How to lose weight? Fast ish?

As fast as possible without like dying. I'm 13 and no one tell me that I'm not fat because you haven't even seen me. And I just don't feel pretty. I have a pretty face and hair and eyes, and I would think I was pretty over all if I wasn't so fat. Detailed answers please. I've always been the fat kid and I hate it.

How to Lose Weight Properly

Recommended Answer:

I was always a "chubby" kid too. When I got older, I went on the Atkins diet at the suggestion of a doctor. Atkins works if you want fast and healthy, but it requires a bit of work (meal preparation because you can't eat stuff that's already prepared/frozen, etc.) and changes to the grocery list. Basically you give up carbohydrates, including breads, sugar, rice, pasta, fruit, etc. and only eat meat, veggies, eggs, and cheese for the first two weeks...but you can eat as much as you want so you never feel hungry. All of your carbohydrates will come from vegetables which are healthy, not starchy ones like potatoes, carrots and corn. After the 2 week induction phase you move on to the next phase. You can read about it on the Atkins website.However, at your age, unless you are seriously obese, you might just benefit from trying to eat fewer simple sugars and refined carbohydrates. Soda, juice, chips, cookies, crackers, fruit snacks, junk food, fast food, and everything like it aren't doing you any favors. You may also benefit from reducing your calorie intake (or portion size, if you're not able to determine the calories), or by starting to exercise, or both. Either way, I would suggest that you learn about food, health and diet and get yourself started on a healthy lifestyle now, as it will be easier to maintain than if you were to start at an older age. Good luck to you.

• Aww I'm sorry about that. Just eat a good diet. Fruits, vegetables. Within one month, I've lost 20lbs from walking my neighborhood for an hour and playing Wii Fit, also eating 3 meals a day and chewing slowly. Losing 20lbs in one month is crazy (I think) especially for a 13-year-old like myself. Well I was, now I'm 14. You can do it!

I am getting denied revision gastric bypass, should I change insurance?

The doctor says that he wants me to wait at least 2 years, even though I'm gaining weight.Did lap band and it's not helping. I requested gastric bypass and the doctor said he wants 2 more years of time.Can I switch insurance and approve for gastric bypass?

How to Lose Weight Fast on Fable 2

Recommended Answer:

Most insurance companies do not cover gastric bypass. Those that do will not accept anyone with a BMI high enough to qualify for a bypass.Your issue, though, is not with the insurance company, it is with the doctor. Maybe you could find another doctor?The lap band didn't work because you didn't change your eating habits. Gastric bypass is not going to work if you don't change your eating habits, which is why the doctor is telling you to wait.

Other Answers:

• Going on a diet is free.
• u can if u can afford it.new insurance company may deny u surgery also.plenty of other ways to lose the weight.u will learn to eat food in cigarette pack sized portionsvisit library for 100s of wellness plansbypass has a high recurrence of weight gain also
• The surgical procedures for Obesity do not solve the problems, they just assist the patient in reducing body fat. If you continue your bad eating habits after the surgery you will not lose weight and can cause some serious stomach disorders.
• It's highly unlikely that a different type of weight loss surgery is going to give you a different result. All the surgery does, is force you on a diet. If you refuse to change your eating habits, all the surgery in the world, isn't going to help you.No insurance company is going to take you - right now. It's also quite likely that the time limit to wait before having another bariatric surgery, is a MEDICAL thing, based on the time frame since the LAST one you had. Maybe when you want gastric bypass badly enough to pay for the whole thing yourself, you'd be willing to change your eating habits. Heck, just changing your eating habits alone, will do the trick. I'd strongly suggest the single ingredient diet. If it's a food with more than ONE ingredient - don't eat it.
• No.First, no insurance will approve something just because you want it. If the doctor says that you should wait, then any other insurance will also deny you.Second, if you have already had lap bend and you are still overweight enough to need more surgery, then it is unlikely that any insurance company will let you change to their insurance.

What are some effective workouts?

I'm looking for workouts for my legs and abs. I need to lose about 15 pounds, at least, by November. Please help!

How to Lose Weight With Bikram Yoga

Recommended Answer:

If you think working out your legs will make your legs slimmer, you're wrong. And, working out is not the best way to lose fat. The key to fat loss is not exercise, it's diet.Any exercise will burn calories but no exercise will burn fat unless your diet allows it. You can burn fat in your sleep or you can run all day and never burn any fat. It all depends on your diet. Fat loss is determined by calorie control, not by exercise. Good exercises for burning calories are speed walking, biking, swimming, dancing, etc. and ANY other physical activity which makes you move a lot of weight for a long time. But NO exercise is good for burning fat if you eat too many calories because you can always eat more calories than you can burn but you can't always burn as many as you take in.Too many people waste energy and time because they do not understand this one simple point. The result is too often giving up in frustration, abandoning gym memberships they continue to pay for, and many other unnecessary problems not the least of which is a lack of success. An average person must walk about five miles every day for a week to burn the calories equivalent to a pound of body fat. So, unless you think walking about five miles a day (or doing an equivalent amount of exercise) with no guarantee of fat loss makes sense, focus your fat loss program on diet.Diet for fat loss. Exercise for fitness. When you are in a fat loss mode and burning body fat, it is your body (based on your genetics) and only your body that determines where that fat loss will happen. You have absolutely no control over where your body loses fat first, last, and in between no matter what you do. It is not possible to lose fat only from a specific part of your body of your choosing. Where your body stores and removes fat is determined by your genetics and there is nothing you can do to change that short of radical procedures such as liposuction. And, in general, where it stores fat first is where it will lose it last and visa versa. The world of health and fitness has an unfortunate abundance of myths and spot reduction is one of them. There is no exercise, no pill, no supplements, no spa treatment, and no natural way to spot reduce. Your only choice is to create a caloric deficit with diet and preferably some exercise, burn fat, and wait for it to leave the desired body parts.Some women may be disappointed to learn that they can't remove their unwanted belly fat without losing a cup size or two. And, some men may be disappointed to find out they can't get a ripped abdomen without cutting into their essential body fat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_reductionhttp://www.exrx.net/WeightTraining/Myths.htmlhttp://www.fitnesstipsforlife.com/the-spot-reduction-myth.htmlTo find out how the best minds in nutrition in the world (at the US NIH) have recommended for decades we lose fat, read my answer about how to lose fat --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=As615QJM4X_3ID9_05qmmlXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111028185603AAVcP4D Good luck and good health!!♠PS: Here are some good websites you may find useful.• BEST SEARCH ENGINE http://www.usa.gov• A MUST FOR DIETERS http://www.freedieting.com/• BEST DIET TOOL ON THE WEB http://www.myfitnesspal.com/• BEST FOODS FOR YOU http://www.choosemyplate.gov/index.html• NUTRITION DOT GOV http://www.nal.usda.gov/food-and-nutrition

