They are good tips that work.

Mandy asks…

Can anyone give me some good tips to overcome weight loss obstacles while in college?

I’m 5’3″ and currently 136 pounds, measurements roughly 35-28-38. I’m certainly not obese but I know from the past that I feel amazing in the 120’s weight range, and I’m definitely not happy with the way I feel and look right now. I’m a weight watchers devotee and have the computerized food log and fitness log (tracks measurements/weight/bmi/fat%) all ready to go, but I need some tips concerning some serious obstacles which have had me yo-yoing in weight since September.

*two free dining halls only source of food–the other, healthier places on campus offer pricey meals on a limited secondary budget of $200 per semester-dining halls generally offer pizza, burgers, eggs, bacon, and an “international” station which serves unfortunately delicious meals of 500-700 calories!
*there is a deli station, but i became quickly bored with their very bland sandwiches and my two former favorites, tuna sandwich and roast beef sandwich
*i’ve tried a couple times, but i’ve never been able to enjoy eating salads-there is a salad station, but it’s not self serve, and i have no idea what tastes good together with what dressing, etc
*the cold weather and the sloppy slushy outdoors makes me generally reconsider bundling up and walking to the campus gym as much as i know i need it

My best friend on campus (and actually kinda my only close friend, I’ve always been held back by my insecurities which I hope will be helped by losing weight) will be my roomie next semester, and she’s been a serious unconscious saboteur of my weight loss….she loves getting desserts after both lunch AND dinner, and always asks me to go with her to check out the dessert tables, if I don’t, she gets disappointed or makes fun of me…I’ve basically joined her in that bad habit where I found myself eating one or two chocolate cupcakes a day! I know she knows I’m always about to be in a diet, in a diet, or falling off a diet, but if I mention that a meal looks good but has too many calories, she’ll usually say “Oh, go on, just get it, who cares?” and when I do fall off the wagon she makes fun of me saying, “Just yesterday you said you couldn’t get dessert with me, and today you’re going back for your second serving of fries!” Right when we first met I told her I was trying to lose weight, and she said jokingly, “i’m your worst enemy then!” because she loves so much to eat.
I know that now she’s my roomie i’ll be eating even more meals with her and I need some tactics beforehand to deal with my cravings and not fall in because it’s easier to conform. She has gained weight in college too, 11 pounds in fact, but being 5’7″ and originally 108 pounds, becoming 119 pounds really has just given her very skinny frame some nice curves and bigger boobs, while my weight gain has me on the fast train towards becoming the michelin man.
I don’t blame my roomie for my weight, it’s certainly the choices I make that shape my size, but I would love some tactics for facing the obstacle of eating with her and the other obstacles I mentioned as well.

This is not as uncommon as you might think it is. Here are some sites that deal with this phenomenon called the “freshman 15.”

The more you know about the enemy the better you can defeat it, knowledge is power and power is great!

Joseph asks…

Weight loss for teenagers?

Three of my friends and myself (we’re around 18) are really trying to lose some weight. More specifically, fat. None of us have that much to lose, but at the same time it feels like no matter how hard we try, we just can’t lose it! We joined a gym that has a routine, and is only a half an hour work out that they claim is equal to two hours walking. We go three to four times a week if we can. It helped a little, losing 2 or 3 pounds and maybe 1 or 2 inches. We’re trying to eat better, but sometimes it’s not that easy.

We need help.
Gym. Should we join a different gym? Our current gym is “Curves” which is actually a very nice place with very nice women, but it doesn’t seem to be working as well as we thought. We enjoy the half hour convenience and the fact we’re not surrounded by women and men with perfect bodies. Is this not the right type of gym for us?

Eating. How can we control our eating habits better? It’s hard to choose a salad over a juicy burger. And at school, we aren’t really sure how many calories are in our food. We know eating better is a big part to losing weight, but we just can’t seem to do it.

Any advice, tips, or facts would be greatly appreciated!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Calories is a large topic when it comes to weight loss. We need to learn 3 things: the volume of calories in our food, the volume of calories a certain activity expends every sixty minutes, and finally our own personal daily allowance of calories. I found the responses to all of these questions by visiting the website in the box below, they have lots of guidance, I shed 10 pounds by doing as they advised.

Charles asks…

Diet foods?

What are some foods that are easy to make or buy that are really good for diets? Besides salads and the obvious. Like for example i heard that a whole artichoke only has 25 calories, does anyone know any more?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Alright, here are some healthy fat burning foods you should try:

Citrus Foods are a safe bet. Things like oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, and limes has tons of Vitamin C, which has a fat burning quality by reducing it’s contents or diluting and liquefying fat. Try it in every meal and snack!

