Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Jenny asks…

Is it okay to take diet pills in combination with birth control?

The birth control is Lo Lesterin Fe (not sure on spelling haven’t picked it up at pharmacy yet) and I want to use diet pills. Don’t lecture me on it. What diet pills have people had success with and is it okay to take with birth control?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You should never combine any prescribed or non-prescribed medication without checking with your doctor first.

Herbal supplements do not have to be approved by the FDA there is no research done on the possible side effects of mixing these pills with medication. Most of the information available is anecdotal.

“One key suggestion from a number of doctors is to take the birth control pill up to three hours after you take the diet pill. “

Betty asks…

What is the best stimulant free fat and carb blocker or diet pill for women?

I’m a 30 year old female who can’t take diet pills with stimulants. My diet consists mainly of dairy and pasta, so I need a carb blocker or fat burner. I’ve checked out numerous websites claiming to be impartial but they all turn out to be promoting one brand or another. Any advice, and please, I know that exercise is the best way to lose weight and i am active. So diet pill advice only, please.

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.

Sandra asks…

What are the best diet pills that actually work for weight loss?

I would also like to know about diet pills that are healthy, I mean kind to the body but actually work. Has anyone got any tried and tested diet pills that they can recommend? Thks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

I did the Atkins diet for 2 weeks and lost a stone, but the best – and safest way to loose weight is to drink loads of water and excersise (go for a walk or do extra house work, I did and it works!) I found it hard to keep to at first, but now i feel great and my skin looks really fresh. In six months I’ve gone from a size 14 to a size 10. Give it a try and in six months you’ll be looking and feeling great!

Your Question About Easy Weight Loss

Mark asks…

If i eat 3 small meals a day, will I lose weight?

So, for example if i ate…

Breakfast: cereal and milk, or porridge, or a yoghurt, or fruit, or a cereal bar
Lunch: 1/2 a sandwich, or a salad, or a wrap, or a smoothie
Tea: Salad, or omelette, or a low fat microwave meal, or soup, or low fat homemade meals e.g low fat shepards pie, low fat spaghetti bolognaise, low fat chicken stir fry etc

would all of this be healthy? and help me lose weight? i wouldn’t snack between meals, i would make sure i would only eat 3 things everyday

weight loss cardiff answers:

You would definitely lose weight if you ate just three small things a day. But through this, you are not getting enough nutrition nor is it healthy. Snacking in between meals is a must. The best snacks would be fruits and nuts, which are both well for your diet. Don’t limit yourself to 1/2 a sandwich for lunch if you’re still going to be hungry. Eat until you’re about 75-80% full (for each meal). Don’t just eat less, but eat healthy. You can eat a lot of healthy food and still lose weight. Such as salads with a light vinegarette instead of dressing. Don’t starve yourself to lose weight. Also, drink lots of water and exercise. You will lose weight gradually.
Best of luck,
Xo.

Donna asks…

Will exercising 3 times a day for 30 minutes help me lose weight?

Hi Everyone.
I want to lose 10-15 pounds by August 23. I know its a short period of time to lose 10-15 pounds of weight, but i was wondering if it is possible, if i workout 3 times a day, for 30 minutes. I’m a very healthy person. I don’t eat fast food, or snack on unhealthy food. I am a vegetarian (but I eat albacore tuna).

Also: When I workout in the morning, do I eat before i workout or after, I read that you shouldn’t eat before you workout, but I was wondering why?
Thank you so much, if anyone could full in detail explain to me, it would be great.

I mean i work out 3 times a day for 30 minutes, which equals to 90 minutes total of exercise 🙂

weight loss cardiff answers:

Do you mean 90 minutes a day or 3 10 minute exercises? If it’s 90 minutes then I’d say you’d lose about 5-10 pounds compared to 10-15 pounds that you want to lose.

What type of exercise? Jogging is recommended with a bit of weight lifting beforehand. TRUST ME, I try did straight out cardio for 90 minutes straight daily for like 2-3 weeks and didn’t lose a pound so light weight lifing DOES make a difference (since studies have shown that weight lifting raises the rate in calorie lost by roughly 20-30%)!!!

You eat before because in the morning, your metabolism is at your lowest since you haven’t eatin’ for 10+ hours. But make sure you eat your breakfast 90 minutes to 2 hours before exercising so that the food won’t slow you down.

Ken asks…

What is the best way to lose weight in 3 days?

Ive been eating really unhealthy for the past week and now i have 3 days to be looking myself and good again. oops. i know this is unrealistic but what would be the best way to try??

weight loss cardiff answers:

Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way.

1. Lose weight with water.
Water is essential for everybody – it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven’t been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.

By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.

2. Soup up your weight loss program.
A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don’t eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.

3. Eat early to keep weight off.
The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m.

4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.
Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks.

5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.
Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don’t last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function – not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources.

Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.

Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.

6. Walk off the weight.
The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.

Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.

I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

May you live long, live strong, and live happy!

Brown rice – the one that you boil for 40 mins 🙂 Eat about 1/3-1/2 up at a time. 1/3 cup is considered one serving. Portion control is key for weight loss.

John asks…

How do you sell a blog?

I want to write a blog about my weight loss success. Would anyone read it or find it interesting?

weight loss cardiff answers:

People may find it interesting, but you need to build an audience if you want it to be read by a lot of people. There are tons of ways to build an audience for your blog. Here are a few simple ways:

1. Create a YouYube channel with videos about your weight loss strategies and link viewers back to related blog posts in the description for each video.

2. Create a Twitter account where you tweet useful information about weight loss. Whenever you write a new blog post, create a tweet about it with a link back to the post.

Jenny asks…

Where can I find a weight loss partner on the net?

I have no motivation at all, but I really want and must lose some weight. I asked some of my, ehem…friends to join me, but they don’t really care about this and aren’t by my side… Anyways! Where can I find a free weight loss partner, I mean like chating on the messenger or fb and talking about our succes, meals, exercises, motivate each other?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hi Andrea,

Maybe this comes a little late because I already lost a lot of weight and now I don’t really need to lose weight (although I try to keep up my diet most of the time). But anyways, maybe I can help you.

The thing is, I have a blog about dieting and I would really like to get in touch with people like you and give them free advice (for now, I just want visitors for my blog and not get money from them). So if you like, you can give my blog a visit, read about the possibilities offered there, and of course you can get in contact with me and we will talk about how you can lose weight.

Especially when your motivation is low, I can help you, because my brother also had no motivation (and no hope!) to lose weight.

So if you think this might be something for you, check out my source and write me a comment there, then we can also get in touch.

how can i lose weight fast?

Down to a size 6-7

weight loss cardiff answers:

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htm

Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html

It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:
