Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Helen asks…

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~

How to lose weight easily?

Are there any easy ways to lose weight for a 16 year old girl? I currently weight 100 pounds, and would like to get down to 90. Any suggestions and tips on how to lose it would be useful. Thanks.
I’m trying to get back into cheer leading. Our male coach likes us skinny and says I should lose it or quit.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight isn’t easy, you have to exercise and eat right, im talking 4 to 6 small meals instead of 3 big meals 5 portions of fruits and vegetables, 8 glasses of water, and a lot of exercising. Take a walk, a jog, jump rope, ride your bicycle and join a sport. Make sure u sweat. Minimum 30 min daily. No junk food which include candy and try to reduce your sugar intake. Make sure you’re always on the move it also takes patience.
Good luck!

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).

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Thomas asks…

How do I lose weight-the healthy and life long way-?

I have struggled with losing weight since I was young, I want to lose weight steadily, and (I know I know, should be the priority, but) quickly, but be healthy and make this a life long change.

I don’t want to diet, I’m not cutting out carbs or anything, and the most working out I can do a day, with school and all, is round bout 30 mins to an hour. I need help.

Any tips? Workout ideas? I tend to get bored easily? Whats most effective and burns the most calories? Does milk really help? And what are healthy foods to snack on? I’m a bad muncher!! Thanks!!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

They key is somthing that you enjoy doing. The ones that give drastic results right away are also the ones that dont last over the long haul.

As far as burning fat that means doing cardio. This is as simple as speed walking. Seriously, just speed walking can do the trick. It gets your heart rate up and you can keep it there longer than if you were running or jogging. It is also easier on your joints. It also helps to tone and tighten muscles while burning off those calories. It is free, you can do it anywhere, anytime of day, infact doing it in the morning or afternoon helps to kick start your motabolism. Thus giving you more energy that will last longer through the day.

Like you said healthy eating is the key and not just a diet. Lots of fruits and veggies for vitamins, carbs are good in the morning as they are fuel for your body and mind.

As far as the snacking goes figure out specifically what you crave. Is it somthing crunchy or a bit sweet? With that in mind go to the store and look in the health food isles and see if you can find that crunchy or sweet healthy thing that is actually good for you. Dont forget it is okay to eat somthing bad in moderation. This sounds silly but i like crunchy with a little sweet so i eat one all bran bar. Hey it is good for me, what is wrong with fibre.

Good luck to you and good health to you and yours!

David asks…

I’m seriously sick of this extra weight. How do I take it off? I’m willing to work hard…?

I’m not one of those people that wants to lose weight quickly and easily. I want to lose it quickly even though it may take a lot of work.
I’ve noticed my problem seems to be eating while I’m bored.
I want to lose at least 20 pounds. I am not fat, I just am a little bit on the chunky side.
Help please?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Stop drinking soda completely. Take a soda can and fill it with water (since people like drinking from cans).

While you are watching TV do jumping jacks, lift weights (or heavy objects) and run around the couch.

When you have to get from point to point don’t walk, run really fast. Stop taking the elevator for more than 10 stories.

Everyday when you wake up do 20 push ups, 20 jumping jacks and 20 sit ups the second you get out of bed.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Donald asks…

What is the differences and Health Benifits between 2%, Whole, and Skim Milk?

I’m working on a research paper about dairy products and I’m having trouble finding the differences and health benifits with 2%, Whole, and Skim Milk.
When ever I do a search on the internet all I get are recipes… So what are the differences and health benefits?

P.S. If you reply I’ll give you an invisible cookie. It should arrive at your house in four to eight years unless you live in the United States, then it should take about forty years to arrive.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Whole milk is what is called a complete food, because each ingredient plays its part. Without the fat, you can’t digest the protein or absorb the calcium. The body needs saturated fat in particular (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat can’t do the job) to take in the calcium that makes bones strong. Milk fat also contains glycosphingolipids, which are fats that encourage cell metabolism and growth and fight gastrointestinal infections.

The all-important vitamins A and D are found in the fat. Historically, whole milk and butter were the best sources of these vitamins in the American diet, which had up to 10 times more of both vitamins than modern industrial diets.

In skim and low-fat milk, the vitamins are removed along with the fat, so dairies add synthetic A and D. But Vitamins A and D are fat-soluble; that means they cannot be absorbed into the body unless they’re taken in with fat. Thus, even fortified skim and low-fat milk are not nearly as beneficial as the real thing.

What about recommendations that we should drink low-fat milk to prevent heart disease? A federal study released last week, the largest study of its kind, found that low-fat diets do not prevent heart disease.

