Your Questions About Weight Loss

Helen asks…

*diets…..*?

this is a dumb question but i just HAVE to know. are teens )ages 12-15) supposed to be on diets? i hear both sides, one thats its ok to be on a diet as long as you get enough nutrition, and others say you’re not because it’ll mess up your growth. all i wanna be is skinny but my mom says i dont need to lose weight (long long long story short, i was bulimic. i loss wieght but i wasnt really, just looked leaner and more toned) and so yes, are “growing bodies” alright to be on diets???

weight loss cardiff answers:

You can eat foods with lots of calories such as rice and chicken. Just eat 3 meals a day without snacks in between. My grandma makes food with lots of calories, but she doesn’t eat snacks. Therefore, she is THIN. If you follow my advice, you will be thin in no time!

Lisa asks…

Diets?????

Hey guys I’ve tried many diets— they just aren’t working for me. I need to lose at least 20 pounds… any good diets or tips?

Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Let me show you what worked for me. No long winded speeches, no fad diet nonsense here. Eat what you like. Just keep it to1200 calories a day (healthier is better obviously) and sweat and I mean SWEAT!! For 30-40 minutes a day 6-7 days a week (60 minutes if you can manage it). Remember the more you sweat the more you can add to your eating plan. Write down everything you eat with calorie content. This will give you an overall look at where you need to make changes. Don’t eat after 6 pm ever. Don’t cheat, you’re only fooling yourself and don’t skip workouts. You should be losing about between 2-3 pounds a week, which is a healthy rate without starving yourself…Good luck!

James asks…

What diets would you consider extreme and unhealthy?

I’m trying to do research about obesity and dieting habits in America. A lot of the diets I am seeing are pretty brutal. What are the craziest diets you have taken? Do you know anyone who has jeopardized their health from dieting? And what extremes have you gone to?

weight loss cardiff answers:

People that do only the one part of the master cleanse. I.e. Distilled water, lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper. When they do it for more than 3 days, it can be very unhealthy since your body isn’t getting minerals like sodium and potassium which are pretty much necessary for your heart to beat!!

I had a friend who did this for 10 days and he lost weight alright, he lost muscle!! He also had decreased brain function….

Robert asks…

What are some fad diets that actually work?

I really want to lose about 10-15 pounds in about a month or so. I’ve always wanted to try fad diets and decided that I think this might be the right time to do it so I can lose some belly fat before swimsuit season. Anyone have any diets that they think might work? Of course i’m also going to be exercising but need some tips on what to eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Fad diets don’t work on the long term, if they did, you’ll see them everywhere. High chances are that if you do lose 10 – 15 pounds in a month, you’ll likely gain it back very quickly. A regular diet is your best choice. Eating junk foods once in a while is fine, majority of the time you want to eat the foods you know you should be eating, in other words more cooking, less buying microwavable junk.

Nancy asks…

What are some fad diets that actually worked for you?

Diets that involve either packaged meals or ways to eat, like Nutrisystem. I want people to only speak from experience here. I know Nutrisystem seems great but the food like really disgusting and I would not eat it everyday. I don’t want to know about Weight Watchers either. I exericse regularly but I need a good eating pattern. Not looking to be told to eat plenty of vegetables and acai berries. Looking for input on fad meal planning diets. Thanks!
