Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

George asks…

Can i lose weight if i only eat 800 calories a day for only 3 days?

I want to lose weight. I’m 16 and about 147 pounds and im going on a beach trip in april and i want to lose weigth FAST! I found this thing called the 3 day diet which has you eat about 800 calories a day for only 3 days, and then requires 4 day of regular eating before you start the diet again. Problem is, my mom doesnt want to let me buy the stuff i need to do the 3 day diet. i want to do the 3 day diet with just different different foods. im thinking of just doing the 800 calories a day for 3 day with 4 days of regular eating but i wonder if it will work if i dont use the same foods as the 3 day diet…What do you think? Will it still work? should i do less calories?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hey Leah, in short this diet is nothing short of ridiculous. It may seem like a good idea, but you will do you’re body far more harm than good.

Eating 800 calories will warn the body to go into starvation mode, which means it will store any new food as fat, meaning you might be losing some weight but you could still have the same fat. You’re metabolism will shut down so any change I.e 4 normal days of eating will completely confuse it. You’ll be tired, grumpy and will have frequent mood – swings – not pleasant.

Also, crash dieting for a holiday is a bad idea generally, because dieting isn’t a short term fix, trust me I know from experience. You are young so the body is still developing, you can’t restrict it with basically no calories! Try 1300-1500 calories if you must count them, or just stick to a balanced diet and exercise.

You are only young, so for goodness sake enjoy food (but not to excess) and enjoy the holiday!

Joseph asks…

Is running 3 days a week enough cardio to lose weight?

I want my program to be something similar to what we did in military basic training. There, we ran MWF and did muscle strength exercises TThS. I lost a lot of weight in basic training. Granted, we were constantly moving even not in organized exercise time. And we were eating 3 meals a day and never in between meals and were drinking lots of water. I know I’m going to have to be sensible with eating, but I can’t handle a strict diet. If I starting working out 6 days a week, alternating 3 days cardio and 3 days strength will it be enough to lose some weight and maintain the weight. Let’s say I do that and don’t change what I eat, don’t eat anymore than usual.

I suppose it would be good to run everyday, but I hate to do the same thing on consecutive days. We didn’t in basic training, and it worked. I got into the best shape of my life. Any suggestions? I’m so tired of being overweight.

weight loss cardiff answers:

If you want to lose weight some weeks. You can try Lose weight a week plan first!

Day 1:

Eat the soup accompanied with watermelon and melon for your main food all day long. Consume a glass of unsweetened cranberry juice before you go to bed.

Day 2:

Stop eating fruit at all! Consume your soup and you are allowed to eat green salad. Make sure the salad contain no dressings, peas and corns.

For dinner you can consume roasted potato or baked potato with butter (don’t ever think to fry it)

Day 3:

Consume the soup, salad and fruit but no potato today.

Day 4:

Eat the soup accompanied with a glass of skimmed milk. Consume 8 pieces of banana to provide your body enough energy. Your body now need carbohydrate and protein also calcium to lessen body need for sugar.

Day 5

Eat your soup again. Today you should consume salad and salmon fish. Make sure the salmon fish don’t exceed 10 ounces.

Day 6

You should consume maximum 10 ounces of meat along with your soup. You need the protein here.

Last Day

Consume 4 table spoons of rice with vegetables. Drink fresh watermelon or melon juice without sugar and eat your soup also today.

Good Luck and Take care 🙂

Linda asks…

how many weight can i lose in 3-4 days ?

im 4’11” 106lbs 16years old
i really need to lose some weight

weight loss cardiff answers:

Easiest way to lose weight fast and safely is to cut your calorie intake by eating more on fiber, fruits and vegetables. You’ll feel full with fewer calories on them. Fruits, vegetables and fibers are packed with nutrients but less on calories.

I lost 10 pounds in just 2 months using these tips.

Here are Tips to help speed up your metabolism plus help you lose weight without being miserable. They worked for me =)

“Taking the time to relax and savor food increases calorie and fat-burning power by up to 30%”, mainstains Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet( Healing Arts Press, 2005).

