Im such a failure at dieting? -

I joined this fancy weight loss program and it did work for me i lost nine pounds the first week which was amazing. then the pills they were giving me gave me really dry mouth and i started freaking out because we werent allowed to eat bread the first week. than the second week came and i had the worst stomach pains in the world and threw up constantly what sucks the most its the excuse for me to eat something becasue i havent been eating any carbs for two weeks i feel like i gain weight again and now i have to go weigh in for another meeting do you think i should continue this program and just give up on dieting alone. ???

I think the minute the diet eliminated a category of food and required you to take any kind of pills you should have dropped out of it. I do not suggest you give up on dieting, but I do suggest you give up on using programs and diets like this one. A sensible well balanced weight loss diet does not forbid any type of food, nor does it prescribe specific types for extended periods of time. It also doesn t require pills or potions. A decent weight reduction diet should be easily tailored to your particular food preferences, and use items you can buy in a regular supermarket. The only thing it might recommend adding is a multivitamin/mineral supplement, and that should also be one you can buy at the local grocery. You have fallen into the usual diet trap, and it s not entirely your fault- so I wouldn t kick myself too hard. A much more sensible solution would be to pick a better system. I recommend Weight Watchers. They have been around for absolutely decades, and the program works. It s not fast, but it is healthy and sensible. It doesn t require weird diet combos or foods, and you get to design the diet that works best for you. Sign off this current program, and check out Weight Watchers.

I would try something else if it is making you sick that is not healthy for your body, if you want to try something and you can eat whatever you want and they don t make your mouth dry or anything like that its called Max WLX, its great and you can lose 21.5 lbs in 8 weeks and its 90% more effective than any diet or exercise, and still eat the foods you love, and without counting calories.

I was struggling with the same issue for the longesttime. I just couldn��t get to the weight where I would be happy.Then a friend recommend something that truly worked, unlike the other stuff I��ve tried. You should definitely check it out, there��s some great free info on this site and the eBook itself is pretty good... http://www.xtremefatburn.com/aff2061

Your diet is making you sick, that is not a failure that is a bad diet. Quit, and just eat balanced meals and exercise.

so your telling me your a failure at life?

hmm i have an idea::in the morning if you can wake up pretty early, thats when you have the most energy! drink a bottle of water plug in your ipod or whatever and listen to music as you run! -- thats my first step.Then you go home, eat a really healthy breakfast like fruit salad or something thats nutritonal. After that you pretty much clean the house or whatever maybe take a walk while its cool, walk your pet dog, if you have one, i like to spend the morning doing that while its not so hot outside!After that you wait a few hours being active as can be, then you relax a little and do some sit ups and lift weights to your own schedule... and your own statistics like weight height goals.. or whatever.. thats what i usually do! And then i like to stretch at the beginning of the day.. hahaMORE TIPS: chew gum - sugar free. It makes you not snack because if you chew it, you dont want to snack because then you will have to spit out your gum! works for me.. thats my trick tip - now read the losing weight 411EXTRA: breathing for an hour burns 60 calories, so thats a little lift off your chest hahaand sleeping is the same rate :)excersise at least 60 minutes a day if you can :)-------hey, you know what? The most unexpensive weight loss thing to do, is to try to burn more calories than you eat, dont eat unhealthy like a 500 calorie diet! All that will do is make you sick, you NEED to be healthy to lose weight properly. Im trying to lose weight too! So basically here are some tips to speed up your metabolism: Drink 1-3 glasses of green tea a dayTry and eat Chilli peppers somehow, ((chilli DUH )) they help. 8 classes of water a daythe more active you are, the faster your metabolism will grow to be. did you know that breathing for an hour burns 60 calories all on its own? And SLEEP is very important, try to go to sleep on time and get your ages average amount of sleep,. ask your doctor what a healthy weight for you is, and then after you have reached that goal do sit ups and crutches - among many other core excersises, Run to slim out, and make sure you burn more calories than you eat - had to repeat that!Fruits and veggies are REALLY low in calories and FULL of nutrition. If you like Tacos? Ditch the hard shell, maybe try a taco salad.. without the shell of course! Lettuce with meat is good, but PLEASE try mixing it with turkey and beef so that it isnt all fat. Chicken salad is good, you want the protein but you dont want fried anything really, once in a while if fine but remember - YOU HAVE TO BURN OFF THOSE EXTRA CALORIES. Excersises excersise excersise. Dont over do it - dont starve yourself, be moderate and stay active. GOOGLE: 100 ways to burn 100 calories, their are some pretty cool things you can do! Stay away from starchy and high carb foods - mostly white things. Bread is a bad, so try to stick to thin, HIGH in fiber, slices :) you can google all the stuff and before you know it you will feel so good about it all and IM actually excited to start working out and all that, just because I know what it will do for me!but if you must go with a diet, try Weight Watchers, its the only one I actually recommend. :)

