Diet tips to lose weight fast?

Diet tips too lose weight fast?(: please!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Before saying fast weight loss tips, I have to say one thing to you.
Generally 2 pounds of weight loss in a week has to be considered as healthy weight loss. There are so many extreme weight loss methods for fast weight loss but it’s unhealthy to lose huge amount of weight in such short period of time. Here you didn’t deliver any of your weight loss goals in terms of amount of pounds which you need to loss and in how many days you want to cut those pounds?
Here you may go through this, I hope it might be helpful to you.

Lizzie asks…

whats the best diets to lose weight fast!?

i need some good diet plans to lose weight fast. whats the best way?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You just have to take it one day at a time, and don’t give up! It takes a while to lose weight, but in the end, it’s worth it. Trust me, if losing weight was easy, we’d all be thin. You’re going to have to be committed to this goal.

DO NOT starve yourself by going on a crash diet. It doesn’t work, believe me! Sure, you lose weight, but you also lose hair and your ability to have kids in the future. Then once you do actually eat something, it turns directly to FAT because your body is trying desperately to store excess calories & food for energy because it thinks that its starving – And you end up gaining everything you lost, and then some!

Try eating more fruits and veggies in place of other fatty meals, like junk food, cookies, or high calorie meals. Like most people (I’m guilty sometimes!), you’ve probably brainwashed yourself into thinking that fast food tastes better than healthy food, but that’s not entirely true! Try eating more grapes, clemintines, apples chunks in vanilla yogurt (good for sweet cravings!), blueberries, hummus (it sounds gross but it’s really not, especially with Wheat Thins or Food Should Taste Good brand whole grain chips! I personally like garden vegetable or tomato flavored), granola, low-fat yogurt, low-fat string cheese, LITE brand whole wheat bread, 100 – calorie popcorn / kettle corn bags, steamed broccoli with a buttery garlic sauce, microwavable veggies etc. I also snack on South Beach Diet oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, they’re good AND pretty healthy!

And eat SLOWLY. Take one bite at a time, chew completely, then take another bite. If you eat slower, you’ll become fuller quicker, and you won’t overeat. Drink a glass of water before each meal – You’ll feel fuller faster and won’t overindulge. Try to spread your meals out so that you’re eating 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day – It keeps your metabolism up to speed. Try bringing a sandwich or a bag of fruits with you to class, or eat in between classes at your locker.

Incorporate more exercise into your daily life. Take the dog for a 20 minute walk, do jumping jacks while watching TV, do laps around the block, or the house for that matter. Don’t let yourself sit down for too long. If you can, get a gym membership. I use an elliptical for 30 minutes 5-6 times a week and it works great for me.

And don’t eat out of boredom! It’s a nasty habit to break, TRUST ME. Whenever you feel like eating, watch a movie with no commercial breaks so you don’t have time to get up, call a friend, read a book or magazine, or get out of the house, away from the food.

And don’t “DIET”. Because the moment you go off your “diet”, you’ll regain the all the weight you lost quickly, believe me. Instead, make “healthy living choices.”

I recently lost weight, about 20 lbs, and what really helped for me was planning my meals. I planned when and what I was going to eat, and made sure the calorie count was 1400. But never go under 1200! Remember, healthy weight loss is about 2-3 lbs a week. Whatever you do, don’t let yourself stray from your plan. Write it all down or type it out and leave it up on your computer so you don’t forget, that’s what I do.

You’ll never get to your “ideal” body by eating crap food and sitting around, no matter how much you want it to happen. It takes dedication to get the body you want! Make it like a game. How much weight can I lose? Prove it to yourself you DO have the willpower to get what you want.

But allow yourself a cheat day every now and then. Life is too short! If you restrict your body of all the “good foods”, you will one day EXPLODE and eat everything in sight. Trust me!

One more thing: Once you do become thinner, DON’T think you can eat whatever you want now! You’ll regain all the weight back, which is absolutely mortifying, especially after all the hard work to lose it.

Good luck! Hope that helps (:

OH, and sitting up straight burns more calories than slouching. Try it!

Any more questions, email me (:

Thomas asks…

What is the best diet to lose weight fast?

I suffer from depression as I’m unhappy with my weight. I need to start a diet and cardio/ exercise .

