Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

David asks…

How much exercise should I do everyday?

So, I have got about 40 pounds to lose. I am currently on South Beach, and planning to start Zumba at home as I have heard great things about it. I also have easy access to the gym. I am wondering how often, and how much I should be working out. I am able to exercise everyday of the week, although I do not know if that’s such a good thing. Also, for weight–loss, what time of the day do you think exercise works best? Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

It depends on your goals. Do you want to get more fit? Do you just want to maintain your current fitness level? How fit are you now?

If you are very inactive and unfit, start off slowly. Do 20-30 minutes, four days a week. Be careful not to strain, and always warm up first.

If you are currently somewhat active and looking to improve your fitness, go for at least 30 minutes, five or six days a week. Then you can gradually increase it if you wish to become very fit. A very fit person would be putting in at least six hours per week.

You should include all components of fitness- cardio, strength, and flexibility.
So, for example, you could walk, bike or run 3 days a week and do weight training and stretching the other three. Never train the same muscles with weights two days in a row.

Ruth asks…

When cycling for weight loss, is it better to bike for longest distance or longest pace/time?

Just wanting to see what is best for someone wanting to use cycling as a form of weight loss.

Goal wise I’m pretty sure both are what I need to be doing, but answers from seasoned pros are most welcome.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Cycling is a cardiovascular sport and you determine how much time and effort you put into it. You want to start out with an easy 10 min warm up ride. That will help prevent muscle pain and allow you to ride longer. After the warm up you want to pedal at a high cadence 70-90 rpm’s in a gear that is easy to spin. That will use you slow twitch muscles that use fat as a fuel and can go for a very long time. Pedaling slower then 70 rpm’s and mashing on the pedals will wear out your legs very quickly. You want a pace that you can do for a long time but hard enough to get your breathing elevated.

Start out with 20-30 min rides and work your way up to a hour or more. Once you can go for a hour start climbing hills to get stronger. You can also do intervals where you can go fast for 30-90 seconds and then slow down to recover. Once you catch your breath do it again. It will help you build more muscle so you can burn more calories even at rest.

You wont get anywhere without a good diet plan. You burn only 35 calories per mile so the more miles you can do in a hour the faster you will lose weight. At slow speeds cycling burns less calories then walking. A cheeseburger, large fries, and a large coke can take 40 miles to burn off.

You need a good plan and stick with it, it will take a few weeks before you see decent results.

Lisa asks…

How do I get enough motivation to stick to a diet and lose weight?

I know more about weight loss, healthy diet and everything that goes with it than most dieticians, but I just can’t seem to get the mindset that will allow me to start and then stick to an eating plan.

I have lost weight a number of times before – 35kg once, but my motivation just isn’t there now.

How do I get it back? And keep it!

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you set goals, I think it makes it a loooot easier.
Think about if you have any specific events coming
up, like a wedding, parties, event, etc. Then you can
set a goal of about 2 pounds each week. If you keep
telling yourself that you can do it, and start seeing
results, you will ultimately have the drive to continue
working your way to optimal health.

Take Care and Good Luck (: (:

John asks…

Lemonade Diet Recipe?

Does anyone know the lemonade diet recipe?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here’s the details of how this diet works:

1. Create real lemonade from the juice of lemons. If you try using bottled lemon juice – or worse: Instant powdered lemonade drink, you will not see any progress. The powdered stuff is usually just lemon flavored sugar water, and the bottled juice often has preservatives and other misc stuff included that’s not great for your body.

So squeeze some real lemons, or use a juice machine. Either way, make sure you’re using fresh lemon juice.

2. Mix in organic maple syrup to taste. This is used for sweetener, but it also provides you with additional vitamins and minerals to help keep you healthy during your juice fast. It also helps keep your blood sugar from dropping too low.

Since this is a form of sugar though, it should be used cautiously – especially by diabetics. Too much of any kind of sugar will prevent you from losing weight.

3. Mix in water to taste. Straight lemon juice by itself is way too tart for most of us, no matter how much syrup might be mixed in. It’s usually a good idea to use filtered or spring water here, to be sure you’re not feeding your body all the junk and pollutants that come from our taps….http://www.squidoo.com/Lemonade-Diet-Recipe

Daniel asks…

How to lose weight in 3 weeks?

I have school and I need to lose weight before school starts back

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight is frustrating. It’s tough to find a diet that actually works when most of the companies behind them don’t want you to lose weight at all. Because if you actually lose weight and keep it off, they lose a customer. But now there are weight loss solutions that are available that will help you to lose weight permanently without having to give up your favorite foods, do excessive exercise, or damage your body by denying it the fats, calories, carbohydrates and nutrition you need to function. You’ll lose weight fast the right way and keep the weight off for good. You’ll look and feel your best with a slim and firm waist line. You’ll turn heads, and get the attention you never imagined.

