Can I lose weight by doing this?

recently my friend started drinking an iced coffe in the morning, eat nothing during the day and then a small healthy dinner like spicy chicken or vegtables. She got really skinny by doing this, so I was wondering if it would actually be an effective method for weight loss combined with exercise?

How to Lose Weight Properly

Recommended Answer:

To lose weight you need to expend more calories than you take in. The more you exercise, the more you can eat and still lose weight but you have to get enough nutrition to be healthy. Yes you can lose weight just doing that but you should really have at least 1000 calories per day to remain healthy...

  • Any trainer will tell you "what works for you might not always work for someone else" or vice versa. This means, you're better off not doing something risky like that, and just do something "the right way". Try by cutting down on your portions of food; drink lots of water; make sure you add calcium (but not over abundant) calcium is good for obvious reasons, aside from its use in preventing kidney stones.
  • It's not healthy and your most lately will gain it back when you start eating normally. My friend did this and she only gained about 5 kilos from 20kgs but again she didn't start eating straight away what she wanted after the weight loss. She just ate each week More than the week before :-)
  • As what i have seen before from books. Coffee is an appetite suppressant but correct me if im wrong... Does she use diy iced coffee or bought in grocery stores?

Best medication for anxiety, depression, and weight loss? Paxil with Orlistat?

I suffer from anxiety and mild-depression. I'm male, 20, considered morbidly obese. I've tried Paxil but I RAPIDLY gained weight on that. I've tried Zoloft but it made me so lethargic that I couldn't even get up and take a shower, but it did help with hunger. I'm kinda on a lost of what to try. My doctor is a nurse practitioner and she isn't the most knowledgeable about these. Paxil helped tremendously but I couldn't stop gaining. Anyone know how hard it is to get Orlistat prescribed? It's the prescription version of Alli weight loss pill (which I have used before). If I could have my pick I really want to try Paxil and Orlistat together but I don't know if that's something she could prescribe. Any advice?

ideas for losing weight?

Hi I'm 16 year old guy and I weigh about 12 stone which is overweight for my age, I'm actually quite tall so that adds a little extra weight but anyway, I don't really look fat in clothes, like you couldn't tell unless I took my shirt off but I have that little belly fat that everyone hates and is really hard to get rid of. I kind of want to lose as much weight as possible until I am happy. I just wanted some ideas for dieting meals that aren't to extreme and exercises and things I could do, I have a bike, skateboard, longboard (currently don't have skateboard or longboard available) and pretty big garden. I don't really like much when it comes to healthy stuff but some things I do like are: apples, pears, bananas, pineapple juice, peas and broccoli. I'm sure there are other things I can try but I want a good healthy diet without it being 100% healthy stuff. What type of cardio exercises and stuff can I do at home to help burn fat and increase muscle?Thanks in advance if anyone can help. :)

How to Reduce Body Fat Without Losing Weight

Recommended Answer:

So I was reading a post by Shaun T (famous dude who created a bunch of workout programs on TV n stuff), and he discussed something on how to successfully eat healthy.Take a piece of paper, make a line down the middle, and on one side, write all the healthy foods you enjoy. On te other side, write the foods you like to eat but aren't healthy.Eat 80% from the healthy side and 20% from the other side.I believe this is a good simple beginning approach to dieting so you can eat healthy without feeling deprived. It doesn't mean you stuff everything and anything in your mouth, it means you enjoy treats in moderaSHAUN.as for the exercise, if you don't have a gym, you can always go out for a bike ride outside. As long as you are pushing yourself and breaking a sweat, you're burning calories. Try to do it as often as you'd like- I'd try at least every other day. As long as you're enjoying it :)

  • I'm too tired now to write it all out but if you email me at sam.hegxx@yahoo.ie , I'll give you all the advice you need. I recently finished a 12 week weightloss programme and lost a stone. I was given not a diet ( don't call it that ) ... it's just changing your eating habits for life. A diet is more of changing what you eat drastically and then you end up giving up. I also did exercise twice a week!

How to Get a Chihuahua to Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

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.

How to Lose Weight Fast: 14 Things You Can Do to Lose Weight Quickly!

Recommended Answer:
First off why can''t you diet? Can''t because of medical reasons or won''t because you are a food addict??
I will tell you right now that you will not lose fat and inches without a combination of diet an exercise. There is no magic pill to help you lose weight and aside from starving yourself which takes away muscle not fat then the only way is to choose to commit to a diet and exercise plan.
I would recommend either joining a gym or you can view many workouts free on YouTube. But the healthy diet is not optional you need to eat healthy foods to lose weight. You can eat a ton of food but those foods need to be fruits and vegetables salads an lean proteins and low fat dairy etc...
Try joining myfitnesspal.com it''s free. Track your food intake for just one day and see if you are setting yourself up for disappointment by overeating etc...
Good luck

  • You can''t target weight loss when you workout and diet you will lose it all around not just one area

    is there a reason why you can''t diet? i don''t consider it a diet i consider it a life style change to just eat healthier you should eat 6 small portioned meals/snacks instead of three large ones

    its 20 % diet 80% workouts
  • Well, diets will help a lot, but sometimes they are my needed anyways! If you do not eat good you will not lose weight! I would do lots of running! If you have an iPhone get the app 0 to 5k (the free version) it''s a running guide for beginners, and it''s easy in the beginning and works GREAT for getting in shape! Squats and lunges really help thighs! Do sit-ups, crunches, and planks every night to help get you stomach more flat! But again, if you are not eating right, nothing will help! Include lots of fruit, veggies, and water with what you eat! If you drink a glass of water before every meal you tend to eat a lot less (which is good if ou over eat)
  • If you can''t diet then exercise more, you need to burn more calories to lose weight.
  • do cardio everyday except weekend (you can do it on weekends) and just eat healthier you should eat 6 small portioned meals/snacks instead of three large ones

How can I starve myself without my mum noticing?

I want to lose weight, I do around and hour and a half of exercise a day but my mum wont cook healthy food as my brother is fussy and only wants junk. I want to eat as healthy as I can but my mum wont so the only solution I can come up with is to simply not eat. I always feel fat and I hate it. I want to loose around 40 pounds, how can I starve myself without my mum noticing?
I would cook for myself but my mum doesnt buy that sort of food.

Quickest Way to Lose Weight - How Lose Weight Quickly

Recommended Answer:
Wanting to eat healthy and wanting to starve yourself are completely different things, I hope you realize that.

It''s good that you''re exercising for and hour and a half, that is absolutely necessary for weight loss. Running is a great way to exercise if you aren''t running already. But make sure that you do give your body some recovery time so your muscles can actually grow, not too much, but maybe choose one day a week when you will exercise lighter and then do something like yoga.

If your mother refuses to buy healthy food then for now what I would do is simply count calories. You''ve made it very clear that you think it''s impossible to get her to buy healthy food, so you''ll just have to take what you can get. You want to be eating about 1800(Realize that I don''t now how tall/old you are, so look up how many calories a day you need for your height/age/weight/etc.) to loose weight and keep it off, if you go too low then your body will go into starvation mode and hold onto all of your fat, and then, when you finally stop starving yourself (because you can''t do it forever, you may think you can, but you can''t) and eat all of the unhealthy food you say you have it will go straight back into fat. Do NOT drink diet soda though, EVER. That shit is nasty. Drink water, as much water as you can, because if you really only have junk food then your body''s gonna need a lot of help trying to get all of the toxins out of your body.

You can always buy your own groceries, if you really want to. Earn money babysitting or walking your neighbors dog (which is also exercise so that would be good too), stuff like that. Yeah, maybe it''s more fun to blow your money on something else, but if you are really committed you will take that money and buy yourself some decent food. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans, water, and anything that grows straight out of the ground that you can eat in it''s original and natural form (for example, an apple would be better than nasty processed applesauce). If you are going to be buying your own groceries then I can see why you might choose the cheaper veggies over the organic ones, but when you have a choice, pick foods with one ingredient on the label (for example some organic, unsalted peanut butter might have "Organic roasted peanuts" as its only ingredient, where stuff like Skippy and Jiff would have that, plus sugar, plus hydrogenated oils, and other shit).

Make friends with people who eat healthy, seriously. Go over to their house and have a healthy dinner with them instead of an unhealthy dinner at your house. I know that sounds bad but hey, you want to be healthy and loose that 40lbs right?

And last but not least, talk to your mother about what you would like to eat, why you want to eat that, and how it would benefit not only you, but her and your brother as well. Look up grocery costs if that''s the issue, and make a valid argument.

  • orrr.. cook for youself.
    (added: you can eat the food she buys, just prepare it without all the extra fats and stuff. It''s about portion sizes)
  • DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. Your body needs that energy and whatever nutrients that are contained in it, starving yourself could be dangerous if the body is put under more than it can handle.
  • Starving yourself is about the worst thing you can do to your body. Instead, why not ask to go grocery shopping with your mom or offer to cook 2 healthy meals a night? Or educate your family on healthful eating choices. Don''t starve yourself. That is a hard, tough, painful road to go down
  • Starving yourself will not make you loose weight because when you do eat then the food will be stored as fat instead of being used for energy so you will be fat anyway. The better solution is to cook for yourself or try to eat the least amount of junk food as you can with out starving yourself. Try to stop drinking pop because that will also help. Exersize more and drink lots of water. Sometimes when you feel hungery u are actually thirsty. DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF!!! It won''t help it will just make you more unhealthy
  • Don''t starve yourself worst possible option!
    Eat healthier and cut down on junk food!
    Try to ask your mom if you can start shopping with her and buy healthier foods when you''re with her.
    Ask her if the two of you can join a gym together... or join a zumba class so much fun!
    Good luck, luv dumpling
  • just throw it up after you eat it
  • Protip when you starve yourself your body goes into starvation mode and the first thing you eat will be stored as fat and Your body will start burning muscle aswell as fat. So... DONT DO IT :<




    Second Protip Don''t DRINK ANYTHING Except for water.
    Third Protip: try and walk an hour a day
  • when you starve yourself, you will lose weight.
    but if you Eat anything, you Will regain weight by the DOUBLE AMOUNT

    the best way to lose weight is

    1) diet ( low calories)
    2) Cardio Workouts
    3) Strenght Workouts
    4) Supplements

Quit smoking for a whole month, now NEED to loose weight?

I am about 10kg overweight, but I have quit smoking for over a month now :) Still I'm taking the nicabate mint lozenges.

I need to loose weight now, and I want to do an exercise that doesn't need concentration as I like to listen to music while exercising and dream about rather than running in the outside etc to watch out for cars.

I haven't been eating healthier lately, but doing that too and not eating after 5pm also (but a healthy breakfast and lunch with fruit and veggies inbetween).

Can someone help me with this? Also something that I can do at home would be great as I don't want to join a gym.

Foods to Lose Weight Healthily

Recommended Answer:
WOOHOOO!!!! I QUIT A MONTH AGO TO ! EVEN IF I DONT KNOW YOU CONGRATULATIONS ! i know after you smoke you replace it with eating for every cigarette and doesn't it suck?! now i replace every stress and cig craving with a workout. Joining the gym is POINTLESS ! trust me until your at the weight your satisfied in then dont go. Once you are go to get toned and you say now you dont want a workout that takes alot of concentration but little do you know once you've worked out for a 1 week or 2 you'll wanna push yourself to something different and more that does take concentration like swimming in an indoors pool running WITH HEADPHONES and watching for cars. Plus you need to put the work to look good ;) trust me ! I was sooo over weight and now I push people to workout with me I feel so good now. My opinion though go on youtube.com and search insanity workout day 1 and do all of those its just running but im letting you know now it is going to kick your butt not really concentration just letting you know as the workout routine ends you have to go faster and faster until its time to stop and take a rest good luck god bless and do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The best strategy is a combination of calorie reduction and exercise; fairly simple.
    The best form of exercise for the purpose of loosing weight is aerobic or "cardio" work; exercise that gets your heart rate elevated into the working zone and maintains it there for the desired period.
    There are lots of choices...
    If you don't want to dodge cars outside... Then consider a stationary bike or treadmill. Efficient if boring. You can "dial in" the amount of effort and if you stick with it they can be quite effective.

    Also, various forms of "aerobic" exercise... The currently-popular "Zumba" thing is just yet another form of the "heavyhands" exercise program developed by Dr. Schwartz many years ago.
    Aerobic exercise with light hand-weights... Done to music.
    Richard Simmons isn't bad... I've watched some of his programs and there is nothing there that will hurt you... He may be a little over the top but his exercise physiology is sound.

Sport to lose weight?

I want to lose weight and I plan to join any of these sports activities.. Which one do you guys think is the best for weight loss?

