Your Questions About Weight Loss

Helen asks…

*diets…..*?

this is a dumb question but i just HAVE to know. are teens )ages 12-15) supposed to be on diets? i hear both sides, one thats its ok to be on a diet as long as you get enough nutrition, and others say you’re not because it’ll mess up your growth. all i wanna be is skinny but my mom says i dont need to lose weight (long long long story short, i was bulimic. i loss wieght but i wasnt really, just looked leaner and more toned) and so yes, are “growing bodies” alright to be on diets???

weight loss cardiff answers:

You can eat foods with lots of calories such as rice and chicken. Just eat 3 meals a day without snacks in between. My grandma makes food with lots of calories, but she doesn’t eat snacks. Therefore, she is THIN. If you follow my advice, you will be thin in no time!

Lisa asks…

Diets?????

Hey guys I’ve tried many diets— they just aren’t working for me. I need to lose at least 20 pounds… any good diets or tips?

Thanks.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Let me show you what worked for me. No long winded speeches, no fad diet nonsense here. Eat what you like. Just keep it to1200 calories a day (healthier is better obviously) and sweat and I mean SWEAT!! For 30-40 minutes a day 6-7 days a week (60 minutes if you can manage it). Remember the more you sweat the more you can add to your eating plan. Write down everything you eat with calorie content. This will give you an overall look at where you need to make changes. Don’t eat after 6 pm ever. Don’t cheat, you’re only fooling yourself and don’t skip workouts. You should be losing about between 2-3 pounds a week, which is a healthy rate without starving yourself…Good luck!

James asks…

What diets would you consider extreme and unhealthy?

I’m trying to do research about obesity and dieting habits in America. A lot of the diets I am seeing are pretty brutal. What are the craziest diets you have taken? Do you know anyone who has jeopardized their health from dieting? And what extremes have you gone to?

weight loss cardiff answers:

People that do only the one part of the master cleanse. I.e. Distilled water, lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper. When they do it for more than 3 days, it can be very unhealthy since your body isn’t getting minerals like sodium and potassium which are pretty much necessary for your heart to beat!!

I had a friend who did this for 10 days and he lost weight alright, he lost muscle!! He also had decreased brain function….

Robert asks…

What are some fad diets that actually work?

I really want to lose about 10-15 pounds in about a month or so. I’ve always wanted to try fad diets and decided that I think this might be the right time to do it so I can lose some belly fat before swimsuit season. Anyone have any diets that they think might work? Of course i’m also going to be exercising but need some tips on what to eat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Fad diets don’t work on the long term, if they did, you’ll see them everywhere. High chances are that if you do lose 10 – 15 pounds in a month, you’ll likely gain it back very quickly. A regular diet is your best choice. Eating junk foods once in a while is fine, majority of the time you want to eat the foods you know you should be eating, in other words more cooking, less buying microwavable junk.

Nancy asks…

What are some fad diets that actually worked for you?

Diets that involve either packaged meals or ways to eat, like Nutrisystem. I want people to only speak from experience here. I know Nutrisystem seems great but the food like really disgusting and I would not eat it everyday. I don’t want to know about Weight Watchers either. I exericse regularly but I need a good eating pattern. Not looking to be told to eat plenty of vegetables and acai berries. Looking for input on fad meal planning diets. Thanks!

John asks…

How can I lose weight without exercise for a few weeks?

I’m on crutches for a few weeks because of a torn muscle. I still need to lose some weight for wrestling, but i don’t know how without exercise. I know I need to cut down on some food, but what else?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Depending on how bad it is, aquatic aerobics. How serious are you for wrestling if your a senior and HAVE to do well for college scouts then call up a doctor. Just don’t take any of those BS pills. Also INSANE diet. Go organic and NO junk food at all.

Maria asks…

Can dietary fiber make you lose weight without exercise?

I dont exercise as much as I used to, let alone I have not in the past 5 days. Im taking about 20-24 grams of dietary fiber a day. I seem to be losing weight without much effort. Could it be that this is all I needed to lose weight? I know very well about vitamins, psychical fitness etc. A serious question, I hope this information will benefit others also whos bodies are just different.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I am a female getting at least 12.5 grams of soluble dietary fiber a day and yes I am losing weight too.

It seems amazing that fiber is so beneficial for good health. Have you noticed more energy yet? The supplement I’ve been using also combines 15 vitamins and minerals this is awesome. Best of luck to you on your continued weight loss.