The reason: Savoring stimulates the cephalic phase digestive response, or “brain phase” of digestion, which then sets up a slimming chain of events. First, it signals the hypothalamus, the brain’s emotion-and-appetite-control center, to trigger the release of the metabolism-reviving thyroid hormone and the pleasure neurochemical cholecystokinin (CCK). In turn, CCK hinders production of the stress hormone cortisol, a known cause of fat accumulation.

1. Outsmart Snack Attacks for 4 hours and Lose Weight

Savoring Berries can oustmart snack attacks for 4 hours and help you shed 5% of your body weight in 6 months. The credit goes to dozens of blood sugar stabilizing antioxidants. Bluberries are so packed with them, just a half cup daily can boost your blood levels by 100%.

2. Fill up on Fiber and Lose Weight Fast

Fill up on Fiber – Foods rich in fiber will make you feel satisfied and help curb your appetite, helping you to lose weight fast and safely – so make sure to pack your diet with fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

3. Boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50% by sipping coffee

Sipping coffee before a meal can supress appetite by 35%, plus boost fat-burning metabolic rate by 50%, according to extensive research at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The study-proven dose : 250 mg of caffeine daily, taken either in supplement form or by sipping to cups of coffee or 4 cups of tea.

4. Lose Weight just by eating Yogurt

Yogurt is a calcium-rich food. Research links calcium with lower cortisol production, and it has been proven that women who increase they’re intake lose up to 40% more weight than calcium avoiders.

Plus Yogurt has live microorganisms which helps proper digetion and absorption of nutrients we take. Make sure to get yogurts that says “with live microorganisms in labels/packages”.

5. Try this Hunger-Taming Trick

Cut fat and you’ll cut cravings. Consuming a high-fat diet may supress your body’s natural satiety signals, according to a new study from Pennsylvania State University. Animals who’d been consuming a diet rich in fat ended up eating 40% more of a high-calorie snack than those on average diets. Keep your fat intake to less than 30% of total calories.

6. Feel full on less food.

Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that slows the digestive process, so you’ll feel full on less food.The result: You’ll eat just enough food to make you happy, reducing calorie intake.

7. Studies suggest people pursuing a healthy weight could lose more weight and burn more fat by including 24 ounces a day of low fat or fat-free milk in their reduced-calorie diet, instead of 8 ounces or less.

8. Speed fat burn with Cranberries.

The ascorbic acid in cranberries helps thin liver bile, making it easier for the organ to emulsify fat so so it can be quickly flushed out of the system rather than stored in cells.

9. Boost your protein intake and lose almost a pound a week without hunger.

You can try protein smoothies. Packed with nutrients and low in calories, smoothies are a fast, easy and great tasting way to achieve good health.

You can find a wide collection of healthy fruit smoothies at : http://fruitsmoothierecipe.bravehost.com

By boosting your protein intake from the typical 15% of total calories to 30%, you may be able to cut your daily calorie intake by 440-enough to lose almost a pound a week without hunger, according to a recent University of Washigton study. “A high-protein diet appears to fool the brain into thinking you’ve eaten more than you have,” says the study’s lead author, Scott Weigle, M.D., a professor of endocrinology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Stick with lean protein rather than high-fat, artery clogging meat and dairy products. For breakfast, use low-fat milk instead of water in your oatmeal and sprinkle nuts on top. Eat plenty of beans, fish and skinless chicken breast.

10. To counteract a binge, keep your body’s fat-burning furnace running on full blast by drinking Green Tea.

Green Tea contains caffeine and the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) , which is proven to boost metabolic rate. In fact, in a recent 3 month study, participants who took Green Tea extract lost 4.6% of their body weight without changing their diet. To get the benefit, drink at least 3 cups a day.

Whenever I ate too much, I just drink green tea and I don’t have to worry gaining weight.

11. Speed weight loss and double energy levels by eating Coconuts.

This tropical treats contain medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), a unique fat that is shuttled straight to the liver and immediately burned for fuel. Research shows this little detour revs metabolic rate by up to 50%, speeding weight loss and doubling energy levels

Plus my favorite tip : Before you eat, drink a glass of water. This will help you feel fuller without additional calories (water has no calories). And Satisfy sweet cravings and keep your stomach full longer by eating all-natural fruits.

Michael asks…

weight watchers or fernwood slimplicity weight loss program?

