weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi, you need 3 things for effective weight loss and these are :
1. Well balanced diet.
2. Any physical activity that gets your heart pumping faster than normal.
3. Correct mental attitude.
With these 3 together you basically guarantee yourself the results you seek.

The most important factor is diet, or a better word would be nutrition.In fact, to lose weight is 70% diet and 30% exercise. Its quite simple actually – burn more calories than you consume.Just burn that mantra into your brain. Write it down and stick it wherever you can see it.
You don’t have to be strict or rigid and deny yourself the foods you love, just eat less of the ‘bad’ foods and more of the nutritious stuff. Moderation is the key, as it is for most things in life.

Regarding exercise, the best system is interval training. This is short but intense bursts of activity. An example is walking, then running, then walking again, with no rest in between. This the best because it works by continuing to burn fat and build muscle even when you are at rest, more than any other system. Another reason is that it won’t allow the weight to return, which is the most important element of any successful weight loss system.

For your thighs use squats,lunges,reverse lunges. For your belly DO NOT use crunches or sit ups. Let me repeat that, no crunches or sit ups. All they are good for is a bad back! Use exercises like the plank and side plank, as well as the superman press up. Take the usual press up position and run your hands forward as far as you can, like Superman flying. Pull your abs in tight( like your belly button meeting your spine) and do a press up. Concentrate on your abs. You won’t be able to do many of them and you will feel a burn in your abs like no crunch or sit up can give you!

Another great abs exercise is to stand relaxed, hands at your side. Breath in through your nose and at the same time pull your abs in tight (as with the superman press up, should feel like your belly button meeting your spine). Hold for as long as you can, breath out. Repeat and work towards 8 time in all.Try and do it 2 to 3 times a day. Do this everyday and not only will you have super abs, your back will be strengthened as well and you will feel very relaxed and calm.Trust me, this is a brilliant and not very well known exercise for your abs, back and overall wellness. Also you can do it anywhere and anytime.

Remember, whatever exercises you choose, and whatever you decide to do, don’t expect miracles, just be consistent and disciplined and apply the 3 elements mentioned above and you WILL succeed and see the desired results.

Helen asks…

Weight loss/dieting plans?

What are some good weight loss/dieting plans for 16 year olds? I’m almost 6 feet tall and obviously I’m a female. I would like to lose about 20 pounds (which is a healthy amount for my size) and tone my arms, legs, and stomach. I was considering doing a water diet and taking fruit and veggie supplements in place of foods but by doing that I will most likely gain weight.I’m willing to stop eating any foods necessary. I’m currently not doing any sports but I do plan on doing track this upcoming winter and either lacrosse or track in the spring as well. When I participate in sports I seem to lose weight but when I run on my own or do other types of workouts at home, I don’t seem to drop weight. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss tip 1: Decide how much weight you need to lose – Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn’t a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.

Weight loss tip 2: Time management – This is quite often overlooked. Decide which part of your day will be dedicated to exercise, when in the week you will stock up on groceries, and when you will do the cooking – all within your current work and home life routine. If you don’t do this now, your days will be rushed and unplanned, and you won’t be able to sustain your weight loss efforts.

Weight loss tip 3: Stock your kitchen – Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step – cooking healthy meals at home.

Weight loss tip 4: Eat healthy homecooked meals – Whether it’s you who’s cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who’s lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you’ll start seeing results in no time.

Weight loss tip 5 : Start a cardio + weights workout – A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.

Weight loss tip 6: Alter your snacking habits . Set those French fries aside, skip that aerated drink, and ban those unhealthy deep fried samosas. Explore the healthy snack world and you will find several appetisers, party snacks, movie snacks and meal accompaniments that’ll satisfy every craving of yours.

