Quick Tips, Advice About Diet and Exercise?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , , — Ruby @ 7:02 am

Keep the diet tips questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: I am 19 yrs old and weigh 155 lb.

I am about to be a sophomore in college and last year is when i gained my extra weight. I started college weighing 140 lb.

Plain and simple…how can I shed this extra fat in a healthy manner that will not be too difficult to maintain with school about to start and all.

Thanks so much!

oh and btw i need to ease into working out i havent gone running in about 4 yrs. how can i get healthy again and gain my stamina?

Answer: Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

You can always eat negative calorie foods to lose weight.

Below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

These foods don’t actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself.

For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients.

Negative Calorie Fruits:
apples
cranberries
grapefruit
lemons
mangoes
oranges
pineapple
raspberries
strawberries
tangerines

Negative Calorie Vegetables:
asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrots
cauliflower
celery
Chile peppers (hot)
cucumber
dandelions
endives
garden cress
garlic
green beans
lettuce
onions
papaya
radishes
spinach
turnips

Diet Weight Loss Tips?

What a great diet tips question:

Question: hi there i dont really need to loose weight as im a size 8 but i want to tone around my middle i do the right exercise but am a bit stuck on healthy food i do all the fruit for lunch etc but i need to know main meals for dinner in the evening which are very low calorie any help would be great :)
Answer: After spine surgery I gained 60 plus lbs. From family being nice and giving me all the things I wanted. From the surgery I could not exercise and walking was a chore. So with spine damage and no chance at exercise I remembered what my high school coach told me.
“It calorie in and calorie burned” The way to burn weight is burn more than you take in. If you do this you will loose weight. So I counted calories and I nearly starved.
I started reading the diets out there. Atkins and south beach. Tried Atkins and lost weight. After loosing several lbs I shared the diet with friends and it worked for them as well. One fellow went from size 48 to 38 pants, stopped taking BP medication and stopped taking diabetes medication. Ate eggs and bacon for breakfast and life was good. I just had trouble holding to the diet. In time I gained the weight back. After the yo-yo dieting and radical eating soups and such, I started to do the common sense diet.
I found something that works and I plan to write a book on it. In the mean time I am will to share this much. The more your bowels work the better you will feel. Turn your diet into a high fiber diet and the more you eat the more you will loose. I find that “Total” raisin Bran will speed your digestion. So eat two or three bowel per day. Salads of fresh veggies will help as well. Yes, use dressing of some type and you need fats. Whole milk, (have documentation to prove it). And Metamucil in the mornin and after noon will help clean your bowels and keep you going. In time you will be able ot eat most any thing you like (as long as it makes you poop) and eat all you like. Things like steak with fat and good cuts of meat. Stay away from burgers and processed foods. Chicken meat and good cuts of pork are OK.
If you snack at night eat the Raisin bran and it will move you in the morning. No white bread, high grain breads are OK.
You need to eat 5 or 6 times per day. From early morning on. Eat small meals and in the am add fresh fruits.
I promise you will loose weight and in time start feeling much better. I have given this info to many people and all have lost weight,. None have had medical problems from it.

I wish you the best.

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

What a great diet tips question:

Question: Basically what it says above.
Just some tips so my stomach can become more toned, flat and everything haha.
I’m a teenage girl by the way.
All advice welcome :)
Answer: changing your diet to only healthy foods is the best thing you can do and will ensure you will lose excess fat, if combine with walking every day , especially. Also, you will feel much better mentally.

you can eat how much you like if you stay within these 3 guidelines and still lose fat naturally and gradually. You should lose 10lbs each month on average.

1.eat only steamed lean meats, eggs, healthy fruits ,vegetables, nuts, lentils or dried beans (provide much "lean" protein) , grains (Asian basmati or jasmine rice gives lots of energy and can be found at your local oriental/asian market or some super markets), & yogurt..2. drink only water, juice, & milk..3. walk or do some physical exercise 1-3 hour every day.

(btw, recommend you also to buy an electronic food steamer and a rice cooker ((Both Very cheap)) .which, used together make it very easy to prepare very nutritional, healthy meals ,,add a bit of olive oil , diced garlic, pepper, sliced lemon and spices on top of steamed vegetables, fish or chicken to add more taste if wish as these are very healthy for your body too.)

