Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Richard asks…

Can you give me some examples of healthy meals that will help me lose weight?

I am 215 pounds and I need to lose weight quick! I need some easy ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I eat a lot of dishes cooked with veggies. Also, I use ground turkey instead of ground beef for everything. Any pastas have to be whole wheat. I cut out breads almost entirely. I make taco bowls…. Ground turkey with taco seasoning, lettuce, chili beans, no fat cheddar, tomatoes, and salsa. Simmer chicken breasts in broth with some seasonings and serve with mushrooms. Check out allrecipes.com for some lo-cal recipes. You can make it even more lo-cal by using fat free ingredients. Use calorieking.com to keep track of the calories in what you cook with. Find a good calorie needs calculator and figure out how many cals you can have in a day to lose weigh. I use http://www.healthstatus.com/cbc.html but there are lots of others out there. For example, I need to stay at 1200 cals a day to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I usually have two pieces of lo-fat wheat toast with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter for breakfast (80 cals), an espresso with sugar (20 cals), a Healthy Choice meal for lunch (300 or fewer cals), a Special K snack bar in the afternoon (90 cals), which leaves me almost 600 cals for dinner. One serving of that taco bowl is less than 500 cals, so I can have a 100 cal cookie pack for dessert! It is a lot of math, but after gaining almost 30 lbs with my hubby and losing 18 of it the last 2 months, it is worth it! I only work out 1-3 times a week. Good luck.

How can a 14 year old girl lose weight quick?

I am a 14 year old girl who needs and wants to lose weight like the other night we went to khols to get me a bathing suit but I dident feel comfortable in any of them at all I hate my thighs, face and belly I need to lose weight quick before summer I am not the only one who sees it my whole family does and so do my friends I hope you can help

weight loss cardiff answers:

Cardio vascular exercise and low carb intake is the quickest and easiest way. I am a personal trainer and I can tel you this is a very quick method for your body needs lots of fuel to function. It uses carbs and stores extra into fat. If your body needs it more when you exercise and you don’t eat lots of carbs then it will use the fat stores. Remember to only limit carbs. If you tend to feel hungry lots then be aware that eating sugary foods creates an insulin spike in your blood which leads to hunger and overeating. Good luck.

David asks…

How many Calories should I eat for breakfast, lunch, supper, and snacks to effectively lose weight?

I’m 5’3″ 190lbs. I exercise regularly. I would like to know (have a plan) on how many calories I should have for meals and snacks to lose weight quick!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am 5’3″ also. I am at 132 lbs and have been at this weight for about 4 years by staying on 1200 calories a day. Of course I do splurge when I eat out, but if you continually stick
to 1200 calories you will lose weight. Do eat low cal foods, and exercise. I wish you good luck.

Lisa asks…

How encourage my sister to lose weight?

Ever since she was a child my sister has had a weight problem. However when she went to college, was real busy, walked and took swimming classes she lost a lot of weight and looked great! But after college and got married she’s gained it back plus more. She knows she needs to lose it and has tried going to the gym but nothing is working (even had a free session with a trainer for few weeks). Her big problem is food and self motivation. She’s currently 28 but i’m afraid the older she gets the more problems she’ll face. She said her knees already kinda do hurt already. She lives in different state then I, so I can’t easily meet up w/ her. I think its also hard for her b/c her hubby is a coach so he is constantly working off what he eats.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your sister might benefit from a program like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. She would have someone to be accountable to and they would give her a diet and exercise plan. Maybe for Christmas you could buy her a gift certificate to get her started. She also may want to invest in some exercise equipment for her home like a treadmill or set of weights.

Other than giving her some helpful suggestions now and then, there really isn’t much you can do. She is the one who needs to decide she’s ready to take her health seriously and put in the effort.

HELP seriously need to lose weight?

when I started going out with my boyfriend 4 years ago I weight 10st 3lbs and now I have put on over 6 stone!! I now weigh 16st 7lbs. I have went from a size 10 to a size 16/18.

I know exactly what has went wrong, too many takeaways not enough exercise. Last year I went on a diet and managed to lose 12lbs in 2 weeks and in total 18lbs but I went through some family trouble and went back to binge eating again

I am more of a night time eater, you know I hardly eat during the day, have my dinner and have lots of snacks after that go to bed and when I wake up Im not hungry so wait to have my dinner before having anything to eat..

What I am asking is how can I stick to eating healthy? My partner is’nt overweight so he has no need to eat low cal foods.

6 stone is a lot to lose, but I would be happy to fit into a size 12 by this time next year, its just I get bored easily and I am fond of alcohol (Im only 22 so I enjoy a night out 3 times a month)

I just don’t want to keep gaining weight. I went to the doctor last year and they gave me these pills that stop you from absorbing fat but they were quite nasty and I needed to keep going to the toilet every 10mins (number 2) and this orange fat just leaked from me. It was impossible to go out so I stopped them.

Does anyone know any good web-sites that have healthy meals and a diet plan that I can follow (preferably free)?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think the best way you want to lose weight is sport, though it may be cost you a long tme, that is the most safe way.
P90X and Core Rhythms @http://www.dvdorderonline.com will be a good choice to help you do more sport, you may have a look.

I never had a problem with gainig weight after quitting smoking..I actually used to jog prior to, during, and after quitting..probably about 2-3 weeks after not having a stog at all did I really notice the difference it made in my running, but Idont know if the fact that I had already been running before and during being a smoker contributed to tht short period of time or not…good luck with both staying smoke free and jogging! :<)
