3 large (not huge) meals a day to lose weight?

I have an uncle who is losing weight by eating 3 meals a day and not 5 or 6 small meals a day. He was talking about it and from what I understood you have an hour to eat a meal including any beverages other than water. Not saying that you should eat as much as you can for an hour but just make sure you are done within that hour. After that anything else that you eat your body stores as fat. Even drinking pop. If you drink water in between then that’s fine because water doesn’t have anything in it of course. From what they had found is that this rule makes the whole eating 5 or 6 times a day worse for you because your body stores those extra 2 or 3 small meals or snacks as fat. Your body might be doing something else with this extra food that is bad but I thought he said that it turns to fat. I could be wrong. He said he can eat whatever he wants because there is no snacking in between. So he eats more fruits and veggies but can also eat stuff like burgers and pizza and not have to worry about it not being real healthy. It is working really well for him and I was wondering if anyone else has heard of this. Any information would be appreciated. I need to lose weight and want to know the best way to go about changing my eating habits.

Thomas asks…

Is 3 hours of exercise a day enough to lose weight?

I want to lose 30 pounds in 4 months. I’m 14, 5’6, 168 pounds. During July I was 184 pounds, that time I only exercised for 1 hour or 1 hour and 30 minutes plus I ate a lot due to me taking steroids (medical conditions.) I want to be 140 in 4 months because by that time I’m meeting some relatives for the first time, I want to give a good first impression. So I was thinking now that I eat less(no more steroids) and exercise for 3 hours a day. Is that enough for me to lose about 30 pounds in 4 months?
But! Used to exercise for 1 hour and 30 minutes and someone said I was being lazy and that’s not enough. 🙁
Okay, okay so let’s remove the 30 pounds and the 4 months, IS 3 hours a day of exercise okay? This guy told me an exercise work out for 30 minutes three times a day, is being really lazy. I don’t want to be lazy. 🙁 My neurologist told me I should only exercise for 10 minutes about 3 months ago. But poo, 10 minutes? That’s barely anything. And I think exercising a lot more can help me get cured. What do you think?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Excersizing 3 hours a day will cause an injury, your body can’t handle that much. You will lose weight at first, then you will sustain some sort of injury that will hold you back. If you want to lose weight, eat healthy and excersize 45mins-hour 5-6 days a week at the most. Your body needs at least one day to recover and heal itself.

John asks…

For getting in shape and losing weight, should I swim 3 days a week or 6?

I’m at about 280 lbs, and I’m trying to cut down closer to 200lbs. I have been on a better diet and strength training for about a month which seems to be working well. This week I joined the Y and started swimming before work. My question is, in order to get into good shape and lose the weight, would it be more beneficial to swim 3 days a week (Tu-Th-Sat) for 60 minutes at a time, or 6 days a week (Mon-Sat) for 30 minutes at a time? I get to the pool at 6am.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
Eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast – they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner – repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
Ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Maria asks…

how long and how often do you have to exercise to lose weight quickly?

I have been doing turbo jam every day except saturdays, since August 1 2006. I do 45 minutes of cardio everyday and add strength training 3 days a week at night. I also eat under 1200 calories a day and drink plenty of water including Crystal Light. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I look smaller in the chest area but then other times i look the same size. I just wanted to know if there are other people out there who have lost weight doing what I have been doing and how fast did they lose weight and also what are the first fat areas to disappear?

weight loss cardiff answers:

1. Doing cardio in the morning will burn 300% more fat than any other time during the day.
2. Not doing cardio at your heart rate will either burn sugar or not burn anything. Target heart rate depends on age mostly, and your doc can tell you what your target heartrate is. If anything you can get an idea of what your target heart rate by using this formula:
Fat Burning Zone = (220-Your Age) x (0.75)
That will give you a rought number, and if you keep within 8-10 points of it, you’re good.
3. Doing more than 40 min of cardio is over kill really.
4. Doing cardio any other time than morning before breakfast wastes 20 min of that cardio. It takes your body 20 min to start burning fats, so if you can’t do it in the morning, do it at least 2-3 hours after meals, and do some light weight training before that for 15 or so min or more if you want.
5. Having more muscle burns more fat. I’m not talking about bulging out, just a little tone, and a little muscle everywhere to look toned after you get all the weight you want off. 🙂
6. Your body needs a certain amount of calories, protein, carbs and even fats each day, so don’t cut that out completely.
7. Drink .6 ounces of water for each pound of your body weight. So Body Weight x .6 = how much water you should drink a day.
That’s the best way to do it, it will take a few weeks but you’ll start burning it off pretty fast and put one some muscle to have a very nice toned and slim body 🙂

Hope that helped!

