Join a weight group or community. People with the same goals will usually help each other and urge each other on. Good Luck!

Ruth asks…

Whats the best way to lose weight?

I used to work out and be able hold my weight at a certain amount, but due to a severe back accident I am no longer able to lift weights, do sit ups, or any other exercises that would require my back to do work. However, I am able to jog/run but I will no longer have time for that because of upcoming exams and I’ll get a job over the summer. I’m 6′ 1″ tall and used to be 182-187 pounds but ever since that pain accident I’ve been gaining weight and I’m now 210 pounds and clearly overweight. I’ve tried losing weight 2 weeks ago, but didn’t really have any motivation. Can anybody give me some tips?

•Yoga helps you controlling your weight. It burns your excess fat and makes you slim and trim younger. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control practically every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will stop to exist.
•Do daily exercise. Exercise is necessary. Small changes to your activity level can add up over the course of a day, and can start creation an impact on your weight within as little as a week. The key to quick weight apart from diet change is exercise are Walking, cycling and swimming are the best ways to lose weight.
•Eat healthy home cooked meals, Use less oil, low salt, fresh produce, and you’ll start seeing results in no time.
•Avoid the junk food like that sodas, cookies, ice cream, pizzas, and other fattening and highly processed foods.
•Drink massive quantities of water and as much unsweetened iced tea, tea, diet sodas, coffee or other low-calorie beverages as you like. Do not drink milk, normal soft drinks, or fruit juice.
•Eat vegetables and fruits. They are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber and they’re low in calories.

Maria asks…

If I eat 300 calories a day for 2 weeks will I lose weight?

If I eat 300 calories a day for 2 weeks and cheat on the weekends will I lose weight? And how much will I lose?

weight loss cardiff answers:

NO!!!! The only thing you’re sure to lose is ones mind.

Your body will hold onto every bit of nutrients your body has, especially the fat.
You’re setting yourself up for feeding tubes & a lot of anxiety issues.
Depending on your health, activity level, height, & weight you’ll need to eat a certain amount of “clean”
{no trans fats} foods each day & you can have 1 day for cheating.{ Still “clean” foods}

What would be a good weight loss supplement that would help you burn fat while helping you get toned without making you jittery or feeling wired?

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to take weight loss supplements, only take natural ones. These supplements are things like green tea and milk that have qualities helpful to weight loss. For example, milk has a natural appetite suppressant in it.

Lizzie asks…

What is a good weight loss plan to lose 20 pounds by August 31st?

What are the best exercises to do to trigger this weight loss, and what are the best foods to eat?

weight loss cardiff answers:

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Chris asks…

How many carbs should I intake a day to see fast weight loss results?

I’m 5’7, 164 lbs and watch what I eat. I work out 30-45 mins 6 days a week, but i’m not seeing weight loss as quickly as I would hope to. How many carbs should I intake to maybe reach a 4-5 lb weight loss goal per week? Also what are some good foods with low carbs?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Stop….before you try any programs you should know a few things about food. One is where the food you eat falls on the glycemic index. This is important for your body to function correctly. Usana Health Sciences has a product called Reset, this product has a weeks worth of meals to reset your bodies sugar levels and a complete meal plan for after the first week. It is awesome and worked well for me.

There is also a great supplement called Acai Berry Select, this will also help you jump start your weight loss. This product gives you a month supply for free as a trial. I added this to the reset and wow did it work. After the first month if you want more of the Acai Berry Select it does cost, but they don’t require you to keep going after the free trial it is all up to you

I hope this helps and good luck in your adventures

weight loss cardiff answers:

I easily lost 10 pounds by just cutting sodas out of my diet (I still have an occasional coffee). Another good way to burn calories and fat is jogging. Not only does it burn the fat but it helps you tone up too!!
Here’s a good running program for beginners:

David asks…

why am I not losing weight? (seriously trying)?