Instead, scientists are increasingly finding that whole milk and saturated fats have been given an undeserved bad rap. Many experts say the evidence blaming saturated fats for heart disease is surprisingly weak. Indeed, the main effect of eating saturated fats is to raise high-density lipoproteins, or H.D.L., the so-called good cholesterol. And with H.D.L., the higher, the better. In 2005, researchers from Llandough Hospital in Cardiff, Wales, released a study of Welsh men over 20 years that found that subjects who drank the most milk (both whole and low fat) had a lower risk of heart disease than those who drank the least. ‘The present perception of milk as harmful in increasing cardiovascular risk should be challenged,’ the researchers concluded.

Nor does whole milk cause diabetes. Diana Schwarzbein, a doctor in California who specializes is endocrine and metabolic diseases, found that Type 2 diabetics got worse on the recommended low-fat, low-saturated-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.

Whole milk doesn’t make you fat. The main dietary causes of obesity are white flour and sugar. Sugar is stored in the body as fat. Even white bread provides a big shot of glucose-just like a sugary soda. In fact, the calcium in dairy foods enhances weight loss and reduces blood pressure (the calcium in tablets doesn’t have same effect). For most children, the best source of calcium is milk.

Mary asks…

I have a life long dream, how can I achieve it?

So I’m doing a law degree in Cardiff and I really want to be an Employment Lawyer or a barrister and that’s that.
But, my dream is to be a dietitian. I know exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to food, weight loss, nutrience, vitamins, etc. I think i’d be very good at that. But I understand there’s very low pay if you become a dietitian. I was wondering if I could possibly become a dietitian within spare time or take an early retirement to persue this. If I did have the time/space to do it, just how?
Thaannkss:D

weight loss cardiff answers:

It’s no lawyer type of pay but it’s usually a lot less hours and the pay is pretty decent. I find that it’s higher than the reported average. Many in a clinical start start around $60K. With some years and specializations it goes in the 6 figures.

If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing and you know what you want, then pursue that.

Thomas asks…

I want to lose 4 kilograms?

Hello, im 5 foot 4 and 53 kilograms… i would like to get to 49 before september 4… that means lose 4 kilos! I currently started today by eating 1500 calories a day and low and medium gi index foods. Do you think ill be able to reach my goal? Or should I eat less calories? thanks! Im a girl if it helps

weight loss cardiff answers:

I don’t believe in short-term weight loss programs. Even if you are successful in losing weight through a few weeks or months of a diet or exercise routine, you put it back on as soon you go back to your ‘normal’ lifestyle. That’s why it’s much better to make long-term lifestyle changes that you can live with, for example:

Eat more fruits and vegetables; cut unhealthy fats and sugars, reduce processed food; eat slowly and in small portions…
Make some exercise part of your routine, whether it’s walking, jogging, swimming or playing your favorite sports a few times every week…
Learn to sleep well; reduce stress; maintain good posture…
Know your ideal weight, considering your height and structure, and figure out the calories you can consume, considering the amount of exercise you can do. (Tough one!)
Having said all that, there are times when one needs to get rid of a few kilos quickly. I usually maintain my weight at 75 kg. But every once in a while, I find myself guilty of putting on an extra kilo or two. And for such occasions, I have figured out a diet that helps me lose one kilo per week, without starving or intense exercising.

During my recent trip to Dubai, Saudi and Cardiff, I let my guards down and ate big breakfasts, lunches and dinners; I didn’t exercise at all. I put on 4 kilos in 10 days! Here’s the diet that got me to lose the 4 kilos in 3 weeks:

First breakfast around 7 AM: A glass of juice made from one apple, one carrot and one orange
Second breakfast around 9 AM: A glass of skimmed milk and a banana
Snack around 11 AM (if hungry): A handful berries or grapes
Lunch around 1 PM: Any vegetable or beans salad, sometimes with tuna or salmon, but without any dressing. Or a vegetable sandwich
Tea/coffee around 3 PM: With skimmed milk, without sugar
Snack around 5 PM: Mixed nuts, unsalted, unprocessed, with raisins
Dinner around 7 PM: Whatever has been prepared for the family meal – usually a curry of vegetables or beans or lentils, sometimes fish or chicken, minus the bread and rice.
6-8 glasses of water during the day
No food allowed after dinner – home-made yogurt or a handful of dates when really hungry. It’s best to sleep early.
What about exercise? Just the usual 45-minute walk at night, plus a 2-hour hike once a week. What about dinner parties? Lentils, vegetables, salad, yogurt with a bit of chicken or fish – but no bread or rice.

I am not qualified to advise on food and nutrition, but wanted to share something that always works for me. It may or may not work for you, but what’s the worst thing that could happen?
