Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Lizzie asks…

What commercial weight loss programs are vegan?

I lost 90 pounds on a “whole plant based diet” (healthy vegan), but want help in losing another 60 pounds. Are there any commercial weight loss programs that are “vegan” in nature?

Gina Kolata describes the abysmal record of the most popular programs including Weight Watchers, Atkins, and medically supervised calorie restricted diets. Her deep research indicated that the vast majority of people fail to maintain much weight loss over a period of a few years.

What commercial programs are available to vegans?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Commercial diet programs sometimes rely on pre-packaged foods. They are not commonly associated with whole foods or with plant-based foods.

Congratulations on your 90-pound weight loss! Most likely, you are now feeling much more energetic and exercising more each day. Since you have been so successful, and you have been eating plant-based whole foods, you must have been doing much of your own cooking.

I think you will like these websites to help you with webcasts, blogs, recipes, and nutritional information. Perhaps you have already seen them.

Does anyone know any good weight loss programs that are good for diabetics?

A friend of mine is interested in starting a weightloss program, but is type 2 diabeties. She cannot handle any sugars whatsoever, and has to limit herself to VERY few carbs. With this being said, does any know, preferebly from experience, any good weightloss programs for diabetics? Something where the food can be ordered, such as NutriSystem, where you don’t have to go to the place to participate. Thanks in advanced~~! Links would be much appreciated,

weight loss cardiff answers:

The South Beach Diet is really good. Try to do this with her. It’s always nice to have somebody to diet with for support. You can also do Weight Watchers on the internet. Both are good.

David asks…

What are some good weight loss recipes (easy ones!)?

I’m going on holiday in 5 weeks and want to lose some weight/flatten stomach beforehand. I cycle around 20 minutes a day (getting to places).
What are some yummy low calorie recipes that I could use – that are relatively simple (and I mean SIMPLE please! – I’m a student and will just end up being too lazy to make elaborate stir-fries, or even follow diet plans that include too large an array of recipes that I can’t afford or make). I’m a fan of chicken (skinless); salmon; tuna etc. and most vegetables.

Thanks a lot

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well i would stick to home made chicken grill (without skin) salad , fruits , whole grain (but not as much) fish, and steamed vegetables. Also try tofu they come in variety of flavors. The fruit i would recommend is pineapple it really helps you brake down other foods in your stomach since its a strong acid fruit. Hope that helped.

Donna asks…

What are good weight loss plans for couples that are free?

I’m 21 and my girlfriend is 20 and we both need to lose about the same amount of weight (35lbs) and we both would like to do it together and I was wondering if anyone knows of any good weight loss plans for couples that are free cause we really don’t need to lose too much. If you could help us in any way such as advice or anything it would be appreciated thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s most commendable that you want to work together to loose weight. That way you will each motivate the other.
Modify your diet; read the Nutrition Facts labels; eliminate junk food.
Go for walks, together. Start off with short walks such as just around the block, then extend by going around 2 or 3 blocks. Explore your neighborhood, on foot; reverse the direction of your walks for some variety.
Consider bicycling. It has minimal impact on the body’s joints; it increases your metabolism; and it extends your range of physical activity.

Daniel asks…

Is there any good weight loss plans for teens?

I’m 14, female, and I’m 5’4. I weigh 230 lbs. and I want to get at least to 195 before the end of August. Is there any good plans for teen weight loss?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yeah, sure there are. The younger you are, the faster you lose weight. But don’t try fad diets, whatever you do. It’ll only make your condition worse.

You can start loading up on the protein, massively. You can get protein powder over at GNC or order online from GNC.com. The protein helps build your muscles, while also providing energy to burn fat.

But protein is half the battle. Exercising is the other half. While exercising, you will notice a little energy boost from the protein. Also, set short term goals for yourself (ex. I’ll run on the treadmill for 5 minutes), and try to reach those goals even though you feel tired. Then, if you’re working hard, you’ll see significant fat loss. You will also see that you start setting the short term goals harder than before, just for the heck of it.

Sandra asks…

Does anyone have any good meal plans for weight loss?

I need some meal plans/recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner that aren’t too expensive and not too complicated to make. I plan on combining these together during the day for a healthy weight loss plan. When it comes to meat, I only eat poultry, fish fillets and calamari. If you could please help me out, I’d greatly appreciate it!