I’m a 13 year old girl. I have been working out twice a week with a trainer for eight months. I also started doing shot put for middle/high school team. I also go on walks, hiking, and bike rides during warm weather. I always try eat right and never too much.
Breakfast:
Oatmeal w/ tsp. brown sugar and butter
2 slices of toast

Lunch:
Salad or a small sandwich (minimum extra condiments)
trail mix
strawberry apple sauce
dehydrated green beans
water

Snack:
(Usually at track so I’m not able but if I’m home) peanut butter crackers

Dinner: A lean meat, palm sized
2 different vegetables, one serving of each
1 starch serving

Snack: chocolate pretzels (5-10 , small)

I wander in and out but it’s usually in the same categories/calorie count..
I don’t like most fruit, but I love vegetables. Also, I drink diet coke at dinner and breakfast. Could this be a problem? I can’t drink a lot of liquids during the day, if I go over like 4 a day I feel like I’m gonna puke. It’s weird I know.
Also, this could be part of my problem, I have sleep apnea. I use my CPAP almost religiously haha. But I was diagnosed with mild depression because I really fought with it for so long and I still to this day am not satisfied with it.
On another note, I really need some guidance, tips, facts, anything you can give me.. I know I shouldn’t worry about it at 13, but I’ve worried about it as long as I can remember, and I take it super seriously. I just really need answers.
also, I am over weight, not just unhappy with a skinny body.

weight loss cardiff answers:

There are two reasons that you may not be losing weight. One is that your exercising and diet is putting weight on you, but in the form of muscle. You can easily lose fat, but still gain weight because muscles are heavy. The other reason is that for your level of fitness and age, it does not seem that you are eating enough. Teenagers need a lot of calories, especially if you are very active. If you are starving yourself, your body will immediately convert food to fat. That is just biology and it is why starving yourself doesn’t work too good for losing weight. Stressing over your body will not help your depression. Instead of worrying about your weight, you should be more concerned about your muscle to fat ratio. Also bear in mind that it is a good thing to have some fat. Humans are supposed to have some fat stored up, especially girls. Unless, of course, you don’t want breasts and want the physique of a guy. If you’ve been doing all that exercise for eight months, then you should be fit and healthy or well on your way to it. If you’re still worried about your body, then talk to a doctor or your trainer. My advice to you would be to relax and live a little. You seem to have a very healthy lifestyle, so don’t be afraid to live a little. You should definitely eat more and don’t be afraid to eat something unhealthy once in a while. After all, it does no good to take all that care of your body unless you’re actually enjoying life. You’re 13. You’re very active, so you’re already ahead of most of your peers. Try not to stress so much and just enjoy your youth.

Ruth asks…

Will this make me lose weight?

So this year, during the summer-december (end of june-december) i will be working on the Nutcracker Ballet. (:

From this week to the beginning of june, ill be starting softball. i’ll be havin practice twice a week and ballet on mondays, and dance at school evryday for 50 minutes.

What else do i need to do to lose weight. I know i will gain muscle and thats what i want, especially in my legs-already have some too.

I don’t eat much. Like today i probably only ate around 1200 calories.

Thank you for the help (: . and if you have anything else to say, please say it.
Im 14 years old . 5’1” Feet. How t do you think much weight do you think ill lose by end of august if i only intake 1200-1300 calories a day. Btw, Nutcracker is around 4-8 hours of ballet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

To lose weight, you need to eat enough…and then exercise for 3,500 calories for each pound of body fat that you wish to lose.
I doubt you’re a 60 years old, 5’5 and 120lbs woman having a 1,200 calories BMR.

You should eat enough calories to cover your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or your body will adapt to a low caloric intake and lower your metabolism, making it very hard for you to use your body fat. And then, as soon as you would eventually start eating normally again, you would make body fat very easily, because you would have a lower metabolism and therefore regain all the weight you lost and keep going up, unless you exercise A LOT. Also, if you’re younger than 21, you need to eat more when having a growth spurt so you don’t stunt your growth (you get ravenous).

