What is a healthy weight for me?21 years old6' 2"Medium build.
Answer:
Ideal weight isn't just based on your age and height.It's also based on your body structure.You can look at a chart but it may just be a waist of time.I'm 22,4'10 and my ideal weight is around 95lbs.My body structure however says I should be about 120-125.If you're concerned about your weight you should go to your doctor and ask what the weight for all three should be.Just remember it's called "ideal" for a reason.Don't hurt yourself trying to be the weight some stupid chart says you should be.Eat right,get good exercise and have plenty of fun getting in shape!!

According to the Body Mass Index, an appropriate weight would be from 171-209 pounds.

well your pretty tall so your probably safe between 160-180
but if you want professional help you can go to any diet website set up a free profile and be able to use the tools there
such as e-diets..com,fitness .com . or even yahoo health i think they have tools

between 150 to 186 i do believe. man ur tall!! lol

i weight 140 pounds and i am 5"3 i would really like to lose 15-20 pounds and tone up by summer, meaning near the end of june.can anyone give me tips?? thanks =)
Answer:
Try Jenny craig. I joind 4 weeks ago and have already lost 15 pounds! They have reasonable programs.

Tone up by working out, that will lost the weight right there. I don't think you need to diet, just eat right.http://beachbody.com
power 90 or p90x.......Take supplements as well. good luck.I lost 70lbs.

Start doing 3 - 5 sessions of cardio each week, with each session lasting for at least 30 mins. You can do anything that gets your heart rate up such as boxing, running, swimming, dancing, power walking, etc.Buy some light weights (3 or 4 pounds) and start doing some strength training as well - lunges, squats, pushups, bicep curls, tricep extensions, etc. Having muscle mass burns more calories than not having muscle.Eat more fresh fruit and vegies, whole grains, lean meat and fish. Stay away from fatty foods and takeaway, or at least limit what you have. Drink 2 liters of water a day and stay away from soft drinks as they are just empty calories.Limit the amount of processed foods you have (cakes, cookies, chocolate).

I have been working out for about 6 months really trying to gain muscle strength and endurance. I'm a 27 year old female. I can't get past 5 curls with the 50 lbs bicep barbel. when I started I could do 20 push up, now I can't get past 30. I need to be able to do pull ups and still can't even do one. I have no definition in my arms like I had hoped. Is this what they call a plateau? What can I do to boost my strength up? Am I missing a critical part of this?
Answer:
Add more protein to your diet, particularly whey isolate and be sure to have a post workout protein drink (within 45 minutes of completing your workout) as this is the most critical period for recovery and growth. Without knowing your diet or exercise routine it is very hard to give you an accurate answer, but keep in mind that your body grows as a whole so you need to be exercising all the muscles in your body and it is preferrable to use compound exercises (involves the movement of two or more joints as opposed to isolation exercises, like curls). Compounds build mass, isolation exercises carve in the details.

50 pounds is alot try with lighter weights and build up to 50 alot of ppl cant curl 50 5 times i dont think i can

are you mixing up the resistance training you are doing on the muscles? try pressing the bar or dumb bells for different results. Have you been working out your lats? most women can't lift their own weight doing a pull up anyway. What about assisted chin ups? also, you can try doing 3-5 sets of 8-10 reps at the max you can lift in order to tear the muscle so you get new growth and bigger muscle.

Look to your diet. Sounds like you are missing protein. Your body needs protein to rebuild the muscle you are tearing when you work out that hard. Your local gym should be able to recommend a dietitian who help you work out exactly what you need..

YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ALREADY...LISTEN UP!

I have two months until my trip to china, with my chinese friend who keeps telling me her mom says she is fat now (she is 110 lbs and 5'5) So, since i'm going to china and im obviously going to stand out (im 5'9, 150 lbs) i want to lose some baby fat before i leave, because i DONT want to be known as the fat american friend. What should I use to lose this weight, because i have NO free time whatsoever (my school requires 4 hours of work a night, plus 80 hours community service a year, and 2 hour practices every day), i was thinking about diet pills but i need one that is not terrible for you, and that will help lose weight around the middle. (im also going to eat healthier)
thanks!, please help meee!
Answer:
DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS! They are dangerous!!Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills (Leptopril -does not contain ephedra) on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.

smoke, dont eat and dont sleep 4 days on end. and you could take caffeine pills and generally stop being lazy

Get a workout dvd. billy blanks tae bo is really good and you can get it for about two dollars off of ebay. it works your whole body, including your midsection. good luck and enjoy your trip!!!

Watching your diet will help, but exercise will help more. So walk to class and get up and move as much as you can.
Don't eat fast foods. Stay with yogurt, fruit and vegetables. Also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Enjoy your trip.

first of all your not overweight. and who cares what the people in CHINA think. im not saying that to be ignorant but you will see those people once in ur life and never ever again. just be confident in how u look and feel. but if ur that concerned then u will find time to eat right and work out.

Help with pilates?

When they tell you to tighten your stomach, what does this mean? Also, sometimes when the instructer on the video is saying this should really be hurting, I don't feel it at all. I think this may be because I'm not really sure how to tighten my stomach. Is this right?
Answer:
Pilate's is not an intense workout, your not sup post to get really sweaty or tired. When they say tighten your stomach it means push your stomach to your spine, so your back does not get hurt during the exercise. Pilate's is great for toning and sculpting but you should do another cardio workout with it to speed up the results, and because Pilate's burn little calories. Good luck.

Tightenening the stomach means to sort of exhale and allow the stomach to expand which makes it tighten.

Answer:
Sent you an email, Godloveya!

I lost 105 pounds in 6 months. Here is how I did it.
1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me. Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!
http://www.calorieking.comA sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here. Check it out.
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/...Check out my before and after pic at my yahoo 360 page
http://profiles.yahoo.com/gorillamyke...Stay motivated, and get up and walk every day. I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk. Good LUCK!

Go lo-cal and get a grip on yourself ol' buddy.

My family and I have been using the best cleansing technology...:)the first time I did it, I lost 16 pounds in 9 days:)...check out this site....w w w .gocleanse. com/colinIt will change your life:)

Try to cut back on sweets , also chasing the kids around is a very good way to get in shape, plus you have to get the will power or some kind of support from people around you I think the kids is the best way to go try to get them more involve with physical things and play along with them it's a good start.

The secret is acknowledging the true purpose of food as fuel rather than entertainment. Focus on protein, fats, and carbohydrates and learn about each of them. A little bit of research online will teach you a lot. Remember, don't diet; change your eating lifestyle. Doing so will change your life for the better. For the exercise, consider it a priority to include it into your routine.Anyway, if you want it simple, here it is in ten steps:
1. protein is good...eat plenty (about 30% of your caloric intake)
2. fats are good and bad...know the difference
3. saturated and trans fats are the bad ones - limit these
4. poly- and mono-unsaturated fats are good - don't be afraid of them
5. carbohydrates are good and bad...know the difference
6. fibers and complex carbs are the good ones - eat these (about 40% of your caloric intake)
7. sugars and simple carbs are the bad ones - limit these, particularly late in the day (stay away from sodas and chips!)
8. drink water - lots and lots and lots of water. It's the only drink you need. Anything else is either wasted or simply bad for you
9. Eat 4-6 "meals" a day to boost your metabolism.
10. A meal is defined as a portion of a low-fat, protein rich entree, a portion of veggies for vits/mins, and a portion of complex carbs. (You can get these combined as a health shake)For exercise, it's even simpler:
1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.

Help with Eating Disorders?

2009-10-13T22:21:00.001-07:00

I am 14 years old, and I am obsessed with being skinny, not all the time but especially when I see stick skinny models walking down the runway. I think those models are very beautiful and some of them do look too skinny, but then again, some look just gorgeous. I am 5'7 and I weigh 105 lbs... I still (honestly) think I am too fat, although when I compare my weight to others its not...
When I look in the mirror, I dont see a fat person, but I dont see a stick person either.
I also think that people with a size 6 or up are 'fat'. I am a size 0 and I am very proud of it, although I do believe I can be skinnier and look better in the clothes I wear. This is not realy a question but I would just like to know, because whenever I try to say (or point out) to someone that I find those models beautiful they are like; No, too skinny, etc. I dont diet a lot, but would this be the behaviour of someone with an eating disorder??
Answer:
If you eat normally and eat healthy foods as well as exercise regularly, then your problem is just your attitude and it's not reflecting in your behavior. It may eventually lead to an eating disorder, though that is not a guarantee. If you are really concerned about this, talk to your doctor and see if you should see a psychologist.What I don't understand is why anyone would want to be a stick figure. Women are supposed to have a little more fat on their bodies so they can bear healthy children. We're aren't supposed to be twig-people. Gaining weight as you get older is inevitable barring any terminal illnesses. A size 6 is still pretty small, you know... But whatever... to each his/her own. As long as you're not in peoples' faces telling them they're a "Fat Cow" when they are a size 7...

I'm pretty sure you have an eating didsorder, plus i bet you're way to skinny, like i could break your arm skinny. But you are 14 and 5'7 so maybe im overreacting. Try talking to someone close. Plus thinking that girls that look like pencils, to the point where you can see their bones, spine,and rib cage is not normal, even pencil thin.

i am a y 5 10.i am 99 pounds amd i have to wear kids clothes.it sucks.but most models eat like maybe 800cls a day and exercise a lot.if you wanna look like a model put the cookies and cake away and eat really healthy.try ddr workout model.pencil thin is ok if you are a model but in this world people would yell at you like they do to me.just dont starve yourself because this will be you.
R.I.P.DEATH!DONT BELIEVE ME THEN TRY IT I DARE YOU

Help with diet please?

I am in 8th grade abd im not good at sports so i can't really excersize much and i tried dieting but im still fat help
Answer:
You don't have to be good at sports. Walking or jogging everyday is a great way to stay healthy. For example, going for a walk after dinner is a good way to burn some extra calories. Home aerobics videos can help too; the ones that you watch on your TV. Eat a good mix of vegetables and meat, and stop eating when you feel full. It takes 20 minutes for your body to realize that you are fed up, did you know that? Eat slowly, 10-15 chews per bite. Don't eat too much sweets; what would you rather have, a slim figure for life or a tasty treat for a minute? Hope I helped =)

Are you really fat, or are you just normal and think you need to be skinny%26gt; how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

Hi,
Have you ever heard of Goji Juice? In and Asian anti-obesity study, patients wre given goji each morning and each afternoon. Results were excellent with most patients losing significant weight. In another study, goji polysaccharides were shown to reduce body weight by enhancing the conversion of food into energy instead of fat. To find out more go to www.sharegoji.comdehemi@comcast.net

The only way you are going to be able to lose weight is if want to change your life style. It is so difficult unless you really want it. You just need to set your mind to it. It is as easy as this:* Don't eat out often. If you do, make smart choices. (subway)
*Get rid of all the junk food in your house.-if it is not there-you wont be tempted. *Change your eating habbits. Eat smaller portions. I count my calories- that seems to work best for me because you can eat what you want. Just stay with in your calorie limit. *Treat yourself now and then-just don't over do it.
*Don't eat after 6:00 pm. - drink water-that will fill you up and it's good for you.
It is really important that you exercise. Once you get into it- you probably will enjoy it.-- exercising makes you feel better because it balances your hormones.
You don't have to be good at sports to exercise. Actually once you get in shape you probably will find something your really good at.-(practice makes perfect)
Good luck and I know you can do it if you set your mind to it.
People think they need help dieting or some new diet fad.--all you need is will power and to really want it. It takes commitment, willpower and a lifestyle change--good luck

your not fat your just ugly and really fat may i call you meliksha

Help with building leg muscles?

2009-10-13T22:20:00.003-07:00

Hey guys, I need a bunch of bodyweight exercises I can do to build muscle on my thighs, hamstrings and calves. I can use light weights, I have dumbells (up to 50 lbs) and a barbell up to 80 lbs. Any help would be appreciated.
Answer:
I would suggest you go buy some more plates for your barbell. A pair of 45s should last you for a little while.For thighs I would reccomend: Back Squats (if you have a rack you can get under), front squats, lunges, one legged squats with dumbells.For posterior chain(hamstrings, glutes, lower back): Good mornings, deadlifts, romanian dead lifts, power cleans, snatches.Except for good mornings you can use dumbells with any exercise instead of a barbell.Calves: Stand on a step or block and hold a dumbell in one hand, do calf raises using just the foot on that side and balance with your opposite hand.Sprinting is also a great leg workout that releases alot of growth hormone.

You don't want to do raises daily, you need to give the muscle time to rebuild. But raises are an excellent exercise.

do squats
they help ALOTatleast 50 or 100 a day
then increase once you get used to it

2009-10-13T22:20:00.001-07:00

I have some questions about human anatomy; the spine and the spinal cord:1. If you get hit hard in the backbone/spine (a human punch), can it stunt growth? Can it cause scoliosis? Can it damage the growth plate? 2. If you get hit in the backbone/spine, can it cause a dent in the vertebrate (if it could, could it stunt growth)? Can you misalign a vertebrate (if it could, could it stunt growth)? Can it slightly push it in (if it could, could it stunt growth)? 3. What are the symptoms for spinal cord injury and if it is very very slightly damaged what would happen to your body?4. What is the chance of damaging your spinal cord or one of the spine's vertebrate in order for you to stunt your growth? How damaged needs to be both of these to stunt growth (give examples plz).
Answer:
I'll try to give you more specific answers.1. If hit hard enough, yes, growth plate can be damaged. Growth plates can be damaged by trauma if enough forces are used. But I don't think'll be easy to damage growth plate of a vertegra via punch. As far as causing scoliosis. It can case what's called antalgic scoliosis. That the lateral curvature of the curve due to pain or spasm and body trying to assume the nonpainful position. Usually, it's easy to treat as once pain sources is taken care of, curvature is self corrected.2. No..bones do not dent. If hit hard enough, you could fracture it. If the fracture is on growth plate, yes it can stunt growth. But not overall growth. Just that one segment of vertetra that was damaged. And yes you can misalign the vertebra that way. It's called anterolisthesis or retrolisthesis (slippage of vertebra forward or backward). Usual cause of the condition is trauma and you need to fracture the pedicles before this can happen. And no, this won't effect growth neither overall or segmental.3. Some of the symptoms for spinal cord injury includes thingling, numbness, shooting pain, weak muscles, fasciculation of the muscles, loss of organ function (bowel movement or bladder control for example)...but there are many conditions that mimic each of the above symptoms..so you shouldn't try to self diagnose. If any of the symptoms exist, go see a doctor.4. I'd rather not answer this one. Just too suspicious. It just doesn't do any good for anyone to know. If you suspect that you or someone you know may have spinal cord injury, please go to emergency room ASAP as any loss of function you may incur from spinal cord damage could be permanent if not treated within certain time frame.

Wow. What's going on? Are you thinking you're too tall? Hope not.
1. no to everything
2. no to all questions
3. spinal cord injuries show up in many ways, but they're usually the result of a severe trauma. I've never heard of slightly damaged spinal cord.
4. the chances are poor. Don't try this. There is nothing wrong with being tall.
You may need to look into therapy about this.
I'm tall, and proud of it.

Injury to the spine should not actually stunt your growth. Growth is control by hormones. The spinal cord is a giant nerve and serves as the pathway for communication between your brain and body.If the bones of the spine are injured or broken, it can affect HOW you grow. Bone spurs or improperly healed bones can cause deformities like a hunchback. If these injuries cause deformities that limit the ability of the body to supply oxygen and nutrients to the body, those parts that are deprived might not grow to their full potential, like crops that don't get enough water.Damage to the spinal cord (or even pressure on the cord from a damaged vertebra) can cause other portions of your body not to work correctly (or at all) because the commands to the muscles that control that area might not be getting through correctly (or at all). It's not easy to predict what damage/pressure will do because there are a lot of factors.Sorry to be so vague, but it's a hugely complicated subject, and hard to give general guidelines for... Hope this helps!

Help on reasearch abt junk food?

2009-10-13T22:20:00.000-07:00

I need to do a research on how the intake on junk food in childhood can caused many health problems in adulthood. I was asked to investigate the above statement and show how a healthy diet could prevent these health problems.i need to do a research about 12 - 15 pages and i don't know where to start. Basically what are the important factors i should focus on? If possible, could you list down systematically what i should do in this research till the end of the task. thks
Answer:
mm. hopefully this can help u a lil bit
1 define the difference between junk food and home-prepared food based on the nutritional content and balance. for example junk food may provide good nutritional content but they're likely to be imbalance in the proportion because most nutrients in junk food are mainly fats and saturated fats2. u observe or find from scientific journal articles the differences between people who frequently and infrequently consume junk food3. u start making a link between those junk food eaters with health impacts ( it is very good to find a previous longitudinal study which did obeservation for a long time to follow junk food eaters from they were children up to grown up. and the rest u gotta find it yourself

First you should collect data about diseases caused by junk food I mean fat . And you should explain the diseases and they will cover more than 5 pages depending on your presentation . And you should find researches about adults who have junk food habits and their health conditions and risks . You should try to be scientific as possible .

Look up Childhood Junk Food on Google or Yahoo.

that sounds really interesting. you should focus on the emergence of fast food and it's effect on society. maybe compare/contrast families who primarily ate out versus those who chose to cook. there probably wasn't much research done on the effects of childhood malnutrition until the generation of fast-food-eating kids grew up. discuss obesity, diabetes, heart disease, anything that's been linked to malnutrition. if you're supposed to provide how a healthy diet prevents these health problems you'll need to focus on what specifically fast food has that is so harmful (lots of sugar and fat, preservatives, etc.) watch "super size me", it might give you some ideas for your research, but as an entertainment film i wouldn't use it as a resource. hope that helps.

Help my boyfriend out!?

2009-10-13T22:19:00.002-07:00

My boyfriend has always had stretch marks on his booty, however since he gained a good 30 pounds he his stretch marks have reached all around his beer belly and his back. I feel bad for him because even though I don't mind I notice that he is intimidated to take off his shirt when we go to the beach, please help! The stretch marks on his stomach are protruded than the ones on his booty, what can he do about them? If he was to loose weight would they go away? are they there forever?
Answer:
They probably won't go away completely, but they would be less noticeable and you can get various skin products to try to make them go away. Plus, speaking from experience, the belly is probably more of a personal reason for not wanting to take his shirt off at the beach than the stretch marks are. I'm sure if he lost some weight this would be much less of a problem and the stretch marks would be much less noticeable. Have him get on a proper diet and start lifting weights. Once he gets down to a healthy weight you can worry about the stretch marks. The stretch marks aren't going to affect his long term health...however, being overweight puts him at risk for numerous long-term health issues as well as short term issues such as developing diabetes.

