Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Donald asks…

How many calories should I eat a day to lose weight?

I hear so many different things. I tried to eat 1200-1300 calories a day but I was starving when I did that no matter how many fruits and vegetables I ate. But when I bumped it up to 1400 calories a day, I did not lose weight. I walk 45 minutes 3 days a week for exercise at a moderate pace (about 3.5 mph). I am 145 lbs and 5 ft 4 inches. I would like to get down to about 120 lbs.

Honestly you can eat as many calories as you want up to the normal 2,000 calories, as long as they are the right calories. Remember the right foods burn fat with no exercise. Protein and vegetables are the most important, no sweets or sodas and drink plant of water

Paul asks…

How much possible weight could i lose if i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days?

I have been losing weight for my college graduation on Saturday but i still want to lose 5 more pounds by then. If i eat nothing but popsicles for 3 days and go for a walk for 40 minutes a day, could i lose the 5 pounds by Saturday?

Try raw food diet. It’s extremely healthy way to go, but only with consulting a doctor (take b12 supplements, take in lots of greens).
I lost 60 pounds in 2 months. That’s 1 pound a day, mate. And I didn’t lose muscle mass. Just hoovering raw veggies and fruits all day. You should avoid nuts and seeds for a while, they have bunch of calories.

Jared Leto used raw food to lose weight after his Chapter 27 movie. I said it all.
I’ve tried it. Only thing that’s missing in raw food is B12, so take alge pills or eat fish to get B12.
And eat everything. Don’t stick to particular foods.

John asks…

What are some better tricks for losing weight?

I’ve been trying so hard to lose weight lately. I have been cutting down on portions, eating healthier, and going to the gym 3 days a week, and I still haven’t really seen any results. Is there something more I need to be doing?

Here are a few tips;

WHEN to eat for losing weight…

• Eat (at least) three times a day.
Because when you eat only once a day, your metabolism gets slower than it already is! That’s the main reason. Sounds funny, but to lose weight… You must eat (the right things, of course)
• Eat low-fat, high-fiber foods such as salads and vegetable pastas.
• Your last meal should be before 18:00. Try.
OK, one apple after 18:00
• Don’t starve
Starvation is not good for losing weight, nor your health.
Starvation is the worse thing you can do in a weight loss diet.
• Try oatmeal instead of cornflakes for breakfast–eating oatmeal can help reduce cholesterol levels, and its high fiber content will keep you full longer.

WHAT to drink for losing weight…

• Drink 6-8 glasses of water every day !
Can be tap, plain, mineral, sparkling. I just love mineral sparkling water!
This improves your bowel, reduces the “hunger” sensation, and hydrates your skin. Your skin will look much better after the first weeks!
Don’t believe the slogan “water makes me fat”. Besides being stupid… You might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squeezed!
Don’t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, and Sprite etc. During the diet. Even lite or light versions.
• Avoid those vending machines by carrying around your own healthful foods and leaving pocket change at home.

Exercise for losing weight…

• If you want quicker results – exercise would be good.
• Don’t just sit in front of the TV and eat peanuts…
I guarantee THIS won’t work for your weight loss…
• Start a regular exercise program and stick with it. Don’t be afraid of those sweat suits and Lycra pants!
• Start swimming. Swimming is an excellent exercise to get involved with, since it increases blood flow and uses muscles we don’t regularly use. Start a swimming program and try to do it 3 times a week. You will feel excellent and rejuvenated.
• Choose an exercise program that you enjoy, and don’t shun the unconventional. For instance, did you know that regular vigorous dancing is exercise too?
• Also Cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, or aerobics will help you lose that unwanted belly fat. Weight training can also help you lose body fat because the more muscle mass you have, the more ability your system has to burn body fat.

Good luck!
