weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi, you need 3 things for effective weight loss and these are :
1. Well balanced diet.
2. Any physical activity that gets your heart pumping faster than normal.
3. Correct mental attitude.
With these 3 together you basically guarantee yourself the results you seek.

The most important factor is diet, or a better word would be nutrition.In fact, to lose weight is 70% diet and 30% exercise. Its quite simple actually – burn more calories than you consume.Just burn that mantra into your brain. Write it down and stick it wherever you can see it.
You don’t have to be strict or rigid and deny yourself the foods you love, just eat less of the ‘bad’ foods and more of the nutritious stuff. Moderation is the key, as it is for most things in life.

Regarding exercise, the best system is interval training. This is short but intense bursts of activity. An example is walking, then running, then walking again, with no rest in between. This the best because it works by continuing to burn fat and build muscle even when you are at rest, more than any other system. Another reason is that it won’t allow the weight to return, which is the most important element of any successful weight loss system.

For your thighs use squats,lunges,reverse lunges. For your belly DO NOT use crunches or sit ups. Let me repeat that, no crunches or sit ups. All they are good for is a bad back! Use exercises like the plank and side plank, as well as the superman press up. Take the usual press up position and run your hands forward as far as you can, like Superman flying. Pull your abs in tight( like your belly button meeting your spine) and do a press up. Concentrate on your abs. You won’t be able to do many of them and you will feel a burn in your abs like no crunch or sit up can give you!

Another great abs exercise is to stand relaxed, hands at your side. Breath in through your nose and at the same time pull your abs in tight (as with the superman press up, should feel like your belly button meeting your spine). Hold for as long as you can, breath out. Repeat and work towards 8 time in all.Try and do it 2 to 3 times a day. Do this everyday and not only will you have super abs, your back will be strengthened as well and you will feel very relaxed and calm.Trust me, this is a brilliant and not very well known exercise for your abs, back and overall wellness. Also you can do it anywhere and anytime.

Remember, whatever exercises you choose, and whatever you decide to do, don’t expect miracles, just be consistent and disciplined and apply the 3 elements mentioned above and you WILL succeed and see the desired results.

Helen asks…

Weight loss/dieting plans?

What are some good weight loss/dieting plans for 16 year olds? I’m almost 6 feet tall and obviously I’m a female. I would like to lose about 20 pounds (which is a healthy amount for my size) and tone my arms, legs, and stomach. I was considering doing a water diet and taking fruit and veggie supplements in place of foods but by doing that I will most likely gain weight.I’m willing to stop eating any foods necessary. I’m currently not doing any sports but I do plan on doing track this upcoming winter and either lacrosse or track in the spring as well. When I participate in sports I seem to lose weight but when I run on my own or do other types of workouts at home, I don’t seem to drop weight. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss tip 1: Decide how much weight you need to lose – Most people start their weight loss journey by claiming to be xyz kilos overweight. This isn’t a healthy way to project or aim for weight loss. Calculate your desired weight against your height by using reliable methods like the BMI, and set a healthy weight loss target. This is often half the battle won.

Weight loss tip 2: Time management – This is quite often overlooked. Decide which part of your day will be dedicated to exercise, when in the week you will stock up on groceries, and when you will do the cooking – all within your current work and home life routine. If you don’t do this now, your days will be rushed and unplanned, and you won’t be able to sustain your weight loss efforts.

Weight loss tip 3: Stock your kitchen – Keep your house well-stocked with fruits, vegetables, healthy meats, grains, cereals, spices, and flavourers. Follow our tricks to healthy cooking, cooking vegetables for the week, and low-fat cooking posts to understand how best you can stock your kitchen with healthy and delicious ingredients. All of this will go into helping the next step – cooking healthy meals at home.

Weight loss tip 4: Eat healthy homecooked meals – Whether it’s you who’s cooking, a family member, or house help, ensure that every one practises healthy cooking methods, and ingredients. Ask any person who’s lost weight the healthy way, and you will always hear about how healthy homecooked meals were a big reason behind it. Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you’ll start seeing results in no time.

Weight loss tip 5 : Start a cardio + weights workout – A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Of course, variations and forms exist, but any workout that stresses on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.

Weight loss tip 6: Alter your snacking habits . Set those French fries aside, skip that aerated drink, and ban those unhealthy deep fried samosas. Explore the healthy snack world and you will find several appetisers, party snacks, movie snacks and meal accompaniments that’ll satisfy every craving of yours.