Weight loss tip 7: Have at least one active hobby – It isn’t sufficient to rely on just 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Moving from bed to office chair, and back to bed, isn’t a healthy way to live. Buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family, plan weekend trips, clean your house once a week, dance, play sports, the list is endless. Get out of the coffee shop and dining table rut, and you’ll have fun along with the healthy weight loss

Weight loss tip 9: Drink plenty of water – You’ve known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it’s time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you’ll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.

Weight loss tip 10: Plan healthy vacations – Why go all the way with healthy weight loss, when one tiny vacation will just come along and topple it all? Healthy vacations aren’t impossible. Take a look at how you can eat smart on a holiday, and then at bodyweight workouts that you can carry with you wherever you go, to understand how to holiday right. Above all, remember that these are lifelong habits that’ll help you stay fit forever and not short term weight loss quickfixes

good luck.

Maria asks…

is this a good plan for weight loss?

ok i started a diet and exercise schedule yesterday, i will walk 1 mile every other day and work out on my exercise machine and ball on the days i do not walk. Also i eat a small breakfast, a slim fast shake or 100 calorie snack for lunch and a small dinner. I know its better to eat more small meals but that just doesnt work for me. do you think taht will work or does anyone have a better plan i could follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight is challenging, so don’t waste your efforts by using the wrong diet plan. I used to be very overweight. I would try different diets and all sorts of things. Eventually I learned through my trial and error, how to spot a real healthy weight loss diet plan that will work and is easy to stick with. Through my experience, I have learned exactly what to look for when choosing a healthy weight loss diet plan. Before you begin any weight loss plan, find out if others have had real results using the diet, and make sure the person who created it is qualified to teach you. I about to show you exactly how to do this so you can finally find a a great healthy weight loss diet plan, and actually stick with it.

Another tip that can save you lots of wasted time and effort is make sure the Author is someone who knows what they are talking about. Find out the author has any qualifications to be teaching you how to lose weight. A good clue that you have found a really good healthy weight loss diet plan is if the program is written by a certified personal trainer. It is very likely that a diet created by someone who has put in the grueling effort to become a certified personal trainer will know what they are talking about, and can help you achieve the body you deserve.

When you find a diet you are interested in, try and see if other people have had real results using it. If other people are having success with it, then it is a good bet you will too. One thing you must look out for is people using fake before and after pictures. They are very easy to spot. The key is to make sure you can see their faces in the pictures or it is probably a scam. If the face is blurred, look for tattoos or birthmarks to determine if the pictures are of the same person. You want to find a healthy weight loss diet plan that many people have used and is proven successful. Also find out and read reviews of other people have used the diet, and see if they had good results.. A good thing to look for is before and after pictures that actually show the person face. If you see before and after pictures that don’t show the person’s face, then they may be fake so why waste your time, and take a chance on it when you can try a diet with real before after pics?

Finding a healthy weight loss diet plan that will work doesn’t have to be hard just remember to make sure the diet’s author is qualified to be giving out advice also look for reviews of the product and make sure other people have had good results with it before you start. You want a healthy weight loss diet plan that has worked for others. If you see a diet showing before and after pictures without showing the person’s face, then the pictures may be fake so don’t waste your trying a shady diet when you can try a diet with real before after pics.

Use these tips and you will achieve your fat loss goals much faster because you will be using a healthy weight loss diet plan that is proven to work.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Sandra asks…

How do I lose weight in my stomach and chest?

I have been running a ton (about 30-40 miles per week) for the last 3 months and my diet is healthy. I have lost some weight but am finding it nearly impossible to lose the gooey fat in my manboobs and stomach. What the heck do I need to do? I do situps and left weights (bench press) all the time. HELP! I look like the poster boy for bitchtits.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You sure the diet is right? Mostly vegetables and fruits, with ample amounts of meat, dairy, and grain.

Incremental exercise is usually the answer when you settle in a rut that you can’t seem to get out of. It’s most clearly exhibited in cardio (your running). When you first do cardio, your body burns a certain amount of energy – lets say 1,000 calories in 30 minutes. But as time goes by and you keep doing cardio constantly, your body adapts, becomes stronger and more efficient,…and eventually burns only 600 calories for the same 30 minute workout. That’s why you have to do increments. Alternate between fast, normal, and sprinting speeds. It keeps your body guessing, up and running, and therefore will always burn as many calories as it did a year ago.