Can someone tell me a diet that works and it really sheds the pounds. I have a sweat suite that I can also wear . Thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

One of the healthiest weight loss diets is the DASH diet.

The healthy DASH diet can help you lose weight safely and effectively, lower your cholesterol and lower your blood pressure.

It is based on an eating plan rich in fruits and vegetables, and low-fat or non-fat dairy, with whole grains. It is a high fiber, low to moderate fat diet, and is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium.

You can see further details in a web search for “dash diet” + “lose weight”.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

William asks…

What diet do you recommend for someone who’s sensitive to carbs and want’s to maintain weight loss?

So if someone, who’s insulin resistant, can lose alot of weight on atkins induction but has trouble keeping the weight off (maintenance) with atkins, what diet do you recommend that person to maintain the weight loss after induction?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Are you saying you can lose weight at 20g net carbs but gain weight at 25g net carbs???

I am insulin resistant & have thyroid dysfunctions so it’s almost impossible to lose weight without thyroid meds but I maintained my weight for 10 years on appx 50g net carbs daily (& even lost weight at 50g with thyroid meds) I could even maintain my weight on higher levels but 50g was more than sufficient with low carb foods.

I know we are all different but something is not adding up. Is your dietary fat >65% of total calories? Are protein levels 80% of total calories from dietary fats.

Jimmy Moore is very carb sensitive & at 410# lost 180# in a year low carbing but with carb creep, frankenfoods, & even though he maintained a low carb lifestyle, he regained 80# several years later. He started what is coined “Fatkins” (>80% calories from dietary fats) & has now lost the weight & is now smaller than ever.

Http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/jimmy-moores-n1-experiments-nutritional-ketosis-day-331-360/18365

>80% of total calories from dietary fats should allow even someone highly sensitive to carbs to lose weight.

Ken asks…

What food supplement would you recommend for weight loss?

I’m working on a new blog post and I’d like the community’s opinion on weight loss supplements.

What food supplements have you tried before and how effective were they? Inquiring minds want to know. 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Beans!
The favorite right now with the cold weather is 15 bean soup.
One cup a day is over 100% of RDA of soluble fiber. Binds to fatty acids similar to the way Alli diet pills work. For about 25¢ a day.
Yes you get a bit gassy at first but after building up the good bacteria in the large intestine it tapers off. Great source of protein, iron, and calcium. And keeps you regular.
Also act as a complex carb so they make you feel full longer.
Spice them up with chili and garlic powder, black pepper and onions and diced tomatoes and the spices help increase metabolic rate.
There you go!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes you can, I am over 50 and discovered the secret in burning fat and permanently losing all my unwanted fat!

Here are some of my secrets that really work!

1) Stay away from “Junk” Foods: Sugar and processed foods are horrible if you are trying to burn fat off your body. White Flour, Wheat, and Dairy, may not consider junk, but you will also struggle losing weight eating these types of foods. Just by eliminating these foods alone (until you get rid of all your unwanted fat), you will automatically see a drastic drop in weight and will instantly feel more energetic throughout the day. (I know, those ingredients are in every food we like eating, but just try eliminating them for a couple weeks and you will be shocked on how much weight you will lose. )
The best diet is going to be one that you can stick to (for more than just a week), one that includes delicious food and one you are happy with, not to mention one that you can maintain for a lifetime. Find the healthy foods you enjoy and get creative with those.  I have found an incredible amount of delicious food options at http://www.immunesystemremedies.com/weight-loss-ecourse.html

The best fat burning diet is simple, and focuses on whole, natural foods such as fruits and vegetables, raw nuts, slightly more protein than usual, and sources of healthy fats.
One of the most important things you need to do is simply eat fewer calories than you need and you should always focus on improving the quality of your diet, so eat more fruits and vegetables and raw nuts.

2) Increase Your Metabolism with the right kind of exercise: The fastest and most efficient way to rev up your metabolism, burn fat faster, and develop lifelong health and fitness is to add lean muscle to your body through resistance training. (i.e. Weight lifting) When you add lean muscle to your body you’ll be literally turning your body into a fat burning machine!
Incorporate both a good strength training routine and interval cardio routine to your workout regimen. Don’t just do one all the time. Your body needs muscle to keep your metabolism high, and it also needs cardio to keep your heart strong, so find a good balance between the two. Incorporate a strength training and cardio routine that focuses on whole body movements. Keep your body moving through the whole resistant and interval training workout and you’ll accelerate the fat burning process more quickly.

