Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Ken asks…

What is the best way to loose 1 1/2 stone by September?

I currently weigh 10st 7lbs but I’m only 5′ 3″ so it really shows. I was always 9st pre pregnancy. I can’t afford to go to a gym and don’t seem to have enough time to exercise, plus I find exercise very boring. I want to get back to my pre pregnancy weight to feel healthy again as I’m feeling bloated and lethargic at the moment.
I do try to eat healthily but seem to get so tired I have to have a sugar boost and weight doesn’t naturally drop off.
Any help and adivce would be great. I don’t have time or money to create lavish dishes from a diet recipe book.
Please help. I don’t want a quick fix. I want the weight to stay off and I’m quite prepared for it to take a few months.
Thanx in advance.
Dawn.

I’ve answered this question a few times before on Answers, but I’m happy to say it again – Slimming World.

Normal healthy living and eating didn’t really work well enough for me, but one and a half years ago I tried Slimming World and lost over three stone in just less than a year! I know it sounds corny, and I was a true skeptic before then, but what can I say? It works! I don’t quite know how or why, but I feel better now than I have done in years. I went from size 18/ 20 to 12/ 14 and have kept it off. I am now the weight I was when I first got married ten years ago and had not seen on the scales since then!!

It’s definately acheivable. And because it’s normal food, just different combinations, the whole family can do it and it’s completely safe. I am sticking with this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet because I struggled for so long, like you, and now I’ve found something that works, I don’t want to lose it!

Why don’t you go to www.slimming-world.co.uk to find out where your nearest group is.

I don’t actually go to the sessions anymore, but still stick closely to the plan. It’s been a year and I have maintained, no problem. I stay motivated because I know where I was and I’m not going back there! I never thought anything could do it, but I did and you could too! All the best to you!

Maria asks…

Where can I find a lo cal, low carb, low fat, low cholestrol soup recipe?

I was looking at the epicurious.com site for diet recipes and there was a remark from a cook from Canada that said there were much better soup recipes than the one posted. BUT… They left no email of where to write to say SO…Lets have that super soup recipe. there are no top chefs in my family and the ones that can cook cook with many calories added and things I don’t need to diet or get healthier.So are there any good soup cooks out there that wish to share a few recipes? I need to lose 80 pounds and want to totally change the recipes I’ve grown up with and learn how to grocerie shop healthy without going broke. Thank you everyone who answers. Overweight from Pennsylvania

weight loss cardiff answers:

First you take a pan of water…and heat that up…

That’s about the healthiest you’re going to get with all that low cal, fat…blahblahblah

The way to lose weight is…

* Stop drinking soda

* Eat sugary foods VERY sparingly, or not at all if you can help it

* Exercise

* Drink a LOT of water

* Eat smaller portions

* Be aware of everything you add to food that jacks up the total fat/cal count….such as a nutrious salad with very fattening dressing

* Give yourself ” rewards ” for getting so far…
Ex. ” Lose 10 pounds, get a new shirt….lose 5 more, get a cappucino ”
With a reward system, you won’t feel as though you’re depriving yourself from as much.

Good luck! If I can do it, anyone can!!!

Sandra asks…

What do actresses do to lose weight fast?

When actresses need to either lose weight fast, or build muscle for a movie part, what programme do they follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I believe actresses hire expensive trainers to help get them into shape. They use cardio/aerobics, yoga, pilates, weight resistance, strength training, and a very strict diet. And probably the occasional cosmetic surgeries to help shape the very biggest, unsolvable, problematic area.

If you are really looking the best way how to lose weight fast,

Ken asks…

How do you lose weight fast and efficiently?

I’m 13, 5’7 (shoe size of 13, totally irrelevant), but I already weigh around 77kg. I think I weigh a bit over, is there anyways I can lose weight fast and will not gain it back fast. Or at least, is there anyways I can make myself look skinner.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Any method of losing weight fast usually means that you will lose a lot of water weight which will come back quickly. That said, instead of dieting per say, you should permanently change your eating habits. Eat smaller portions of nutritious, well balanced meals 4-5 times a day instead of 3 large meals. Make sure you are getting enough protein (which means eating meat, chicken, fish, soy, dairy, eggs, etc).

The Anshar Diet

As an American I’ve seen enough crazy fad diets in my day to fill several weeks full of infomercials and advertisements. As such I’m going to give you the benefit of many years of health and nutrition classes and do my good deed for the year.

I’m going to tell you how to not only lose weight but change the composition of your body, increase your health, and best of all.. Keep it off.

First, let’s dispel some common myths.

Myth 1:
Eating less calories will make me lose weight.
Unfortunately this isn’t always true. A lot of different factors program your metabolism but one of the key things is how OFTEN you eat. If you fast all day long and then have a 500 calorie meal at the end of the day almost ALL of it will be stored by your body.

Myth 2:
I can have a diet with no carbs and be healthy.
This really is a testament to how much Americans want a quick fix. Diets like the Atkin’s Diet cause your body to start devouring itself, increase your cholesterol, and in certain cases can even kill you. One thing I WON’T argue, death will indeed cause you to lose weight, permanently.

