Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Sandy asks…

How can I lose weight in a week and a half?

I am a 14 year old girl and I want to lose weight on my stomach and thighs, before school starts again in a week and a half. Also I would like a toned tummy, but I don’t have access to a gym and I would like to lose the weight at home and by the way I can’t do sit ups or press ups.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Just eat healthily an do exercise. It’l soon come off. These crash course diets are usually rubbish or dangerous but if you do it properly you’l give yourself a chance of sticking to it and for it to stay off. And people will soon notice which will spur you on. Good luck!

weight loss cardiff answers:

You won’t lose weight in a week. The plank is just used as a form of resistance training. To lose weight you need to do some form of cardio.

Laura asks…

How fast can you lose weight in one week?

I workout one hour a day( run/elliptical ), drink 8-12 glasses of water, and eat around 1000-1200 calories daily. I eat good quality protien and eat 4-5 small meals daily. How fast can I expect to lose weight in one week? Is 3 to 5 pounds REALLY to much to lose in a wk?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You don’t give yr age or current weight.

If’ve you’ve just started working out your body will initially retain water for your muscles that you’re working out.

Is the quality protein lean?

The 4-5 small meals a day is a great idea, with lean protein.

A normal & safe weight loss would not be in excess of 2 lbs a week.

Also, anyone giving answers about acai – ignore them. The only thing you will lose is money.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Donald asks…

How do I define light, moderate and heavy exercise via the stationary bicycle?

I am trying to compute weight loss via the online weight loss calculator, I am 174cm or 5 feet 7 and 156 pounds and I plan to reach about 134 pounds.

weight loss cardiff answers:

We just talked about this in my exercise sport science class. Moderate activity would be you working out with a friend and being able to carry on a conversation without being out of breath. The heart rate is increased and you should break a light sweat. Therefore, light exercise is very little change in the heart rate and no sweat, and heavey exercise would be to the point of exhaustion, sweat, and working toward the max heartrate.

Donna asks…

Can someone explain the personality change that comes with weight loss?

I noticed that sometimes when people who are really overweight go through dramatic weight loss, their personalities change– and sometimes not for the better. I know two people who not only became more confident, but more cocky as well! It’s like they suddenly believed being skinny made them better than everyone else, including their old friends, and they started acting like a**holes. Do you know anyone like this?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Weight loss can give you more confidence. In fact, the case is just the reverse. Once you start gaining weight, you lose your flexibility. You have to pay extra attention to how you can overcome the handicap of having a heavy body. This lessens your confidence. And, when you start losing weight again, your confidence is revived.

Anyways, are you trying to lose weight/. In that case, the following link would help oyu. It is a weight loss calculator.

Mark asks…

How to keep weight loss even after my metabolism has slowed down?

How to keep weight loss even after my metabolism has slowed down?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Your metabolism isn’t slowing down. That’s a myth.

One of the most common myths or misunderstandings in diet, nutrition, and fitness is that metabolic rate is responsible for a person’s natural tendency toward being fat or thin or muscular. Or that metabolic rate can be changed to help lose fat or gain weight. This is not true and easy evidence of that fact can be found here —> http://www.calculator.net/bmr-calculator.html where basal metabolic rate (BMR) can be calculated with only height, weight, sex, and age. If metabolism was responsible for gaining fat or staying thin, that natural tendency would have to be included in the calculation of BMR. It’s not. In other words, a naturally fat person and a naturally skinny person of the same height, weight, sex, and age will have the same metabolic rate. There will be no difference in their metabolism which means metabolism is not really a factor in natural tendencies toward being heavy or thin.

It’s important to understand this fact because it will put an end to the frustration that comes with trying to change the metabolic rate to create a specific effect such the loss or gain of body weight, fat, or muscle. Unless you have a real medical issue, your metabolism is fine and nothing you do is going to create more than a normal temporary change in metabolic rate.

If it’s important to you to blame something for being an easy or hard gainer, then blame your parents because those propensities are inherited…genetic. Or blame your soma (body) type (ecto, endo, or mesomorph). But don’t blame your metabolism because it is nothing more than the totality of the energy exchanges which happen every second of every day as required to sustain your life given the demands of the moment.

Most people would be well advised to not even use the word metabolism as it has no real relevance to the problems of being an easy or hard gainer. It makes no more sense to think about your metabolism in regard to diet or exercise than it does to think about your car’s horsepower when pressing on the gas pedal to go or the brake pedal to stop. If you’re concerned with losing fat, gaining weight, building muscle, or maintaining, follow good diet, exercise, and fitness strategies and your metabolism will take care of itself.