3) Only drink water, NOTHING else!  Eliminating all sugar drinks, “diet” drinks and sodas will automatically cause a dramatic weight loss.
Water assists the liver in converting stored fat into usable energy, which is vital to permanent weight loss. But when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get “rubbery” and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it’s harder to lose when you don’t drink your water.
Increasing water intake naturally speeds up metabolism and allows the body to better assimilate nutrients from the foods and nutritional supplements we consume.
Water is also natural appetite suppressant, so if you get hungry, did some water.

Drink a minimum of 1/2 of your bodyweight in ounces of water each day (ex. If you weigh 200 lbs, you need to drink 100 ounces) to really see the fat fall off.

4) Do not go hungry nor Starve yourself
Another very common mistake I see is people starving themselves in an effort to lose weight quickly.  The truth is you do not need to feel hunger in order to effectively lose weight.  Actually, the contrary is true.  You must Eat consistently throughout the day and give your body enough nourishment (good nourishment, that is) in order to see weight loss results.  Make sure to feed your body consistently throughout the day.  Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all important but so are snacks in between.  Munching on things like raw nuts, fresh fruits and healthy trail mixes can really keep you from experiencing any hunger throughout the day and help control any cravings that may come up.

5) Add lemon to your water. Lemon is a wonderful detoxifier to the liver. And since the liver is your “fat burning” organ, we want it always working at optimum. Keep your liver squeeky clean, by not only eliminating processed foods and toxic substances from your eating plan but also by giving it a good cleaning with some fresh lemon. You can also add some cayenne pepper to your drink as well and that will help to get your bowels moving (if the food is not finding its way out, weight loss will be much slower).

6) Eat your fruit servings before 4pm. Again, another wonderful food group that I am in no way saying is “bad” but you may see increased fat loss results by eating your fruit with breakfast, mid morning snack and lunch and then sticking to veggies for your mid afternoon snack and dinner. Raw carrots and peppers are great with almond butter in the afternoon and a piece of steak or salmon over sautéed greens and a side salad is a great dinner. You will then sti

Ruth asks…

How many calories should a 5’9, 23 year old man consume? Concerned about boyfriend?

How many calories should a 5’9, 23 year old man consume? My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost five months wants to lose weight. He eats one meal a day or sometimes nothing at all. I’m concerned about him. I used to have an eating disorder, too, when I was 14.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well, it depends upon his activity level and overall fitness level, but I can assure you that eating one or zero meals per day will not help him lose weight, and may make him pretty sick. In fact, the body needs fuel to burn calories and that fuel comes in the form of, you guessed it, CALORIES! So, he is defintely eating too little to efficiently burn calories and lose weight. Think about it: You wouldn’t let your car go without gas, would you? It would break down if its tank was empty. Well, the same goes for the human body because IT will break down as well if it is not properly feuled, yet people seem to care more about their cars getting properly nurished than their own bodies.
A body that is malnurished or has entered starvation will lose weight because it is effectively wasting away and feeding off of itself. However, in order to lose weight in a healthy way, you need to actually eat MORE, but in a nutritious way.
Your boyfriend needs to see what his over fitness goals are and then eat accordingly. I can sit here and say what a healthy diet is, but that is subject to his fitness desires. You can easily find out what TYPES of food he should be eating based on what he hopes to achieve.
That said, a 23 year old man can easily comsume upwards of 2,500 calories per day. The 2,000 calorie diet is an approximate guideline for most adults, but a 23-year old still has a pretty fast metabolism and if he is somewhat active (gym, sports, etc), then he actually needs more calories. Just make sure the calories don’t come from cheeseburgers (at least not too often), but from healthier, less fattening foods, and he should lose some weight.

Linda asks…

What are good excersizes to burn a lot of calories and fat?