Stretch marks are basically scars. They can be lessened with scar treatment cream, or surgically lightened (dramatically, and expensively) with lasers. There is no real cure that makes stretch marks go away. I have them all over my hips, thighs, and lower stomach. I look as if I have had ten kids, though I have had none. I gained weight rapidly as a teenager, and my skin suffered massive damage.Try scrubbing them with a loofah and some body scrub. They make body scrub in manly scents, so your boyfriend won't smell like a fruit basket. Scrubbing them, and putting on lotion will help soften the appearance, but don't expect miracles.As far as his confidence goes, he will not accept your opinion of him until he feels good about himself. That's not an easy thing for him to do. Perhaps point out people at the beach who also have stretch marks, and help him see that there are other people just like him.

I know that Cocoa Butter lotion helps to prevent stretch marks, but I'm not sure if it will help make them go away. You could try it for a little while and see if it helps at all.

Answer:
My dear first believe in God without any doubt.
Now your problem you haven't written ur weight, age and height. No matter.
1. Follow Routine in your daily life style.
2. Jogging is always suggestive either in morning or evening.
3. Reduce your intake.
4. Avoid much of sweet, fat and potatoes
5. Increase intake of greens and leaves.
6. Start doing work with ur on hands better if u do household works yourself like cleaning and kitchen related works.
7. Avoid vehicles for short distances.What else I can say. I am not a specialist %26 I don't know much of you, but I think above will surely help you.

why do you have to loose weight so fast??? There is no way to loose weight fast in a healthy way! Everything else will mess up your body even more! Been through that myself! Take your time, eat lots of veggies and fruit, zero sugar, low fat and lots of sports... that's how i lost 77 pounds in 8 months... You don't want to use pills and sh... like that, because it's gonna bounce back immediatly, after you stop! Ask me more about it, i like to help with that!!!

try n search for the gm diet...its safe...n healthy...n costipation can make u toxicated n can kill u...n beleivin in god is totally on u...

First of all, there is no magic pill for weight loss. If there was, there would not be overweight people. Losing weight is not something that you can just beg for help for and then it happen. You need to be talking to yourself. You have to be the one to want to make the change, set your mind to it and get it done. Second of all, STOP BLAMING GOD! He is listening, he is always listening. Just because you are not getting the answers that you think you should does not mean that he is not listening. Open your heart to him, open your mind to him and he will show you the way for everything. Give your life to God and the rest will fall into place. I am not saying that you won't have bad days and that you won't struggle at times. But those days are all part of God's plan for you. He knows that you can do better than what you are doing, so he has to motivate you somehow. Take a moment, talk to God honelstly, ask him into your heart and to forgive you of all your sins. Have a more positive outlook on things. Be willing to change yourself and not expect others and God to do it for you. Then watch the happier times come your way and my guess is those pounds you want to lose will come off. Good luck to you and you are in my prayers. God Bless

No magic potion! So don't panic. Be calm and see your Doctor for medical advice. Have faith, God knows what is best for you.

You can easily get rid of constipation by drinking 5 litres of water daily. Out of this 5 ltrs, drink half the quantity in the morning in empty stomach immeditely after getting up from bed without brushing or performing other morning ablutions. After drinking 2.5 ltrs of water, you should run to the toilet if not on the first day then by the third or fourth day definitely. Water is the best natural laxative in the world.

try veg/fruit diet, eat fibrous food,do brisk walking for 1 hr in the morn %26 eve, cut out totally on smoking, non veg, drinks, cigs.
and dont blame god.

Reduce your caloric intake to about 1200 to 1500 per day and exercise, any exercise will do. Dedication, discipline, desire.

ok so im 5'6" and about 137lbs. i feel totally depressed about how i look etc. my goal is 125 by june (summer!) ive been saying id do this 4 years but i cant find motivation or anything that seems 2 work. suggestions? (im 17yrs)
Answer:
I agree with the other answers so far. It doesn't sound like you are really overweight. So, maybe you just need to start a healthy way of living. Yoga is terrific to get your mind clear and your body strong. You will be amazed at your energy level and how tone your body becomes. Let your family and friends know that you are looking to improve yourself, from the inside out. I am sure they will support you and you may even find that, along with cheering you on, they may even join you!

You're not overweight by much. What I would do is just some toning, yoga, kick boxing, or anything fun that you like to do. Even walk around the mall with friends, or sports you like to play. Give yourself a week to prepare before you start to exercise which will give you motivation to start. Look up some sports/exercises you heard about that sound good to you. If it's something fun, it will motivate you.

try finding a really beautiful pretty dress that u really really want like a size that u are aiming for,
get ur parents or friends to motivate u and to support u

137 is good, decent weight... limit yourself with suggary stuff and high in fat foods. you got time, so use it.

First of all you are not really overweight...go to the library and get the South Beach Diet book. It is a good plan of healthy eating to help you achieve your goals. Motivation is always hard to come by....for all of us....If you can't eat healthier try walking every day or taking steps often. Doing pushups during TV commercials is a great way to burn tons of calories!

Set a realistic goal of losing 3 pounds a month. That way, you don't have to be too strict with yourself.

dont try to lose weight just work out and your a good weight for your height

My darling girl, you are tall and at 137 pounds you are definately not big. You have to be comfortable with who you are on the inside, after all it is just a body and you can say proudly and boldly, I am 5'6" 137 pounds and SO WHAT! I am a good person, I am a clean person, I am a good student, to the rest of it SO WHAT?!!! Accept yourself and when you do, you will find that others will accept you too. I am 53, 238 pounds and 5'1" and to the world I say SO WHAT!!!!!! I am a good person, good mother, grandmother and friend. What do I care what I look like, I am a good person. Be proud of yourself sweetie. Good luck, God bless and put angels on your pillows.

Don't worry so much about a few pounds. Try to be more active ... pick a sport or an activity that you enjoy, and that you can share with others. It also helps to have a group of people being active together, that way you can help motivate each other.When I was at my old job, a group of us went running together. I got my weight down and even completed a half-marathon. I don't have that support group now, so I've put on about 20 pounds. It's harder trying to exercise and diet by yourself, get a support group!Good luck!

You have a body mass index of 22, which is well within the range of what defines a healthy body weight for you. If you feel depressed about your appearance, it is not a weight problem, but a self esteem problem. Healthy eating and active living, enough sleep and good mental health is the only way to go pal.

Help me!! I need immediate answers.?

Need to know good (easy and effective) excercise for upper chest muscle (pecs?) I have lost upper chest muscle,especially on left side, due to illness. I'm looking for excercise that will build muscle and not just tone. I am female and I CANNOT do push ups.
Answer:
lay on your back and push dumb bells up and out..... works great!

Swimming is the best exercise for pecs (and a lot of other things as well!)

Help me with my diet!?

2009-10-13T22:18:00.001-07:00

okay...so i have about a month and a half to loose 10 pounds. please help me with exactly what i should do, (exersiseing ect.) and exactly what i should eat and when. i really really really relaly need help!
Answer:
OKAY ..FAD DIETS BAD.....YOU LOSE NUTRIENTS AND MUSCLE WITH QUICK LOSS BUT FASTER GAIN BACK........SO HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL HINTS......FIRST CHANGE YOUR DIET A LITTLE.......SNACK ON ...."NEGATIVE CALORIE FOODS" .......THESE ARE FOODS THAT ACTUALLY BURN MORE CALORIES TO DIGEST THEM THEN IS IN THE FOOD ITSELF...EXAMPLE BROCCOLI 25 CALORIES, BUT YOUR BODY USES 40 TO BREAK IT DOWN ...SO YOU LOSE WEIGHT EATING IT ...ON LINE GO TO NEGATIVE CALORIE FOODS..........SOME EXAMPLES BROCCOLI, PINEAPPLE, MANGO,APPLES, BEETS, AND OTHERS.........NEVER STARVE YOURSELF OR DON'T EAT ...YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR METABOLISM HIGH...SO EAT EVERY THREE HOURS......BUT AS i SAY WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK FLUIDS TO FLUSH TOXINS AND WASTE FROM YOUR BODY......YOU WILL LOSE SURPRISINGLY FAST IF YOU DO NEGATIVE CALORIES AFTER LUNCH.......

follow the food pryrimid and have 1200 calories a day in 6 small meals. i am not lying when i say the six smalll meal thing reallly reallly helps!

run for at least 20 minutes and you'll burn fat easier....and eat healthy.

call your doctor before startng any diet

I found that not going to fast food returants alone cuts 10 pounds also consider eating smaller meal ,, 6 daily and snacking on carrots

Cut out meat, hard or yellow cheeses, sugar and alcohol. Eat mainly fruits, veg and whole grains.

Read tips %26 articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga %26 much more....All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

all the above would help. But if you add fresh lemon/lime juice in your drink with NO sugar, (3rd or 4th day, you will see no difference) you will loose weight like crazy on th 9th day.

i was on diet 6 weeks ago and I lost 5 kg by cutting all sweets and fry food and change my exercise from walking to running for at least 20min on tread mill speed 10 5days week.

HELP ME plz!!?

Answer:
1. cardio
2. watching what you eat.
3. sit ups are good for hips
4. be active when ever you can

Watch your calories and just get out their and move. Do an excercise that you like and stick with it. Go and buy some 3 and 5 lb weights and do some strength training.

Get help sweetie. I was looking at your other questions and I have to tell you you have a serious eating disorder. Honey you need to talk to someone about it. If you have a myspace you can message me at myspace.com/currentlydreaming I would love to talk to you. I have been struggling with anorexia for a while now.

i really wanna lose some weight. i am 13 yrs old i am 5'5 and i weigh 175 lbs. i need to lose weight for my schools softball tryouts. i also wanna lose weight so people at school will like me better cause i always get made fun of because I'm fat. so again please give me websites so i can loose weight. i wanna loose like 5-10 lbs a week.
Answer:
take this link first of all you have to work hard to lose some weight
it have everything do you want
this is it : http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/lose...good luck

well first of all sweetie the only way you can lose 5 to 10 lbs a week is if you don't eat at all....(warning: DONT DO THAT!) I recommend going to cosmogirl.com and check out the fitness section...they have diet and excersize plans that are targeted for girls your age, and i believe encouraging stories from other girls who are doing the same thing...Good luck!!btw i think it's under the category "Body and Soul Challenge"

That goal in near impossible and unhealthy. I'm 14 and over weight but I go to the gym 3-5 times a weeks and use the treadmill,the bike and i do some weights! Be careful what you do with weights because of developing boneplates. Also make sure to look at your carb intake and remebr to subtract the dietry fiber from the total carbs! And also watching how much you eat in one meal try eating breakfast and 5 other small meals but nothing past 8pm and you should wake up hungry in the morning.Following theese guidelines in a month i lost 7 pounds. Remeber to ALWAYS drink water and take a bottle with you to the gym!

It is not healthy to lose more than 1-2 lbs a week. Try to include more physical activity in your day - maybe go for a walk after school. Be sure to eat normal meals - do not starve yourself.

Dear Tom Fiend----I feel for you because I have some cousins who all seem to take after their Mom and have serious weight control issues-----they too are being taunted at school-----I know you have been hurt and I am sorry for you---and even though I can't speak from personal knowledge I am a nurse and have learned a few things I like to share with people who have the genes that seem to make weight management quite a challenge. 1st of all I'd like to say 5-10 lbs/week is far too drastic and would make you become sick and cause you to become disenchanted with the whole idea and want to give up-----please don't do this-------if you can lose 2#----3# /week that will be doing good-----real good----and if you will exercise faithfully you will tone up as you lose and thus keep it off and look better sooner-----There will be plenty of people out here who can point you to good diets-----I'll leave that to someone who knows more in that area-----I want to point out to you----that when you exercise it increases your rate of metabolism and helps burn stored fat. you will be replacing fat with muscle mass as you exercise----now bear in mind the weight scale doesnt tell the whole story on how well you are doing------as you exercise you will develop more muscle and muscle weighs more than fat---and even though the scale may show a slow down in weight loss your body will actually look and feel better-----so don't get discouraged----weigh gain doesn't happen rapidly and doesn't come off rapidly either-----buy thats not important-----as you start to slim down you may want to exercise-----more days per week-----more times per day-----more repetitions---etc-----and if you do not over do it all at once and gradually work up little by little you may very well learn to make exercise an important part of you life----if you do that you will have good success and manage to keep the weight off permanently----Good Luck!

I have been fighting with weight on and off again for about the last 2 yrs, I was involved in an ATV accident back in 04' so I was no longer allowed to play sports or keep active and became really depressed in which I gained about 45 lbs which is a lot for me... what i have done is probably the easiest thing ever, I cut back on fast foods and un healthy snacks, I basically combined 3 different diets.In the morning I have some kind of special K breakfast either a serving size of cereal or a Special K granola bar, with some fruit and a glass of milk, and if I鈥檓 really hungry ill have a Dannon Light %26 Fit yogurt (Which is 0% fat, 0 added sugar, and its only 60 calories.For lunch while at work ill have a Lean Cuisine TV dinner with fruit, Water, Yogurt (if I did not have one in the AM) And a special K snack either the snack bites, or a granola bar (once again depending on what I had in the AM)...For dinner I add up the calories I have had for the day and eat basically whatever I feel like eating that does not go over 1200 calories. On a good day ill have about 1000 to 1100 calories a day, but NO MORE then 1200.I do this from Monday thru Saturday...Then on Sunday ( if I feel like it) i have a bad day in which I really truly do not care what I eat
With this I have a gym membership so I work out as much as i can but from the accident and my injuries I鈥檓 only able to do stuff that does not injure my back because i do have 2 herniated disc so I basically just run on the tread or walk at a fast rate for 45 minutes to an HR.. I love the diet because, well I can't cook well and its very easy and I have lost more weight then I think I did well playing basketball all thru-out high school.
So the break down is... Check out Special K foods....
Lean Cuisine dinners...
Lot鈥檚 of water thru out the day鈥?br />Dannon Yogurts... and then just watch your calories....
I hope this helps, and that you enjoy this as much as I did

To successfully lose weight, you must carry out
a plan to balance your caloric intake with exercise.
Ideally, dieting should be done by eating a nutritionally
balanced, low-calorie diet and increasing physical activity.

Ok heres my problem! We just moved and we are kinda poor right now. So we buy 4 sodas for 3 dollars at stop and shop. So all we have had to drink lately is soda! I'm in good shape but My six pack is dissapearing because of the cheap fatty foods! Please helps with good fat burning workouts or Healthy/cheap foods we could buy! Thank You so much for your time and Help! :)
Answer:
The cheapest foods are usually the healthy ones, and the ones that require the most preparation (for example, you get a lot more nourishment and more meals out of $2.00 worth of potatoes than from $2.00 worth of fries). Junk foods are not a filling as healthy foods either, so you will end up eating (and spending) more. So buy the healthy foods, even if you are strapped for cash right now. Buying non-perishable foods in large quantities is also cheaper, especially when they are on sale. If you expect to be a bit poor for quite a while, and if you happen to have a back yard, try planting a vegetable garden this summer. You might not be able to save money right away, but this might allow you to make up for it in August. Buy fresh vegetables, apples, day-old bread (often half price), frozen concentrated juice, and uncooked meat (deli meat is expensive). Sandwiches are cheap and nutritious, especially if you make them from leftover homecooked chicken. You didn't say where you are living. If you are in a town or small city, there may be farmers on the outskirts willing to sell things like eggs (this is how we get our eggs, for $1.50 per dozen). And buy the no name brands of foods whenever you can.

Don't drink soda. Drink water! Do sit ups.

read tips on healthier eating on this site to give you ideas

can't you drink water?

do crunches and situps and drink alot of water instead of soda

^_^ I know what its like to live off soda and chips, so here are some tips. Try lifting heavier objects in your house, and jogging helps, too. Eat some grainy cereals bars + stuff like that- and a lot of fruit too. Hope this helps!

dont drink soda, and if you buy fatty food that contains bread dont eat the bread its been said that man lose weight if they stop eating bread

MAYBE U SHOULD TRY BUYING WATER IN STEAD OF POP!!!!! IF U WAS TO GO TO ALDI'S, JEWELS, DOMINICKS, SAVE A LOT, FOOD 4 LESS, ETC. IM SURE U COULD FIND CASES OF WATER FOR ABOUT 3 DOLLARS AND AS FAR AS FOOD GOES CHECK YOUR LOCAL GROCERY STORE AND MAYBE U CAN PICK UP A LOAF OF BREAD AND SOME LUCH MEAT FOR REALLY CHEAP IF U WERE TO GO TO A GROCERY STORE AND BUY A LOAF OF BREAD SUM LUNCH MEAT AND WATER AND MAYBE SOME CHIPS TO GO ALONG WITH IT IT WOULDNT COST U MORE THAN MAYBE 6 OR 7 DOLLARS AND MAYBE EVEN LESS!!!!!!! BUT JUST MAKE SURE U CONSTANTLY EXCERCISE!!!!!

sit ups wont work it wont burn fat it will only bulk your abs, drik water, and sprint. SPrints burn more fat that anything, i weighed 191 lbs at first day of football practice i now weigh 169 lbs because i have been doing HIT - High Intensity training, which includes sprints, sprints uphill, Tempo Runs, Fartlek, Intervals. Tempo is your normal jog but faster.
Fartlek is were you run and you pick out an object say a mail box sprint to it then start joggin pick another object sprint to it..etc..
Intervals - say you sprint 25 yards then you walk or jog 25. Hope this helps. :)

Well, for starters just drink water. Sure it doesn't taste as good, but you'll have more energy and keep your body flushed out and hydrated better. Buy a bottle of water, keep it and refill it when you are done.
What you eat doesn't impact you as much as how much of what kind of food you eat. Once you are satisfied, stop eating! Gorging yourself will only stretch your stomach and make you want to eat more the next time (this takes some time, but that is essentially what happens).
Pork is a good meat because it satisfies you (makes you think you are full) better than red meat. Chicken can be bought cheaply and is good as long as you know the basics of cooking. Buy your meat and fresh veggies/fruit at a name brand store or butcher shop, but your "stock" items can be bought safely at a discount grocery store (milk, potatoes, bread, peanut butter, canned veggies, cereal, etc).
Obviously you have internet access, look for easy healthy food/meals. Might take a little time to adjust but once you get used to making cuts, it will get easier.

