Espresso to get me going - good or bad? -

im on a weight loss program at the moment, low carb (except for one grapefruit) and about 4-5 cups of espresso, to give me energy. i dont have time to waste im getting married in 4 weeks and i have to lose 3 dress sizes. so on top of this i am doing 3 sets of 30 mins cardio a day..is it ok as its only for a month?

Caffeine is still under debate about its effects on weight loss, all i know is the purpose of caffeine in nature is to kill insects that are trying to eat the plants it comes from (mainly coffee plant and tea bush). So basically, its a pesticide. Nobody is going to tell me it has health benefits. I would replace the espresso with water. If you are exercising, drop the low carb diet - the atkins (low carb) diet is for couch potatoes. If you are exercising your body needs complex carbs for fuel to burn, so you can lose weight. Whole grains, fruit, and vegetables are your friends. Add some resistance training (bands or weights) to your routine to build muscle, the more muscle you have the more calories you burn - even when you are sitting still or sleeping. But yeah, 3 sizes in a month - Ill be crossing my fingers for you - and congradulations by the way!

You d do better to trim down using exercise. If you are doing gym work, concentrate on the equipment that tones your waist, hips and legs, and strength equipment for your upper body. This should end up with you loosing dress sizes and be a more toned shape as well.If you don t have gym membership, try running and situps.Drop the espresso and drink water instead. Eat enough carbohydrates to give you long-term energy.3 dress sizes is a little extreme, and a bit ambitious in 4 weeks, not to mention unhealthy.I m sure you know that you should have started all this at least a year ago.....

i don t know how old you are, which would make a difference.it s not going to kill you, but i m not sure it s going to work either! 3 dress sizes in 4 weeks is hard to attain even if you re Gandhi and you re completely starving. Why did you buy a dress three sizes too small?Maybe if you lose 1-2 sizes you can buy a corset to suck everything else in.But for my money, this is a little bit of a crazy plan. And I say that as someone who has lost a lot of weight in life. Sorry to be a naysayer, but I think you know this is extreme.

I need to lose weight ? -

I m 5 9 165 lbs. That IS in healthy range, but it s at the top of the healthy range. I want to get healthier. I m getting married in October and I want to look my best, but that isn t the only reason I want to lose weight. I want to generally be healthier. WE both need to lose weight.We don t have money to join a gym or join any kind of weight loss program.Any easy cheap suggestions to lose weight would be great!We both want to get healthier!

Invest in a bike and you and your hubby-to-be can ride together, at least 30 minutes a day. Cut the JUNK!!!... Most of all, excuses are made by those who don t want to push themselves. Talk to a nutritionist and/or fitness instructor on some easy exercise routines. i say you use what you have at home like do 3 sets of 10-12 reps curling a gallon of water, be creative. Daily chores around the house is a great calorie burner like vacuuming, washing the car, gardening, It all takes time and patience...

Besides finding other exercises that you are interested in doing, the other thing you can do is change the way you eat.Some ideas:1) Use smaller plates. (Get seconds if you want, but having the initial small plate may signal to your brain that you are fuller!)2) Portion control (don t let your stomach decide when you are full.3) Eat for fibrous food (like green veggies) or use a fiber supplement.Also with exercise -- try walking to do some of your chores instead of your car and also if you have a bike that should be easier on your ankles.If you live in a warm area, try to get outside and not veg :-)GOOD LUCK!!!

Make some dumbbells out of water bottles and use sandbags to exercise with.

Put on some sneakers and go for a jog.Sit ups.Yoga.Celery.

walk and run around the block drink water not soda

Weight loss tips that actually work? -

im 14, about 5ft. 1in.- 2in. and about 125-130.so basicly short and chubby. i was just looking for some tips or exersises that would help me slim down but keep my curvstips other than the drink a lot of water, and cutt down on your food take in. well im italian and cutting down on the food isnt as easy as it seems although i have been getting better with it.so any advise will do...thank you!