I have been doing the treadmill each night on 5 miles per hour for 40-60 minutes. I don’t know if it is working effectively to get the fat off my stomach and thighs. Are their easy ways to get rid of belly, leg, and arm flab. I’m not fat but it’s still a bit jiggly. I need to know ways to lose and burn calories effectively and easily! HELP!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Jogging an hour a day is a good thing and burns a substantial number of calories, but its not going to remake your body overnight, and its not enough all by itself to make much difference in your weight. You still need to watch the food intake.

If you want to lose weight via exercise without counting calories, you’ll need to double or triple your training volume (time spent exercising)

P.S. There is no way to target fat on specific parts of your body. Fat is stored fuel and gets used up more or less evenly from all over.

Sandy asks…

What would be a good weight-loss workout for a 20 yr old female?

I broke my hip in a car accident about 4 years ago and it tends to be a little sore so I would like some advice on exercises that would help me lose weight, with out added stress to my hip.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Seemingly everyone is trying to lose weight these days using a wide variety of diet and exercise strategies. Although men and women have the goal of weight loss very much in common, they also have quite different needs when it comes to achieving results. Since you are female and you will not be able to do all the exercises due to your sore hip, here is some useful info.

To begin with, the metabolism of a woman is very different from that of a man. Men have higher levels of testosterone (and other hormones) as well as more muscle and less body fat than women. Because of this, women have a much harder time losing weight because they have naturally higher levels of body fat and hormones (such as estrogen) which make the storage of bodyfat even easier. Overall, the only way to lose weight if you are a woman is to eat less food than a man, but exactly how much?

The best place to start is by figuring out exactly how much you want to weigh and then determine how many calories you will need to eat to achieve that weight. The basic rule of weight loss is to burn off more calories than you consume so no matter what your starting weight is you will need to create a deficit either by eating less or exercising more.

Once you know exactly how many calories you need to eat, the next step will be to figure out what types of foods work best for you. A good rule of thumb is to always try and eat as many healthy natural foods as you can. Additionally, you will want to ensure that your portion sizes are under control. Many women are very surprised when they discover how small a proper portion size is, so in the beginning you will likely have to pay close attention.

After you have modified your eating habits, the next step will be to begin a regular exercise routine. Most women that are new to dieting and weight loss get intimidated by the idea of a complicated exercise program. If this sounds like you, why not start with something as simple as walking? Walking burns off a considerable amount of calories and exercises the entire body. After you have built up some strength and stamina you may want to consider adding additional forms of exercise, such as Pilates or yoga.

Although weight loss for women can be very difficult, keep in mind that the most important determining factor in your success will be perseverance. Try block out the unrealistic images of the female body that are portrayed in pop culture all around us. Stay focused on yourself and you are very likely to achieve your goals of weight loss and greater health.
Good luck and hope I helped!

Mandy asks…

What’s the easiest ways to lose stomach thigh and back fat?

I want to lose It before I got back to school in September. I know I won’t lose all of it but at least enough for a real noticeable difference in my weight loss. I want to lose my thigh and stomach fat and back. What’s the easiest way to lose this within 2 months

weight loss cardiff answers:

I would like share 3 simple exercises to lose belly fat quickly at home. If you ask me what is the fastest way to lose weight and how to lose abdominal fat, I will surely recommend these 3 simple exercises :

1) Sit Ups

Yes, sit ups. People have been saying that sit ups are useless because you cannot get the maximum effect. However, this is because they have done something wrongly. One major reason if because after doing sit ups, they do not stretch their stomach muscle as well as go for a 15 minute jog or walk. After doing sit ups, it is very easy to lose weight and belly fat by walking or jogging.

2) Leg Raise

Among all the exercises to lose belly fat, I will highly recommend you to do leg raise because it can lose the lower stomach fat. It is very effective when combines with sit ups because sit ups will burn the upper stomach fat while leg raise will help you to lose the lower belly fat.

3) Jogging

As what I have said just now, jogging or walking for about 15-30minutes after doing the above workouts will give you the maximum effect. Walking to lose weight after doing the above workouts is very effective because your body have been stimulated to burn more energy at the stomach and the energy is converted from your belly fat. So, you can lose your belly fat, effectively.

Hope that you can follow the exercises above, it is very easy and only takes less than 1 hour commitment every alternate day. Besides working out, you will also need to have a balanced diet. I will recommend Calorie Shifting diet.
