How to Lose Weight Like Tyra Banks

Recommended Answer:

Dont reduce your eating. Just exorcise as well as eating healthy. Eat more monounsaturated fatty acids. Those help to break down stored body fat like in the belly region. Those foods are like nuts, seeds, different types of oils, avocados, olives and things like that

I didnt read the describtion but i would go 'Her'
the girl in the last pic is too skinny. she looks anorexic. chicken legs. it looks like if she trips and falls she'll break like a twig. she needs muscle mass.u look like you're in way better shape than her. just do cardio and strength exercises. make sure u maintain or add muscle mass, not lose it
Don't stress out by comparing yourself to other people, because you are not other people. The only person you're supposed to be like is you. If you lose weight and get fit, do it because you want to do it for yourself, not because you want to look like someone else. I was overweight for years, and I only successfully slimmed down when I did it because I wanted to be fit, not because I didn't want people to think I was fat. You gotta do you
I would take you over the girl in picture 2. Don't fret your curves okay. Its not a curse. I would just tone. Honestly being that thin is not healthy. Besides why do want to hurt your self to be stick thin. I don't find that attractive. I prefer my fiances curvy body to a stick figure girl. Just saying. Plus weights a number it does not deifne who you are. Just wish you would under stand that.Dont get depressed because you cant get a date. Theres some out there that will find you attractive. Honestly you dont look that bad at all. Your not fat!

Do you typically gain weight while on your period?

I usually gain a lot of weight when I'm on my period, without changing my diet or amount of exercise, but then loose it all when my period is over. Just a few days ago, I went up to 146 lbs, and now that my period is over I weigh 130 lbs again. Is that normal? It happens every time I get my period.

How to Detox Your Body and Lose Weight at The Same Time

Recommended Answer:

Sixteen pounds is quite a bit to fluctuate by. It is normal to gain some water weight around your period and then loose it afterwards. But anything over 5 lbs is something you should mention to your doctor as that may be a sign of a medical or hormonal issue.

How to become skinny but not bulky-muscular from exercising?

Hi!I'm female, five-foot-five, and 123 lbs. I want to lose weight (I have a little bit of fat here and there), and I know proper dieting/working out will do the job. What are some exercises I could do (Pilates, running, biking, etc.) that would kill off fat but not make me really muscular? My sister runs, and although she has nice, toned legs, she's not a twig. Plus, dieting tips? Thanks! :) Means the world. —SladeP.S. I would like to be as skinny as Astrid Berges-Frisbey, although I think she's naturally smaller than me.

How to Help Your Dachshund Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

What you are looking to do is definitely achievable, but will take dedication. If you don't want to put on any extra muscle, then what you're looking for is cardio workouts. Running is a good cardio workout, but like you said, will definitely beef up your leg muscles. If that isn't something you're looking for, then I do have a few other options.Get a jump rope. Use it everyday, starting out at like 5 minutes (doesn't sounds like much, but do 5 minutes straight and you'll be pretty winded) and build your way up to like 10-15 minutes each day. Jump rope is one of the best cardio (and fat burning) exercises you can do. I did boxing for a few years, and we all jumped rope to get in shape.Also do swimming. Its a good overall toning workout, won't make you bulky, and is easy on your joints. Combine this with your jumping rope, and you'll get toned in no time:).As far as diet is concerned, don't get too scrupulous and picky. Basically cut soda out of your diet completely, most sugary foods, and don't eat too much fatty foods like mayonnaise and cream cheese. Some is fine, just don't have two bagels from DD for breakfast ;). Also another trick is to try curbing your afternoon hunger with a veggie snack with maybe just a little more substance. One I like is celery sticks with peanut better. Yum!! Good source of protein, too. Or maybe an apple along with a piece of toast. I wouldn't get overly concerned with 'calorie counting' - also make sure you're drinking enough water to keep your body hydrated so it can burn fat. Hope that helps :).

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.

Can someone with diabetes or insulin resistant give me some advice?

