How to lose weight in one mouth?

I have always been a little big for my age and i would love to lose some weight before school starts in a mouth, i always try to lose weight by going for walks. I would love to have some tips to keep myself going. And also if it would be easier to throw up once and awhile after eating. PLEASE HELP?

Step 1:This one is easy, to lose weight now, you must drink a minimum of 96 ounces of water every day. This will help you eat less and cleanse your body. Step 2:Replace your snacks with fruits and vegetables to lose weight now.Step 3:Exercise daily for at least 30 minutes, make it a date with your friend. Take a brisk walk or jog around the neighborhood. Play a game of basketball or tennis. Try to work towards 60 minutes daily. But, at least get exercise for 4 days of the week if you want to lose weight now – minimum.Step 4:Make a poster for motivation – add your ending weight goal and keep track of your weight loss progress each week.

What is the best way to lose a few pounds in two weeks?

I just want to look my best and do not want to do Master Cleanse. My co-worker and I tried it and couldn’t last the morning 🙂 I am 5’3″ and am 127 lbs, a little overweight. What are some small things I could do to look better in two weeks? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Okay…I only started two Mondays ago and All I do is walk one hour every morning. I wear a calorie counter monitor to loose weight by the numbers. I have already lost one pant size and 10 pounds. I am a woman and have three kids and this is the method I use when I gain weight.. I am now at a size two and everyone is always amazed that I have had three kids. This is what I do below when I throw on a few extra pounds. It always works..No diet pills, no energy drinks..just me walking and getting the water I need. Of course I watch what I eat and the Lean Cuisine meals are great for that since the calories per box are 180 to 380 per box. Just make sure you eat healthy every three to four hours so your body will perform at its max.

Here it is:

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) …and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn’t seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. The first time I did this I went from 168 to 127

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day

Maria asks…

Will a detoxing diet help you lose fat or just water weight?

If i go on a detoxing diet, i want to lose fat. So i will be working out for atleast an hour a day too. Detoxing diets seems like it only helps you lose water weight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to lose fat, why detox? Detox doesn’t work, never worked, is not possible, and never has been possible. You can lose fat simply by eating a healthy diet and cutting portions to create a caloric deficit. The detox myth is not about fat, it’s about some silly idea that you can purify your body.

There is no diet which will cause your body to get rid of toxins, heavy metals, poisonous by-products from smoking, drugs, etc. And cleanses for the purpose of weight loss don’t work because they can only eliminate water and small amounts of waste which the body will replace very quickly.

Check out the following references because you’ve probably been getting your information from unreliable sources.

“‘Cleansing’ diets may be worthless”

“A day on a detox diet program probably won’t hurt you, but there’s little point in following these restrictive diets – and they can do far more harm than good, says Michelle May, MD,”

“Detox diets are a waste of time and money, say scientists”
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article784402.ece

“The human body can defend itself very
well against most environmental insults and the effects of occasional indulgence. If you’re generally healthy, stick to giving your body what it needs to maintain its own detox system— a healthful diet, adequate fluid intake, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and all recommended medical check-ups. Don’t waste your money…follow a healthy, balanced lifestyle instead.”

You can find your own links debunking the detox diets, master cleanses, and other such nonsense by Googling “detox diet myth” or searching USA.gov for your appropriate key words.

The way to detox is to stop ingesting toxins and let your body cleanse itself naturally. If you have, for example, THC in your blood from smoking pot, there is no food, no flush, no purge, no cleanse that will make it go away. Your body will metabolize and excrete it naturally given sufficient time. The best diet for all normal adults hasn’t changed. It is still a varied, balanced, nutritious, and properly apportioned diet of high quality foods. Forget detox. If you want to burn fat, do this.

Eat a diet of varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about 500 calories less than your daily caloric burn while keeping your macronutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein) and not doing anything to defeat the foregoing plan such as taking supplements, drinking alcohol, abusing drugs, using cleanses or emetics, etc. That’s it. It’s that simple.

Here’s the only two websites you need to do that.
1. This site has a wide range of information about foods, fat, diets, and exercise with calculators, diet tips, food facts, etc. —> http://www.freedieting.com/

2. This website is a great way to track calories, macronutrients, water, and exercise. It also does all the math for you and makes it super easy to look up foods to enter into your online food intake diary. There’s a discussion forum where you can exchange info with thousands of other dieters. —>http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Laura asks…

Does weight lost from a fruit and veggie fast stay off?

I’m planning on doing a 5 day fruit and veggie fast, eating only fruits, veggies, organic sunflower and pumpkin seeds, organic raw almonds, organic apricots, water, baking soda and green tea. Trying to lose weight AND detoxify myself. Gonna exercise 1.5 hours average on the 5 days everyday. Will the weight lost stay lost or will it come back after I start eating normally?? thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well, one time wont hurt, not for weight loss purposes, but for your organizm cleanse. I’d say go for it, but dont do it again.

Sorry, but weight loss doesnt work that way… You lose muscle and tons of water NOT fat while eating that less. So it is big query will you be happy with the results… It will keep off like for 1- 2 lbs, but you will gain the rest, likely. You can try after those 5 days dont start to eat whatever you ate, but get in regime slowly. I mean dont eat crap for 5 days more (but eat lean meats, whole grain bread and do NOT undereat, just eat less that you would eat). So you body wont be shocked and keep off your pounds easier.

Donald asks…

How long should I do this colon cleanse?

I am going to start taking Yerba Prima Psyllium Whole Husks Colon Cleanser Powder. How long should I take it before stopping. I read that your should do a colon cleanse for about three days. Is that long enough? How do I know if I’ve cleansed my system enough to stop?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You read wrong. If you need to clean your colon it is because you have a medical problem and should be consulting with your physician and not YA. If you don’t have a medical problem, you shouldn’t be cleaning your colon because cleanses are bogus fads which do nothing worthwhile.

The problem with the internet is it is difficult to know what websites to trust. Especially in diet and fitness where there is no good proof and the US federal law tolerates all sorts of scams (eg: DHSEA1998), it is easy to be misled, scammed, and bilked. The way search engines work is to show you the most popular websites at the top and the least popular at the bottom…often buried in an mess of thousands of hits. And, popular does not mean good or true. It often means fad or trendy or mediocre or memetic or myth. And, is asking a bunch of strangers in YA really a good way to get information? Well, there are some excellent websites you CAN trust. They usually end in dot gov and contain some very heady scientific articles which are buried among other articles. The reason is the US government doesn’t have the time or money to debunk all the junk, bogus, and just plain bad information on the web. So, if you want the truth, you’re going to have to do your homework and dig for it. Here are some links to help you with your question.

Detox diets and cleanses are don’t work. There is no diet which will cause your body to get rid of toxins, heavy metals, poisonous by-products from smoking, drugs, etc. And cleanses for the purpose of weight loss don’t work because they can only eliminate water and small amounts of waste which the body will replace very quickly.

The way to detox is to stop ingesting toxins and let your body cleanse itself naturally. And cleanses, purges, emetics, enemas, etc. Cannot remove fat from your body or make your body lose fat. If fat is your problem, you’re eventually going to realize that nothing works except a proper diet for life or surgery. The best diet for all normal adults hasn’t changed. It is still a varied, balanced, nutritious, and properly apportioned diet of high quality foods.

With the help of the web and it’s instant global communication, it only took about a week for the Oprah/Oz acai myth to span the globe. So, one thing is certain. If there was an easy way to detox or lose fat through cleansing, the whole world would know about it very quickly. Why hasn’t that happened? Think about it.

Good luck and good health!!
