Cant Quite Pull This Fasting Liquid Only Diet Off. Tips, B Nice Now!?

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

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

Question: In the middle of the night, I am in a trance and I admit food psychologically reduces my anxiety/stress. I can control it in the day when I am "awake" but not during the middle of the night. I have packed our house with healthy food so it is not like I am eating a box of ice cream :), but anyway, besides nailing up the kitchen door or taping the frig shut with duck tape, ha ha any ideas?? Thanks! Afraid of drinking too much liquids before bed because, well you know.
Answer: Hang on, you mean you sleep-eat?

But a liquid only diet sounds terribly bad for you, sure it might help you lose weight but it will probably do damage in the long run.

Quick Diet Challenge Tips?

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

Question: Im trying to lose 25 pounds quickly, in the most semi-safe way. I’m going to eat 1,000 calories of healthy food a day, and 6 days a week I use my exercise bike for a half hour, and walk for a half hour on the treadmill at a fast pace. Sense I’m not eating a whole lot of calories, I dont want to exhaust myself working out.

I dont need to hear that i’m not eating enough calories; or that I’ll gain it all back. I’v heard and understood that. my only question is, how long will it take me to lose 25 pounds?

(f) 4′11, 125 pounds. and if you’re not my height, you need to understand that I’m not reaching or have any goals that are too extreme. When you’re as little as me, 125 looks like a wholleeee lot. and i do have a tummy that has just got to go. So please, no negative comments. I plan on gaining a lot of muscle once I shape up a little, and go on a rather different diet. But like i said, can you tell me off this diet, how much time will it take me to lose 25 pounds?

Thank you & god bless

Answer: Awww! We’re like sisters! I’m the same height and around the same weight! My weight has always fluctuated though depending on how obsessive I am about it.

But, from years of obsessing about weight and diet and whatnot, I will shut up about all the things I think you’re doing wrong, BUT I do have some positive diet TIPS for you that will help!

Drink 2 glasses of ice water AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP! That’s a supermodel trick apparently! I tried it and, within a week, my clothing was looser, my complexion improved dramatically, and people even complimented me on how "refreshing" I looked! Also, drink a glass of water before every meal! Ice water is best because it has 0 calories and your body burns calories simply trying to warm up the water inside your body! Make sure to eat a lot of WHOLE/COMPLEX foods because, again, the body burns more calories just trying to break down those foods!

I used to know the formula for figuring out how long it would take to lose 25 lbs, but, girl, it really does depend on the intensity of your workout.

Good luck! :)

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.

I Really Really Need Some Hardcore Dieting Tips & Advice! I Need to Lose 60-70lbs!! HELP!!!?

Another diet tips question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: **please read**

I was signed to a record label in the beginning of the year and recorded my 1st EP. I was told my songs as well as me as an artist will not be released until I lost weight. I was 260lbs in the beginning of the year and now I am 209, so I lost 51lbs so far. I had a meeting with my manager, producers.&president of the label last night and they told me it wasn’t good enough & that I should have lost atleast 100 by now. They also told me that if I dont lose 60 by the fall they are going to shelf my music. I’ve had alot of money invested in me & im feeling guilty now that I couldnt reach the goal i was told I needed to.

I had a nutritionist & a personal trainer given to me but now I no longer have access to them. But I am not working and have all day everyday to focus on my weight loss. I have a gym membership and live right down the street from 2 tracks and one is huge with bleachers. I also have $$ to buy all the healthy food I need so $ really isnt an issue (for now atleast).

SO I reallly REALLY NEED HELP! Does anyone know how I can lose between 60-70 in the next 3 months?? I know it can be doen Iv seen it done before on tv shows and coworkers & friends of mine (but i dont talk to them anymore)

I really need to do this bc this is an oppurtunity of a lifetime that i DONT WANT TO PASS UP bc off being overweight! & of course I want & need to be healthier too!

SO does anyone know how many calories a day they eat on the biggest loser& how many hours a day they workout? I know its something like 4-7hours a day which Im willing to do.

SO if i ate 1200 cals a day all natural and healthy foods and worked out 4-7 hours a day whaddya think???

I’m 5′6 209lbs 22yrs old female

PLEASE HELP & PLEASE DONT BE RUDE I HAD ENOUGH COMMENTS ALREADY! :(

thanks so much for reading & i apologize for any typos

Exercise for about an hour or two a day. add in weights (ex: ankle weights)

Advice and Tips for Healthy Diet?

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

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: So I am trying to lose some weight and I am not interested in these long torturing diets, I simple need advice what is the best to eat in terms of healthy food? I eat vegetables, fruits, I drink a lot of water, I stop drinking coffie or only once per day, I drink a lot of tea? What do you recomnd?
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