Chris asks…

how to lose weight fast?

how do u lose weight faster

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

if you have time also read this aah…just forget about what all say…like ” go on diet….” “eat less food” bla bla bla!!! Just try out the world’s best solution that is Eat more,lose more!!!

Haha i am not joking..try this out!!

9 WAYS TO REDUCE WEIGHT WITHOUT EATING LESS

( ! ) Don’t starve yourself.

Lowering your calorie intake will make your body reduce the rate at which it changes calories into energy. In other words, reducing calorie intake slows down your metabolism and holds onto your fat. Starving yourself will actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Food is fuel or energy and when you skip meals, you are not working on energy hat can be burned off. As a defense mechanism, your body clings to calories and slows down your weight loss.

(2) Get a breakfast boost.

Connie Dickman, a registered dietician and nutritionist advises not to skip breakfast. According to her, breakfast gives you energy so that you are not starving as the day go on. When you skip breakfast, you become so hungry that you eat more than you should or eat the wrong foods.

(3) Eat complex carbohydrates.

Practice eating complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are found in food such as candy, cereal, softdrinks and ice cream. They are easily absorbed by the body and they stick to the ribs, according to weight loss specialist Dr. Daisy Merey. Simple carbohydrates have a tendency to make you store more fat.

On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are found in pastas, potatoes, beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits contain “good” calories that are easily burned.. In switching from a meat-based diet to the one tat is starch-based, you get the same amount of food with only 25% of the calories, says John McDougall, M.D., Director of the McDougall Program at St. Helena Hospital.

Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are high in complex carbohydrates. You will eat more, but you will lose more, because the feeling of fullness will hinder you from eating high-fat foods that make you gain weight.

(4) Eat Fiber.

Kristine Clark, the Director of Sports Nutrition at Penn State University says that eating high-fiber foods can help people keep their weight under control. Because foods hat are rich in fiber help people to slow down their eating and foods that are high in fiber contain less fat and sugar.

According to Nutrition experts, one should eat 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber a day. There are two kinds of fiber in foods. The soluble and the insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve and thicken in water. Foods that contain soluble fibers include broccoli, zucchini, barley, oat bran, beans and citrus fruits.

Insoluble fibers include skins of fruits and vegetables and the external coatings of wheat kernel.

Fiber is an essential ingredient in one’s diet because the insoluble form prevents constipation. Studies revealed that the soluble fibers play an important role in reducing cholesterol.

(5) Drink water.

Water helps the body break down fat and process waste according to Dr. Denise Bruner, a Virginia bariatrician, describing how water as part of her diet, helped her to shed 62 pounds. One should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day.

(6) Exercise and be active in household work.

T o exercise is one of the best ways to maintain your weight down. Exercise helps you to burn calories. According to Franca Alphin, Nutrition Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in North Carolina, “You can lose weight without exercising, but you won’t maintain the weight loss.” Exercise may not be a major player in weight loss, but it is the number one player in preventing weight gain,” says Jack H. Gilmore, Ph. D.

Inactivity burns fewer calories each day, which are stored as fat. Daniel Kosich, Ph. D., the author of Get Real: A Personal Guide to Real-Life Weight Management and an advisor to Jane Fonda Workouts, says regular activity is a critical part of successful weight loss. It doesn’t have to be a strenuous workout. You can burn calories just by doing ordinary chores such as gardening and housework. “Pushing a mop or vacuum across the floor increases your heart rate and creates resistance ,” says Barbara Baldwin, Information Services Director for the American Running and Fitness Association in Maryland.

“Raking leaves, stroveling snow, sanding, painting and waxing the car are calorie burners.”