Don't waste your money on soda. Drink water from the tap. If you dont have water in your new home I'm sure somebody nearby does- you fill up water containers there. Also dont buy food at the conveinance store go to an actual grocery store. You'll get cheaper food. You can buy things to make sandwiches. It's a cheap way to eat that is pretty healthy. Your not getting in proteins or much nutrition from eating junk at the conveinance store and that's probably why your losing muscle mass.

what kind of snacks should a fourteen year old girl buy to loose some extra weight for the summer? are these ok or should i try something else:salads (with low fat ranch)
life cereal
propel, vitamin water, juicy juice, welchs grape juice
yogurt
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY IS VITAMIN WATER SO GOOD FOR YOU? I KNOW IT SOUNDS DUMB SINCE ITS *VITAMIN* WATER BUT WHATS SO SPECIAL?
Answer:
those snacks are perfect. im not sure about the vitamin water though

sounds ok.Water with something added probably.

those sound fine. Cottage cheese and turkey wraps are good for you too. Regular water has nothing in it. Vitamin water has the protiens you need.

well if she is considering loosing weight. Maybe she should start by losing the snacks.

You should try vinaigrette dressing, which is tastier and much lower-fat and calorie than ranch in any form. Juice is a bad choice. That's just as bad as soda, really, because of all the sugar. If you want something with some flavor, try tea, especially green tea. Yogurt, while good for providing calcium, is high-calorie and non-filling. Salads are good. Pretty much any vegetable. Fruits are good as well. One banana is pretty filling and provides plenty of potassium. Vitamin water is only hyped up because it's got vitamins in it. If you're getting enough day-to-day, you don't really need it.

drink plenty of plain water too
and be careful fruit juice has alot of calories
fresh fruit,vegatables,kashi go lean cereal,
cottage cheese.

Vitamins are good for you...but any more than your body acta=ually needs simply gets flushed out!Check out these healthy snack ideas at that link!
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-bcjcpyyyc...The first four articles you should read over. One tells you how to eat healthy school, the next how to pack a healthy lunch, the third is about eating breakfast and healthy snacks that count throught out the day and fourth is about great sandwich, wrap and salad ideas!!!

Umm okkk Soooo you need to eat 5 TIMES a dayy to boost up your metabolism. What if your not hungry and through out the day you only eat like 3 times a day but small mealss, and subsitute the other two with drinking alot of water??? DOES WATER HELP YOU BOOST YOUR METABOLISM OR DOESSS IT HAVEEE TO BE FOOD?????????????
Answer:
Water does not do anything to your metabolism because your body doesn't need to do anything to it but use it. If your not hungry then don't eat, and instead of eating 3 meals try substituting breakfast or lunch for a snack, and eat two more snacks, like a cereal bar or yogurt.

Sensible people eat only when thay are hungry.

Recently i lost about 10 kg (22 lbs) and i cant seem to lose anymore. im doing exactly what i sis before to lose weight but i just flactuate between 64 - 62kg. I've started walking / running around my neighbour hood but i dont like doing it when people can see me.
i enjoy running / wlaking and i would like to do it more, but i dont see any inmprove,ment in my weight, so i have no modivation to exercise. HELP! WHY CANT I LOSE WEIGHT!
Answer:
Slow down. It sounds like it's time to re-evaluate your goals. Losing 10kg is a big deal, congratulations. The first thing you need to do is think about getting in some weight training. Continue with the cardio - by no means should you let your neighbor's wandering eyes interfere with your taking charge of your own health. Then you need to start keeping a food diary %26 find out some trigger points you could work on. Are you drinking enough water? Making the nutritional most of your snacks? Think about where you want to go with this program and what you can change to get you there. Good luck!

maybe you should wait a while before trying to lose any more weight. at least a month to see any results, dont push it.

HELP YOURSLEF

hey u are pushing urself too much! u have lost too much weight mate. i can't do that-walking around the neighborhood for so long.

FIRSTLY CHECK WHAT YOR IDEA WEIGHT IS FOR YOUR HIGHT, LOOK FOR BMI IN GOOGLE AND YOU PUT YOUR DETAILS IN!!
ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD BE BETWEEN THEN YOU CAN EXERCISE, AND A HEALTHY DIET, ITS ALSO WILL POWER!! GOOD LUCK!

cut down on what you eat and try doing situps and push ups. i've been doing it for sometime now and i've lost nearly 5kg.

whether its gaining or losing weight it does not happen in weeks..early losing of weight can be there , as you tend to reduce your fat around your tummy a bit.
just continue what you are doing , walking is the best excercise of all.join swimming class. play outdoor games.
all these things work well when you do it daily. don't always do things just because you are going to lose weight.
enjoy what you are doing. or find something that you will enjoy.i think you will do well.All the best

sounds like u've reached a plateau. u're not gonna lose much more because u're doing the same thing u did to lose the first 10kg. now u've got to add something else. try lifting small weights, either free weights, or adding walking weights while u walk/run. u should also consider a treadmill if u don't like people to see u. i personally enjoy doing workout videos. u could do this in the privacy of your own home in addition to your walking.

yeast cleanse+ the fat flush diet.

I suggest that you try body cleansing. I tried it and really got lean quickly. I lost 15 pounds in 9 days and also 3 inches off my waist. I do body sculpting so getting leaner was my goal. My sister did this program too and she lost a lot of weight quickly. I did not know too much about cleansing but there are a lot of TV commercials about this stuff. This is a body cleanse and not just a colon cleanse, I wanted my body to get lean quickly and this did the trick! You can get info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or online at http://diet4cleansing.com

exercise everyday like jogging around the block
skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
dont eat until your're full
eat fruits at night if your hungry.
drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.
I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.

Ephedra diet pills are scientifically proven to melt fat and raise metabolism without diet or exercise. I would recommend the Black Ice ephedra even though they have more of a selection with free shipping:http://www.thatswholesale.com

jogging on an empty stomach. Like when you get up in the morning before you eat. Do situps at this time also. You will be burning just fat

Why don't you try herbal supplement. Most effective and they don't have any after effect.http://www.superdiscountshop.com/bodybui...http://www.herbs-wholesale.com/hoodiagor...http://www.herbs-wholesale.com/applecide...http://www.herbs-wholesale.com/citrimaxp...

try this fun diet get two table spoons of pancake syurp and lime jucie and 8 oz of water put it all together and shake it up and you get a sweet loveable drink for lossing wieght you can use instead of lunch. Its Beyonce's diet

First realize that your muscles are underthere, and you must get rid of the excess fat that is covering them to reveal them by buring the fat off. you should first do a total body cleanse (health food store, get good advice on when where,,, like weekends) and then put only essential foods and vitamins and supplements into your body and walk daily for a min of 45 minutes, then take super blue green algae, it does so many wonderful things like give your body everything it needs to survive nicely and take natural raw guarana for energy and reduced appetitie, drink only distilled water and prepare to get addicted to it. it is so much better room temperature, I dont like anything else now. Consider a candida quick cleanse, then a metal/toxin cleanse and eat raw foods like carrots, almonds, sliced squash and fruits. Take Cascara Sagrada to move things on through faster at night, Senna for that full feeling but be sure not to starve yourself by taking the super blue green algae. Walk and sleep you will be amazed and will look and feel better than you ever have! I have been doing all of this on advise of a thin friend and I have already lost 29 pounds in just a few weeks, I feel better sleep better and look better I can hardly wait to go get a swimsuit in a few more weeks, I still have a bunch to get out of me and off of my hips and tummy.... I just didnt believe that the companies would really put junk in food just to make more money so I never beleived this health food stuff but now I do, you will be thrilled, like I am and many others are. Oh, I forgot to tell you the first few days are a bit rough, while all of the toxins are coming out of your body you will be in the rest room alot, may feel like you have a headache or tummy ache or just not very good, that is totally normal, drink more distilled water to wash it all out. The reason most people gain fat is the body doesnt know what to do with the toxins so it wraps it in fat and stores it, so while it is coming out, it is in your blood stream and makes you feel crappy no pun intended...

Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you're full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.
I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.
there's a video on success fitness too.

Help loosing weight?

2009-10-13T22:16:00.000-07:00

I'm female
I would like to loose about 40 pounds. does anyone have a weekly plan as far as what food to eat each day? and what exercises to do?
how long will it take to loose 40 pounds? should i take diet pills along with eating right and exercising? any other advice/ what to do
Answer:
OK....specific diets are different. Spend a little time to educate yourself about nutrition. just try to eliminate most of the fats and processed sugar from your diet...try cooking more of the food you eat. Diet pills are a scam...forget them. Walking is the best exercise to start with. It is easy to do and does not require any special equipment. Start with 20 to 30 minutes at a time, 4 days a week. Go just a little faster than normal at first, and gradually increase your speed. Work up until you can walk two minutes and run two minutes. Drink plenty of water during the day...it has no calories and helps the body burn fat. The best advice is to be patience..give yourself time to lose the weight properly. You did not gain this weight in a month and you will not lose it in a month. Be diligent with the plan of diet and exercise and give it about 6 months to reach your goal...You are not just talking about losing weight, but changing your lifestyle. Good luck

You may eat as much meat,cheese, and eggs as you want and you will loose weight. Its called the Atkins diet. Its suppose to be the healthy way to loose pounds. You should still exercises.I suggest motorized walkers and stair steppers.Do not use any drugs of any kind. you will defiantly loose 40 in 6 months. Wouldn't stay on it for more than a year. Drink lots water,no carbs especially potato's. good luck!

1) Stay away from a lot of sugar and sodium.
2)Eat mainly fresh fruits and veggies. Plus limited lean meats (tuna, turkey, chicken).
3)Before eating a meal, eat your salad first.
4)Eat slowly, it takes our bodies around 30 minutes to know that its full
5)Drink 8 glasses of water each day.Jump rope it burns 90 calories every five minutes.-Junk food is my weakness, I just don't buy it so that I am not tempted. Its ok to have small portions of -not so healthy- foods occasionally.
----
If you do everything right. It will take about 3 months

Mix a spoon of honey in a hot water and drink it daily morning in empty stomach. I am sure this will really work out. You can do yoga and exercises in order to reduce your weight. You avoid eating oily foods and take wheat products instead of taking rice and its products. Avoid taking ghee, buttor, nuts and almonds. This will also help you to reduce your weight.

Try a cleansing diet! I did and lost 11 pounds and 21 inches in only 9 days. I was very happy with the results and continued on the program and lost 29 pounds in 5 weeks. This is the fastest I have ever lost with other diets like Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slimfast etc鈥? Cleansing works by removing impurities from your body. You get impurities from your food (pesticides, preservatives, food additives, colorings) water, chemicals, pollution, medications, alcohol, hormones that the animals you eat were fed etc鈥?YUCK! The impurites get coated with fat and remain in your body. To remove the fat, you have to remove the impurites. This system worked for me, maybe it can work for you too. You can check out the website or call this toll free number 1-877-587-4647 for more info. The program is not cheap, but it is worth every penny since it works and keeps you motivated. Good luck!

Help in losing muscle!?

2009-10-13T22:15:00.003-07:00

ok my muslce on my thighs are big because i used to play soccer. well now i just want my skinny legs back with not so much muscle. and i have no idea how to get rid of muscle...HELP PLEASE!
Answer:
to lose that type of muscle you want to weight train (light weight, high reps) your total body 3-4 times per week and do cardio 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes... eat normally and try to keep veggies and fruits high and fatty foods low... try to eat low glycemic index carbs and eat 5-6 times a day.... do this and your legs will slowly transform themselves into slender little legs that you want..
whatever you do, dont stop eating bc your body will keep the fat and lose the muscle (esp if you stop eating and not workout!) and will look 10X worse than now!
email me at daseib@yahoo.com for more info if you need it... my cousin is a soccer player and she hates her muscular legs too!! she plays in the big ten with tough girls with big legs

I personally think ithis is a very good question. We always see "how can I get more muscle?" but there are those of us that have too much in spots from sports and want to reduce it w/o it turning to fat!

try pilates, it lengthans muscles instead of bulking them up, to keep you inshape with out looking like a body builder.

Short answer: Restrict your calories and exercise only your upper body.Long answer:Muscles become smaller because of 1) atrophy and 2) when your body breaks down both muscle and fat because of dietary calorie restriction. You can't exercise a muscle to reduce it, but if you don't use it it will eventually grow smaller. Additionally, when you diet (i.e., you take in fewer calories than are required to maintain your current weight), your metabolism breaks down body mass to make up the deficit. Although adipose tissue (fat) is the primary storage mechanism, when you diet you lose both fat and muscle tissue.So the most effective way to reduce your muscle mass would be to diet and NOT exercise. However, since you want to reduce only your lower body size, it would be better to continue to exercise your upper body with activities such as rowing, swimming, or weight training, in order to keep your proportions and keep healthy.I have also heard people say that distance running will reduce the size of your leg muscles. I suspect that may be more anecdotal than anything, since there really isn't much exercise physiology to support it, but if you look at distance runners they are skinny, so maybe it works.Last thing: you could also try doing Pilates. Like I said, no exercise can reduce muscle size, but Pilates is known to give you a more long, toned look.

HELP i have a weird, thick body!?

2009-10-13T22:15:00.002-07:00

my measureents are 33B-25-37! So i got thick thighs and a big booty but i am 5'2" so it looks kind of weird! wht measurements should i be?? and is there anything I can do to lose some weight just orm my thighs? )i wouldnt mind midsction too, but i like my butt haha) the problem is i am afraid that i i just diet my boobs will get even smaller... what do i do?
Answer:
I feel your pain. I'm 36, 30, 41. I recently lost 20 lbs and from that...3" came off each thigh. HOWEVER...my boobs have reduced as well. I really don't have any great advice other than this: I think we'll always have our pear shape. In a way it's a good thing because we're at less risk for heart disease. Just realize that your measurements are small, you're probably a size 5? So having a pear shape at size 5 is a LOT more attractive than having a pear at size 16. So be proud of yourself and learn to love what you have! You could always try doing something like Leslie Sansone's Walk away the pounds. It would still produce an allover weightloss with possibly a more toned, muscular look to your legs and arms. Hope that helps!

Even if your boobs got smaller, the rest of your body would be smaller and it would even out... your boobs will fit your body, don't worry

What are you worried about, that sounds perfect! I'd love to be your size (I'm 35-27-38.5) You can't change your natural shape, and you can't spot reduce. I'd stay as you are, you are slim enough and if you lose any more weight, you will end up being too thin on top. And if like me, you have naturally wide hip bones, they will start to stick out which is not a good look.Take care : )

Help Help Help to lose weight!! please i HAVE TO soon!?

2009-10-13T22:15:00.001-07:00

Ok please help me. I weight like 140. I wanna be thin and sexy for my dream bikini i saw in a store. I also go to this outdoor pool soon in like june so i have little time! i'm so worried cuz i wanna fit in all stuff and look really great and stand out. I really have to lose weight but idk how i can stop eating! when i see somethin i just gotta eat it and i dont know how to prevent that. Anyone has any good tips like wat types of exercise i should do and what should i eat and how much i should eat detailed? i really dont know if i'm eating the right amount, so how much do u think i should eat? wat kinds of foods should i eat? how much should i exercise? wat kinds of exercise? i got about 3 months till this special place with a pool. Helppppppp!
Answer:
First of all, you have to really really really want to lose weight, not just say you want to, otherwise you just wont. If you see food and it just makes you want to eat it- Have some self control girl for gods sake. what are you doing to yourself, you cant just eat everything you see, just think at the time of seeing the food of just how skinny you want to be and just exactly where that piece of chocolate or whatever is going to go- straight on the parts you really dont want it to. so when you see that tempting food- just get out of there. also you should never go food shopping hungrey- eat a piece of fruit- and drink a big glass of water before you go. As for foods to eat and not to eat. minimise carbs after breakfast, have muslie with orange juice and a piece of toast for breaky- no more bread at all for the rest of the day. for morning tea you should have a low fat yoghurt and a piece of fruit- either orange or apple, they have less carbs (By the way, carbs stack on the kilos if your not excerising) lunch should be a salad with tuna or chicken, whatever you prefer, try not to have bread...afternoon tea should be another piece of fruit and dinner should be protein, so fish, chicken, small piece of red meat and loads of green veges. stay clear of pototo and pumpkin for a while. if you have to have it, only a small amount. With excerise., you should be aiming to do this 4 times a week for about 1 hour each time. combine weights with cardio and you want to tone up as you are losing weight. i suggest you join a gym and get a personal trainer, this is what i do and it is well worth the money cause they will be able to tell you exactly what to do to lose the weight!!! if you dont want to go to a gym, walking is very good, but make it a fast pace, or you could try intervals, run for 30 secs and fast pace walking for 1 minute, keep doing this untill you are absolutley buggered, try to increase the time everytime you do it. toning excerises like lunges and squats are very very good- a must if you want great toned legs and butt!!! Oh and last of all, drink plenty of water, try for 2 litres a day- no soft drinks, coffee or alcohol, if you smoke- DONT. hope this help a bit- i could write more so if you have any more questions, just let me know

Read tips %26 articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga %26 much more....All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

i use to have the same problem with eating if i see something i like but i got over that all i can say is try and eat around 5-6 small (200 cal.each) meals a day or something around there you can eat fruits,low fat cottage cheese,yogart,vegitables and so on ...for exercise you can take pilates or yoga or yoga booty ballet and try and exercise at least 3 times a week

HELP HELP HELP AND FAST! how to get a "flat" stomach?

2009-10-13T22:15:00.000-07:00

i need a "extream fast way" to get a flat stomach before may, i need it FAST! how do i do that? i dont care what it takes !!! please explain what i should do!!??
Answer:
doing crunches and ab exercises will not help you achieve your "flat stomach." it will help you get nice abs once your stomach is flat though. to get a "flat stomach" you'll have to do a combination of cardio, like walking, jogging, swimming, etc. i suggest around 30 minutes for around 3 days a week at least . then you might want to do some ab exercises like crunches as well to make your stomach look nice after its "flat."

