How to Lose Weight Fast for Teens

Recommended Answer:

That's a good question.Sodas have a lot of calories from sugar. You gain weight when you take in more calories than you burn.If you limit yourself to one soda and are very physically active then you won't gain weight.Diet sodas have no calories, but some studies have shown that drinking diet sodas makes people crave real sugar.

Other Answers:

• All sodas will make you gain weight because of the sugar in them. But diet soda would probably be better.
• Yes of course they can they are high in caffeine also.
• Soda of most kinds help you gain weight. Try M10 found at Safeway on the shelf. many different flavors. Just squirt as much as you like in water to taste and enjoy, No sugar or carbonation. Just plain non fattening enjoyment, close lid stick it in your pocket for later. Mike

How does this look for weight loss?

I'm 5'10", 18, and 157 lbs. first question.. How overweight am I? And secondly, will I lose weight eating 1,500 or less calories a day, usually more on days i work out harder. plus I usually burn 200-350 calories in exercise everyday doing cardio and strength training. I'm trying to get down to 140-145... How does this look for weight loss? I'm trying to lose FAT (mainly belly fat, that's where I have the most and I realize I'll probably lose it there last)

How to Fast and Lose Weight Safely

Recommended Answer:

Your first question: You are NOT overweight. If you look at your BMI (see the first source), you are actually smack-dab in the middle of average weight. So no worries there. That being said, weighing 140 is not underweight. So if you want to lose some fat, then by all means, go for it.The diet could be better. Eating only 1,500 calories a day may not be enough for you to develop the muscles you want for that flat stomach. There is a lot more to weight loss than just calories. The best thing you can do is look at trying to increase your metabolism to get rid of fat. See the second source for some suggestions.The workout routine sounds just fine. Best of luck!

Where can I buy real hcg drops? ***best answer?

I realize all the hcg drops in stores say hcg on the label but they don't have it as an ingredient. So you're basically buying hgc free hcg drops, silly! Where can I get genuine hcg drops with the hormone in it? Will choose first accurate answer as best! !!

How to Lose Weight with Coffee

Recommended Answer:

The Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission issued warning letters in December, 2011 to many companies that sell the over-the-counter products, noting they have not been approved by the FDA for weight loss and false advertising claims. The drops do not contain the actual hcg hormone but similar synthetic amino acids. These peptides are destroyed in the digestive system and are completely worthless.The FDA and FTC have finally taken steps to stop these potentially harmful and scam products. Anyone that lost weight on the diet protocol only did because they were eating 500 calories a day and in starvation mode. The side effects of the hcg diet protocol are the side effects of malnutrition. These include headache, hair loss, interruption of menstrual cycles, fatigue, feeling lightheaded, disorientation, stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Common sense tells you this diet is nothing more than starvation. One of the side effects of properly using the hcg injections to increase fertility is weight gain. So how can the hormone cause weight loss? The doctors exploiting this benign hormone can't even agree on how it works. Some say it releases stored fat calories into the system. Others say it acts as an appetite suppressant. Neither explanation justifies the weight loss in the individuals taking the oral drops containing no hcg in them that still lost weight. The mental apparatus occurring here is called "cognitive relativism" where hcg users assert their beliefs to the point where they deny facts, lack of evidence, and true expert opinion. While there are loads of profiteers, clinics, and doctors with no moral compass promoting this 60 year old ridiculous protocol it is not endorsed or recommended by any medical, dietary, or regulatory organization. Type "hcg" in the Search Y! Answers box above and find out what hcg is really all about. And read the sad questions from women wanting to become pregnant.

Other Answers:

• Your not going to ever find any that actually have human chorionic gonadotropin in them, you can't sell human hormones over the counter without a prescription the whole HCG diet is a scam like most fad diets. It's this simple, Your body WILL NOT burn fat for fuel when it has carbohydrates it can burn instead. This is metabolism 101. If you want to switch your diet to burn fat for fuel then you MUST switch to a Ketogenic diet like Atkins or South Beach. Stop wasting time and money on infomercial type scams and do it the right way.

How can i lose weight by playing basketball?

How long do I have to play, how many times a week. Also is there any other specific thing I have to do , like push ups, pull ups , etc?

How to Fast to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

The key to fat loss is not exercise, it's diet.Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet. Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn but you can't always burn as many as you take in.Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success. An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness.

How can I become healthy?