P.S. If you have any cool, filling and healthy snack ideas – please share! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have the perfect diet plan for you but before I jump on to the meal schedule i will tell you a quick tip first. It is scientifically proven that if you eat 5-6 meals a day rather than your regular 3 meals, you will burn almost twice more fat. This is because when you consume a meal the body is designed to absorb all nutrients and contents(first the vitamins, then mineral, and finally fats and sugars) from that meal UNTIL you consume another meal. So if you eat 1 meal, wait 3 hours, then eat another meal, your body wont absorb as many fats and sugars as compared to 1 meal, wait 5-6hours, 2nd meal. I hope this made sense. 😛

Below is the daily schedule diet:

Meal 1(Breakfast): 2 egg whites, 1 cup of cooked oatmeal
Meal 2(Snack): Fruit or Nuts
Meal 3(Lunch): Tossed Salad with 4oz Chicken strips
Meal 4(Snack): Fruit or Nuts
Meal 5(Dinner): Grilled fish with boiled spinach

Follow this diet everyday. Eat each meal within 2 1/2-3 hours in between. No meals after 9pm.
*Note: This was just an example of meals that you can eat, you can change each food category with another meal of the same category(i.e for your dinner you can substitute any other white meat such as chicken or turkey instead of the fish and for the boiled spinach any other vegetable will do)
Hope this helped!

Your Questions About Weight Loss

Ken asks…

Are weight loss supplements dangerous or do they work?

I am doing some weight training for the first time. I love working out and want the best possible results. I’m seeking to become a personal trainer, do some excersise videos, and be in a few fitness magazines. Do weight loss supplements, such as hydroxycut or slimquik, really work? Are they dangerous for your body? How do they work?

Thank you kindly for answering. I appreciate you all.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Theyre ripoffs… And they arent healthy for you..if you read fine print they tell you to eat right and exercise so that tells you that they dont work.. So its better just to do it the old fashioned way, eat right and exercise!

James asks…

What are good vitamins or supplements to take to aid in weight-loss?

I am 22, 5-11 and 230 pounds. I have started running to lose weight but I have only seen weight gain. I know I am building muscles and weight will increase, but I still feel that I am not losing the weight I could be losing. I am taking vitamin B but I was wondering if there were any other good weight loss supplements to take?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are no vitamins or supplements that will help you lose weight. If you keep to a well balanced healthy diet then you will take in everything you need on those lines.

Count the calories, spread out the meals to keep your appetite in control drink enough water and exercise. Doing this will lose you weight.

There are plenty of places to find out recommended calorie needs etc.

Avoid extreme diet like Atkins. These do leave you short of essentials. And moreover they are often boring and therefore hard to stick to.

Jenny asks…

Is it bad to take energy weight loss supplements before working out to boost stamina?

I recently discovered that when I take energy weight loss supplements before a work-out that I am able to work-out longer without getting tired as quickly as I would without taking them. I tend to work-out in the evenings starting out with running. (The supplement I am taking is the Quick Trim the ISO-BURN AM.)

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, it is bad and you should not take any weight loss supplements before you work out (or ever for that matter) because they contain ingredients that get rid of your fat (Good and bad fat), which you need to burn in order to gain muscle. If you have no fat to burn, your body starts to burn the muscle instead and you will diminish your muscles as well as your fat, which is very unhealthy. Also, the diet supplement will get rid of key vitamins in your body when it gets rid of the fat, leaving you with less vitamins such as omega 3, iron, and calcium, which works against you when you exercise and destroys the inside of your body. Do yourself a favor, and don’t use the weight loss supplement.
PS. 75% of people who use weight loss supplements gain back their lost weight and usually gain even more weight.

Mary asks…

Are weight loss supplements harmful to teens or children going through puberty?

I’m not asking on advice to lose weight, I just want to know specifically if weight loss supplements might be any more harmful for teens than for adults.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Of course yes, kids and children should avoid the supplements. They should take only the natural diets only. They should do some exercises, that’s enough for teens and children.

Susan asks…

Does anyone know of any particularly good weight loss supplements?

Does anyone know of any particularly good weight loss supplements?
I’m looking for something to help curb my appetite (not to replace a meal, just curb the hunger between meals) and boost my energy, but not make me jittery.

I’m just looking for a good supplement that is legal, helpful and over the counter.

I’m not trying to lose massive amounts of weight but I feel like I need a little boost to go with my better eating habits and exercise.
I think I will try the whole chocolate thing!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The first thing to learn about weight loss supplements is how and why different types work so that you can find the best one for your own body. There are some good articles posted here that explain how and why different types of diet pills work. Http://www.weightlossfatloss.us/diet_pills.asp Find the right one and they work great.
