How can I lose a little weight easily?

I want to lose a little weight, and my mom won’t give me any money for anything like weights and stuff. I can’t go outside because it’s really cold and I don’t want to really diet. I eat kinda healthy and I do have P.E. in school but it will soon be over. How can I lose weight quickly and without starving myself. If you don’t know please don’t make any stupid comments. P.S. – I’m trying to lose between 10-12 pounds. Thanks:)

Laura asks…

How can I lose a lot of weight easily?

Hi I’m 13 and I have been trying to get rid of my fat I’m 158 and I am 5’3 , my Bm is around 73 and I really want to lose 20-25 pounds within a few months. Is this possible and if it is how do I without counting stupid calories, can I just workout hard eat healthy foods and drink water and lose weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The answer to your question is yes, you can work out hard and eat healthy foods to lose weight.

What I recommend is first figuring out how many calories you should be eating per day to lose 2 pounds per week. This is the safe amount of weight you can lose per week while dieting and exercising.

After you figure out how much you should be eating in calories then start eating healthier foods and don’t consume past the amount of calories you should be eating.

Then start exercising. If you don’t want to go to the gym there is many free resources such as http://sweatn.com that will let you work out from home for free.

Lastly, stay dedicated. Losing weight is not an easy task. It all comes down to dedication and discipline. The only one that can do it is you, so you have to believe in yourself. For some people reading a inspiration quote everyday helps them, others focusing on the long term goal of being who they want to be / looking how they want to look is enough.

Sounds like you already know the recipe, so it’s time to dedicate yourself.

Good luck!

9 WAYS TO REDUCE WEIGHT WITHOUT EATING LESS

( ! ) Don’t starve yourself.

Lowering your calorie intake will make your body reduce the rate at which it changes calories into energy. In other words, reducing calorie intake slows down your metabolism and holds onto your fat. Starving yourself will actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Food is fuel or energy and when you skip meals, you are not working on energy hat can be burned off. As a defense mechanism, your body clings to calories and slows down your weight loss.

(2) Get a breakfast boost.

Connie Dickman, a registered dietician and nutritionist advises not to skip breakfast. According to her, breakfast gives you energy so that you are not starving as the day go on. When you skip breakfast, you become so hungry that you eat more than you should or eat the wrong foods.

(3) Eat complex carbohydrates.

Practice eating complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are found in food such as candy, cereal, softdrinks and ice cream. They are easily absorbed by the body and they stick to the ribs, according to weight loss specialist Dr. Daisy Merey. Simple carbohydrates have a tendency to make you store more fat.

On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are found in pastas, potatoes, beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits contain “good” calories that are easily burned.. In switching from a meat-based diet to the one tat is starch-based, you get the same amount of food with only 25% of the calories, says John McDougall, M.D., Director of the McDougall Program at St. Helena Hospital.

Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are high in complex carbohydrates. You will eat more, but you will lose more, because the feeling of fullness will hinder you from eating high-fat foods that make you gain weight.

(4) Eat Fiber.

Kristine Clark, the Director of Sports Nutrition at Penn State University says that eating high-fiber foods can help people keep their weight under control. Because foods hat are rich in fiber help people to slow down their eating and foods that are high in fiber contain less fat and sugar.

According to Nutrition experts, one should eat 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber a day. There are two kinds of fiber in foods. The soluble and the insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve and thicken in water. Foods that contain soluble fibers include broccoli, zucchini, barley, oat bran, beans and citrus fruits.

Insoluble fibers include skins of fruits and vegetables and the external coatings of wheat kernel.

Fiber is an essential ingredient in one’s diet because the insoluble form prevents constipation. Studies revealed that the soluble fibers play an important role in reducing cholesterol.

(5) Drink water.

Water helps the body break down fat and process waste according to Dr. Denise Bruner, a Virginia bariatrician, describing how water as part of her diet, helped her to shed 62 pounds. One should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day.

(6) Exercise and be active in household work.

