Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Nancy asks…

What’s your favorite easy, healthy dinner recipe? Trying to lose baby weight…?

I want to change my unhealthy habits, but I need to re-learn how to cook so I can eat healthier and lose weight. I don’t want to diet, I want to switch to a more healthy lifestyle.

So, what do you eat for dinner? I have to cook for me and my husband most days, and I need a lot of good, easy recipes to make the transition easier.

I mostly shop at Trader Joe’s, our local health food shop, and also Albertsons, local chain grocer, so I can get pretty much any ingredients, but I’m looking for easy stuff.

Please post your favorite easy recipe that’s great for weight loss and health!

so weight loss/recipes question?

so i am trying to lose some weight this summer before i go back to school, i am going to officially start my work out tomorrow as well as a weight loss meal plan. Obviously fruits and veggies are great! Crabs bad, etc. Well I was wondering of some really good
1) Detox plans, I am planning on doing a detox next week so I am preparing for it now with the foods I will want and everything. So any good suggestions? I prefer a simpler plan because I am insanely busy ALL the time with my job, the more basic and easier to prepare the better!

2) Any good diet supplements/foods that I should try. I am looking for really filling foods with lots of protein and fiber, I am out in the sun a lot so I lose a lot of energy from that on top working so the more protein and fiber the better! This can be actually foods or even a diet supplement that you found at walmart that you liked a ton!

3) Any helpful suggestions that have made a difference for you or even a friend! I do have a work out buddy, my mom and my sister! Thanks everyone!

David asks…

does anyone have any good diet plans for vegetarians?

Im looking for some good diet plans to help me loose my baby weight, ive looked online but you have to pay for them. Im a vegetarian who eats no meat but does eat dairy products.

weight loss cardiff answers:

This one works for me. Cut out the dairy, don’t use oil or fat when cooking, make sure you eat a big variety of things, eat only small amounts of oil rich foods (nuts, seeds, olives etc), eat lots and lots of fruit and veg and whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal pasta and bread) so you don’t get hungry, and regularly do some exercise. It is important that you eat a wide variety of different things.

Steven asks…

I want to lose weight, but I cant waste any money on pills, berries, tea, etc. What are some good diet plans(calorie wise) and exercises to help me lose the weight? I need help soon! Its summer I have to loose some weight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Interval Training is a great workout because its essential in burning fat. Heres an example of a interval workout you can do:

Monday
OneWalk 10 minutes. Next 6 minutes alternate running 1 minute and walking 1 minute. Walk 4 minutes. Stretch.
Tuesday
Strength Training Program.
Stretch.
Wednesday
Walk 10 minutes.
Next 8 minutes alternate running 1 minute and walking 1 minute.
Walk 2 minutes.
Stretch.
Thursday
Strength Training Program.
Stretch.
Friday
Walk 8 minutes. Next 10 minutes alternate running 1 minute and walking 1 minute.
Walk 2 minutes.
Stretch.
Saturday
Rest Day
Sunday
Walk 6 minutes.
Next 12 minutes alternate running 2 minutes and walking 2 minutes.
Walk 2 minutes.
Stretch.

Weight training is also very important so you can tone your muscles, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn in a day. Now your diet should consist of lots of fruits, veggies and lean meats. It also helps to eat 5-6 “small” meals a day so you can keep your metabolism going, Drink plenty of water (64 oz) take a multivitamin and get plenty of sleep. Good Luck!

Ruth asks…

Does anyone know of any good diet plans?

I have a family so it’s hard for me to find a diet that has meal plans that I can do. I don’t know the first thing about cooking healthy so meal plans, & shopping lists would be great but the only ones I’ve seen are for a single person not a whole family.

weight loss cardiff answers:

There is a site online that provides meal plans, calorie trackers, recipes with nutrtional information. There are motivating articles, & support groups. You start by entering your current weight and then your goal weight. It will tell you how many calories you need to consume in a day to loose the weight within a desired time-frame. They do not encourage you to shoot for more than 2 lbs a week. It has a 4 step process to get you started making gradual changes in your eating and lifestyle to help you acheive your goal and maintain your weight loss. It is a free program and there are not 200 million adds or pop-ups. You can set the meals you like and you can print a shopping list. I don’t think the shopping list is for a whole family but if you set a meal plan and print the list you should be able to easily purchase the amount you need for your family. Oh, and it is not low-carb or low-fat or any trend it is about learning a healthy balanced diet, portion control and incorporting exercise into your life.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Sharon asks…

how can i lose weight easily(and fast)?

i am getting ready for school and i want o look me best. i want to lose enough weight to look good. i am 5’5 and weigh 122 punds. i want to lose like 5 or6 pounds in like a week or two. Please i want useful healthy things(exersise) thanks

weight loss cardiff answers:

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”. Beside being stupid… You might get into serious troubles with your kidneys.
• Drink ONLY natural juices, freshly squized!
Don’t drink Coca Cola, Pepsi, Spite etc. During the diet. Even lite or light versions.
I thought this was not possible for me to achieve. Now… I don’t even LIKE them anymore!
Nothing compares to the the smell of a fresh natural fruit juice! Not speaking about health…
• 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 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!

Mandy asks…

How can i lose weight easily?

I am a younger teenager and i need to lose a lil weight for dance, especially in my thighs…how can i lose weight fast to become really skinny?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.
Go easy on tea and coffee. Tea and coffee are harmless by themselves. It’s when you add the cream and sugar that they become fattening. Did you know that having a cup of tea or coffee that has cream and at least two cubes of sugar is as bad as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake’

Sandy asks…

how can i lose weight efficiently and fast?

ill be 14 in march.im 5″5 and im about 140 lbs and i want to lose weight. what are some exercises that i can do around the house to lose weight fast and easily?
and for the people giving me sites to order tea and acai and pills thank you for the thought but my mom is not going to let me use diet pills or order anything off the web. i just need exercises that work fast and efficiently im not talking like 5 lbs in a day but maybe like 10 in a month or something i want to lose about 30 pounds so exercises please

weight loss cardiff answers:

“Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Drinking eight glasses of water is almost like a must. And do not forget to drink water in the morning, the moment you wake up. In fact this is one of the most rapid weight loss tips that the dieticians suggest to the people.
Have organic foods for the breakfast like apples, bananas, plain yogurt, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.
Keeping a track on the watch, go for an hour walk. It need not be power walking, but definitely it should be non-stop walk and that’s for sure, in a couple of days only, you’ll start finding the difference in you.
Another tip regarding how to lose weight fast, easy and safe is that you should have your dinner about 4-5 hours before going off to sleep.
The two-point program that will ensure the ultimate success is: regular exercise and balanced diet.
Don’t depend upon fat burning diet supplements. They wont go a long way in helping you sustain your reduced kilos.
Soft drinks cannot benefit you in any way. They contain 150 empty calories, so if you substitute one bottle of soft drink with water each day, it will do wonders for you. It will enable you to lose about 16 lbs per year.
Sometimes boredom becomes a cause of overeating, so keep yourself busy.
If you want to seriously control your weight, then you have to stop yourself from getting lured into trying tempting foods.
As important is to pay attention to the fact that we eat the right food, equally vital is to keep a watch on the quantity. Without altering your diet plan, even if you’ll reduce 5-10% of your consumption, it will prove beneficial.
Eat slowly so that you can get a feeling that you have had enough food and your tummy is full. Eat slowly and fully relish the taste.”

Also here is a web site that tells you what kind of excercise is good for you 🙂