My AB Workout consists of 3 basic exercises. These exercises work on the 3 abdominal groups, worked out in the correct order to get maximum results.1. Leg raises (Rectus Abdominis)
2. Side Crunches ( External/Internal Obliques)
3. Straight Crunches (Transverse Abdominis)Here is how it works. You want to get up to where you are doing 3 sets of 25 reps for each exercise. But start with one set of 15, then 20, then 25. Then start with 2 sets of each, then finally 3 sets. Only allowing a 30 to 45 second break between sets.1. Lie flat on a mat, with your hands placed at your lower back, close to your butt. Now with your legs bent slightly, and toes pointed away from your body, with legs together, lift your legs up 6 inches off the ground. Each rep consists of lifting your legs from 6 inches to 12 inches. You cannot put your legs on the ground till the set is done. Go between 6 inches, to 12 inches, and back. Each time you reach the 6 inch mark, count one rep. Each movement should be one second. One second up, one second down. 2. Lie with your back flat on the mat, your legs should be bent so that your feet are flat on the mat, about shoulder width apart. Your hands should not be behind your head, but place them under your opposite armpits, or chest. Now you curl up, not lifting your lower back off the mat, (these are crunches, not situps) Your rep consists of curling your right elbow towards your left knee, and then the other side. You do not touch your knee. One second up, one second, down. One second other side, one second down. A rep consists of both sides being done. So your rep is done when you have moved up, and down, on each side. (This one you will notice right away)3. Lie the same way as in number 2 above, with the hands in the same position. Now this one you just curl straight up, hold for a second, then back down. Do not jerk yourself up, Curl yourself up. Each rep consists of one up, and one down. Each time you are on the mat with your back, counts as one rep.NOTE: You can do abs every day. But I find if I rest one day a week, I reward myself for sticking with it. GOOD LUCK, and enjoy your SIX PACK.

sit up's!! i recomend leslie sansone.........her workout videos changed my life! her flatten youre belly one is great!!!!!!

if you hold your breaths your tummy can go flat. but when i do that i sometimes am feeling faint %26 like i will fall down. my dad wears my mums girdle all the time except when he's in the bath coz then he takes it off %26 puts it on again afterwards. hope that helps you. good luck coz i would hate a fat tummy.

lots %26 lots of heavey duty situps I think.

Site below has fastest way to flatten tummy. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic load. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin and healthy. Salt has no calories but makes you fat and burning more calories does not help this fatness.Find out about fastest way to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad fats, water retention and secret trick used by models to flatten their tummy before an event. Reading a book will take you hours but the information on a post, taking minutes to read, is not enough. The webpage below has just enough to know what you need to know. Links page has gov. BMI calculator to find out just how much overweight you are (teens plug in your age to compare to others your age).You can force your body to lose weight with not enough calories, but if you continue it, you will starve to death. With an abundance of healthy foods, you lose weight just as fast, but only until you reach your ideal weight. You can continue eating this way the rest of your life and always be at your ideal weight.http://www.phifoundation.org

I read that for a flat stomach you need to make sure you're getting enough sleep, something to do with not enough sleep means you're hungrier the next day. Also make sure youre eating rellay healthily, and do a load (not too much) of sit ups each day along with other exercise. Just dont overdo it and dont starve yourself. Sit ups really work your stomach, ive found they helped me. Also try holding it, so when youre halfway through a sit up, just hold it for as long as you can. If you dont normally exercise dont go rushing into loads of exercise straight away though. :)

start jogging 1 mile a day for about a week, then run about 2 miles a day and do 4 sets of 25 situps in the morning as well at night. don't do too much situps because your stomach won't flatten it will just bulge out because the muscle is being over worked.

Help FattY!!!????

2009-10-13T22:14:00.002-07:00

I'm 14 and i weigh 114 and I'm only 5'1! how can i loose weight? any tips or websites would be greatly apprieciated. I get called fat a lot and i believe im the fattest of all of my friends. Even though most of the time its not even my friends who call me fat!
Thank You
Answer:
You are not fat
you are not overweight.
YOU DO HAVE A DISTORTED IMAGE OF YOUR BODY.
I feel sad for you. Talk to your mom, pediatrician and ask to see a therapist.
I hope you get better and start to see yourself as you really are.by checking your profile, I see you have asked this SAME question many, many times. I think you have a serious problem. You need to focus on something besides your weight.
Do volunteer work, read a book, learn piano.
You are not overweight and if you think you are then you may have a very very serious eating disorder.
Go talk to an adult today!

Tell your parents you want to get healthy. Don't eat fried foods, if you find yourself at a fast food joint get a salad and fat free dressing. No more soda or juices, drink water and sugarless tea. no more desserts or candy or icecream. Eat special K for breakfast not pancakes and sausage.
good luck!

Honestly, you are not fat. Just stop worrying and take yourself to the mall for morale.

Be informed and prepared. Do some research. Make a plan. Stick to the plan. This site will help.http://teenadvice.about.com/cs/bodyimage... Best of luck to you.

To prevent from becoming obese (like the rest of the American public), please control your weight and keep excersizing. However, if you feel like you need to lose weight and diet, I hope this helps:First and Best Way: Excersize!!!!!!!!!!! You need to excersize atleast 1 hour a day and I would say Running/Jogging is the best way to go about it. But personally, I hate that so I do jumping jacks, skip rope, rollerskate, and run up-and-down my stairs. Any type of rigorous, systematic movement can be considered excersizeSecond Way: Reduce your intake of highly saturated fats! Stop eating those artery-clogging french fries, chicken wings, etc. It's okay to eat them once a week but don't pig out on them. If you normally order a Large Fries, then order Medium one next time. Third Way: Reduce your intake of Meat Products. That way, you save animals and help benefit your health. It's true that meat has protein and iron, but you can get iron supplements and protein from vegeterian food. I'm not saying you should have a vegeterian diet from now on (even tho I am a vegeterian); I'm just saying you should reduce your intake of meat. So if you eat meat everyday, cut it down to three days a week. Fourth Way: Eat your fruits and vegetables. I eat three fruits and three vegetables everyday and I think that has worked for me pretty well (I'm 100 pounds ..n no I'm not anoerexic (did I spell that right?)) Anyways, urge your parents to buy more fruit and veggies and include them in your dinner. Even if you don't want to eat as many fruits and veggies as I do, you should atleast have two fruits and two veggies in your diet EACH day. There is good vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, water, and other stuff in there that helps you lose weight.Fifth Way: Water is a natural appetite suppressant, so developing a good water drinking habit can be a long-term aid in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Doctor F. Batmanghelidj MD, author of "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" says most times your “hunger” is your body asking for water – not food. It's also important to remember that when the body is dehydrated, fat cells get "rubbery" and cannot be easily metabolized. This means that it's harder to lose when you don't drink your water.Sixth Way: Drink lukewarm water with two table spoons of honey dailySeventh Way: One-Two table spoons of vinegarAnyways, those were a few options that you can try simultaneously (which is what I recommend) or one-by-one. You take care of urself and good luck with that!

Help am 5'4 in a half feet tall and weigh 180 lb?

2009-10-13T22:14:00.001-07:00

help am 5'4 in a half feet tall and weigh 180 lb and am 12 years old please don't say nothing bout my parents it's my felt. i do alot of things like i play volleyball i was on the volleyball team i jump rope but i still am big and gaining weight. But mostly its my belly thats big yes my hips, thighs and legs are big but my belly is huge and i want to try to lose my belly fat and i do alot of sit ups. My mama says because i don't have good eatting habitats so i like hope any of you can try and give me adive on how to lose some kind of weight before the summer because i might be going to florida and i want to be in a suit so please some body help me
Answer:
BE HYPER ACTIVE!!!!
DO MORE THAN VOLLY BALL!
RUN !
JUMP !
FEEL ALIVE!

take in less calories than you burn 2 weeks and you will lose atleast 10lbs.

Leave fried foods alone, and sweets. Those will trip you up. Eat modest portions (don't starve yourself) but have some control... know when enough is enough. Do some cardiovascular exercise (running for instance) I'm not anyone certified but those are just somethings that i know of. Maybe you could get your parents to get a trainer.

Your doctor is your best resource. He knows what your medical history is, and can help you with a diet and exercise plan. You should also see a registered dietician and join another sport or dance at school. Don't expect miracles or to be tiny by the summer. The most important thing is to get you healthy and fit. There's no reason why you can't go to Florida, wear a bathing suit, and have fun. Good luck.

dude, you are going through a phaze, you will even out, all pre-teen girls go through "the awkward stage" mine sucked but now I'm fine with my body, you will too, don't worry, besides your 12, you don't need to be impressing anyone, have fun in Florida, that's what yr there for...

Listen to Momma she is telling it corectly. Eat lots of frsh fruits and veggies and if you drink sodas stop. The fastest way is to cut portions and drink 8 glasses of water a day.

You have to clean up your diet. That means no fried chicken, pizza or burgers. The most important thing you can do with an increase diet is running. After about 10 min of running do 10 pushups and 10 situps. then run again. This is a ultimate fat buring workout.

I agree with your mama...Try to cut out junk food such as fries, chips candy and soda. Portion control is essential, dont over eat and drink plenty of water. If you make these types of changes then you are sure to lose some of the weight.

The best thing to do is to see a Dietitian, and they'll help you find the best way to lose weight.1)Start eating healthy
2)Eat less calories, if you eat 2,000 calories currently...then start cutting down to 1500 calories
3) start drinking only water....it controls your hunger and helps you lose weight
4) start exercising daily, even if its just walking.
5) stop eating after 7

Do not eat food with trans fats. Trans fats make your body store fat and transfers it to your belly area. Stay away from white foods. Such as rice, pasta, flour, starches. Eat LOTS of fiber and raw veggies. Try to get cardio exercise in. At your age, you should be out riding your bike, skating, playing dodge ball, hop scotch, jump rope. There are so many things you can do. Stay away from sugar. Even though it is fat free, your body turns it into fat during the digestion process. Eat your meals on small plates. Drink plenty of water. 1/2 ounce for every pound you weigh each day. And do not confuse thirst for hunger. Don't watch t.v. or play video games. Instead, stay busy outdoors. When you start to reach for a snack, ask your self if you are really hungry or just bored. Brush your teeth often. Nobody likes to eat with minty breath... Keep up the good attitude and set your mind to it. You'll be fine.

you're a bit overwight but that's alright theres always time to lose weight. since your already active you should now try eating healthier- cut down on snacks like chips, candies, cookies and cakes- try fruit and veggies. good luck =)

exercise 4-5 days a week, for 30-60 minutes each time. don't focus on weight lifting so much. focus on walking/running. also, try to eat smaller meals that will keep you full. whole grains will help you feel full so you don't eat so much the next meal. remember that sit ups alone won't help lose that fat. keep moving and say no to junk/fried food.

Hmm well; for one, try and eat VERY slowly. That way, your stomach has time to tell your brain if its full. Next, try and eat four small meals a day. This way, your body constantly has fuel to keep it going. When you eat, try to eat foods that are high in protein, and low in fat and calories, such as eggs, nuts, meats, and fruit. Keep away from foods like fries, onion rings, fried chicken, candies, chips, chocolates, and anything deep-fried. Try to get active for at least an hour a day. Roller skate, jump rope, take a walk, or dance around your room. Just have fun with it!

try adding more running, biking, or swimming. The cardio work out will help burn fat. Also, try the 20 minute rule. At any meal, eat only whats on your plate and then if you want more, leave the table for 20 minutes. If your still hungry have a little more. Most of the time, that gives your brain and stomach to catch up with each other. Dont completely cut out your favorites, that sets you up for failure. Limit them though. Example, only have a burger once a week. You are young, so your body is still changing so somethings may not work for you right now. If you are really concerned, go to a doctor and he/she could help you figure out a good plan. good luck

Talk to your doctor. He/she can help you by recommending a diet(if you need one)and refer you to a nutritionist(who will have a good idea what your body needs to be healthy). Good time to start is now. You are still growing so this is time to take charge of your body and the doctor can help you. You may have to change your eating habits, though.

Help a 16 YEAR OLD lose weight plz?

2009-10-13T22:14:00.000-07:00

Hi, i'm 16 years old and startin to care about l0o0ks now. I'm overweight, i know i can lose it but im really lazy. Well, I rather just chill at home then go to the GYM durr but i know if i want to get losin weight i better get my az off the couch! well, i need motivation like when i think of the gym i think of pain, suffer, etc i hate it and i get too tired easily. What should i do. plz suggestion
Answer:
The gym isn't the only option - if you like playing a sport, or would like to, then get into it! Team sports can be great for motivation and they can be lots of fun too. You can go for walks and take someone along to chat to, or take simple classes like yoga - lots of gyms also do fun classes.

I have lost 35 lbs in the past 4 months - here is what I do:Breakfast - Bowl of Special K (I vary the varities) with a bananna or 1 cup of berries.Lunch - Lean CusieneAfternoon snack - 1 100 calorie snack packDinner - small portion of chicken breast ( usually about 1/2 of those huge ckn breasts with 2 cups of steamed veggies or a large salad 3 cups or so with salad spritzer dressing.Need a snack at night? Keep it light - 100-200 caloriesI exercise by doing cardio at least 3 times a week for at least 25 minutes at a time. At least twice I week I lift some weights.I KNOW - it sucks BUT if you really want to lose weight you will do it.Good Luck!

if you look up the lemonade diet. it works extremely well!!!! i lost 2lb a day. no lie. the only hard part is you don't eat. you drink a mixture of lemonade, cayenne perpper, maple syrup, and water. it is also healthy so look it up. i lost 22 lb but gained back 6. i lost 16lb in 3wk healthy. no lie

If you don't mind doing some exercise but don't want to sweat, try doing Pilates or Yoga.... I picked up MTV Pilates a while ago at Walmart along with an exercise mat and at first it was hard (cause it's a lot of core muscle work AKA: Abs) but after a while it was easier and even fun. I noticed a change in just about my entire body... You don't have to join a gym to get the benefits of exercise... as I mentioned, you can do Pilates in the privacy of your own room if you want to be alone to work out... try adding in crunches/situps, leg raises...by ankle weights and walk with them on...
Eat healthy, drink lots of water and walk as that will help.
Cut out a lot of the snack foods that everybody loves...you know, the chocolate, chips, greasy foods... they're okay once in a while, but if you want to snack while watching tv, get some fruit or veggies.Good luck =)

First of all you have a misconception....motivation does not come before the action. You have to do the action THEN motivation follows. You do not have to go to a gym and "suffer" in order to get fit. Jump rope for 15-20 minutes a day....or...Walk for 1/2 an hour a day at a brisk pace...take a girl friend along for company. Don't eat late at night. Drink lots of water.That's it. See how easy that is? You can do it!

Find out from your doctor what clothing size is healthy for your height and buy a pair of pants or a shirt that is the healthy size - that will motivate you to exercise and it will show you your progress. Make sure that you would actually wear what you buy so that you can be excited about it :^) Good luck!

I was watching Rachel Ray's talk show about a month ago and there was a lady on there that was loosing weight.. Her motivation was that her friends and family bought the pounds she lost. It sounds weird now but let me explain.Ok so you go to your mom and say hey mom will you buy a pound from me? She says what? You say yeah mom I want to loose a pound and want to know if you will buy if from me. You explain that you need support and motivation. If she could buy one pound then you would have a reason to loose.
It doesn't have to be money really it could be that she will do your dishes on the next night it's your turn or she could say she will buy you a new shirt when you loose the pound.
You go to all your friends and family you can even go to your friends parents for support.
You pre-sale all your pounds out and write down what pound the person is buying. When you get down to their number that is when they pay you.That lady on the show said that some of her bought pounds gets her a day out, a clean kitchen, a hair cut, some are teaching her how to cook low fat meals, go walk with her to loose the pound they bought. all kinds of things....
this was just something to motivate you.. besides that you need to eat more meals a day... small meals but at least 6 and drink lots of water.
stay away from the saturated fats and junk food, no regular sodas, or sugary juices...

Help 16 year old lose weight plz Water diet??

2009-10-13T22:13:00.003-07:00

Hi, i just started my diet today. I'm starting to eat less cuting out junk, sweets, etc. I'm eating small meals to maximize my calorie lost each day. I get very hungry when i eat and usauully meals dont fill me up. So i've been drinking LOTS of water now. Like today I ate small piece of boiled chicken breast with steamed veggies like small small meal. Then I drank about 4 cups of water is this healthy?? My brother told me that this one lady on news drank lots of water like gallon then collapsed and died. How come?? Just from drinking water?? Should I continue doing this.
Answer:
To lose weight successfully,you should know the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!The weight loss site listed below will teach you to lose weight by eating Chicken,Fish Filet,Cottage Cheese,sandwich..

you need to count your calories and exercise as well
you can do walking like for 30 minutes and that would be considered exercise, but you NEED to in order to keep the weight off
so far your diet is good and healthy, but count the calories in it and stay at 1200 each day

Drinking water can't hurt you. NO, it helps you.
We all need water, 8-10 glasses a day, more if you live in the south west. Water feeds our bodys.. we need water. Most of the human body is made of water...As for food, you need to talk to a specialist about what to eat and when. Just cutting back isn't enough, you need to understand and learn about food and how it effects your body.Any chance you can join a local group of Weight Watchers? They teach you about food and how it works in the body.Good luck.
You matter.
You are important.

That lady drank an unbelievable amount of water and then tried to hold off going to relieve herself. It sounds like you're losing weight in a healthy way.Doctors recommend 8 8-oz servings of water a day.If you're still hungry with meals, you may want to incorporate a healthy carb, like some whole-grain bread or crackers. That can sometimes fill you up a little better than some chicken breast and steamed veggies, and it is healthy for you. At 16, you still need to eat from all of the "food groups", so don't cut out anything completely, other than just empty calories, like from cokes or candies, or just plain fatty foods.Good luck, and don't worry about dying from drinking too much water.

I was diagnosed with diabetes about 6 months age. I was some 40+ lbs overweight. Since my diagnosis I've quit all sugars, pasta, potatoes sodas and rice(especially rice) Since my diagnosis, I've dropped over 27 lbs. And there are all kinds of sugar free candies, cookies, flavored waters, and other foods that are tasty and healthy. Good luck. I wish you success. And no. Water will not hurt you. The more water, the better.

Drinking too much water is poisionous. That's why she died. So, keep it low enough. 8 cups is the norm. However, if you aren't walking everywhere, exercising and sweating a lot, or in the heat a lot like Florida, than why drink that much? Drinking water is supposed to make people lose calories after a lot of it. The reason for this is because it gets rid of the sodium you had during the day. However, you have to drink a lot in order to do this. However, you have all this water in you, and you need to get rid of it. You might gain water weight. even though it doesn't have calories. So, does it help??? Not really. Your body is 70% of water. Thus, don't get it up your water intake so much that you gain just water. You will have to lose that somehow too.

Hello? Why haven't I lost any weight?

2009-10-13T22:13:00.002-07:00

This is my 2nd day exercizing and I see no difference??????? What is the problem?
Answer:
I'm into my fourth month of working out/dieting after a two year absence because of some family issues and injuries. I've lost 12 lbs and just now seeing results, give it time.

The only problem is impatients. wait 2 weeks without looking at your scale then you will see a change. it doesn't happen over night.

well, ITS ONLY YOUR SECOND DAY!!!

Need more info, like what are you eating? How many calories? Are you dieting at all? I mean are you pigging out and still exercising? Sometimes it takes more than two days to see a difference even if you exercise and diet. Wait one more.

Its only been 2 days.. you have to give it awhile.... wait a week or two and u will feel results....

