Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Charles asks…

How do I lose weight without losing muscle?

I am a 34 yr old female with a muscular build. I have always been active and still play soccer (still play), Karate, foot hockey, and go to the gym. I have been told that I should not worry so much about weight because muscle weighs more than fat, but as I get older, I am also gaining weight. My diet is not the best, and maybe it’s just a matter of changing my diet to lose the extra pounds, but I have never dieted before so I am clueless about where to even start. Any thoughts?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try taboo and weight lifting often
WHAT to eat for losing weight

• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially NC (negative calorie) food.

* Print these lists. They will be your … “Bible”, from now on !
* Dill and parsely – include them in all your salads. Also ognion + garlic.
* Try eat mostly fresh vegs & fruits (whenever possible, of course)
* If you really want a book, then check this out: The Negative Calorie Diet Workbook & Cookbook – eBook (Win95/98 only). Read more about this e-book here.

• Eat fish, chicken, beef, pork. (preferences are in this order)

* If you are a vegetarian, then ignore this!
* Avoid fat meat

• Eat 2-3 slices of bread/day. Don’t EVER exclude bread from your diet!

• Snacks between meals (if needed): apples, oranges, grepfruits and other NC fruits

* Don’t cheat … NO cookies, chips, candies, brownies etc!
* EVEN if they have “low fat” indication… They might have low fat, yet they can have lots of CALORIES !!!

• About rice, potatoes, beans, [xxx]nuts, pastry, pasta… You know!

* Don’t eat too much of those, at least during the first weeks of the diet. I’m not a low carb addict, but I’ve noticed weight gains if consuming those in large quantities, especially when associated with other foods.
* If you like them a lot, try and eat them like one meal. A nice delicious plate of spaghetti could be your lunch (never dinner!), followed by a nice big apple. These rich starch foods are not good for dinner!
* At dinner time, chose mainly large mixed veggies salads… With fish, lean meat or cheese (if you are not a vegetarian).

If u want to lose weight the best food to it are baked potatoes with nothing on it. No salt no nothing just plain. U can eat a 10000000000 baked potatoes till ur stuff and not gain a pound. I heard that from a weight loss tape. The best drink is water or gatorade. Thats a start then when you work out do some taeboo. If u want a macine. Run with dumbells on a treadmill. U could do the rocky workout. But thats a new story. U could use a butterfly macine i think it works the abs

1) It is not just the amount you eat, but what you eat. Lean meats and vegtables that snap are a good place to start. And by snap I mean fresh and not boiled or doused with better or whatever.

2) Exercise moderatly but for about an hour every other day. Spend half of that walking or running at a good enough pace for you to feel labored. The other half of the time use weights, or exercises such as push ups or situps to get a muscle “burn”. A gym is also an option, but I don’t know if you have the money for or want to spend the money on it.

3) Sleep well. To bed earlier and up earlier. Exercise in the morning when you wake up, not in the evening before bed. 7 hours of GOOD sleep is a must.

4) Occupy yourself with a hobby that keeps your attention for a long period of time. A hobby like this keeps your mind focused and gives less of a chance for snacking from boredom.

That is a good place to start… If you see good results, keep it up and modify to fit you… If it does not, see a doctor AND a trainer

Keep working out, drink water a lot, eat 5 to 6 meals a day but in small quantities, vegtables are important specially cucumber and lattice, fruits not be eaten after meals except by 2 to 3 hours, minimize the starch quantities in your meals lots of salad is important, your last meal must be before you sleep by 2 to 3 hours
the most important thing is you don’t lose patient wait and have a strong will to be as what you want

you might have some more ideas from www.ivillage.com

good luck

Mandy asks…

What is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep if off for good?