Hi, I am a 28 year old male. About two years ago, I started getting dizzy spells, and what felt like low blood sugar episodes. These episodes would be fixed with food.

Fast forward to now and the episodes are much worse and about 3 hours apart unless I eat something right on time. I also wake up from any nap feeling bad and have to eat asap.

I am now 50 pounds heavier since this all started @ 225lbs and 5''8 and have also been on high blood pressure meds for a year now.

My fasting sugar as of last week is 108.

My A1C was 5.4 about a year go/30 pounds ago(not sure of my current A1C)

And my fasting insulin as of last week was 30 - which I understand is high?

The issue:

I still

get these low blood sugar "feeling" episodes - but when I check my sugars with a meter during these attacks - it''s never that low. I can get an attack at 100!. Even at 110 I''ve gotten an attack.

These attacks are every classic low BS symptom. Shaking, confusion,blurry vision. Eating fixes it, but the food wears off some times after only 2 hours.

I also notice if I don''t eat at least 400 calories per meal - I don''t feel good.

I met with an endo, and she was VERY quick with me. I had no time to ask much of anything.

She said I might be pre diabetic or insulin resistant?, but couldn''t explain why I have hypo episodes @ normal to high numbers.

She just told me to take 1,000mg of Metformin once a day, but I am afraid this will cause my low BS attacks to be worse.

If anyone has any insight on my symptoms, I would love another opinion.

Thanks a lot.

PS Here''s some other MISC medical info on me if it helps:

- I''ve always had very mild hypoglycemia since I was a kid - very mild. If I didn''t eat within 4 hours or so, I felt a little off, but NOTHING like the episodes now. I also had a few hands shaking type of attacks in my teens, but nothing this frequent

- I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnia as I haven''t slept for more than 5 hours at a time since this all started. I am just now starting CPAP therapy but still haven''t gotten more than 5 hours of sleep straight.

- My testosterone is also low, so the endo put me on Androgel

- My trigylcerites are "very" high

- I have a non alcoholic fatty liver

- I am woken up every morning with the urge to pee - this began when I got my first dizzy spells. It doesn''t matter if I don''t consume liquids before bed, I ALWAYS have to pee right when I wake up. It did not used to be like that.

How to Get Motivated to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:
You''ve written a lot, but I''ll try to address what I can. Your A1c was on the high end of normal and your fasting blood sugar falls in pre-diabetic range. Your insulin levels are, I believe, quite high. That happens due to insulin resistance. Insulin takes glucose into the cells to be utilized as energy, but your cells are somewhat resistant. Your pancreas makes more insulin in response to force more glucose into the cells.

The high triglycerides, high blood pressure, weight gain, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are classic signs of someone who''s suffering from insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

I should also point out that insulin resistance, although worsened by being overweight, probably caused some of your weight gain. In most people who have insulin resistance, muscle cells become resistant first and fat cells remain some of the least resistant. All that insulin you''re producing ushers glucose into your fat cells more than your muscle cells. And as you gain, your insulin resistance only becomes more severe.

As for why you''re having the feelings of low blood sugar even when your blood sugar isn''t low, there are probably many reasons. First, you''re a pre-diabetic, so I can basically guarantee you''re having high blood sugar spikes after meals. These blood sugar spikes are occurring because there''s delayed signaling from your gut to your pancreas to release insulin and because of your insulin resistance. Because you''re pre-diabetic, though, your insulin resistance and insulin signaling aren''t as impaired as they would be in a full-blown diabetic, so although you''re spiking, you''re also making a crapload of insulin eventually. This insulin is reactively dropping your blood sugar. While 100 mg/dL isn''t low, it''s a lot lower than 150 mg/dL or 200 mg/dL or wherever you''re spiking. The rapid drop itself can make you feel low even if the final number isn''t hypoglycemic.

