How to lose weight and get in shape w/o a Personal Trainer?

My friend just hired a personal trainer and has been bragging about how much weight she is going to lose. What can I do to lose more weight than her and faster w/o a PT?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’m trying to loose weight, actually I have been trying for the last six months… I’ve experimented with a lot of different things, but I think I finally found something that might work.

I suggest doing what this mom did and combining the Acai diet with a cleansing program for the best result

Nancy asks…

How much weight could you lose if you ate 700 calories per day?

How much could you lose in 5 weeks?

Is it possible to lose weight in just one week?

And also, how much weight could you lose in two weeks if you ate 500 calories per day?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yea you would lose weight. But its not healthy. Your body will feel like its starving itself and you eventually will feel hungry enough and go splurge somewhere and gain the weight back. However. A 700 calorie diet isnt so bad I think. Sometimes I do it on accident. I log whatever I eat in a food journal. And I am a nurse. I work three days a week twelve hour shifts. Sometimes on those days I dont eat any more then 600-700 calories. Its not on purpose. And then I go to the gym and work out. Thing is I am sincerely not hungry. I drink so much water that my body has learned to distiguish what true hunger is. And the things I eat tend to be low calorie anyways. But its not like I do that low amount of calories everyday. My normal intake is 1200 or less. But i honestly hardly ever make it past a thousand. Its not purposeful, I just dont eat that much. So it can be unhealthy, but I have been in the gym 6 days a week and do cardio and weight lifting. I prolly lost water weight in the beginning, but I have lost body fat and have slimmed down. I really dont recommend you do that low amount of calories.

Linda asks…

How much weight do you have to lose to go a clothing size down?

Well, i really want this shirt. But it doesnt have it in my size. So im trying to lose weight to be able to buy it. (I’ve been wanting to lose weight for awile). So how much weight do you have to lose to go a clothing size down? 2 clothing size down? 3 clothing size down?

weight loss cardiff answers:

My experience seems to be about the same as the other responders before me. 10 pounds loss got me from waist 34 to 33. I want to get to 32 so I guess that’s another 10 pounds. Bummer!

Paul asks…

What is a good weight loss plan for a month?

I am a 19 year old guy, and I am going on a cruise next month. Problem is, after I quit playing baseball in high school I slowly got lazier and started to gain weight, so much to the point where I definitely need to lose it. I had planned on doing this over a 3 month period, but I got swamped with finals at the end of the year and was too busy and stressed out to work out. Now, the clock is ticking. I relied on fast metabolism for too long.

I plan on going on a high vegetable/salad diet, but I need a good workout plan. I’m not expecting to completely sculpt myself in a month, but just toning down this beer gut would be nice.

I have a weight bench and a treadmill in my garage, which is what I primarily plan on using for working out. It looks kind of like this; http://thefuntimesguide.com/images/blogs/weight_bench.jpg

I also have a one-hand adjustable barbell and a standard curve bar.
What kind of workout should I do for maximum weight loss, primarily in the gut? This is more about thinning up and not filling out, mind you.

Any helps with workout regime/tips would be appreciated and I will gladly answer questions if you need additional information.

Thanks in advance.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I agree with yewieh. I think you should start running about 2 miles a day, 4-5 days a week. I eat chicken breast salad with fresh spinach and tomatoes, a little parmesan cheese, and vinegar and light dressing for dinner. It’s huge, filling and only about 300-400 calories. But lots of fruit and GREEN vege’s and you will start having the energy to start working out more.

Also if you sitting at the computer or watching tv, feel free to do arm or tummy exercises, rock back and forth, etc. This movement will up your calorie burning and it can add up if you do it regularly everyday.

Good luck!

Ruth asks…

what are the best HCG drops for weight loss?

I’ve heard homeopathic hcg with alcohol aren’t any good but read other blogs that say they work just fine. has anyone had success with the homeopathic with alcohol?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Whether you use drops or injections they are a waste of money,
500-calories per day is severely restrictive! In fact, it is not enough calories to support normal brain function. Your body will compensate by using stores of glycogen, protein (muscle) and some fat, which lowers your resting metabolism. Before you can lose true weight, you will be so irritable, lightheaded, and cranky that you’ll reach for whatever food you can get your hands on and have a field day.

There is no scientific evidence supporting HCG as a weight loss strategy. The FDA has required all marketing and advertising of HCG to state the following: “HCG has not been demonstrated to be effective adjunctive therapy in the treatment of obesity. There is no substantial evidence that it increases weight loss beyond that resulting from caloric restriction, that it causes a more attractive or ‘normal’ distribution of fat, or that it decreases the hunger and discomfort associated with calorie-restricted diets.”

i notice girls always post pics of themselves asking if their at standing up away from the miror? well im sorry but when she sits down im like?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You can’t make someone lose weight. If she’s overweight, I’m sure she’s insecure about it in the first place. You could always offer to exercise with her. Just don’t act you’re ashamed of her or always tell her she needs to lose weight.
