Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Mandy asks…

Is there a moral religion without the belief in a literal deity?

Similar to Buddhism, is there a religion that follows these standards?

It can’t require the belief in a literal deity, but more so a theoretical one, that being mother nature(similar to Wicca?).

It can’t require the belief in consciousness after death.

It understands spiritual enlightenment as the greatest goal and achievement.

It recognizes wisdom and peace as a practice.

It has high moral standards.

Not looking to partake in said religion, just doing some religious studies.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Mackenzie is incorrect. Not all wiccans believe that the gods are literal beings nor does polytheism in general require that the gods be literal beings. Wicca is not about the worship of gods in the same manner that the Abrahamic faiths are. There is nothing at all in Wiccan dogma that states that wiccans must seek to have a personal relationship with a personal god. That is peculiarly an evangelical born-again concept and relates to born again christians and their relationship with Jesus. How that applies to Wicca which is a religion totally separate from Christianity I have no idea. In other words, if Mackenzie chooses to believe she can foster a close relationship with an old woman in a grey cloak by chanting to Hecate thru ritual that’s her prerogative, but if others chose to honor an ancient and useful archetype and psychologically align our purpose with its useful symbolism through our ritual it’s still well within the guidelines of Wicca.

I challenge Mackenzie and her ilk to show the wiccan dogma which says otherwise or which states that her way is the better way or approved way or for that matter the majority way since most wiccans have never even be counted in a census let alone polled. Lets leave the public snide comments about another individual’s beliefs and practices to the Christians and concentrate on our own spiritual well being instead of gainsaying another’s by declaring that it only hovers around the ultimate truth of our own perspective. Enough said.

William asks…

What is the difference between a deity and a god?

Some use the two words interchangeably, but the fact that some cultures refer to their “gods” as deities refer than gods clearly makes me think there’s a difference. Take Tibet. Deities is how they refer to what would otherwise be called gods.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I think there is a slight difference, though the words are often synonymous. A god is a deity, whereas a deity may not necessarily be a god. A deity is often defined as a supernatural being; having divine powers or a divine nature.

Take the Greek myths for example. Zeus is a god, the supreme ruler on Mount Olympus. However, the nymphs of natural phenomena, while nature goddesses in their own right, were not typically (or always) seen or referred to as goddesses, but rather, they were the personification or manifestation of that area of nature. Calypso, who held Odysseus captive for seven years, is usually referred to as a nymph rather than a goddess, though she is immortal and possessed divine powers. One might also consider a demigod such as Achilles as a deity. He was not a god, but because his mother was a nymph, he was semi-divine.

I think a lot of it also largely depended on the cult or worship. Gods usually had their own cult centers or areas of worship (Apollo in Delphi, for example), or a system of practices to pay homage. Minor deities, such as nymphs, were not often venerated as gods or goddesses, so usually did not.

Joseph asks…

(Mythology) How can a deity be both human and divine?

Could you explain this to me? Hamilton once said that in Greek myths, deities were human for the first time. So how can a deity be both human and divine? Also if possible, could you please explain if there’s a paradox in the Greek system of belief, and if it provides a useful way of understanding the world. Thank you.

weight loss cardiff answers:

In Egyptian mythology the tradition of Divine Kingship was very important. The God-Kings were the intermediaries between the gods/goddesses and the people of ancient Egypt. The kings were able to make claim to their kingships through divine association. The kings’ names reveal this bond, as well as reliefs that show the kings in communication with deities. By the Fifth Dynasty we find the kings calling themselves the sons of Ra. Btw, the Egyptians had an established religion long before the Greeks. The site below actually gives some good information on the subject.

Chris asks…

i need a fast & good diet to lose weight?

ok i’ve had a not week and have been have in chocolate and now I’ve put on some weight(i know, i know) I was 8st 5lb but now i’m 8st 9lb and i just want to know what is a good and fast diet i can go on to lose weight and also what exercises i can do……plaez help cus im very unhappy about it…

if you got something rude then please keep it to yourself.
i don’t have the time for it!!!!!
just to add i do exercise(gym)…

weight loss cardiff answers:

When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym – a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).

