Six week body makeover. amp; Other weight loss programs? -

Has anyone tried the Six week body make over (Michael Thurmond)? Does it work, was it easy to stay committed too? What is the average weight loss with it?Does anyone know of any weight loss programs or ANYTHING, that has worked for them.

I know of a program that will help you ..I will copy and paste the article right from my blog but you can also check it out at http://yourhealthdoctor.blogspot.com/200��A lot of us are trying to lose weight, and we want to do it fast! However, a lot of us do not have the time to go to the gym or walk for an hour every day. Here are a few tips that will help you lose weight:1. Count your calories! Make sure you always count how many calories you eat. It s a good idea to have knowledge on how many calories different food items contain. Make sure you read the label on the product you are about to eat.2. Burn those extra calories at the end of the week! If by the end of the week you realize that you have eaten more calories than you should have, then take the time to burn those calories.3. Stay away from fried foods! Fried foods are about the worst thing you can eat if you are trying to lose weight. Fried food contains a lot of fat, so stay away from it, it will only add weight.4. Don t ever skip a meal! When you re trying to lose weight, the worst thing you can do is skip a meal! You should be eating six times a day, that way, you will increase your metabolism, thus, lose weight.5. Eat fresh vegetables! Fresh vegetables contain a lot more nutrients and vitamins than boiled vegetables. Always try to eat your vegetables fresh, because when you cook them, you take away nearly half of all the vitamins and nutrients. Canned vegetables are also processed, thus, they contain less vitamins and nutrients. When you buy your fresh vegetables, always make sure they are pesticide free.6. Make chocolates a luxury item! It s important that you keep chocolate only as a luxury item, and don t eat them solely on routine. Chocolate is not very healthy, because of all the sugar and fat they contain, so don t over indulge in them.7. Say no to alcohol! If you can stay away from alcohol, do it! As we all know beer will give you that special beer belly , and I don t think you want that. Also, when you get drunk it s much harder to control what you eat.Make sure you live by these tips, that way, you will stay healthier and lose weight, without making it a long process, that takes up most of your day.Good luck!

yes it works because it s just a low calorie program

Losing weight...? -

14yrs 155 lbs 5 6 how to lose weight quickly without being like anorexic? i dont LOOK really fat cuz im tall. size 10!! i want to be like a 4 plz help thanks much.

If you don t look fat then why are you worried?Trust me--it s good you re tall. People would kill to be tall.If you really want to lose weight, just run and eat healthy. Try to drop the yummies such as chips and Gloria Jean s coffee.

Try to get more information on dieting, weight loss articles, health and fitness articles, weight loss forum and BMI calculator at my profile and get the advise from them to lose weight fast and healthy.

Size 4 is too small for your height. Quit watching all those diet commercials...they are making you nutty. Women have curves; that s just a fact........The only thing that wants bones are dogs...four legged ones.

Make the sizes or your meals smaller. Eat 3 meals a day, but make the portion sizes smaller so you don t have as much excess energy. Remember, if your energy intake is greater than the output, you ll gain weight. If you exercise more than you eat, you will lose weight, plus get more toned. The weight loss may not seem big at first due to muscle, but it isn t so much the weight, but how you look isn t it?

running

How do i lose weight quickly? -

I m 16 and five feet five inches. and 186 lbs. i hate the way i look. but my boyfriend loves the way i look but doesnt know how much i weigh. i wear size 13 and xl most of the time. im depressed about it. i dont have enough will power to be aneroxic and hate throwing up so i cant do either of those things, but trust me i ve tried. i hate working out. i find it embarrassing to tell my family im going to the gym. i dont like to go outside either. we have a treadmill but i hate running. is there a way to lose weight without doing anything? help! i wanna be skinny again. i hate my self. i cant go to my parents b/c they are the same way. they are fat but they wont do anything about it. i want to but i dont know what to do. please help me.

Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

walk 2 hours a day (either 1 time or 2x )count calories no eating after 8pmno chips no burgers no cake no bread

i understand...your worried about your body . but listen..IF YOUR BF IS OK WITH IT..THEN TRUST HIM.guys dont tell girls they r pretty if they dont mean it..be comfortable with who you are first..or else your going to keep struggling..with your weight. be confident. and i know its hard but you cant keep whining. nothing is going to happen if you whine about how you dont like running..if you dont run then..you arnt going to make any progressim sorry if i sound rudeand you dont have to run actually..you can start off by walking..3 days a week...cutting out a little bit of junk. you dont have to give it up all at once..but just make small changes..and later when your used to walking everyday you ll want to run. its not only about looks..its also about how you feel on the inside and your health. i know its ambarrasing sometimes but if you openn up to friends/family..a few..they might help you..and right now im guessing you could use some support. drink loks of water...it helps alot. try drinking upto 8 glasses of water every day. it flushes the fat out..you can try lemon water..but thats kind of sour..but it helpseverytime you crave junk food just have a fruit..like orange or apple. dont eat after 5 or 6 pm. Make sure you sweat alot when you work outyou can try dancing..its a great workout..if your shy infront of other people you can possibly shut the lights in your room and dance alone their with music. i do that just to get my self active again if i feel a bit chubbyish or whatever. and it workslater when your more used to being active you could go hiking. it makes you sweat like crazyask your boyfriend to join you..because i understand.working out alone can be boring..and if you have your boyfriend along with you it can be fun..and it can be a fun idea to..bond. lol Remember..looks arnt everything. be happy with yourself..dont rush..be patient and let your body lose weight on its own ok?what are your faverite hobbies? do you like sports? if you have never played sports or etc..i suggest you start now. you meet alot of new people and you lose weight in a fun waybut yea right now i guess you can start off by walkingand if you lose motivation what you can do is take a picture of your self..how you look now..take a few actually..tape them around your room..and remember..that you dont want to look like that.tape a picture o nthe fridge aswell so whenever you dig in the fridge to eat junk you will rememberyou might wanna put a picture of a slim girl next to you aswell..so you can have more motivation..how you want to look like when you have lost weightthats the best i can suggest...good luck :)

Is Aderall effective as a weight loss program? I was prescribed Adderall 20mg and I find it ineffective.? -

I really can t tell it suppresses my appetite at all. Have you found anything that does?

I dont think that its a long term solution, but definitely check with your Dr. I also found this blog for a safe way to lose some weightCheck it outhttp://carbdietreviews.blogspot.com/Hope it helps!

is that the little blue pill?

First of all Adderall is a medication for AD/HD it is not for suppressing appetite even though that is a side affect for some people. Protein water is good because it fills you up or look for some foods that are light in calories but big on fiber that will keep you full.

I have been taking 20 mg of Adderall for 5 months and I have about 4 lbs the whole time. I weigh 115 lbs and I am 5 8 so I m just trying to maintain my weight. I would talk to your doctor about effective weight loss programs but honestly-- the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you consume so yes, that means step up the cardiovascular exercise. Try to go on more walks or jogs and be more active overall. If you haven t already, I strongly recommend joining a fitnesse center. Cut all beverages out of your diet except water- SERIOUSLY, it will make a noticeable difference in 10 days. Good luck!

Adderall is for like ADHD.

I am 58 and 120 lbs. should i continue my weight loss program? -

I understand my bmi is average... aside from that... what do you think

NO, not unless you want to look like a toothpick. You might want to switch to a weight MAINTENANCE program at this point.

Weight is NEVER the issue. I just can t get that across to women because they have always been told they are fat or that they need to lose weight.It would be nice to get off the scales and find out what your BODY FAT INDEX is. The best athletes have the lowest body fat index, indicating that they have almost all muscle.That should, in my humble opinion, be your focus, you will feel better about yourself and actually be doing the right thing. I know it is cliche, but join a gym, even for a short time and ask the pros, that is what they will tell you.You are maybe even under weight..Hope this helps,Helper

The website below has a new BMI calculator and will tell you if you are a healthy weight http://bellabody.myflpbiz.comNowadays, people are very concerned about body image, and, as a result there are many diet pills available and most of these are hazardous to your health. Why harm yourself if there are natural alternatives.I started a month long diet and I have found that I have lost 4 pounds in only one week by Life Style 30 Days which has given me tonnes more energy than I had before and also, the vitamins my body needs to stay healthy. However, there is also a much shorter diet called Life Style 9 Days. And with the right attitude, this program can help you lose weight much faster.you can find the programs on the same website http://bellabody.myflpbiz.com

