So what is the most/least possible pounds i can lose in 2 weeks and how like what diet plans or how much exercise or how i should exercise or whatever

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to rid yourself of fat around your stomach, you may need to totally ignore the bathroom scale. The human body maintains an energy in the form of fat or muscle even after a person goes on an extreme calorie reduced diet. Anorexic sufferers see the energy reserve (fat) and continue to try and lose it through starvation. That doesn’t work.

Please recognize that muscle is seven times as efficient (pound for pound) as fat tissue in providing an energy reserve. In other words, you can choose to build up two pounds of muscle tissue on your torso, or you can continue to store 14 pounds of fat around your stomach. If you are like me, you’d rather become involved in a free weight training program that will build muscle and decrease your fat energy reserve.

You can lose weight rapidly by changing your food choices. The optimal diet is a Whole Food, Plant Based (WFPB) diet. You will see a loss of about 5 pounds in two weeks if you merely change to a WFPB diet and give up excess sugar, salt, oils, fat, flavor enhancers, MSG, aspartame, and other food additives. Giving up most meat and milk can give you quick results, but over the long-term, you want a very healthy, balanced, diverse, mostly plant based diet. The initial weight loss will be a combination of fat, muscle, retained water, and waste products in your bowels. Over the long-term, you BMI will become optimal by eating a WFPB diet. This is a lifestyle, not just a temporary diet.

Mandy asks…

How can I loose a lot of weight in 2 weeks?

I eat somewhat healthily and exercise anyway, but I have an event in 2 weeks that I’d like to lose weight for. I need a specific diet/exercise plan. That doesn’t cost money.
10 pounds would be great. Thank you!
Oh, I’m also vegan.

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you do your food shopping, dont buy anything except fruits & veggies, and just have a fruit or vegetable (uncooked!) every time you get hungry. Also, work out like crazy for an hour or so a day. If you are that fat, none of this will work in 2 weeks, but if your looking to loose like 5-10lbs then go for it. It works every time for me.

Thomas asks…

How much weight did your baby gain at their 2 week check up?

I know most baby’s lose weight the 1st week then start gaining it back and are usually back to their birth weight by 2 weeks. I was just curious as to how much more your baby weighed at their 2 week check up than at birth.

weight loss cardiff answers:

She was born at 7 pounds even. And at the two week check up she was 7 pounds 3 ounces. Her doctor was pleased.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Michael asks…

fast, easy weight loss tips.?

i have asked many qustins like this and havent gottne the answer i wanted yet. heres my situation. i dont like the way i look and really wanna look pretty for the begiing of the new year. the thing is i can cook, but the things that turn out well are limited. i dont have great stamina so i can run but i can dance. i also do DDR which is good. i would rather have a strict easy diet that will help me loose weight. anything and everythign is appreciated.

weight loss cardiff answers:

1.Set goals. You’ll be better able to make a realistic weight loss plan if you know how much weight you want to lose.
2.Identify your weaknesses. Are you a bread fiend? Do you have dessert after every meal and every snack? Is McDonald’s your second home? Find the weakness and throttle it. It does not own you, you are stronger and cooler than to allow some silly little craving to knock you off your path.
3.Throw away anything you know is tempting. Those cinnamon buns with 500 calories each? Gone. The ramen noodles in your cabinet? Gone. The problem is that this is not always feasible. Often times we are not the only ones in our homes and therefore the call of the food must be withstood. In this case, out of sight truly is out of mind. Put unhealthy, unfilling foods in a drawer or in a cabinet that you rarely use. Put them all together to make a particularly unappetizing sight. Don’t place them all in a decorative basket out on the counter. Place them in a drawer. A drawer heaping with pastries rarely looks like anything but a drawer of fat.
4.Eat less, but eat more often. If possible, eat 4-5 meals a day. This helps your metabolism and blood sugar to stay level as well. This does require a change in your schedule. Eat less within 6 hours of your bed time. You’re less likely to burn the calories closer to your bed time. It’s fine to eat a large breakfast and lunch because your body will be working on burning those calories for the whole day. Large dinners are likely to go unburned and converted into fat.
5.Do not skip breakfast. If you don’t have time to prepare breakfast, buy healthy breakfast bars or those smoothies on the go. It is important to eat breakfast to jump start your metabolism and give you energy for the day. Otherwise you will probably end up falling back on unhealthy foods during the day. Yogurt is also known to boost your metabolism.
6.Eat healthy snacks when you feel hungry between meal times. Healthy snacks would be things high in fiber, fruits and vegetables. Avoid high sugar and high calorie snacks. This will help you get nutrients as well as help lower your appetite so you won’t overeat during meals.
7.Increase your fiber intake. Fiber acts as negative calories. It’s also filling and healthy for your digestive system. Make it a part of every meal.
8.Eat slowly and chew more. Take time to enjoy your meals. This will help you to finish at the same time as others, and you’ll not be tempted by a second helping. Also, chewing more will ensure you get the most out of all the food and it will be digested faster. The more you chew, the more your appetite will be satiated.
9.Drink more water every day. Stay hydrated. While you don’t need 8 cups of water a day to stay hydrated, it’ll make sure you’re hydrated as well as cut down on your hunger levels and force you to get a little bit more exercise (trips to the sink, water cooler, water fountain, and bathroom). If you’re a heavy soda drinker, permit yourself to only one diet soda per day, maximum. Just one extra soda each day can add 15 pounds. Recently, fizzy drinks, even diet ones, have been said to slow down metabolism.
10.Increase physical activity. There are two ways to reduce net caloric intake: 1) reduce the number of calories in your diet and 2) Increase the number of calories that you burn in your daily activities. Both approaches are usually necessary and healthful and both are effective in losing weight. You can pick and choose which exercise you want to do, depending on your fitness level and drive. For example: walking, jogging, using the stair stepper, using cross training machines, swimming, tennis, and basketball. Weight training (and resistance training) can help reshape your body. The more muscle you have the higher your metabolism will be.
11.Find active friends. Find people that will drag you out to do more active things. It doesn’t have to be much, but any exercise even walking around the mall is better than none.
12.Don’t get discouraged. After one or two weeks of initial weight loss, it is quite common for your metabolism to slow down as it adjusts to the new calorie count. Stay on course and you’ll see results. In some cases, the scale will tell you your weight is barely changing, but you may be gaining muscle weight while losing fat weight. Also make sure to weigh yourself first thing in the morning to try to avoid the fluctuations in weight due to water.
13.Take all advice with a grain of salt. Everyone is going to have some tidbit of information for you. What worked for them might not work for you. Take it all in stride and work with what is getting results for you. Trying to do everything everyone says will only cause overload.
14.Eat more protein. If you choose to go this route, do not cut out all carbs. If you do so, as soon as you start eating carbs again you will regain your weight back. Instead of eating stand alone pasta, throw some meatballs or chicken in. Eat some beans, they are high in protein and very healthy for you. Increase the ammount of protein, but not by too much. The more protein you take in, the more water you should drink as well.
15.Eat less calories. The average woman should eat around 2,000 calories a day and the average male 2,500. There’s many ways to reduce the calories you intake. Try not to eat frozen dinners, pizza, or from fast food joints. There’s also certain drinks, such as Green Tea that are calorie reducers. Lettuce is another calorie reducer, but be careful because dressing tends to have the calories. Low fat/light vinnegette, balsomic vineger, red wine and vineger are pretty healthy dressings, but do not load it on.