Thomas asks…

Best fad diet, need to lose weight fast!! ?

i have just over a week! (9 days tomorrow) as i am going on holiday and i need to lose weight fast! has anyone done slim fast? apparently its safe and fast.. any reviews? if not what fast working diets worked for you! thankyou xo

weight loss cardiff answers:

What are the best fad diets? It’s a question I’m often asked. Unfortunately, I’m not really in favour of fad diets, so it’s a difficult one to answer.

It’s not that I’m against all fad diets on principle. But if there’s one message I’d like you to take away from my website http://dietdecide.com/health/top-15-most-ridiculous-fad-diets/, Obesity Cures.com, it’s that there’s no silver bullet. No one shot cure … No best fad diets.

That’s the message I hope you take away from this article.

Your ideal weight loss solution should comprise a basket of cures, each chosen to suit your specific needs. A diet, fad or not, may be one ingredient of that basket. But one size does not fit all.

However, if you are going to choose a fad diet as part of your weightloss basket, you should at least be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

High-Fat, Low-Carbohydrate Diets

Millions of Americans have joined the low-carb craze and started high-fat, low-carb diets such as the Atkins Diet and the Zone Diet. They are made up of about 60% fat, 10% carbohydrate, and 30% protein. These fad diets say you can eat high amounts of fat and protein while getting very low amounts of carbohydrates in the form of vegetables.

The main premise of the low-carb diet is that a diet low in carbohydrates leads to a reduction in body’s production of insulin.

The end result is that fat and protein stores will be used for energy. So you stuff yourself full of unlimited amounts of meat, cheese, and butter, and only eat a small portion of carbohydrates.
People who start the diet usually lose a great amount of weight, but it’s not permanent weight loss. Instead of burning fat, they lose water and precious muscle tissue.

Furthermore, these diets are low in several nutrients and contain excess amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats, substances that increase the risk of heart disease.

Plus, regardless of what they claim, the enormous amounts of protein put a strain on your kidneys.

Not exactly a promising contender for the best fad diets title!

Moderate Fat Diets

Next, there are the moderate fat diets. Moderate fat diets include diets like Weight Watchers, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid, Herbalife and Jenny Craig.

These diets are made up of about 25% fat, 60% carbohydrate, and 15% protein. They encourage the intake of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and essential fatty acids found in foods like olive oil and salmon.

Jenny asks…

How can I tell if I’m retaining water or gaining weight?

I’ve noticed that my weight goes up and down daily. For example on Friday my weight was 1_3, Saturday my weight increased by 3oz’s and then on Sunday my weight increased to 1_9. I haven’t been over eating however I’m not on a healthy diet plan and I could drink more water. I am also bloated and gassy which is why I refused to weigh myself today. Could my up and down weight loss/gain be water retention or a combination of all of my symptoms. How do I get rid of all of these symptoms?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Check your body fat! If your body fat is the same but your weight keep changing drastically then is water. Any GYM will be able to measure you for you body fat. Or you can go to:
http://www.nowloss.com/online-body-fat-percentage-calculator.htm
This is just an estimate, to get your real body fat go to a pro.

Lisa asks…

What is the “normal” weight for a 13 year old girl?

I’m like, desperate to lose weight xD i’m 13, about 5’3 ish and around 180 sumthin pounds $: please help! I want to lose at least 50 or so pounds before High school… I’ve Legit been sitting here alone for 4 hours on Google looking for something useful :/ anyone have any good tips to loose 50lbs in less than 8 months? Also i have a mild Thyroid condition which kind of interrupts my attempts to weight loss. It’s sooo embarrassing being like me in Grade 8. I have 3 pretty good friends, but i don’t feel like i fit in :/ Help? 😀 It would be much appreciated. Thankss! <3

weight loss cardiff answers:

Ok firstly calling someone VERY FAT is pretty mean. Instead of normal weight for years normal weight for height is the way to go. BMI charts and calculators can help you determine what a normal weight is for your height. I am between 120 and 125 pounds and I am overweight and I’m 13

Teenage Weight Loss Question?

Teenage Weight Loss Question?
Teenage Weight Loss Question?
Question Details: I want to lose 20 pounds. I am 130 pounds, 5’3”, and 16 years old. I am a size 8. I want to lose 20 pounds and go down to a size 4 at least. I also want to tone up my body for the winter sports season. Does anybody have any ideas for diet and exercise? Please all suggestions welcome. Why does it come so easily for others? I hate sitting with my friends while they are all size twos and eating brownies, cookies, and chips.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Teenagers losing weight can be a dangerous thing. If your body has not fully developed you could be causing harm. Depending on if you have finished growing in height determines whether or not you should try to lose weight. A Dr can tell you this. But if you eat properly and exercise your body will do the rest. Size 4 may not be your ideal size. And because clothing manufactures all vary in their idea of size, you can not judge what SIZE you really are by clothing. If think your body is too big in some places exercise to tone the muscles in those areas. This will burn any fat there. And don’t worry about those supposed size 2’s If they keep eating like that, they will find themselves size 12 by the time they reach adulthood.

William asks…

weight loss cardiff answers:

Step one * Water –

Before every meal drink 16 ounces of water prior to eating. Doing this can help you lose weight, as you will eat less but still be full. This helps to encourage you to get the recommended amount of water daily and lose weight.

Step two Eat Less Calories Then You Burn –

In order to lose weight quickly you need to eat less calories then your body actually burns. One pound of fat equals 3500 calories, so you need to burn more calories each day in order to lose weight. All during the day, even in your sleep your body is burning calories. You can easily burn more calories then you eat by increasing activity and cutting calories in your daily diet. Just by cutting 500 calories a day and increasing exercise you can lose weight quickly. This is the best way to lose weight and remain healthy. So cut out the bad food and increase the good foods.

Step three * Increase Fiber –

Eating more fiber each day will help to increase weight loss. Include whole grains, raw vegetables, slightly cooked vegetables, fruits, fiber enriched cereals, whole wheat pasta, beans, etc. In the beginning if you eat to much fiber you may experience bloating, cramps and gas, so do it gradually day by day. Also increase the amount of water you drink as it helps your body to digest the fiber more efficiently.

Step 4 Stop Eating Sugary Foods –

Just dropping the sugar from your diet can help you lose weight quickly. Make sure that you stay away from it all together if you want to lose weight quickly. This means no sugar in your coffee, on your cereals, or eating that candy bar!

* Cut the carbs from your diet. Carbohydrates turn into sugar inside our body’s and makes you hold onto body weight and fat. Omitting carbs from your diet can help you drastically drop the unwanted pounds. These days there are many alternatives to diets without carbs that are tasty and nutritious.

* Increase fiber into your diet.

* Incorporate fruits and vegetables into your diet.

* Make sure you eat your dairy items. You can choose to have low fat or even fat free milks and yogurt’s.

Step 5 Watch Your Portion Size –

Many people have no concept of the amount of food that hey should be eating. Here are some helpful tips about portion sizes…
3 ounces of meat, fish, chicken, etc. Is about the size of the palm of a woman’s hand or a deck of playing cards.
An ounce of cheese is about the size of your thumb.
A teaspoon of butter is the about the size of your thumb tip.
Learning the correct portions that you should consume can greatly improve your weight lose.

* Stay Away From Fried Foods –

* Watch the calories, they count when you are trying to lose weight. Stick to a diet within a certain range of calories consumption ideal for you.

Step 6 Exercise –

Many of us may feel that we simply do not have the time to incorporate exercise int your busy lifestyle. That is just an excuse! There are many ways to get the exercise that you need. When you are at work take the stairs instead of the elevator, or park a little farther then normal so you walk farther. Instead of going out to the movies where you just sit, do something physical like bowling, golfing, dancing, etc. Every extra bit of exercise helps!

Remember that any diet that promises you a fast and easy way to lose weight without even trying, is a fake! They are relying on the hopeful ones that want to believe there is a miracle cure to lose weight out there to get themselves rich. They are selling you a fantasy and that s the bottom line.

Daniel asks…

Colon cleanser for teenager??!?!?!?

Hey I’m a teenager girl my weight is 150 and I’m 5’1 I wanna lose 5-10 pounds maybe even more… So my question is.. How much will I lose?? Is it safe?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Yes you can lose weight with cleanser, you can easily lose 4-5 pounds with colon cleanser, but if you want to lose more than 5 pounds then you have to do the workout also.

It is completely safe if you choose the right product. Always select a product which are made up of natural herbs, plant roots. More the product is herbal, less is the side effects;

some time before i have tried one product, which is good and found efficient for detoxification. As per my experience it is delicate with our system.
