Susan asks…

What is the best quick weight loss plans. ex. slimfast or lean cuisine.?

My friend needs to drop 30 pounds fast in order to recieve an acting role. We don’t have the time to create all the healthy foods and such so we were going to buy some things such as slimfast or lean cuisine. However, has anyone actually tried these and such? And by the way, she is parterning this with an excerise plan. Not just eating this stuff. Thanks to everyone that helps.

weight loss cardiff answers:

None of that diet crap works, honest to God, just eating healthy and cut back on eating so many snacks high in sugar helps. I am a small person and stay that way because I always eat breakfast (healthy…no sweet junk) and I stay away from sodas yet sometimes I let my sweet tooth get the best of me…plus I work out 5 times a week for about an hour. Its hard work to stay in good shape but it pays off in the end.

Chris asks…

weight loss…?

Does anyone know of a specific weight loss plan that i could follow? i’d like to lose weight and as quick as possible. by weight loss plan, i mean meal plans plus workout tips. i would like to make my legs slimmer…thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

The key to successful weight loss is to adopt a dietary approach that will promote lasting fat loss and by that eliminate the need for future dieting. Of course, no one dietary approach is right for everyone.

There is, however, a specific, effective, natural weight loss plan that might suit you well. It consists of eating the Paleolithic kinds of foods that our ancestors ate, which are natural for us to eat. This type of diet excludes refined or processed foods (apart from a few treats/cheats a week). It consists of eating natural foods in whatever amounts you like, so you never need be hungry

I’ve given the Internet link for the free diet, and the free fitness workout tips that accompany it, at the bottom of this answer.

If you are interested, at that same resource there are two free e-books: “How to Stop Emotional Eating” and “Meditation An Aid To Weight Loss.”

That specific dietary approach works well because our ancestors didn’t evolve eating carbohydrates. As a result, our bodies are: well equipped to consume good fats and proteins and poorly equipped to consume refined/processed carbs.

When we adopt a natural weight loss diet more like the one our Paleolithic ancestors had and begin to move (exercise) more often, as our active ancestors did, we can lose weight fairly quickly and keep the weight off.

The most comprehensive weight loss programs always combine healthy eating with the right kind of exercise because this helps to replace body fat with muscle, which in turn helps to stop body fat from returning.

You will fid the free dietary approach, free exercise program/workout tips, and the two free e-books at the Internet resource listed below.

I wish you lots of luck with your diet, Carissa.

John asks…

What is the easiest way to lose belly fat?

Im on a weight loss diet and im trying to lose my belly. Which foods cause belly fat?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Nina unfortunately there is no “easy” way.
We lose fat over all of the body with a healthy diet and exercise.
We cannot target weight loss or fat burn in any specific area. We can only target muscle growth by choosing the weight lifting exercises for a specific muscle or muscle group.
Most fat loss occurs in the face and fingers first.
God played some kind of joke on us to make the dreaded belly fat the last to be lost.
All you can do is stay on a clean diet of healthy foods and get as much exercise as possible.
Anybody that tells you otherwise is just trying to sell you a magic potion, pill, diet book, dvd set, or piece of junk exercise equipment.

Ruth asks…

Best protein shake for a weight loss diet?

I’m going to start a healthy weight loss diet hopefully. Basically I want to tone up with muscle with workug about and wondering if I should take protein shake. If yeah which would be the best protein shake for it?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Protein shakes don’t make you lose weight, they are just a quick and easy source of protein for your muscles, but muscle burn fat and I hear for every pound of muscle you have you need to eat 50 more calories.

The best protein shake IMO is “Gold Standard 100% Whey”

Donald asks…

How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?

I hear so many different things. I tried to eat 1200-1300 calories a day but I was starving when I did that no matter how many fruits and vegetables I ate. But when I bumped it up to 1400 calories a day, I did not lose weight. I walk 45 minutes 3 days a week for exercise at a moderate pace (about 3.5 mph). I am 145 lbs and 5 ft 4 inches. I would like to get down to about 120 lbs.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Honestly you can eat as many calories as you want up to the normal 2,000 calories, as long as they are the right calories. Remember the right foods burn fat with no exercise. Protein and vegetables are the most important, no sweets or sodas and drink plant of water

Paul asks…

How much possible weight could i lose if i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days?

I have been losing weight for my college graduation on Saturday but i still want to lose 5 more pounds by then. If i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days and go for a walk for 40 minutes a day, could i lose the 5 pounds by Saturday?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try raw food diet. It’s extremely healthy way to go, but only with consulting a doctor (take b12 supplements, take in lots of greens).
I lost 60 pounds in 2 months. That’s 1 pound a day, mate. And I didn’t lose muscle mass. Just hoovering raw veggies and fruits all day. You should avoid nuts and seeds for a while, they have bunch of calories.