I''ve been eating a lot of junk lately and I''m putting on weight... I don''t wanna carry on like this. I want to lose the weight and be healthy. I have had a lot of problems lately which contributed to me bingeing on junk. For breakfast I have pecan and maple cereal or crumpets with a lot of butter. Really not a good start to the day. I know porridge is better in the morning so I''ve been having that for a few days. For lunch I just have a sandwich or something else. Mostly something unhealthy like Chinese food or McDonald''s. I work evenings so I don''t have dinner, I end up having chocolate, bakery stuff, microwave meals, etc which is really bad for me. I really need to change my ways, but I don''t know what exactly makes a very healthy lunch or dinner.

Can you give me some suggestions on what I can have that is good for me? I don''t want to eat junk anymore, I want to be healthy but I just don''t know what to eat. Please help?

Why Don''t I Lose Weight?

Recommended Answer:
Well if you want to be healthy diet isn''t the only thing you should be concerned about. Health is mental, physical and social.

But for the sake of your question let''s focus on the Physical. First off it seems like you''re not eating any vegetables or fruits. So that''s where you should start. Add more vegetables and fruits to your diet. If anything you should be eating more vegetables and fruits than anything else in your diet.

Add more protein and healthy fats to your diet. These help nourish your body and keep you going strong all day long, not to mention that they keep you full and prevent you from overeating.

Stay away from sugar and processed foods. That means no more take-out chinese, no more mcdonalds, no more sweetened cereals or chocolate. For your carbohydrates stick to veggies, fruits, and whole-grain.

Lastly, drink a lot of water. stay away from drinks with calories and sugar.

And that''s really all you need to do. good luck.

I have a hard time getting out of depression?..?

My life is sort of going ok now. I got full time job, things with parents are finally getting better.
But I have really hard time, getting out of depression
one thing goes bad and I go insane
I feel like I am in a balloon and the balloon is the depression and I cant break out of it and it just keeps stretching pulling me back.
Can someone help me please?
Also everyone is telling me to take pill etc..but I know I will get addicted and I will be dependent on it, I don''t want that..Can you help?

Lose Weight For Free Fast And The Foods That Help You Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Okay, I understand. Depression is something that really ruins one''s happiness and ability to see the positivity of life. What I suggest is this:

- Are you being sociable? By that I mean, are you seeing friends all the time, going out with them, meeting new people, partying (possibly)? You begin to feel really isolated if you don''t see a lot of people and communicate with them, and this leads to the feeling of loneliness on both literal and emotional level. See people, arrange things with friends.

- You say you have a full time job. Does this entail slaving away in a room at a desk most of the time? Are you moving around constantly and on the go? If you aren''t, you NEED to change that. Start perhaps by going for walks in the morning or evening (or when you have time) in nature. This means near a river, out in the fields, amongst the trees etc. This will help you feel more in touch with your surroundings and give you peace. There is something very calming about the beauty of nature, and how it simply lives simply. It reminds us of how we should be.
Now, perhaps you should join a gym or sports class. Not to lose weight or anything like that, but to feel good. Exercise gives you those endorphins and keep positivity and wellbeing at a high. Boost those exercise levels and I promise you that you will feel much better.

- Are you sick of routine? Or do you thrive on it? It''s important to have a balance. The chaotic person ends up feeling lost at the end of the day many a time, and so does the routine-loving person when things just don''t go their way. Keep a good sleep routine where you go to bed early and wake up early, you will make the most of your day if you do this. But, even though you have allocated time for work and sleep, you should also allow room for change. I don''t know your life, but if you look at it, you will know which things you need to allow to pass over you and just happen.
Make sure you don''t overwork yourself either. Feeling tired at the end of the day everyday because you HAD to do all of this stuff that doesn''t really matter to you isn''t helping.

- What are you eating? A healthy diet is so important to make you feel good about yourself and about life, giving you a great boost of energy and radiance. I''m not saying cut out EVERYTHING, but one by one, start to cut back on the amount of JUNK food you have each day. Eg: that cookie, McDonalds lunch etc. Replace this with nutrients, like fruit, vegetables, carbs and protein. Perhaps have a banana and wild berry smoothy every morning to boost you for the day (make it yourself though. Too many venues put giant amounts of sugar in them). Perhaps you can do this after your yoga in the morning :)

- Relationships? Are they getting you down because they aren''t working? This is one of the things that —as hard as it is to do sometimes—you need to let go of. Change is a certainty. Similarity and familiarity is something you cannot depend on. Those people that leave you, let you down or make you feel bad are just parts of life, the obstacles. They don''t mean anything good if you don''t let them test you. They are challenges in life you need to overcome and move on from. You are worth loving, and you are the only person who knows how special you are completely, so don''t get sad over the people who didn''t try or failed to see that.

