Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Daniel asks…

are there weight loss supplements that actually work?

do you know of weight loss supplements that actually work? im going to the gym and going to eat healthy but would like to also take something to help me as i am very over weight any tips?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Not without a prescription. Eating healthy (including portion control) and exercise is still the best way to lose weight. 1-2 pounds/week is considered reasonable healthy weight loss. You may lose weight a little faster than that at first as your body adapts to eating healthy and exercise. However, more long term rapid weight loss is more stressful on your body and less likely to be permanent.

Cut out sweets, seconds and junk including processed foods and things made from white flour. Use the whole grain version instead like whole wheat or multi-grain bread, whole wheat pasta (which I actually prefer), and brown rice. Drink only water. However, allow yourself one small cheat a week. This keeps you from feeling deprived and gives you something to look forward to the rest of the week.

Some people have no snacks. I find I get headaches if I don’t eat more frequently, especially when first starting to eat healthy and exercise. I’ll allow myself a healthy snack of a small piece of fruit or veggies. Just be sure no dressing or peanut butter with it. Studies have shown that it is better to have 3 medium size meals and 2 small snacks rather than just 3 large meals. This helps keep blood sugar more steady. Plus you won’t feel so hungry at meal times.

Try dividing you plate into quarters. First fill half with fruits and veggies, The other quarters are for the lean protein and whole grain carb. This will help limit your calories and ensure you get plenty of fruits and veggies.

Richard asks…

How heavy do you have to be to be put on weight loss supplements?

I weigh 180 pounds and I’m 5″3. What is the weight that the doctor then puts you on weight loss supplements?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is no answer to your question because…

1. It depends on the patient
2. It depends on the doctor
3. There are no weight loss supplements (that a doctor would recommend). You probably mean medication.

Consulting your physician is the only way to find out about your situation.

Good luck and good health!!

Thomas asks…

this is for girls.. do you have any tricks on easy weight loss?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Only thing that works is diet and exercise. Pills will not work (no matter how many pill companies post on this site that they do)… Even if they do, the moment you stop taking them, you will be back in the same habits that caused you to gain weight in the first place.

Adopt healthy habits bit by bit, and eventually you will be living a healthy lifestyle. Watch your calorie intake to make sure you are eating 1) a healthy, well-balanced diet and 2) not too much. You are looking for a calorie range between 1,200 and 2,000 calories per day.

What’s easy – well, stop drinking your calories, and stop buying food that is bad for you. Skip the deep fried foods, don’t cook in oils, eat plenty of veggies, and don’t buy anything that is from the chip / soda / cookie aisle. If you don’t buy it, you can’t eat it. And, if these sources of empty calories is your main source of food for the day, replacing these with nutritious options will be an easy way to lose weight.

Donald asks…

What are some fast and easy tricks that really work for teen weight loss?

It needs to work within 20 days max

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at http://theweightlossplace .com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Ken asks…

Are weight loss supplements dangerous or do they work?

I am doing some weight training for the first time. I love working out and want the best possible results. I’m seeking to become a personal trainer, do some excersise videos, and be in a few fitness magazines. Do weight loss supplements, such as hydroxycut or slimquik, really work? Are they dangerous for your body? How do they work?

Thank you kindly for answering. I appreciate you all.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Theyre ripoffs… And they arent healthy for you..if you read fine print they tell you to eat right and exercise so that tells you that they dont work.. So its better just to do it the old fashioned way, eat right and exercise!

James asks…

What are good vitamins or supplements to take to aid in weight-loss?

I am 22, 5-11 and 230 pounds. I have started running to lose weight but I have only seen weight gain. I know I am building muscles and weight will increase, but I still feel that I am not losing the weight I could be losing. I am taking vitamin B but I was wondering if there were any other good weight loss supplements to take?

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are no vitamins or supplements that will help you lose weight. If you keep to a well balanced healthy diet then you will take in everything you need on those lines.

Count the calories, spread out the meals to keep your appetite in control drink enough water and exercise. Doing this will lose you weight.

There are plenty of places to find out recommended calorie needs etc.

Avoid extreme diet like Atkins. These do leave you short of essentials. And moreover they are often boring and therefore hard to stick to.

Jenny asks…

Is it bad to take energy weight loss supplements before working out to boost stamina?

I recently discovered that when I take energy weight loss supplements before a work-out that I am able to work-out longer without getting tired as quickly as I would without taking them. I tend to work-out in the evenings starting out with running. (The supplement I am taking is the Quick Trim the ISO-BURN AM.)

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, it is bad and you should not take any weight loss supplements before you work out (or ever for that matter) because they contain ingredients that get rid of your fat (Good and bad fat), which you need to burn in order to gain muscle. If you have no fat to burn, your body starts to burn the muscle instead and you will diminish your muscles as well as your fat, which is very unhealthy. Also, the diet supplement will get rid of key vitamins in your body when it gets rid of the fat, leaving you with less vitamins such as omega 3, iron, and calcium, which works against you when you exercise and destroys the inside of your body. Do yourself a favor, and don’t use the weight loss supplement.
PS. 75% of people who use weight loss supplements gain back their lost weight and usually gain even more weight.

Mary asks…

Are weight loss supplements harmful to teens or children going through puberty?

I’m not asking on advice to lose weight, I just want to know specifically if weight loss supplements might be any more harmful for teens than for adults.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Of course yes, kids and children should avoid the supplements. They should take only the natural diets only. They should do some exercises, that’s enough for teens and children.

Does anyone know of any particularly good weight loss supplements?

Does anyone know of any particularly good weight loss supplements?
I’m looking for something to help curb my appetite (not to replace a meal, just curb the hunger between meals) and boost my energy, but not make me jittery.

I’m just looking for a good supplement that is legal, helpful and over the counter.

I’m not trying to lose massive amounts of weight but I feel like I need a little boost to go with my better eating habits and exercise.
I think I will try the whole chocolate thing!