Excercise swimming running though I cannot stand running LOLI love Italian food so I know what u r talking aboutthough pasta Is good for utry a rowing machine go to the gymbuy one of those fitness things that take the effort out of sit upsI got one and It does the trick though the pain goes with timenot long thoughno pain no gain as they saygood luck hope I helped u

At your age, the absolute best thing you can do is DANCE! Honey dance your little heart out. Dance till you sweat. Dance and laugh and sing as if no one is watching you get creative with it. Another thing to do is just really love who you are. Be in love with life everyday. Don t let anyone tell you, that your are anthing but abolutely FABULOUS! because each and every one of us is absolutely fabulous. That frame of mind is positively infectious and you will have more friends than you can dance with. don t think about your weight. Just use common sense when you eat. And love every single minute of your life.

Pastas and breads are extremely high in calories, but if cutting it out of your diet is impossible, try switching to whole grain. It is less calories, but still tastes great. Also, skip any alfredo or other sauces made with heavy cream. Red sauces are less fattening. Also, just walking for 15 minutes every day at a moderate pace (not as slow as walking, but not as fast as running) will give you noticeable improvements. But you can t just do it for a week and give up. Try doing that every day for at least one month, and see how you look and feel.

Start by incooperating more exercise into your day to day activites. Start with walking more and then increase to running as you feel more in shape. Sit ups and pushups to tone your stomach. You can always run up and down the stairs for a good workout.

If you can t cut down on your food intake than your only other option is to exercise more. The truth is that you can only lose weight 1 way: burn more calories than you take in. There s 2 sides to this equation: burning calories and taking them in. You can either lower your intake or increase the amout you burn.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com

There is a simple diet that Dr. Gott, a real physician, who has a column in my local newspaper has put forth. He says if you cut out all flour and sugar from your diet you will lose weight. That means anything made with sugar or flour is not on the diet. If you want to know more about this diet, go to GOOGLE and type in Dr. Gott. I m sure you ll find it among the columns listed. Good luck.

How do I stay committed? -

How can I stay committed to a weight loss program when entering senior schooling years? I would really like to lose around 10kg and tone up before summer (about 2 months I have) but assignments are piling up and exams are starting soon, so do you have any tips on how to stay committed to a weight loss program?

Break your weight loss up into smaller goals, so rather than saying i want to lose 10kg in 2 months break it up into 2 week periods and set smaller goals. This way you will achieve the smaller goals and you will still have the 10kg to aim for.

Write your goals down - it transforms how committed you are to sticking to them. Also tell people whose opinions matter to you what you plan to do. It s amazing how much more you can stick to something when you ll be letting others down too.

Does herbal life products work ? -

i am thinking of joining but i am scared to waste my money but i know that i need help to lose weight my goal is to lose 150 pounds so i need to know is this a good weight loss program or am i wasting my time and is there anyone out there that got off the program and kept the weight off or did u gain it back triple the amount like i heard

I was really curious about this because I had heard the name and wanted to know more,most of the links that I found were positive in their nature,one of the negatives that came up was only over price from a man and wife that both used the product. Here is a link to a website that sells them AND offers a money back guarantee,you just have to send back the unused portion and they ll subtract the shipping cost.The 2nd link that took me back to Yahoo Answers about the product that had a top answer of the man and wife above who had used the product.Good luck,and remember the one link talks about making sure you drink plenty of water while using the product.

My field is in fashion, as a result many people ask me how they can slim down. My answer is always the same: good diet and exercise. But I found this great product (all natural) which I think helps a lot in the process (it s really good for detox, you ll feel much healthier). I recommend you check this website http://weigh-less-feel-great.us , they have a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. Good luck!

I want to loose 15-20 pounds by April. Help!? -

I would like to know what is the best way to do that without starving myself or puking after every meal. I also don t want a strict diet are there any healthy weight loss pills for losing that amount of weight for a 20 year old? thanks!

That gives you about...7 weeks. To get to the minimum of your weight loss goal you would need to loose 2lbs per week at the least.That should be possible in a healthy fashion.-Work out daily. Cardio and weight training are important.-Stay positive. The more you degrade yourself, the harder it will feel.-Drink that H2O!-Allow yourself treats off and on. If you do not, you risk feel deprived which will end up in a binge.-Seek daily support.

Sweetheart with you being so young,I think if you put yourself to be able to walk atleast 30 to 45 minutes a day you should be able to lose that,just remember lots of water if you want you can also do the remedy 1 hot glass of water with a half of lemon before you go to bed and when u get up in the morning that gets your metabolism to burning the fat quickly,promise it works thats what i do.....Remember to sip the water slowly the hotter the better......GOOD LUCK.....:
