Joseph asks…

Any free low carb diet plans?

I’ve lost about 65lbs on a low carb diet, with no precise plan. I have hit a sort of plateau, but I only have about 10 more pounds to loose (I weight 158lbs and I’m 5’9″ and a 17 y/o guy) I’m looking g for a strict diet plan online (simple, and free) that tells me what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so I can loose those last pounds, and little love handles I still have! Lol thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

With any diet you’re going to find that you’ll hit a plateau since you eventually hit a homeostasis point.

A low carb diet should not be thought of as a weight “loss” diet, but a weight “reset” diet. It’s a diet that you can (and should) continue for the rest of your life. At some point you’ll hit your new “reset” weight. When you do you’ll hover there.

If you wish to lose more weight then you need a new “reset” point. The only way to do that is to change your diet to some degree.

Changing to a specific meal plan might work for you in the short-term, but it probably won’t work long-term. I think you need to just try changing something in your diet and see if that works for you or not to give you a better “reset” point.

I’d suggest adding more fat to your diet. That may help get your body to feel comfortable in burning more of its own fat.

Also make sure you’re not eating too much protein. It just gets turned to carbs if you eat too much.

How to lose weight really fast in a couple months or even weeks?

I am almost 12 and I’m 15 pounds overweight. Does anyone know a good diet? Or what sport really burns a lot of fat. I am looking to lose weight really fast though, even if it may be hard. PLEASE HELP!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try to cut out on fast food and cookies and sugary foods. Regular exercises every day/other day will help you lose weight faster. Get enough sleep and stay away from extended hours in front of the computer. Good luck http://www.iloseweightfast.blogspot.com

Laura asks…

Any good diets that help you lose weight fast and easy?

So I exercise everyday and try to have a low-calorie diet, but I’m still not losing weight! It’s driving me crazy. Is there any type of easy diet that help you lose weight fast and effectively? Please and Thank you 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you are exercising and being careful about what you eat and are not losing weight, most likely it means that you don’t need to lose weight.

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.

Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.

Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.

Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.

In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.

Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.

Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.

Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.

Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.

Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.

An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.

Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.

Charles asks…

How are you going to try and lose weight for swim suite season?

I’ve been trying to lose weight by excercising and eating healthy, but it’s not working.

Does anyone know any diet plans or anything that helps you lose weight fast?

Poll: what kind of crazy diet are you doing?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The only time I lost weight was on a low carb diet. You are alloted 60 carbs a day. I tried not to go below 40. Like you could go to 0 carbs a day but ketones develop in your stomach and you get the foulest breath. You might be thin but you’d have no friends – well close ones LOL.
It is actually a very healthy diet as it cuts out high carbs but would also recommend a multi vitamin with it.
It allows meat, chicken, fish, bacon – all have 0 carbs. Same with eggs, cheese, etc. Not recommending that one eat these foods in abundance but it would kick start the slimming process along with 45 minute walk a day and some sit ups, etc

What diets are the best to lose weight easily and quickly?

I’ve been trying to lose weight for a long time but cannot seem to find a decent diet that suits me.
I go college 3 times a week so need something that I can also follow during these days. Need something which won’t leave me too hungry but can help me lose weight at the same time. Started going zumba and water aerobics for my exercise. Help? all suggestions are welcome
I’m about 5 ft 3
17
11 and half stone
HELP MEEEEE

weight loss cardiff answers:

I don’t exactly know a diet, but I for a light snack I would suggest a celery. Celery’s have such little calories that you’d burn calories eating it. Another thing: Games like Wii fit plus help loads too. They track your progress in losing weight as well, which I think is pretty good, and help you do exercises. But then you need a Wii (which isn’t really the best console out there)
Sorry about not knowing a complete diet, but I thought I might as well give a suggestion.
Good Luck!

Betty asks…

Whats a good actual working all natural diet pill?