For more about metabolism, go here —> http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/metabolism/WT00006

It may seem difficult keeping fat gone but that’s only because you can’t continue with bad eating habits and expect that fat not to return. If rebound fat is your concern, just keep your calories down with smaller portion sizes and proper food selections.

Good luck and good health!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Carol asks…

How can I lose weight by summer vacation?

I seriously need to lose about 10-20 pounds before the end of May. I am around the age of 13 and I’m not just losing weight to look skinnier, I am trying to lose weight and get more exercise so that I can do more activities in the summer without getting exhausted very easily. What are some exercises I can do to lose weight around my arms, waist, and legs. And also some healthy food suggestions.
Please help.
Thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Buy a weighted hula hoop. It works and it’s really easy and doesn’t take up much space, you can even do it inside if you make a little room. Just make sure you get the right size and weight: between 1 1/2 – 2lb (the heavier, the easier to keep it going, too heavy and it’ll be TOO easy, you won’t see results). I’ll put a chart below where you can figure out what size you are.

The idea is to do it for roughly 30 minutes a day in SHORT bouts. So, hula hoop for two minutes hard, then stop, let your heart slow down, and then do it again. I recommend you do it while watching TV. Watch your show, and hoop during the commercials. There are about 22 minutes of commercials during an hour long show.

Make sure you keep it up. It’s really not hard once you get going and it’s more fun than skipping rope, or running, with generally the same results. I’m not saying it won’t take effort, because it will. Rule of thumb is if you don’t feel it, it’s probably not doing anything.

Plus, it’s a cardio/toning excersize. You lose weight and tone up at the same time.

For healthy food, first find out how many calories you can eat a day (Chart below), then make sure you don’t eat over you’re daily limit.

Strawberries and carrots are really good snack foods, because they’re healthy and have very little calories, so it’s hard to eat too many. Other water fruits (Melons, berries) are good, as well as any fruits and vegetables really. Eggs are healthy, easy to make, and they’re good for you. Drink lots of water. If you really want to get healthy, change out what you’d normally drink for water. Water has zero calories, so you won’t be wasting calories on juice or pop. Milk, although it has calories, is still good for you. Drink a glass a day, for the calcium if nothing else.

Hope that helped a little 🙂

David asks…

Is it possible to lose weight without exercise?

Is it possible to lose weight without exercise? I have recently injured my legs and arms and im gaining weight and im wondering if I can go on a diet that would lower my weight. If so what should i eat/drink alot? Can someone plan out a diet for me?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes you always can. I’m not sure how many of us realize that intensive cardio exercise such as jogging and gym will NOT BURN FAT.

The Reason is Intense Aerobics and Exercise only burn mainly carbohydrates for energy,
not fat tissue.

If you over-exert yourself and your breathing and heart rate become too elevated
then your body will burn mainly carbohydrates.

However, your goal is NOT To burn Carbohydrate Calories, your goal is to burn stored
BodyFat and Lose 10lbs in A Week.

All you need now is to be on diet and to Lose 10 lbs is always possible.

You need to consume a balance diet plan foods which are made up of:

i. Lean proteins,
ii. Fruit and vegetables, and
iii. Sources of fat come from whole foods (such as cottage cheese or eggs).
Iv. Starchy carbohydrates (such as oats and pasta).

Divide your meals into 4 and that should be eaten at a minimum of 2 1/2 hours apart.

There is no calorie or carb counting, no limit on portion size, so eat until you feel your stomach is OK.

You can lose 10 lbs within a week with this diet plans, which consists of 2 type:-

1. Online Diet Generator – If you want to lose weight MORE QUICKLY. It generates your menu in just seconds.

2. 10 Weight Loss Rules- If you would rather lose weight more “casually” (without having to follow a specific diet) then the second weight loss program which is a collection of which you can use to lose weight in a much more “casual” way.

To lose weight you need to manipulate which types of calories enter your body at each meal.

The first thing you must do is learn the 3 types of calories, and which calories are in each type of food that you eat.

Some of sample foods made of Protein and Carbs (Carbohydrates) are :-

PROTEIN FOODS

* Lean Roast Beef

* Cottage Cheese (low fat)

CARBS(Carbohydrates) FOODS

* Mixed Salad (only lettuce, tomatoes, and
veggies allowed)

* Dressing should be Low Cal dressing. Use sparingly,
you should not smother the salad with too much
dressing.
* Bread (should be “oat” or “bran” type bread
only)

All you need is just rotate this Protein and Carbohydrate meals for One week and you will lose 10 lbs within that.

