How to Lose Weight with Thyroid Problems

Recommended Answer:

Facial fat develops from several factors, including being overweight,soft facial muscles, genetics or simply getting older. There is nosurefire way to lose fat around the face and under the chin that willwork for everyone, but there are a variety of options from which youcan select the right method for you.Step 1 Work on full-body weight loss if excess facial fat is a full-bodyproblem. Simply adding regular exercise three to five times a week for30 to 60 minutes, cutting 250 calories a day and eating more freshfruits and vegetables should help you to drop a pound or two a week.While everyone is different, most people notice facial fat is thefirst fat lost. Step 2 Drink plenty of water each and every day, taking in about twoglasses for every 50 pounds of body weight. Not only is wateressential for your body to function properly, it also helps to flushtoxins, which can cause swelling in the face and other parts of thebody. Step 3 Perform facial exercises that work to strengthen and firm themuscles of the face, chin and neck and can help you lose facial fat.Activities like yoga and Pilates are perfect. However, there are alsomany exercises directed just for the face. Step 4 Cut back on foods that cause fluid retention, particularly saltand alcohol. Reducing your intake of salt and alcohol is a verypositive dietary choice that will show great results in your skin andfatty tissues. Step 5 Consider a more drastic approach if these natural techniques arenot helping you to lose fat around the chin and face. Cosmetic surgeryprocedures have come along way and often only require a few hours in adoctor's office for the procedure and short recovery times after.Speak to a cosmetic surgeon about thread lifts, liposuction, tucks andother procedures that can help you to look and feel your best.

Well it will be difficult and you will need work very hard but it is not impossible if you're committed. You may not lose 15 lbs exactly (b/c that would be extreme rapid weight loss) but you could definitely lose 12 pounds if you're 100% committed and focused and if you're lucky and your body responds well maybe 15 pounds. Here is a plan/tip to help that happen:Week 1-Run 3 miles 5 days a weekWalk 3 miles 2 days a weekDo 30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week (you get a video from the library or youtbe they have them)Do 30 minutes of Biking/Swmming/Playing a sport 2 days a weekWeek 2Run 4 miles 6 days a weekWalk 4 miles 1 day a weekDo 30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week (you get a video from the library or youtbe they have them)Do 30 minutes of Biking/Swmming/Playing a sport 2 days a weekWeek 3Run 5 miles 6 days a weekWalk 5 miles 1 day a weekDo 30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week (you get a video from the library or youtbe they have them)Do 30 minutes of Biking/Swmming/Playing a sport 2 days a weekWeek 4Run 3 Miles 1 days a weekRun 4 miles 2 days a weekRun 5 miles 3 day a a weekWalk 4 miles 2 days a weekDo 30 minutes of Pilates 5 days a week (you get a video from the library or youtbe they have them)Do 30 minutes of Biking/Swmming/Playing a sport 2 days a weekEverydayDrink 6 cups of waterDon't drink any soda or juiceDrink 2 cups of green tea w/ mint and some sweet and low(get 8 hours a sleep every night- a full night sleep will reduce stress and increase weight loss)Follow This Meal Plan for The Next Month:Monday Breakfast- Oatmeal (1 cup cooked w/ water), 1 cup of berriesLunch- whole wheat bread with tuna, light mayo, lettuce and tomato, 10 baby carrots, hummusSnack- apple and string cheeseDinner- 3 oz. grilled chicken, 6 broccoli trees, baked sweet potato w/ cinnamon and tsp. butterSnack- Greek vanilla yogurt and bananaTuesdayBreakfast- 2 scrambled eggs, slice of toast, orangeLunch- peanut butter and jelly sandwich, cluster of grapesSnack- baby carrots, celery sticks w/ fat free ranch Dinner- 3 oz. baked fish, side salad, low fat dressing, 3/4 cup of cooked yellow riceSnack- apple and 1/4 cup almondsWednesdayBreakfast- 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of raisin bran, strawberriesLunch- 3 oz. turkey on whole wheat w/ lettuce and tomato, cherry tomatoes, hummusSnack- apple and tbsp. peanut butterDinner- garden burger on whole grain bun, cup of cooked cauliflower/brococli/carrots/peas mixtureSnack- string cheese and crackersThursdayBreakfast - whole wheat bagel w/ cream cheese, orangeLunch- salad w/ grilled chicken breast and low fat dressing, appleSnack- yogurtDinner- vegetarian chili, carrots and low fat ranch dipSnack- banana and 1 tbsp. peanut butterFridayBreakfast- 2 scrambled eggs, slice of toast, orangeLunch- 3 oz. turkey on whole wheat w/ lettuce and tomato, cherry tomatoes, hummusSnack- Greek vanilla yogurt, bananaDinner - 1 slice of pizza, side saladSnack- apple, 1 tbsp. peanut butterWeekends- Don't Diet, Just Watch What You Eat