Are any of the weight loss products advertised on TV really effective? -

Not really. The viewer has to be ever cautious of the word virtually . I find it insulting that such commercials are peppered heavily during daytime TV talk show hours because TV execs carry this demographic belief the tuned in audience consists of a bunch of mindless morons who are gullible to fall for such commercial scams.

well the sauna belt really works .. im using it n works but not as they show in TV that u ll loose 2 in 50 mins .. but it really makes u sweat n few days u ll feel lighter .. but u have to take care of ur diet too ..

well, that depends on your defenition of effective . yes i m sure that a few of them will shed the pounds and a few are scams, BUT the real thing here is what is it doing to your body? no magic pill will solve your weight problem the only thing that will ever do it is a perminent diet change and exercise rutine - there is no other way. the diet industry is so succesfull because of that fact. think about it, if the diet pills and diets actually worked there would t be that many fat people because the pills and diets would keep them slim. but the fact is they don t. if your serious about losing weight here are three simple but highly effective tips1: eat based on colors, get all sweets and processed food out of your diet. no sweat cereal in th morning, no candy bars, no coffee, no surgar drinks like soda or fruit juice you eat fruits, vegitable and meats and breads in good FILLING quatities and you try to eat as many different colors of food as you can. the colors of the food should be as vibrant as possible (all though whole grain oatmeal and breads arn t exactly vibrant but they have their own rich colors). you drink water and milk and caffien free tea. now you will likely have surgur cravings for a few weeks but trust me these do go away, i had the same thing when i started a few months ago.2: exercise, but exercise differently from what you have probably been taught, long walks are good to start, and jump rope is great as well if can do it. sprints up hill (or what ever close aproximation you can manage, don t hurt yourself take your time and find your pace) will take poounds off fast. for your arms you need look no further than the pushups and pullups in their most simple forms. these will knock fat opff you like a jack hammer. DON T even think of doing long distance running, your litterally running yourself into the ground (6 feet under)3: your attitude will controll your results. wierd as it may sound if you don t believe what i said to be true it won t work for you for, or it may work a little bit and then bounce back. but if you believe you can lose weight and its not rocket science than you will succede and every one will be asking you how you did it

No. Every day, every month, every year there s a new found weight loss program that most registered dietitians would suggest you stay away from. They last for days, months and sometimes years.... but they all are shown to fail and be a waste of money... and sometimes a danger to your health (all of them).Watch your calorie intake.Watch your saturated fat intake.Watch your carbohydrate intake.Watch your sodium intake.Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and whole grains.Add common sense , exercise and stay away from fast food you ll probably do fine!

Not for me. I have tried slim fast, the green tea diet, ultra slim, atkins etc... Only thing that helps is if I quit drinking cokes and drink water only and cut back on bread, pasta, and sweets. Oh and EXERCISE!!!

Have you ever noticed that ALL of those advertisements say, when used with healthy eating habits , or some such? Makes you wonder.