T o exercise is one of the best ways to maintain your weight down. Exercise helps you to burn calories. According to Franca Alphin, Nutrition Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in North Carolina, “You can lose weight without exercising, but you won’t maintain the weight loss.” Exercise may not be a major player in weight loss, but it is the number one player in preventing weight gain,” says Jack H. Gilmore, Ph. D.

Inactivity burns fewer calories each day, which are stored as fat. Daniel Kosich, Ph. D., the author of Get Real: A Personal Guide to Real-Life Weight Management and an advisor to Jane Fonda Workouts, says regular activity is a critical part of successful weight loss. It doesn’t have to be a strenuous workout. You can burn calories just by doing ordinary chores such as gardening and housework. “Pushing a mop or vacuum across the floor increases your heart rate and creates resistance ,” says Barbara Baldwin, Information Services Director for the American Running and Fitness Association in Maryland.

“Raking leaves, stroveling snow, sanding, painting and waxing the car are calorie burners.”

According to Laura Gladwin, California-based exercise physiologist, gardening is a great exercise because weeding, pruning and planting require bending and stretching. “You will burn 1,000 calories by doing three-and-a-half hours of garden or yard work in a week,” she says.

Ellen F., a crafter in Coral Springs, Fl, found out that dieting wasn’t enough to help her shed 20 pounds of excess weight.. She joined a low-impact aerobics class at her community center. By doing aerobics excercises for an hour, three times a week, she lost 20 pounds much quicker than simply dieting.

Walking is one of the healthiest, easiest and cheapest form of exercise. Stroll briskly through a park or around your neighborhood. Walking will be more pleasurable if you do it with a friend..

Suzanne Rossa, an exercise physiologist at Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center in West Palm Beach Florida says, “Aerobics excercises improves your circulation , increases blood flow,allow you to have a better blood pressure and decreases the amount of fatty substances in your bloodstream.”

(7) Build muscle.

Tufts University studies revealed that strength training – the kind that builds muscle will raise your metabolic rate, which enable you to burn calories. Strength training does not always follow that your muscles will grow bigger but they will certainly grow stronger.

Daniel Kosich in his book, A Personal Guide to Real Life Weight Management says, “when you make muscles stronger, they burn more calories. That means that for each pound of muscle you build with strength excercises, you burn 20 to 30 calories a day from your resting energy output or about 7,300 calories a year. You can strength train by using machines and free weights such as barbells.

(8) Follow the Pyramid.

The American Diatetic Association recommends a food guide pyramid that serves as a general list of healthful foods that must be eaten daily. The pyramid has four levels. The top of the pyramid is the smallest part , represents fats, oils and sweets. This group includes salad dressings, butter, ice cream, softdrinks, candies and desserts and foods that has very little nutritional value and can make your calories add up to.

At level two of the pyramid are the milk, yogurt, cheese group, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. These foods provide you with protein, calcium, iron and zinc.. ADA recommends two to three servings daily of this group.

The third level represents the vegetable and fruit groups, which are good sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. ADA recommends three to five servings daily of this group.

At the base of the pyramid are the bread, cereal, rice and pasta. ADA recommends 6 to 11 servings of this group. These foods are source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals

(9) Stop taking the following food.

ALCOHOL : a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer contains 150 calories. An

Alcoholic beverage can add 100 to 200 calories to your meal.

Alcohol is stored in the liver as fat.

COCONUT : An ounce of raw coconut contains 100 calories, around 77%

Of which is saturated fat.

CHOCOLATE, CANDY, COOKIES :

They are full of simple carbohydrates, which means they are

High in sugar and fats. The main fat in chocolate is cocoa

butter which is approximately 60% saturated fat.

WHOLE MILK : SWITCH TO SKIM MILK

Whole milk has high content of fat.

SUGAR : Softdrinks has very high sugar content.

MARGARINES : Contain hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Hope this helps!!!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Susan asks…

Is it possible to lose weight while your pregnant?

