Steven asks…

easy to follow weight loss plans for busy people?

I’ve lost a few pounds and feel I’m stuck at my weight now and can’t lose anymore. I work 12-14 hr shifts so it’s sometimes hard to cook a healthy meal or workout the days I work. I do get alot of fast food, but I’ve changed mostly to ordering salads or subway. Does anyone have any suggestions for fast healthy meals that I can make quickly and that will be good for work to? Good workout routines if you only have 3 days a week to work out?
BTW…I’ve lost almost 15 lbs. in 2.5 months just by swiching to salads when getting fast food and subway.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Wow, what do you do for a living? My best suggestion is to, on one of your days off, to go nuts with cooking stuff you can reheat later on, like soups to freeze, cold roast meats, spaghetti, etc. You could also take those things to work. If all else fails, just have a huge salad on standby when you get home and add a small can of flavoured tuna.
How long do you have on those 3 days where you can work out? It’d be a good idea to join a gym and get a personal trainer to tailor a program for you to optimise weight loss. If you can’t get to a gym, buy a cheap cross trainer, a jump rope and some light weights so you can work out at home.

easy weight loss plan?

i am 12, weigh 150, am 5 foot 3. What can i do to lose weight fast so that kids at school don’t tease me any more?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi! Okay, here is a good plan. I suggest it to everyone because it’s not scary, strict, difficult, or dangerous. It helps you lose weight at a good pace and become more fit and healthy.

1. Find out how many calories your body currently burns on a daily basis/how many it needs.Using the calculator on freedieting.com and assuming that you are FEMALE, I found that you burn 1456 calories a day without doing anything. You should probably do a 500 calorie deficit, so subtract 500 and you get 956 calories. You should have between 956 and 1056 daily.
2. Start exercising. Go on a 20-30 minute brisk walk every day. Do 30 sit-ups. Do 20 push ups.
3. Eat organic foods, eat high protein, don’t eat any wheat products.
4. Drink a minumum of 5 water bottles a day.
5. Talk a multivitamin, calcium, and Omega-3 Fatty Acids. They’re good for fat burn.
6. Snack on veggies and fruits… More veggies, though, because fruit has lots of sugar.

Hope this helps!

Sharon asks…

Losing weight by cutting calories? Please answer!!?

I know if you limit your calories you can lose weight…I think I was born doing that because I usually eat less than 1,000 per day (500-700 depending on if I cook dinner) which makes you think I’d gain weight easily if I don’t lose it from cutting cals…wrong…I lose weight easily but I seem to stay at the same amount, meaning if I try and gain weight, the next week it’s all gone, if I lose a few pounds I gain it back but a little slower than losing what I’ve gained, if that makes sense. I want to try and lose 20 pounds so I can shop a little easier for lingerie.

Please see my previous question regarding my stats – http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At3JTFaTnJfL.UR7k0RzZl3sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071227160810AAY0nQc

So how many calories do I need to cut each day in order to do this? I currently exercise 3-5 days a week for 15-20 minutes doing cardio and some toning, should I increase this or stop altogether?
If I eat too much food/calories, I feel sluggish, so I eat until I feel satisfied, which included veggies, very little meat as I hate the taste and texture and I try to eat fruit everyday. Why does my body hate me? 🙁

weight loss cardiff answers:

First of all, I believe you’re eating too little. You should eat at least 1200 calories per day depending on your height and weight. By eating only minimal calories, you are in turn slowing down your metabolism which will eventually cause you to not be able to burn fat. Be sure to eat lean things like chicken and tuna, with plenty of fruits and veggies in between. I think you should also turn up your cardio sessions (at least 30-45 minutes) and then do you toning routine. I really hope this helps you. 🙂

David asks…

How can I lose weight?

I’m 5′ 9″ and i weigh over 220 pounds… i really dont look it though. I cant post a link in it because yahoo always deletes my questions when i do that.

Ive been succesful in weight loss before (i lost 10 pounds two summers ago but gained all of it back), but my problem is that I get bored easily and I can never stay committed.

Does anybody have any ideas?? I want to slim down before I start high school next school year. My goal is to lose 40-50 pounds and I dont care how long it takes me.

Also, my mom has lost over 70 pounds since the beginning of 2010. I try what she does but ity didnt really work for me. So I know its possible but I need more ideas to lose weight.

Any diets, FUN workouts (things like zumba),, and any other tips would help me. Thanks so much!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I can suggest you to try 4 following diets: Porridge diet, Diet of the workaholic, Six-day diet, Sea diet. Read following article for more info about each of them.

How can i lose weight easily? (teenagers)?

I’m a teen and i think i’m a bit overweight. I’d like to lose weight and become a healthier person. How can i lose weight easily?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Health does not always equate to weight.
To lose a few kg,try making small changes to your diet.
Don’t try anything too drastic that may be hard to maintain.
A glass of water before each meal for instance.
Smaller serves.
A little change in your exorcise regime.
Good luck with whichever method you choose.

Ken asks…

how can a teenager lose weight easily?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It should be the EASIEST as a teenager. I’m 24 and still trying to lose some of the fat built up as a teenager. I lost 12 pounds in three weeks. All I did was cut fast food out of my diet and hit the gym every other day for two hours straight with the emphasis on cardio. I’m not sure what your school’s gym is like, but if it doesn’t seem safe, don’t even bother. Instead just try out for every sports team your school has to offer. But instead of trying to make the team, just be there to be active. You’ll be surprised at how many calories you’ll end up burning off and the weight will come off. Good luck.

George asks…

Help in finding a WEIGHT LOSS calculator?

I’m looking for a site where you can input your daily calorie intake and your exercise level and find out (let’s say) how much weight you could lose in a week.

I DON’T want a site which asks for your current weight and goal weight only to tell you how many calories you should eat to reach your goal weight.

Even when I search ‘calculating weight loss‘ I only get sites for calorie calculators. I don’t want a calorie calculator.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try this,

myfitnesspal.com

It has all that, you create an account and put in what you’ve eaten and what exercises you have done and it will tell you how much weight you will possibly loose if you stick to that diet & exercises.

I use it and its helped me a lot!

Chris asks…

How reliable is this weight loss calculator?

Obviously there are a lot of factors involved in effective weight loss but as a rough guide does this seem ok?

http://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php

Do you know a more reliable calculator?

-x-

weight loss cardiff answers:

Rather acurate unless you have some disease like diabetes. Here’s the basic formula (calories consumed – calories burned)divided by 3500 = lbs of fat lost or gained. There are 3500 calories in a pound of fat. The calculator takes it a step further and roughly estimates how many calories you’ll burn factoring in you height, weight and age.

The calculator doesn’t account for the weight gained from muscle as you increase activity level. Muscle weighs more than fat. However it appears to be a very good estimator.

Nancy asks…
