Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Lizzie asks…

Why does 1-butanol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether?

Why does 1-butanol has a higher boiling point than diethyl ether? Which compound would you expect to be more soluble in water? Why?

weight loss cardiff answers:

1-butanol

OH
|
C-C-C-C

diethyl ether

CH3-CH2-O-CH2-CH3

a) * I (think) the answer to this lies in the hydrogen bonds from the OH group to other OH groups. It has been a while since I’ve had Organic Chem.
B) butanol.
C) the terminal OH group makes the ends more polar and more soluable in water

Carol asks…

Why are amines charged in a pH = 2 solution of diethyl ether and water?

Why are amines charged in a pH = 2 solution of diethyl ether and water, whereas alcohols and carboxylic acids are neutral? What determines if a substance will become charged or not in low or high pH? My organic chemistry book does not explain it well.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Amines, R-NH2, will in acid media pick up a proton to become R-NH3+

Acids, however, cannot absorb an H+; they release them. So in an acid medium, unless the acid in question is stronger it will not dissociate [much – use Ka if you need to get exact].

Alcohols do not generally pick up or discharge ions.

THis should have been covered in intro chem, and is assumed as background info in orgo

Helen asks…

Why is methanol more soluble in water than diethyl ether?

Is it just because the carbon chain is longer in diethyl ether?or are there other factors too?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Theres a saying that goes “like dissolves like”.

Water is a polar molecule, meaning it will dissolve other polar molecules more easily. By looking at the structure of each you can see that methanol is more polar than diethyl ether, largely because of OH group of methanol, in which the hydrogen atom is more easily detached.

Weight Loss Guidance/Help!?

I am 16 (turned 16 in July) and I weigh 15 stone at the moment. I attend school full-time. Get up at 7.25, get the train at 7.50, I am in school until 3.30 everyday (apart from Mondays – 2.55) I rarely have spare time due to coursework weighing me down at the moment. Can anyone help me please on how to burn fat, lose weight easily and for free?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Nothing comes for free and easily without any effort.

Donot waste your money by buying some medicines to reduce weight.

All you need is

1: Never skip meals. This is the most important thing.
2: Do Aerobic exercises atleast 3 days in a week. (like swimming ,
jogging, biking , etc)
3: Diet is one of the key factor. Please donot eat junk food like pizza
and burger. Eating less or more doesn’t matter. What you eat does
matter.Eat lots of fruits and fresh vegetables.Eat lean meat like fish
and skinless chicken.Drink low fat milk.
4: Donot be idle. Always engage in physical activity

5: Last but not least. Count your daily calorie intake. Take less
calories than you actually need. To calculate your calorie intake,

For sedentary people: Weight x 14 = estimated cal/day

For moderately active people: Weight x 17 = estimated cal/day

For active people: Weight x 20 = estimated cal/day

Stock your pantry and refrigerator with healthy foods. Get rid of the high-calorie, low-nutrition snacks like chips and candy. But don’t forget to have plenty of healthier options available as well, such as popcorn (hold the butter, try Parmesan cheese sprinkles), low-fat cheese and yogurt, fruit, instant cocoa without added sugar, sugar-free popsicles or puddings, or whatever appeals to you when you’re hungry for a snack.

Set small goals and focus on these rather than the “big picture.” Decide where you want to be in a week or in a month, rather than focusing on the total amount of weight you’d like to lose.

If you actually follow these, i bet you will reduce your weight in few
months. Wish you a good luck.

Laura asks…

Can fat free half and half keep me from losing weight?

I use less than one tablespoon of fat free half and half daily. Sometimes it’s only a teaspoon. The serving size on the carton suggests two tabelspoons (20 calories) but I’ve been using less than a tablespoon (<10 calories).

I'm trying to lose weight but I can’t for some reason. It’s usually very easy for me to shed pounds, but now that I’ve been drinking half and half (coincidentally) it’s not working. Could that be the reason, even though it’s fat free?

I’m doing everything else right. I’m eating properly like I should so you don’t have to lecture me on that. The program I’m using made me lose weight very easily, but now it’s not for some reason.
First answer: I just told you that I know how to eat right. You always spam my questions with THAT EXACT ANSWER. Go away!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Foods marked “fat free” have the healthy fats replaced with sugar or starches. Fat won’t make you fat, but sugar & starches will.

Susan asks…

Dairy-free diet to lose weight?

I stopped eating dairy about 2 weeks ago to see if it had an effect on my skin (acne). It has already started clearing my skin up, but I’m also noticing I’m less bloated and I seem to be dropping pounds more easily (I can see it in my face and jaw especially). I have done the dieting thing on and off, but even when I was very good about a reduced calorie diet/exercise plan the pounds didn’t seem to come off this quickly. Now I’m on the same reduced calorie/exercise plan except without any dairy and it seems like it is way more effective now. Has anyone else stopped eating dairy and noticed these kinds of changes?

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Ruth asks…

Whats some good easy weight loss ideas?

all of us girls at work today are giggling about how to loss weight at least 20 lbs easy or just fast?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Use calorie king.com to keep track of nutritional information, ESPECIALLY if you want to eat out. You’d be surprised at some of the stuff, like fast food burgers being less calories than chicken sandwich.

Keep a food scale at home to measure out portions. You can find them at Walgreens for only approx. $5.

Cook from scratch. You may be left in the dark about calories, but at least it gives you the option to substitute where you need to substitute, cut out sodium, and it’s healthier! Myself, instead of using shortening, I have calorie-free butter spray.

