Thomas asks…

Is it safe to try to lose weight while pregnant?

I’m only talking about 10-15 pounds. I’m not pregnant now, but trying to conceive. I want to be totally healthy beforehand, so I eat well and try to exercise daily. I just don’t know if it’s okay to step up the exercise level, or if this isn’t a good time. (like taking up running?) I guess my uncertainty is in not knowing between ovulation and missed period what is happening. I don’t want to go overboard and miscarry. What have your doctors recommended??

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you’re not pregnant now, it doesn’t matter what you start doing. You can exercise as hardcore as you want.

Usually, if you normally workout intensely, they let you continue doing that once you’re pregnant. You just don’t want to make a drastic change AFTER you’re prego.

Richard asks…

Is it possible to safely lose weight while pregnant?

When my daughter was 5 months old I got pregnant again, Im happy about having another child but I didn’t get to lose all my pregnancy weight from my daughter and I don’t want to gain too much weight so is it possible to safely lose weight while I am pregnant now?!?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It is NEVER recommended that a pregnant women try to lose weight while pregnant.
You can however not take in as many calories and exercise to limit the amount that you gain.
You need to gain some weight while pregnant so that your baby can develop accordingly.
Just eat right, exercise and try not to give into every naughty craving.
But sometimes if you are craving something, it is your body telling you that you need it for some reason or another.
Good luck on your pregnancy

Lizzie asks…

Is it ok to lose weight while pregnant?

It’s slightly possible that I may be pregnant. Won’t know until I miss my period. However, I started dieting and exercising recently and I’m actually losing weight and doing well with it. If it turns out that I am pregnant, should I stop dieting and exercising or should I just change how I’m doing it?
Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

No. Any doctor will tell you that. What you can do is just make sure you are eating healthy. Don’t eat any more calories than you need for you both to be healthy. While pregnant that is only about an extra 300 calories a day. And you can take walks everyday to stay active.

Lisa asks…

How do you lose a little weight easily and quickly?

I’m 16 and I’m only 4’8, so this wont seem like a lot of weight to you but it is to me for my height. I’m 91lbs and I’ve never been this heavy in my life. I only want to lose between 5 and 10lbs, but whenever I try to just lose a little, I gain weight. I started out at 84lbs which is normal and I just keep gaining weight, I don’t know why. What are some things I can do to get back to my normal weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight requires you to burn more calories than you consume. So the ways to do that are cut your calories, be more active, or both.

Do not drop your calories under 1200 a day without a doc’s okay. Too low and your metabolism slows down and you don’t get the desired effect…and weight gain becomes easier.

Add exercise to your daily regime. I shoot for at least 1 hr a day, at least 5 days a week…but most week’s I manage up to 2 hrs a day (between 2 workouts, before and after work) 6 – 7 days a week.

Do cardio exercise for fat burning…jogging, speed walking, dancing, aerobics, swimming, bicycling, etc. Do strength training and/or toning exercise to firm your body and speed up your metabolism. If you have weights you can use, that’s a bonus. Yoga is also great for toning and flexibility.

Good luck!

Ken asks…

How can i lose weight quickly, easily and low cost?

I am 163 cm and weigh about 50 kilos. I love my weight/height and most of my body is really toned except for my bum and thighs. They are a ginormous problem as i cant wear half the stuff i want to because of them. I am not pear-shaped as my hips are a nice size, its just all my fat goes into my thighs. Two years ago i went on a crash diet and ate basically nothing all year. I had a BMI of 16, which i know is underweight but it worked for me. Now i have sort of “let myself go”.

Anyway, if anyone knows any way of making legs thinner or longer that would be great. I know running is a good way of solving my problem, but i find it too difficult to breath and i dont really have the time. I am still growing so if anyone knows of any miracle foods that will help, please say. Thanks

“I know running is a good way of solving my problem, but i find it too difficult to breath and i dont really have the time.”

Running gets easier with practice. Just take it slowly and try to improve your distance/time gradually. I started out running not able to even finish a mile without stopping to walk. With 6 months of intense training, I’m now able to run 9 miles (14.5 km) on mountainous trails. It’s not impossible, it only takes one hour of your day!

Start off by jogging as slow as you need to for twenty-thirty minutes. Carry a water bottle with you as you run. You’ll be able to get faster & build endurance.

If not, you can go to the gym and use those machines specifically geared towards working out the thigh/leg muscles.

Sorry bud, but the only way to get toned thighs is to exercise and hard work. I know you don’t like to hear that, but if it were really as simple as a “miracle food” then we’d all look fabulous.

Jenny asks…

how to lose weight easily and quickly?

i want to do it without starving myself i have alot of muscle but some fat to i want to burn all my fat or most of iit so how do i?

weight loss cardiff answers:

1. Keep track of what you eat. Use a food log website such as myfitnesspal.com (that’s what I use, it has helped a lot) to keep track of how much you’ve eaten and how much you can still eat. NEVER eat less than 1200 calories if you’re a woman or less than 1500 if you’re a man. That can put your body into starvation mode which actually makes weight loss more difficult.

2. Find an exercise you like doing and do it everyday! Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity in. For me its dancing – specifically the Caramelldansen which is a little bit silly but its helped me stay active and in shape.

3. DOOOO NOOOTTT stress about losing weight. That won’t help, at all. I know from experience.

4. Eat only when you’re actually hungry. Think to yourself, “am I actually hungry or am I just craving this food, or am I jsut eating because its the time of day I usually eat?”

Good luck. 🙂
I used to weigh 195 and am now down to 145 pounds.

Richard asks…

What degree should I take to pursue a career as a dietitian?

Hi. I’m a polytechnic study, currently doing my final year in IT(in Singapore).Seriously, it’s not my cup of tea. I definitely don’t like sedentary jobs. I prefer moving around and meeting new people. I wish to pursue to career as a dietitian. The problem is, my current GPA is not good. What degree can I take (to be a dietitian) and where?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If your interested in pursuing this in the U.S., go here.

Http://www.eatright.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/career.html

It can be a helpful place to start. Whatever you’re doing in Singapore will give you an edge in dietetics, so finish it first.

From there, talk to an admissions adviser from whatever approved school you’re interested in. They will be able to give you good, detailed advice on how to get started.

Good luck!
