Donna asks…
Are TV dinners such as lean cuisine and stouffers healthy dinner options for weight loss?
I’ve heard they are good for losing weight (as long as you exercise) and good sources of protein. Are they good for weight loss and if not what are other options?
weight loss cardiff answers:
The two that you mentioned aren’t necessarily unhealthy for you, but read the labels carefully to see if they contain a lot of salt or partially hydrogenated oils (if the latter, don’t buy them if possible).
I would not call them “good for weight loss” but I wouldn’t say they are unhealthy, either.
In addition to exercise, the best way to lose weight is to prepare most of your own foods, so that you control the ingredients and because processed foods often contain lots of stuff that you don’t want to eat a much of (this is because of BAD doctors’ and government studies in the early 1960s that made cholesterol out to be the main cause of heart disease–and that’s a lie, it isn’t.).
So, prepare and eat:
*High protein
*Lots of fresh fruits and veggies
*Plenty of fiber (whole grain breads, cereals if you eat cereal for breakfast). My favorite bread is Roman Meal.
You can be grill master for the protein, fresh fruit can simply be purchased and put in a bowl, and veggies don’t require a lot of preparation (just steam them or cook them in water in the microwave for just a few minutes). So this is all quite easy to make.
Drinking green tea is also helpful. Sweeten it with honey, not sugar (brown sugar is okay, though).
I also recommend three supplements: ginseng; and those that you can find at the links below.
John asks…
What weight-loss exercises can you do on an injured ankle?
I sprained my ankle 2 months ago and am looking for exercises that I can do that won’t reinjure my ankle.
weight loss cardiff answers:
Definitely upper body weight training….
For cardio, maybe you can do something like the cycle machine of elliptical machine, since those are more low impact….your foot never leaves the pedals.
Last of all…. There is always pilates and yoga…… Very easy on the ankles for the most part.not sure how much weight loss is involved in these 2 though. I lost 75 pounds by dieting and exercising, and it only took like 6 months. I did cardio and lots of weight lifting…. 5 or 6 days a week.
Linda asks…
What are your thoughts on teenagers receiving weight loss surgery? Denies the real problem or life saving?
After recent increases in the number of teenagers getting gastric bypasses and other types of surgery, it is widely becoming accepted quickly. However, is it right? Do you think if it saves lives, of course! Or, alternatively, do you think that these kids should approach weight loss from a wholistic perspective (dealing with their emotions through psychological counselling, complimented with education about proper nutrition and exercise?)
weight loss cardiff answers:
I think the surgery is an extreme measure, and not really appropriate for teens. Teens can still change their lifestyle fairly easily. The surgery is the easy way out. Not only that, but 6 out 8 adults who have had the surgery that I know personally gained all the weight back within 5 years. Surgery is an extreme measure, but you still have to change your lifestyle. Without that change, it doesnt matter how many or what kind of proceedures you have, you will always gain the weight back bc you are still living the same unhealthy lifestyle.