I hope this helps, and I hope you feel better soon :)

How To Lose Weight Fast and Safely

Recommended Answer:
Eat some high fiber foods that are cheap and nutritious like potatoes, brown rice, beans, oatmeal, vegetables and fresh fruit. The fiber burns all the fat off your body. You don''t have to count calories. They are low calorie too and a great choice for weight loss, you can eat all you want.

Try potatoes with salsa, lemon/lime juice, salt and pepper or minestrone soup. Don''t add any fat to the super low calorie potato that is super cheap. Fat just goes on your body for storage. Chew each bite about 30 times and you will be satisfied for a super long time without needing to eat again. Some people have tried only eating potatoes for 6 months to a year, they were in excellent health. It''s a study you can read about here.http://www.nutribuff.com/inspiration/live-really-well-on-potatoes/

Drink only water, stay away from all of the sodas and milk and anything else. They can mess up your metabolism. Milk has a lot of fat and is really bad for your back. Check out this link about all the diseases that come with milk. www.notmilk.com. Get your calcium from beans, greens, vegetables. You will need to get some kind of exercise if you can so your bones and muscles don''t atrophy from non use.

If you feel like snacking try super low cal raw vegetables. They have fiber too and have hardly any calories. Crunch, crunch, crunch carrots, celery, cucumbers, cauliflower, sugar snap peas. They taste good too.

Avoid breads, pastas, flesh, desserts, pizza, hamburgers, ice cream, too much fat, too many calories, that you won''t be able to burn off. Cheap menu ideas are potatoes, beans, grains. Beans and rice can be the perfect meal too. http://www.nutribuff.com/bargain-beans/rice-and-beans-are-the-perfect-meal/ Have some for breakfast and chew really well and you probably won''t be hungry all day. You don''t need to eat as much when you are sedentary, let hunger be your guide. But, it''s nice to use the calories up during the day from a breakfast instead of a dinner that you sleep on. Try to have some other interests besides food like some good books, sudoku, word puzzles on your school break. Study hard.

You can have 1-2 fresh fruits a day to replace desires for dessert, but fruit has good sugar for your brain, back and organs, lots of nutrition and fiber too. Just buy whatever is on sale, check the ads for the killer deals.

Don''t go hungry to lose weight it will backfire and you''ll gain back a ton more. Good luck getting better with your back. Plant foods have sufficient protein, are healing and the animal foods are fattening and counterproductive to healing. Eat natural, nothing premade if you can help it. Get well soon and have fun losing the weight with the right type of eating.

• Easy, you don''t need to excersise to lose weight, just limit your calories and portions. If you drop down to 1000-1500 calories a day, you will lose a couple of pounds a week.
• I dont agree with the other guy, calorie counting can be tiresome. What you need to do is eat 3 healthy(sensible sized) meals a day and snack on fruit,veg,nuts etc. good luck :) x
• I''m deeply depressed these days,
  
  i cant eat or drink anything.
  
  i''ve lost weight in the last 3 days. i havent been on a scale so i dont know how much, but its quite noticable

10 Biggest Mistakes Made When Trying to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

For weight loss, dieting is more effective than exercising.

Perhaps you could try The Great Australian Diet discussed below.

Created by Australian health guru Dr John Tickell, the Great Australian Diet is touted as a return to natural foods and natural eating patterns. Tickell, an obstetrician turned sports medicine specialist, claims that after travelling the world and studying foods, he has discovered several simple rules which can help anyone lose weight healthily.

He describes the Great Australian Diet as "anti-Atkins, anti-CSIRO" and emphasises the importance of carbohydrates in the diet, saying that the "two most important foods we eat -fruits and vegetables- are carbohydrates". Dr John also criticises the low GI diet because, he says, it frightens people off eating carbs.

The Great Australian Diet is actually rather complicated, and may not be as easy to follow as Dr Tickell seems to think. First of all, he replaces the glycemic index with the HI, or ''Human Interference'' factor. This means that foods which have been highly processed, such as salami, white bread and white rice, are considered unhealthy, and are replaced by unprocessed alternatives- raw and lightly cooked vegetables, fish, especially deep water fish and sardines, and small amounts of lean meat. 2/3 of the diet should be composed of vegetables and fruits, and 1/3 ''bonus'' foods, which are essentially lean proteins, and after the initial two day cleansing period, which is very low calorie, 15 different types of plants should be eaten every day.