I want/need to start a weight loss program (mostly for the accountability) and wondering what system would be best, weight watchers or the program at my fernwood gym or another than someone can suggest? Has anyone tried either? did it work?
PS. want to lose about 35plbs.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Gym always will be better choice!!!

If you really want to lose wight and fat then you should remember and do this:

EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) + L-Carnitine + TAKE LESS CALORIES + LIPO-6 = 100% SUCCESS

1) if you dint have then buy scales!!! That is the first thing to do!!

2) run every 2 days for at least ~30 minutes or/and walk every day at least 5 km!

3) L-Carnitine!!!

L-Carnitine is a nutrient that helps the body turn fat into energy. It is produced by the body in the liver and kidneys and stored in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and sperm. Usually, the body can make all the carnitine it needs. Some people, however, may be deficient in carnitine because their bodies cannot make enough carnitine or transport it into tissues so it can be used. Some other conditions, such as angina or intermittent claudication, can also cause insufficient carnitine in the body, as can some medications.L-Carnitine is made in the body from the amino acids lysine and methionine. It increases the use of fat as an energy source by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are ‘burned’ to release energy for body functions. It is available in several different forms including propionyl-L-carnitine and acetyl-L-carnitine. Propionyl-L-carnitine, through its enhancement of metabolism has been proven to prevent ischemia-induced heart dysfunction, and acetyl-L-carnitine has been suggested to delay the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. L-carnitine is found naturally in avocados, breast milk, dairy products, red meats (namely lamb and beef), and tempeh (fermented soybean product).

L-carnitine should be taken one hour before you will exercise! (Also you can take L-carnitine with meals or 1 to 1-1/2 hours after meals!)

L-Carnitine boosts energy by stimulating the body’s burning of tryglycerides as fuel, and sparing the supply of glycogen stored in the liver for heavier exertion. During exercise, the body will burn fat at a rate of 75-80% of maximum exertion, thus less glycogen from carbohydrates is burned. L-carnitine
allows the body to burn more fat, save more glycogen, and ultimately boost stamina and endurance. By providing more fat to the muscles, carnitine makes accessible an otherwise unavailable energy source.

FAT + OXYGEN + L-CARNITINE = ENERGY

5) you MUST change your diet!! Start to use products with less fat, less carbohydrates! Start count your calories! Do not eat more than ~2000 per day and if you feel that you can reduce this number then do it!

Because if you will use L-Carnitine – you will get calories from your body fat too!! So better is to eat 2kg fruits then 1 cheeseburger…
And drink more and more water!! REMEMBER – NO rice, NO pasta, NO pork, NO mayonnaise, NO sweets, NO candies, NO alcohol!!!!!
MORE fruits, vegetables!!!

6) also you should use some fat-burner! I had tried many of them but only one worked for me as fast as I wanted to! It was Lipo-6! I lost ~80 pounds in 3 months! No starvation!! Only LESS CALORIES + Lipo-6 + L-Carnitine + EVERYDAY RUN (WALK) = SUCCESS!!!

I do not know if any store carry Lipo-6 but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.healthbuy.com/product/overview/lipo6_weight_loss/?aid=749165

It worked for me and my wife!

And this method is working for my friends too!!

Just try it and I guarantee you 100% that you will lose wight!!!

Good luck!!!

Daniel asks…

How to lose weight easily.?

I’m 15 and all my life I have been stick thin and I have been able to eat what I want without gaining weight. This year I have gained a few pounds and I’m starting to feel insecure about it. Some of my clothes are getting a little snug and I can no longer wear a size 0. How can I get my body back to how it was easily. I wear a size 3 or 5 in juniors now (They don’t make a 4) (it goes like 0,3,5). Most of my family members naturally thin too. My dad is 5’10 and weight 130 pounds. I weigh like 126 now. How can I get back down to 100 or 95?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You have to start exercising if you really want to lose weight.
Go on youtube and search up Blogilates. I’ve been exercising with her for about a month now, and I already see results 🙂
Remember this “Train insane or remain the same?”
For the diet, cut down on meat, but only eat lean meat, fish, and lots of greens.
Fruits and veggies are a good source of vitamins! Try to stay away from the junk food, keep it somewhere you do not want to go. I promise you, if you keep this up, you will start seeing your body change.
It depends how much weight you are to lose, if you slack off on a lot of exercising, you might only lose a pound or two. But if you really stay focused and do the job, you will be losing much more weight!

Laura asks…

i wanna lose weight…?

um….ok..over the summer i really want to lose weight so wehn i come back to school i will shock everyone…what is a way i can lose weight easily???

weight loss cardiff answers:

To lose the weight, you need to eat less calories and start exercising. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF!!!
For exercise, do three to four sessions a week, 20 minutes at a time, of intense jogging, running, the Stairmaster, the elliptical, jumping rope, or biking should be enough to get the process in gear. Swimming, hiking, and taking aerobics classes are beneficial as well.

Nothing beats jogging or running. It’s the most intense, efficient, and effective method of burning calories. If running outside hurts your joints, try running inside on a treadmill or outside on a dirt path.

Again, you NEED three to four intense cardio sessions a week, at least 20 minutes a session, to help create a calorie deficit and help rid the body of the fat.

Also do at least ten minutes a day of strength training.

In terms of diet, you need to have 50 percent of your calories come from protein, 40 percent carbs, 10 percent fats. Cut calories gradually.

Donna asks…

What is the atkins diet?

Why would a low carb diet cause headaches fatigue and carbohydrates cravings?

weight loss cardiff answers:

The Atkins diet is a low carbohydrate diet program which restricts the consumption of carbohydrates for weight loss purposes. The Atkins diet is a weight loss diet designed by Dr. Robert Atkins in the year 1972. In 1972, Dr. Atkins recommended a low carb diet to treat obesity. The foods high in carbohydrates are replaced by foods high in proteins and fats. The calories from the carbohydrates are compensated by the calories from the fats and proteins. The Atkins diet is not only used to treat obesity, but also to treat epilepsy or diabetes.

Side effects of the Atkins diet include bad breath, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, weakness and others.

The Atkins diet and its side effects are discussed in detail in

Mark asks…

Which diet is better for quick weightlloss?

low carb diet, vegeterian diet, or a low calorie, low carb, and a low fat diet?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Low carb diets work (while you’re on them), but they’re hard on your kidneys and liver.

Low fat and low calorie diets are EXTREMELY hard to follow, because you’re constantly feeling hungry. Besides, many of the the “low-fat” foods have higher sugar levels and/or chemicals, which cause you to eat more… And thus prevent you from losing much weight.

Besides, you NEED healthy fats for your brain and organs to work properly. Most fat in our “modern” diets is the unhealthy type.

And, with virtually all diets, most people gain back all their pounds and more, once they stop dieting. Few people are disciplined enough to follow their “diet” for the rest of their lives.

Cheers,
Trevor

Daniel asks…

the sacred heart diet.?

has anyone been on the sacred heart diet? if you have please give me your thoughts and results of the diet.

weight loss cardiff answers:

I’ve tried the Cabbage Soup Diet, which is supposedly similar. Lost weight, but it made me so hungry I could’ve bitten someone’s hand off if they’d gotten between me and my tomato (the tomato and beef day). You’ll only lose water, if you lose anything at all. Most who’ve followed CSD can’t stay on it for more than a couple days due to the intense hunger. Here’s what I found out about Sacred Heart (it’s not from Sacred Heart or any valid healthcare source):

“The Sacred Heart Diet is a fad diet that has been circulating for many years. The diet was supposedly thought to come from the cardiology department at Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital where it was used for overweight heart patients. However, like most of these diets – this is an urban myth.

The Sacred Heart Diet has been called a number of different names (such as the Spokane Heart Diet, the Cleveland Clinic Diet, Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital Diet and the Miami Heart Institute Diet). The diet also bears a striking resemblance to the cabbage soup diet.

Background of the Diet
The Sacred Heart diet is a soup-based diet, and claims that you will lose 10-17 pounds in the first week. This may be true, but most of the weight will tend to be water – and will be gained right back very soon after the diet.

This diet is very clearly an unsustainable fad diet, but is not as nutritionally unsound as similar diets. Most of these diets claim some magical fat-burning science is involved, or that there is something special about the combination of foods. This is simply untrue – it is nothing more complex than a reduction in calories!

This diet is not recommended!!”
