WEIGHT Loss?

Weight Loss?
I Had a child on June 28th. I am 5′2 and the day i had him i weighed 195 lbs ( i gained ALOT OF WEIGHT, i started out 130 lbs!) i now weigh 150 lbs. I go to the gym 4x per week i do 30 mins of cardio per day. I only drink water and i eat healthy. Any ideas or supplements people have tried with results. I have 20 more pouds to lose!

i forgot to put that i have a personal trainer. I dont just do cardio i have a reg. workout routine too. Hiowever Ive been stuck in a rut i havent lost any more weight in a month

You seem to be doing good!

The basics to losing weight is really so simple.

Burn up more than you take in.

So, eat healthy; like you’re doing, and drinking a lot of cold water.

Exercise as oftn as you can. Weights are ok, but more cardio.

Don’t eat fried foods. Don’t use butter/margerine…that kind of stuff. Stay away from dressings and the ‘fatty’ stuff.

Your stomach will shrink and you won’t feel as hungry. You have to train it the way you do anything with your body. I think you’re doing great. Keep yopur food portions small, eat a little more frequently maybe, but keep the overall intake low.

Good luck I think you’re well on your way, and I applaud you for your diligence!

:)

How would i go about doing my senior project on weight loss and the adrenal glands?

I’m a high school senior and i would like do my research on the connection between weight loss and the adrenal glands with my product being a weight loss program. How would i go about doing this? Sources would be very helpful.

I would start by researching the adrenal glands and the hormones they make (cortisol and epinephrine eg.) They are involved in the stress response and indirectly in the regulation of body fat. From there I’d look at the connection between exercise and stress as it relates to cortisol levels. Good luck!

Lose Weight Fast, Amazing New Diet Plan – Easy Slimming with No Diet Pills

Lose weight fast by reading 5 star rated Lunch Box Diet by expert personal trainer Simon Lovell.

Kim has lost 5 and a half stone in weight! She lost 1 stone in the first month alone on the Lunch Box Diet! When she started the diet she was size 24 and nearly 17 stone shes now down to 12 ½ stone.

Whilst most women find pregancy is a key point in putting on weight, when Kim Atkinson gave birth to her daughter in 1999, she very quickly slipped back into her size 10/12 jeans, weighing only 9 stone 2lbs. At the time Kim was 18. It was only six months later in 2000 that weight started creeping on and by 2002 when the father of her child proposed, Kim found herself shopping for a size 20 wedding dress, an almost impossible task.

After her wedding, the romantic dream came crashing down around her just six weeks later, as her husband left her and left her in serious debts that he had run up. At that point Kims confidence hit rock bottom and her misery matched her inability to tackle her weight issues, as she wanted to stay hidden away and not be seen and ended up eating for comfort. She tried a number of diet plans, initially some worked, but they all failed on her over time as they were not sustainable and did not fit into her hectic lifestyle.

My friends wanted me to go out with them, and kept asking and willing me, but I felt so awful about myself that I couldnt bear the thought of leaving the house. I was severly depressed, I was left seriously in debt by the money issues my husband had created and felt just awful about myself and my life. Kim said.

Then in 2005 Kim got pneumonia and was very poorly in intensive care. She was in hospital for over 2 weeks and was put on steroids which is when she ballooned to her highest and it was from that point she was really struggled to get the weight off. Kim also suffered from asthma, which made exercise almost impossible, so Kim was really in a bad place.

Then in January 2008, a work colleague (Kim has been working two jobs to help pay off the crippling debts left by her husband) suggested that she try the Lunch Box Diet, which they had just read about in a magazine review.

Given that Kim had tried practically everything else, she got hold of the e-book and gave it a go. Almost immediately Kim saw and felt good results.

Kim said: I had always wanted to lose weight, but other diets just didnt seem realistic. The Lunch Box Diet just made sense I was actually allowed to eat! I felt educated on what I should really be eating and the sauces made even veggies taste great so it was really enjoyable to follow. I felt satifisfied, full of energy and quickly noticed a difference.”

For Kim the Lunch Box Diet has become a way of life she creates one big healthy box and grazes on it 7 days a week. She loves the fact that her colleagues are always intrigued by whats in her box and that shes inspired others to give it a go. She also loves the support that shes received from her eight year old daughter who can now wrap her arms around her mummy and even commented that her bums smaller! (all great motivation for Kim).