Myth 3:
If I go on a diet I will lose weight.
99% of people who go on diets will end up putting on MORE weight than they lost from a diet. This is because diet is supposed to be a LIFESTYLE change, not something you do for 2 weeks. If you starve your body it will make fat cells and increase their size even faster.

Myth 4:
I need to go out and exercise to lose weight.
This isn’t actually true but it’s important to say that having daily activities WILL keep you healthy. If you burn almost no calories every day what else do you think your body is going to do with them? Balancing a healthy lifestyle with a good diet is what you want here, not killing yourself by running every afternoon.

Myth 5:
The scale in my bathroom gives me a good idea of how healthy I am.
The dreaded bathroom scale does NOT tell you how healthy you are. Let’s say I have 10 lbs of fat, don’t drink water, and have little muscle mass. Then I work out for 3 months and hydrate every day. I lose 5 lbs of fat but gain 7 lbs of muscle and 3 pounds of average water weight. What will happen when I look at the scale? Are you being fair to yourselves? Judge yourself by how you feel, not what a spinning number under your feet tells you.

With these common myths out of the way I’ll tell you the secret. It’s five simple steps.

~~The Anshar Diet~~
1. Only eat until you are no longer hungry.
This does NOT mean that you starve yourself. It means after you take a few bites of food ask yourself if you’re still hungry. If you’re not, into the fridge it goes. While we’re at it, CHEW YOUR FOOD. At least 10 times per bite (using common sense if you’re eating applesauce, this isn’t an excuse to be an idiot).

2. Eat at least 6 (more if your schedule allows) meals a day.
I know this seems counterintuitive, but hear me out. If you eat 6-8 meals a day the meals are very small (often around 100-200 calorie “snacks”), provided you are only eating until you are NOT HUNGRY. When your body is not hungry your metabolism will not try to store energy as fat. It really is that simple. Smaller meals aid in digestion, they increase the nutrition you get from your food, and they keep you from being lethargic. If you eat when you’re hungry your body stores MORE of it as fat (“Hmm. I’m hungry, I don’t know where my next meal will come from! I’d better hold onto this.”)

3. Eat BEFORE you get hungry.
Schedule your 6-10 meals throughout the day and stick to them. If you’re waiting until you get hungry to eat you’ve already screwed this up. Your body stores energy if you’re hungry, if your body sees food and just takes what it needs then you’re running at optimum efficiency. This is called programming your metabolism.

4. Eat breakfast. Always.
Your first meal of the day is also the meal you have no choice over being hungry for. Your body has been replenishing itself all night and needs fuel. Since now you KNOW that hunger means you store your food then that means you want to keep breakfast LIGHT. A cup of cereal and a banana. A granola bar and an apple. LIGHT does NOT mean you skip breakfast. If you skip breakfast you are telling your metabolism to turn ALL of the next meal you eat into stored fat.

5. Drink water.
(I’m a big hypocrite on this one, but I can’t stress it enough) Most people think that if they pick up a glass of orange juice instead of a soda they’re doing themselves a favor, and that’s not entirely true. A glass of orange juice can have just as many calories as some sodas. Try looking at the label sometime. If you’re thirsty, drink water. If you love your soda then have your soda (real soda, not diet, artificial sweetners have been argued to be one of the worst things to ever happen to western civilization). If you decide to have a drink to treat yourself, pour yourself a half glass, don’t take a can or bottle with you and for go

Try adding some exercise to your daily routine. Even just a 30 minute walk or run 3-7 times a week will do you some good. The weight will come off slowly but surely and will stay off if you continue to maintain this lifestyle.

Skip out on the high sugar snacks like chocolate bars and candy.

Thomas asks…

fast and easy weight loss plan?

I’m 14 years old, 5’4 and weigh 143 lbs. I’m a cheerleader so I’m active about 3-4 times a week. i need a fast and diet plan before school starts which is in 3 weeks. please tell me how fast it will work. oh and how many calories should i have each day to accomplish the diet for a girl my age. please help me

weight loss cardiff answers:

Eat smaller portions. This way, your body starts to increase its metabolism so that calories are burned faster. Also, small meals can prevent overeating.
Stop eating just when you feel you are not as hungry, don’t keep on eating till you feel full

————–
Eat:
Plenty of Cucumbers: it takes more calories to digest cucumbers than the calories you can obtain from it, it also give you clean, easy way of filling full.
Grapefruit juice: when eaten with protein, triggers fat burning and causes weight loss.

———————-

Believe in a target weight you want to achieve and weigh yourself twice a day, be encouraged from the progress.

Set a daily goal for 1 Pound or 2 you want to loose. When you do not achieve your daily goal, just eat way less at that day just to keep the same paste of weight loosing.

—————–

Start the diet at the supermarket. Keep stocked with healthy food and you’ll be less likely to run out for high calorie junk food.
