Lisa asks…
How do you lose a little weight easily and quickly?
I’m 16 and I’m only 4’8, so this wont seem like a lot of weight to you but it is to me for my height. I’m 91lbs and I’ve never been this heavy in my life. I only want to lose between 5 and 10lbs, but whenever I try to just lose a little, I gain weight. I started out at 84lbs which is normal and I just keep gaining weight, I don’t know why. What are some things I can do to get back to my normal weight?
weight loss cardiff answers:
Losing weight requires you to burn more calories than you consume. So the ways to do that are cut your calories, be more active, or both.
Do not drop your calories under 1200 a day without a doc’s okay. Too low and your metabolism slows down and you don’t get the desired effect…and weight gain becomes easier.
Add exercise to your daily regime. I shoot for at least 1 hr a day, at least 5 days a week…but most week’s I manage up to 2 hrs a day (between 2 workouts, before and after work) 6 – 7 days a week.
Do cardio exercise for fat burning…jogging, speed walking, dancing, aerobics, swimming, bicycling, etc. Do strength training and/or toning exercise to firm your body and speed up your metabolism. If you have weights you can use, that’s a bonus. Yoga is also great for toning and flexibility.
Good luck!
Ken asks…
How can i lose weight quickly, easily and low cost?
I am 163 cm and weigh about 50 kilos. I love my weight/height and most of my body is really toned except for my bum and thighs. They are a ginormous problem as i cant wear half the stuff i want to because of them. I am not pear-shaped as my hips are a nice size, its just all my fat goes into my thighs. Two years ago i went on a crash diet and ate basically nothing all year. I had a BMI of 16, which i know is underweight but it worked for me. Now i have sort of “let myself go”.
Anyway, if anyone knows any way of making legs thinner or longer that would be great. I know running is a good way of solving my problem, but i find it too difficult to breath and i dont really have the time. I am still growing so if anyone knows of any miracle foods that will help, please say. Thanks

Running gets easier with practice. Just take it slowly and try to improve your distance/time gradually. I started out running not able to even finish a mile without stopping to walk. With 6 months of intense training, I’m now able to run 9 miles (14.5 km) on mountainous trails. It’s not impossible, it only takes one hour of your day!
Start off by jogging as slow as you need to for twenty-thirty minutes. Carry a water bottle with you as you run. You’ll be able to get faster & build endurance.
If not, you can go to the gym and use those machines specifically geared towards working out the thigh/leg muscles.
Sorry bud, but the only way to get toned thighs is to exercise and hard work. I know you don’t like to hear that, but if it were really as simple as a “miracle food” then we’d all look fabulous.

how to lose weight easily and quickly?
i want to do it without starving myself i have alot of muscle but some fat to i want to burn all my fat or most of iit so how do i?
weight loss cardiff answers:
1. Keep track of what you eat. Use a food log website such as myfitnesspal.com (that’s what I use, it has helped a lot) to keep track of how much you’ve eaten and how much you can still eat. NEVER eat less than 1200 calories if you’re a woman or less than 1500 if you’re a man. That can put your body into starvation mode which actually makes weight loss more difficult.
2. Find an exercise you like doing and do it everyday! Try to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity in. For me its dancing – specifically the Caramelldansen which is a little bit silly but its helped me stay active and in shape.
3. DOOOO NOOOTTT stress about losing weight. That won’t help, at all. I know from experience.
4. Eat only when you’re actually hungry. Think to yourself, “am I actually hungry or am I just craving this food, or am I jsut eating because its the time of day I usually eat?”
Good luck. 🙂
I used to weigh 195 and am now down to 145 pounds.
