weight loss cardiff answers:

They burn your pockets, not your fat.. All they do is take away water weight.. Alli makes you poop yourself lol

Just do more cardio, that’s the secret.. 4-5 20 minute sessions to start and work your way up to 30-60 minutes at a time..

Of course if you went with diet pills, you might suffer from seizures or heart attacks.. Sure it looks like a quick fix and you see lots of people using them but it speeds up your metabolism for a very short time because your body gets used to them.. So in the long run, you need them like you blood, just to stay the same rate your metabolism has always been.. Or you’ll get fatter and fatter..

Chill on the pills, really.. Not sayin anything toward you or anyone who’s ever thought about them because I have before.. But really, in all honesty, you don’t need the side effects and all the problems they’ll cause you down the road for a year of looking decent when you could look even better with dieting and exercise.. It takes a lot more commitment on exercising but it pays off 10x more and you’re healthier in the long run.. Isn’t that what you want? Instead of 5 years later you’re on the pills on wondering why you’re gaining weight?

Good dieting, I’m sure you do though..anything with boneless skinless chicken breast..

My diet consists of stuff like:
Peanut Butter
Fish
Almonds, Cashews, ect…
Turkey, Chicken breast.. The boneless skinless kind.. Lean red meats..
Lots of beans and legumes..
Eggs.. Lots of them.. I usually use about 4 or 5 egg whites and 1 whole egg.. Eggs are actually easy to seperate if you crack the egg in your hand and move it around from one hand to another and eventually the yolk will still be there..
And fruits, veges… I eat fiber one bars sometimes, and I always drink 2 protein shakes a day.. One after breakfast, one before bed/working out.. Those are key for my diet..

If you wanna tone up.. You need to do cardio man, there’s no way around it.. Believe me, we’ve all tried.. Lyposuction only lasts so long lol

My advice.. Don’t eat refined sugars, too much white or other bread unless it’s 100% whole grain.. Yeah the stuff isn’t too good, but the white bread is a lot harder to process than the good stuff.. Makes you fatter.. And if you want fiber, fruits and veges.. They also have hidden benefits in them you might not have realized, google certain benefits and you may find yourself eating them more often. It’s hard to do, but do it.. They help you feel fuller, longer and are best ate w/ the chicken or turkey or if you’re a vegetarian.. Tofu/beans..

5-7 small meals a day, and a protein shake can be one of them.. Low calorie recipes.. Man, there are so many.. Check out the abs diet online.. You’ll find a lot of appetizing meals in there. Best of luck, lmk if u need anything else

John asks…

Should I take weight loss pills?

I have lost two and a half stone by eating healthy and going gym I still go gym 5 times a week and eat healthy maybe not as healthy as I ust to but still healthy I am now finding it hard to lose weight. If I take weight loss pills will it help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

No sry weight loss pills are bad for you………… Instead of eating meals try eating healthy snacks, as the day goes on and you use up calories/enegry. Nooooooone should ever be “full” unless you are wieght training and want to gain pounds of muscle, which you stated you are not…

So my advice=
1.run/jog every day

2.no more meals only HEALTHY snacks as the day goes on ( no pop or alcohol too lol almost forgot)

3.do not lift heavy wieghts at the gym, u may feel like your working out harder and ur more sore but ur actauly gaining weight lifting heavy so do maybe 5 pounds or less curls 40 reps (use ur judgment)

goooood luck!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

James asks…

Does Anyone Have Any Creative Weight Loss Recipes?

I’m 19 and my husband is 22, we both have full-time jobs and are incredible busy, he is a computer technician that works a regular 9-5 job at a software developer and he runs his own business. I work as a sales representative for a wholesale shoe business, with a desk job that requires some but not much physical activity. I’ve always been a bit over weight and even though I just lost 30 pounds, have plateaued to 140, I’m 5’4 and do not consider myself fat, just I do have a few pounds to lose.My husband on the other hand, is 6’0 feet and 240 pounds which really worries me, he is a food lover of everything that is edible. And like I said, we are both extremely BUSY people so it’s hard to do groceries or take 30 minutes to walk everyday, but we do it anyway.

I’ve tried putting us on a “diet” which consists of 6 day’s of healthy eating and one day of eating whatever we wish.

But I’ve grown tired of the food I’ve been cooking which has been salmon, rice, beans, chicken, veggies, more chicken, we have steak once a week, and some sort of pasta, whether it’s spaghetti or fettuccine Alfredo once a week. I’ve noticed that the same things are sooooo boring and have found it hard to actually incorporate VEGETABLES in our diets. Fruits are easy, veggies are hard.

The recipes online are filled with vegetables that I don’t even know what they are or how to prepare. I’ve tried researching online any simple food recipes but the ones I have tried are just NOT my taste.

Anyone have their on recipes or an online source that has regular easy recipes for everyday people that don’t know how to pouch and what not?
BTW….

It’s not that I don’t have time because I have a 9-5 job. Like I said… we run our own business and going to open a store in Jan meaning we have absolutely NO time… except for today that I took a day off but my husband is STILL working (he’s been out since 8 am, will get home here at 12 am to wake up at 6 to go to work again, and we work 1 hour from where we live so add 2 hours of commute everyday). So it’s harsh when someone accuses us me of not working hard, of being lazy, of working less so I can just get “paid”. No… I work hard because I want my hard work to make ME wealthy, not to make other people wealthy through MY hard work… But like I said, I’ve been putting us on a diet plus excising at least for 30-45 min a day. SO don’t be harsh please :).

weight loss cardiff answers:

I dont have a specific answer for you, but i can tell you that juicing your vegetables, if you can get used to the taste, is extremely beneficial for your body, and can help boost your metabolism. I went on a 5 day juice cleanse, i juiced my own vegetables, added a small amount of fruit for taste. I found recepies in First magezine, they have creative healthy recipes so check them out. Anyway, i lost 4 lbs that week, and felt great to boot! Btw i am 21 and 5’3, about 145lbs. I know how it feels to want to get rid of just those few extras 🙂 here is what i usually had for breakfast, but keep in mind, you have to get used to the taste, and tweak it where you need to…if you cant handle the celery taste, omit it, i did some days.

Juice all this together:
1 Beet
3 Carrots
2 Apples
2 Celery stalks
1/2 inch ginger root (for taste)
1/2 lemon
( i added fresh spinach sometimes, but unless you have a high grade juicer, its better to put spinach in a blender)

substitue apples if you want, i added it to this recipe to add some sweet. Also any red fruit boosts metabolism as well, such as red grapes. Good luck