Kim is now enjoying getting into more fashionable clothing styles as her size is decreasing, and shes just changed her hair colour too from blonde to reddy, brown to prove that its a myth that blonds have all the fun! Her target is to just under 10 stone and shes on track. As well as her asthma improving dramatically, even her friends are enjoying the newly confident Kim, as she says: My friends think Im much nicermuch less moody and much happier, so its not just the outside thats glowing!.

How many calories should I eat for rapid weight loss?

Im 15, about 5′7, and need to lose weight by tuesday. Im asking someone out and I would like to look my best when I do so.
How many calories should I eat daily to acheive rapid weight loss?
(Im not a girl)

Do calories matter or do you simply need to eat certain foods and that will guarantee you’ll lose weight? Should you count calories or can you just count “portions?” Is it necessary to keep a food diary? Is it unrealistic to count calories for the rest of your life or is that just part of the price you pay for a better body? You’re about to learn the answers to these questions and discover a simple solution for keeping track of your food intake without having to crunch numbers every day or become a fanatic about it.

In many popular diet books, “Calories don’t count” is a frequently repeated theme. Other popular programs, such as Bill Phillip’s "Body For Life," stress the importance of energy intake versus energy output, but recommend that you count “portions” rather than calories…

Phillips wrote,

"There aren’t many people who can keep track of their calorie intake for an extended period of time. As an alternative, I recommend counting ‘portions.’ A portion of food is roughly equal to the size of your clenched fist or the palm of your hand. Each portion of protein or carbohydrate typically contains between 100 and 150 calories. For example, one chicken breast is approximately one portion of protein, and one medium-sized baked potato is approximately one portion of carbohydrate."

Phillips makes a good point that trying to count every single calorie – in the literal sense – can drive you crazy and is probably not realistic as a lifestyle for the long term. It’s one thing to count portions instead of calories – that is at least acknowledging the importance of portion control. However, it’s another altogether to deny that calories matter.

Calories do count! Any diet program that tells you, "calories don’t count" or you can "eat all you want and still lose weight" is a diet you should avoid because you are being lied to. The truth is, that line is a bunch of baloney designed to make a diet sound easier to follow.

Anything that sounds like work – such as counting calories, eating less or exercising, tends to scare away potential customers! The law of calorie balance is an unbreakable law of physics: Energy in versus energy out dictates whether you will gain, lose or maintain your weight. Period.

I believe that it’s very important to develop an understanding of and a respect for portion control and the law of calorie balance. I also believe it’s an important part of nutrition education to learn how many calories are in the foods you eat on a regular basis – including (and perhaps, especially) how many calories are in the foods you eat when you dine at restaurants.

The law of calorie balance says:

To maintain your weight, you must consume the same number of calories you burn. To gain weight, you must consume more calories than you burn. To lose weight, you must consume fewer calories than you burn.

If you only count portions or if you haven’t the slightest idea how many calories you’re eating, it’s a lot more likely that you’ll eat more than you realize. (Or you might take in fewer calories than you should, which triggers your body’s "starvation mode" and causes your metabolism to shut down).

So how do you balance practicality and realistic expectations with a nutrition program that gets results? Here’s a solution that’s a happy medium between strict calorie counting and just guessing:

Create a menu using an EXCEL spreadsheet or your favorite nutrition software. Crunch all the numbers including calories, protein, carbs and fats. Once you have your daily menu, print it, stick it on your refrigerator (and/or in your daily planner) and you now have an eating "goal" for the day, including a caloric target.

Rather than writing down every calorie one by one from every morsel of food you eat for the rest of your life, create a menu plan you can use as a daily goal and guideline. If you’re really ambitious, keeping a nutrition journal at least one time in your life for at least 4-12 weeks is a great idea and an incredible learning experience, but all you really need to get started on the road to a better body is one good menu on paper. If you get bored eating the same thing every day, you can create multiple menus, or just exchange foods using your primary menu as a template.

Using this meal planning method, you really only need to “count calories” once when you create your menus, not every day, ad infinitum. After you’ve got a knack for calories from this initial discipline of menu planning, then you can estimate portions in the future and get a pretty good (and more educated) ballpark figure.

So what’s the bottom line? Is it really necessary to count every calorie to lose weight? No. But it IS necessary to eat fewer calories then you burn. Whether you count calories and eat less than you burn, or you don’t count calories and eat less than you burn, the end result is the same – you lose weight. Which would you rather do: Take a wild guess, or increase your chance for success with some simple menu planning? I think the right choice is obvious.