For example, pink grapefruit only has 40 calories for a half serving! Eat it as it is for breakfast, or toss it into a salad with spinach! Spinach, by the way, is powerful! With only 13 calories for two cups of chopped raw spinach, this fat-burning vegeatable can be eaten raw in salads, steamed as a side dish, or sauteed in a bit of olive oil!

Oh wait! Olive oil is also useful in diet foods! Even though a tablespoon is 125 calories, but drizzled on a 13 calorie spinach salad with a little lemon juice and some garlic, and you have a healthy meal with less than 150 calories!

Whole grain breads, a biggie! If you’re on a 1500 calorie day diet, than about 900 calories should come from grains, fruits, and veggies! Replace those white bread slices with half a cup of oatmeal or whole grain cereal, and you’ll feel fuller too!

Fish!!! Eat at least three servings of fish per week! Because it has omega 3, it will try to build cells from other fatty acids! Yay! So you are replacing your portions of meat with fish, not adding them to what you already eat!

Soybeans contain a lot of lecithin, which prevents fat from forming on your cells, and breaks down fatty deposits in your body! Eat it at least three times a week and you’ll be thin in no time!

Apples, Berries, and Fresh Fruit is awesome! Apples contain a lot pectin (as well as most berries and fresh fruit), which helps release fat deposits accumulated in cells. Add applesauce, apples, fresh fruit and berries to your diet every day!

Okay, I know it sounds a little gross but Garlic Oil can help. The juice of garlic has a significant protective quality to cells which help reduce fatty deposits. Anything with garlic helps brings down the levels of fat (as well as keep those vampires away!)

I hope I helped! Good Luck!

John asks…

what will make you lose weight fast, diet and exercise or weight loss using electric currents?

my sister in law is going to spend 100 euros on eletric current weight loss with 20 sessions.. suppose to make you lose 3-4 inches where you want it… but I don’t think it would really work…. which do you think will work faster in two months, 20 sessions of eletric currents, or two months of strict diet and exercise?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Electrocuting yourself should make you lose weight faster. Dead people always lose weight faster.

Seriously, though, the whole electroshock thing is a total scam. There’s really no such thing as “targeted weight loss” unless you undergo surgery, which any physician will tell you is again not a substitute for regular exercise and a healthy diet. Forget “quick”.. Get-rich-quick and get-thin-quick schemes always fall through and the one who tries them winds up paying more than they ever dreamed.

Susan asks…

I want to know about a good liquid diet that can help me lose weight fast.Any diet plans?

I want to start a liquid diet to lose weight fast to motivate me.I heard that liquid diets really work.I bought slim-fast and stuff,so anyone has a diet plan that could help me?please.

The Dangers of Rapid Weight Loss In Cardiff

Posted on by

  The Dangers of Rapid Weight Loss

Are you interested in losing weight in Cardiff?  If you are, are you looking for a rapid weight loss?  Rapid weight loss, also commonly referred to as quick weight loss or fast weight loss, involves losing weight in a short period of time, often anywhere from two to seven days.

Each year, in the United Kingdom, hundreds of thousands of Britons are interested in rapidly losing weight.  Many people wish to lose weight before an important event, like an upcoming holiday or a wedding.  Whilst it is understandable why you would want to lose weight quickly, namely as fast as possible, you need to proceed with caution.  Although it is possible to lose weight, at least a little bit of it, in a relatively short period of time, you should know that there are dangers associated with doing so.

One of the dangers of rapid weight loss is some of the many measures that some people take. For instance, it is common to hear of individuals who have decided not to eat, while trying to achieve a rapid weight loss.  Going without food, for even a short period of time, can be dangerous to your health.  A better alternative is to cut back on the food that you do eat or to just make sure it is healthy food that you are eating. By limiting your calories, you should be able to achieve at least a small weight loss in the time that you were looking to.  It is just very important that you do eat.

In addition to eating healthy, another component of weight loss in Cardiff is exercise.  Unfortunately, many individuals do not realize that it can take up to one week to notice the signs of exercise. While exercise is a major component of losing weight, it is important that you do not overdo it, especially if you haven’t exercised for a while.  Running on the treadmill for three hours, instead of thirty minutes, may help reduce your weight but, at the same time, it may also land you in the hospital.

Another problem that is often associated with rapid weight loss is the taking of medications or other weight loss products.  If you are interested in using a weight loss product, like a diet pill or cleanse pill, to help you lose weight, it is important that you do the proper amount of research first.  This research may involve checking product reviews, to see if the product is effective, or speaking with a healthcare professional.

As you can see, it is important that you proceed with caution when trying to achieve rapid weight loss in Cardiff. Although unexpected events or appearances do popup, most individuals have at least a month of notice before attending a large event, like a wedding or even a holiday.  As soon as you know about your upcoming event, you are advised to start trying to lose weight then, if you are interested in doing so.  Rapid weight loss can be dangerous; therefore, you shouldn’t rely on it if possible.