Babygirl, you have to give it some time! The pounds aren't gonna drop overnight. Just make sure your eating sensible meals(never skip breakfast),have light snacks in between your meals and drink PLENTY of water. With that and the exercise, you'll eventually start noticing some weight loss. DO NOT look at the scale everyday. That'll just discourage you.
Good Luck!

It will take more than 2 days. On average most exercise programs predict that you will lose approximately 1 pound a week after your first week. On most programs you won't be able to see a difference until you have been working out for at least 10 days. Then you should start to notice it in your hands a fingers first.

For one, you're impatient. It didn't take a couple of days to put on the weight, did it? You shouldn't really be seeing results sooner than a week. Of course, that depends how intense you're exercising and dieting. You are watching what you eat, right?
Rely less on a scale to measure progress and go by the way your clothes fit you.

Weight loss is something that happens over time, exercising is something that you need to do at least 20 mn a day everyday. You will notice weight loss probably over the next month or so, but remember that what you loose in body fat you will make up for in muscle mass which weighs more than fat. Go more by how your clothes fit than by what you weigh. If you have questions about weight loss one of the best resources is your family Dr. since he/she will know your medical history and can recommend your ideal weight.I hope all this helps.

Its only your second day , give it a chance . You shpuld only weigh yourself once a week . And muscle weighs more then fat .
you can exercise too much and it will take awhile to take off . Drink plenty of water , eat properly , and exercise and you will see a differance .
I'am a lifetime Member of ww and it worked for me !!!!!!!!
Its not really a diet , its a whole chage of eating habit lifestyle .
but the results are GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

too soon to tell. You need to lose about 3500 calories before you see a pound of weight loss. So keep an eye on what you are eating, drink plenty of water, and keep working out. You'll notice a difference soon. Even if you don't lose weight, you be losing inches and gaining muscle. Good Luck!

don't make me laugh.............2 days of exercizing won't do anything.......the key is to keep doin it...............

its gonna take more than 2 days,it takes at least 1-2 weeks to see differences.just dont worry,you will see differences soon.just make sure your doing cardio if your trying to lose weight.

Exercise has to be part of your lifestyle. You cant train for two months (or 2 days for that matter) and expect to be in good shape. Even if you trained for 2 months and did see a difference, your body would just go back to the way it was as soon as you stopped. Just do it and enjoy it and the results will come in their own time.

You need to wait 2-4 weeks minimum. Don't be so anxious.The Syko Ward

Hello Everyone, i'm trying to lose 10lbs...?

2009-10-13T22:13:00.001-07:00

I started going to the gym 3 weeks ago, i just go Sat %26 Sun, spend 30 min on the bike, and other 30 min on treadmil, for a total of 1 hr cardio. i think i eat normal, but i'm noticing that my jeans are not as loose as they were before. am i gaining weight ?
Please teach me how to lose weight.
Thank you very much.
Answer:
watch what you eat!! weight watchers is awesome...

cant loose weight with only 2hrs of cardio/ week

It is now recommended that you get 1hr exercise/6 days a week. You need to find time during the week to fit in exercise as well.
You also need to start a food journal. Sometimes we don't realize what we are eating until it's written in front of us. Be more aware of what you put in your mouth. I know some people also will allow themselves to eat more than usual when they start exercising. Which is okay if it's on a daily basis because you do need more to burn more energy, just don't overdo it and make healthier choices. Go to www.shape.com for healthy snack choices, recipes, etc. Their magazine is WONDERFUL. You may even want to get a subscription. They always have lots of tips for living a healthier lifestyle.

Why is everyone concered about there weight? I was concered badly one time, And I
Got skinny and it wasn't really fun so I put on a extra few pounds. Your weight is what
god wanted you to be, and if you don't like it, then you don't like what god gave you.
You should be happy god gave you a life. But!, If you really wanna loose weight heres what you do. swimming season is coming
up and I know your really scared people will laugh at you. - with every meal drink Water or Orange juice, Milk sometimes (Milk is very fattening).- If you are bored and you think about eating and you think your hungry don't eat
Because you are really not hungry your just thinking about it. So try to do some sit ups
or push ups instead. Or do what you like to do.- If you have junk food in your house, then get it all out. Because if you don't have
Junk food in your house, Guess what, You want be ABLE to eat it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...
Let's say you eat alot of junk food, and you stop eating it. You will drop 15 pounds
easy.WHEN YOU SEE A CANDY, THINK OF A HOT GIRL/GUY IN A BATHING SUIT AND THINK WHO
YOU WANT MORE.- Get some Fruits in your house loaded, and eat those when you are hungry but try
Drinking Lots of water too.- Exercises - 1.) Punch air - Makes your arm look non-fat.
2.) Running/walking - Good for you also burns what you ate in the past 24 hours.
3.) Biking - Burns the most calories and fun. just ride around fast for 10 - 20 minutes
straight.
4.) Swimming burns the same and more as biking, because your using your whole body, You
can loose 5 pounds by swimming for 2 hours doing fast laps.
5.) Weight lifting - Light weights make your muscles the same and get the fat off you
also you look better. Heavy weights - Builds muscles like body builders. But, People like you for who you are and if they don't and you wanna
change so they will like you don't because that is not a true friend.But
if you are really fat, and you want to impress a girl, then do what I just told you
Believe me it works. DONT get frustrated if you don't see results, because it will
take about 3-5 days mabey even 2 days if you try really really hard.
______________________________...
HERES WHAT ELSE YOU CAN DO :Get on your couch and put your behind right on the edge of it or
where your comfortable, and start doing sit ups while watching T.V., I
do This everynight and moring for 100 sit ups for 3 sets. I did this for
4 days and got a flat stomachYou might start seeing your lower body stick out more, and thats normal,
All you do is lay on a flat floor and raise your legs for 25 seconds each for
5-7 sets. Do this in the moring and at night. P.S. - Lower body is the hardest part
to get tight so don't get frustrated about instant results cause your not going to get
instant rusults.If your pecks, or known as your upper body is popping out, then do some
push ups at your house. Do 10-15 a set if you wait them to get a bit littler
and cut. You see guy models with cut pecks because that is what turns the lady on.For cardio vascular - Skip fast rope for 3 minutes then another session
do this for 30 minutes if you want results fast!
Also jogging. Helps tremendously! Do 20 minutes of jogging, and if you
can't do the whole 20 minutes jogg in between. Foods that I eat alot :Apples - 0 calories and feels you up.Green beans - 60 calories a CAN but great for your health.Grapes - Idk how many calories but great too.Any fruits are good for you.Drinks : Soda - Twice a week or nonWater - ALOT 0 calories, good for you, FEELS you up alot.Orange juice - Great for your health.

You need more cardio! Also, what are you eating? Start counting your calories. Figure out what your BMR is and eat 500 calories less than that per day, PLUS at least 3 or 4 hours of cardio each week instead of just 2. Try spreading it out, too! Do 30 minutes every week day and on Saturdays, and then give yourself a break on Sunday (or whichever day you want!). Drinking lots of water is also really important! Cut out all soda (unless its diet), fried foods, candies and cakes, and all junk foods! :D

your jeans are tighter because you are gaining muscle, which is heavier than fat, so you are gaining weight (but it is ok since you are doing somethign healthy). I think you should talk to a dietician for advice on how to lose weight, but still work out.

2 days a week isn't nearly enough.Work out 30 mins per day if possible every day, it doesn't have to be at the gym.If you want to lose weight faster, go in the morning, do 1/2 hour of cardio then some weights, switching from upper body one day, lower body the next, abs the last, then one day where you do 1 hour cardio, then a day off. You won't get huge muscles, just defenition and fatloss. Whatever muscle you might gain will help burn more fat.Make sure to eat well, including healthy snacks, you should never starve yourself or it'll be harder to lose weight. Uhm more whole grains are good, more fruits and veggies. Drink lots of water. Cut out pops or juice as much as possible.Oh, and try more brown rice and sweet potato for dinner, and don't eat sweets late in the day. If you eat sweets do it after a workout to boost energy levels.Best of all, do whatever activity you enjoy, because you'll do it the best.Best of luck.

Try the 9Day diet available from www.foreverliving.com You can buy it direct from that site, but if you want to buy it at 30% cheaper than retail join the company as a distributor. That is what I did and, no, being a distributor does not mean you have to sell anything. It just means you can buy at wholesale price. In order to join, however, you will need a distributor's number. If you wish you can use mine Name: Frank Woods from Dublin, Ireland no: 353-000-019-886 Best of luck to you and a very happy St. Patrick's day.

Whatever you do, don't go on a diet. You need to change your habits permanently, because 95% of all diets fail. Keep going to the gym, but try to go at least 3 or 4 times a week. The key to losing weight is creating a Calorie deficit (you burn more calories than you eat), but you don't want to overdo it. The safe guidelines is usually 20% of your maintenance level. I personally HATE counting Calories, however, so I just use this principle without actually doing the math.Here are a few tips that worked for me:
1. Don't even skip meals. If you do, your metabolism goes down and your body will save Calories and store more fat.
2. Eat frequently, healthy, and in small portions (6 small meals a day, 3 hours apart).
3. Your diet is the lesser part of losing weight. Becoming more active is actually what helps the most. Do more cardio, walk instead of driving, etc.
4. Don't go on a diet or eat too little. Doing so will cause your body's metabolism to go down, and your body will burn muscle, not fat.
5. Do weight training. You don't have to do a lot of weights, or become super-buff or anything. Weight training is important, though, because it raises your metabolism and helps you burn more fat. I highly recommend you read this book: "BURN THE FAT
FEED THE MUSCLE" by Tom Venuto. I learned all this stuff from that book, and it's worked for me so far. The link is http://burnthefat.com/ if you want to check it out. Good luck, and remember: Don't give up!!!!!!!!

Walking 2-3 miles a day, I lost 56 pounds in six months doing this!

Hekp me !!!!! For my diet program?

2009-10-13T22:13:00.000-07:00

HI all!
HELP me please? my weight is 160 lbs, my height is 5 feet 3 inc. I'm Female. Help me to lose my weight.
Answer:
Okay, it is quite simple, maybe not that healthy, but the human body is well capable. Have, half a slim fast for your breakfast, and a strong coffee. For lunch, have a full slim fast and a piece of fruit (an orange or a green apple), and another strong coffee. Then for dinner, have a small amount of brown rice, mixed with peas, sweetcorn and broccoli. Make sure you drink plenty of water which will allow the body to flush any toxins still present, it also helps when you are trying to loose weight, the reason for the high amount of caffeine in this diet is because it allows your metabolism to work at a higher rate, and your body needs a substitute for the calories it would normally have. You must also get at least two hours gym work each day. You will loose weight quickly. Once you have reached your ideal weight, continue going to gym, and gradually start eating more. Trust me, it works- It may not be as healthy as eating 4 meals a day, and doing casual works out, but as we all know- that simply doesn't work! and will take months to see any results. Good Luck

Stop eating so much
Do more exercise
Try the diet milkshakes
Put your diet on youtube for the world to shame you into sticking to it

join weight watchers

eat wen your hungry stop wbefore your full and walk for an hour or run for 30 :-) easy!

Sure what kind of help do you need...........?

consider signing up for myfooddiary.com, $9 a monthi am NOT affiliated with it! i use it to record my food intake and exercise output. apparently studies have shown this THE way to lose weight long term is food journals.one friend on there has become VERY motivated and loses about 2 pounds a week. but she's very very overweight. i have become careful about the type of food i eat and have gotten more exercise-motivated too.your goal should be half a pound a week and you know the drill - you must consume fewer calories and exercise more!

Yeh, you have a little bit of a problem. I, too, am small. I'm just 5 ft tall so I relate. If you change your diet to higher protein , lower carbs, you will lose a good deal of that weight. You want to cut down, or better, eliminate starch- it turns to sugar. You need to really watch all refined sugar. Soda is a pitfall for me.
It means making proper meals for yourself. Meat and vegetables, Watch out for potatoes, and rice, and pasta Buit don't starve yourself, or you will drop the diet like a hot potato and binge on fries and chocolate. Invest in a low carb cookbook and use it. This works And I don't work out

hope this helps

Heel pain?

2009-10-13T22:12:00.003-07:00

I have heel pain only in the left heel what causes this an how can i prevent this from happing
Answer:
It could be Plantar Fasciitis. I had that a number of years ago on my right heel.
I got some Dr. Scholls heel pain inserts for my shoes that were specifically
for that. Also you can check The Mayo Clinic website. Type in Plantar Fasciitis
or click on diseases and treatments--on F and then get the info that you need.
Good luck and hope your heel feels better soon. I know how painful it is. You
can also go on Yahoo and type in heel pain and it will also give you information.

This has happened to me before after a week of hardcore running...try not to run or do vigorus activities with your feet for a while take some tylenol and massage the heel now and then

You can have a planter's wart or bone spur. See a podiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.

Heard about Herbalife Food products ? Please advise me about that.?

2009-10-13T22:12:00.002-07:00

If you know about any Herbalife nutrition food products pls advise whether it is very effective. Somebody told that you can loose weight or can gain weight by taking same product. Seems confusing.
Answer:
YES Herbalife does work as do many other products and diets the key is to find the one that suits you, the shakes are nutritional shakes about 2000 calories worth of nutrition in about 200 calorie shake, so yes they are for weight loss, maintance or gain, depending on how you use them, the key to a successful diet is to get the nutrition that your body needs in the fewest amount of calories, I have used the products for 3 years now lost 40 lbs in 4 months and kept it off for 2 years, it helps you to learn to eat the right things, if you are hungry you need to eat when you are dieting the idea is not to starve yourself, as far as no deserts well do we really need desert is there any nutrition in it,, that is what you need to look at if there is not 15 grams of some vit or mineral, it probally should not go in your mouth.I will end with my favorite quote from the movie "over the Hedge" the animals are talking watching the humans eating and having lots of food and the one animal says whats the deal he says "animals you see eat to live, and Humans you see live to eat." that is our big problem we look at food as a treat and to relieve all the stress of our live and tend to eat what we dont need and the things we do need we dont touch. Food for thought we need 7 servings of fruits and vegies per day How many have you eaten today. and sorry one more stat for you 70% of deaths in USA are heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes, 50% of those deaths are diet related, so my advise just find the products or plan that work for you and go for healthy living

I've never actually done Herbalife weight loss products but I've talked to some others who have tried it and had pretty good success.

I tried hebalife the vitamins are good but I found my self feeling hungry with the shakes try it youmay be differentI did it for 4 weeks with out mucking up I followed it to the letter
I did actually lose weight but it got harder after that

Get a proper advice from your doctor.Don't get confusion about your health.

yes even AMWAY

Herbalife has been around for about 30 years.You can read their own blurb on their self promoting web sitehttp://www.herbalife.com/hl/templates/te...But also read private blogs and other web sites that show it as a quick expensive way to lose your dosh. http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripo...

I was actually on Herbalife about 4 years ago. I was always hungry because you were only allowed one snack throughout the day and no dessert, even fruit. I was on it for 6 weeks, I lost a little, plataued on week 3 and got the crap of it week 6. I couldn't do it, I am the type of person who needs to eat and snack regularly. The pills and supplements were good, though.

It is fashionable to talk about herbal for every thing that one uses.Eat only when hungry. Eat only nutritious and not junk. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in ur meals. Do not take more than three meals a day unless diabetic. Nothing in between except water. It will help u to contain ur craving for if u chew each morsel of food 32 times. It will also help ur brain to generate a signal that u have had enough. Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly. These practices will help u to attain ideal weight within a reasonable time span.

It is basically a Soya based product. Supposed to be good. Since there is no shortage for fools in India, if you are good in marketing, you can earn good money. Use soya bean in your food instead.

I know nothing about herbalife products but I use phentermine for weight loss you can get it at www.customhrt.com click other treatments then go to weight loss then just order it

1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes. You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up. It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.
2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods. Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).
3. Eat half. Just eat half of what you normally eat. Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away. Cook less. When you go to fast food, get salads only. Or grilled chicken. No fries, only diet soda. Or water.It will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine. It has been over a year for me.Also start counting your calories. Write them down. You would be amazed as to how much more aware you are of your caloric intake, if you actually write it down. We recently discovered a site that offers a great program that counts calories, as well as keeps track of everything. It allows multiple users, so everyone in the family can keep track. They offer a free 7 day trial, and so far I am very impressed with the product. Try the 7 days and see. It allows you to add the exercise that you do during the day, which increases the amount of calories you can take in. Very Cool!!

Healtier Ways?

2009-10-13T22:12:00.001-07:00

Ok, well I'm skinny and all, but i eat junk food, and like ice-cream. i want to know how i can eat healthier.like instead of cheetos wht could i get or something like that.
Answer:
Well, instead of ice cream, eat frozen yogurt or sorbet. Those tend to have less fat and empty calories.
Try to snack on things that are healthier for you like baby carrots, apples, bananas, grapes and the like. If you are looking for something with a crunch (to replace your Cheetos), eat Triscuits or other low-fat crackers. I'm fond of Kashi TLC (Tasty Little Crackers). They actually cost less than the other brands and they're just as good - if not better! They actually have nutritional value.
Hope that helps.

Fruits and veggies.

Chose whole foods from the different food groups but only select the ones that you like. Anyway, here are some links with a sample meal plan and a list of healthy foods.

Try healthy replacements that taste similar. Instead of ice cream try yogurt or low-fat. Smoothies instead of shakes. Nutri-grain bars (or other healthy bars) instead of candy bars/cookies. Cheese instead of Cheetos.Remember, junk food isnt horrible in moderation - especially if you are healthy. You dont have to deprive yourself of your favorites - just limit it. Look at what a serving is, put a serving on a plate and the rest back where they belong. When thats all you can have, you will eat it slower (which will help you fill up faster) and you dont eat the entire bag of cheetos (or whatever) in one sitting.

You could always shop at Whole Foods, if there is one around where you live. You could try the Natural Cheetos or other organic brands of cheese puffs. Veggie chips and soy crisps are also a good alternative because they are lower in calories and fat than most other chips. Instead of ice cream you could try frozen yogurt. In my opinion it tastes better than ice cream, and has way less fat and saturated fat than ice cream.

the site below tells how to eat healthier but also how to enjoy those foods as much as you enjoy unhealthy food.http://www.phifoundation.org

Healthy way to lose weight?

