Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Sharon asks…

weight loss.?

I’ve been on my new diet for 4 days (the fourth day now) and I’ve already lost 1.76pounds. I only drink water and watch what I eat. I havent been exercising yet coz Im waiting for my treadmill to arrive but I work 8.5hour days and Im on my feet the whole time. I am also using fat blaster max (theyre a herbal diet pill). They stop fats from being stored and boost metabolism.

My question is, do you think the 1.76pounds would mostly be water weight? Or actual stored fats being burned? (Coz in a roundabout way Im not eating any fats coz theyre being disposed of by the diet pill so youd think youd be burning your fat stores straight away). Also, do you think the weight loss will continue like this? or will it plateau?

Oh Im 20 years old. Starting weight of 140.21pounds, current weight 138.45. Im 5’4. And my goal weight is 114pounds.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you know how difficult and challenging it can be at times. Here are some tried and true tips for healthy weight loss.

Healthy Weight Loss Tip #1: Drink plenty of water every day. You’ve probably heard it more times than you care to remember, but it’s true. Drinking at least eight glasses of water every day will help you lose weight quicker.

Healthy Weight Loss Tip #2: Walk twenty minutes every day. You don’t necessarily have to walk. Any kind of exercise that will get you up and moving works great. The point is to move your body every day.

Healthy Weight Loss Tip #3: Reduce your portion size. If you are used to eating two helpings for dinner, cut out your second helping. Another great tip for this is to eat off a small saucer, instead of a plate because you won’t be able to pile on the food on a saucer.

Healthy Weight Loss Tip #4: Limit sodas and junk food. Again, this isn’t easy, especially if you’re used to drinking lots of sodas throughout the day. Start slow by cutting your intake by half for a week. The next week, cut it in half again. Easy does it, and you don’t have to cut it all out at once.

These healthy weight loss tips will get you started on your way to losing pounds and inches. It isn’t easy, but losing weight is possible. Start your new weight loss plan with these simple tips and you’ll see results.

Question does any body think the weight loss tea would work in this matter

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am 5’4″ 145 pounds and a 55 year old grandmother. I have no idea what my measurements are. I haven’t taken them in decades! I know as one gets older one’s butt tends to disappear and flatten out. My point is, as we have kids and age, our bodies change. That does not mean you can’t change some of it, but be realisitc with your “ideal.”

There is one basic principle for weight loss-burn more calories than you eat. Exercise burns calories and shapes the muscles, so that is a good thing.

Here are some basic tips for reducing calories.

Read food labels.
Look for foods that are low in fat, low in calories, high in fiber.
Avoid most processed foods.
PIck low fat or non-fat alternatives.
Stay away from ALL fast food. One normal fast food meal has all the fat and calories you need for an ENTIRE DAY. This goes for fried chicken and fish, pizza, hamburgers, etc.
Plan your meals the day before so you have healthy choices.
Eat more fruit and vegetables, at least 5 servings a day, more is better.
Avoid all things with white flour and white sugar in them.
Soups that have lots of veggetables in broth are good. Creamed soups are not.
No chips, unless they are baked. Pay attention to the serving amounts on the package.
Go easy on rice,.pasta and bread. 1/2 cup (measure it) is a serving for rice and pasta!!!

Good luck! I have found that Weight Watchers works for me.

Mark asks…

weight loss?

im not rele trying to loss alot of weight jus sum extra fat that ive gotten since bein in lock up and stuck at home unable to do any real physical activity. Im doing it to look better for my gurl that im seein in two weeks

weight loss cardiff answers:

This is my theory and this is what works for me. Everyone is different so it may need to be adjusted to your own personal needs.

Energy In/Energy Out

Food Intake: 1,200 Per Day

One Pound equals 3,500 Calories

To loose one pound per day, You need to burn your food intake plus your one pound of fat

1,200 (intake) + 3,500 (Outtake) = 4,700 Calories Burn

You must burn at least 4,700 Calories everyday to loose one pound at least. It is very easy to go up and beyond 4,700 calories each day.

Best way to do this is to track your progress on a calorie counter monitor watch. If you do it by the numbers you can loose the weight. It is just a matter of changing the way you think about weight loss.

Once you start wearing your calorie counter you can see the numbers increase and you fill find yourself doing extra things in your day, like tapping your foot while waiting at the light in your car, chewing gum, singing out loud and so on onto of your workout routines. You begin to see that everything you do in your day contributes to the overall numbers needed to loose that pound.

I, myself, have done this recently. Two weeks later, I lost one pant size and 10 pounds. And that is just my current progress. I have used this method previously after childbirth and have gone from 168 to 127 pounds with in two months.

