Diets That Work

I already know all about exercising, drinking water, eating healthy,ect.
I am about to quit smoking and desire to keep my trim figure. Yes, I know that the #1 reason for quitting smoking is for my health [as well as the environment ect]
I would like to know if anyone has ever tried one of those green tea patches, and have experienced good results, or what were the results if any please? Thank you.
P.S. I lost 25 pds. last yr. and even tho quitting smoking does cause some weight gain inevitably for a lot of people, thought perhaps drinking green tea and wearing that patch would help in maintaining my present figure )

I tried them. Big waste of money. Didn’t help a bit.

I need to shed some pounds along with my diet and exercise.

dont waste your money on diet pills – if they worked dont you think there would be no obese people???
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast – they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner – repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Being a vegetarian for over 10 years, I now need to lose some of the weight i’ve put on in this time. Unfortunatly I must be eating an unblalance diet as i see plenty diets but most are for meat eaters none for us veggies. Any ideas for a good healthy Vegitarian weight loss program ?

The same one that applies to omnivors: eat less, exercise more.

I have been on weight watchers for 8 months and already lost 30 pounds. I plan to lose another 30 pounds to get to my goal weight. I am wanting to get on birth control but I am scared I will start gaining weight. Will birth control make me gain weight?

There’s really no way to know, in some women it makes them gain weight and others can lose weight. It all depends on how the hormones effect your body. Don’t be too worried about it though, if you are eating right and exercising it shouldn’t have a negative effect on you.

How safe is Propolene for weight loss ? Also How effective is it in weight loss combined with exercise?

Really; this is probably fairly safe – who can tell, there are so many poisins in the owrld. However, it will not be effective when trying to loose weight. It simply binds to water nd fat, making you feel artificially bunged up/full and taking away all the good fats you eeat in your diet. you should just eat less and excercise more. Unless you really wanna look like a model/arnie swarzneggar in which case you should go see a proper gym person who will really give some roids or something, or amph etc.

Had a baby last October 2006 and everything I’ve tried including diet & excercise has the same results on the scale! How do I raise my metabolism again?

Don’t think so much for food and your fat because you’re stressing your self.Eat normally and do fitness;don’t keep diet.I have did this with my self and now i am a bodybuilding champion in my country.

Laxatives don’t actually work for weight loss. If you’re bloated or constipated and need a natural clear out Oxytarm works very well and won’t mess up your digestive system like laxatives.

OK, this one is for my wife. We are getting ready to go to Las Vegas but my wife has some pounds to shed (so she thinks) before we go. I need to find FAST weight loss program or product that is also natural and healthy weight loss.
Thanks.

good luck!

… what i mean is there is no such thing as "fast" AND "healthy" they don’t go together. weight loss requires consistently making the best diet and exercise choices. for it to be lasting and healthy… it will take time

Assuming that you could only do one of the following tasks to improve your fat loss. LOL Real answers please.

If you are looking the best fat loss solution, i suggest doing what this mom did

Combining the best diets to get the best result

hi am not sure whats available in the markets…but, this is what i did to lose weight… PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS… pills are nothing but anorectic agents… they make you feel less hungry… there is no way to loose weight fast… though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly… it has to be combined with diet and excercise… pills are very bad in the long run… can lead to impotency and infertility…

i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time… i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight… i was 65 kilos when i started… according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight… i stand 5′2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight…

just dieting wont help like i found out in my case… diet + exercise will do the trick…

i’ll tell you what i did… it worked for me… hope it works for you too

the trick is not to starve but to eat smart and stay healthy

what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi – cal… you’ll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky… if you are not sure about what foods to avoid… check the net…loads of info available…

vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes – very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot… avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns… all these put on weight… eat only lean meats… thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk… eat just the egg white…

fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit

now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided…you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat… thats how i felt… there is loads of stuff you can eat actually

here they come

fast foods are a big no no… you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets…

its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight…after those few months… once you’ve shed your load…you can get back to your usual lifestyle… of course with some caution…

my diet…
breakfast:

skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit… i am from India… am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here… but let me tell you something… Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet…

and try cereal in the mornings… oats, weetabix… etc… have a good breakfast…alwaays use brown bread… whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction…

for lunch , we are staple rice eaters… rice is bad for fat reduction… but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed… everyone takes rice here… so… rice – one cup – 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil… all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday… that would be just for seasoning… also using olive oil helps a lot…

then for dinner… compulsarily have wheat… pasta is a good option…but make sure you buy wheat pasta… check before buying… and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces… some varities of sauces are acceptable… as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general… you can use tomato spicy sauces etc… make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 – 3 spoons per day… (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course… eat a lot of fruits and vegetables… and all kinds of cereal… if you are hungry… eat a fruit… or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice… but no puffed corn… corn products again put on weight…

eat sandwiches as much as possible… i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies…

and combined with dieting… you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday… you’ll see the difference…defenitely… if you think gym is boring… take up dance classes… or run along the beach… if you have one… or skate… or just about any physical activity… brisk walking will also help…
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight…

drink loads of water…atleast 6 glasses per day… and do a lot of physical activity…. take the stairwy instead of the lift…. and small things like that…
if you have any more queries…mail me… cheers and good luck its not difficult…you’ll get used to it in a few days… and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body…

you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down… after that… its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise also check your weight everyday… its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres
