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

Answer: Try and eat 1,200-1,400 calories everyday.

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

Breakfast: Eggs with an orange, Whole grain cereal, or oatmeal

Snack: Fruit or veggies

Lunch: Salad with soup, turkey sandwich (whole grain bread)

Snack: Almonds with yogurt

Dinner: Chicken and veggies

Try and keep carbs to 130, and protein to about 30%

Has Anyone Got Any Good Dieting Tips Please?

Filed under: diet tips — Tags: appearance, balanced diet, dance student, dieting tips, eating habits, exercise, healthy foods, self confidence — Ruby @ 7:01 am

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