Obviously, you gain weight while your pregnant, but is it possible to lose weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, I did. With my first son. I gained a total of30 pounds during the pregnancy (baby weight only) and when I checked my weight at 4 weeks post-partum, I was 40 pounds lighter. You could tell during the pregnancy that I was losing as well because my arms got skinnier. I did not do this on purpose, I’m just diabetic and was forced to eat extremely healthy to maintain my sugars.

Lisa asks…

is there a safe way to lose weight while pregnant?

Currently i would be considered obese… i am VERY concerned that my weight will become a problem further along in my pregnancy. (especially if I do gain more weight.) can anyone help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Oh there are definitely healthy ways to lose weight while pregnant. The problem comes into play with the lack of vitamins and nutrients that come about with dieting and how much is weight and how much is fluids, so the best way to check is to ask the OB doctor. They have guidelines and menus even that you can work with and know that you’re doing the very best for your baby nutrient wise as well as taking care of your health. Walking is very good for you as well and helps with the labor also, just don’t overdo it. Check with the OB and good luck ok?

Mary asks…

Can you lose weight while your pregnant?

I heard that some woman actually lose weight while they are pregnant. By eating right and working out. With my first daughter I gained 100lbs and really don’t want to do that again. What kinds of food should I eat, so that the baby gets enough nutrients but still help me stay at a lower weight? What kinds of exercises can I do that won’t harm the baby?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Get a pregnancy exercise video and do that – it will be safe for the baby.
Walking will also be really good.
Eat healthy foods – veggies and fruits, avoid sugar and excess carbs.
You can probably limit your calorie intake to 2300 a day (2000 is normal plus 300 extra calories for pregnancy).
If you eat out then just one meal alone can have as much as 2000 or more calories in it!
So avoid eating out as much as possible.
Drink lots of water and eat when you are hungry and don’t when you’re not.
You can always ask your doctor for suggestions, and he may even set you up with a dietitian.
Good luck!

Helen asks…

Getting rid of my beer gut, tips for this diet plan?

Now I am 5’8 and weigh about 160 lbs, which isn’t much for a male, or even considered overweight, but I am not a muscly guy, so I would say I have an easy 10 lbs on my stomach/man boobs of beer greatness.

I will also note, that I do not want to loose any of the muscle mass I do have.
Now I have never really had to diet or work out a lot(outside of job requirements) so I am new to this.

So I was thinking a high nutrition/low carbs diet, you know, the food that sucks, and I was going going to foot march around 4-6 miles a day with about 40lbs in my back pack for the next two weeks, as well as moderate weight lifting just to keep my muscles, twice a week for just a half hour or so. Also keeping my daily calories low, 1300ish.

Would their be any weight loss outlook in that? And really, if I don’t really loose wait it does not matter, I just want to get rid of my torso fat. And also, would I Iose any muscle weight(I do not want this)?

Also note that I am a conditioned marcher so I do not need any input on that.

weight loss cardiff answers:

First: Knock off the beer. But don’t replace it with ice cream, sodas, candy, cake, etc.
What you need is a balanced diet. And exercise.
Guts come from overcarbing & lack of exercise, but replacing the carbs w/ a high protein diet will knock off some weight (with exercise), but it will come right back when you slip into old habits.
Recommended: The Zone, Barry Sears. He has a website & a dozen books. It’s all about a balanced diet that avoids the junk–fat & sugar–that is the staple of the modern American diet.
But you don’t starve yourself, there is plenty of variety. It’s just well-balanced. Like we used to eat.
It’s not a “crash”–just a healthy, gradual body readjustment.

Sandra asks…

I’m a 14 year old male, I’m about 5′ 6 and am between 140 and 145 lbs. I have some stomach fat, and some “flab” on my chest =/
I keep being told that I am fat, and have man boobs. I work out every saturday for about 2 hours, but am not seeing any fat loss, just muscle gain.
My goal is to lose belly fat, my man boobs, my love handles, and slim my butt down.
Please, supply me with some easy tricks to lose this fat.

