weight loss cardiff answers:

Just burn more calories than you take in. If you eat 1400 calories, burn 1600. So write down your calorie intake all the time. No matter what you eat, breakfast lunch dinner dessert snacks. Everything

weight loss cardiff answers:

Change your eating habits, no soda, no processed foods. Control your portion sizes. You can try apple cider vinegar. Search for it online. You can do exercise videos, join a team, go to the ymca, do dance, martial arts, swimming, there are lots of activities you can do! You will want to do more than 45 mins. It also depends on the kind of exercise you are doing in those 45 mins.

Donna asks…

how can you lose weight easily and fast??? like 20lbs -30lbs in a month???

weight loss cardiff answers:

The rule of thumb is that that any weight loss rate faster than 2 lbs or a kilo a week is too fast and you will regain all your lost weight.

Slow and steady is the way to go if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You need patience.

8 lbs a month is the way to do it or 4 kilos a month.

More fruit and vegetables and smaller servings of red meat, poultry, potatoes and chips might help.

Laura asks…

Are calorie calculators accurate for weight loss? Has anyone tried them and found them to be dead-on?

For instance the ones that tell you:
If you weigh “a” and you want to weigh “b” and your bmi is “c”, then you need to take in “x” calories per day in order to achieve your goal.

Also, if so, Is there a particular website’s calculator you trust?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is way too much individual variation in metabolism and digestive efficiency for any of them to be all that accurate. On top of that, you have the error in measuring your caloric intake.

Robert asks…

Can I really lose weight by just cutting calories?

I used a weight loss calculator that said if I consumed 1200 – 1300 cal per day I would lose 2 pds a week. So I can eat whatever I want, as long as it doesn’t go over those calories? Like today I only have on meal, but it consists of a stromboli and a Mountain Dew.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes however it is really hard to stay within those caloric amounts. But it can be done.

Carol asks…

Why am I losing more weight than the weight loss calculators predicted?

Before I came up with my weight loss plan, I utilized about 5-6 different weight loss calculators online, all of which asked me for my sex, age, height, weight, activity level, and the amount of calories per day that I planned to consume. I put everything in, and said that I would be eating about 1000 calories per day. All of the calculators told me that I would lose about a pound a week. Even the other types of calculators that asked for your weight goal and time told me that I would have to eat about 1000 calories per day to reach my weight loss goal.

So why am I losing 4 pounds a week on this diet plan? I’m not being more physically active.

weight loss cardiff answers:

It sounds like you are basically starving yourself. A lot of your initial weight loss may be water. Also, those calculators may be telling you what is a healthy and sustainable weight loss rate. It’s hard to say, really. If you continue to lose weight at this rate, I would talk with a Doctor.
Also, it really is in your best interest to start incorporating some low-impact activities, like walking for 30 minutes every day.