• 15/4=3.75 pounds per week. 1 pound is 3500 cals, 3500x 3.75= 13175 calsCut 13175 cals out of your diet per week or exercise to burn it
• Haha! I'm exactly like you! I started at 150 and now I'm at 125-130. I haven't weighed myself so I don't know. I am 5'2 as well. This is what I did; I believe it will work for you too. - I set a calorie limit for each day. I counted calories so I actually couldn't really eat out or ate anything if I didn't know the calories. - Do NOT go under 1000 calories! You will enter starvation mode and it will make you gain weight. - Eat between 1100-1400. At least this is how it is for me. Research how many calories you should eat to maintain weight and eat a bit under that (if you want to lose). - If you want to speed up the process, exercising (at least for a little while) each day is perfect! Keeps the metabolism going. - Honestly, I've lost 20 poundd eating what I want to eat! I don't even eat fruits or vegetables because I hate them. I simply count calories. - Don't stress. You are doing a great thing. Also, don't weigh yourself often. Do it at most ONCE a month. If you do that, it will be better, trust me. If not, you might get discouraged. - Wanna know how to not gain back the weight after you lose what you want to lose? Like I said, research how many calories you have to eat in order to MAINTAIN your weight. Once you feel like you look fine (don't worry about the weight, it's just if you see yourself good in the mirror), don't go over the maintaining weight. YOU WILL BE FINE! Don't lose hope; it took me many tries! I'm going to tell you that it is hard! But it is do-able! It took me a long time to lose weight because I kept failing. Don't give up! :)
• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.
• That should be plenty enough! For your height range, a weight of 110-140 is normal. It is safe to lose 1-2 pounds a week. In 4 weeks, if you were at a rate of losing 2 pounds a week, you'd lose 8-10 pounds which is certainly close. And the rest you could work off probably without anyone ever noticing!

What''s the fastest way to lose weight?What are some good foods to eat on a diet?How do you lose weight when you''re addicted to food?

I really, really want to lose weight but I feel like I have so many problems at home that food is the only way that I can cope. So any tips?

Is Going To a Diet and Weight Loss Clinic the Perfect Solution to Losing Weight?

Recommended Answer:
Best advice? When you go shopping - don''t buy junk food. It''s right there at the shop that it''s easiest to keep up your diet. Just don''t buy stuff..

Second advice - buy fruit and vegetables. When you get hungry - eat those.

Finally - drink lots of water. Whenever you feel an urge to munch on something. Drink 0.5 litres of water. That will put away your urges.

• you should go to gym aur atleast do long distance walk
• You have to break your addiction to food.
  
  Sometimes exercise can help you deal with stress. Try running/walking for an hour a day.
  
  If you find exercise more stressful than fresh relieving, try something else. Maybe by a game system or take up a hobby.
• Try drinking water or lemon water. You may be mistaking hunger with thirst. The brain is a poor decider when it comes to that. Look for local churches in your area that have food addiction groups. Many do. If not you may need to invest in a counselor. Try chewing gum or thinking about the new body you will have.
• This may not be a very conventional way to lose weight, but this is how I did it. About three months ago, I was 215 pounds, and now I''m 185! The problem that I had with losing weight in the past was that I would always impulsively eat food because I would think about how good it tasted and how much I wanted it. After eating the food, however, I would be depressed that I ate it, I would feel fat, and I would wish that I had never eaten it in the first place. So one day I realized that when I looked at food, I should not think about how much I wanted it, but how bad I would feel after I ate it. So at first I would say to myself "Think about how shitty you''ll feel after you eat that," before I ate anything. Then I simply contracted that saying into "Tahsyf Ayet." (Sounds like some sort of Arabic saying) So whenever I saw food that I wanted to eat, I would just say to myself Tahsyf Ayet, I would think about how awful I would feel after eating, and that convinced me not to eat as much. This method was slightly difficult at first, but once I started doing it, abiding by it, and actually losing weight, I loved it. After the first week, saying it will become like second nature, and you won''t eat, and instead of being sad that you did not get to eat what you wanted to, you would feel extremely happy that you weren''t in the position where you had just eaten. Just say to yourself Tahsyf Ayet!!
• I seem to be gaining weight. I am addicted to peanut butter and jelly.
• Hello kia dear eat oats daily that would do the miracle.
• Eat properly.
• The most effective way is to try to overcome unhealthy food addiction to be able to lose your extra weight and don''t worry follow the next steps:-
  
  1- Be honest with your self and accept that you suffer from food addiction and know that you may have serious problems from it and make overcoming food adiction your main goal and "challenge".
  2- Which foods that you eat more"foods that contain fat or foods that contain high amounts of salt or foods that contain high amount of sugar".
  3- You will not overcome food addiction overnight so you can gradually reduce your intake of these foods until you succeed to overcome this habit for ex: if you eat two Pieces of chocolates daily "start with eating 1 piece daily then 1 piece every 2 day, 1 piece every 3 days until you reach 1 piece every 7 days"" and the less you eat from unhealthy foods the more weight you will lose".
  