Weight loss tip 7: Have at least one active hobby – It isn’t sufficient to rely on just 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity per day. Moving from bed to office chair, and back to bed, isn’t a healthy way to live. Buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family, plan weekend trips, clean your house once a week, dance, play sports, the list is endless. Get out of the coffee shop and dining table rut, and you’ll have fun along with the healthy weight loss

Weight loss tip 9: Drink plenty of water – You’ve known that your body relies heavily on water for all important bodily functions, and yet you skimp on drinking adequate quantities of water every day. Well, it’s time to stop that. Check out some exciting ways to make water interesting and you’ll be packing it away in no time. Do not forget to carry a water bottle to your workout, and take a few sips after every 2-3 minutes of exercise.

Weight loss tip 10: Plan healthy vacations – Why go all the way with healthy weight loss, when one tiny vacation will just come along and topple it all? Healthy vacations aren’t impossible. Take a look at how you can eat smart on a holiday, and then at bodyweight workouts that you can carry with you wherever you go, to understand how to holiday right. Above all, remember that these are lifelong habits that’ll help you stay fit forever and not short term weight loss quickfixes

good luck.

Maria asks…

is this a good plan for weight loss?

ok i started a diet and exercise schedule yesterday, i will walk 1 mile every other day and work out on my exercise machine and ball on the days i do not walk. Also i eat a small breakfast, a slim fast shake or 100 calorie snack for lunch and a small dinner. I know its better to eat more small meals but that just doesnt work for me. do you think taht will work or does anyone have a better plan i could follow?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Losing weight is challenging, so don’t waste your efforts by using the wrong diet plan. I used to be very overweight. I would try different diets and all sorts of things. Eventually I learned through my trial and error, how to spot a real healthy weight loss diet plan that will work and is easy to stick with. Through my experience, I have learned exactly what to look for when choosing a healthy weight loss diet plan. Before you begin any weight loss plan, find out if others have had real results using the diet, and make sure the person who created it is qualified to teach you. I about to show you exactly how to do this so you can finally find a a great healthy weight loss diet plan, and actually stick with it.

Another tip that can save you lots of wasted time and effort is make sure the Author is someone who knows what they are talking about. Find out the author has any qualifications to be teaching you how to lose weight. A good clue that you have found a really good healthy weight loss diet plan is if the program is written by a certified personal trainer. It is very likely that a diet created by someone who has put in the grueling effort to become a certified personal trainer will know what they are talking about, and can help you achieve the body you deserve.

When you find a diet you are interested in, try and see if other people have had real results using it. If other people are having success with it, then it is a good bet you will too. One thing you must look out for is people using fake before and after pictures. They are very easy to spot. The key is to make sure you can see their faces in the pictures or it is probably a scam. If the face is blurred, look for tattoos or birthmarks to determine if the pictures are of the same person. You want to find a healthy weight loss diet plan that many people have used and is proven successful. Also find out and read reviews of other people have used the diet, and see if they had good results.. A good thing to look for is before and after pictures that actually show the person face. If you see before and after pictures that don’t show the person’s face, then they may be fake so why waste your time, and take a chance on it when you can try a diet with real before after pics?

Finding a healthy weight loss diet plan that will work doesn’t have to be hard just remember to make sure the diet’s author is qualified to be giving out advice also look for reviews of the product and make sure other people have had good results with it before you start. You want a healthy weight loss diet plan that has worked for others. If you see a diet showing before and after pictures without showing the person’s face, then the pictures may be fake so don’t waste your trying a shady diet when you can try a diet with real before after pics.

Use these tips and you will achieve your fat loss goals much faster because you will be using a healthy weight loss diet plan that is proven to work.

Donald asks…

Easy 5 stars. Water fasting for acne and weight loss, any tips? Pease?

So I’m doing a water only fast because I recently moved to Sweden and I think from the altitude or not living near an ocean anymore (saltwater) my acne got very bad, and I also gained a few pounds. So any advice or tips? Will I be to weak to workout?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Im on day six of my water fast, and I will tell you right now working out while fasting will prove very difficult. Your body needs to rest so that it can use it’s energy on cleansing. I started my fast because I found out I was allergic to wheat, and had a chronic sinus infection and a HUGE skin rash do to my reaction, within three days the rash is gone and after months and months my sinuses are finally starting to clear out.