You need to maintain your diet and eat for rest of your life the food you like. To maintain your new slim body you will have the list of some general “rules”. These rules are meant to be “general” and “simple” because you can easily maintain your new body by just using a the simple and general rules.

For example, the rule about breaking up your daily food intake into 4 meals may “seem” simple, but it can control how slim you stay in the future.

You will be also presented with rules about what to avoid when grocery shopping, how to order food at restaurants, and how to order at fast food establishments.

The late night eating habit and other non-healthy eating habits also been tackled.

These rules are “”simple sounding”” but they are enough to maintain your new body for the rest of your life.

See the sample rotation of the meals and get more info on the diet plans at http://www.squidoo.com/Lose-10lbs-AWeek

I hope this will help you to lose weight and the most important without any harmful diet pills.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi!

Have you ever heard of Fat Loss for Idiots or Weight Loss 4 Idiots? It’s one of the most sellable e-books ever written that talks about losing fat easily and quickly. For a certain price, the company that sells this e-book allows you to access it and read its contents for a good 90 days.

If you wish, there’s a short YouTube video about it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg8p12TmU…

To help you know more about it, here are some of the things it covers.

What is in it?

Generally, the Fat Loss for Idiots is a guide to losing weight and fat as the name implies. In the book, you will be able to read the rules involved in weight loss. These rules, also known as “10 Idiot Proof Rules of Weight Loss” are easy to understand and follow as they are stated in the simplest terms. Aside from the simplified terms, the directions are also simple and short making it easy to understand and do.

Another thing that the e-book contains is the diet generator. The book will give you meal plans that will last you for 11 days. So for each day, the book has a menu for you to follow.

What does it promise?

Fat Loss for Idiots promises a lot of things. For the most part, it promises to make you really lose weight. To be specific, the ebook is able to make you lose 9 pounds every eleven days. With the ebook, you can be sure to lose a lot of weight in a short time.

Another big promise the ebook gives is that it can make you lose weight using a healthy meal plan. Many weight lose plans make you lose weight by skipping and scrimping on some things that your body needs such as fat. With the ebook, you can be sure that you won’t be having any of this. As a matter of fact, it will give you a menu of foods that are complete of the nutrients that your body needs. With this, you can be sure that even if you are losing weight, you are also well nourished.

Another thing that the ebook promises is that it makes room for those who are on a vegetarian diet. Unlike other weight loss guides that specifically tell you certain things such as forcing you to eat meat, the Fat Loss for Idiots respects your diet preferences. With this, anybody can take part of the program.

What are the recipes in the diet generator?

Most of the time, people get turned off by diet plans because they either contain complicated recipes or make them eat prepackaged foods. As you can see, these diet plans make you shell out more money than you want to. With them, you can be sure that sooner or later, your body will lose weight or your wallet will.

The recipes in the ebook’s diet generator are simple. They are easy to prepare. Another thing is that the recipes are also cheap. Because of these descriptions, many have said that the diets are “Spartan”.

With all these positive things and more being offered by Fat Loss for Idiots guidebook, it is small wonder why it has become very popular. Read more about it to learn more or better yet, take part in it and see the difference.

Mark asks…

Does anyone know any easy, fast weight loss solutions that actually work?

I’m looking for something that will really work quickly and i don’t really have a lot of time for exercise, i think my problem also is I don’t have time to eat so I snack instead of having meals, or go a whole day without food and then pig out at night. Anyone with any ideas to help?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I see two problems that can easily help you trim down. First, you stated “you snack instead of eating meals”, I suggest you watch what you snack on, for instants, snack on fresh fruits, veg’ts, nuts, grain, or snack, fruit, and yogurt bars.
Secondly, you pig out at night! I suggest you stop and just eat a well balance meal. Don’t overdo it just because you skipped a meal.

Jenny asks…

What’s the best medecine to help lose weight?

Is there any pills you can take to help lose weight that are easily found, like not needing a prescription? Any suggestions on easy weight loss, i need to lose it by January 6th if i can. Thanks.
I’m about 110 and i want to be around 100. I’m 5’2. I currently eat about less than 1000 calories a day, and i eat healthy stuff. So i’m not a terrible overweight, but i just want to be skinny again.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi May, sorry about these jerks on here who think they know every and are not answering your question. Diet and exercise is the best way to go for long term weight lost, everyone knows that but sometimes we need a little extra boost in the beginning. But, anyway enough rambling I dont know of any OTC weight loss pills, let me if you find a good one. But be careful and do your research about the pill you will be taking.

Nothing with ephedra or Phen, in the title. Good luck.
