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! 😀

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.

How can I lose weight eaisly?

I want to lose weight easily
Sports and walks are not options as cant walk

Do sit ups and 6 inches work out your core, that give you a six pack or stomach mussles, if you want to get rid of fat you have to go on a diet there are thousands of diets out their and it can be overwhelming at times. Just take it slow and dont strain yourself. Good luck

Michael asks…

What exercises should I do to lose weight?

What exercise can I do to lose weight in about 30 days? I just want to have a slimmer figure. A friend of mine lost weight in a month and now she looks great! I asked her what she did and she just said I exercised and drank a lot of water. I just wanted to know what sort of exercises I can do to lose weight easily and I watch what I eat to so that won’t be a problem and can I eat like a hamburger or something once a month? Or does that help me gain a lot of weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Learning to count calories is the best exercise you can do. I keep my daily calories under 1800, walk briskly for about an hour, and lost nearly 20 pounds in the first month, 15 in the second, and am now within 5 pounds of “ideal”.

Carol asks…

What is a good a catalyst to begin a weight loss program?

I don’t lose weight easily and I’m hoping to shift 6kg. I’m not stupid. I’m not trying to lose it overnight. I just need a bit of help getting started. I’m aware that diet and exercise are the main principles, and drinking enough water. I just wondered if anyone has any tricks or methods they use just to help get started. Please don’t lecture me! I’m trying to do this the sensible way. Thanks in advance.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at http://theweightlossplace .com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Sandra asks…

What do actresses do to lose weight fast?

When actresses need to either lose weight fast, or build muscle for a movie part, what programme do they follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I believe actresses hire expensive trainers to help get them into shape. They use cardio/aerobics, yoga, pilates, weight resistance, strength training, and a very strict diet. And probably the occasional cosmetic surgeries to help shape the very biggest, unsolvable, problematic area.

Ken asks…

How do you lose weight fast and efficiently?

I’m 13, 5’7 (shoe size of 13, totally irrelevant), but I already weigh around 77kg. I think I weigh a bit over, is there anyways I can lose weight fast and will not gain it back fast. Or at least, is there anyways I can make myself look skinner.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Any method of losing weight fast usually means that you will lose a lot of water weight which will come back quickly. That said, instead of dieting per say, you should permanently change your eating habits. Eat smaller portions of nutritious, well balanced meals 4-5 times a day instead of 3 large meals. Make sure you are getting enough protein (which means eating meat, chicken, fish, soy, dairy, eggs, etc).

The Anshar Diet

As an American I’ve seen enough crazy fad diets in my day to fill several weeks full of infomercials and advertisements. As such I’m going to give you the benefit of many years of health and nutrition classes and do my good deed for the year.

I’m going to tell you how to not only lose weight but change the composition of your body, increase your health, and best of all.. Keep it off.

First, let’s dispel some common myths.

Myth 1:
Eating less calories will make me lose weight.
Unfortunately this isn’t always true. A lot of different factors program your metabolism but one of the key things is how OFTEN you eat. If you fast all day long and then have a 500 calorie meal at the end of the day almost ALL of it will be stored by your body.

Myth 2:
I can have a diet with no carbs and be healthy.
This really is a testament to how much Americans want a quick fix. Diets like the Atkin’s Diet cause your body to start devouring itself, increase your cholesterol, and in certain cases can even kill you. One thing I WON’T argue, death will indeed cause you to lose weight, permanently.

Myth 3:
If I go on a diet I will lose weight.
99% of people who go on diets will end up putting on MORE weight than they lost from a diet. This is because diet is supposed to be a LIFESTYLE change, not something you do for 2 weeks. If you starve your body it will make fat cells and increase their size even faster.

Myth 4:
I need to go out and exercise to lose weight.
This isn’t actually true but it’s important to say that having daily activities WILL keep you healthy. If you burn almost no calories every day what else do you think your body is going to do with them? Balancing a healthy lifestyle with a good diet is what you want here, not killing yourself by running every afternoon.

