weight loss cardiff answers:

Check this site out to see if you should be concerned with losing weight: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/. It’s your BMI (ratio of your HEIGHT to your WEIGHT), set by the government to the standards for Americans. Healthy weight is not set using age and weight.

What you should do is change your eating habit to a healthier one and start exercising (people tell you this over and over because it WORKS!).

Disclaimer: I don’t recommend any diet to you or anyone, but I just wanted to share my experience. You should talk to your nutritionist/doctor before making any drastic changes to your body.

What I did was I went on an “eating-only-corn-flakes” diet. XD I lost the weight really quickly (~25 lbs). After a 2-3 weeks of eating only corn flakes with regular milk for breakfast/lunch/dinner (NO snacks whatsoever). (You can try it with skim, 1%, or 2% milk to lose even more weight.) I went off the diet and started eating normal, and healthy foods, with A LOT of water and tons of fruits. I’m able to keep off the weight I’ve lost for ~6 years now. At summer camp, I’ve also went on a cereal-salad-and-skim milk “diet”. For breakfast, I would only eat grain cereal with skim milk and drink another glass. For lunch and dinner each day, I had only a salad and two glasses of skim milk per meal. Camp was only 5 days, but I lost a considerable amount of weight for my father to notice my weight loss. XD

Currently, I’ve been exercising. I have an “air-stepper” at home, and I get on it for 15 minutes each day to get my cardio workout. I take my pulse at 5 min. Intervals for 15 minutes to see if I’m improving. ^_^ Then, I get on my Total Gym and start working on my arms and legs (pulling, pushing, etc.). To tone my abs, I do 200 crunches (I lay on my Total Gym at an incline, so it’s VERY easy and no back strain!); they are much easier than sit-ups. ^_^ Lastly, I do 100 of those “standing-up” crunches. I don’t know what to call them, but I saw it on Hip-Hop Abs. You can see a sample of it here: http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/hip_hop_abs.do?code=HIPHOPABSDOTCOM

The lay down crunches and the standing up crunches that I do gave me the flat stomach I have now. ^____^ Very happy with the results. You can do as many as your body can tolerate for ONE day and feel your stomach flatter immediately afterwards (at least for me)! It’s incredible!

If you do not have gym equipment, just jumping around and running place for 15-30 minutes will get you your cardio workout. Eat yogurt, fruits, and other health foods. Drink tons of water and your daily dosage of milk. ^_^

Good luck! 😀

Charles asks…

How can i lose weight fast?

Is there a way to lose weight fast and easily…?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Loosing weight fast is always an unhealthy thing.
There are many diets who tell you that you can loose a lot of weight in no time. And it is working, but you are doing no good to your body. And there’s also the Jojo-effect.
The best thing to lose and hold a healthy weight is healthy food, less sugar, lots of drinking water, and sports.
Diet has to begin in your head. And you already started to think about your nutrition. That’s an important step. It is too easy just to make a magazine-diet for 2-3 weeks and loose some weight. But it will come back soon again. If you are over-thinking your nutrition and activity, you will have a constantly good result. Isn’t that much better and healthier than a crash-diet ?

Steven asks…

How can I lose weight easily?

I am 13 and SUPER DUPER self conscious of myself!! I’m about 5’7 and weigh like 130 pounds!! I really want to wear a bikini but im WAY to self conscious to!! And please don’t tell me like your fine or you don’t need too lose weight i cry like every night because of it! Whats a simple way I can lose weight fast??

weight loss cardiff answers:

Let me tell you the truth. You feel self conscious right? Which means you feel ugly and fat? Did you know its not weight that matters but confidence? Everything shows in the way you smile and the way you hold yourself up. Trust me no matter how skinny you get, you will feel unsatisfied. I suggest you drink hot tea or water instead of soda, and when eating protein, eat alot of vegetables. Exercise regularly not excessively.

Linda asks…

How to lose weight in 3 days?

I am a 16 year old girl and I need to lose weight! You are all probably thinking, why does she need to lose weight and why in 3 days? It’s because I have school starting on Monday so I need to lose about how much I possibly can, so people can see that I have changed.

Don’t put harsh or stupid answers please! Thanks for your answers! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Don’t take this as harsh, but you have an unrealistic goal.

Dietitians say that healthy weight loss is 2-5 lbs a week. So max, you wouldn’t lose more than that before school starts. If you want to lose weight, you’re going to have to devote more time to it. Sure, it won’t be right at the beginning of school, but people will still notice.

I suggest you look at what you’re eating. Make sure it’s healthy food, and the portions aren’t too large. Also try to add in regular exercise, that way you burn off some of the calories you do eat.

If you lose weight in a healthy way, it’s more likely that you’ll keep off the weight in the long term.

I hope that helped 🙂

Betty asks…

Could I lose weight eating 3 meals a day, consisting of one piece of fruit and a coffee?

Could I lose weight eating 3 meals a day, consisting of one piece of fruit and a coffee per meal? I wouldn’t be doing much exercise, maybe just lifting weights an hour a day. – Oh and how much weight might I lose per week? 🙂

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Don’t do that. It is totally unhealthy and you will make yourself sick. The best way to lose weight is to exercise and eat well balanced meals, just eat less and leave out the junk food. Make it a life style change instead of just a diet. You will lose the weight more slowly, but it will be more likely to stay off because you will have changed the way you eat and exercise.

Ruth asks…

How can I lose weight in 3 days?

So Im going on holiday in 3 days, to Holguin in Cuba. I have quite alot of belly fat. Im not fat or anything I just wanna lose weight. I stopped eating chocolates and dance a little- but any advice? 😀 Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

*Firstly, you should not skip your breakfast, whatever the case may be. Because it is the vital meal of your whole day and the rate of metabolism slows down if you don’t have it. In addition to this, you will be so hungry at your lunchtime that you will end up eating more food than required. So make sure you have a proper and healthy breakfast before leaving your house.
*Secondly, don’t engross yourself in other things like, reading books or watching TV while eating your food. If you don’t concentrate in your food, you will take more than necessary which is not good for your health as well as your weight. You must enjoy your food with your friends or your family but keep an eye on your food too.
*Thirdly, you should chew your food at least 35 times before eating, because the researchers have found out that you will consume fewer calories if you chew for longer time. Moreover, it helps you to digest your food faster as well as restrict the size of your portion and thus you can lose your weight.
*Fruits are just incomparable in losing your weight. They help to detoxify your body if you take them in empty stomach. Moreover, they will give you a huge amount of energy to exercise. It is believed that eating fruits about 30 minutes before any full meal helps in digesting the food quickly.
*Drink water as much as you can as it is very important for a healthy body and it creases the metabolic rate. But you must avoid drinking water in between your meals, since the liquid decreases the rate of digestion. It is advised to have water at least 15 minutes before or after your meal.
*Losing weight can be a difficult process for nearly everyone, so it’s not uncommon that people will ask: how can I lose weight and how can I lose it quickly? Some people are more blessed than others when it comes to their metabolism. A faster metabolism does make losing weight easier, but that’s not to say that someone with a slow metabolism can’t lose weight. In fact, someone with a slow metabolism can lose those extra pounds, and provided that they follow the tips that we suggest, they can lose those pounds quickly. So stop using your sluggish metabolism as an excuse, a barrier between you and your goals.
There are a few rules to follow to ensure that you will lose weight quickly. If you only choose to follow one of these rules, your success will be limited. On the other hand, if you follow all of these rules, you will lose weight rapidly, and just as importantly, you will keep the weight off.

Losing Weight Rule #1
Stay well hydrated. Hydration is one of the most important parts of losing weight and being healthier overall. Drinking lots of water ensures that your stomach is full, and it tricks your body into thinking that you are not hungry. It is important to hydrate primarily with water for a number of reasons. Water is natural and inexpensive, and it is calorie free

Losing Weight Rule #2
Exercise! Exercising is a fun and effective way of losing weight. If you are having trouble losing weight, or if you are losing weight, but not quickly, try adding in exercise. You will be sure to notice a difference if you add exercise to your healthy lifestyle. Not only does it help with weight loss, it also improves cardiovascular health greatly.Rule #1 comes into play here, too; staying hydrated is important if you are exercising because your workouts will suffer if you do not properly hydrate before, during, and after the workout. Staying hydrated allows you to perform at the highest level possible, ensuring that you burn the maximum amount of calories during your workout. Did you know that a 30-minute run can burn up to 500 calories?

Losing Weight Rule #3
Have a diet plan. You can do all the exercise in the world, but if you aren’t eating properly, and eating proper-sized portions, you won’t achieve any success. Weight loss ultimately comes down to calories in vs. Calories out; that is, the number of calories that you consume (take in) must be less than the number of calories that you burn (put out) in order for weight loss to occur. Keep a food diary so that you understand what you are eating. Buy a food scale that gives you an accurate estimate of portion sizes. Choose a diet plan that gives you a good mix of proteins and complex carbohydrates. Avoid empty calories.

So, with those rules and tips, you have everything you need to lose weight fast. Losing weight can be difficult, but it is far from impossible, especially with this knowledge. No matter what weight you have been all your life, you can lose weight, and you will lose weight provided that you follow these steps. So if you’ve made it this far, then congratulations; you’ve taken the first step towards losing weight fast.
Not everyone has a speedy metabolism. It’s like being born with perfect pitch or an ability to draw. But everyone can lose weight and keep it off. It just takes discipline and desire. Good luck.

Burn more calories everyday. It sounds simple but it works. Most people do not know how to calculate this. The basic formula is Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity.

Chris asks…

How can I lose weight easily?

I’m 12 and I have a glandular problem and a really low metabolism and I’m a little on the lazy side……How do i lose weight easy and fast without surgery? I have been skipping meals and I exercise a little but I’ve been the same weight. Can someone please tell me a diet plan or something?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Drink lots of water, and eat regularly. Don’t starve yourself, because once you start eating again, you’ll gain everything back, trust me.

Eat lots of fruits and veggies, and if you eat bread, make sure it’s whole grain. White bread is pretty fattening. You can also eat lean meats, like fish, turkey and chicken breast.

Skip out on sweets, candy, sugary foods, chips, ice cream, cake, and cookies.

If you feel hungry, but don’t want to over eat, chew gum. It’ll keep your mouth busy and it tricks yourself into thinking your eating.

Cut out ALL soda! If you stop drinking soda, it helps you out a lot!
And don’t forget to exercise!

Try walking, jogging, jump rope, dancing, bike riding and swimming. Try exercising for 45-80 minutes a day.
Good luck!

William asks…

Can somebody who never exercises lose weight easily if they start exercising?

I NEVER exercise unless walking around the house cleaning or walking around school counts. I eat lots of junk but i haven’t gained any weight in the past 4 years. Does this mean that if i started exercising I would be burning off that extra weight immediately?

weight loss cardiff answers:

1.Avoid trans fats and high fructose corn syrup. I offer this suggestion for a few reasons. First, they’re not good for you anyway. Second, you’ll eliminate a lot of the “bad foods” outright – no questions asked. You’ll have to become more selective in what you eat by avoiding these two nasty ingredients – which are in more foods than you probably care to know.

George asks…

How can I lose weight easily and fast?

Hey I’m 13 years old and I’m way overweight.

Height: 5’3
Weight: 145 lbs

I wanna lose a lot of this weight to take me down to a 120 lbs but I want to do it fast and quick? Any Ideas?

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