Since no calorie guidelines are given, and only vague instructions to eat 4 or 5 nuts and so on, this may be the downfall of many dieters. After all, its pretty easy to forget how many nuts, seeds and grains you have eaten. It may also be hard for people on busy schedules to keep to such a demanding diet, since eating out is restricted really to grilled fish and an occasional steak and vegetables.

But the Great Australian Diet is much more than just an eating plan. Dieters get points for watching the sunset, hugging their children and other ''coping'' activities, and use gentle exercise techniques to strengthen trunk and arm muscles. Walking is also part of the diet, which claims over 91 days to re-educate the body into natural rhythms. One of the selling points for me at least, is the resting weeks- after each three weeks on the diet, there are two weeks when you are allowed to eat freely, and recuperate. However, although it seems pretty healthy, the Great Australian Diet is never going to be voted easiest diet of the year.

• Don''t eat j/k
• Do not starve yourself, that causes you to eat more and doesn''t help you lose weight at all. Eat non processed foods (like cook it yourself) and eat very slowly. I like natural exercising like walking, biking, swimming, etc. Do exercise that you like and do some yoga.
• Go on a water diet, which is eating soft foods and smoothie. Eat a fistful of food every hour. (Don''t eat a lot!) do tons of ab exercises and workout routines.
• do proper exercise and running. You should eat those food which has no fat and protain.

• Lipo 6 black ultra concentrate! Its awesome, i lost 12 pounds in 3 weeks. you can find it at a gnc store. but it makes you very shakey as if you drank too much coffee, makes you have so much energy. it would be best to take it before working out. and you get hungry as much, but you still need to eat, but eat less. hope this helps!
• If you want to get down to the basics, there''s only one way to lose fat. Consume less calories than what you''re burning.
  
  Everyone''s body is different so you have to find your base metabolic rate http://www.muscleandstrength.com/tools/bmr-and-daily-calorie-calculator.html . Type in your information and you''ll figure out how many calories your body will consume even while inactive. Once you find that, subtract 500 calories and you''ll get a healthy weight loss calorie goal. If you manage to reach that goal every day, you''ll lose on average 1 pound a week.
  
  That may not seem like much because because commercials now a days promise insane results, but it''s realistically the best rate at which to lose fat. I don''t want you to starve yourself. You can reach your calorie goal through a combination of dieting and exercise. Remember, any calories you burn make it easier to achieve the goal. Stick with it, and in a couple of weeks you should start noticing a difference. Any changes you want with your body take time (unless you go under the knife), so be patient and you will be rewarded :)

How to Burn Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
Losing face fat can take some time; there are things you can do to lose face fat due to bloating and diet.
•Drinking more water your body won’t be as prone to bloating and you begin to lose face fat, or at least the appearance of face fat.
•In addition to all the other great reasons to eat more calcium in your diet is another; calcium can help you to lose face fat. First, foods high in calcium can help you lose body fat, which will help you to lose face fat as well.
•Reduce Salt eating, you need to lose body fat or just face fat; a low sodium diet can help you achieve your goals.
•Some face fat reduce exercises are reverse mouth open and closes, decline eyebrow raises, Incline eyebrow raises and blinking.

• You can't spot where to lose weight your bloody decides that
  Also try working out 6 out of 7 days for an hour at least
• try chewing gum
• I found this on this website. There are more tips and info.
  
  1. If what you are eating has less than 1 carb, count it as 1 carb just to be sure.
  
  2. Totally avoid caffine at least for the first two weeks on the program.
  
  3. Drink a MINIMUM of 8 glasses of plain water or seltzer daily.
  
  4. Don't weigh yourself more than once a week
  
  5. Take starting measurements as well as weight - sometimes you'll lose inches before pounds
  
  6. Avoid any type of "low carb" sweetener for the first two weeks
  
  7. Don't compare your loss to someone else's - this is a YMMV thing (your milage may vary)
  
  8. Stalls are common around the third week so don't panic
  
  9. If you follow your plan to the T and don't lose, consider Candida as a possibility and avoid vinegar, cheese, mushrooms and any other fermented food
  
  10. Have bloodwork done before starting so you have a comparison
  
  11. Cholesterol can be elevated in the first few weeks til your body adjusts - make sure your doctor knows that you're doing low carb and when you started
  
  12. Don't blame the diet if you don't read your plan book -- blame the diet if you don't read the labels -- Don't blame the diet if you don't follow the diet
