Minor weight loss help? -

I m not really fat or chubby. I just really want to be able to see more of my abs. I can also see them quite well, but there is still a bit of fat there that I could do without. How can I get rid of it? Most weight loss programs are for overweight people; I am not. What is an effective way to lose that little bit of excess fat?

just replace bad foods with veggies and fruit and eat plenty of them, this means that you will only loose small amounts of weight and your skin and over all health will really improve from it. also, do light excercise like sit ups and crunches to imporve the muscles and tone the abs. another way to tone the body and make it firm, replace fat with smooth skin and muscle ithout losing lots of weight is power walking, it sounds like nothing much but with the swaying of the hips you re really toning all the time. and becasue its nothing cardiovascular you arent going to drop 10 lbs. good luck!

If I ate nothing but Miso Soup......? -

for 2 weeks straight, 3 times a day would I lose 12lbs? I have a bet to win $10,000 if I can lose 25lbs and I ve already lost 14lbs the healthy way since June 1st, but now its crunch time... my weigh in is September 8th, and I can t lose.... it s TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS I m talking about.... So I know this wouldn t be healthy.... but its only 2 weeks and I m not worried about keeping the weight off because this is strictly for the money....So please, I know this isn t a healthy weight loss method at all so I don t need to be told that.... I just want to know in an unhealthy kinda way...... could I lose 12lbs if I only ate Miso Soup for 2 weeks?Thanks!

In an inexpensive way, rather than buying supplements; stick with that Miso Soup for 2 weeks even it is unhealthy and drink LOTS of water and for nutrients, drink vegetable juice, because you don t want to feel sluggish as if your body feels like it s shutting down. Ten thousand dollars is a lot of money and if you re determined enough, do it. Eat that soup for 2 weeks straight, drink lots of fluids and exercise your butt off. Do Aerobics, that is proven to shed pounds. Well, Good luck and I hope you win!!

No, Miso soup is full of sodium which will make you retain water weight and it will possibly give you higher blood pressure. It s an extremely horrible idea to eat only one food for weeks. There is a reason we have fruits, vegetables and meat on this Earth, so you can live healthy by eating healthy. Eating only one food for weeks will possibly give you malnutrition. I know, it s only 14 days but as women we are at high risk for malnutrition because our bodies are so demanding. If you re looking for a diet, look for a trusted program.

Enjoy your heart attack.No, my body is worth more than that. Besides, miso soup is loaded with salt. You ll GAIN weight from this diet of yours, all while not getting enough nutrients from other foods to maintain a healthy body.If you re serious about losing weight with this diet, replace one or two meals with miso soup. Don t eat nothing but miso.

Try the cabbage soup diet, its like a quick fix. My mom lost around 110 to 15 pounds in one week! No lie!

Hmm, let me go up to my kitchen pantry to look at my miso cup stuff.....ok i made a cup... and it was absolutely disgusting. because it had been in there for about 4 years and the seaweed has just disintegrated. And I dont think I liked it when it was fresh either... anyways -- the package says that miso boasts a well rounded taste and balanced nutritional profile. it may be used in place of meat or poultry as the foundation for soups and stews. Then I looked at nutrition facts and it does have quite a bit of protein in it, but also tons of salt. So, you could live off of it if you wanted to.I think if you dont mind eating it or like to eat it, then go for it. win that 10 k.

How much weight per week should I lose? Please help!!!? -

I have decided to lose some weight and get healthier. I have not drank anything but water (about 70oz daily) for 1 week. I am eating approx. 1200 calories a day and about 10 grams of fat a day. I am walking 2-3miles every morning. Anyone have any idea how much I should lose a week? (I am a 29 yr old female.) Anyone recently been on a weight loss program and have any ideas? Thanks!