2009-10-13T22:11:00.003-07:00

i'm a rather large fellow and my girlfriend is quite big too, i've asked about excercise here and got a good idea to do walking and dance lessons, now i want to focus on diet.my problem isn't fatty or junk foods, it's too much food, when we eat dinner it's a very large dinner, a feast even... so i've decided to cut all my meals in half, i've been doing this for 3 days and i haven't had cravings to eat more or anything like that.is this a healthy diet? i'm still eating proper vitamins, protein and all that, i'm just not eating a massive feast every meal.are there any alternatives I should try?
Answer:
That was a good idea to split your meals in half!It's recommended to eat 6-8 small meals a day to keep your metabolism running efficiently and to carve hunger

, if losing some pounds of any description and inches is what you want then I would suggest you use a diet that is all natural and is rich in protein and vitamins, which is what the FDA recommends. I used a protein based diet with Herbalife after a friend who had lost weight with them recommended it to me. All the way through you feel great and energized, you also get great coaching and support along the way. The people are very friendly and gave me lots of great advice. I needed to lose 40 pounds and I did so fairly easily. There is no pressure and they will even send you a load of free samples so you can try before you buy. The samples were the thing that initially convinced me that this was the right diet for me. The products really work and you feel great whilst losing weight. You also a get e free complete health consultation with the samples, I think I just paid the postage, but for what I got it was well worth it.
I lost all my weight in less than four months and they have helped me to keep it off. I would definitely recommend using them. The owners will advise you on what to purchase depending on what you want to lose, my sister did this also and lost 76 pounds in five months. The website is www.myhealthabc.com. You just leave your details and they call you up, I would suggest that if you aren鈥檛 sure or don鈥檛 want someone to ring you then go to their main site www.myhealthabcmall.com and you can see all the products and packages and order from their. This is what I did before I went to the first site and left my details so they could contact me. You can see with all the products and detail they have, so you know that they mean business. Its nice to have contact with real people who care about you losing weight and improving your health. I know that I will continue to keep the weight off with the help I have received. I hope this helps.

Healthy lifestyle will delay death or death-time is actually fixed by God?

2009-10-13T22:11:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Wow, great question! I believe that we have to do all we can to prolong and improve our lives, not just sit still and wait for God to give us prosperity, give us health, give us joy. We still have to work to earn a living, still have to try to be a nice person, still have to strive to be in good health. But I also believe that God knows the end from the beginning, and knows what we will do, and so in that way, He does know when we will die. We have our agency to change anything we want, He just knows what we are going to do ahead of time.

God has given us free will. Therefore he has no set or predetermined time of death for us. A healthy lifestyle will help you live longer.

Definitely a healthy lifestyle will help you live longer. Of course no one knows exactly when their time on this planet will end, that definitely is in the hands of the Creator.

Our life is in Gods hands. Gods got a plan for everyone of us.

As none of us have actually died do you expect an informed answer? Or, are you just trying to spark a debate between the religious and scientific minded. Shame on you for being so bored you try to stir up discontent among those folks with such strongly held beliefs on either side that they will argue with unseen people on a machine. Get something interesting to do, make up your own mind. Take a walk something just stop trying to create more hate.

Death time is fixed by God in my opinion. But God tells us to treat our bodies like temples which means eating right and living as healthy a lifestyle as possible.

I'm sure people have ridden their bikes to church in the morning and been run over by a truck. I think when your time is up, it's time to go............

I think death is neither a health thing, or a God thing. It just is what it is. You can be healthy, exercise and choke to death on a piece of broccoli. As for the "fixed by God".....it could be fixed by the drunk who decided to drive his car into yours, or the person who decided to get a gun and go on a shooting spree. How about someone who decided to commit suicide? Did "God" make these people do those bad things? I like to think not.Death is the only thing in life that is automatically guaranteed to you the second you come into this world. That is why people think about it so much. To see it makes us know that it's not a matter of "if it happens", but a matter of "when it happens".

Fixed by God, when your time's up, it's up! Remember the jogger who died of a heart attack? He was in great shape, but it was his time to go....

Healthy lifestyle alone will not alter anything. I have known people who have done everything right only to die of cancer or a heart attack or some other tragedy.I think God sees everything unfold. He gives us all free will, but he does not stop and interfere with the process of life that he gave us. It was all pre-ordained. But I think God can alter many things, even death, if we believe in Him enough and if we have enough faith. I think for the truly devoted God grants many miracles. Sometimes it seems bad things happen to good people, while others that seem undeserving have everything fall into place for them. We don't know what the end holds for people like that, so we shouldn't judge because this life is only temporary (and oh so short!) I just think people should aim for more than just filling thier pockets with money and making legends in their own minds of themselves. Everyone will reach a time where they need the help of another human being, and that is when they realize that the precious things in life are not what they may have thought them to be. Death is really nothing in the grand scheme of things. That day comes for us all.What you will come to regret is how you lived your life, if you didn't really live it the way you should have, if you didn't say the things you should have to those you loved, if you took it for granted and let it all pass you by. Those are the things you come to regret. I believe in everyone's life there is an awakening, perhaps many of them along the way, but sooner or later your eyes are wide open.As the poets say, live like there's no tomorrow, for no tomorrow is promised to no one! :~)

Actually, u r combining dis scientific way to d religious one.This is true that God has fixed a death-time to everyone but till our death we shld keep ourselves very healthy.

Healthy foods to eat on a diet?

2009-10-13T22:11:00.001-07:00

What are healthy foods to eat on a diet? to lose at lease 1.5 pounds a week. I'm a vegetarian and i don't eat fish either.
For breakfast, lunch And dinner...and are snacks ok?
Answer:
You can eat all the vegetables you want. And all the fruit. Avoid or lay off of, or at least go easy on the starches %26 pastries. Avoid fats and fried food. Go easy on salt or avoid it. Snacks are fine except those just noted --Don't fill up on Fritos %26 fries %26 chips, you know. Some sweets are OK, but limit them mainly to sugar free or low sugar. Fresh food is nearly always better than canned food, because they put too much sodium %26 salt in the canned foods, to flavor it. It's perfectly OK for you to eat fish. Whole-grain cereals are fine, and cheese, too. You vegetarians claim not to eat meat, but there are millions of helpless, darling little microscopic animals on every stick of celery you savages chomp on, so don't you feel guilty, you cannibal?

i like celery

Healthy eating?

What affect does eating fruit every night have on you?
Answer:
You might not be able to sleep, it would be very hard for youre Body to Digest all that Fruit at Night. After about a Half an Hour After a load of Expellation of Wind you will have to run to the Toilet, and Eject the load from youre Bowels. You might have to Repeat going to the Toilet for a few times, It will leave you with a Sore Stomach and Feeling Nauseus. At least it will clear out youre Stomach if you ate to much in the Daytime.

Hi!It keeps me VERY regular, if you know what I mean!!

Healthy breakfast ideas for my 19 year old please?

2009-08-08T17:45:00.003-07:00

He doesnt like cereal and usually has a toasted sandwich with cheese but I think he is eating too much fat. Can anyone think of something yummy but healthy ?
Answer:
Malt loaf and an apple with peanut butter on.Surprisingly amazing!Otherwise I have weetabix with chocolate chunks - a combination of healthy and not so healthy (has he tried weetabix - worth a go? I'm not crazy about cereal either but weetabix rules...)

A banana

low fat yogurt with fruit (chopped banana, raspberries etc)
brown toast and penut butter

Simple :) A healthy cereal such as Cheerios, Life, Smart Start, Etc. A glass of O.J. and a peice of fruit.

okay what he is eating is fine don't try to overfeed him or he won't like it and it may result in arguments

Do you mean 19, or 9? Let the idiot feed himself...

Instead of cheese, have an egg with a tomato. Or peanut butter on toast. Both have that savoury taste, but are good for you. However, I also suggest that you examine all of his eating habits before you nix the cheese on toast. It could be that he needs that fat...he is a young guy.

Oatmeal is great! I like Quaker Oats because they have individual packets. Fruit %26 Cream are good and provide nominal amounts of fruit, the flavor is great. Fresh fruit is great for mornings too. I try to have a bowl of oatmeal, an apple and a slice of whole wheat toast. It's very filling too and sticks with me until my mid-morning snack (more fruit). Poached eggs, one or two slices of bacon (no sausage - very fatty) and a slice of whole wheat toast is good too.Thanks for being responsible enough to look out for your children's health.

Did you ever try a hard boiled egg? or scrambled eggs? How about french toast. Pancakes r made with milk + egg.I use to make a pudding with milk+ eggs 4 babys breakfast. CUSTARD is another one my baby likes.

19 year old??

Point outWashboard stomachs get girls and BJs fat tummies dont.Smothies.
ie fruit milkshake...Ygurt with varoius blended fruit... yummy like puddling and add cerial and nuts...
maybe some ginger and blend it all up.

Porridge oats to lower his cholesterol and fruit. Toast is OK but put something healthy, like peanut butter, honey or Marmite on it - not cheese.

who gives a crap about what he likes?... you think I like having to be on a low sodium diet and eating food that tastes like cardboard?. Food is not all about pleasure.
I pretty much alternate between egg based breakfasts and oatmeal. Basically I eat oatmeal with fruits in it almost every morning except about twice a week I have eggs. (yes, eggs might be high in cholesterol, but they're also high in just about every mineral and vitamin your body might need.
The oatmeal might not be the yummiest thing but it is healthy and very filling. Tell that kid to get over worshiping his taste buds and think about feeding his brain and body.
I know somebody like that who constantly complains: "I don't like that"... he only likes bacon and eggs for breakfast and can't go a meal without eating a ton of fat.... he weighs a ton and looks like a big quivering blob of jello.

hope this site gives ideas

Healthy Breakfast Bars?

2009-08-08T17:45:00.002-07:00

My doctor told me I should lose a few pounds. My friend suggested breakfast bars, that are 100 calories or less. But I don't know any! Is there any healthy breakfast bars that are 100 calories or less that I can buy IN A GROCERY STORE like Shaws, for example. Remember:A HEALTHY breakfast bar that I can buy at Shaws100 calories or less per bar.It should taste YUMMY! They yummier, the more likley I'll eat it then a 1,000 calorie breakfast
Answer:
Quaker makes chewy granola bars that are 90 and 100 calories. They make them in several flavors and they're tasty! Good luck!

Luna Bars, PowerBars...

Breakfast is not the meal to cut on, dinner is. Anything you eat after about seven, goes to waist (sorry).

try the luna bars you can get the tea cakes or the sunrise bars. they have around 150 calories and are very yummy. They are usually sold in the organic section. They also have lots of good vitamins and minerals for women which is also good for you.

if you want to lose weight, forget the breakfast bar and grab a yogurt instead.. there are a lot of great flavors now, some that i think are just as good as some ice creams.. breakfast bars wont satisfy your hunger as well as the yogurt that has a lot of proteingood luck

There is a big difference between 100 calories and 1,000 calories.A 100 calorie is a snack not a meal.You are likely to be very hungry and overeat later in the day if you deprive yourself.Those bars are artificial with less than nothing to offer you.
Here are a couple of ideas for a low calorie breakfast that are more natural:
#1-A piece of low carb bread with 1 tsp pb. a glass of milk.
#2-low fat yogurt and 4 oz juice.
#3-an egg scrambled with peppers and onions,half and english muffin and 4 oz of milk or juice.Good luck

Don't be fooled by the breakfast bars. You can't lose weight only by eating a 100 calories breakfast. You need to eat a high fiber, high protein breakfast that most breakfast bars don't have. There are natural cereals that do. Furthermore, to lose weight, burn more calories than you consume daily. eat well balanced meals, avoid too much sugar, soda and too much caffeine. Walk at least two miles a day at one clip. four times a week and you will lose an average of three to five pounds the first week and two to three pounds per week thereafter. While doing all of this drink plenty of water, not only to satisfy your thirst, but to flush out the ash from your body. After a few weeks you may notice a no weight loss. This is normal. Continue dieting in this manner and you will meet your goal. Remember to manage your weight eating the same way.

Healthiest alcohol cocktail?

2009-08-08T17:45:00.001-07:00

I am curious for some answers on this. The more, the merrier, as I will likely sample many of your suggestions. I'm looking to drink the most "healthy" drinks possible with liquor. For example I understand vodka has less sugar than, say, rum, so I think a vodka/orange screwdriver might be more healthy than drinking coke and rum. I know alcohol isn't a dieting technique but I do like to watch my calories and sugar as much as possible. Any more ideas?
Answer:
A pomegranate martini: * 1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
* 2 oz. Absolute Citron vodka OR white tequila
* 1 oz. Cointreau liquor
* Cup of ice
* Optional: Splash of sparkling water
* Optional: Squeeze of lemonhas vitamin c and antioxidants.

None of the drinks are "healthy". Alcohol has 7 calories per gram. Just don't drink alcohol and you'll be fine. Drink water instead. Alcohol is nothing but empty calories.

Then stick with water or Lite Beer, because they're all going to be about the same.I would guess a screwdriver would have 250 calories in it.

I'd go with either vodka (carb free!) either straight or mixed with water or diet soda, or light beer (around 100 calories each).

Studies have shown that red wine may actually have health benefits.

Actually since juice has as much sugar as coke, drinkin it on the rocks is the lowest calorie way. Vodka is the cleanest liqour and rum is the worst for your body. Very dirty and will clog your liver quicker. Of course you might get realllly smashed drinking it straight up and that's not healthy. A little bit of alcohol (not just wine) everyday is good for you.

Wine is a healthy alcoholic drink.
Alcohol consumed in moderation is thought to be beneficial in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Indeed, alcohol consumption in conjunction with high intakes of fruit and vegetables, may well explain the so-called 'French paradox'. The French diet is considered to be very high in fat, especially saturated fat, yet the death rate from coronary heart disease remains relatively low. It is thought this is at least partly due to people's consumption of red wine.Five Smarter Sips
1. Champagne: At 100 calories, ringing in the New Year with this traditional toasting beverage won't wreak havoc on your waistline.
2. Wine Spritzer: With 3 ounces of wine and 3 ounces of club soda, wine spritzers top out at about 60 calories and zero grams of fat.
3. Wine: The typical glass of wine weighs in at 100 calories. Opt for red and you鈥檒l get a healthy dose of disease-fighting chemicals called flavonols, too.
4. Beer: Light or regular, a bottle of beer is a much better option than most cocktails.
"Drink from the bottle instead of the larger servings from draft beers," says Gidus. Regular beer has 150 calories to the bottle, while light has about 100.
5. Vodka (or Gin) %26 Soda: Most mixers with 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits and diet or club soda have less than 100 calories and no fat.

I believe that would be considered a "Oxymoron". There wouldn't truly be such a thing.Having a glass or two of wine is good for your health and heart.Drinking liquor for recreation is not thought of as "healthy"in any way. Take care. SW RNP

Bloody Mary's made with V8 gives you a full serving of vegetablesMimosas are champagne and orange juice, so you get a dose of Vitamin C.Cosmos made with tequila or vodka mixed with cranberry juice, good for urinary function and vitamins.

Anything with alcohol isn't that healthy . But if you want something close to health I would go with Bloody Mary due to it being tomato juice and Tabasco in it.

use diet drinks to mix with the liquoryou can enjoy your alchohol, just dont drink alot if you want to watch you calories and sugar intake

Health risks of drinking tang?

2009-08-08T17:45:00.000-07:00

Does drinking Tang or other powdered drinks pose any threat to health?
Answer:
why take powdered drinks when juice shops are there everywhere in India and most kitchens have juicers.

astronauts drank tang in outer space, so i am thinking it is safe. unless they have found something out. tang has vitamin c added to it.

Tang is good... A growing boy should get lots of tang... hell, men should get lots of tang too.

No health risk really, but it does contain sugar..brush your teeth or it might give you cavities.

well i cant drink tang ,it gives me , sore throat ....
i dont think is there any thing serious
sohail

you can drink tang as long as you count your calories and watch your waistline.

u will tend to put on weight if you drink too much of tang.

Tanng, like most powdered drinks has little if any nutritional value and the refined sugar can shut down your kidneys, cause nervous system diseases and even lead to Diabetes.
Real juices on the other hand, have natural fructose in them and are very good for you!

cancer is serious, don't think is isn't. 6 weeks ago from Tuesday my best friend died from cancer. He was 18.

Has allot of sugar, you dentist will really be happy. It can also make you hyper..

Tang being a processed orange drink does not give much to your health. Infact any thing that is processed is not good for the body. Go for frah oranges, kinoo, Lime etc

Health Question,everyone please try and answer...?

2009-08-08T17:44:00.002-07:00

My father is going on a diet in an attempt to lose weight and lower his Cholesterol.He heard from my cousin's husband that if he eats only Meats and Vegetables for 40 days his cholesterol will be better and he will lose weight. He has done it for a day now and says he already feels much better...SO- What is this Diet called?What is he allowed to drink?Any specifics or helpful advice?Please and Thank You!
Answer:
Your dad should definitely not drink alcohol. He should drink plenty of water.He should eat plenty of roughage: cabbage, spinach, zuchinni, etc. These act as brooms and will help to sweep-out his colon. The colon becomes clogged after years of eating unhealthy foods. Many people absorb very little nutrition from what they eat because their colon walls are coated with junk. He may want to consider a colonic.My wife is 5'4", 107#, size 0 and runs 11 miles every other day and lifts weights every other day. She did a liver cleanse, lost 7 pounds and her cholesteral dropped 72 points. Over years of abuse, stones of congealed fat congregate in the liver. She says after her first liver cleanse, the accumulation of over 100 stones was about the size of a football. Let me repeat: my wife is an extraordinary athlete in excellent shape and that is the sludge that came out of her body.

It seems like it may be a variation of the Atkins diet, which has been popular for a couple of years (basically you just cut out carbs). I'm not sure what he's allowed to drink, however alcohol is high in calories so if he wants to lose the weight, he's much better to cut his alcohol intake WAY back, or stop completely.It can get difficult, people sometimes feel like they're lacking energy, however they are not, it's just that their body is adapting to not having carbs in its system. Just make sure he sticks to it, even if it is hard at times: it will be worth it!

I feel that the previous answer regarding the Atkins diet is right on the money. However, please make sure that your father has enough cold water to drink during the day. Just plain water all by itself. We need at least 8 - 10 glasses of water per day just to stay hydrated !! If you have a cup of coffee or tea you then need to drink an extra 1.5 glasses of water per cup of coffee/tea. This is because coffee and tea are diuretics and encourage fluid loss. We all know what happens when you don't drink enough water .......... tummy aches, headaches, constipation, fatigue and exhaustion, etc.etc.etc...........PEACE
............... :0)

reducing rice , wheat reduces weight , if manageable let him live in vegetables and skimmed butter milk , morning honey and lemon must suit better

The best think to lose weight is healthy eating and excersice.If he don't excercise or do cardio like running or any other activity can take for ever to lose weight.

Health Question, Dietary everyone please do your best to answer...?