Jared Leto used raw food to lose weight after his Chapter 27 movie. I said it all.
I’ve tried it. Only thing that’s missing in raw food is B12, so take alge pills or eat fish to get B12.
And eat everything. Don’t stick to particular foods.

John asks…

What are some better tricks for losing weight?

I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight lately. I have been cutting down on portions, eating healthier, and going to the gym 3 days a week, and I still haven’t really seen any results. Is there something more I need to be doing?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here are a few tips;

WHEN to eat for losing weight…

• Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That’s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… You must eat (the right things, of course)
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don’t starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
• Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast–eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.

WHAT to drink for losing weight…

• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the “hunger” sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don’t believe the slogan “water makes me fat”. Besides being stupid… You might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed!
Don’t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Sprite etc. During the diet. Even lite or light versions.
• Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.

Exercise for losing weight…

• If you want quicker results – exercise would be good.
• Don’t just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts…
I guarantee THIS won’t work for your weight loss…
• Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don’t be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
• Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don’t regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.
• Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don’t shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
• Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.

Good luck!

Nancy asks…

Did I ruin my whole weight loss diet with this food..? I feel like crying please help and be honest?

Okay. So I’m 15, 5’3 and I started dieting when I am 120 lbs. I’ve been on a very good, healthy diet for about a week now, I probably have lost about 2 pounds. So I’m probably around 118 now?

Anyways. So I’ve been doing SO good. Today I went to my friends birthday party, not to mention it is the first day of my period (MASS CRAVINGS). She had SO MUCH GOOD FOOD! lol. She had stuff like chips and dip, burgers, fries, fruit salad, cake, cookies, brownies, etc.. ! Urgh!
As you know, I am on the first day of my period and my cramps were kinda bad. This also drove me to have really terrible cravings, to the point where I was obsessed with satisfying my cravings! I wanted it then and there. So, I gave in at the birthday party. I had about everything there. I’m planning to bounce back to my regular diet tommorrow, maybe start off kinda easy to get back into the groove. I was literally grazing on everything there. xD Will this make me gain a pound, even if I go back to my usual diet?
By the way, I am going to seriously be good about everything once I bounce back into the groove again. I just want to lose 10 lbs to get to 110 lbs. =/

Will this throw me off track?
Come on, you know how it is.. xD Your period can drive you nuts with cravings, especially with your favorite foods laid out in front of you! At parties, everyone eats and has a good time.. Which is what I did. ;_;

I CANT STOP EATING TODAY. IS THIS FROM MY PERIOD? UGHH!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Don’t stress about it. It was one day of binging.

And what is your weight loss goal? The healthy weight for you at your age and height is 115. Losing two pounds a week until you plateau is about right, but be wary of the scale, a normal person’s weight changes throughout the day depending on food and water weight, so expect to see fluctuation.

Way to be healthy, but you are already thin, so don’t get obsessed with it. You are allowed to have junk food, just do it spareingly. (Like only at parties!)

Donna asks…

WEIGHT LOSS, easy fasy and effective.?

I’m about 5’3ft and 135lbs and I’m 15. Am I over weight, and will a water diet help lose weight and clean out my system?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Cool!

David asks…

How to easily add variety in my diet?

I have trouble having a variety of food / meals in my diet. I seem to eat the same thing all the time and I feel it is unhealthy.

What is an easy way to introduce variety into a diet? I don’t mean a weight loss diet, I just mean a normal balanced diet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I try to cook with fresh local ingredients if I can find them. When I go to the market (Currently Costa Rica), I buy lots of all sorts of things with no real plan on what I will be preparing.

Later on, I look at everything that I have, and wait for inspiration to strike.

This is by no means an economical way to shop, it can get pretty spendy depending on where you live. But buying single ingredients and then playing in the kitchen keeps my diet diverse, and cooking interesting.

For lunch yesterday I made roasted red peppers and onion with seared pork and pineapple. It was a departure on the Hawaiian thing. It was a nice snack.

I have no idea what I will eat today, I’m stocked to the rafters with everything I could find at the market. The other day I made a simple marinara with fresh basil, tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil, and then had mango crepes for desert. Those were just the ingredients that I felt like eating at the time.

Many times I do not see any protein that looks interesting, so I go nearly vegetarian for a week.

Anyhow, my advice is to buy the best ingredients that your pocketbook will allow you to get, and then figure out what to do with it later.
