Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Joseph asks…

How often should interval training be done?

I recently “plateaued” in my weight loss plan so I incorprating interval training. If I run about 6 days a week, how many of those workouts should be interval training?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well it depends on the type of interval training that you are doing. If its running intervals, you can do them as often as you like. What you do have to watch for is this….Interval training is a GREAT way to burn lots of calories, but they are designed to sustain and build muscle. So if you are doing hardcore interval workouts you could be gaining some muscle weight little by little.

But running intervals should be okay, everyone can have nice muscular toned legs.

So you can do your interval training 3-4 times a week. On your off days take it easy, as your body’s healing time is just as important as your work out…good luck

Daniel asks…

what are some good quick diets to lose weight?

I dont want anything to do with pills or stupid “as seen on tv” ideas. I also dont want any excercise suggestions because thats a given in a weight loss plan.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think it depends on your body type– if you are carb intolerant or calorie intolerant. For me, I am carb intolerant and when I lower my carb intake, I can lose 10-15 lbs in a month the first month. It slows quickly after the first month. Keep in mind, I am also doing proper exercise with cardio and strength training while lowering my carbs. And I am not completely cutting out carbs, just lowering (no soda, easy on the fruit, no candy, cake ect). But if I do not keep at it, I gain it back pretty easily as well. Also, do not starve yourself. Eat 5-6 small meals all day instead of one or two meals. Eating small meals spread throughout the day helps your body to know it wont be starving and keeps that metabolism up.

In any case, good luck.

Can a person with diabeties eat weight watchers snacks?

I am thinking about joining weight watchers to help me with my weight loss.
I may be diabetic and I am getting my test results from my last blood test soon.
I wanted to know if weight watchers is a good weight loss plan for people with diabetes?
And are the snacks they have ok to eat?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have diabetes and have been doing WW for about 15 weeks. At my last doctor’s appointment my sugar levels along with my cholesterol had all come down into the normal range. I am still on my medications but he cut back my cholesterol meds and may do the same with my blood sugar meds after my next appointment if I show that I can maintain the progress that I have made.

You do not have to eat WW snacks (or any WW food) to do weight watchers. You just have to figure out the points for the items that you are eating, add them up throughout the day, and don’t go over your daily allowance. Throw in some exercise and you are good to go. It is really quite easy and no food is prohibited.

Here are some snacks that I eat:
Sugar/fat free pudding cups
Sugar free gelatin
fruits
veggies
Lays light potato chips
100 snack packs (lots of varieties)

I have actually never eaten any official ‘Weight Watchers’ foods. Good luck with the ‘diet’ and with the test results.

Linda asks…

Anyone want to share their weight loss success story?

I just wanted to read peoples success story about the weight they lost and maybe it can also motivate some people to MOVE IT. Please tell us your height, the weight at which you were before the loss, how long it took you, and what was your regime (diet and exercise) like.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m a 5’11” male who is also 59 years of age. When I went to Weight Watchers last November ( November of 2006) I weighed 242lbs. I have always been active throughout my adult life which has helped. When I started Weight Watchers I wanted to set an achievable goal and decided to train to power walk a 20 mile race in Lake Tahoe, CA. Which I did. I now weigh 215 and plan to lose the other 25 I wanted to lose this year. My exercise goal is to run a half-marathon. I’m pleased with my achievements and the organization that helped me realize them. Viz. Weight Watchers. I can be pretty relentless when I set a goal, so I’m hoping for continued success this year.

Sandra asks…

Has ANYONE EVER tried ANY diet pill and saw ANY kind of results?

Any question that anyone asks about diet pills always gets a million answers about how 100% of diet pills are scams and none of them work at all for anyone. I’m sick of that. This question isn’t for nay sayers, if you HAVE tried any kind of diet pill and had ANY weight loss success from it, please tell me your story.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, the new Nuratrim, (http://buynuritrim.co)
I got them for Christmas as a prank, but I lost weight and 2 jean sizes in a month.

Joseph asks…

What are some weight loss tips for picky eaters?

I am an extremely picky eater. I don’t like many of the foods that you would consider “diet” food. It’s hard for me to lose a good amount of weight without basically starving myself. My success stories of losing weight in the past are eating one meal a day, but that is not an option anymore. When I work out, I lose weight, but not fast enough to suit me. Does anyone have any advice? I’m probably asking for a lot, considering I’m so picky.

Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am also a picky eater. What I do is eat the foods I like but in smaller portions and more frequently.
I eat small, 300 calorie portions every few hours. It helps keeps my blood sugar steady and puts my metabolism to work. I started doing this last month, and along with some full-body workouts, I’ve lost 10 lbs.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Firstly u should be rock hard to gain ur goals. And dont be demotivated if u dont get results. Just push on….!!!! So, first try to change little things like not eating unhealthy and try some exercises.
1.Go for a long running session or cycle early morning.
2.After this, eat breakfast like oats or cornflakes with some fruits
3.Avoid foods like pizzas n ol. And depend upon fruits, veggies .
4.When free at home, try doing skipping. Like skip 250 times a day, and gradually increase the skips.
Doing all this will surely make u thin. Just think where u wanna reach and go for it with ur all will….!!!! All the best.! Thnx. Yeeeeehaw….!!!! 🙂

Betty asks…

has anyone tried or know someone who has tried the “weight watchers” weight loss plan?

I am planning on joining weight watchers next week with a friend. i was wondering if anyone had success or failure stories while on the plan. Is it easy to follow? How much weight did you lose and at what rate? Expensive? are the results long lasting? I’m also gonna excersise as well so i hope i get decent results at least by summer

weight loss cardiff answers:

I was on WW last year and it was wonderful. The meetings are about $10 per week. You don’t have to buy all their candy bars and diet books. I would recommend buying the starter pack though. It has dining out guides, points slider, exerciser slider and weekly tips. I lost 6 pounds my first week. I used the points system rather then core. It will work for you. And you will get results. Have faith in yourself. They also don’t weigh you in front of everyone and embarrass you. It’s well worth it. If you choose not to go to the meetings you can still do it at home. The meetings are more for support. You still buy your own food at the store. Tip: Lots of water, and Lean Cuisines. Plus you can still eat out, just count the points. Good luck to you.

What is your greatest weight loss success?

I am looking for weight loss success storys that are motivating and inspiring. I am trying to lose fifteen pounds and I want to stay on track.
Please report back. Any shape, size, and weight … I would just like to hear them. Thank you!
Btw, I did not ask for ways to lose weight. I simply asked for weight loss success storys. That’s all I want. Thanks. All others will get thumbs down for not following the rules.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I lost 43 lbs. On Weight Watchers about three years ago. My success was mostly attributed to Weight Watchers being a very easy to follow plan, one that you can live with forever.

Also, it helped me to always remember that time will pass regardless if I don’t try, so I might as well try and make use of the time I’ve been given. The days and weeks pass so fast, before you know it, six months are gone and you wonder why you didn’t do anything with that time.