It will all depend on how much energy you are burning up in relation to the calories you intake. In general, if you are young, healthy, sticking closely to the walking and diet you describe, you should lose 1-3 pounds a week. The most you can reasonably lose under a healthy diet is 3-4 pounds a week. Of course, these are estimates and any weight loss won t be the same every week. You ll have times when you lose weight and other times when you plateau.If you want to lose a little more, don t cut down on the calories. You are pretty much as low as you want to go and stay healthy. Try stepping up your exercise. As a 29 year old, you can start to run a little bit with your walking. Try to do 20 or 30 steps running then 20-30 steps walking off and on for as long as you can. The next day tyr to do it a little longer. Challenge yourself to do a little more each day. Soon you ll be jogging along and that 2-3 miles walking will turn into 3-5 miles running for the same time period.Good luck and stay healthy!

2-3 lbs per week

Can stress cause appetie loss/weight loss? -

A lot of stressful things happened to me last Tuesday, since then food hasn t sounded so good. I try to eat and only end up throwing up or having diarrhea... I ve lost 12 lbs in 7 days now. And I don t know what is really a healthy weight loss but I m sure 12 lbs isn t. Is there any way the stress is causing this? Is there a bug that could make me sick for that long?

stress can DEFINITELY cause appetite/weight loss and the stress hormone, CORTISOL, causes a slew of things in your stomach and bowels so when you try to eat, nausea, vomiting diarrhea can surely occur. you re right, 12 lbs. in 7 days is not healthy... and as far as any bug that can give you the same symptoms for that amount of time, there are many. but it would depend on the characteristics (how often, bloody vs. watery) of your vomitus and diarrhea. you should be wary of metabolic imbalances and dehydration in the setting of your symptoms.

Stress can cause you to lose weight as you get to where you just can t eat sometimes. I would say if you have lost 12 lbs. in 7 days you had better get to your Dr. quick and see what s wrong with you. I think the flu is going around in some parts of the country. Maybe you have that but go to the Dr.

Stress can cause this but you need to see a Dr to find out if anything else could be wrong. 12 pounds in 7 days is a lot of weight to lose.

No bug, just extreme stress and anxiety. The brain acts in mysterious ways and one of them is the affect on eating caused by stress, hardship, mental pain, loss of a loved one etc.

yea stress can cause more problems than you might think

It is possible for stress to cause you to feel sick. I would go to the doctor and find out what could be wrong. It does seem odd that a bug would make you sick this long and it very well could be stress. I d see a doctor for help, it s definitely not healthy for you to lose that much weight. Good luck. : )

it might be stress but you should see a Dr to make sure good luck

What are some good weight- loss tips? -

I m trying to lose 15 lbs. by June. I just want some weight-loss tips and anything to help me lose weight. I m currently 135 lbs. but I want to be 120 lbs. Please help..

f you are looking for natural methods of weight loss then follow these tipsEat proper and healthy break fastAvoid junk foodDrink lots of waterAvoid oily and fried itemsNever eat a heavy dinnerread more about this tips following link http://hubpages.com/hub/Five-Tips-for-Na��

The simplest way to look at weight loss is simply this:First, you need to be smart about the food you eat. As you ve probably realized, there s no miracle diet out there. Always make sure your fridge is stocked with fresh vegetables you enjoy. This will make it easier to pick a healthy snack when you get hungry. Make sure to include vegetables in each meal. Lean chicken/turkey is also important if you don t plan on going on a strictly vegan diet.Secondly, you need to get moving! In order to lose body fat, it s essential that everyday you burn more calories than you gain. It s also important to add a variety of exercises to your routine. If you walk everyday, you re already burning a lot of calories, but it would help if you added an intense workout in the mix, such as sit-ups. If you re already working out intensely, maybe you need to make sure you do some calmer exercises in order to balance it out.To keep your motivation levels up, make sure to reward yourself for accomplishing daily goals. Find tasty and healthy recipes, find a fun active hobby, or maybe get a dog you can walk everyday.When you get a routine that works, and stick with it, you ll soon start noticing changes in your metabolism and shape.