  4- Bringing a rewarding feeling in your body may be a reason for unhealthy food addiction and "doing exercises brings the same rewarding feeling in your body you can try yourself! So choose your liked exercise and do it daily and you will get the same feeling, burn calories and then lose your extra weight.
  
  5-Find some one of your friends or family who suffer from the same problem and start with him so that both of you will encourage the other one and support the other one and still motivated.
  
  6- Stress may be a main reason which makes you addict unhealthy foods then managing stress becomes very helpful way to overcome food addiction and you can mange stress by doing exercises, listening to music, meditation.
  
  7- Drinking water! Yes drinking lots of water daily helps you to overcome food addiction.
  
  8- To avoid last-minute snacking or ordering take-out Plan out your meals in advance.
  
  9-Before eating ask your self is it areal feeling of hunger or not? As when you are really hungry you eat less amounts of intake food than when you transform your relationship with food.

Weightloss and tone up?

I am 6 ft tall male (18 years old) and weigh 14 stone 8lbs so I am chubby. I have lost 2 stone since October but recently have lacked motivation, probably because I have had the same regime over and over. What should I be doing exercise-wise to mix it up a bit yet still see results? I have 5 months until I go on holiday which is when I want to have the confidence to take my top off! I am surprisingly okay with the diet side of things, which originally was the biggest problem.
Thanks!

How to Burn Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
I hear you Chris, can I first suggest you:
Stop thinking weight loss and start thinking fat loss.

If your goal is to take your shirt off and look buff, then all you really need to do is remove the fat that is covering the muscles you already have.

To lose body fat you only have two options stop making it, and start burning it or surgically remove it.

You are not “chubby” because you are 6 foot tall and 14stone 8lbs or because your BMI is 26.9, it might surprise you to know Chris that when the 20 year old, 6’2” Arnold Schwarzenegger was crowned Mr. Universe his BMI was 30.2, because he weighed 235lbs. However Arnie only had about 4% body fat and a lot of muscle. So you are “chubby” because of your fat to muscle ratio.

To stop making more fat, you need to eat about 3200 calories per day if you are moderately active, this will maintain your fat level as they are now. In order to start burning the fat you already have, you need to exert yourself more ( burn more fat) or eat less (make less fat) To lose one pound of fat you must burn 3,500 more calories than you take in as food.

At your current size Chris, that would require you to add a 7hr 40 min long 4mph walk to your existing activities to burn the 3,500 calories so you can burn 1 pound of fat. Don’t forget that as you lose fat and weigh less, the amount of energy it takes to move your lighter body around is less, so you need to walk more to burn the same amount of calories. Simple math, but very annoying, because you have to do more work to burn the same amount of calories.

I know you said you had your diet under control, but you can see that it is much easier to remove 500 cal from your daily intake, so achieving the 3500 calories less in a week, than it is to walk an additional 7 hours and 40 min at 4 mph in your week. Just a thought, I hope it makes you think!
Enough about fat, now let''s talk about muscle, because remember it’s your muscle to fat ratio we are trying to address here Chris. The little organisms in your body that convert the stored fats to energy, are called mitochondria, they are your bodies energy factories, and 98% of the trillions of mitochondria in your body are in your muscles. So more muscles more mitochondria more fat burning, again simple math.

Growing muscle is genetically programmed into all healthy humans, and it is as simple as putting that muscle under stress through intensity so the muscle fails in its bid to move or lift or push. If this failure is achieved through exertion rather than exhaustion, the body recognises its failure, releases peptides to signals an anabolic response that after a rest period of a number of days will make the muscle that failed, bigger and stronger. The technical types call this muscular hypertrophy. But I''m sure you know all this because you go to the gym, but the point I''m trying to raise here is intensity. Resistance exercise that results in muscle failure is not confined to lifting heavy weights, sprinting is a good example.

The resistance comes from trying to accelerate your 198lbs to the fastest speed possible in the shortest period of time, and you can sprint on a pushbike, in a pool or on a running track, so it is easy to get variety in this form of resistance exercise.

I could go on, but I won’t because I think I have said enough to give you the idea.

