What are some good ways to help motivate weight loss?

What are some good ways to help motivate and start weight loss, besides eating healthy and working out everyday? Like are there pills that you can take in addition to eating healthy that really work or are there some times of work outs that I should focus on more?

Ken asks…

Did Adderall used to be prescribed as a weight loss prescription?

I heard that the prescription drug Adderall (commonly used to treat ADD/ADHD) used to be prescribed as a weight loss medication. I believe this was done in the early 1990s but they no longer prescribe it for that use. Does anyone have a report or story online from a reliable source explaining what I’m talking about? I’m just wondering why it is not used as a weight loss prescription (if it ever, really was). Thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

Adderall is just amphetamines and dextroamphetamines. Amphetamines were used in the early 1900’s for a lot of things (weight-loss among them). After all, you didn’t need a prescription up until the 70’s to posses or use amphetamines, and housewives along with business men would buy tabs or inhalers to get extra work done, to eat less if they didnt like their weight, and even just as a pick-me-up to deal with the stresses of business or the stresses around the house with the children. The actual pill, “Adderall” I do not believe has ever really been prescribed as a weight loss medication. Adderall itself was pretty much strictly ADD/ADHD or narcolepsy medication, and sometimes used by therapists as an antidepressant if no other meds helped.
My guess is that doctors shy away from prescribing it for weight loss because people who are over-weight generally have heart problems too, or at least it runs in their family. With amphetamines, or any stimulant really, it is really easy to screw up (or rather, increase) your blood pressure and heart rate. I’m swimmer and runner who is prescribed Adderall, and my resting heart rate while asleep (without the meds of course) has been recorded in the hospital as low as 20-32 beats per minute, while awake, just sitting there, in the 60s or lower, but if I took my meds that day, I could be laying awake in bed with a heart rate of near 110+.
Also, there are non-addictive weight-loss medications out there, so doctors will prescribe those more often, seeing as how amphetamines have a high risk/rate of dependency. Plus, there’s always the part about how Adderall is becoming a bigger and bigger study drug on college campuses and its becoming more popular with the tweakers and speeders, and its illicit use as a weight-loss medication is also picking up speed. So doctors don’t want to contribute to the underground distribution of the medication either.
I think I remember reading about a celebrity (Nicole Richie? Among others) using it for weight-loss, and she ended up looking like Skeletor or something akin to him because she became addicted to it from using too high of a dose (she probably didn’t even regiment her doses), and became anorexic from its misuse. Which is also, probably yet another reason why doctors don’t prescribe it, one of the possible side effects (from its proper use, let alone improper use) is anorexia.

I hope you could understand what I was trying to get to, and I hope this helped answer your question.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Joseph asks…

Is it possible to be both a physician assistant as well as a registered dietitian?

Physician assistant is not to be confused with medical assistant.

I have an interest in being both a physician assistant and a registered dietitian. Can I do both? Is this realistic?

Would I have the time?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You would have to do one first & the other second most likely although pre-reqs could cross over but you could not do the core portions simultaneously. (You can’t do anything else while in PA school–it is completely full time). But other than that, yes, you could do both, all it takes is time, effort and money.

John asks…

Looking for a certified dietitian or nutritionist that will answer this question about apples?

Hello, I’m writing an informative and need an interview question as a source. I need a certified dietitian or nutritionist that will answer this question: Why are apples recommended more than any other fruit? It would be great if you left your first and last name and job certification, as well.

Thanks
Edit: Why are apples recommended?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I suggest you find one in the “real world”. Therefore, you can give a name and a town (and even a phone number or e-mail) to better credit your source. Also, somebody on here doesn’t have to loose his anonymity if she doesn’t want to.

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Steven asks…

Is it true if you cut down the bad food you eat everyday, you lose weight without having to exercise?

I’ve been told if you eat the right food daily, you lose weight without having to exercise… is this true?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes, you will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.

If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn’t get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn’t slow your metabolism down to compensate for lowered calories.

Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.

High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.

Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!

Paul asks…

How can I lose weight without exercising?

I really want to lose weight but I am not allowed to go to a gym to exercise and I can’t go walking/bike riding/jogging in the morning because of school. In the summer I will be able to, but for now, I really want to lose weight and don’t know how to without exercising. Can someone help me, please?
I don’t have any fitness machines in my home, which is also why I’m asking this question.

weight loss cardiff answers:

The key is to get your metabolism to work more
try this…

1) eat breakfast (very important)
2) drink A LOT of water
3) keep away from fast food, and all the junk food + beverage
4) eat 6 small meal a day… If you can’t do it while you are in school then you should put something in your book bag (like an apple and a water bottle) to eat. This should help you from being hungry all the time…

This worked for me… =D

how can i lose weight really fast without exercise, i want to lose weight really fast so i can stay motivated, please help.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Well it depends on how much weight you want to lose, if your over weight or obese, got to a doctor and ask if you can get a script for (durrormine) phentermine 15mg but! They will drive you to insanity if you dont keep active wile your on them, make sure you work or study or play commputer games or somethink. Set times to exersise, phentermine will give you energy like youve never felt as long as you exersise the first day, you take it. After that nothing will stop you.trust me, that first day, exersise! If you dont, dont worry they will still work just not as good.

Sandra asks…

why do people continually sabotage their weight loss plans despite really wanting to lose weight?

weight loss cardiff answers:

They do it because of lack of faith in themselves …. Yea, sure, its easy for them to say that they will do this and do that , but they dont think that they can follow through with it … People who go on diets or have a goal to lose wait, they cant do it on their own, they need motivation, someone to be there telling them they can do it, someone to be there to tell them no, and to keep going ……
