Weight Loss Tips and Good Diets?

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

A diet tips question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: I’m overweight. Around 5ft 4" and around 160lbs. Im going to canada in 2 years and i want to drop from a size 14 to a size 8. I want to start getting the weight off now so that i can keep it off and get in to the habbit of keeping it off. So basically i need a load of tips and diet ideas that are proven to work really well. Im hoping you lovely people have something for me :D.
Oh by the way please don’t comment about it being an unhealthy idea as i’m going to do it gradually.
Answer: count calories
do NOT eat carbs (bread, pasta, rice, cereal)
go on a 1-hour walk EVERY day

Eat mostly greens and vegetables (raw is better), 1-2 fruits a day, lean protein throughout the day, a pinch of sea salt (can be added to a salad), and nuts and healthy oils in moderation. healthy oils are: olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, flaxseed oil… you do NEED some sea salt/Himalayan salt and healthy oils in your diet to stay healthy, but they are high in calories, so eat in moderation.

Use stevia or raw honey to sweeten things up, instead of using sugar or artificial sweeteners!

things that speed up metabolism:
vitamin B12 and vitamin B3
raising pH level (less acidity in the body)
eating some lean protein throughout the day
1 tablespoon of coconut oil (google for more info)
drinking plenty of water daily!
exercise

If the cruise if like next week, you could go on a green smoothie and vegetable juice fast (google "victoria boutenko family" for more info on that! Also, youtube "Dr. Jonny Bowden" for more information on diet, based on scientific facts!! (I know that he says in one of this videos that calories aren’t the main issue when it comes to weight-loss, but it is still very important, so make sure you are counting the calories too!! just make sure you eat HEALTHY foods)

make Green Smoothies!! (recipes on youtube)…. they are healthy and nutritious!

Diet Weight Loss Tips?

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

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.

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.

Good Diet Foods and Weight Loss Tips?

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

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

Question: I’m on a diet just to lose about 10-15 pounds within the next few months. I’ve been working out a little but I’m a stay-at-home mother so it’s hard to really get out of the house and go jogging frequently. Any foods/recipes or dieting tricks and tips that will help me lose some weight?

Thank you! :)

Answer: It’s tough when you have to juggle free time and the kids. Kudos to you for doing a job that many don’t realize is not easy.

Depending if you have decent financial freedom, you could invest in a stationary bike, or a treadmill. The only dieting trick I know of is to control the amount of calories you intake, and stay away from deep fried foods. Eating organic foods is always helpful. If you read food labels, you’ll notice the majority of foods on our store shelves have artificial ingredients, monosodium glutamate…all that stuff won’t help with anything that has to do with a healthy diet. I struggled with weight up until about 4 years ago. I’m 5′8, and I was 207 lbs. Within a year and a half, I was able to drop down to 160 lbs. However, I was fortunate to have the luxury of enough time to run a swim a lot. I included grapefruit in my diet, which is claimed to help a lot with weight loss. But i’m not sure if it helped, since I was exercising a lot. I was always informed that if I took any medication, I needed to check with my physician before adding grapefruit into my daily diet because it could have a negative reaction. So if you decide to try grapefruit, and you take medication, check with your doc to see if it’s okay! Good luck!

I Need Some Dieting/weight Loss Tips?

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

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

Question: I had my son nearly 9 weeks ago. I was about 125 pounds pre-pregnancy and the day I went into labor, I weighed in at 180 pounds. Here we are, 9 weeks later, and I’m about 148. I’m breastfeeding, which seems to have helped in the beginning, however, I have about 20 pounds that I need to drop. How can I speed up the process? Any tips?

By the way, I’m 5′6 if that matters at all. Thanks. :)

Answer: Of course the typical thing you can do is increase cardio activity. It really depends on your diet now. If not already, try to incorporate banana’s, oranges and multi-saily vitamins. Fruits have sugars and vitamins that can help metabolism speed up slowly, but surely. Another GOOD thing you can consume is oatmeal, have a bowl of oatmeal(raw or microwaveable) a couple days a week. It will help you get GOOD carbs that will help you keep up with cardio workouts and helps build a fat burning metabolism, not to mention it also provides fiber.

-Walking/jogging 3-4 days a week for atleast 20-30 mins eachtime.
-Light free-weights/machines at the gym 2-3 days a week(like 5-15Ib dumbbells) to help burn arm fat.

Diet will be the biggest factor. But of course cardio and physical activity is critical. DON’T starve yourself like some women do to lose weight. Just simply reduce or extract what you know is not healthy in your diet.

I bet you will notice a difference in your weight within 2 weeks after implementing this diet, exercise and messing with your diet(in a good way).
Good luck, and hope this helped.