Fat lose is simple, energy in and energy out. Exercise variety is simple, if your realize that resistance exercise with high intensity can be many things which do not all involve a Gym membership.

Hope this helps the new soon to be “Buff Chris”.

Cheers

I was so happy! I was myself.
Then as soon as i got into highschool my life changed..
People are so cruel there, there mean.. I got broken down to someone im not..
Then one of my friends started making my life hell..
there not my friend anymore.
I feel left out... I''m so shy im terrified going to school.
At home i cant stand my stepdad ever since i meet him.. (3 years old) i''v hated him.
Hes is never happy, has never smiled or laughed.. threaths to kill me & my step sister.
blames everything on me. He gets angry so easy..
He hits my sister... trys to hit me.
My mum doesnt even care... Whenever i try and speak to my mum hes shows up.

How Can I Lose Weight in a Healthy Way?

Recommended Answer:
Hi sweetie, let me share a little something-something to you..
When I was little, my uncle abused my sister. Nobody liked me at school and I had constant mood-swings. And one day, I thought about suicide. I know it''s something you''re avoiding, but just thought I''ll put it up :)
But it was only my surroundings that affected. And as cheesy as this sounds, be yourself. Be who you used to be. Think of what makes you happy. Anything. Start by smiling a lot. With what you do, your surroundings can change. About your stepdad, I suggest you go to an adult you can trust. If you don''t have someone, then find them. Read funny books and watch tv or play games. They can really make your heart grin.
About your school dilemma, either you ignore, or stand up to them. Call them out. And your mom, try to reach out to her.
About your body, don''t worry, I''ve been there :). Eat small meals 5 times a day. Once you feel like it, start exercising.
I know how it feels, but trust me, as cheesy as this sounds, it gets better (trevorproject reference :))

How to keep a steady ketosis?

I''m on a very low carb diet, (nearly 0) and i''m aiming for a steady 1.5 -3 B-ketones. I do reach 1.5 but it drops to 0.4-0.6 after a low carb meal.

Any ideas how i can maintain a steadier ketosis?

Lose Weight Fast - How NOT to Lose Weight Fast!

Recommended Answer:
80% ratio of dietary fat in every meal & exercise.

Excess protein is converted to glucose *unless* dietary fat ratio is greater than 80%.

The body uses not only glucose but also glutamine from the amino acid - which is found in higher levels in the protein from dairy, nuts, seeds & vegetation.

Exercise can increase blood ketone levels 0.25-0.50 millimolar immediately afterwards which is an indication that fat-burning has commenced. These ketone levels can “increase sharply during the 1-2 hours after exercise due to increased hepatic delivery of fatty acids and greater rates of fat oxidation,” according to Volek and Phinney.

Suggest you read Jimmy Moores current experiment - for the last 10 months he has done daily tracking of weight, blood glucose am/pm, blood ketones am/pm

Jimmy Moore started low carbing in 2004 & originally lost 180# in one year - he gained some weight back until he started practicing the >80% fat ratio. His body is extremely metabolically resistant to weight loss (insulin resistance results in easy weight gain) & he has lost 73# in the past 10 months.

day 1 -
http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/jimmy-moores-n1-experiments-nutritional-ketosis-day-1-30/14409

day 300 (73# lost) -

http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/jimmy-moores-n1-experiments-nutritional-ketosis-day-271-300/18084

While the weight loss to date (73 pounds in 10 months) has been a nice little side effect of this self-imposed scientific experiment, there are so many other intriguing and measurable health benefits that have come from doing this–namely hunger control, less obsession about food, heightened mental acuity, regular restorative sleep, blood sugar stability, energy out the wazoo…I could go on and on!

The reality is nutritional ketosis has given me back full control of my health and weight again in ways where even a typical low-carb diet had failed me in recent years.

purely anecdotal of course:



Paul N • 2 months ago

I had read a comment from someone on one of these sorts of forums, who could not "achieve ketosis" no matter how much fat they ate.
They then, on advice of a friend, took 2tbspns of flax oil, and was in ketosis the next day. mIght be worth trying since you are measuring things so accurately.

Tips on How to Lose Weight Fast for the New Year

Recommended Answer:
Ideally at 5"0/5"1 you should weight between 90-120 pounds. From the little that you shared it sounds like you have a large frame, which means a healthy weight for you would be 120 pounds. You have a lot of weight to lose and it is hard to say it all through yahoo answers. But one thing I will say is you need to start going to the gym and exercising - you will want to reduce your calories by 500 (whatever you are eating right now, take off 500 calories) and make sure you exercise 40 minutes a day- 6 times a week.

• Here is a good link to find out the wieght you are meant to be :
