Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Daniel asks…

How can I lose a little weight easily?

I want to lose a little weight, and my mom won’t give me any money for anything like weights and stuff. I can’t go outside because it’s really cold and I don’t want to really diet. I eat kinda healthy and I do have P.E. in school but it will soon be over. How can I lose weight quickly and without starving myself. If you don’t know please don’t make any stupid comments. P.S. – I’m trying to lose between 10-12 pounds. Thanks:)

How can I lose a lot of weight easily?

Hi I’m 13 and I have been trying to get rid of my fat I’m 158 and I am 5’3 , my Bm is around 73 and I really want to lose 20-25 pounds within a few months. Is this possible and if it is how do I without counting stupid calories, can I just workout hard eat healthy foods and drink water and lose weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The answer to your question is yes, you can work out hard and eat healthy foods to lose weight.

What I recommend is first figuring out how many calories you should be eating per day to lose 2 pounds per week. This is the safe amount of weight you can lose per week while dieting and exercising.

After you figure out how much you should be eating in calories then start eating healthier foods and don’t consume past the amount of calories you should be eating.

Then start exercising. If you don’t want to go to the gym there is many free resources such as http://sweatn.com that will let you work out from home for free.

Lastly, stay dedicated. Losing weight is not an easy task. It all comes down to dedication and discipline. The only one that can do it is you, so you have to believe in yourself. For some people reading a inspiration quote everyday helps them, others focusing on the long term goal of being who they want to be / looking how they want to look is enough.

Sounds like you already know the recipe, so it’s time to dedicate yourself.

Good luck!

9 WAYS TO REDUCE WEIGHT WITHOUT EATING LESS

( ! ) Don’t starve yourself.

Lowering your calorie intake will make your body reduce the rate at which it changes calories into energy. In other words, reducing calorie intake slows down your metabolism and holds onto your fat. Starving yourself will actually make it harder for you to lose weight. Food is fuel or energy and when you skip meals, you are not working on energy hat can be burned off. As a defense mechanism, your body clings to calories and slows down your weight loss.

(2) Get a breakfast boost.

Connie Dickman, a registered dietician and nutritionist advises not to skip breakfast. According to her, breakfast gives you energy so that you are not starving as the day go on. When you skip breakfast, you become so hungry that you eat more than you should or eat the wrong foods.

(3) Eat complex carbohydrates.

Practice eating complex carbohydrates rather than simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are found in food such as candy, cereal, softdrinks and ice cream. They are easily absorbed by the body and they stick to the ribs, according to weight loss specialist Dr. Daisy Merey. Simple carbohydrates have a tendency to make you store more fat.

On the other hand, complex carbohydrates which are found in pastas, potatoes, beans, whole grains, vegetables and fruits contain “good” calories that are easily burned.. In switching from a meat-based diet to the one tat is starch-based, you get the same amount of food with only 25% of the calories, says John McDougall, M.D., Director of the McDougall Program at St. Helena Hospital.

Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are high in complex carbohydrates. You will eat more, but you will lose more, because the feeling of fullness will hinder you from eating high-fat foods that make you gain weight.

(4) Eat Fiber.

Kristine Clark, the Director of Sports Nutrition at Penn State University says that eating high-fiber foods can help people keep their weight under control. Because foods hat are rich in fiber help people to slow down their eating and foods that are high in fiber contain less fat and sugar.

According to Nutrition experts, one should eat 20 to 35 grams of dietary fiber a day. There are two kinds of fiber in foods. The soluble and the insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers are those that dissolve and thicken in water. Foods that contain soluble fibers include broccoli, zucchini, barley, oat bran, beans and citrus fruits.

Insoluble fibers include skins of fruits and vegetables and the external coatings of wheat kernel.

Fiber is an essential ingredient in one’s diet because the insoluble form prevents constipation. Studies revealed that the soluble fibers play an important role in reducing cholesterol.

(5) Drink water.

Water helps the body break down fat and process waste according to Dr. Denise Bruner, a Virginia bariatrician, describing how water as part of her diet, helped her to shed 62 pounds. One should drink eight eight-ounce glasses of water a day.

(6) Exercise and be active in household work.

T o exercise is one of the best ways to maintain your weight down. Exercise helps you to burn calories. According to Franca Alphin, Nutrition Director at Duke University Diet and Fitness Center in North Carolina, “You can lose weight without exercising, but you won’t maintain the weight loss.” Exercise may not be a major player in weight loss, but it is the number one player in preventing weight gain,” says Jack H. Gilmore, Ph. D.

