Does coconut oil make you lose weight?

My mom just showed me this Asian tv show about losing weight and this one girl prob I'm her mid 20s lost like 10-20 pounds by adding coconut oil into her foods when cooking. Is this fake? I mean there were pictures and I heard its really good for you. BtwI'm talking about like organic coconut oil. I want to lose pounds really fast because I don't lose weight quick unless I burn 1000 calories a day but that's too much for me so I'm thinking about buying coconut oil.

How to Lose Weight With Shift Work

Recommended Answer:

Extra virgin coconut oil is an amazing fat source. Don't listen to the guy that said that its "bad" because its saturated. Fat is not bad. Your body needs fat. When fat is unsaturated that means that it oxidizes more easily and releases free radicals in your body. I would not cook with coconut oil. I would eat it straight. Make sure its organic as well.As far as loosing weight its not a secret. Get rid of the junk food (chips, pop, etc.) and start exercising.

• No, there is a lot of saturated fat in coconut oil. Avocados are a much better weight loss food.http://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/healthy-eating/avocado-health-benefits-3-reasons-you-should-be-eating-them.html

I work out then stop for like 3 months. WTF is wrong with me?!?

I never worked out and saw any results thats how bad its getting. I work out for like a month then stop for three months. My motivation is so weak. I've been going through depression and I always think me being in shape is not going to help shit because its problems that I have beyond being in shape. I only weighed 120Ibs this year now after I went to the doctor I found out I gained 10Ibs more. It surprised me and it surprised my mom and sister too because I always would preach good health and fitness but I wasnt doing it, and that is REALLY embarassing to go through. I felt like shit and I cant even fit in my darn clothes anymore and im starting school next week. I need a good work out routine and fitness tips!

I think I could do wayyy more than that.Thnx for reading my shit1y question :)

How to Lose Weight Quickly

Recommended Answer:

Wow. I used to be almost exactly like that. Depressed with weak motivation.I REALLY want to help you, so please take everything you read to heart!1. Realize you want to change your body for the better-permanently. Really believe in yourself! Love yourself enough to look in the mirror and say you deserve better.2. Stay motivated. You can look at pictures of yourself that you think you look fat in (I do this, it works :p). Something I do all the time is look at before and after weight loss on tumblr. I also have a board on Pinterest labeled Exercise, Health, and Motivation. After a workout, I add more pins to it and I just feel more motivated. Try all of these things and see which one you like best! :)3. Drink a TON of water! If you don't drink enough water, your body will hold on to water because it doesn't know when it will get more. Drinking more helps! :D4. Don't eat late at night! All calories count no matter when you eat them, but your body digests a lot more slowly when your sleeping and I read somewhere that when you're sleeping, you also don't digest properly?5. Go here.: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkfyS1SD.ulVpJAQEr3iWobsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130814190218AAvbMQFI explain everything else I know about losing weight in the super long answer I gave. :p But it all works for me! I lost 7 pounds in almost a month! Maybe it'll work for you and next month, you could be almost back to 120! :DGood luck to you and I hope you feel better soon!Oh, and stretch before a workout! Don't want to pull anything. :)

• Leg toning work out: 20 lunges on each leg, 30 squats, 35 second wall sit, and 30 calf raises. Do each one 3 timesRunning in intervals and core exercises help a lot, but it also matters what you eat!!!!Keep a picture of a lady with the dream body you want so you can see your goal, or maybe a quote that inspires you? Or you could think of how much you want to weigh and think about that! If all else fails, think of the bikini body!

Great Options For You to Lose Weight Naturally

Recommended Answer:
It is very possible. Make a motive for youself though, determination is the key. Run everyday if you can go to the gym whatever exercise you enjoy doing on your own. Eat healthy i can not stress enough about that aha. eating healthy is the key to losing weight. Do hot yoga also burning off your water weight. And whatever you do, do not give up or get lazy thats what takes you down.

• It''s humanly possible but you''re not going to do that, sorry. That''s the kind of weight loss 400-pounders may get when they finally stop eating 10,000 calories a day and go on a real diet.
• No your only supposed to loose 3 pounds a week at the most or else it is unhealthy and very bad for you
• While that is possible, that is an aggressive amount to weight to lose so quickly. It is better & easier to lose weight slower, good luck.
• Probally not without INSANE WORK! I suggest going to a vitamin store, like GMC, or Vitamin World, and getting a metabolistic vitamin (dont b cheap) That will also help you gain muscle. Do shakology, or special k. I suggest you try vegetarian, and blend ALL your food. Dont eat grain, and dont eat 3 hrs b4 bed. Dont pig out, and do lots of research. Buy P90X, or INSANITY, and do what they teach you to do.
  
  I DONT SUGGEST TRYING TO LOSE THIS MUCH WEIGHT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME! But, if you spend some money, and have the proper determination, you will look super sexy by summer with this way of living. STAY HEALTHY!
• Holy Mother******. Start running for like 4-5 hours a day.

