Question about fad diets?

There have been many fadi diets over the decades: high protein diets, liquid protein diets, low carb diets…etc. But why not a low protein or protein free diet?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The low protein diet esxists, but it is used for therapeutic purpouses. Protein contains 16% nitrogen which the body eliminates in the urine as urea. In cases where liver or kidney function is impaired, ammonia or toxic nitrogen metabolites may build up in the blood. These toxins contribute to kidney disease and may produce behavioral changes such as delusions, psychosis and hallucinations. The Low Protein Diet is designed to reduce these nitrogen metabolites and ammonia in individuals with toxic bowel, liver disease or kidney failure. In order to achieve these objectives, dietary protein must be limited to 0.6 gram/kg (2.2 lbs) of body weight or about 40 to 50 grams per day.

The Protein Restricted Diet is useful for the management of liver and chronic kidney diseases. For optimal results protein-rich foods should be consumed throughout the day rather than at one meal.

It wouldn’t so much work as a “loosing weight diet because of its negative sides. The Low Protein Diet is deficient in protein and can result in muscle wasting. This is a consequence of muscle protein being broken down to provide amino acids to the body for daily use. The result of this would be a general lowering of body metabolism, and piling up of weight when the diet is over. Moreover, substituting proteins with carb or fat-rich food, means an increased in the GI levels in the blood, increased production of insulin and, ultimately, more storage of fat. This diet may also be low in iron, calcium, thiamine (Vitamin B-1), riboflavin (Vitamin B-2), and niacin (Vitamin B-3) and so a nutritional supplement may be necessary to prevent deficiency.

David asks…

What is a hypoenergetic diet?

Can you define the term ‘hypoenergetic diet’ for me?

weight loss cardiff answers:

A hypoenergetic diet is a low energy diet. Not all diets are for fat loss. However, those which are designed to promote fat loss will ensure the dieter gets fewer calories per day then those burned. And, because calories are (a unit of) energy, a low cal diet is a low energy diet or a hypoenergetic diet. In other words, “hypoenergetic” is a low calorie diet and the word is used to distinguish between fat loss type diets and other types of diets. For example, a person who is underweight may opt for a hyPERenergetic diet while a person who is overweight will prefer a hyPO energetic diet.

Good luck and good health!!

sonoma diet safe?

Is the Sonoma diet safe?

Any good reviews of the Sonoma diet?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes it is safe. The sonoma diet consists of eating healthy nutritious food.

The Sonoma Diet was invented by Connie Guttersen. The Snoma ddiet is a low-carbohydrate diet / low sugar diet.The core of the diet plan is eating approved “power foods” that are healthy and intensely flavorful. Another key concept behind the diet program is managing portion sizes and eating approved foods.

The 10 power foods are: Almond, Bell peppers,Broccoli, Blueberries, Grapes, Olive oil, Spinach, Strawberries, Tomatoes and Whole grains.

The Sonoma Diet has three phases also called waves. The first phase lasts 10 days and is the most restrictive phase, allowing the smallest number of foods and the smallest portion sizes. During this phase carbohydrate and sugar consumption is greatly reduced.
In the second phase a wider variety of foods are allowed. You remain in Phase two until you achieve your target weight.

Phase three is the maintenance stage and you are allowed to eat a wider variety of foods.

More info on the Sonoma Diet can be found here:

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Thomas asks…

How to lose muscle / weight in 3 days?

In February, I am going away for 3 full days and I have a ballet school audition at the end of February. I need to take this chance to lose some muscle weight HEALTHILY.

About me on a daily basis:
– Consume about 1500-1600 calories. I try not to snack and keep it at 1200-1300 most days.
– 5’4
– 124lbs

1. Is it possible to lose 6-12 lbs in 3 days with healthy eating (not starving myself) and 2 hours of running per day?

2. How do we lose muscles in our calves? My calves are VERY big (muscular, not fat due to dance). My thighs are becoming muscular too. Are there any exercises good for losing calories and also leaning out your calf muscles?

3. What should I eat to reduce the production of muscles? I usually eat a lot of meat (haha meatarian). What works?

4. Have any of you tried HEALTHY diets before? Ones that won’t make you gain all your weight back right away (from your body being on starvation mode).

5. I am about 124lb and 5’4. What is the “average weight” for girls who are 5’4?

NOTE: I am a professional dancer so I can’t afford to be “average” in weight. I need to be slim in order to be a ballet dancer. That is why I really need to go on this diet before my audition.

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s possible to MAYBE lose 1 lb in 3 days…maybe (not counting water weight, but an actual pound of fat) if you consider most people on a healthy eating and exercise plan can lose up to 3 lbs/wk safely..

Six pounds should take you at least 2 wks (or more) and 12 lbs at least a month (or more)…anything faster than 3 lbs/wk indicates an unhealthy method and also means the weight is unlikely to stay off long term….

Sandra asks…

How can i lose weight in 3-5 days?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Eat 1400 calories a day and exercise. Do not eat junk food. Hydrate.

Chris asks…

Do you need insurance to get weight loss surgery such as the lap band or gastric bypass?

I have been overweight since I had my children 14 months apart. I never had problems with my weight before this and my metabolism has slowed down. I have tried many weight loss programs and nothing seems to work. I never lose more that 20 pounds or so. So I have been considering weight loss surgery, probably the lap band. I was wondering if having insurance was a requirement or if you can pay completely out of pocket for something like this?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You can always pay out of pocket for any medical procedure.

If you have good credit, many doctors will let you make payment plans as well. Otherwise, you have to pay in full at the time of service.

Laura asks…

I am looking for a weight loss program?

I am looking for a weight loss program because I have recently put on some weight in the last year, and I see A LOT of different programs, but I was hoping someone might have some good places to start. Thanks in advance

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi. There.

I actually recently ran into this issue; mainly because I will be 43 soon, and I’ve been drinking a lot of beer cuz my life sucks.

Anyway, I have had two major neck fusions with a titanium plate from c3-c7 that didn’t take, plus a major back fix and fuse with 2 bars that also got botched.

I can’t do a lot of the normal stuff, and haven’t ran since 1990, about 1 year before I got out of the Army.

There are many resources for a good weight loss program, but what really helped me lose about 20 lbs fast was this site: http://topweightlossprogram.info/

I lost like 20 pounds with exercises that even I can do with my physical limitations! It’s an awesome feeling!

Hope it’s as helpful to you as it was me.

Maria asks…

Is there a creative way to lose weight fast for a 13 year old girl?

I’m 13 , I weight 156.53 pounds , I’m 5 feet and I hate exercising I get bored so easily so I would like to know if there’s any other easy creative way to lose weight pleaseeeee help.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Discover your dietary point of preference. If you work hard to control your weight, you may get pleasure from your appearance, but you may also feel sorry for yourself each time you forgo a favorite food. There is a balance to be struck between the immediate gratification of indulgent foods and the long-term pleasure of maintaining a desirable weight and good health. When you have that balance worked out, you have identified your own personal dietary pleasure “point of preference.” This is where you want to stay.

Helen asks…

How do you keep your metabolism going when fasting?

I have been eating right and working out but i’m really struggling to lose weight. I only need to lose about 17 pounds but it just won’t come off. I have fasted before in the past for 2-3 weeks and it really helped me to lose weight but the only thing is that after I was done fasting I started eating a lot of junk food and put back on all the weight, if not more…I think that since I fasted it slowed down my metabolism a lot because I used to be able to lose weight very easily and now that i’m working hard it’s just not coming off…

Is there a way to fast and still have a good metabolism?

Thank you