Inactivity burns fewer calories each day, which are stored as fat. Daniel Kosich, Ph. D., the author of Get Real: A Personal Guide to Real-Life Weight Management and an advisor to Jane Fonda Workouts, says regular activity is a critical part of successful weight loss. It doesn’t have to be a strenuous workout. You can burn calories just by doing ordinary chores such as gardening and housework. “Pushing a mop or vacuum across the floor increases your heart rate and creates resistance ,” says Barbara Baldwin, Information Services Director for the American Running and Fitness Association in Maryland.

“Raking leaves, stroveling snow, sanding, painting and waxing the car are calorie burners.”

According to Laura Gladwin, California-based exercise physiologist, gardening is a great exercise because weeding, pruning and planting require bending and stretching. “You will burn 1,000 calories by doing three-and-a-half hours of garden or yard work in a week,” she says.

Ellen F., a crafter in Coral Springs, Fl, found out that dieting wasn’t enough to help her shed 20 pounds of excess weight.. She joined a low-impact aerobics class at her community center. By doing aerobics excercises for an hour, three times a week, she lost 20 pounds much quicker than simply dieting.

Walking is one of the healthiest, easiest and cheapest form of exercise. Stroll briskly through a park or around your neighborhood. Walking will be more pleasurable if you do it with a friend..

Suzanne Rossa, an exercise physiologist at Good Samaritan Health and Wellness Center in West Palm Beach Florida says, “Aerobics excercises improves your circulation , increases blood flow,allow you to have a better blood pressure and decreases the amount of fatty substances in your bloodstream.”

(7) Build muscle.

Tufts University studies revealed that strength training – the kind that builds muscle will raise your metabolic rate, which enable you to burn calories. Strength training does not always follow that your muscles will grow bigger but they will certainly grow stronger.

Daniel Kosich in his book, A Personal Guide to Real Life Weight Management says, “when you make muscles stronger, they burn more calories. That means that for each pound of muscle you build with strength excercises, you burn 20 to 30 calories a day from your resting energy output or about 7,300 calories a year. You can strength train by using machines and free weights such as barbells.

(8) Follow the Pyramid.

The American Diatetic Association recommends a food guide pyramid that serves as a general list of healthful foods that must be eaten daily. The pyramid has four levels. The top of the pyramid is the smallest part , represents fats, oils and sweets. This group includes salad dressings, butter, ice cream, softdrinks, candies and desserts and foods that has very little nutritional value and can make your calories add up to.

At level two of the pyramid are the milk, yogurt, cheese group, meat, poultry, fish, dry beans, eggs and nuts. These foods provide you with protein, calcium, iron and zinc.. ADA recommends two to three servings daily of this group.

The third level represents the vegetable and fruit groups, which are good sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. ADA recommends three to five servings daily of this group.

At the base of the pyramid are the bread, cereal, rice and pasta. ADA recommends 6 to 11 servings of this group. These foods are source of fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals

(9) Stop taking the following food.

ALCOHOL : a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer contains 150 calories. An

Alcoholic beverage can add 100 to 200 calories to your meal.

Alcohol is stored in the liver as fat.

COCONUT : An ounce of raw coconut contains 100 calories, around 77%

Of which is saturated fat.

CHOCOLATE, CANDY, COOKIES :

They are full of simple carbohydrates, which means they are

High in sugar and fats. The main fat in chocolate is cocoa

butter which is approximately 60% saturated fat.

WHOLE MILK : SWITCH TO SKIM MILK

Whole milk has high content of fat.

SUGAR : Softdrinks has very high sugar content.

MARGARINES : Contain hydrogenated vegetable oils.

how can i lose this weight easily?

okay, i’m 15. i’m 5’2 in a half. 136 lbs. and kyna hippy/thick. not the nasty lookin’ thick, but it’s noticeable. i wanna lose b/c technically i’m overweight, and i really wanna be a healthy weight for my size. how can i lose it easily?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diet´s don´t help at all,
So I do not recommend you do that,

My mom is a neurologist, and the easiest way to lose weight is to make a balanced healthy ´diet´,

Don´t cut off ALL junk food, it´s bad for your body to not get sugar and things like that,

If you get craving for say, M&M´s, eat a couple, not the whole bag,
there´s also many ways you can reduce high fat foods to healthier and flavorfull meals.