Women’s BMR:
655 + (4.35 x weight in pounds) + (4.7 x height in inches) – minus (4.7 x age in years)

Men’s BMR:
66 + (6.23 x weight in pounds) + (12.7 x height in inches) – minus (6.8 x age in years)

Edit:

Average Height and Weight for Girls
12 – 13 years old
60 – 63 inches
95 – 105 lbs. (BMR 1,288 to 1,331)

14 – 15 years old
63 – 64 inches
105 – 115 lbs. (BMR 1,331 to 1,375)

Eat enough to cover your BMR (which is more that 1,200 calories if you’re 14 and 5’1) or you’ll end up with a lower metabolism. Eat more for growth spurts so you can grow into a woman or you’ll stunt your growth and end up a short adult (which maybe is what you want as tiny dancers are easier to lift). You should eat even more to have enough energy for your physical activities, either that or lose weight which is never a good time when you’re a teenager. Weight loss is often a health problem during adolescence (sickness, eating disorders…) as your body is supposed to gain a few pounds each year, not lose weight.

You did not mention your weight which the most important info when dealing with weight loss questions. Maybe your weight is average and you don’t want people to think that you have an eating disorder for wanting to be underweight. Or maybe you’re overweight and are self-conscious about that fact. Either way, think about your health first and foremost.

Im about an 8 but im 5 7.. I weigh 165 lbs but last year I was 198 lbs and a size 14 it took me like four months to lose 30-35 lbs but the first twenty lbs came off in like a month and a half I think.

Its easy after the first week orr two. Now im trying to get this last fifteen lbs off. Good luck =)

Donna asks…

How can I lose weight in one week?

I have gained a little tummy in one week, I’m not that fat people tell me I’m skinny but my stomach has grown a little. I’m planning on doing cardio everyday and I barely eat. I only ate chicken salad today and I’m going to do cardio soon. Any tips for fast weight loss now? I’m traveling in one week.

weight loss cardiff answers:

“Going hungry isn’t good for anyone. Eventually, you’ll end up breaking down and overeating,” says nutritionist Carrie Wiatt. Implement one tweak every day (and keep it up till showtime) to feel lighter and firmer. String bikini, here you come.

SUNDAY
Eliminate Processed Foods
They’re easy to get sucked into, yet unsatisfying. “They make you crave more food than your body needs,” says Wiatt. If you can’t pronounce the ingredients, the food is off-limits. Or hit the produce aisle for foods with no label at all.

MONDAY
Lay Off The Sauce
Not only are alcoholic drinks dehydrating and high in calories, they also make resisting unnecessary nibbles incredibly difficult. (No shocker here: Studies prove women consume more calories after drinking.)

TUESDAY
Get A Fiber Fix
It may be tempting to nix all carbs, but don’t forgo fiber, a proven source of long-lasting satiety. Sprinkle flaxseed onto yogurt or add a few teaspoons of sliced almonds to your salad. If you’re really craving carbs, have 1/3 cup fiber-rich quinoa, barley, or brown rice.

WEDNESDAY
Burn, Baby, Burn
Eating steadily throughout the day feeds the fire of your metabolism and keeps it burning calories at a steady clip. Enormous portions, on the other hand, slow it down. Aim for three small meals (300 to 350 calories each) and two snacks (100 to 150 calories each).

THURSDAY
Banish Bloat
Broccoli, onions, and peppers cause gassiness and bloating. Stick with water-based produce like cucumbers, spinach, and asparagus. Potassium-rich fruits like bananas and oranges also purge retained water.

FRIDAY
Flush It Out
Cells retain water when they don’t have enough of it. Down two to three liters (or four to six regular-size bottles) each day. Sip slowly and the water will hit your bloodstream rather than filter out through your liver, so you won’t have to pee every five seconds.

BEACH DAY!
Befriend Protein
The Atkins Diet is outmoded, but a healthy, protein-rich breakfast will fill you up and head off unnecessary snacking through this final push. “Try an egg-white scramble packed with veggies,” says Wiatt, who makes hers with three whites.
