If I drank bottled grapefruit juice, would it have the same effect as eating actual grapefruits?

I've heard of grapefruits having something in them that spurs weight loss so I have 2 bottles of OceanSpray's 100% Pink Grapefruit Juice from concentrate. It already says it has 17 grams of sugar in it so should I add more to dull the sourness? I want weight loss results fast and I've been doing a quick 5 minute excersize routine with my mom before chores but I'm worried about the sugar in it. Will the juice give me the same results as if I had eaten real grapefruits? Thanks in advance :)

Harvard Research Reveals Ultimate Weight Loss Benefits - 10 Steps to Lose Weight Forever!

Recommended Answer:
I would suggest not dieting in that way. Yes, a caloric deficit is how you lose weight. But you don''t want to create the deficit by starving your body. You want to meet your basal metabolic rate for your body (you can find b.m.r. calculators online) and create the caloric deficit through exercise. You will lose weight with what you are doing but as soon as you end the diet it will all come back. Plus you are messing with all kinds of bodily processes and hormone levels. Losing weight by creating the deficit through exercise and not starvation is more permanent. I am 6 foot 2 and 190 pounds and my basal metabolic rate is around 3500 calories a day so I imagine your 1200 calorie diet is not good for your body in the long run.

• Depending how old u are. If lets say you are still going through purbety, you lose weight very rapidly most probably result is shown after one month or so.
• this might help abit:
  
  drink your weight in water this will all process out along with exes fat
  exercise 30 mins to an hour a day (try cycling,swimmmign jogging)
  cut out ALL oiley and fatty foods (I am sure you already knew this)
  and if you have a dog (or can get one) walk it mabey every 3/4 hours cause your dog will get exercise and so will you (I have burned off a lot of fat this way)
  
  hope this will help

How can I make my face loose weight?

How can I make my face skinnier so you can see cheek bones and its not like a circle ?

Great Options For You to Lose Weight Naturally

Recommended Answer:
You''d have to lose weight everywhere for some of it to leave your face. People with prominent cheek bones are either born that way (Native American?), too skinny, or a combination of makeup.

A good plan would be:

Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.

Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...

If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant.

• I don''t think there''s a diet for the face lol! You''d have to do a diet for your entire body.
• You can''t really target weight loss. If you go on a 30-60 minute walk everyday and then use a treadmill for 10-15 minutes after that then it can help. Cardio helps all over, so it will get the fat on your face after a few months. I also found this video that could help here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O546OefzTMg on youtube called face exercises, lose your chubby cheeks. There are actually a lot of videos online about how to shape your face muscles and make your cheek bones more noticeable. Just go to youtube. I don''t know if it actually works, but it couldn''t hurt to try.

Gaining weight quickly?

I am 110 and I want to be 115 ideally within the next 2 weeks. How can I do this? I want to gain 5 pounds with of healthy fat to look less stick-like. Anything helps! :)

Tips for Losing Weight Fast - Burn the Fat or Eat the Muscle?

Recommended Answer:
My suggestion is to try to gain 5 pounds in a month or so rather than in 2 weeks. This is because the chances of you succeeding by gaining 5 pounds in a month is higher compared to gaining it in 2 week. Unless you have the financial backing to hire me, fly me over and do a workout stint and diet for you, here is what I can provide for you over the internet.

The key thing about diet is to eat more calories. This does not mean you feed yourself huge meals 3 times a day. This will lead to indigestion, gastric pains and other digestive complications because there is only so much your body can digest at one time. The idea is to eat more meals a day, preferably 6. This can be difficult if you are on the move all day like I'm so I suggest just stick to your 3 meals like you do but bring a long a liter of milk with you before you leave the house. Drink 500ml of milk in between each of your meal and finish the last dose 2 hours after dinner. This will provide the extra calories you need to gain weight. If after a week your weight is still not going up, simply increase the amount of milk you drink by 100ml and stick to your normal portions for your normal meals. Keep doing this until you gain the weight you need to. You should be putting on roughly a pound a week in my opinion. Once you gotten 2-3 pounds, it is time to focus on getting the right workout to help you build muscles and ensure that your body gain weight more steadily.

The best workout to do in order to grow muscle mass in terms of size is to do a high weight low repetition workout called hypertrophy. This will adjust your muscles to use the food you eat as the main source of energy rather than oxygen like smaller muscles do. If you are starting out to gain muscle mass, perhaps you should download the program at http://gohforth.com. This program has been extremely effective for me personally and also benefited my clients very well.

One thing that many people miss out is the fact that sleep is extremely important to help you gain weight and maintain a strong immune system. This is because when you stay up late, have interrupted sleep cycle or not enough hours of rest, you will burn more calories throughout the day and this means that you have to eat more or risk loosing weight. This is made worse if your metabolism is like mine in the past and this will probably mean you will lose up to 3-4 pounds in a week due to poor quality sleep. The road is long and tough, but as long as your stick by the 3 things which is a high calorie diet, sleep well and do the right workout regime, you will see roughly a 1 pound of muscle weight gain a week. I hoped I have helped you.

How to Lose Weight Really Fast in 3 Easy Steps

Recommended Answer:
Turn on music and dance like wild. Let your hair down once in a while. Go back to the days of wild childhood. Close the door of your room, turn on your sound system to the highest volume possible (but a little lower than the level at which your neighbors start to complain) and then do the wackiest dance that you can think of. Jump on your bed and jump off it again. Roll all over the floor. Pretend that you are Michael Jackson or Madonna (you will never see them keeping still) and do ever boogie move that you know.

• just watch your portions. eat healthy, exercise, and done!
• Read your question...
  
  Get off your butt and exercise and eat right.
  
  It's that easy.
• Annie
  Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.