I looked through allot of other questions similar to this one, and see allot of “dont worry about your body, your weight is fine, kids are so cruel” etc. Please don’t answer like that, I know kids are cruel, and I’m sick of it. Please just give me some tips/tricks.

Betty asks…

How can I get out of the rut in my relationship? Plus more issues!?

My boyfriend and I have been in a serious relationship for almost three years. Lately things have been relatively “blah” as we call it. We’re not BORED; we’re happy with each other. We do love one another and we make each other laugh; so there is nothing bad in that department. He is my best friend — my rock.

However, roughly six months ago, I asked him to be honest about the one thing that makes any man cringe: Have I been gaining weight, and do you think I am sexy? He didn’t want to answer, but I made him anyway, even though I knew what the answer was in my head. His answer was that, yes, I have gained weight, and unfortunately it has been a factor is us not having sex as much as we used to. I didn’t think it was going to, but oh man, did that kill my confidence. He tells me I am still beautiful, but it’s just not the same. I don’t feel happy with my body, and now I know he isn’t happy with it either. In turn, this makes me not want to initiate anything, knowing that he doesn’t love my body that much. I have gained about 30 pounds in two years, and I am only 22 years old. I am being treated for hypothyroidism but my treatment isn’t showing any serious changes.

I know what to do: Work out and diet. Easier said than done. I am a full time student going into PR at Wayne State University, and I work five – six days a week. I also still live at home, and my mother buys my food. Granted, she is a diabetic, so it is not like we have junk food in the house. I mostly slip up when I am at school or going out to the bar or a restaurant with my boyfriend or friends.

My diet and exercise issues are not the whole point of this, however it IS a factor. I think that if I felt good about my body, it would be easier to get out of the rut in our relationship. I need to get tips about what I can do otherwise, while I am trying to get into shape. Granted, if you have any tips for my situation in regards to my weight loss, feel free to comment! I DO need to know some tricks of the trade to get our relationship fun again. He is working on his master’s degree, and also works full-time in construction. He also lives with his mother – so it’s really difficult to spice things up with parents around. I would like to do something that might bring back more of the emotions rather than the physical excitement. Do they go hand-in-hand? PLEASE help!

Oh – and one more thing. He has recently gained friendship with an old friend he used to have feelings for in high school. He is completely open with me about their friendship, and I know for a fact he would not cheat on me, but I don’t trust her. I’ve hung out with her, and she loves me and my boyfriend as a couple, but I can’t help but one day be worried that she is going to steal my boyfriend’s heart. She is REALLY cool, and totally his type. I tell my boyfriend my concerns, and he tells me I have nothing to worry about. He tells me that he loves me, and his feelings for her are strictly platonic, but I still feel really insecure when they hang out together when I am not there. He also is not hiding anything from me about her, even if he knows it makes me sad if they hang out. He says he just wants me to know so I can get used to it, and by telling me everything, he is not hiding anything. If I were to ask him not to hang out with her when I am not there, he would be annoyed, because I would be denying him hanging out with a friend. He would resent me more than be understanding, only because he says he has zero feelings for her in that way. Also, I enjoy hanging out with her too…she really is a very cool, nice girl. This makes things even more confusing for my boyfriend…I like her, he likes her (as a friend) but yet I don’t like her hanging out with him…does that make any sense at all? How do I handle this? What can I tell myself to calm down about them hanging out?

I KNOW this is long, but please, PLEASE help!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Okay here’s the thing. You need to stop forcing him into telling you things he knows will hurt you, which will then hurt him.

Also, maybe the two of you should start going out and doing different things together, here and there, to break up the monotony.

Have you two considered a new hobby, a new passion of some kind? Maybe work out together, and make your body a project for both of you.

Change the kinds of sex you have and the times when you have it, so its more spontaneous and fun. Sex is supposed to be playing together, not just some rigid, mechanistic thing you do.

And you have to learn how to handle the ennui. That is break up the boredom.

Boredom comes around when you do the same, repetitive things, and develop the same annoying habits over time. So start breaking up the monotony and colorizing your world together instead of fading to black and white.