According to Laura Gladwin, California-based exercise physiologist, gardening is a great exercise because weeding, pruning and planting require bending and stretching. “You will burn 1,000 calories by doing three-and-a-half hours of garden or yard work in a week,” she says.

Ellen F., a crafter in Coral Springs, Fl, found out that dieting wasn’t enough to help her shed 20 pounds of excess weight.. She joined a low-impact aerobics class at her community center. By doing aerobics excercises for an hour, three times a week, she lost 20 pounds much quicker than simply dieting.

Walking is one of the healthiest, easiest and cheapest form of exercise. Stroll briskly through a park or around your neighborhood. Walking will be more pleasurable if you do it with a friend..

Suzanne Rossa, an exercise physiologist at Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center in West Palm Beach Florida says, “Aerobics excercises improves your circulation , increases blood flow,allow you to have a better blood pressure and decreases the amount of fatty substances in your bloodstream.”

(7) Build muscle.

Tufts University studies revealed that strength training – the kind that builds muscle will raise your metabolic rate, which enable you to burn calories. Strength training does not always follow that your muscles will grow bigger but they will certainly grow stronger.

Daniel Kosich in his book, A Personal Guide to Real Life Weight Management says, “when you make muscles stronger, they burn more calories. That means that for each pound of muscle you build with strength excercises, you burn 20 to 30 calories a day from your resting energy output or about 7,300 calories a year. You can strength train by using machines and free weights such as barbells.

(8) Follow the Pyramid.

The American Diatetic Association recommends a food guide pyramid that serves as a general list of healthful foods that must be eaten daily. The pyramid has four levels. The top of the pyramid is the smallest part , represents fats, oils and sweets. This group includes salad dressings, butter, ice cream, softdrinks, candies and desserts and foods that has very little nutritional value and can make your calories add up to.

At level two of the pyramid are the milk, yogurt, cheese group, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. These foods provide you with protein, calcium, iron and zinc.. ADA recommends two to three servings daily of this group.

The third level represents the vegetable and fruit groups, which are good sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. ADA recommends three to five servings daily of this group.

At the base of the pyramid are the bread, cereal, rice and pasta. ADA recommends 6 to 11 servings of this group. These foods are source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals

(9) Stop taking the following food.

ALCOHOL : a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer contains 150 calories. An

Alcoholic beverage can add 100 to 200 calories to your meal.

Alcohol is stored in the liver as fat.

COCONUT : An ounce of raw coconut contains 100 calories, around 77%

Of which is saturated fat.

CHOCOLATE, CANDY, COOKIES :

They are full of simple carbohydrates, which means they are

High in sugar and fats. The main fat in chocolate is cocoa

butter which is approximately 60% saturated fat.

WHOLE MILK : SWITCH TO SKIM MILK

Whole milk has high content of fat.

SUGAR : Softdrinks has very high sugar content.

MARGARINES : Contain hydrogenated vegetable oils.

This article is an excerpt from the book : EAT MORE, LOSE MORE.

Sandra asks…

What is the best inexpensive weight loss supplement?

I am really trying to get myself to lose 30 to 40 lbs by May or June and I’m looking for a good weight loss supplement to help me out.

Hydroxycut
Hydroxistim
Slim quick

Those are a few I have checked out but not sure if there is a better one than one of those just really need some feedback on which is the best and most effective.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Alli is the only FDA approved OTC diet pill. Orlistat (prescription Alli) and phentermine (Adipex) are the only two FDA prescription drugs. Sibutramine was pulled last year.
Everything else out there including the name knockoffs are unapproved and unproven, loaded with caffeine and vitamins.
You can lose the weight in 3 to 4 months if you do it right.
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
You have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the natural toxins.
Last, you need to get 7-10 hours of quality sleep depending on your age. All recent sleep studies report a connection between poor sleep and weight gain.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.

I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym and have kept it off for two years now. 3% of people that attempt weight loss lose it and keep it off for two years. It is not easy. It is a lifestyle change.
Good luck and good health.