Ok I am going to try out for all these sports and I have a friend who is joining with me hehe. We had a deal to try out all the sport ccas that we are ok with. They are(in order of interest):
1) volleyball
2) badminton
3) track and field
4) table tennis
5) tennis
6) netball
7) touch rugby
8) cycling
9) basketball
10) squash
11) softball
12) biathlon
13) floorball
14) cricket
15) hockey

All th sports will be done 2 times a week and 3 hours each time except track and field which is 3 times a week, 2 hours each time.

Besides doing one sport, should I exercise on my own too? Or is 6 hours of exercise per week enough exercise? My diet would be as follows:
B: a cup of fibre drink (120kcal)
L: an egg, a low calorie home made sandwich, a banana
D: a bowl of broth, a small bowl of veggies, an apple

I'm short so I can't eat a lot. I'm only 5'2

How Thai Food Can Help You Lose Weight

Recommanded Answer:
Volleyball is soo much fun, it is by far my favorite sport-but unless you are on a club team where your coach is giving you workouts, you probably won't lost much weight from participating in it. I would recommend cycling, tennis, and track and field. You get more reps in, more running=using more energy=burning fat

As for your diet, I've been dieting/experimenting and I found that it was annoying to stick to one thing but I educated myself on different types of foods and how each macromolecule (fats, carbs, proteins) effects your body so basically, eat a lot of fiber and salad because salad will help wash you out, just like water. If you want to be more toned along with the sport that you chose, have lots of protein. My mom's friend who is a spin instructor gave me this which may interest you:

7am-1/3c oatmeal with berries and 4 egg whites + 1 women's multivitamin and fish
oil

10am-1/3c brown rice/quinoa and 5oz chicken/fish

1pm-apple or 1/2c 0% Greek yogurt with handful of berries

4pm-protein shake and a scoop of greens or vegetables

7pm-salad with chicken and 1/4 avocado + 1 fish oil

Remember-the key is not to eat as little as you can (according to this diet above or any diet for that matter) the key is to put good stuff in your body and you'll get good stuff out. Yes, you can eat a lot (ik surprising right?!!). I'm not saying to purposely over-eat, but eat enough and don't feel like you need to eat less just because you're short. Just know what to eat at what time. For example, don't eat a bowl of pasta and then sit on the couch watching tv because that pasta will just turn into stored fat. If you are going to have a bowl of pasta, its a good idea to have it before physical activity so you burn it off.

If you stick with a plan of eating better foods (ex: unsaturated fats like fish and avocados and not so much steak and bacon) you'll find that you no longer crave really sugary/salty bad for you snack foods and along with the exercise that you do, you'll be fit in no time!

  • Track and field, tennis, cycling, basketball, softball, and biathlon. If you want long term weight loss though, do what interests you most. You'll stick to it longer. Yes, if it heightens your heart rate, six hours of exercise is enough. And yes that sounds like a good diet. Just beware of processed food.

  • the way i see it, that sort of regeneration is 99% diet. and i mean serious whole foods, traditional, organic, super high nutrient foods. loosing weight is one thing, but true cellular regeneration takes extensive detox(years worth) and very high quality nutrients. leafy greens will be one of your biggest tools! they are sooo powerful. high omega 3 animal foods will be another. when i say high omega 3 i mean organic, grass fed, home grown or as close to it as you can find. unfortunately that aint cheep though..makes me mad! do your best, and keep in mind that your ability to do something is mainly controlled by your desire and perseverance.

Is it possible I'll loose weight if I quit smoking weed?

I'm just curious if it's possible I might lose weight if I stop smoking. I love smoking, so this is why I don't want to quit if there is no benefit out of it. I smoke usually 2 or 3 times a day. I usually eat a lot when I get home from my friends' house at like 10 at night because of the munchies. When I go a day without smoking I hardly eat anything that day. Any experiences with this?

Thank you! :)

If I eat healthy food but big portions will I still lose weight ?

I just went to the grocery store & I bought Special K cereal , Special K chips , chicken breast , green bell peppers & broccoli & I've already eaten mostly all of it or at least tried it. Will I still lose weight as long as I'm not eating fast food & still eating foods that are healthy for me ???

Recommanded Answer:
No.

To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you eat.

I'd suggest you start tracking the calories you eat and the calories you burn until you have a better idea of what your body really needs. Sparkpeople.com has been really helpful for me in that way.

  • If you aren't eating the correct portions and exercising I'm pretty sure you won't loose much. You might loose a but, but not much.