You can also get used to higher blood sugar, so lower, more normal numbers suddenly feel low to you. That happened to me. I was diagnosed with blood sugar over 300 mg/dL, so when my levels dropped to 150 mg/dL or so within the first week, I thought I was dying. I had horrible hypoglycemic symptoms, but my blood sugar was still far too high.

The calories aren''t what''s making you feel better. You''re feeling better because you''re spiking your blood sugar. Carbohydrates, more specifically, are what''s doing that.

If you want to lower the triglycerides, improve your fatty liver, lower your insulin levels, and lower your blood sugar, then my advice is that you get on a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet yesterday. No calorie counting necessary. What does that diet look like? Cut out the grains, rice, beans, oats, corn, potatoes, and most fruits. Eat mainly meat, cheese, eggs, nuts, seeds, butter, olive oil, coconut oil, cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy whipping cream. Eat unlimited natural fats, moderate protein, and very low carb, like <20-30 grams per day.

To give you background on me: diagnosed Type 2 when I was 25. I was morbidly obese, had high blood pressure, A1c was 11%, had high triglycerides, was showing signs of very high insulin levels. I was extremely sick. I adopted the low-carbohydrate diet, had bacon and eggs for breakfast, full-fat cream in my coffee, steaks for dinner. I lost over 100 pounds, dropped my triglycerides to below 100, improved my cholesterol, dropped my blood pressure, and lowered my A1c to 4.8%. My BMI is now 21 and, although I am not "cured," I am a very well-managed diabetic. I also don''t get the symptoms of extreme hunger and low blood sugar because I am not spiking my blood sugar with high-carbohydrate foods and then rebounding with a flood of insulin. My BGs stay low and stable, so I feel good. Get off the carbohydrate roller coaster and fill your kitchen with low-carbohydrate delicious foods.

P.S. The Metformin won''t make the episodes worse. Metformin mainly works by improving your IR and suppressing some of your liver''s production of glucose, which lowers your insulin levels. This is what you want. In combination with a low-carbohydrate diet, I believe your symptoms will go away.

hello...metformin is well branded medication. more then 70% of american diabetic patients are prescribed that. But offcourese you have to use it to see how well it''s helps you. start with the dose that you doctor gave you. But make sure you keep the track how you feel after wards. And yes for diabetic person it''s must that they eat every 3 hours or soo until unless if their sugar is high or something then they shuld not eat. Next time when you go to see any doctor prior going there make a list on paper write it down what questions you would like to ask her/him? Doctors are like that soo since you are paying them better get ready there. For sleep did you tried any sleeping meds yet?

Is my diet ok as I have been trying to lose 30lb for ages and it''s not working?

This is my diet everyday:

Breakfast;
- 2 scrambled eggs
- half a tin of beans

Snack;
- muller rice

Dinner;
- 300g Tesco finest green pea and ham soup.

I need to lose 30 lb in 5 months but I''ve been trying for a while now and nothing is working
I do at least 5 hours of sport a week!

The Truth About Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
You dont eat enough. You sound like you are in starvation mode. You should eat 1300 cal a day minimum and see a nutritionist ans diet expert to plan a healthy lifestyle.

You should eat a more balanced diet than that. Don''t you get bored with the same food everyday?
One idea is to get off the sugar.... and eat nothing but proteins and fats - that''s the Atkins diet - and people lose weight pretty well on that.

So... sugar is the beans, the rice and probably a goodly amount of the green pea soup. When you eat this stuff, it''s turned to sugar in your blood - if you don''t burn it up, it''s turn to lard to stick on your butt. The idea is to QUIT eating it.

Atkins is meat, eggs, cheese, nuts and green salad. Get a used copy of "New Diet Revolution" off of Amazon Books - or look in the library. It''s a great diet - you don''t have to starve yourself. But NOT eating sugar has a profound effect - it''s really great.

Anyway, this might lead to more weight loss - take a look at the book.
The less food you eat, the more weight you’ll lose, right? Sorry, but it just doesn’t work this way.If you are looking for a full comprehensive diet and nutrition program that will help you lose your unwanted body fat