Umm no, you should gain weight hun;I am 5 9 and weigh 125 and everyday I get told by my mom that I need to gain weight by eating several small meals a day and lots of meat blah blah blah.But point is, I think you should gain a couple extra pounds ;)

you ARE and will continue to be under weight if you continue your weight loss program...just eat healthy and exercise and youll be fine!!

i think thats probably fine where your at. You don t wanna look to skinny. A little fat goes a long way, especially if your not muscular. SO if thats the case maybe put on a little more...

you do NOT need to loose weight, i am 5 2 and 125 and i am the perfect size for my height

You ll be underweight if you continue to lose.

You should never have started it. Your weight is below average.

please tell me what is your weight loss pragram, i wanna lose a few pounds.

I think you are perfect at that.

Sounds just about perfect !

OMG your Fat!!!!!

If you want to but don t go lower than 110.

Kids these days...

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you��re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:*1) Burn more calories then you re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/��Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone.

Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight: Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht��Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/w��It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. *2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement. Avoid ��High Glycemic Load Carbs�� (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsou��Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/P��*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities. Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly.

A great free publication is ��Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005��. A superb book to read is ��You The Owner��s Manual��. An excellent periodic publication is the ��Nutrition Action Health Letter��.

I would suggest a cleansing diet. I did this and lost 11 pounds and 16 inches in 9 days. I like the program since it works by giving your body nutrition through protein shakes with digestive enzymes and vitamins and then cleansing out the toxins. We get toxins in our bodies from pesticides, preservatives, water, pollution, medications, food additives etc��. These toxins enter our bodies and get coated with fat. To remove the extra fat, we need to get rid of the toxins through cleansing. The program also has a natural diet pill to help your metabolism and curb cravings. It works and it works fast. I lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks and I feel great. My skin has improved as well from the cleansing. You can get more info at this toll free number 1-877-587-4647. I think cleansing is really important to health and weight loss. Give it a try and good luck!

It must be carried out under professional guidance.A person interested in losing weight should have his/her concerns answered to his/her satisfaction before adopting a weight loss program It is generally believed that most weight loss programs are unable to provide long term weight control and therefore the past record of a particular program must be taken as the main criteria for its adoption.It is advisable to consider only those online weight loss programs that have a track record of proven and guaranteed results. A majority of these online weight loss programs are to be paid for and hence the user must ensure quality before spending money on them.There are a multitude of weight loss programs to choose from.

Clinical programs are carried out in a medical setup like a clinic under the supervision of health experts.A weight maintenance program should follow a structured weight loss program. When a person loses weight, the fat cells are only temporarily compressed. When the person resumes normal routine, these fat cells start expanding again. This would prove to be a wasted effort. Hence, weight management steps should be inculcated in daily life. Weight management is a lifelong process. One of the ways to maintain weight is by increasing the physical activity in an individual��s daily routine.The following are the various weight loss programs available today to a person interested in losing weight - low fat diets, high protein diets, fixed menus, pre-packaged meals and formula diets.

To loose weight correctly, and to keep it off requires a lifestyle change. While this sounds difficult, it is amazingly easy. The most difficulty a person may find, is in maintaining their willpower to succeed. I personally can vouch for the Atkins Diet, as well as the Michael Thurman Diet. I used the Atkins diet to loose weight and maintain the loss, and my boss, as well as a couple of co-workers have used the Micheal Thurman diet to loose weight and keep it off. They both involve understanding your eating habits in order to correct the bad habits we have adapted, and learning that you don t have to starve yourself in order to loose weight. Both diets take the weight of noticebly quick, and the overall feeling of well being is something to celebrate.Do yourself a favor, and research these and other weight loss methods before you attempt them. Decide on the one that you will be able to work with and stick with. In both diets, and probably most diets, the most important thing you can do is drink lots of water. I noticed with the Atkins, that the more water I drank, the quicker the weight came off. When I barely drank any water at all, I was at a plateau. Good luck to you on your journey.