I personally burn 1,000 calories by Walking in my community for one hour in the morning and I also burn 1,000 calories by simply using a stationary bike while playing xbox. I get so involved in playing xbox that I completely forget I am pedaling or working out. Think about it..How many hours have you spent playing video games..why not burn calories while you are doing it.

Water Intake/Less Storage

Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 to 80 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don’t have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Good Food

My favorite things to eat:

Avocado Wraps

Simple: Low Carb Tortilla, Half Avocado sliced, alpha sprouts, lettuce, soy bacon…Just wrap it up and eat. You can vary the things you put inside so long as you keep it to approx 4 or 5 items. You want to make sure they are fresh, low calorie and filling. Avocado and mushrooms can replace meats in your meal and still have great taste.

Special K Cereals are fantastic. They have that sweetness that one craves and is so good for you. Calories are low. Great for even just dinner.

First thing in the morning…A Glass of Chocolate Milk. Yup!! Chocolate Milk. We all crave that “got to have” item in the morning. Milk is the best thing you can have for yourself while working out. The chocolate (and you can use Carnation Instant Milk for this but I simply use Nestle dry mix) will give you that sweet “snack” that you need. If you give your body a little bit of it and its in a control way, you will not crave sweets and junk the rest of the day.

Lean Cuisines

Fantastic food! Each meal is approx 180 t0 380 calories per box. So think about your calories. 1,200…You can still have several of these meals a day and still be under your intake requirements.

It’s all about the numbers and watching what you take in and what you burn out. And you know what..If you go over your 1,200 mark for food intake…that’s okay…you simple up your total calories burned for the day by what you took it. So long as you burn off the over all calories to be more than your food intake. Just make sure you stick too it so you can reach your weight loss goals.

Fruits and Veggies

All you want on the schedule listed below.
Bananas are my favorite. They are very filling and can make a meal all on their own.

____

Vitamins

My favorite is ONE A DAY WITH ENERGY…I am in love with this vitamin because I am just like everyone else who loves those quick fix energy drinks. But what people do not realize is that energy drinks can contain 120 to 440 calories in just ONE Can. If you think about it..That is HALF of your allowed calories for food intake. The best alternative I have found is One a day with energy vitamin. Easy to spot, it is packaged in a green label bottle. Just One vitamin a day will give you as much energy as approx. 1 1/2 cans of red bull…WITHOUT the calorie intake.
WoW..now your making progress already because you have made more room in your intake calories for actual healthy food.

_____

Soda/Carbonation

Carbonation is terrible for your system because it bloats your stomach. And when your stomach bloats, your jeans just don’t fit. You can drop one pant size simply by NOT drinking any carbonated drinks all together..Take away the bloat and you have instantly just made it one pant size lower. Besides, Sodas dehydrate you and with that One a Day Vitamin, you won’t need the Caffeine in the soda and it will also cut out those extra calories that you don’t need.
So remove that soda and the energy drinks and just think how much calories you just instantly removed from your daily intake. I normally consume what…four sodas and two energy drinks in one day…that is a total of …. 900 calories. Of what??? Nothing…Those are horrible calories and calories that can be replaced by food which will fuel your body for your day and your workouts.

____

Your Body

Your body is like a computer. You must program your body to do what it is suppose to do so it won’t crash and leave you with a virus. Your stomach is only the size of your fist. So think about it right now, Look at your hand and close your fist. Not very big is it. That is how much food you actually ONLY need to eat, each time you eat for every meal. If you eat anything more than that, you will stretch out your stomach which causes overeating and overweight.

What you need to do is eat every three hours, approx 5 to 7 times everyday around the same time. If you are always giving your body healthy and better food choices (the size of your fist) every three hours, your body will know you are giving it food. It will use that food properly. It will not go into starvation mode or store food away for later because it knows…it will get more in three hours. So what does your body do…it flushes everything out of your system because it doesn’t need it.. Now it knows…you wont’ forget about it and that food is on its way.

____

Walking Buddy

This is the best thing especially for woman. Get a walking buddy. One hour everyday. Just think about how much talking, venting and laughing two woman can do together while walking and yup, you guessed it…it just burns more calories and reduces your stress. You now are more relaxed because you can talk and free yourself of whatever is frustrating you while getting into shape.

What is the best weight loss tea product?

Hi, I want to know what is the best weight loss tea for losing my belly fat!? I exercise five times a week and eat healthy but I want a little more help 🙂 So I want to know what is the best product from people with experience.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have always enjoyed green tea as part of my healthy lifestyle, and would recommend it. I would also recommend a product called tava tea, which I have been using since March. It is the strongest weight loss green tea available, tastes great, but the packs are more expensive than regular green tea. Lasts awhile though. Even longer if you reuse the teabags :p

John asks…

What is more important for weight loss – diet or exercise?