Excersise is not entirely necesary, but it speeds up the lose weight, and it keeps you healthy and it shape, so you can try that too.

I know this because I myself was slightly overweight, thankfully, im now at a ´normal´ size for my height -5´6 and a half, and 142-

Hope it helps~

Weight Loss Tips

The most important thing to remember as you begin any weight loss plan is that there is no quick fix or magic pill that will help you lose your extra pounds and keep them off. The most successful weight loss plans combine healthy eating, balanced nutrition and regular exercise to help you lose weight. Often, people find themselves in a perpetual diet cycle, always thinking they have a few pounds to lose, or yo-yo dieting – losing weight and then gaining it right back, only to start dieting again. By putting more emphasis on improving your health, experts agree that you can raise your overall self–esteem, resulting in healthier eating habits, long-term weight loss and improved health. Successful weight loss over the long term will likely include: adhering to a healthy lifestyle (including nutritious foods and physical activity), making changes in the way you think about food, and paying attention to reasons why you eat (emotions, boredom, or reward vs. Actually being hungry). To lose weight, you must eat fewer calories than your body uses. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to eat less food. There are many ways you can continue to enjoy foods you like while working towards your weight loss goals, creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle: Create lower-calorie versions of some of your favorite dishes by substituting low-calorie fruits and vegetables in place of higher-calorie ingredients. The water and fiber in fruits and vegetables will add volume to your dishes, so you can eat the same amount of food with fewer calories. Most fruits and vegetables are naturally low in fat and calories and are filling. Choose sensible portion sizes. Using your measuring cups at home will help you learn how large a recommended serving size really is.When dining out, try splitting an entrée with a friend or family member or saving half of your food for later. Choose low-fat dairy and meat products. In addition to helping you lose weight, low-fat dairy products can help to prevent and lower high blood pressure. Engage in daily physical activity. Engaging in some kind of physical activity – whether it be gardening, dancing, walking, or playing golf or tennis – will enliven your physical and mental health and help to keep the extra pounds off. Plan your meals and snacks ahead of time and tune into the feelings you experience while eating. By planning your meals ahead of time, you will be less likely to binge on less healthy foods and more inclined to eat in moderation and when you are truly hungry (not when you are feeling unpleasant feelings such as boredom, stress, or loneliness).

Weight loss tips

weight loss tips to help you lose weightNeed some help with your weight loss? Below are some great weight loss tips to help you that extra bit, these weight loss tips offers pointers for pratical, effective weight loss tactics. Tips include healthy eating advice, support, exercise, preparation of food and much more. Enjoy!

Tip #1
To make a delicious low fat mayonnaise simply combine one teaspoon Dijon mustard or one teaspoon satay sauce with low fat yoghurt.

Tip #2
Avoid skipping meals. Eating increases your matabolism, thus skipping meals can ‘trick’ your body into slowing down its metabolism in an attempt to conserve calories during a period it perceives as a situation where limited fuel is available.

Tip #3
Stuffing vegetables such as capsicum and zucchini with tasty fillings of mince chicken, meat or tuna are easy to do and very healthy and low fat.

Tip #4
Pita bread roll ups or wraps with salad fillings, are great for picnics, school lunches or to take to work.

Tip #5
Exerise, exercise, exercise! Exercise increases your metabolism and burning off excess fat. When is the best time to exercise? Our metabolism slows down about 8 hours after we wake up, so 30 minutes of exercise in the evening, before dinner will increase your metabolism for about two to three more hours just when it was starting to slow down. This produces a significant increase in fat burned off, even after the exercise is over.

Tip #6
Adding alfalfa or mung beans to your salad brings in extra iron.

Tip #7
Good cooking and healthy eating begins with learning about nutrition and how to prepare healthy recipes.

Tip #8
Plan the week’s family menus in advance and just purchase those ingredients at a once weekly shopping trip.

Tip #9
Be positive! The more you feel good about yourself the easier and faster it is to lose weight.

Tip #10
Learn how to make over family favourite recipes by cutting out fats, salt and sugar. Substitute non fat yoghurt for cream, stir fry minus oil and use herbs and spices instead of salt for flavour.

Tip #11
Please consult your doctor before beginning an exercise or weight loss program.