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.

Other Answers:

• 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 feel fat, but doesnt look like i am?

Hi im 16, and i weigh 144 lb. everyone i know says im fat and need to lose weight. But at the beach, i look at my body and dont think im this fat. My friends never believe that im 144lb, they say that i dont look this fat at all. My aunt is the one who makes me desperate, everytime she sees me, she says im so fat with a fat belly. But this summer she said i lost weight. My weight is the same, the form of my body changd i guess. When i lay down flat, i think i could see my hips pop out. And if i look down, i could see all my body, from my feet to my boobs. Its like on layer. I just have fat thighs. And now i just look at my belly, and see theres slightly 2 lines, like the V lines. But im not that skinny for them to pop. Do u think im fat or not ?

How to Lose Weight by Eating Flaxseed

Recommended Answer:

You're not fat, maybe you're just tall, but hey i'm 16 too and i weight 111 pounds and for me to weight that when i'm 5'2 this isn't normal for a girl my age or size, for me your just tall and you got curves don't let no one bring you down,because everyone is beautiful in their own way, you sound like you have a nice body keep it like that.

Other Answers:

• Lol who ever said you're fat needs to get glasses. I'm 14, 5'1, and I weigh 140lb. When I tell me friends I'm 140lb, they look at me like I'm insane. Just because you weigh a lot, doesn't necessarily make you look fat. I have very big legs, and overall I'm just a thick person. All my friends say that I don't look fat at all because i have a flat stomach, but I'm definitely not a skinny person. I think the weight comes from muscle. Because I've played a lot of sports, I've gained a lot of muscle all over. But honestly, you don't sound fat at all. You sound like you have a very nice body.

How to Help Your Dachshund Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

Perhaps schedule one run a week with them, outside of your normal training sessions. You may have to go slow, but consider it an activity to do together instead of an exercise session. That way they won't feel brushed off or shunned, but they're also less likely to try to go on your normal runs or jogs. Congratulations on the weight loss, by the way

Other Answers:

• Tell them to let you exercise alone
• wow jerk...
• No I get it tell them you like exercising alone because your able to go further, harder ect....tell them its your therapy and you like to have your alone time exercising I dont think its harsh I like exercising alone too
• Tell them that you really appreciate all the support they are giving you but you would really like to exercise alone. If they seem upset/annoyed, tell them that you will try and make time for them a couple of times a week. You are not being selfish. Keep up the good work & enjoy the loud music :-)

How to Lose Weight Without Exercising

Recommended Answer:

There is no pill that "burns fat". That is a marketing phrase. Period.The principle ingredients in diet pills are caffeine and B vitamins. Even the "caffeine free" blends contain herbs that contain - caffeine!Let's pretend any of these "thermogenic" diet pills really do what they say.The thermic effect of eating, digesting, and other food energy related functions only account for 10% of your total BMR (basal metabolic rate). So if you are fairly active a diet of 2000 calories per day is pretty reasonable for a maintenance diet. That means 200 calories go to thermic burn. Now let's say these wonderful diet pills increase your thermic burn by 50%. That is a huge change in any body function. So we have increased our caloric burn by??.... 100 calories per day! Or less than one pound per month. For anywhere from $40 to $200 a month. You can burn 100 calories a day just drinking 100 oz of ice cold beverages!That is why these bogus and often dangerous pills cannot get FDA approval. They simply cannot prove their outrageous claims with acceptable clinical evidence.Read the container and you will see each and every one of them says somewhere on the label it is a "dietary supplement'. Loopholes in the current laws allow peddlers to promote their products without accepted medical evidence to prove their outrageous claims.All this stuff is putting your liver and kidneys through a lot of unnecessary and potentially dangerous activity.Many spices like chili powder, different peppers, garlic powder, cinnamon and others cause an increase in the thermic affect of food. But come on, you can eat pennies per day of seasonings and get the same benefit as these diet pills.A healthy diet of whole unprocessed foods will give you much greater results.The "free trial" programs on t.v. and online bill you $3.95 for shipping and then before you know it they pop you for another $100 for another 30 or 60 day supply you didn't realize you signed up for. Even if you successfully return the unused product within the narrow window allowed they still make money off the shipping and handling fees.Common side effects of most diet pillsArrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)Heart complicationsJaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes)Kidney problemsUnexplained headaches and dizzinessExcessive fatigue Loss of appetiteRestlessness, anxietyNausea, vomitingSeizures
