Diet Discovery

I need to lose weight but it’s hard when you don’t know any diets or workouts that work. I don’t eat a lot and I do go to the gym but I need a diet and workout that helped people lose weight., thanks in advance!

I have read good things about the paleo diet (caveman diet), but you have to have a strong enough will power to do it. Also with that diet you have to really watch everything you eat to make sure you are getting enough vitamins.

I don’t use this diet though, I just eat healthy, but I have no "forbidden" foods. It is easier to stick with a diet when you don’t feel like you can’t eat your favourite foods. I still have ice cream and sweets, but in moderation.

you should also make sure you are getting enough calories, to few calories an cause weight gain because your body thinks it is starving and will store anything you eat as fat.

Drink lots of water. No more pop if you are serious about losing weight fast.

For working out, anything that gets your heart rate up is good. Some people can handle the mundane running on a treadmill, or running out side. Others prefer more engaging activities like zumba or boxing. Try a few different thing to see what you like.

Don’t forget to do weight training. Big muscles increase metabolism.

Good luck!

Due to fatigue and constipation, I recently started a new alkaline diet plan. I am having trouble planning meals and figuring out which foods I should eat and which ones to avoid with this new diet. If I am changing my life with the alkaline diet plan, I want to be sure to do it right. I need suggestions and tips to stay on track with my diet.

An alkaline diet can be very tricky and confusing until you get on track. Salad is always a good idea for this diet. Try to find dark leafy greens to add to your salad rather than iceburg lettuce. Iceburg lettuce does not have as high of a nutrient content. Furthermore, try some fresh fruit with your salad or as a snack. Fruits are a great choice for a high alkaline diet, as they are high in fiber. Fiber rich foods will help with your constipation.

In order to keep acid levels down in vegetables, be sure to not overcook them. High alkaline foods are better when eaten raw or steamed. If you overcook the food, it could turn acidy. Next suggestion is to limit you amount of sugar and flour. This includes avoiding or limiting breads, pastas, rice, bread, and noodles. Also it is a good idea to avoid dairy products when possible. Dairy products can cause extra acid in the body. Finally, it is important to avoid sugary drinks such as soda. When possible drink water or a healthy green tea. Good luck with the new diet.

What is a good weight loss pill to take with diet and exercise?

I’m 18 years old, 19 soon. And if you recommend the Acai berry and cleansing pill I will report you. Do not spam my question with scams and cons please. I am very serious about this.
When I said no cons or scams I meant it. PLEASE do not send me marketing scams! I am 100% serious about losing a few inches and I really don’t want to waist money on something that isn’t going to work.

Go to a Fat camp(boot camp programs only) , or get HCG(injections, oral doesn’t work even half as well) and go on a VLCD (very low calorie diet). DO NOT go on a VLCD without a nutritionists help.

*-+WEIGHT LOSS PILLS DO NOT WORK+-*

That or cut all the bad stuff out of your diet.

Good luck! (also don’t buy it off the internet, find a doctor who will help you with HCG, natural remedy type doctors are best.)

I’m 5’7, 164 lbs and watch what I eat. I work out 30-45 mins 6 days a week, but i’m not seeing weight loss as quickly as I would hope to. How many carbs should I intake to maybe reach a 4-5 lb weight loss goal per week? Also what are some good foods with low carbs?

Stop….before you try any programs you should know a few things about food. One is where the food you eat falls on the glycemic index. This is important for your body to function correctly. Usana Health Sciences has a product called Reset, this product has a weeks worth of meals to reset your bodies sugar levels and a complete meal plan for after the first week. It is awesome and worked well for me.

There is also a great supplement called Acai Berry Select, this will also help you jump start your weight loss. This product gives you a month supply for free as a trial. I added this to the reset and wow did it work. After the first month if you want more of the Acai Berry Select it does cost, but they don’t require you to keep going after the free trial it is all up to you

I hope this helps and good luck in your adventures

What are the best exercises to do to trigger this weight loss, and what are the best foods to eat?