I need to lose weight quickly and all naturally. Im willing to eat right and exercise with it.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Being fat and overweight is a major problem in the world. There are
millions of people who suffer from excess weight and who would have
liked to have a normal body. But the truth is most of these people
don’t really know the effective ways to lose weight, haven’t tried
hard enough although using the right methods, get discouraged too
easily or don’t understand the weight loss process and how the body
really works in relation to food, weight, fat, exercises. To lose
weight, you need to understand this process first so that you know
you’re going in the right direction for your weight loss objectives.
Food components like fat, carbohydrates, protein contain a specific
number of calories. Alcoholic drinks contain calories and water has no
calories.
Everytime you eat food or drink alcohol for instance, your body gains
calories. If your body gets too many calories than you burn, your body
will store the excess calories as fat and you’ll naturally gain
weight. For example, if you consume 2000 calories per day and you burn
1000 calories per day, the excess 1000 calories will be stored as fat
deposits throughout your body.
In order for you to lose weight, you need to burn out more calories
than you consume. For example, if you consume 2000 calories per day
and you burn 2500 calories per day, you will lose weight. Well you
might just say “Why don’t I just cut down on my calories intake
considerably, hence I don’t really have to burn many calories to lose
weight?” Well that would be starving yourself and is not a good idea
at all. This will make you weaker, hungrier and you will eat quite a
lot after. Anyway it does not help. Your body needs food and calories
to get energy. You need to eat enough so as not to starve yourself and
be able to burn these calories and more after. On the other hand, if
you burn out the exact same amount of calories that you take, you will
stay the same.
Two simple things to losing weight naturally revolve around proper
nutrition and exercises. There is no shortcut to losing weight in a
healthy way.
Consider these 2 tips to lose weight naturally:
(1) Eat normally and healthily
Don’t cut down on your usual meals. Take your breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Skipping your meals is not a good solution for your weight
loss goal. The thing is what you eat is what is important to help
combat your weight problems. If you eat more fats, you’ll have a
harder time burning calories because fats contain more calories per
gram than carbohydrates and protein. Try changing your eating habits.
For instance, instead of eating fried foods, try boiled or steamed
foods. But this does not mean you should avoid fatty foods at all cost
even taking your favorite snacks which can contain fats. The best
thing is to do it moderately.
Here are a few simple and healthy food suggestions. Add tuna in your
meals. You have tuna packed in oil or water. Opt for the one in water
which has almost no fat as compared to the one in oil with
considerably more fat. Tuna is low in calories and has a high
nutritional value. You can make a tuna salad with tomatoes, lettuce,
onions, olive oil and avoid adding any high-fat condiments like
mayonaise. If you want to add mayonaise, just add lightly. Then you
can make a tuna sandwich with it. Boiling chicken breasts without the
skin is a good choice too. You can also eat it in a sandwich as well.
When you eat meat, make sure you trim off the fats first. Adding fish
in your meals is recommended. Not only is fish good for health and low
in fat and calories, they are good for the heart because they are rich
in omega-3 fatty acids mostly oily fish like sardines, salmon, tuna,
herring amongst others. It’s recommended to eat at least 1 fish dish a
week.
(2) Be active and exercise
Being active is one of the most important steps in losing weight. If
you are just idle and don’t move a lot, you won’t progress. You need
to exercise. Here are a few activities you can engage in ie weight
training, jogging, aerobics, swimming, bicycling, walking amongst
others.
As you can see, losing weight doesn’t have to be very complicated. But
it does require some work from your part. If you adopt the habit of
eating normally and healthily, you will get that routine with time and
you will get use to it. At the same time, be active and exercise
yourself and enjoy the activities that you’re doing. You won’t see all
this as an ordeal but rather as your way of living and it’s a healthy
one. In the long run, you will be surprised by the results. Just give
it time and you will burn the calories, the excess fat and you will
lose your excess weight. Good luck in your weight loss goals.

Donna asks…

How to quickly but healthily lose weight?

Hi

I have been trying to lose weight for a really long time. I gain weight really quickly on my bum, thighs, and stomach. When I used to run everyday I used to lose weight and maintain a nice and healthy body shape. However, I barely have time to do anything anymore with school and a job. I only need to lose around 20 pounds and to tone my bum, stomach, and thighs.

I need some good foods to eat (that i can eat on the go while at school) and exercises that I can do easily at home everyday with my busy schedule. I can run in the basement (I’ve done it before). I also have an exercise bike.

My trouble isn’t always losing weight, but maintaining my body in a healthy way.

Thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

Exercising and eating healthy is a lifestyle change, ofcourse you’re going to gain weight if you stop working out and eating properly. Don’t bullshit, almost everyone has time to workout, the minimum is 3 days a week for an hour. Your exercise can come from sports if you’d like. Eating junk food in moderation and low fat diets is the best way to go. Heres some tips for losing weight.