2009-08-08T17:44:00.001-07:00

Okay my father is on a version of the Atkins diet and he is only allowed to eat Meat and Vegetable for forty days.
And nothing with starch.So is there any starch in dairy products? Can He drink Milk?What else is allowed and what is Taboo?Thanx everyone!
Answer:
Tell him to drink A LOT of water - 1 oz of meet requires about 10 ozs of water to properly assimilate it into the body thru its various channels. Aswell, a supplementary fiber supplement should be taken as well, preferably whole psylium husk from the health food store. Milk has no starch --- that I know of!

There are minimal carbs / starch in milk.
Atkins is fish, poultry, pork, beef and veggies.
I would get the 1 pound bags , nuke them , then put one of the Marsala curry sauces on, or salsa , or BBQ sauce, but look out because many BBQ sauces have lots of sugar. This would be an excellent time to invent your own BBQ sauce.

Health benefits of cottage cheese?

2009-08-08T17:44:00.000-07:00

I lift weights and do cardio 4X a week. I only eat chicken and am constantly trying to get extra protein. I heard cottage cheese may be a good way. Do any of you weight lifters eat it? Is it as healthy as I've heard it is? The consistency scares me but I am willing to try it for extra protein. I bought one of those cottage cheese doubles w/ raspberry sauce but I am afraid the sauce might be too much like a jelly and have too much sugar. Are those okay for 1st timers? It has 14 g of sugar I believe. Let me know your insights on cottage cheese please :)
Answer:
Cottage cheese is a very good way to add protein to your diet. There are different brands that have different tastes and consistencies. Breakstone is a very tasty brand. So is weight watchers. The packs of cottage cheese that come with a side of fruit are kind of sugary. Add your own fruit. Try natural peaches or peaches in LIGHT syrup.

cottage cheese although not necesarrily the best tasting thing is one all bodybuiders, lifting enthusiasts, or just people who are in general looking to stay heatlhy should eat. in just a half a cup of cottage cheese there is 13-15 grams of protein. i would say eat cottage cheese with whatever fruit u like but remeber not too much fruit or there will be that extra sugar factor. also you said you only eat chicken and you need a balanced diet so you must add some dairy in there. cottage cheese is good to eat before bedtime becasue it has slow digesting casein protein...give it a try, good luck!

Try Cottage Cheese and peaches or pears. My absolute favorite thing wth cottage cheese is fresh diced tomates with a little salt and pepper.

my 16month old has always been a self proclaimed vegetarian never eating meat which he needs for healthy development. He's always loved cottage cheese and other cheeses though. when I talked to his pediatrician he said as long as he's eating alot of cottage cheese and other dairy he doesnt have to eat meat he gets enough protien from that. They even checked the protien in his blood and it was several points higher than average meat eaters his age. I was sold.Eat the cottage cheese but skip the sauce stuff.

Having a little more than 229 mg of caffine isn't too bad in a 15 year old, is it?

2009-08-08T17:43:00.002-07:00

I've been having spurts of caffine boosts all day. Like for example right now I am all jittery and can't keep still, at least my hand. Like when I was trying to find out how much caffine there was in Mountain Dew, I kept tapping my lip really fast and not stopping....I don't know...my mother told me not to have any more caffine becasue next was my heart. I'm not planning on having any more caffine tonight, but I just want to make sure its all good (And now I'm tapping the top of my pen on my teeth)
Answer:
Considering how your body reacts to caffeine, you should seriously stop right now. Especially Mountain Dew. That is so unbelievably bad for you there are no words for it.

mountin dew is the worst my sis would get all hyper drinkin that *** . drink waterr instead . it better for you anyways

you cant have too much caffiene its great i have lots every day like coffee,redbull and mountain dew is awsome! Actually i dont know i just drink lots of caffiene and its great!

ha, you should cut don the caffeine, you i too young.

its just all around bad for you mckay? I would use it before a work out maybe to get going i here is its ok but just all around very bad for you.

Haven't we learned?

2009-08-08T17:43:00.001-07:00

Haven't we learned that no-carbohydrate diets are bad for you? Haven't we also learned that once you stop the weight creeps back on? When are we all going to learn that there are no quick fixes? Good things come to those who wait and work for it. Change your life with a balanced meal and exercise. Carbohydrates are not evil, simple refined sugars are.
Answer:
Devious enterprisers will always make a profit by perpetrating so-called "quick fixes" into the minds of the weak. People are usually dreamers and not do-ers. So selling dreams is profitable.Atkins should of been shot when he invented that diet. That retarded diet just eliminates water retention in the body. No damn positive change to lean body mass whatsoever.

Artifical transfat is also bad for you There is a tiny bit of real transfat in red meatNutra Systems, most of it tastes bad
at least WW is better tasting food Life change is portion control you need 4 oz of steak, not 24 oz

Haven't we learned it is about lifestyle changes, not "diets" and other temporary solutions?

Quick fix actually worked for me...I starved myself and lost 30lbs 2 years ago. I haven't gained any weight back ever since. Quick fix would work if you are determined. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.

Thanks for the inspiring speech, doctor. I already know this, so don't lump everyone together.

lost 1 measly pound? or worse, gained a pound?!
Answer:
I actually gained weight, and the doctor said, "Muscle weighs more than fat." And I've got to admit, I was looking better! And feeling better! So now, I don't weigh myself unless I'm Sure that I've lost a Lot!

Yes I have. That's why after years of occasional dieting and going crazy, I've given up. Don't weigh myself anymore either. When my pants get tight, I know I need to lay off certain foods for awhile and go for long walks.

YES....and it is so aggervating. I have heard to not weigh yourself while dieting. That some people lose inches and not pounds but thats a big piece of crap. but if you are working out you might be gaining muscle which weighs more than fat. So you could have lost fat but gained muscle. And muscle burns more calories. Don't give up. I am someone who if I don't see results quick i will quit or get upset. Be strong.

yes. ive done that. it sucks! knowing you put so much time and energy into it excerising and eating right. and it gets you nowhere.

Have you ever used a Rowing Machine?

2009-08-08T17:42:00.002-07:00

I was thinking about buying one but I'm wondering how people like using it in the long run. It's not always practical for me to get out to the gym, so I want something to use at home that will not take up alot of space and stores easily. A rower seems the way to go, but do you like the workout? Comments please...
Answer:
Yes, rowing machines are an excellent way to exercise the whole body and it's more aerobic than most machines. Renting a row boat on a small lake or large pond is even more fun.

I use one at my school, I like it, it's alot of fun. Ths is coming om someone who hates exercise.

Have you ever tried Relacore PM diet pills and if so do they work?

2009-08-08T17:42:00.001-07:00

Answer:
I think the best way to loose weight is just to start walking. Not so fast that you can't even breathe, I mean just nice steady pace walking. If you workout too hard, your not burning fat, only carbs.

the only diet that is ever 100% is healthy/smart eating, and a regular dose of exercise..

try hoodia, it's good stuff!http://www.hoodiareviewer.com

The best energy pill is Tetrazene ES-50.

Have you ever been on an Atkins diet?

2009-08-08T17:42:00.000-07:00

How many pounds did you lose?
Answer:
I have not tried that kind of diet. But you must apply this one......
So as to lose weight, all you got to do is simply drink more water... 12 to 15 glasses of water a day. Then, NO to carbonated drinks, spicy, salty, fatty and nutty food. Also, do not eat chocolates, sweets and food with preservatives. EAT MORE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS. This kind of diet is priceless!
I lose weight from 75 kilos to 62 kilos in 3 months. At present, I simply maintain my weight up to 65 kilos only.
Hope this will help you. Have a nice day and take care :)

I have not, but remember you can also ditch dieting and take up small portions 5 or 6 times a day. And , although no one likes the word 'exercise' , it really can help. And always listen to others advise but do not forget to RESEARCH!RESEARCH!RESEARCH!!

Yes I was. To be honest, I have no idea how much weight I lost - I never got on a scale. What I do know is I lost three pants sizes and that was good enough for me.

The atkins diet is bad for you dont even go there

I lost about 10 pounds. I did not like the diet at all though. Their were too many limitations on what to eat and what not to eat.

Have yahoo changed the typeface on this forum, I find some of the?

2009-08-08T17:41:00.002-07:00

question difficult to read. Yes I already have glasses.
Answer:
I found that awhile back.............................

Not that I noticed

Um. No. I think there's something wrong with your computer. Why don't you press CTRL+"+". Meaning press Ctrl and the plus sign on your keyboard. This increases the size of the fonts on websites

You can change it..go to View, and change the text size to large. Hope that helped.

Have u ever looked at food as your enemy? I have, and i almost died as a result of that. Could anyone else?

2009-08-08T17:41:00.001-07:00

SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE?
Answer:
Yes, I had eating disorders for years. It was horrible. I had a mantra at the time, the Latin phrase for "that which nourishes me, destroys me" and repeated it every time I went to eat. As a result I'm only 25 and have had a stroke, 2 heart attacks, ulcers, stomach infections, and lots of other problems.

I understand your statement of "food as an enemy", your not alone in having those feelings. I too almost died of complications due to an eating disorder. Recovery is a long process, and relapses are common. I suffered mostly from anorexia, but also had bulimic tendencies. I had cardiac arrhythmia, became anemic, and at 17 years of age I had a minor stroke. You just need to come to terms with your own mortality, take it one day at a time.

I have, and i still do. I don't know why. I hate looking at food and people eating, it makes me feel disgusting. i dont like fatness and i need to lose weight, so i shouldnt eat, but then when someone makes me eat i feel terrible after and i dont want to keep it inside me which makes me feel worse.

Have just bought an exercise trampoline, apart from bouncing what exercises can i do on it?

2009-08-08T17:41:00.000-07:00

it came with no exercise instructions. im happy to just jump but is there any proper things i should be doing??
Answer:
No need to do anything but bounce. It stimulates all the muscles in your body. You could run in place or do dance moves on it to music to make it more fun.

sex is always fun!

stair step exercises, jogging in place.

run on it while you watch tv, do jumping jacks, jump rope. just do anything to get your butt moving.

Be very careful, I had one and ended up jarring my knee a couple of times so I sold it.

the only thing a tram is good for is bouncing. Bounce up and down on your feet, on you butt, nothing else I am aware of.Not a good choice to lose weight with.

ha do 15 mins straight bouncing and you will feel like you just ran a marathon really it sounds easier than it is maybe lift dunbells while doing it but not much else its dangerous you could fall or something its great tho really

Why don't you throw the whole contraption over the fence of Wandsworth jail. Then some lags can "bounce" themselves out of...

Have i really found the magic diet?

2009-08-08T17:40:00.003-07:00

Hey everyone,I am 5' 3" and 110 lbs and I really need to lose weight (i know it doesn't sound fat but if you see me i really am....its weird). I am going on this diet will it work:Breakfast:
1 small egg white omlette (20 calories)
1/2 a grapefruit (30 calories)Lunch
1/1 a grapefruit (30 calories)
1 nutritious salad (10 calories)Dinner
tuna fish (40 calories)
fruit e.g. strawberry, peach etc (40 calories)
fat-free yogurt (30 calories)That's a total of 200 calories and I do 100 sit-ups, 200 leg raises before going to bed. Will this diet work? How long do I have to stick to this diet in order to lose 10 lbs. Thanks.
Answer:
You are not eating enough...and I don't think this is healthy...but you will lose 10lbs in about a month....I think.

I have a feeling that by limiting your calories to 200 per day your body will go int 'starvation mode' and you will not lose weight very quickly at all. You are better off just reducing your daily calorie intake and increasing your exercise. But honestly someone your size really doesnt need to lose weight.

You need about 1300 cal. a day, not 200. This diet is going to hurt you. You also need a larger variety of foods. You just can't eat the same food every day, because it is not healthy.

this diet is going to kill you. you are not eating enough food your bmr is about 1300 you should at least be eating 1000-1200 a day. you wont lose anything because your body will store everything as fat.

After 1 week on this diet, your body will go into starvation mode causing your muscles to eat themselves because there will be nothing for your body to burn for fuel. Your metabolism will shut down, and you will not lose anything after you lose maybe 10 lbs. This is not a healthy diet, and 200 calories is not enough for you. You should have 5 small meals a day of whole grain cerals and breads, fruits, nuts, vegetables, lean means, and low fat dairy products of at least 1200 calories. Limit your carbs and fats, and you will lose weight in a healthier way. Your weight is about right for your height. If you want to change the appearance of your body, then go for the exercises your mentioned. But you need to eat.

if you only eat 200 calories you will not have enough energy to exercise that much 200 calories is nt even close to enough of what your body needs weight lose is all about balance you can take in alot of calories as long as you burn them off

I don't think the calories are correct for the foods. And you couldn't survive on 200 calories. I think something like 1200 calories would be more appropriate. The food listed does look healthy though (just the number of calories seems really off). You may want to add a couple of light snacks if you are going to do much exercise.Losing about a pound a week is a reasonable goal. But 5'3" at 100 lbs seems too skinny to me. So don't go overboard! If I were you I would just focus more on toning than losing weight.Good luck!

No you will not loose weight, that sounds like the diet used to for heart patients when they need to drop 10 pounds in three days. It works for them because they are completly inactive, and they have liquids being pumped through them to keep their body well. If you do this, being that age, and being that active, you are seriously going to hurt yourself, and your body will go into a panic starvation mode. Your body will feed off your muscle first, then your fat, you really dont want that. Do the exercises before bed, eat a good meal every 3 hours, and drink nothing but water. Youd be surprised how fast weight will come off you, just because of how old you are.Seriously do not do that, a friend of mine did something similar to that, and ended up passing out right in the middle of a walk and almost really hurt himself due to his head hitting the ground so hard, if he had been on concrete or any hard surface he would have been seriously hurt. Luckily it was just on the grass and his head was cushioned a little. But he was still hurt either way. Dude seriously dont do that.

Have been treadmilling and eating well, ideas to help lose weight?

2009-08-08T17:40:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Eat a big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner. Also try bringing your lunch to work instead of eating out. Substitute water for soda (one a day to start with). Do interval workouts (work hard for one minute, rest for two minutes) instead of a steady amount on the treadmill. Start weight training because muscle burns more calories then fat.

Monitor your calorie intake; 2000-2500 is normal for most people.
Instead of treadmilling, why don't you go for a jog outside? Mark off a 1-mile path and run that.
Weight lifting can also help you lose weight. By building lean muscle, you allow yourself to burn off fat better.

You should eat LESS...not necessary to eat well.

Drink green tea and add apple vinegar to your salad. Avoid sweets and starches.

For the first person, 2000-2500 calories is what most people eat ***NOT*** on a diet. Eat 1200 calories-1500 calories ON a diet.

Have any one tried the Zone Diet? Is it better than the Akins?

2009-08-08T17:40:00.001-07:00

Answer:
Anything has to be better than Atkins!

Read tips %26 articles on different types of diets, exercise programs, yoga %26 much more....All about weight loss, weight watchers, Tea diets, easy home exercises to name a few

I think it's better to use the principles of both the eating plans and make healthy changes you can live with. I like this style of eating because I felt good eating a better balance of foods, and avoiding simple carbs. My advice is to incorporate what works for you and what you can live with. Don't call it a diet, call it healthy eating.

2009-08-08T17:39:00.002-07:00

Answer:
nope

Excersize works much better!
Its heathly too! :D

I found a great way to lose weight fast and keep it off. I do body cleansing. I lost 13 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. Cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurites come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives etc. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To shrink the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. To learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. Cleansing was good for me. Good luck whatever you decide to do!

Has anyone used hoodia with success?

2009-08-08T17:38:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Hoodia is the root of an African tree. It supposedly works by slightyly reducing appetite. However, the Hoodia sold in this country is MOST OFTEN fake and will do nothing for you but take your money. Even if you manage to get real Hoodia, the effects are minimal and you are not likely to notice any difference.

My mom takes hoodia and she's slowly but surely been losing weight.

Hi I have used it and i did lose a little weight but not enough for what it cost me. It has also been shown to cause possible high blood pressure in women which can be fatal. I lost about ten pounds in two months but it wasnt really worth it. I have switched to herbalife which is an all natural weight loss system and it works. It also doesnt cost me a fortune as it replaces a couple of meals each day so i save money on my food bills. I would stay away from Hoodia if I were you, I know there are plenty of people who have lost weight with it but its not worth the risk. If you want something that I know does work then try myhealthabc.com, its these guys I use now and I have lost 42 pounds in four months and I have cheated a few times!! The people are very helpful and guide you all the way through. I have definitely got value for money here. I hope this helps, Lucy

Has anyone try the 3 hr diet? Does it work?

2009-08-08T17:37:00.002-07:00

with the 3hr diet you eat every 3 hrs. has anyone hear about it?
Answer:
I've never heard it referred in that way before......but in the body building/fitness industry they like to eat more frequent smaller meals 3-5 hours apart.....the reason for this is that your body needs fuel to burn fat/cal..... and you think of it like every time you eat you are fueling that fire and keeping your body burning..... it is very effective...but you must eat the SMALLER portions each time you eat....eat according to what your activity level will be in the 3 hours following your meal.....

well, i havent heard of that

Has anyone tried the Slimin4 diet? Did it work? Is it worth the $27?

2009-08-08T17:37:00.001-07:00

Answer:
It's a scam just like all the fad diets. This one dehydrates you and cleans out your colon. Loosing that much in that short of a period is unhealthy and unsafe no matter what diet you do. The worst thing is you will gain all the weight and then some right back. If you are looking to loose weight, do it the right way and you will keep it off. Just exercise and cut out the fats, sugars, and some starches. Leave the soda and alcohol alone. Drink lots of water. And drink a 16 ounce glass of water before and during each meal. Dehydration is the number one cause for overeating. When you are dehydrated your body thinks it is hungry and you end up eating when all you needed was water.

Can you use Google?
Can you read?
Can you deduce that DIETS DO NOT WORK?
Can you read the statistics of people dead because of 'fad' diets?

please dont waste hard earned money
less food and more exercise would help you stay fit!!

Don't waste your money. Unfortunately the only thing that does the trick is eating right and exercising.

Has anyone tried the new smoking pill Chantix.?

2009-08-08T17:36:00.003-07:00

Has anyone tried the lemonade diet?

2009-08-08T17:36:00.002-07:00

Answer:
You mean the lemon cleanse, where you just drink lemon juice and water for a week?It's good for cleansing purposes, but don't use it for weight loss. When you go back to normal eating, you will gain everything back and then some. I suggest only using it to detox your body for spring.

no is there really a lemonade diet...haven't heard of that one yet...

There is no such thing as a cleansing diet. These ridiculous claims have no medical backing or proof. Anway. Do not do the lemonade or citrus or cabbage or any other ridiculous diet. If you want to be healthy and lose weight, you need to eat a sensible diet. That means portion control and eating lots of different types of foods. You will lose weight as long as your body burns off more calories then it consumes. Its that easy. Really! You can create a calorie deficit by increasing your activity level and reducing your total calories consumed.