How to Burn Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:
Okay, so say you have a big bag of chips. Instead of eatig out of the bag, which will allow you to continuosly keep eating poor a certain amount into a bowl BUT LOOK AT THE SERVING SIZE!!! Also if u eat foods with alot of proyein and low fat you will be losing weight and youll get filled up quicker. Some of these might include peanut butter in controlled quantities and lean meats perhaps. Look up some of those and give that a shot. Also exercise is essential to losing weight. So remember, whenever you feel like exercising think of how happy youll be after and when you are in shape again. Also try playing an exciting song to get you pumped up. Hope I could help! :)

• Only keep 1 day''s worth of food in ur fridge at a time
• You can always put limits on how much you eat. But I really recommend trying not to eat after about six, its good for you and will help to maintain weight. Hope this helps, good luck.
• fill 2 empty gallons with water and make sure you drink them throughout the day. It will help you feel full and it will help your metabolism
• Eating is a habit, a bad habit. I broke my habit by going on a four day fast, water only.
  What I learned was amazing, you actually can go without food with no bad effects, and your outlook on food changes completely, and I looked and felt so much better after, next time I will try for ten days.
• Don''t stock up too much unhealthy food, even if it''s cheaper to buy by bulk, just buy by piece. You could also try to do detox. It takes about 2 weeks to clear your system of all unhealthy toxin and after that your craving will be reduce significantly. Then you can start to plan your meal, start by cutting down sugar and carb , eat more vegetable and protein . If you are still craving for something sweet, you can do a compromise by allowing yourself 1 cheat day per week. Good Luck
• Drink 8oz water b 4 u start eating every things. That will fill u up! Make u eat less.. ;)

I am 16 and I look and feel like an ugly 12 year old?

I am a girl btw. I stopped growing, and I am 5''0. I have a flat chest and try to gain weight but im still skinny. Yet i have a chubby face... Guys look over me probably because I look so young. When will I actually GROW THE HELL UP and be hot/ beautiful, NOT "cute"? I get looks at the makeup counter because the ladies think I am "too young" for makeup! Ugh! Help?

How Can I Lose Weight in a Healthy Way?

Recommended Answer:
If you are looking to break away from the image of being a 12 year old in people''s eyes, I suggest you start to carry yourself like an 18 year old and be assertive and make your own decision. I suggest you look into eating a high calorie diet, sleep well and do the right workout to help you physically break that stereotype that people may have but that also needs to be done with the right poise and grace of a lady.

I would suggest eating a high calorie diet instead of one filled with fat is because your body only requires a certain amount of fat which you can possibly get from the excess calories from your carbohydrate. I also do not suggest so much protein as a fuel source as it leaves behind nitrates which can be put your kidneys and liver under unnecessary stress. I would suggest eating things like potatoes, biscuits, pasta, noodles, rice and bread in order to get the high calorie diet from carbohydrates. If fixing 6 meals up can be a problem due to the lack of time or if you are looking for something more convenient, I would suggest looking to drink 500ml of milk in between your meal for a total of 3 times a day. Increase the amount of milk you drink by 100ml for each serving every week if you realize that you do not gain weight after a week of effort.

The next thing to get right is definitely sleep even before exercise. This is because even if you have the best workout and you get improper rest or insufficient amount of it, chances are this will cause you to lose weight and fall sick. One particular fact most people do not get right is definitely quality. Quality sleep means you need to sleep and wake up all by yourself. This can be difficult but I will still encourage you to do it on the weekend if possible and sleep the scheduled amount of hours on the weekdays when you are busy.

The workout is the main trigger to help you gain weight. This is done by using the workout at http://gohforth.com which I have seen many of my clients used and see effective results. The result of gaining 1 pound every week is quite possible as this workout will help you to trigger major muscles and help with progressive weight gain with little to no down time.

• ... Don''t let guys like that change the way you are, they don''t control how you look. It''s fine to look like who you are. You don''t need to look "hot/beautiful", being what you are is just perfect. If others don''t agree, let them deal with it.
• You are passing a very crucial time as a teenager. You sound very self-conscious. Just do not look for attention .Boys will come to you when you are not looking for one.
• If you think inside you look 12 then you will on the outside. Just wait and i''m sure you will be fine. And also you don''t have to have big boobs to look pretty, in fact most ''stars'' are flat chested, plus your boobs don''t stop growing till you''re 21...

Quick Weight Loss - How to Lose Weight Quickly

Recommended Answer:
Because you alredy do exercises you should take a look at your diet, maybe it is diet related. What do you usualy eat? Do you eat high calorie foods? Do you eat a lot of ready made dressings, sauces or fatty products? If not do you know what your calorie intake is? I would consider changing your diet into a healthier and more balanced diet, avoid red meats such as cow and pork, eat a lot of vegetables (cooked lightly so they can preserve their vitamins) and boiled rice. Also eat fish and chicken /turkey because even when they have calories they are easily burned and you will not be constantly craving for other foods =) Also cut out the sweets and fried stuff! http://myhealthdiaryhowtoloseweight.blogspot.pt/

• To help you lose weight you can learn to cook for yourself and your family. There are many people out there that already know how to do this and do it well, yet people often make choices of reheating prepackaged foods. Learning how to make simple and healthy meals will support your weight loss goals and you will be helping your family eat healthier as well.