Tip #12
Eat slowly and chew each bite completely to decrease your appetite

Tip #13
Eat three small meals and two snacks daily instead of two or three huge meals.

Tip #14
It’s a myth that you need oil to stir fry! Use chicken stock instead and cut down on hidden fat.

Tip #15
There is more fat in a plate of toasted muesli than a plate of bacon and eggs! Purchase non-toasted muesli instead.

Tip #16
Avoid removing the skins of fruits and vegetables – most of the nutrients are concentrated just under the skin.

Tip #17
Hot water with a squeeze of lemon before breakfast get the metabolism going for the day, helps prevent constipation and is excellent for the skin.

Tip #18
The best source of vegetable protein is from soya beans or tofu. All legumes provide some protein, so include lentils, lima beans etc into casseroles and soups.

Tip #19
Find a weight loss “buddy,” club, or support group. This will help you stay with your weight loss program.

Tip #20
Though difficult, try not eating 3 hours or more before bed time.

Tip #21
I cut up a whole watermelon and leave it in the fridge to snack on over a few days. It is sweet, juicy, yummy and filling. It really has helped me because when i go to the fridge looking for something when i see the watermelon it stops me having something more calorie laden. Having it handy so that it is just as easy to eat as a biscuit or whatever makes the world of difference. Eating at night time is my downfall too. I cant just not eat at night so i allow for it in my daily eating. I have those 97%fat free rice crackers and/or fruit or air popped popcorn. For me i just cant not eat at night time. I find i dont sleep very well if i go from dinner time to breakfast without anything. Although we do eat dinner very early (around 5.30) because we like to eat with the kids. I think it is best to know your weaknesses and try to work around them. Also, i dont think it can be said too many times – drinking water makes all the difference.

Tip #22
Make pasta your fast food choice – you can prepare a pasta meal and salad in 10-12 minutes.

Tip #23
Chilli helps to speed up metabolism – even the milder varieties.

Tip #24
Omelettes can be made just using egg whites! A dramatic reduction in fat.

Tip #25
Limit salt in cooking. Other names for salt include baking soda, baking powder, MSG and soya sauce.

Tip #26
For low fat gravy, drop ice cubes into the baking tray. Fat will stick to the ice cubes and can then be removed.

Tip #27
Chew sugarless gum. It speeds up the digestive system, burning more calories, and sometimes kills a craving.

Tip #28
Drinking hot water as appose to cold water can increase the speed of your metabolism and burn more calories.

Tip #29
Make casseroles the day before use. Refrigerate and skim fat from the top before re heating.

Tip #30
Always eat before you go food shopping and always prepare a shopping list. Only purchase food which relates to your weekly menu plan and don’t be tempted to buy goodies.

Lizzie asks…

how can i lose weight within 2 weeks?

im nearly 16, i feel so unconfident about my body.
i’ve recently died my hair black, and i have really pale skin. but it works on me.
i just want a nice body to go with it, im curvy, which makes me feel fat, but then i look in the mirror and i just look so discusting.

i want to lose a little weight within two weeks, is that possible?

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s possible to lose 5-10kg in 2 weeks.

Maybe in first week eat mainly detox foods. Main one is some lime or lemon juice first thing in the morning.

Eat low fat whole foods from the very start.

Try and cut out fatty meats.

Make all your meals yourself, takeaway is not good if you want to lose weight. Make healthy snacks for when you are too tired to make something.

Like celery sticks or scones made with soy milk and wholemeal flour (2 tsp baking powder per cup flour).

Fish, lean chicken and kangaroo are all low in fat.

Try not to eat processed foods as well.

Remember not to restrict food either this usually leads to binge eating. Just eat until you are full, never any less.

You need energy to exercise as well. So try and eat filling, healthy food that gives you energy.

Big breakfast is good because when you move around during the day it helps with digestion. Smaller meals later is good. The european way of eating with big dinners is good in colder climates where you need fat to keep warm.

30 minutes a day is enough and if you miss a day try not to get angry at yourself. The more the better though if you want faster results.

Making healthy changes is showing respect to yourself.

Remember some fat is good as well. The healthy range for women aged 20-40 is between 21% and 33% fat. Measure your fat %, BMI and weight every few days. Set a realistic goal and adjust it if needed after the first week.

James asks…

how to lose weight in two weeks?

i need to lose weight for baseball season…in two weeks

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