For help on how to make some things from scratch, use sites like Allrecipes.com and Group Recipes.com If you cannot find on either site something, just type in the search engine of your net ________ from scratch. Fill in the blank with the food. Like, pizza crust recipe from scratch, for instance.

Add a little more exercise each week. Once your body gets used to a routine, it is no longer effective. That is why you must add more exercise each week, be it more resistance, more repetitives, or another lap around the mall before stores open. If you like video games and can afford it, people lost weight off of Wii. I once played it at someone’s house, and I kid you not, it wore me out!

Make sure not to lose more than 2 pounds a week for that is not healthy to lose faster than that.

Try 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones, and be SURE to eat breakfast.

Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day, a glass being 8 ounces.

Do away with soda and lattes and other empty calorie drinks.

You can eat nearly everything you want, as long as you watch out for portions.

Find healthier ways to enjoy your fave foods.

Instead of salad dressing, try lemon juice, or salsa.

With the exception of yellow mustard, watch out for use of condiments. They add up calorie wise. Mustard, however, has practically none in there!

Lisa asks…

Does anyone have a simple and easy weight loss plan?

I would like to lose 26 pounds but am unsure of how to do it. I don’t really like to exercize but will if necessary. Keep in mind that I live in rural Kansas and don’t have access to special foods or diets.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Dear member,
Well the very first step for doing such kind of things is a positive and a strong will to loose weight. What i belive in is that everything begins and stops at the mind and the mind power alone is capable to give you the desired results. If you are strong willed then go ahead make a weekly chart to track your weight and measurements. Once the will exists the urge to eat fatty foold will reduce and so for food with high carbohydrate contect. Cut out that Red meat, Cheese, Oils, fried stuff and yes include a walk of 25 to 45 minutes. As you like in rural area there are pleanty of oppurtunities for a good morning or an evening walk.
You may also like to try the oldest medicinal technique of Aryuveda to help you regulate your lifestyle and attain a healthier self. For that you may visit http://www.divyayoga.com/main.htm. Swami Ramdev has created an awareness revolution in India with millions doing his pranayam on a regular basis for a healthier self. I myself am a gezetted Govt officer and had rubissed his claims till recently when i turned to Pranayama for a healthier life. I have lost the flab from my waist in one month and am a much more active person now. I am 42 years of age and absolutely healthy.
My mantra is never be disheartned in life and always try to be hally… Though i do have my faults… As i am a human too.

David asks…

Have any tricks for easy weight loss?

I would like to lose just a bit of weight. probably 5-7 lbs. I don’t have much time, but I can do easy activities, and i would like some simple food ideas. If anyone could help me, that would be great.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Congratulations.

You are just interested in just watching so it does not get out of hand in few years.

So eat little less and do little more, buy a pedometer, put it on note the average miles per day then increase it a little by doing few more chores or adding an after meal walk. Go to a library and add some exercise routine, few bends to care care of the curves, you can find them on the Internet also.

This next articles tell it all.

******************
My experience:

Home:

No problem for first few years till 1975 years.

Added a cup of coffee to my intake nothing changed 30 years later, 365 x 30 x18 = 197100 cal in that time frame = 54.75 pounds.

All this 54.6 pounds of weight, more then the ideal weight can be attributed to a one tea spoon of sugar, in a cup of coffee every day.

After adding some 60 pounds this way yeastier day only I started evaluating the weight gain and I came up with this calculations.

How about those teaspoons of sweet nothings, sugar only?

Kitchen:

I had only one problem I did not work out that 18 cal every day by just straightening up the kitchen and scrubbing that kitchen sink very day and keeping it like new.

Work Place:

I had a parking place very close to the door so I did not get chance to walk enough to work those 18 cal off.

School:

Ha!, ha!!, ha!!!, this is where I acquire knowledge but my problem is that I just realized that 18 cal of sugar in coffee has made me fall in the obese category, from normal in 30 years.

I use to walk 6 miles to school both ways up and I am not kidding, I lived at one end of the hill and school was at the other end of the hill. So up the hill down the hill to school and same thing coming back.
************************************

I am enclosing few of my article just for your info, pleas read them and you will understand the actual mechanism, and do what pleases you.
************
Read my articles and do as you please, if you read between the lines then you will understand the weight loss mechanism.

Once you understand some things it is easy to achieve it.

It does not matter if you eat very little, but if you are use to 3 large hardy meals then after eating them your stomach send the signal to the system to provide blood to it. So doing any strenuous exercises can be dangerous. So it is not recommend, but a slow walk after eating is highly recommended. In the olden day it is a must about 15 minute or so.
*********************
You can do it.

It is possible to achieve it.

But read all the enclose articles and do as you please.

Donald asks…

What has been your experience with the Science Diet foods?

Has anyone had success with Science Diet‘s regular or prescription line of foods? I’d like to hear your personal experience, good or bad, with Science Diet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Lauren…

Learn to read the ingredient labels. They tell all as far as nutritional value for your dog.

Hills Science Diet is NOT a healthy choice whether your vet tries to push it on you or not. Vets get kick-backs from manufacturers for the food they supply. It doesn’t make it good for your dog, but it’s good for the vet.

Learn about the things to watch for…the things your dog should NOT have included in his diet, and understand exactly what those ingredient labels are there to tell you.

I’m not even going to recommend some quality brands here. With the information below in the source section, you can start to figure that out for yourself, and you will be learning how to make that decision for yourself.

Good luck!
