MARIJUANA AND WEIGHT LOSS? -

i smoke weed, very often, at least everyday. iv cut it back to only at night, so im not going to work stoned anymore, to keep up my production. i am also on a weight loss program (my own made up program(: ) im doing person al exercises every night, and because im young (19) just that small amount of exercise shows a difference everyday... i know weed makes me lazy and hungry, but iv kind of made an ultimatum for myself, i ll only smoke weed AFTER i do my exercises.... i don t know wehe im going with this, but my general question is how can i continue to smoke weed and still lose weight, or live a healthy lifestyle.....

from a one weed smoker to another, I ll have to say keep up the work-out routine and try to cut the weed to every other night if you can. pot sustains fat cells, so the les you smoke the more fat cells you can burn. yes pot does make you lazy and the munchies suck when you are trying to lose weight or tone up. so le less weed you smoke the better. good luck

weed doesnt make u gain weight if ur only smoking it once a day. jus stay away from food while getting high or store healthy food.but other than that weed is gre8 the other day i was reading about a research on weed and how it helped rats regenerate new brain cells.so yes u ll b fat but u ll b smart Report Abuse

Smoking is not conducive to a healthy lifestyle nor are drugs, but if you insist, I d suggest you ingest it rather than smoke it. At least this way you won t be coating your lungs with tar.You are at a pivotal point in your life: either you can grow out of it or make it a permanent part of your lifestyle. I would highly suggest you look at people with this lifestyle that are in their late 30s decide if that is really where you want your life to go. There are other options.Best of luck in your decisions.

You can do anything you put your mind to. Marijuana isn t addicting so don t fool yourself into thinking that you can t exercise and then smoke. Also, you can make better munchies food for yourself so when you crave pizza or jalepeno poppers, try a baked potato, garlic cauliflower, or a bowl of pasta. Good luck:)

I smoke too but never really have a problem with munchies and what not. I like to grub on my own, without the herbs. Anyways, I am trying to lose weight and noticed that sometimes after smoking I workout and can keep going even if I am tired. I think it s mainly because I m distracted and kinda forget what I m doing. So what I m trying to say is.. maybe you should drop the ho ho and pick up a dumb bell next time you fire it up.

Don t smoke it. If you need it, then cook it in something. Otherwise you re ruining your lungs and therefore your cardio. You ll fatigue faster and therefore be able to do less exercise. That s all the advice I have for you, other than that just follow a regular workout plan.

ummmm you can t. A lifestyle that is health and fitness oriented cannot include those kind of substances. Many trainers and fitness professionals also stress the importance of no alcohol (once in a while is ok - alcohol is also legal)

after you smoke it ur lazy so your just sitting there and your muscles are repairing faster. but you still need to drink protein if you wanna be ripped.

Are there any safe weight loss products I can take? I cannot tolerate caffeine or stimulants.? -

Just one cup of tea makes my heart act up. I am afraid of most weight loss products, since they contain stimulants. Is there anything that works that will not give me tachycardia or make me very weak?

Wow. Have you ever heard of products called Isagenix. My mom is 55 years old and she has released over 40 pounds (in 9 weeks) and gone from a size 14 to an 8 with these products. She looks and feels so good. They really work and are so good for you. And they have no caffeine or stimulants in them. I am drinking the shakes for the whey protein as I am 5 months pregnant and they taste so good. What is they could help you like they have helped her. Good luck.

If you already know that any stimulants cause your heart to act up, then the answer to this is NO NO NO!Most weight loss products speed you up which boosts your metabolism, gives you energy and suppresses your appetite. They re not healthy to anyone, including people who don t see instant negative signs like you do. Your best bet is to follow healthy weight loss guidelines as far as food and exercise.As someone who is overweight, I KNOW the temptation to want something to make it easier or help it come off faster, but unfortunately there s nothing but discipline and hard work. You can do it, and good for you for knowing your limits as far as what you can take. A lot of people know it s unhealthy but take these diet pills anyway with tragic results.

take a look at www.zylenebody.comZylene all natural and no ephedra. I take it and lost about 18 pounds. no jitters feels great!

YOu don t need diet pills to lose weight. All you need to do is watch how much you eat and exercise. Something you might look into is try weight wathers. It really help my dad he went from 400 lbs to 300. It did take a year, but he still losing weight. They go off of points for food and all that...they have online weight watchers. So hopefully that s an idea for you.

Most diet pills will not be safe for you if you can t tolerate caffeine. Carbohydrate blockers might help reduce calorie absorption. Alli can reduce fat absorption, but I don t recommend that because of the body s need for fat and fat-soluble substances. Chromium supplement might help regulate blood sugar levels. But given your sensitivities, I would recommend just a good, moderately low calorie diet and exercise.

Lets put it straight. Losing weight is not that hard, You will never hear me say that it is. All it takes is dedication, motivation and hard work !--There are some fairly simple changes that will greatly improve your chances of weight loss success. Check this out to loss weight,http://weightlosspro.awardspace.com/The best, most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is to simply eat right and exercise. Good diet, minimize saturated fat, use monounsaturated fat-- Always check in gradients of everything you are buyingRelaxation, stress and strain never allow people to be slim.