Yes, you can. However; weight loss is one of those things that sounds easier than it really is. After all, if you just eat less calories than you burn, you ll lose fat, right? Not necessarily. You could be burning muscle, which will turn you into a weak blob of quivering fat if you stay on that diet long enough. And even if you do burn fat, does that mean you have to be hungry all the time? There is a TON of disinformation out there. One person says to follow a low carb diet, another says to follow a low fat diet, and someone else says low calorie is definitely the way to go. Find out more @ http://budurl.com/weightlosspro

The best thing that helped me was just cut calories each day and stick to one serving a food at meals, that is were people screw up, they are eating way to much food during the day. Drink lots of water and when you get the munchies eat fruit or veggies, it is hard at first but after awhile junk food just doesn t taste good. Good luck Oh yea, and walk, walking is real good, I actually lost more weight walking than I did when I was running.

Nowadays, 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 following website: http://bellabody.myflpbiz.com

Do cardio exercise at least 3 times a week. Eat fruit, veg, wholemeal and lean meat (chicken, turkey etc). Eat 4 - 6 small meals a day, to keep your metabolism fired up. Don t eat any wheat based products or processed foods. Don t eat within 3 hours of going to bed, as you re digestive tract slows down during sleep, so excess calories will turn into fat. Drink 8 glasses of water daily. And finally, don t give up, do it properly.

What weight loss products work best? -

i am trying to lose some weight and i have found and exercise program that works but i want to know if there are any other produvts that work?? i do hip hop abs and have seen some(3 Lbs) difference in a week but would like to try some thing else and see what else works!! any suggestions welcomed THANKS !!!!

I think the guide below will help you for the long term. Goodluck and take care of yourself!

I have discovered the Apple Patch diet (not really a diet, just an herbal patch) and it has worked well for me. I am not hungry in between meals and I fill up faster when eating and I have more energy than I did before. Check out the website. http://applepatchdiet.com/d.cgi/lb40898/��

the best thing is a combination of diet (everything that is consumed) and exercise. incorporating a healthy diet/eating plan with lots of fresh fruit, veggies, nuts, legumes, whole grains, lean protein. keep the salt, sugar, soda, fat and white starches and processed/packaged foods consumption to a minimum. eat regularly throughout the day, eating reasonable to small portions (mini-meals or snacks) every 3-4 hours. that paired with a regular exercise regimen is a good start. don t forget to keep hydrated and drink lots of water. if you enjoy the exercise program that you are currently using and still see results, then keep at it. to avoid boredom, you can alternate different workout dvds or incorporate other physically challenging activities such as weight training, using cardio machines or get out and walk/jog, take the stairs, go swimming, etc.

Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week and you can easily do this without the help of any diet pills. These pills may get more than 2 pounds off per week but it is unhealthy and probably not long lasting. As soon as you stop the pill the weight will come back and you will gain more weight than you lost putting you in a worse position. Instead of trying to lose weight quickly try to do it over a period of time. It is healthier and more likely to stay off for good.Beginners Guide to Dieting - http://straighthealth.com/pages/guides/b��

Does anyone know of any real weight-loss products that work? -

They all work extremely well for the manufacturer/vendor and not for the consumer.Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span. No food or drink in between the food and not more than three meals a day, unless u r diabetic.

NO sorry

Hi There are a lot of different weight loss products that are advertised but honestly i have been a Yo Yo dieter all my life and have spent a fortune on weight loss products and they havnt worked the best thing you can do is change your eating habbits and dont think of it as a diet and dont expect to lose your weight over night, change white bread for wholemeal bread stay away from pastry products i was given the total well being diet book for a present and it was great i learnt what was best for me within 2 weeks i had high fibre breakfast cereal or toast for breakfast , ham and salad sandwich for lunch or the flavoured tins of tuna and for tea i had meat and vegetables but i left out potatoes and pasta in the evening meal it kept me full and i was happy and didnt feel as though i was on a diet