Mary asks…

The Risks of Losing Weight? Please Help?

Hey guys, recently I’ve chosen to lose weight, I want to lose 30-40 lbs so I can be around 120 lbs. But if I do lose weight, will my strength be gone? Strength as in being able to pick heavy stuff up and in rare cases hit people; self defense. I don’t want to lose weight if that means losing strength as well and becoming weak. Will I lose strength if I lose weight?

Lisa asks…

How do I lose weight fast?

I want to lose about forty pounds. Is there anyway I can lose the weight fast?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight fast is not a good idea. Weight lost that way generally piles back on afterwards. There is no magic about losing weight: eat sensibly (check out the many websites on ‘healthy eating plans’); exercise more, by, for example, cycling, swimming, brisk walking. Another tip is to drink water throughout the day. This is extremely helpful for keeping your system well and for making you feel fuller, especially if you drink water before main meals. Don’t call your eating regime a ‘diet’, this can put you at a psychological disadvantage. I think you will be surprised at how the weight will come off, if you stick to your plan. You would probably lose a good bit of weight for the first couple of weeks and then expect it come off at about the rate of 2lbs per week, which is the recommended regular weight loss.

What’s a good weight loss supplement to use based in the uk and is also cheap?

I want to find a good weight loss supplement to use when I am working out to help me lose weight and also gain muscle. Please help… The cheapness isn’t a priority btw

weight loss cardiff answers:

No diet pills can help you lose weight, only temporary perhaps and its unhealthy for the liver and kidneys.

I suggest going to natural exercise, but in my case, i cant do strainous activities so im using this device called aurislim which is an earring you wear and causes weight loss simply by wearing it for 3 hours a day.

Lizzie asks…

What is the best most effective colon cleanse weight loss supplement ?

I always hear of new colon cleansers everywhere I turn, and I want to know where I a could order a free smaple of a colon cleanser online without wasting my time. Also, how are you supposed to use colon cleanser as a weight loss supplement?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You will definitely lose weight. But it is only the weight of undigested food and waste, not any stored body fat. And it will just be replaced.
Gastroenterologists repeatedly state this “mucoid plague” promoted by non medical practitioners does not exist. They have yet to find any during a colonoscopy.
The best way to cleanse and detox is to stop eating and drinking processed and refined foods.
Get hold of a liver. Oh, you have one? Great.
Now just stand there and let it detoxify your body. Partner it with some kidneys and you’ve got the most efficient body cleanse and detox system known to man.
There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn’t absorb nutrients. The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
Detoxing is ridding the system – liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Our liver and kidneys aren’t clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead. The liver does in fact get layered with fat if we become overweight.
We “cleanse and detox” naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, kidneys, urine, and feces.
We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal processed and refined foods. They are loaded with additives, concentrates, and preservatives mostly in added sugars and salts.
Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, lean meat cuts, fresh fish, beans, peas, brown rice, raw nuts, and barley keep a system as healthy and as clean as it can be.
Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
Read food labels. If you can’t pronounce it, don’t put it in your body.
A healthy high fiber diet of whole fresh foods works every time. Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both normal internal and environmental toxins.
Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
Search “gut flora” to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!
The digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system health.
Spend your money in the produce department to speed your cleanse.
Good luck and good health.

Betty asks…

What is the best weight loss supplement?

I have been working on losing weight to become healthy. I have started a very nice exercise and diet plan (i.e. lifestyle change). I have lost 20 pounds so far. However, I would like to speed that process up or at least give it a push, especially with the holidays coming around. What is the best weight loss supplement out there that will give me a boost in my efforts? Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m sure you’ve heard of the thermogenics like Hydroxycut. I used to work at GNC and Hydroxycut Hardcore was our #1 seller by far. The other forms of Hydrodxycut were not far behind. If you already have diet and exercise down, I’d add a thermogenic.

If a thermogenic does not interest you, perhaps a healthy, natural supplementation would suffice. You should add the following to your regimen:

-A 7 day (or more) detoxification program
-GNC Lean Shake
-CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)

The detox alone will cleanse out your system (should be taken twice annually) and the Lean Shake is a protein powder with 8 grams of fiber per serving, keeping you full and less hungry longer. The CLA is taken by just about all bodybuilders when they are trying to lose weight. It literally turns your fat into energy, but not over night or even in a week like a thermogenic. CLA is a long term use and is very healthy for you. Here are the links for the Detox, Lean Shake, and CLA

Lean Shake — http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2446663&relatedPids=true

Detox — http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2166844

CLA (Tonalin or Thermo CLA recommended) — http://www.gnc.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=cla&origkw=cla&sr=1