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

I was looking at the epicurious.com site for diet recipes and there was a remark from a cook from Canada that said there were much better soup recipes than the one posted. BUT… They left no email of where to write to say SO…Lets have that super soup recipe. there are no top chefs in my family and the ones that can cook cook with many calories added and things I don’t need to diet or get healthier.So are there any good soup cooks out there that wish to share a few recipes? I need to lose 80 pounds and want to totally change the recipes I’ve grown up with and learn how to grocerie shop healthy without going broke. Thank you everyone who answers. Overweight from Pennsylvania

First you take a pan of water…and heat that up…

That’s about the healthiest you’re going to get with all that low cal, fat…blahblahblah

The way to lose weight is…

* Stop drinking soda

* Eat sugary foods VERY sparingly, or not at all if you can help it

* Exercise

* Drink a LOT of water

* Eat smaller portions

* Be aware of everything you add to food that jacks up the total fat/cal count….such as a nutrious salad with very fattening dressing

* Give yourself " rewards " for getting so far…
Ex. " Lose 10 pounds, get a new shirt….lose 5 more, get a cappucino "
With a reward system, you won’t feel as though you’re depriving yourself from as much.

Good luck! If I can do it, anyone can!!!

I’m 15, I live in south wales, Neath. I’m not fat as such but there are areas of fat starting to build up. I can’t afford a gym membership and because I live in such a rainy place running outside really isn’t an option for me. When I was younger there were a lot of free schemes around the area that I could do and that kept me healthy, I was a part of a cricket team but as I was the only girl when I was 12 they had to stop me from training because there was no girls team and I wasn’t aloud to stay on the boys team, or even train. I was also a good footballer but had to drop out because of ill-health. I’ve also tried basketball but they stopped the free program when I was 13. I used to take swimming lessons but because of the cost I had to stop, although if there is any way of training at a small price I would take it straight away. I’m going to start ice skating as a hobby but I’ll only be able to do that once a week, It’s obviously not going to help me get stronger. I can hardly do 1 push up and I suffer from weak bones and joints. I’ve also tried yoga but I’ve always ended up damaging my wrists. None of my family are active in any way and they are all negative about healthy eating and keeping fit, Ive tried to motivate them so I could get fit too but its always ended up in arguments but I really don’t want to turn out like them at all. I really can’t afford anything that would cost over £20 because I’m using my own money and I need to save some but I really need to start doing something, any help would be appreciated but please don’t give any really negative stuff. A bit of criticism is fine though 🙂

Damn that’s a hard situation, I know what it’s like having an unsupportive family haha! A gym membership is really the best option though, even though you said you cant afford it, but i used to do push ups etc and they did **** all. Try and eat healthy as possible as well, but good luck tricky situation

My roomie and I are doing the South Beach diet and we are tired of lunch meat and vegatables. Is there anything else we can eat on Phase I of the diet?

Here is some great recipes for stage one. the also have some for phase 2 as well. Good luck!

I am a middle aged female and am looking to lose those stubborn extra pounds in my tummy area.

I have used some weight loss pills int he past with some success. I am looking to try one of these products on the market today but there are so many! Help me out with your experiences, if possible. Not looking for opinions, just facts. Thanks!

** You should try drinking 8 to 16 ounces of water before each meal, this will fill you up and you will eat less, resulting in less calories at every meal. Weight loss pills are not very safe, at least water is safe. I know it may be hard at first to drink water, but you can add more and more everyday until it becomes easier, ( you will get used to it. I lost 50 pounds in three years and kept them off , I also walk for 20 minutes at least 5 times a week. Patience is needed,, if you want quick, this is not it, better to lose slowly than too fast (not healthy for your body) Well good luck too you, hope this helps.

P.S. I also think that the younger you are the faster you will lose weight, 50 years and up will take longer