Easy weight loss FAST?

I’m over-weight for my age, and I wanna lose weight. I have exercised so much, and not one pound has fallen off… And don’t get me wrong, I’m perfectly happy with myself, my body, and who I am. But I feel that people would see me differently if i dropped weight. I’d also like to show up the boy I’ve liked for three years who doesn’t notice me because I’m chunky… And i really want to be healthier…

I’m down for anything… But I’m also a student, so it needs to be something achievable with my busy schedule… Anything is helpful, and for those of you who are going to say: Get off your butt and try working out. I have tried, but i need new ideas, and I’m getting desperate.

Every rude comment will be reported, and so will you. Thanks to all the answers though!

weight loss cardiff answers:

The only fast, easy fat loss is surgery…lipo. Exercise is great but not for losing fat. Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet.

Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. And ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn.

Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success.

An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.

Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.

You can’t lose fat fast naturally because your body will start burning lean tissue along with the fat as you make your diet more severe. To find out how best to lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat –> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615QJM4X_3ID9_05qmmlXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111028185603AAVcP4D .

Always remember you’re a work in progress. You won’t have your adult body for another ten years so you’ll be experiencing many changes possibly including weight gains due to natural growth. So, don’t panic if the scale goes up. Track your calories, eat your BMR, and you won’t even need a scale to know you’re burning fat.

When you lose fat, you weigh less and, hence, burn fewer calories. Your BMR will be lower so you’ll have to eat less on maintenance than when you were heavier. And, losing the fat is only the beginning. Once fat is lost, you have to keep it off for the rest of your life and that may include such difficulties as the “Freshman 15”, college drinking culture, soirées and social drinking, pregnancy, somatopause (age-related slowing metabolism), a more sedentary lifestyle, affluence and access to more expensive, tasty, and fattening meals, etc. This truth is born out by the fact the 3 out of 4 adult Americans are overweight or obese. That’s means only 1 in 4 adult Americans has a healthy weight. (See: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hestat/obesity_adult_09_10/obesity_adult_09_10.html ). It only gets more difficult to stay slim as the years roll by. It never gets easier. So, now is the time to establish good eating habits…the kind that will keep you svelt and fit in the days ahead and for the rest of your life.

Paul asks…

Easiest way to loss weight?

Obviously it’s not easy, i mean more.. simple ways to loss weight.

Walking, Dont eat junk food, Running, Jogging?

weight loss cardiff answers:

In the morning if you can wake up pretty early, that’s when you have the most energy! Drink a bottle of water plug in your iPod or whatever and listen to music as you run! — That’s my first step.

Then you go home, eat a really healthy breakfast like fruit salad or something that’s nutritional.

After that you pretty much clean the house or whatever maybe take a walk while its cool, walk your pet dog, if you have one, i like to spend the morning doing that while its not so hot outside!

After that you wait a few hours being active as can be, then you relax a little and do some sit ups and lift weights to your own schedule… And your own statistics like weight height goals.. Or whatever.. That’s what I usually do! And then I like to stretch at the beginning of the day… Ha-ha

SOME EXCERSISES:
1.sit ups
2.crunches
3.push ups
4.running
5.swimming
6.jump rope
7.jumping jacks

MORE TIPS:

chew gum – sugar free. It makes you not snack because if you chew it, you don’t want to snack because then you will have to spit out your gum! Works for me..

That’s my trick tip – now read the losing weight 411

EXTRA: breathing for an hour burns 60 calories, so that’s a little lift off your chest ha-ha
and sleeping is the same rate 🙂

exercise at least 60 minutes a day if you can 🙂
——-
hey, you know what? The most inexpensive weight loss thing to do, is to try to burn more calories than you eat, don’t eat unhealthy like a 500 calorie diet! All that will do is make you sick, you NEED to be healthy to lose weight properly. I’m trying to lose weight too! So basically here are some tips to speed up your metabolism: Drink 1-3 glasses of green tea a day
Try and eat Chili peppers somehow, ((chili)) they help.
8 classes of water a day

the more active you are, the faster your metabolism will grow to be.