Best Weight Loss Tips? Diet or Exercise or Anything?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

A tough diet tips question this week. Let’s dive straight in

Question: thanks :)
Answer: Honestly, it takes self will and perseverance. Nothing else.
Of course exercise helps too haha. But you have to have the mind sight of how much you really want to lose the weight.

For lunches, eat grapefruit (with no added sugar) and drink water. Grapefruit diet really does work, I don’t care what anyone tells you it’s the truth. Just stay away from HEAVY calorie food such as rootbeer floats, chocolate sundaes, mcdonalds and eat less junk foods.
I wish you the luck of the world….I really hope you strive your goal, and go through with it. I did it last summer and lost 98 pounds. Make sure you have music to listen to, and running really helps.

Any Healthy Diet Tips for a 16 Year Old Girl for the Summer?

Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:

Question: I really feel like I need to lose weight especially since both my parents are overweight. I’m deathly afraid of ending up like my parents when I grow up, and I know that the eating habits I develop now will follow me in the future. This summer I’m determined to lose weight, and keep it off. Any tips on how to keep the case of the munchies down will be helpful since I’ll be spending most of my time at home now. I’m 5′5 and don’t really now how much I should weigh so information on that is needed. I’ve tried researching diet and exercise tips, but they all lead me to buy something that I don’t really know will even work. I would appreciate healthy diet and exercise tips to start off on, and I would like some foods that can help me with my anxiety and depression. I’ve heard that there are some foods that tend to trigger anxiety, so I would like to know to stay away from it as much as possible. Thank you for your time, and I will give 10 points for the best answer.
Answer: I lost over 20 lbs at 16. I was never over weight, I was 5"3, alot shorter than you so dont worry. I weighed 135 as my personal highest and 6 months later, everyone noticed. I looked like a different person. (although I was also going through many life changes and stress) which probably added on to my weight loss. I joined the local gym, no personal trainer needed, and worked my a** off. I walked to the gym and back, 1/2 a mile each way, worked out, and walked back home. After a few months of doing this DAILY, i saw results. After all that, I still work out and eat healthier. I was finally 115 lbs. Throw out alll the junk food crap in your house and stock your house w. all new, healthier, even organic food. Fruit and vegies will be your new best friend. And you can also talk to your parents about this, they’ll understand. it will be so worth it in the end, its gonna be tough, but if you stick your mind to it, youll be good :)

Why Are DIETS So Hard. I Lose Weight then Gain It Right Back…..ANYONE Have a Successful Diet [ADVICE & TIPS]?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: , , , , , — Ruby @ 7:01 am

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: I know you have to cut calories and exercise more which is what I did; but I got exhausted on the treadmill. So what should I do?

How’d you lose weight?

NO ADVERTISING or you’ll be REPORTED and lose POINTS!!!!!!!

Answer: I maintain my body by working out 6 days a week with cardio and weight training. I also eat 6 meals a day 3 healthy main meals and 3 healthy snacks. You need to add weight training because that builds lean muscle which helps in burning fat, the more lean muscle you have the more fat you burn. Also dont weigh yourself because if you build muscle then you weigh more so instead you should measure your waist and you will see your results because your waist will get smaller. A lot of people I know have used "body for life" and it worked for them and they still use it. Me personally I just kind of did my own thing and im in pretty good shape. Check out body for life from what I understand its pretty simple and the friends of mine that used it say you dont really need the supplements they recommend but the diet and exercise plan work great.

Has Anyone Got Any Good Dieting Tips Please?

I just love answering these diet tips questions. Here’s another:

Question: Okay so I’m not fat but I do have a bit of a belly that I’ve always hated. I suffer from low self-confidence and this is not helped by the fact that I’m not comfortable with my appearance. I did really well before I went on holiday but as soon as I came back I just fell back into old eating habits, and to be honest it’s made me feel really rubbish. I do eat a balanced diet and eat healthy foods etc.. drink 2 litres of water a day and I am a dance student, so I get plenty of exercise as well.

Just wondering if anyone has anything they could recommend if they have lost a considerable amount of weight themselves? Thank you in advance! :-)

Answer: The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc.

first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is very bad for overall health.

if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose around 10 pounds (.714 stone) per month until you get to your natural healthy weight.. look up on the internet for an idea of what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

10 pounds (.714 stone ) each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds (2 stones, 2 pounds)..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well