I am in my late 30s and I want to be healthy as I get older and I wanted to know what is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep it off for good, what excersizes can you do to reach the healthy goal of weight loss, for those of you that lost a lot of weight 40 pounds or more what were healthy ways that you lost weight and how did you keep it off without gaining it back?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I lost 55 lbs. In 6 mo’s. I had just returned from Germany and Paris where I walked everywhere and still ate normal foods. When I got home I had lost 10 lbs.
Then I bought nothing but Lean Cuisine for dinner and a yogurt smoothie for breakfast and drank a lot of water.If I ate lunch at all it was fresh veggies.
I got down to 96 lbs and now my family is yelling at me to stop!!!
So I’ve gained back to 100 which is where I want to stay since I;m 5′ tall.
I really believe in Lean Cuisine, the food is fresh and very good. Don’t drink sodas and walk every chance you can.
It worked great for me Good luck.

Carol asks…

How fast can you lose weight by walking 100 meters everyday?

Walking at a certain speed wherein I feel muscle “strain” (I can feel the burn!) is very healthy for me, I know. But I want to know how fast I can lose weight by doing this daily and eating a healthy diet full of a balanced amount of pasta, vegetables, meat, and water.
Can I lose five-ten pounds in 5 months or so? Or how long, and how many pounds?

Does water help you lose weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight requires consuming fewer calories than you burn. Walking 100 meters a day isn’t much exercise if you want to lose weight, but if you restrict your calories a little you should be able to lose that much weight in 5 months.

There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Mark asks…

what is the quickest way to lose weight? without having to take anything?

i want to lose weight quick for my birthday, i know it’s bad for you, but it’s a one off. 🙂 help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Nothing beats working out

Susan asks…

In order to lose weight, do you have to burn more calories than you eat?

I ate breakfast and lunch today (460 calories worth) than burnt off 450 on the treadmill for 50 mins. Can you only lose weight quick if you burn more than you eat in a day? Thanks everyone!

weight loss cardiff answers:

You forget that you burn calories by living and breathing; with heart pumping, hopefully brain working, and all other muscle movements and bio functions. The average burn is about 2000 calories a day, but varies a lot.You should eat over 1100 calories a day to keep off starvation mode.
You do only lose weight by burning more calories in living and extra activity than you eat, and best to eat food that is actually good for you – lots of salads and vegetables and beans and whole grains and low fat protein foods.

Jenny asks…

what is the fastest way to lose weight?

I don’t care if it’s unhealthy.

I’m considering doing meth because people lose so much weight while on it or I might become anorexic.

Any other ways to lose weight quicker?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are no fast ways. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

How can i lose weight i n one week?

im overweight and i want to lose weight in one week. i eat healthy and work out but its not working what do i do?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You cannot lose much weight in one week – maybe a couple of pounds. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time.

Ruth asks…

Why do anorexics lose weight when they start eating normally?

I have read and heard about how, when die-hard anorexics go into treatment and are forced to eat a normal diet, they actually lose weight over the first week or so. I’ve even seen it mentioned on a documentary about eating disorders. However, this seems highly irrational since anorexics’ bodies are in starvation mode/have very low metabolism, and therefore eating normally should cause them to gain weight. Is there a medical explanation for this?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Its because if someone doesn’t eat normally (like never eating at noon but still have breakfast and dinner), the body will detect that there is a lack of food available, and as a natural way to prevent death due to lack of food it will store fats to be sure to have enough energy to survive.

When they start eating normally again the body notices there’s no more lack of nutrients and will use the nutrients stored (which are the fats), and since the body now starts to use the fats stored you will lose those fats and lose weight.

NEVER eat under your healthy recommandations even when you try to loose weight! It will only make it worse!

If i run how much weight will i lose in a week?

I’m 6’4 265lbs i wanna lose weight so i figured dieting and running everyday with weight training would be sufficient. If i ran 2-3 miles a day and dieted plus worked out, about how much weight could i lose a week. I figured it would be 2-3 pounds.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Whenever you can, lean against a wall with your hands flattened against the wall and in such a way that your face is very close to the wall. Then use you hands to push your body away from the wall. Do these two or three times at a stretch.

Carol asks…

Lose weight one week gain weight the next?

Exercise includes a mixture of cardio, kickboxing, weight training. How in the world did I put on 4 lbs by the second week?

Weight fluctuates for all kinds of reasons. You need to look at the long term picture. Weight loss is an overall process. You need to think about many factors. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.