weight loss diets for vegans?

like a diet plan for fast and easy weight loss

weight loss cardiff answers:

Vegans usually are not overweight…. Just undernourished. There is no such thing as fast and east weight loss… Especially if you are already a vegan. The only correct way is to count calories and get more exercise than calories… Then you lose weight.

Susan asks…

Where to buy real hCG diet weight loss drops?

I’m currently in preparation for the hCG diet. I want to loose 50lbs by new years. I would like to know a few things from people who have used hCG in the past. Where to buy real hCG diet drops? Please specify what brand of you used. How to make the diet easier? Any good recipes and foods to eat with the hCG diet would be helpful as well.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I tried Green Web HCG about 6 months ago and did not have a good experience at all. After sharing my experiences on a weight loss forum someone recommended Pharmaslim HCG and directed me to their blog where they recorded all of they’re meals and weigh-ins day by day while using Pharmaslim. I was impressed so i ordered a bottle in April and dropped 25 lbs in the first 42 day cycle. It’s one of the only hCG weight loss formulas available that offers a money back guarantee. Highly recommended, just be sure to prepare yourself for the diet, believe me it can be very hard to limit yourself to 500 calories per day.

George asks…

What are some good workouts/diet plans to do to lose 10-15 lbs in 4 weeks? (no diets pills, berries, tea, etc)?

I want to lose weight, but I cant waste any money on pills, berries, tea, etc. What are some good diet plans(calorie wise) and exercises to help me lose the weight? I need help soon!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I cannot guarantee anything, but it helped me to try one program. Try it, youe nothing to lose.

Diets have come and gone and a new one will be invented tomorrow promising you everything and delivering very little. That is because they are considered something you go on and then go off. In other words, they are temporary. That is not to say they are useless just that they will never give you continued success unless you change some things permanently.

What is a Diet Good for?

Diets have their place in your weight loss goals. First of all, they can be beneficial to jump starting your metabolism. Kind of a fire starter if you will. A jump-start will give you more energy and the initial weight loss can boost your self-confidence.

However, you will need to be ready to make some whole life changes if you want the results to be permanent. What are some changes you will need to make? Well a lot of that depends on you.

Lifestyle Changes- Fast Food

Are you a fast food junkie who eats out at least a couple of times per week? If so, you will find that you have plenty of company. Many people are so busy that the drive through is a perfect solution for dinner, lunch and even breakfast. The problem is many have no idea that one meal from a fast food restaurant can contain nearly a whole day’s caloric intake.

One popular fast food joint has a burger that is 750 calories! The burger alone is a third of your recommended daily allowance; add the fries and a drink and you are done for the day.

Does this mean you can never have fast food again? Not necessarily, but it will mean that you have to be aware of what you are eating. Most fast food places have a website that contains all the nutritional information for the foods they serve. Check them out then make you a list of “safe” fast foods.

Exercise Changes

If you never move your body more than from the house to the car to work and back you will have a hard time losing weight and keeping it off. The human body functions best when there are periods of exercise. It increases mood stabilizers in the blood stream and best of all burns calories.

While you are on your diet, take the time to incorporate exercise into your life. You will feel better and increase your weight loss rates exponentially. Start with a walk, park further away from the store or your office. Then as you progress, find time to walk more or jog. Whatever you can comfortably fit in your schedule will be a great place to start.

Healthy Eating

This is absolutely the most important part of all. While you are on your chosen diet, you will want to become familiar with healthier food choices. Find ways to make your favorite foods better for you. Can you substitute ground turkey for ground beef in some recipes? Learn new recipes that include fresh fruits and vegetables.

You see your body needs several things to function at a healthy level. Proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals just to name a few. You also need certain fats to cushion joints and protect your vital organs. Create a lifestyle eating plan that brings all of these elements into play and you will feel amazing and best of all you will be able to lose weight and keep it off.
