Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Ken asks…

How many yogurt should I consume for weight loss?

I heard that by consuming yogurt will promote weight loss, and I want to know how much fat-free yogurt I must consume in order to lose weight. What does three servings stands for?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Technically speaking, losing weight is simple — just cut your daily intake of calories and exercise more. When your organism finds it cannot extract the necessary energy from the food you consume, it will start burning the fat deposits in waist and other parts of your body. So, the most natural way to lose weight is to keep to a diet, which reduces the energy your consume and do regular exercises to burn energy.

While this approach to weight loss is most natural and healthy, it is not easy. No wonder that a lot of so-called weight loss pills were developed, which make it easier to lose weight. One of the most popular categories of these pills are fat blockers and fat binders. They work by reducing the amount of fat that your organism assimilates from foods. Fat blockers (the most well-known example is Orlistat, marketed as Xenical) in particular inhibit the lipase enzyme in the intestines which breaks up fat making it ready for digestion. As a result, the fat cannot be absorbed by the organism so it passes freely through the bowel. Fat binders work by binding to the fat molecules, again making it unabsorbable by intestines. Fat blockers and binders have very nasty side effects (among them are uncontrollable foul-smelling anal discharges.) Naturally you cannot expect that removal of fats from your diet in such a way will be healthy.

Another category of weight loss supplements includes appetite suppressants. They reduce your appetite by making the organism think it is already full. One of the most popular herbal appetite suppressants is Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia is a cactus-like plant which grows in South Africa. Its appetite suppressing capabilities were well-known by Bushman who used it during their long hunting trips. Since Hoodia Gordonii is a purely natural treatment, it doesn’t have any side-effects associated with synthethic prescription appetite suppressing drugs such as Phentermine.

Betty asks…

What is a free website to create a weight loss challenge for a group of people?

My sorority wants to do a weight loss challenge based on percentage on a free website. We like weightlosswars.com’s competitions, but they charge per person to do the challenge and a lot of our girls can’t do that. We need a free option that’s easy to use and easy to track. Thanks!

Carol asks…

What would you recommend as a weight loss supplement?

I am in my early twenties and I am looking for a little bit of help in weight loss. I am looking for a good supplement to buy. I do not want something that just curbs my appetite, I would like a little help with that but also something that can help speed up my metabolism. Any ideas? Something that has personally worked for you or someone you know.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you’ve got a basic multivitamin in your medicine cabinet you already have the only weight loss supplement you need. Be advised that no “dietary supplement” including multivitamins are approved or proven to the FDA. That is why they must be labeled as supplements and not proven drugs.
80% of weight loss is diet.
You can eat a healthy diet and lose weight.
You can eat a healthy diet and exercise and lose more weight.
You can exercise and eat a poor diet and not lose and even gain weight.
A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk and have a more positive lifestyle!
You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them. A high fiber diet increases the metabolism.
Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup. Oatmeal with berries or a bit of fresh honey is also good.
Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
I know it goes against everything you’ve heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
Next, take an age appropriate basic daily multivitamin. Don’t look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients.
You have to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the natural toxins.
Last, you need to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep depending on your age. All recent sleep studies report a connection between poor sleep patterns and weight gain. This includes going to bed as close to the same time every night including weekends. Most of us stay up late Friday and Saturday night and it throws us off.
You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.

I lost 30 pounds in 5 months by spending my money at the grocery and gym and have kept it off for over two years. Less than 3% of people that attempt weight loss lose it and keep it off for two years. It is not easy. It is a lifestyle change. You need to change your perception of food and dieting from “denial” to “what is right to eat”.
Good luck and good health.

Michael asks…

Where can I buy the Acai Berry supplements without getting ripped off online?

I am wondering were to buy the Acai Berry pills without risking the possibility of getting a ridiculous online bill later on. Can you buy them at a health food store? Costco? Walmart? Shoppers Drug Mart? I heard they have amazing health benefits besides just weight loss.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world! …Hidden within its royal purple pigment is the magic that makes it nature’s perfect energy fruit. Açaí is packed full of antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids.

I just started taking it 3 weeks ago and have lost 8 pounds. I have been working out and some time on the tread mill have helped as well. I ordered a free trial online and so far so good. You can purchase locally at stores but it was easier for me to have them shipped directly to my home.

If you are really looking the best way to lose weight,
I suggest doing what this mom did and combining the Acai diet with a cleansing program for the best result

Susan asks…

What is the best weight loss supplement for someone who has trouble losing weight?

I have tried acai berry and colon cleanse combination, hydroxycut, lipozene, metabolife. And while i was on these i either did a 1000 calorie a day diet or weight watchers. I want a fat burner that actually stays true to the title as a fat burner. Im the biggest i have ever been and i need extreme work done

weight loss cardiff answers:

You have tried every unapproved diet pill available at the grocery. Weight loss supplements are called “supplements” because they are not proven drugs. Under a bad law passed in 1994 diet pills, protein powders, oils, even soaps can claim they cause weight loss as long as people don’t report injury or harm. So we don’t find out until injury has occurred before we know if they are safe or not. Quite a big difference from an approved drug that is extensively tested.