Donald asks…

What is the best way to lose weight in 2 weeks?

Ive been going to the gym about 3 days a week and i want to lose weight for Flordia. I’ve been have cravings though. What are some good foods to eat that will help me lose weight but help those cravings? Please help =) thank you

much love <33

weight loss cardiff answers:

Usually if you eat some type of lean protein at every meal, it will help you stay fuller longer. That helps with cravings as well as eating 5-6 small meals a day. Other than that, just try to limit yourself. If you totally deny yourself for a long length of time, you have a tendency to really overindulge when you eat the “forbidden” food again.

So far I work out only 3 days a week about 45 minutes and eat whatever/whenever I feel like it.

That’s a good amount of calories just make sure you drink alot of water about 76 ounces a day for your weight

Skin and bones diet?

Steven asks…

How many calories should I be eating with daily yoga?

I do two hours of yinyasa flow every day and two hours of gymnastics per week. Before the yoga, I ate 1,800 calories. Should I up the amount I eat? I’m getting different answers from online calculators. Thank you! P.S. I’m looking for how much I should eat for weight loss.
I read that vinyasa flow burns about 500 calories per hour.
Oops, sorry about that.
I’m 5 1” and 140 pounds. I’m recovering from multiple eating disorders, so it’s a little high.

weight loss cardiff answers:

You should aim to have they same amount of calories each day. Regardless of how many hours yoga or gymnastics you do. Although, your weight, height and age is needed to calculate the recommended amount of calories per day.

Joseph asks…

How do you figure out the percentage of body weight lost after losing 13 pounds?

Weird question, I know. But some employees at work are doing a little weight–loss challenge. The person who loses the most “percentage” after 6 weeks wins. So far, everyone has lost 13 pounds each. They all understand that the person who started with the lowest weight is ahead of the percentage game so far, but now it’s game on!! They only have a week and a half left … one of the girls weighed 216, one weighed 180 and the other weighed 170. How can they calculate how much percentage of weight they’ve actually lost? Hope you can help.
PS – if you have something rude or ignorant to say, don’t bother replying.
What I meant, is take for example the 180 pound person – she lost 13 pounds. How much would that 13 pounds work out to be percentage-wise? Like how much percentage of her body weight did she lose? How much did the others lose? Can you tell I totally suck at math? lol
Mama Gretch, you rock! Thanks for not only answering my question, but figuring out everything for me as well. Now I get it, and will pass the info on.
Tried to chose your answer as the best one, but the system will only allow me to do so after 24 hours. I’ll be back then to do that.
Thanks to the others who answered as well.

weight loss cardiff answers:

OK – I’ve done the math for you (not too hard once you know the equation!) To figure out a percentage of weight lost (or percentage of anything), you would divide the number of pounds lost by the starting weight. For instance:

13 pounds lost/216 pounds starting weight = 6% loss
13 pounds lost/180 pounds starting weight = 7.2% loss
13 pounds lost/170 pounds starting weight = 7.6 % loss

If everyone lost the same amount of weight, the winner would always be the person who weighed the least to begin with.

LOL jayj… Santa needs to get you a new calculator for Christmas! No problem, and tell your colleagues to keep up the good work (wish I could do as well…)

Donna asks…

would dieting cause a flatchest and droopy face? How could I lose weight and avoid that at the same time?

Im currently on a low-carb diet in which i only eat healthy food such as veggies and protein, and avoid fat and sugar completely. I workout for 30mins-1 hour daily. I’m concerned about getting a flatchest or droopy cheeks due to the weight loss. Is there any way i can lose weight effectively without those happening?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you do it the wright way by losing weight healthely 1-2lbs a week.
Find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