Don t believe everything what u see on T.V. all the products are not what they appear to be

No the only good diet that i know of is eating less and exercising but some are becuase they flush out toxins in your body and some can make you very sick and have to go to the bathroom alot

NOthe best way seriously is simply a healthy diet and some exercise. Becareful with exercise most people think it is running a lot, but if your trying to lose weight you want your heart rate to stay in fat burn mode which on average is 180 - your age, e.g. if your 30 then your heart rate should not go above 150. a fast walk would do this.

try this. This will help slim down but its not one of those loose 50 pounds in 2 week things. But it will help.http://www.mym2c.com/stack.php?clandisany questions email me at cblandis88@yahoo.com

Help Losing Weight? -

I m looking for a healthy weight loss program or diet ! Dose anyone have suggestions ? Thank you

I was looking for a good weight loss program myself, went to a gym and they were selling an award-winning weight loss book. You can preview it here: 15minutefatloss.comFirst thing you wanna do for fat loss is get educated, write down your goals and follow through with them. I recommend jogging in the morning before breakfast for about 20 minutes, this burns fat already stored in the body! Follow that up with breakfast. Eat every 2-3 hours and eat healthy foods such as: whole grains, oatmeal, eggs, cottage cheese, natural peanut butter, green veggies, whey protein, tuna, lean meats like chicken. It s good to cycle your diet as well, you need to surprise your body after a while or else your body will stop benefitting from training and your current diet. I hope this helps.Good luck!

The south beach diet is a good way to realign your eating habits...and it wouldn t be so popular if there weren t results. Worked for me.

Diets don t work people! Cut out the crap food, such as candy, fast food, sugar, etc. Every now and than is okay, but not constant; as long as 70 percent of the food you put in your body is healthy and nutritious, than you can get away with the other 30 percent. Also, cut down on your carbohydrates a lot, this helps to lose pure body fat. Good luck. But remember, if you cut out the foods you desire completely, you may relapse. I m not kidding, so remember, every now and than is fine.

DRINK LOTS OF MILK N WATER..

http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/magazine/int��to maintain your current weight you should eat 2000kcals per day. so to lose weight you need to restrict this to 1500kcals. but make sure you eat no less than 1500kcals as this will slow your metabolism you won t lose anything. if you are restricting your diet it s also a good idea to take a multivitamin to ensure you are getting all your vital nutrients.if you cut your cals back to 1500 per day do exercise 2-3 times per week you will lose 1-3lbs per week easily.other tips are just sensible things, like drink a lot of water, swap butter for margarine, sugar for sweetner. try to eat wholegrain cereals bread pastas as these fill you up longer. try to get your 5 portions of fruit veg per day. drink fruit smoothies.i would recommend trying a class called body pump - this uses weights to tone you up burn lots of calories (www.lesmills.com) - give your local gym a call to see if they run it. i did this class twice a week could see big difference fast!!

I lost 40 pounds in one quarter doing this! All you need to do is three things:1. Exersize (It doesn t have to be much. Just get a little sweat flowing)2. Eat ADEQUATE (eat nothing other than your main meals and don t stuff yourself in your main meals)3. Drink Water (If you re hungry and ate adequatly, water helps)Once you get a sporty feeling in your body and not hot and lazy, you know that you are on a good track to lose some weight!

I have found that the best way to lose weight is to eat the recommended number of servings from the food group pyramid, drink lots of water, no soda except for diet, and to exercise. It s not super-fast, but you will lose weight and keep it off. Good Luck!

Go to dailyplate.com You don t have to upgrade to pay just stay with the basic registration. Set your goal of losing weight, enter what foods you eat per day and you will know how many calories per day you are having and how many you should actually have in order to lose 1 or 2 pounds a week, whatever you set your goal to. Working out helps too I am sure, but first step is changing the way you eat and learning the food calories, what s good and bad.GOOD LUCK!!Also try and drink at least one or two glasses of water before you plan to eat. Water will give you the feeling of full therefore it might help you eat less. Drink water after as well to feel really full.

Drinks lots of waterAnd I use slendering I lost 19 Pounds so far since January 1stYou can buy it at www.myslendering.com