Ruth asks…

Is it possible to lose weight without exercise?

Im trying to lose weight. My question is, is it possible to lose weight without exercise? I know if I eat healthier, like without breads,pasta,sugar,salt,things like that, i should really see weight lost. But, another problem is, is that at school they don’t really serve anything healthy. Only thing in the snack line is croissant sandwiches meals or salads. Most of the time the only thing left are croissant sandwiches because the salads are gone. In the croissant sandwich meals their are the croissant sandwich,orange,and baked doritos. Is that healthy enough?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Try eating more veggies and less baked goods (breads/croissants). Definitely cut out the Doritos and replace with a small bag of carrots or something. Bring food from home if you have to. Eating healthy meals will make all the difference.

I would say bring 2 or 3 small bags of cut veggies to school with you as snacks. When you get hungry snack on these instead of chips.

Charles asks…

Is there a way to lose weight without exercise?

I’ve tried exercise videos, crunches, running,….but i never have enough time to keep in shape because of school and homework and stuff. I’m always too busy to put aside time to exercise. Is there a way I can lose weight without exercise?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Cut your calories down to 1200 or so. The general exercise from walking class to class and auto immune functions should burn off a little more than that a day.
If you wear ankle weights (you can get ’em at walmart) during the day, you can burn more. Note that this is pretty slow way of losing weight, but its better than nothing 🙂
oh. And try alli. It really helps. Make sure you read the warnings and recomendations for taking alli before you start it.
Good luck!

Joseph asks…

Best way to lose weight without exercise?

Before you all tell me that the only way to lose weight sensibly is to exercise I know it is. But I recently tore me acl so cardio activity is completely out of the question. I’ve tried eating a sensible diet of 3 set meals a day all of which are very sensible (morning:special k lunch:fruit salad dinner:pasta bake just as an example) and I’m still putting weight on because of the lack of exercise.What have people personally found the best way to lose weight quickly without exercise?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Cut caloric intake

David asks…

Any weight loss success stories out there?

Would anyone like to share their own personal weight loss story, or that of a friend? I could really use the motivation and inspiration 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

One of my friends has has lost 70 lbs in 6 months after she quit drinking and started swimming everyday… It’s not really exercise for her since she enjoys it.

My sister lost 100 lbs after she finished college by doing weight watchers and running… But she gained it all back. She has always been a really bad emotional eater.

Helen asks…

Anyone want to share their weight loss success stories?

I’m looking for some encouragement and ideas for weight loss success. 🙂

What worked for you?
What didn’t work for you?
Have you been able to successfully keep off the weight? If so, how have you done it?
Thank you all for your great ideas. I’m going to make some lifestyle changes. This is great. 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Nutrisystem – 30 pounds! Size 12 to a size 8!

It’s a no brainer and that’s what I needed. Food’s not the greatest but it’s quick and I don’t have to think.

My husband did a medical diet (Optifast) and lost 80 pounds. His situation was much more drastic than mine. I just wasn’t happy about being a size 12.

Maria asks…

How to lose 20 pounds in one month? Share your weight loss success stories!?

Hi, I need a little inspiration on how to lose 20 pounds in 1 month! How did you do it, what inspired you, what made you go for your goal? What diets did you use? If you’ve lost other amounts of weight, share your stories too! Thanks so much!

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Lisa asks…

Does anyone have any good before/after photos along with weight loss success stories?

I looking for some inspiration. I need to see or hear from real people not commercials about some success and how you did it. I recently joined a gym so I am on the right track. I need to drop about 20 pounds.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi, I Saw this real story at the link given below which contains before/after photos also.

My lifestyle had turned me into what I was. I regularly ignored the vital things my body needed. Today, I have Just reduced my weight. After starting my diet, and subsequently changing my life, I am now entering the 130’s

I needed a Solution. It came in the form of Acai Burn
I’d only planned on losing- hell, I only dreamed of losing – 35 lb. Total. But after four months, I lost nearly 50 lbs!

But listing these life practices isn’t nearly enough to explain what it took me to get off my butt and start losing weight naturally. I had to learn. It all began with the information on natural weight lost that came out of Dr. Oz’s mouth on Oprah. It seemed like he had all the answers to the weight loss questions I had, so I decided to look into this Acai Burn.

Turn out, every thing he said was true. There were even a number of Supplemental facts about the benefits of Acai Burn that he didn’t mention. More benefits for me !
