weight back when I stop?

I’m starting Slimquick today, but just realized I may have to take it for the rest of my life! I really don’t want that, so I need to know if I’ll gain all of the weight back that I lost when I quit the pills. Anyone know anything?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi,

I’ve tried so many different diets in the last 10 years that I can say now, they don’t work!
A few months ago, I came across a great product for weight loss (it’s actually a colon cleanse) and like many others I was skeptical about it. But I really wanted to lose weight and I tried it (it’s 100% natural). The results were excellent. I lost about 20 pounds in 2 months with this detox. That’s why I recommend you check this product at
http://www.easy-diet-fit.us where they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling.
Good luck!

Joseph asks…

How large a sample is needed to estimate the true proportion of children with good diets within 2% with 95%?

A federal report indicated that 27% of children ages 2 to 5 years had a good diet—an increase previous years. How large a sample is needed to estimate the true proportion of children with good diets within 2% with 95% confidence?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Sample size n is (t/b)^2 s^2, where t is critical value for conf. Level (here 1.96), b is margin of error
(here .02), and s^2 is variance in population (here p(1-p)=.27(.73)=.1971).

So n=(1.96/.02)^2 (.1971) = 1892.9, and round up to 1,893

Charles asks…

What are some amazing crash diets that work?

I am getting married in 3 months and been working out but need a stronger jumpstart, I read about crash diets but which actually work? I have no time to loose

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are times when you may need to lose weight fast. There are many crash diets formulated to help a person lose pounds as quickly and as effortlessly as possible. While this is not the best way to achieve a long-term weight loss goal, it can be useful when you need to fit into your wedding gown for the big day, or a bikini for the beach.

When you are on a crash diet, you should exercise as much as possible. An hour a day of physical exercise will help push your weight loss fast, plus it can make you feel energized. Just be careful not to overdo it, and stop if you feel sick, dizzy or faint.

Linda asks…

What are the most interesting diets people are looking information for?

I’m searching for the diets people are interested in but cannot find much information.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You’re just asking to be spammed with this question. Search for fad diets and see how many thousand come up. Atkins, Paleo/raw foods, South Beach, Master Cleanse, Special K/cereal, and 17-Day are ones I’ve seen here recently.

Charles asks…

What are the best machines to use at the gym for trying to lose weight?

Alright, I’m 5’6 and 190 lbs I want to start going to the gym. I’ve already lost 7lbs in the past 2 weeks by just doing my own thing, but I figure going to gym on a consistent basis will be better and will help me lose weight quicker… So are there any specific machines that I should use? I don’t want to try and gain muscle because that would be stupid. I just want to lose weight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Treadmill easily just keep working your way up on the treadmill and you WILL loose a lot of weight.

Mandy asks…

What crash diet and exercise can i do to lose weight quickly?

im 22 and weigh over 15stone im 5ft 5 and im a size 20. This is the fattest i have ever been and i feel so ugly and disgusting, i found a photo from when i was 19 and i looked so pretty on it i feel like im not that person anymore and feel like that its so unattainable to ever be that person again, ive always struggled with my weight but ive never been this fat. Im 23 in May and desperatley need to lose weight before this, although im not stupid and i know im not going to lose that much in that short a space of time. Ive been to all the slimming clubs and even the doctors but its not working, i used to make myself sick and really feel like im gonna do it again because i just dont lose weight quick enough on them, i cant afford to go to the gym and feel like people are laughing at the fat cow trying to lose weight if i go running then get puffed out after such a short space, i dont want to hear about crash diets are bad, i want to hear about crash diets that will give results.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You dont want to hear about crash diets that are bad? You said you weren’t stupid.

Yeah you will loose weight on a crash diet but as soon as you come off it you will put all the weight back on.

If you want to do it the sensible way(the only way that will work and be permenant) . You need to eat healthy food like fresh fruit and veg, carbs and protein. Don’t skip meals because it will only make you hungry and binge on bad foods. Eat one main meal of breakfast, lunch and dinner and if you feel hungry between those times snack of healthy snacks like fruit.

Never miss breakfast as it is the most important meal of the day and really sets you up for the day ahead. If you miss breakfast your body goes into starvation mode and hangs onto the fat and it will also make you binge later on.

Drinking lots of water helps keeps your energy levels up, makes your skin nice and clear, takes away bad mood swings, improves concentration and helps you loose weight.

Exercise is really important as it helps you burn calories. You sound unfit so if you start running you will get puffed out in a short pace of time.You need to get fit to be able to run. Start walking in the park for an hour and once you feel fitter start power walking( a form of fast walking) and gradually build up your fitness. Include walking into your daily life. Walk everywhere. Walk up the stairs to your flat instead of the lift, up the stairs at work/college/university, get off earlier on the bus etc.

You’re 23, you should be out enjoying yourself and feeling good about yourself. Its such a shame not to do anything about your weight if its making you so unhappy.

I know you said you went to the doctor about your weight, but how about going to the doctor and tell him/her that you have made yourself sick in the past and sometimes feel like doing it, maybe they can recommend you to a specialist.

Lots of people have been your weight and managed to loose weight, so it’s possible for you to do it to. Don’t give up whatever you do and if you end up binging on some bad food don’t beat yourself up about it, everyone has bad days.

Good luck! X

Ruth asks…

What is the fastest, most unhealthy way to lose weight?

Maybe not unhealthiest but quickest way, besides dieting and exercising which I already do. I know the risk I just need to know ways you or people you know lost weight quick in 3 or 4 mos. The most you’ve lost in a month or all together…again I do exercise daily and watch what I eat I’m just in major help to lose it quick quick.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Starve yourself, take diet pills (like yellow swarm or stacker) and do a lot of running. It will drop pounds fast but not be good for your body.