Ruth asks…

Can anyone recommend a good weight loss supplement with little to no side effects?

I need a boost to help in losing some extra weight. I have tried a few different products before, but they seemed to do more damage than good. I’m pretty clueless about what’s good and it seems to me that people will just try to sell what costs the most. I would like something natural but any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’ve been using a cleansing product that’s been great for me. It provides all the nutrients you need, is easy to follow and the biggest expense is buying new cloths : )
You get a coach to help you (no charge) and as your body gets rid of the impurities the excess fat goes with it. It just melts away.
I’m just a happy consumer of the product, but my coach can give you more details and you can learn of her success at

Good Luck

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

George asks…

Know of any weight loss supplements or pills that actually work?

I’ve been looking into maybe buying some type of pill for weight loss. I’m not really overweight I just want to lose a bit of weight. I’m a full time student and work full time so I’m too exhausted to go to workout. I eat right; very right. Just need a little something more. I’ve done some research on a few of the popular pills and I’m just skeptical, it all just looks like one big scam. Anyone actually take something or know of someone who is and has actually seen results? Thanks a lot. 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

I took trimspa for about 2 months and lost almost 20lbs. I cut out all soft drink and caffeine along with it. I am also a full time student and I feel the same way about being too tired to go and work out. The only thing about trimspa and many other diet pill is that if you have any heart problems they can be very dangerous. There was one problem I had with trimspa was that I got the jitters so I quit taking them. I can’t fully contribute the jitters to trimspa because I cut out a lot of sugar and caffeine.

Mary asks…

Are there any Weight loss supplements or energy boosters that work?

I am a 34 year old mother of three. I recently had to start taking Kepra for seizures. I have went from 138 up to 179 in three months. I have had my seizure medication switched due to the weight gain. However, I have not lost any of the weight I gained. I eat very little, so dieting alone does not work. I have no energy. Any suggestions for increasing metabolism or exercises focusing on stomach and hips?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’ve taken Keppra, so I know that diet and exercise don’t work for that… I found that if I woke up and drank as much water as I could and didn’t eat breakfast for 45 minutes it helped suppress my appetite throughout the day. Just make sure you drink as much water as you can. Avoid products with caffeine in them (that can induce seizures, not to mention losing weight causes your body chemistry to change. The less stress, the less likely you’re going to have a problem). I would also try to start eating more fresh and raw fruits and veggies. Blueberries are good. They have a bit of sugar, but they’ll keep you clean internally. Try to walk for at least thirty minutes in a straight shot every day. The best time for exercise is after the water in the morning. Nothing too strenuous even. Simply walking will wake up your metabolism for the day.

Nancy asks…

Weight loss supplements and the military?

If I take a weight loss supplement that includes doses of testosterone, will I get kicked out or disqualified in the military?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If it’s legal in the U.S.

It’s legal in the military

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Linda asks…

How effective is drinking lemon water for weight loss?

It is told that lemon water helps with weight loss, but how effective is it? Not the detox diet, but just drinking lemon water throughout the day, how much weight could you possibly lose in a week? In a month? I am curious to know how effective it really is in losing weight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Actually, just drinking any kind of water will significantly help with weight loss.

Water helps to improve liver function. Your liver helps you metabolize and burn fat easily. But when you are dehydrated, your kidneys will have trouble functioning, and your liver will have to pick up the slack.

Now, let’s think about this for a minute…

If you were your liver, would you be more concerned with burning fat, or helping out your ailing kidneys? That’s what I thought! And that’s exactly what your liver does.

So, if you want to start your body’s natural fat-burning process, make sure you stay hydrated.

Also, drinking water, whether it’s got lemon in it or not, will help you feel fuller throughout the day. This will keep you from snacking on unhealthy foods and help you limit your portion sizes too.

I hope this helps.

Mark asks…

How long after major weight loss should you give your skin to firm up before resorting to plastic surgery?

If I had some loos skin on tummy and arms after an 80 pound weight loss, how long should I give it to firm up? Im young, 23 years old, but will the skin tighten with exercise or stay flabby?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The thing with a large weight loss is that the weight is generally lost too fast, which doesn’t give the skin enough time to go back to what it was.
After reaching your target weight, I would wait a few months, doing regular light exercise and eating healthily, and then see how your skin is. If you are still unhappy you could look into plastic surgery.

Try this website though, it has some advice about excess skin after weight loss, and non surgical methods. Http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

Good luck. X

Ruth asks…

What is the best weight loss supplement?

I want a weight loss supplement that doesn’t make me so called ‘ill’, i.e. making me poo a lot if you know what I mean. Something that genuinely aids me when I go to the gym to burn more calories etc. And hopefully something that is natural too. Please give me some personal experiences too?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The best supplements for weight loss and specifically fat loss are thermogenics. I have had the most sucess with anything containing caffeine and green tea extract.
Another thing I can suggest that works (this sounds crazy but it does I swear) is cold showers or more effectively Ice baths after a workout.

Ice baths provide a quick recovery and they stimulate fat burning, but they are not recommended if you have a heart condition the initial shock is pretty wicked.

I hope this helps, check out my blog at www.lifeoffitness.co