Has anyone tried the Diet Pill Lipovox?

2009-08-08T17:36:00.001-07:00

Answer:
The claims they make made are absolutely ridiculous, and aren't justified by anything even remotely resembling scientific evidence. If you think Lipovox is the elusive magic pill that will allow you to eat whatever you want, never exercise and still shed the pounds, you may as well stop reading now. In fact, you may as well stop browsing the web, because it doesn't exist. It's hard to determine whether there is really anything important contained in the product because they don't reveal anywhere the "10 super secret ingredients" are actually in this product. That's highly disturbing to say the least. Any product manufacturer who does not have the confidence to reveal what his/her product contains should be viewed with some skepticism. My guess is that there is nothing of any importance contained in this expensive "magic pill."If you shop for such products in a health store or pharmacy or on the Internet, you'll find hundreds of different brands containing a confusing array of ingredients. You may be tempted to experiment with different diet aids until you find one that works. But this approach may be expensive. Karen Austin, a respected nutritional writer from Med Health Reports did a fantastic review on diet pills and their actual effectiveness in a recent feature, the results are quite surprising.

Do a search online and you won't find a lot positive about it from anybody bit those guys selling it.Stick with clinically proven products with money back guarantees.

Has anyone tried the dairy diet? And if so, is it effective?

2009-08-08T17:36:00.000-07:00

Most people have seen the commercials that advise you to drink 24 oz of milk a day, eat part skim cheeses, yogurt and so forth. I am looking for a safe and steady nutrition plan to be at my goal weight by sunmmer, and I was wondering if anyone has tried this high dairy diet and if it has worked, because I am considering trying it.
Answer:
I normally eat lots of low fat dairy but last month I did't and I had the worst pmt and no energy and just generally felt sluggish. Low fat dairy is a great source of protein which fills you up for longer and gives you energy. Low fat dairy has also been proven to coat the bowel with calcium (nice!) which means you only absorb half the fat in your diet so this is a very sensible diet as long as you eat plenty of fruit, veg and grains and pulses. Good luck.

I have never tried it but I would assume it would work pretty well. I know milk is an appetite supressant. But make sure you eat some fruits and veggies too. All that dairy can make you constipated.

Had a lot of runs..................found out i was lactose intolerant..........my friend tried it too lost 26pounds in 5 weeks........

They recommend people to drink that much milk because it does have a lot of calcium but you can get a lot of calcium if you eat a better salad with Dinosaur Kale and other darker green leafy veggies like thin dark greener leafy lettuces (Romaine), Red leaf Lettuce, Green leaf lettuce, Dandelions, Spinach, etc........ all in one meal!! Most people use watercress lettuce for salads and although it does have a lot of water it is recomended to eat green leaf veggies for nutrients and vitamins that lettuce does not carry.A good replacement for milk is Dinosaur Kale or Kale juice if you have a juicer............and remember not to forget to eat color veggies and fruits like carrots, beets, tomatoes, potatoes, cilantro, parsley, Italian parsley, mint, etc..... They unlike milk will provide you with everything but the fat. Animal fat is needed but not as much and the other reason they recomend milk like any other diet because:They think you will have a balance diet including fiber foods, fruits, veggies, all types of meats, nuts.They expect you to do aerobic exercise for at least 30 minutes daily (you should also do an-aerobic exercise to maintain endurance, strenght, good health at least a couple days out of the week).Assuming that you are getting a good diet and exercise you should also get plenty of sleep.......before it was believed that kids should get 8 hours but if you talk to experts now days is recomended for them to get 10-12 hours and us grown ups 8-10 hours but since most people have stress lives only get about 6-8 so don't feel bad if you get less than 8 hours of sleep but do try to accomodate your daily work so that you can get more sleep.I hope this helps you get a more healthy perspective of what is good for any diet and don't go by the general idea of what works. You can loose weight doing pretty much anything but what they don't tell you is if it is recomended for helthy resons or just to ignorantly loose weight and later find yourself in a unhealthy way of living. Poor diet, lack of sleep and unproper excercise could land you in depression!!Good luck!!

Has anyone tried the Abs Diet from MensHealth?

2009-08-08T17:35:00.003-07:00

The reason why i ask is because i want to know if it would still be affective if i did the ab workouts seperate from the full body workout rather than one right after the other.
Answer:
No problem; I do them seperately, at different times because for me to work on my abs is REALLY difficult and a PAIN so I try to do ABS when I do my cardio and therefore I don't feel so exhausted and I have energy to work effectively on my abs.The diet is WONDERFUL, I highly recommend it, and you'll start seeing results in less than two weeks.Best of luck!

You will need both a diet and resistance exercises to get big abs. Your body uses your abs for almost every exercise, it is the core of your strength. You can do a ab workout alone, but you will want to incorporate other workouts during the time you NEED to take off to recuperate from these types of workouts. Work your abs for a week and then take a week off. Also, other exercises will make your body look more proportionate.

Has anyone tried the AB LOUNGE? Does it work?

2009-08-08T17:35:00.002-07:00

Answer:
Yes I have it, it works. It's a lot easier so you feel the burn in your stomach faster without the stress of doing a sit up. However you're more compelled to take rests and breaks in between, haha. If you go to fast on it (for me) I tend to get a headache cause my head is resting on the lounge and its going up and down really fast. When you don't work out on it, it makes a nice napping chair!

personally, i think its a gimmick. just do sit ups on your floor or get a declined ab bench. stuff like that is stupid. do cardio and slim down on your eating habbits

Save your money, it's just another gimmick. You don't need some mechanical device for abs, just a good routine.

yes i have one and it works great!!!

My daughter (15) uses hers and likes it. She says that it makes crunches less stressing on her back.

i have an ab lounge..when i use it keeps me in shape..but you have to keep up on it..but ya to answer the question..they do work i can tell you that..you start to feel a difference within the first few weeks..or at least i did

It works if you stick with it

dont take this the wrong way, cos im not braggin or anythin, but i have abs and im 23. have had abs for about 5 years. you know how i got them? it had nothing to do with whiz bang ab machines. the best way to get abs is to do heaps of cardio to burn away fat, so your abs are exposed. also strict diet helps. oh an you cant beat situps, crunches and crunches on a fitball (those giant inflated balls) goodluck!

YES! Love it! It does a great job at supporting your neck so you don't end up with sore abs and neck :) Makes the work a lil easier, but you can still feel the burn you need in your abs

yes, i just got one 2 weeks ago and i think it is doing great..... i was doing sit ups and crunches on the floor before and i'm not getting any lower back pain like i did before

hey.
I have the ablounge and for me personally it works. I have been working out on it every morning and night for about 30 minutes each time and for me it really burns and works.

Has anyone tried the 3 day fruit flush diet by jay robb?

2009-08-08T17:35:00.001-07:00

and ..ifyou did, how much weight did you lose and what happened afterwards?
Answer:
I need 2 points!

No I hadn't heard of it. Sounds interesting though.

I didn't, but I want to... does it work? Message me and let me know how to do it if anyone knows! :)

yeah! but i only did it 4 a lil' while i only wanted 2 lose a lil' weight[ i lost 10lbs :) ] nothing i lost it %26 i wus glad :D

Fad diets just do not work.Eat only when hungry and that too not more than three times a day. Include uncooked fruits and vegetables in ur food. Take nothing but water in between the meals.Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This improves digestion besides activating ur brain telling u that u have had enough.Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.U will achieve ur ideal weight in a reasonable time period effortlessly.

I have not tried that... but I did switch to 6 small meals a day with lots of fresh fruit and vegies, no fast food, no fried food. I dropped 35 pounds in 10 weeks and continue to lose. It is all about controlling your intake and increasing your activity.best of luck!

Has anyone tried P90X exercise program?

2009-08-08T17:35:00.000-07:00

If so, did it give you great results?
Answer:
Yes, I have tried P90X. I've been doing it for over a month. So far, I've lost an inch off of my waist (39.5" to 38.5") and have gained an inch back to my arms (17.5", I think). If you're interested in the muscle gain, my results are mostly the result of "muscle memory". I used to train a lot and then allowed myself to get out of shape. So, getting back to my old size is fairly "easy" as it originally took me 3 years to gain 60lbs of muscle. I never had to worry about losing fat but now that's exactly what I'm working on. I've leared that losing fat is tough, with any program. It takes time, patience, and DISCIPLINE. You have to stick to a quality nutritional plan (notice I didn't say "diet" here).. You have to adhere to a quality exercise routine. You have to allow adequate recovery and so forth. Of course, these are NOT bad things, they are part of a healthy lifestyle. That's my goal. Healthy. Strong. Great physique. Well conditioned. Flexible. The whole gamut.I actually liked P90X enough to create a website about it. The website is www.P90Xreview.com. It's not quite finished but I probably have enough information for you to decide whether it's worth your time or not. Hope this helps.P.S. If you check out my website and find it valuable, please let me know through a short email. I'd like to know if people are actually benefitting from it or not. Thanks and happy fitness success!

I haven't, but have plans to do so. There are people who have and have reported excellent results. I would be interested in knowing how many people who start the program are actually "succesful". The resources shown have some feedback on the P90X.

Has anyone tried Nutrisystem and does it work?

2009-08-08T17:34:00.003-07:00

If so how long before you see results?
Answer:
All diets work in the same way. If they restrict calories to a point where you are burning more than you eat, you will lose weight. If the diet does this than it will work, if not you will fail. Whether or not a diet is healthy is separate from whether or not it will work. If you severely restrict calories to under 1200 per day, you will lose weight but going this route is very unhealthy so be careful when reading about these diets. Also beware of diets that limit you to one food. Even if you are taking in a good amount of calories, you won't be able to get all the vitamins, nutrients, fat, carbohydrates or protein from just one type of food. Guide to Dieting - http://straighthealth.com/pages/guides/d...

My friend tried, she bought the 1st two weeks, but the food was dehydrated, and she couldnt eat it.

I'm into week 2 with a 0.4 lb weight loss, nothing you can see The food taste sucks I load mine up with chile peppers so that I can eat it, If it wasn't for the chiles I couldn't eat most of it I don't do all of it I can't eat that much
Hope your luck is better than mine

Has anyone tried Hoodia patches and if so what results have you had?

2009-08-08T17:34:00.000-07:00

Answer:
Sorry this is just more useless junk, just designed to help you loose 拢s not lbs!We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don't do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don't use them up!A healthy amount of exercise is 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?I have also seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch! IT JUST DOESN'T WORK!

it made me smell like a turtle

Excelent Dr. Frank!Could not have said it better myself.

Has anyone tried Curves - fitness/weight loss? if so was it effective?

2009-08-08T17:33:00.000-07:00

Answer:
Yes and no - depends on where you are - if you are a beginner it is a good way to begin but I didn't like it. The routine is too slow and you face other people on the circuit which I didn't like. You don't know where to look, like being in an elevator! ha ha
I changed to Bally's and got a few training sessions. Liked it a lot better, showed me what to do and I stuck to it.
You can also do exercises at home, I love Billy Blanks and jumping rope, that made a difference in one week! (as long as you also eat healthy). Good for you for thinking healthy!!

yes my wife did this she lost 165 lbs on weight watchers and bye going to curves 5 days a week

I went to Curves, I wasn't overweight but I wanted to lose inches. It worked for me. I lost 4 inches around waist and toned legs, arms and butt. I enjoyed it.

I actually liked it. I was a member for 1 1/2 years but because of my health, I didn't use it as much as I should have. There is very upbeat music, you exericse on a machine for so many seconds, then you walk, dance, jog, whatever you want on a mat next to the next machine for so many seconds, then you go to the next machine. My Curves had 12 machines and they recommend you do the circuit twice, then they give you slow down exercises. I was diagnosed with RA and just wasn't able to do a lot of the machines and it actually increase my fatigue. I think it is a good idea.

well it works, but it depends how dedicated you are... you just need to find any kind of exercise for 30 mintues day for at least 3 days a week. and eat healthier

Has anyone tried any kind of Hoodia product for suppressing your appetite? Which one really works?

2009-08-05T22:47:00.001-07:00

There are so many different kinds and so many website claiming one brand is fake, another isn't, and so on. I want to hear a REAL testimonial about a specific Hoodia product.
Answer:
I've heard the same thing too!!! I just asked my friends today about that.. I saw the commercial for the HOODIA PATCH.. and it caught my eye.
What made me think about it was that I saw a documentary on it on pbs , where the men in Africa eat the Hoodia plant, and it gives them energy and suppress thier appetite for days at a time..Hope someone has tried it to give a testimonial!!! :)

well i have tried every diet and supplement out on the market. i started nutrsystem 13 days ago and i have lost 17 pounds. the food is not that awful and if you just get a month then you will know how to prepare your meals for as long as it takes to be at your goal weight. i am very happy about my results. my mother started at the same time with me and she has lost 11 pounds herself. she petite and has only 30 pounds to loose but i on the other hand would like to loose 100. good luck in whatever you choose. but it really works and i was the biggest sceptic and even thought about lipo before i started.

I have tried HoodiThin. It's a liquid and you take dropper fulls. It was a joke. Did nothing for me except leave a bad taste in my mouth. I think it is just the next gimmick to get us to buy use less diet products.

Rach:I don't have a personal testimony for you, but I can share some information I've been able to dig up after studying the hoodia industry and researching hoodia diet supplements the past year.You are totally correct when you say there is so much conflicting information out there about hoodia diet pills. The reality is, the majority of the hoodia supplements available today are fake - meaning they contain very little, if any, hoodia gordonii. A study was done last year by a consumer advocacy group where they tested 17 of the most popular hoodia brands and only 6 were shown to have authentic hoodia gordonii! Over 60% of them were fake! One nutrition expert from the group said that he suspects the failure rate of hoodia products is likely closer to 80%!That advocacy group recommends (and actually endorses) Hoodoba Pure as it was one of the 6 that passed the test. The other brand they recommended was Desert Burn - another brand that passed the test.From my own experience of visiting numerous weight loss forums to get dieters feedback on hoodia supplements, these are the same two products that get mentioned as being the "most effective" at suppressing appetite. In addition, I spoke with a Dr. who has been recommending Desert Burn to his weight loss patients and they've had tremendous success with it. I've provided a link below to an article about this Dr.'s experience with Desert Burn and how it's been a great weight loss aid for his patients.I've provided another link below to full reviews of Desert Burn and Hoodoba Pure. They are the only two products that I would recommend based on my research. Finally, keep in mind that not everyone responds to hoodia diet pills. So even if you try a real product like Desert Burn or Hoodoba, it still may not work for you.Best of luck to you.Travis

Has anyone tried Advaslim diet pill does it work and any side effects?

2009-08-05T22:47:00.000-07:00

Answer:
What's the number one enemy of every diet? You've guessed it: hunger. Losing weight is much more effective when there is a way to defeat hunger. Advaslim is the answer: its specially formulated chitosan expands in your stomach's acidic environment and creates a feeling of fullness - so you can eat less and reduce your caloric intake. Plus, Advaslim's calcium pyruvate and commiphora mukul extract will help boost your fat burning metabolism gently and safely, as well as achieve and maintain a healthy cholesterol and triglycerides level. Advaslim increases your diet's effectiveness and helps you lose weight quickly, easily, and safely.Simply a Better Alternative for Weight LossUnlike other diet supplements, Advaslim does not contain any stimulants such as caffeine, guarana, ephedra (ma huang), or ephedrine-like compounds. It has no unwanted side effects, such as the jitters or nervousness.Advaslim can also help you learn proper portion control: in addition to losing weight, you want to be able to keep it off - this means watching what and how much you eat. With Advaslim, you can learn to eat smaller portions without going hungry, so you can lose the weight and keep it off!

yup

Has anyone taken the diet pill relacore?

2009-08-05T22:46:00.003-07:00

How did it work for you? Did you lose weight and belly fat and feel better and less stressed out like the product claims?
Answer:
I did...I personally didn't see a difference. I was going through a stressful time happened to gain weight and when I heard about it this product I thought it was key! (and just in time). I didn't feel any different, and I didn't look any different when taking it. I actually tried it twice...both times--nothing. So who knows. I just know it didn't work for me. But honestly, there is no magic pill. If you are stressed there are alternative ways to relieve stress that you should look into, and as for belly fat, you have to watch what you eat and exercise. Simple as that.

How did it work??
Answer:
Chantix has allowed many people to stop smoking with few if any side effects. For more information about Chantix, click the following link: http://www.121doc.co.uk/affiliate/script...

A number of folks in the respiratory forum tried it

I work at a group home, and one of our clients just started it. Its working good, she says she can notice a change in her cravings already. The first week of taking it she's suppose to smoke like regular, then stop the second week, and get rid or wash everything that smells like smoke. Its a 3-6 month program that will help with the cravings while you try to cope with the things like hand and mouth addition.

2009-08-05T22:46:00.000-07:00

I am looking to perhaps start some type of support group for post-op people after the gastric bypass surgery. Support groups help alot of people.
Answer:
I had gastric bypass surgery in April 2005. I started out at 268, now I鈥檓 180 and holding. These links will help you in many ways to make a decision if this is for you or not. I vote yes, because it made such a difference in my life. I was taking 8 pills a day, and after my surgery, I lost my diabetes. The way they do the surgery, takes your diabetes away. I no longer have to take glucophage, and I no longer have high Cholesterol or high blood pressure. I鈥檓 down to 2 pills a day. I went from a size 26-28 to a 16-18.

I really researched my surgeon, and I made a wise choice. Always get a surgeon that has done at least 200 of these surgeries. Get someone with a lot of experience, and you will do well.

http://www.cmch.org/profile-pilkington.h...
You just can鈥檛 find a better surgeon than him! He鈥檚 probably done at least 500 of the surgeries, so far. I did so well after my surgery, I thank him every time I see him.
I made it to 175! It's been almost 2 years since my surgery. I haven't had any complications at all with my surgery! My health has been very good, and I've lost the weight nice and slow, so my body doesn't look that much out of shape. I've been faithfully taking my vitamins, and my blood work came back excellent! I still think very highly of Dr. Pilkington, and would recommend to anyone thinking of this surgery, to have Dr. Pilkington as his or her surgeon. I'm walking proof, that he is an excellent doctor. I just spoke to another patient of his who told me she had a very good experience with him, and she is in excellent health, as well. He is a very caring doctor. I live in Florida in the winter. I see alot of folks down there because of my job, and I see people from all over the USA and overseas. Since my surgery, I've talked to lots of others that have had the surgery in Florida, and some of them didn't do as well, and I tend to think it's because their doctors weren鈥檛 as competent as mine. I feel that part of how you do, is because of your general health and attitude. The other major part is how good your doctor is.