Mary asks…

any body got any good weight loss tips?

i am 17 and i weigh 240 pounds…i really wanna lose weight but everything i try i always end up failing at it…..does any body have any good tips that r easy to stick too?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Easy to stick to? That’s where you get into trouble. To lose that much weight, you have to change your entire way of life. You can’t just do this one thing which takes five minutes, and magically become thin.

The best things to do are to be active. Get outside and stop watching TV and playing video games all day. Go for walks and find activities that you like that involve you on your feet.

Try to limit how much beer and soda you drink. That’s a ton of calories you can eliminate easily.

Drink more water, eat less fast food.

Do that, you’ll be all right.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Carol asks…

How much weight should I lose and how?

I am 5 foot 5 young woman and I weigh 109-110 pounds. My goal is to be healthier. How much weight should I lose? What are some of your best weight loss tips?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Health and weight loss do not go hand-in-hand. Yes, if you are overweight, then weight loss can be one step towards better health. In your case, however, you are at the very lowest weight you can be without being underweight. In fact, you are slightly underweight as it is, with a BMI of 18.3.

If your goal is to be healthier, then I will have to advise against losing weight. If you do lose weight, even only a couple pounds, you will actually be damaging your health by causing yourself to be even more underweight.

I don’t think you need any weight loss tips right now. It would be much healthier for you to gain a few pounds than to lose an ounce. If you truly are working to achieve better health, then I recommend you focus on eating three healthy, balanced meals every day, and get in at least thirty minutes of exercise. In addition, if you’re drinking 8 glasses of water per day, you will be well on your way to superb health.

Your weight is already very satisfactory, hopefully you’re aware of that. Be healthy! 🙂

Cheers.

Mandy asks…

How fast did you lose the baby weight?

Any weight loss tips would be beneficial. Tips for jump starting weight loss? I really need to get out of these maternity clothes! Has anyone tried Weight Watchers?

I am breastfeeding and baby is 5 weeks old.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I gained 33lbs during my pregnancy.

After baby was a different story, I was not taking care of myself like I should and I was actually heavier not pregnant then being pregnant.

This summer, I realized that I had to do something. My daughter was almost two years old. So I woke up one day and decided to join Weight Watchers. It was a huge eye opener. You learn portion control, healthy habits and my favorite “it is ok to waste”. I started June 1st. I lost 42lbs by August 31st. I watched what I ate and went walking every night. I cut out pop immediately and eating out. I discovered out of all fast food Chipotle is the most healthy. With no sour cream or cheese and eating only half it is only 6 points! Which is great for a meal. I would check out Weight Watchers online, they have a program for breast feeding mothers. It is also better to watch what you eat and be healthy then not care, so I would not listen to previous answers.

Paul asks…

What is your number one fitness/health/weight loss tip?

What is your number one health, fitness, or weight loss tip, quote, site, or insight? Also, how much weight have you lost, if any?
Thanks!!

weight loss cardiff answers:

My first tip is determination….if you don’t apply yourself to exercising and eating a healthy diet then you are going to waste your time more than anything else.
I jog for 15 minutes daily, chest on mondays followed by biceps, triceps, back/shoulders, squats.
Diet is the most important factor that affects the weight so I stay away from fats and junk foods.

Mary asks…

Looking for info on weight loss tips for men?

Does anyone know a real site with weight loss tips for men?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here’s a few tips that work for me:
I spend a long time in front of a computer screen. Often I just stare at the monitor for up to 15 seconds while a page load or a document gets printed or whatever it is that the computer is doing.
When this is happening I lift my hands up over my head and then bring them down. I keep on doing this until the computer has finished whatever it is doing and it requires some input.,. From me.
I do similar exercises like getting up from the chair and sitting down again. I sometimes might be standing up and might type a few sentences while standing.
Combine this with drinking only water and I am doing something to lose weight. It is not much but doing it all the time it does help in losing weight.
I might swap this sometimes. I might decide that I will not do the arm exercise for a week but that week I will get off the lift two floor below and walk up the last two floors.
So long as when I go to bed at night I can say that that day I have done something extra to burn some weight, I am happy.

Betty asks…

What are some good weight loss tips?

I need some weight loss tips!
In two weeks i need to lose about 5 pounds for wrestling

i need some tips and some good things to eat and do!
thank you

weight loss cardiff answers:

For wrestling I would run alot, eat grilled chicken and vegetables all the time, eat every 2-3 hours. Remember your goal is to burn off more than you are taking in, so you will lose weight. Eat everything steamed, and less amounts of food, but more frequently.