I know the combination is important. But for weight loss – if you don’t change your eating habits at all, but start exercising, the speed of the weight loss is much slower then when you’re dieting, but not exercising at all. This leads me o believe that diet is more important…What do you think?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Diet is much more important.

Running for half an hour will burn about 300 calories- that’s a mars bar, why not just not eat the mars bar?

The best combination is a diet with lots of exercise, for weight loss and overall fitness.

Ken asks…

What are some ways to speed up metabolism and weight loss?

I’m trying to lose weight but the weight loss is slowing down now how can I speed it up?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Remember one important thing…it is far more important WHAT you eat..than how much! You should completely avoid any processed foods, sugary drinks or foods, fried foods..and junk foods.

Rice, Grains, Vegetables & Fruits = ENERGY
& are Very Healthy (eat all you want,but probably will not need to do that since they contain so much energy)…”Fried foods”, “Sweets” & just general “Junk Food” = Fat..Fat Fat..and very unhealthy (you never will lose weight eating such things)

Changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing to do. Steaming vegetables is the healthiest and best way to cook vegetables..There are 4 different inexpensive cooking tools/items you can use to do this….1. An electric “crock pot” or “slow cooker”, 2. An electric ” food steamer “, 3. An electric ” rice cooker with vegetable tray” or 4. A “Dutch oven”/or regular iron skillet with a pot lid using a regular oven ..Steaming is the healthiest way as it retains much of the vitamins and nutrients….Also, despite what the latest “health news” is..dont believe what they say about “carbs”..Eat plenty of rice. And make sure the rice is the real rice. You can find this at most super markets. Indian Basmati rice or Thai Jasmine rice are the two main types of rice eaten in the Asian parts of the world.

Drink plenty of water and try drinking “Green Tea”…but make sure to get the REAL kind of Green Tea..at a small oriental market etc. It speeds up your metabolism and helps you to burn fat. Also very healthy for you. Drink juice and milk also,,but exclude cokes, sweets and junk food from your diet. (very important)

also just do some type of work in the garden each day or walk somehwere nice and peaceful for 1-3 hours per day..and you will see easily 10 lbs of weight loss per month.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

James asks…

is easy weight loss tea a huge scam or for real?

I heard of this web page www.easyweightlosstea.com and offers a free trail. sounds too good to be true!
has anyone tried ordering tea from this site?
A lot of my friends are saying to go to a chinese market or store and buy the green tea there not on the internet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight management is a combination of several things. Tea can have a small effect, but you need to understand that your body is a system issue, not a single element is involved. To really understand weight management, you need to understand metabolic typing, the real roll of fat and oils and how they help you reduce weight, carbs and how they contribute to quick energy, but not long sustained energy, proteins and their roll in hormone production, etc.

A very good book that will give you some incite into all this is, “Life Without Bread” by Christian Allan, Ph.D. It is simple to understand and very good information. Listen to people who know what they are talking about, not marketing types or your friends that have no training in nutrition.

Green tea has a lot of good things, but also some things that are not so good. Caffeine and Fluorine are high in green tea. Fluorine depletes your body of iodine and many people can get thyroid problems from this. Having said that, there are forms of green tea that are available that have these elements removed. The problem is that you need to get a high quality and there is a huge amount of junk out there. If you are interested in a good green tea I drink each day, go to: (800) 370 – 3447 and order the green tea they sell. It is very concentrated form and they use a special process to remove the bad elements and preserve the good quality of the tea. 1 tsp. Is equal to 20 cups of green tea and you mix the concentrate with water. Tastes great and is very good for you.

some easy weight loss tips?

what are some quick and easy weight loss tips

weight loss cardiff answers:

Calorie control is the key. For every 3500 calories you burn, you loose 1 pound. Same thing for gaining, for every 3500 calories that you burn, you loose 1 pound.

Your body naturally burns a certain amount of calories per day WITHOUT exercise. Go to this link: http://walking.about.com/cs/calories/l/blcalcalc.htm. Put in your height, age, weight, and activity level and you’ll get home many calories you burn in a day.

For example, I naturally burn 1800 calories per day, so I decreased my calorie intake to just 1300 per day (1800-1300=500 calories burned per day) hence, with this, I would loose a pound a week (500×7=3500 calories burned per week) Follow me?

This reeeally works. I did this and lost 25 pounds in a few months!!! Combining this with exercise like jogging DRASTICALLY speeds up the weight loss. You’ll see the pounds melting off of you…Trust Me!!

Also, drink LOTS of water (2.5 liters/day), eat healthy (cut out sugar & processed carbs), and split your meals up into 4-5 SMALLER, more frequent meals per day instead of 3 large meals (this keeps your metabolism going strong throughout the day).

Sorry, this is so long, but trust me…this works and it’s easy once you get in the groove of it.
