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.
