Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Daniel asks…

Do all of the major weight loss pills have caffeine?

I have read that the major weight loss supplements are mostly caffeine (Xenadrine, Stacker, Trim Spa, Ect.). This is why most pro athletes do not use them. Is this statement true? Are there any caffeine free supplements? Also, is it true that ephedra is a form of caffeine?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You’re right — ALL the major weight loss pills are either LOADED with caffeine or they contain ephedra, which can be lethal if taken by teenagers or persons suffering from high blood pressure or heart disease. That is EXACTLY why pro-athletes won’t take them. Ephedra = ephedrine hydrochloride, but I have no idea if that’s in the caffeine family. And no, I can’t name any weight loss or fat burning supplement that doesn’t contain caffeine or ephedra (or both). BOTTOM LINE: They don’t work over the long term and can have nasty long-term effects. The high levels of caffeine and/or ephedra mess with your metabolism and actually cause your metabolism to run slower after you stop taking them. So you could take them for a few months, lose the weight you want to lose, but once you stop you’ll have to exercise harder or eat a lot less just to maintain. Not good. You’re better off going the natural way. Check out the website below for a plan to lose weight and keep it off without the use of fat burners, supplements, or pills.

Betty asks…

What are some weight loss supplements for men?

I’m in a very unfortunate situation because I don’t have money to eat the healthy way as of yet.. and I work so much and commute so far that I find it hard to find time to exercise.. I wanna drop some weight .. At least 8-10 pounds over the next 2-3 weeks. I’m going to buy some fruits and vegetables, some grilled chicken and things less fatty but I would like am extra push.. Hence, the idea of weight loss supplements. Is there any that you can recommend to me that has great reviews and hasn’t caused serious complications to the body. I really would appreciate this. I’m a male by the way. I know their are women and men supplements. Thank you.

If you don’t have any ideas for supplements then have any of you dropped weight fast using different techniques with limited exercise and little access to fruits and vegetables? I’m pretty sure it’s unheard of, please get back to me!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

A very good weight loss supplement is hoodia gordonii – it works by suppressing the sensation of hunger which helps the person lose weight. Www.naturaforte.com

Susan asks…

are there any safe weight loss supplement that actually work for teens?

i’m 19 and i want to lose about 20 or 30 pounds. i exercise and eat well but im just not losing the weight. does anyone know of any weight loss supplement that actually works? (i don’t want slim fast)

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m sorry, there’s really no such thing as a safe diet pill. They almost all contain stimulants that can damage the cardiovascular system, and then there’s Alli, which can give you explosive diarrhea, so I don’t think you want that pill either.

Diet and exercise should work perfectly fine. I think you’re probably either not giving it enough time (you should give it at least a month before you decide you’re not seeing results), or you aren’t dieting or exercising right.

As for your diet, you should be eating high protein, high fat (saturated not trans, and no that’s not unhealthy), low carb, low sugar. Keep your calorie intake around 1500 a day, carbs around 100-150 g a day, and as little added sugar as you can manage. Make sure to eat lots of fruits and veggies too.

And you need to push yourself when you exercise. A nice easy pace won’t do anything. You have to get sweaty, tired, and work hard. If you don’t feel tired when you’re done, if you’re not out of breath, you’re not doing it right. And you need to do both cardio and weight training, but on different days. Try and work out for at least an hour, 4-6 days a week.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

William asks…

What could a 50 year old do to lose weight fast!?!?

My dads like 52 and i just want him to be healthier and of course ill help him but what can he do to lose weight insanely fast or easily…please help me i really care for my dad

weight loss cardiff answers:

The foods you eat play a direct role in your ability to lose weight at 52. For starters, you’d need to reduce the number of calories you eat every day. With a slower metabolism, you don’t need as many calories to function, so cut back by eliminating sources of empty calories like sugary teas, fruit drinks and sodas, alcohol and refined sugars and flours in cakes and cookies. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy, whole grains and lean sources of protein like fish and chicken. And whenever you can, add a serving of vegetables or fruit to your meals. They’re low in calories and fill you up, making the perfect dietary addition.

How to lose weight fast?

I m not that fat but because I am so busy school adn work I have no time for myself that much
what are some good ways to lose weight fast and easily
thank you

weight loss cardiff answers:

I know that you have probably heard the whole, “eat veggies and fruits, exercise”, but I want to give you easier advice. The average person eats around 2000 calories a day. If you maintain that, and run on the treadmill for 10 minutes a day and drink water, you will be fine. You said you aren’t that fat, but I am sure that you have 10 minutes of free time. In the afternoons, instead of drinking soda and energy drinks, try drinking green tea, not the sugary bottled kind. I really hope that I helped! 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Low carb diet is the way to go. I personally know a guy, (lived with him), who lost 35 pounds in a month on a low carb diet, and he gorged himself on bacon and burgers every night. At this point however, I would like to point out that this is an extremely expensive diet, and that if you do not drink around 15 8-ounce cups of water each day, your kidneys will fail quickly and painfully, and you could die. Try eating only 10-15 carbs per day, and after the first week or two, your body will go into kenocytocis, which means major weight loss.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Linda asks…

How effective is drinking lemon water for weight loss?

It is told that lemon water helps with weight loss, but how effective is it? Not the detox diet, but just drinking lemon water throughout the day, how much weight could you possibly lose in a week? In a month? I am curious to know how effective it really is in losing weight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Actually, just drinking any kind of water will significantly help with weight loss.

Water helps to improve liver function. Your liver helps you metabolize and burn fat easily. But when you are dehydrated, your kidneys will have trouble functioning, and your liver will have to pick up the slack.

Now, let’s think about this for a minute…

If you were your liver, would you be more concerned with burning fat, or helping out your ailing kidneys? That’s what I thought! And that’s exactly what your liver does.

So, if you want to start your body’s natural fat-burning process, make sure you stay hydrated.

Also, drinking water, whether it’s got lemon in it or not, will help you feel fuller throughout the day. This will keep you from snacking on unhealthy foods and help you limit your portion sizes too.

I hope this helps.

Mark asks…

How long after major weight loss should you give your skin to firm up before resorting to plastic surgery?

If I had some loos skin on tummy and arms after an 80 pound weight loss, how long should I give it to firm up? Im young, 23 years old, but will the skin tighten with exercise or stay flabby?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The thing with a large weight loss is that the weight is generally lost too fast, which doesn’t give the skin enough time to go back to what it was.
After reaching your target weight, I would wait a few months, doing regular light exercise and eating healthily, and then see how your skin is. If you are still unhappy you could look into plastic surgery.

Try this website though, it has some advice about excess skin after weight loss, and non surgical methods. Http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

Good luck. X

Ruth asks…

What is the best weight loss supplement?

I want a weight loss supplement that doesn’t make me so called ‘ill’, i.e. making me poo a lot if you know what I mean. Something that genuinely aids me when I go to the gym to burn more calories etc. And hopefully something that is natural too. Please give me some personal experiences too?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best supplements for weight loss and specifically fat loss are thermogenics. I have had the most sucess with anything containing caffeine and green tea extract.
Another thing I can suggest that works (this sounds crazy but it does I swear) is cold showers or more effectively Ice baths after a workout.

Ice baths provide a quick recovery and they stimulate fat burning, but they are not recommended if you have a heart condition the initial shock is pretty wicked.

I hope this helps, check out my blog at www.lifeoffitness.co