Myth 5:
The scale in my bathroom gives me a good idea of how healthy I am.
The dreaded bathroom scale does NOT tell you how healthy you are. Let’s say I have 10 lbs of fat, don’t drink water, and have little muscle mass. Then I work out for 3 months and hydrate every day. I lose 5 lbs of fat but gain 7 lbs of muscle and 3 pounds of average water weight. What will happen when I look at the scale? Are you being fair to yourselves? Judge yourself by how you feel, not what a spinning number under your feet tells you.

With these common myths out of the way I’ll tell you the secret. It’s five simple steps.

~~The Anshar Diet~~
1. Only eat until you are no longer hungry.
This does NOT mean that you starve yourself. It means after you take a few bites of food ask yourself if you’re still hungry. If you’re not, into the fridge it goes. While we’re at it, CHEW YOUR FOOD. At least 10 times per bite (using common sense if you’re eating applesauce, this isn’t an excuse to be an idiot).

2. Eat at least 6 (more if your schedule allows) meals a day.
I know this seems counterintuitive, but hear me out. If you eat 6-8 meals a day the meals are very small (often around 100-200 calorie “snacks”), provided you are only eating until you are NOT HUNGRY. When your body is not hungry your metabolism will not try to store energy as fat. It really is that simple. Smaller meals aid in digestion, they increase the nutrition you get from your food, and they keep you from being lethargic. If you eat when you’re hungry your body stores MORE of it as fat (“Hmm. I’m hungry, I don’t know where my next meal will come from! I’d better hold onto this.”)

3. Eat BEFORE you get hungry.
Schedule your 6-10 meals throughout the day and stick to them. If you’re waiting until you get hungry to eat you’ve already screwed this up. Your body stores energy if you’re hungry, if your body sees food and just takes what it needs then you’re running at optimum efficiency. This is called programming your metabolism.

4. Eat breakfast. Always.
Your first meal of the day is also the meal you have no choice over being hungry for. Your body has been replenishing itself all night and needs fuel. Since now you KNOW that hunger means you store your food then that means you want to keep breakfast LIGHT. A cup of cereal and a banana. A granola bar and an apple. LIGHT does NOT mean you skip breakfast. If you skip breakfast you are telling your metabolism to turn ALL of the next meal you eat into stored fat.

5. Drink water.
(I’m a big hypocrite on this one, but I can’t stress it enough) Most people think that if they pick up a glass of orange juice instead of a soda they’re doing themselves a favor, and that’s not entirely true. A glass of orange juice can have just as many calories as some sodas. Try looking at the label sometime. If you’re thirsty, drink water. If you love your soda then have your soda (real soda, not diet, artificial sweetners have been argued to be one of the worst things to ever happen to western civilization). If you decide to have a drink to treat yourself, pour yourself a half glass, don’t take a can or bottle with you and for go

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Mandy asks…

I would like some diet & exercise plans that are healthy please?

I just want to lose a few pounds and tone out my legs, butt, stomach area mostly. I’ve already stopped drinking soda and I only drink water now.

But what are some diet plans? Foods to eat? Foods to NOT eat? Foods to eat now and then?
Exercise plans? What can I do to lose a few pounds? Then what to do to tone up?

weight loss cardiff answers:

A variety of veggies are always a good choice. I like to put a lot of fiber in my diet in the mornings and drink a lot of water to keep me regular.

Some of the foods you want to avoid have:
-a lot of saturated fats
-sodium
-sugar

Also limit your white bread, rice, and pasta. Try for whole grain instead.

Lean meats such as chicken and turkey are great for protein. Nuts such as almonds and walnuts are good now and then.

I think as a general rule, do an activity for 30-60 minutes a day. It doesn’t have to be at the gym. It could be a walk if you don’t have time for working out, dancing, or any kind of activity where you are moving your body.