Did you know that breathing for an hour burns 60 calories all on its own? And SLEEP is very important, try to go to sleep on time and get your ages average amount of sleep,. Ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you is, and then after you have reached that goal do sit ups and crutches – among many other core exercises, Run to slim out, and make sure you burn more calories than you eat – had to repeat that!

Fruits and veggies are REALLY low in calories and FULL of nutrition. Do you like Tacos? Ditch the hard shell, maybe try a taco salad.. Without the shell of course! Lettuce with meat is good, but PLEASE tries mixing it with turkey and beef so that it isn’t all fat. Chicken salad is good, you want the protein but you don’t want fried anything really, once in a while if fine but remember – YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA CALORIES. Exercises exercise exercise. Don’t over do it – don’t starve , be moderate and stay active. GOOGLE: 100 ways to burn 100 calories, there are some pretty cool things you can do!

Stay away from starchy and high carb foods – mostly white things. Bread is a bad, so try to stick to thin, HIGH in fiber, slices 🙂

you can Google all the stuff and before you know it you will feel so good about it all and IM actually excited to start working out and all that, just because I know what it will do for me!

But if you must go with a diet, try Weight Watchers, its the only one I actually recommend. 🙂

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Posted on by

Lizzie asks…

What is average weight loss for one week?

I was wondering if anyone knew what an average weight loss per week is. I started eating healthy last week at around 1200 calories *because I wasn’t yet working out* and lost 4 pounds. Now, I’ve started eating around 1600 calories because I’m alternating with aerobics and pilates and I have already lost 2 more pounds. I want the weight that I lose to stay off *just had a baby and had a few extra pounds after getting married!* What do doctors recommend losing, and if I’m losing too much, should I add more calories or willthe weight loss taper off after a few weeks?

Healthy weight loss is around 2 pounds a week but that can be done at a way higher rate depending on the diet

Sharon asks…

What is the best way to burn fat after a rapid weight loss?

I was recently taken off of a steroid medication (prednisone) and thus, lost a significant amount of weight quite rapidly as the medication was reduced. In total, I lost about 50 pounds within the span of a few months.

Unfortunately, due to the sheer speed of the weight loss, this has left me with some awkward fat around my chest and stomach. I’m quite slim now (6’1″ and 145 lbs) but in need of some toning and trimming.

Which types of exercises are most efficient in eliminating/reducing residual fat? I’m hesitant to jump straight to muscle toning because I have read from a few sources that muscle in fact builds behind fat – not reducing it, but instead pushing it out further.

Any techniques/styles/routines etc. that aim to burn fat are most appreciated.

Thank you!

Eat Fat burn Foods like

Almonds and other nuts (with skins intact) – Build muscle, reduce cravings

Dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese) – Build strong bones, fire up weight loss
Eggs – Build muscle, burn fat
Turkey and other lean meats – Build muscle, strengthen immune system
Berries – Improve satiety, prevent cravings
Enova oil (soy and canola oil) – Promotes fullness, not easily stored as fat
Peanut butter – Boosts testosterone (a good thing even in women), builds muscle, burns fat
Fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel) – Trigger fullness, fire up fat burning
Grapefruit – Lowers insulin, regulates blood sugar and metabolism; be sure to eat the fleshy white membranes
Green tea – Fires up fat burning
Chili peppers – Spikes metabolism
Spinach and green vegetables – Fight free radicals and improve recovery for better muscle building
Whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, whole grain cereal)- Small doses prevent body from storing fat

Charles asks…

What type of supplements should I be taking for weight loss?

Just not sure what I should be taking for weight loss. Some people say whey during the day and casein at night, would this work for weight loss? I work out everyday, just not sure what will assist in the goal of thin and beautiful. Currently at 160, aiming for 145 by July. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