Intermittent Fasting, do research on that. Google or go on Youtube and search “fastingtwins”. No this not a diet or starving yourself. Its more of telling you when to eat and when to stop eating.

For your diet, I would not recommend a low carb diet, just because it is probably one of the hardest diets for people to adjust too, people are in bad moods most of the time but not everyone, it’s not a great long term lifestyle, many people put on the weight again after the diet because they don’t know what to eat after they accomplish their goals, and you will not build muscle on that kind of diet. The best thing I can say about a low carb diet is it is probably the fastest way to lose weight. I recommend going on a low fat diet, eating around 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% fat, but you can change it up a bit to fit your own personal preferences. Make sure your carbs come from complex carb foods and not simple carbs foods. You can do your own research on the differences between complex and simple, its quite simple though. Plant based diets are good too, and the good thing about plant based and low fat diets is that you can live the rest of your life on this diet. You can have some cheat days, but everything in moderation is best.

Lastly you need to workout for any diet. Try working out for about an hour if you can, do some High Intensity Cardio and lift some weights. Try to workout atleast 3 days a week and give yourself atleast 1 day of the week to rest.

Do all this and I promise you’ll be melting the fat away. And if you apply the intermittent fasting to your diet you will lose weight very quickly, and just for the heck of it I will explain the basics. So when you apply intermittent fasting to your diet, all your doing is giving yourself a eating window. For example, I eat around 12pm and stop eating around 6pm, thats a 6 hour eating window, and during those 6 hours I eat all my calories for the day. Then I fast from 6pm till the next day at 12pm, a 18 hour fast, and I workout around 8am-10am for about an hour, so my body will be using my fat as energy since I haven’t eaten since 6pm, and after my workout I eat at 12pm. It’s such a powerful tool to losing weight, and you will not feel like crap, it will take maybe a week to 2 weeks of adjusting, but it will get better, and you can live your entire life like this if you wish.

Susan asks…

How can I lose weight during school days ?

During the summer I can lose weight easily because I exercise and diet but during school days I am too busy with homework that I dont have time to exercise .. And I cant walk from home to school because my school is too far from my home so I use a car .. I gained every kilo I lost during the summer and even more .. I dont know what to do please help !! I want to be thin :(((
And I cant take any pills .. My parents wont allow me

weight loss cardiff answers:

Please don’t resort to pills and extreme diets to lose weight!
You can easily lose weight by getting around 30 minutes of cardio a day (any exercise that raises your heart rate to 70-85% of your maximum, i.e. Jogging, swimming, stair walking) and reducing your calorie intake by 10% (i.e. 1800 instead of 2000)

Every person has enough time to exercise, with the exception of a few. I can guarantee you spend more than 2 hours a day doing something pointless. If you really want to lose the weight, just take 30 minutes of your day to do it! You can lose up to 2lbs a week doing this. It really is that easy!

David asks…

How can a teen girl safely lose weight?

I am a 13 year old girl, 5 ft 4 in and 146 pounds. According to my doctor, I am slightly overweight, and it would probably be better for me to lose about 10 pounds. Now, I exercise regularly, and I eat pretty healthy, so I’m not sure how much of my weight is actually fat. I’m not the most athletic, but I’m not out of shape either- I do well when I play tennis. I have a taller and broader frame than other girls my age. So I don’t consider myself unhealthy, but I’d like to be even more fit and drop a few pounds. Please understand that I am NOT doing this for cosmetic purposes, I just want to keep myself healthy. Right now I’m aiming for 130 pounds, but 125 or 120 would be even better.

How can I lose weight safely and relatively easily? I can make simple changes to my diet, but nothing extreme. As far as exercise goes, I have gym class 2-3 times a week, I play tennis 6 hours a week, and I can fit in a 15-20 minute exercise routine or jog daily. Right now, I’ve started by cutting out all junk food, eating more fruit and vegetables, drinking more water, and avoiding very oily and salty foods. I get 8 1/2 hours of sleep daily, I never drink sugary drinks or coffee, I never eat fast food, and I eat three meals a day.

Are healthy habits enough to lose weight, or do I actually need to start working out? Could anyone recommend some exercises for me to do? How much weight is healthy to be losing in a week? Advice is appreciated. Please no rude comments. Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Eat a high fat, medium protein, low carb diet. Cut out all grains: wheat, corn, oats, rice, etc. And milk. Do a lot of walking at an even pace and lift weights.