Eat less than 2,000 calories, or do alot of exercises so that at the end you have less 2,000 calories after exercise.

First you have to be active. that goes from walking to running 15miles a day. Start off jogging every other night and walking in between, and you have to be on a good diet if you want to lose any serious weight. Try to stay on some easy and good foods like eggs, turkey sandwiches, almonds, protein shakes and fruits. Try not to eat anything four to five hours before your bed time if you are hungry try to down a protein shake. I think that is the most important part about dieting is not to eat any food before bed time. and also drinks a lot of ice water you want to drink around 125oz a day. Those are some of the easy tips for dieting, hope I gave you some useful tips and good luck with your diet.

What is a healthy weight loss? -

How many pounds a week?

depends, but 1 lb is about right...think about it....thats over 50lbs in a year...alot of weight!

1-4 depending on how over weight you are.

Depends on your muscle-weight percent.Losing weight isn t all that important, its the toning and building up of stamina that counts.As you work out more, your weight-loss rate reduces, as your mucles strengthen. You lose inches, but not weight.

No more than 2 pounds a week. If you have alot of weight to lose the first few weeks you will probably lose more than this but your body will then start to plateau. 2pounds a week is what you should be aiming to lose at a steady rate over a long space of time.

I just had a physical with my DR yesterday and told her that I wanted to lose a few. Her response was to not lose more than 3 pounds a week. If you are at a healthy weight for your height and age and you have been consistently the same weight for over a year then eat what you are eating and increase your workout regimen.

You should always check with your doctor before trying to loose weight. I am currently in a battle with the extra 60 lbs I gained during my pregnancies. The doctor sent me for blood work first to check thyroid, blood pressure diabetes. Once clear he recommended I aim for 2 lbs a week. Although that seems like a small amount in just over half a year I could lose the weight it took a three years to put on.

What are good weight loss tips for an obese 16 year old girl? -

She is eating healthy but nothing has happened for years. What other tips can you give?

Hey Sakika,Exercise and healthy eating are very important, but unfortunately, she may have trouble losing weight because of her age. During the teenage years, the body is undergoing lots of changes, including changes in hormone levels, circadian rhythms and more - all of which can make losing weight more difficult. She may find she naturally slims out in a few years as her body settles down.However, there are a few other things to check on. Talk to her to see if she s sneaking unhealthy food at school - I ve worked with students before who will toss their healthy, homemade lunches and trade with friends for goodies, or borrow money for vending machines or cafeteria snacks.Also, although 16 is a bit young to be thinking about bariatric surgery options, her doctor may recommend a medically-supervised diet program depending on how severe her health parameters are. Many obese children are at risk of fatty liver disease or heart disease - things typically seen in much older adults. If she is at risk for some of these health conditions, her doctor may want to take more drastic action.It s great that you re being proactive about this - keep up the good work!

Have her try calorie shifting, the idea behind the diet is to instead of avoiding food, embrace it and use it to your benefit to improve your metabolism. This way you ll actually continue to burn fat even once you stop the diet.The major problem with all diets that limit your calorie intake is that they as a result weaken and lower the effect of your metabolism on the foods you eat and actually make your body much more prone to storing calories as a result. Much like when an animal goes into hibernation, your body will go into scarcity mode and begin holding onto anything it can.That s the main reason that people experience rebound effects from diets. Calorie shifting actually does it right because it changes the way your body utilizes food and as a result you lose weight and keep it off when you stop.I ll throw in a link to a popular calorie shifting diet program in my source box for you to learn more about it.

What are your best weight-loss tips and motivations? -

How to get up each morning and go for a jog?How to avoid the cravings? Tell us your best weight-loss tips/motivators/play lists...anything!

When it comes to losing weight, staying motivated is one of the hardest thing to do. You tend to want to give up after not seeing results early in your program. However, you should keep you eye on your goal. Whether it is to lose 10 pounds, 25 pounds or even 100 pounds. You see the only person that knows what you really want is you. Tell yourself you can do it and follow through with your program. Below are some tips to help you stay focus and lose weight.Tip #1- Avoid going on the scale on a regular basis. For most people the is a bad habit. You see the scale can be very discouraging. If you constantly go on the scale and do not see a decrease in your weight you will feel like giving up because you may think that your program is not working. But note that the scale can be misleading. You see while you are losing weight, you are also building muscles. Therefore it will not show on the scale since the mass of your muscles will replace the weight loss. So to avoid feeling discouraged, you should avoid the scale.Tip #2- Do not compare your body with others. Everyone has a different genetic make up. Some people can lose weight fast while some people will take months. Now if you are comparing yourself with others, you will only discourage yourself more and not focus on your real goal that you want to achieve.Tip #3- Treat yourself after you cross small milestones. This will motivate you to continue. So break down your long term goals into smaller goals and once you achieve one of your goals, treat yourself to something nice.

n the medical community it is very common to hear people desperately say I need to lose weight quickly without exercise. The reason for this is because they do not have the time for lengthy diet regiments and exercise plans at the gym. Right now the news in the country is all about cutting back on expenses to survive. However, another crucial issue in the nation is how to cut back on fat to keep from becoming obese. So, whether you just need to shed a few quick pounds or are suffering from being well overweight or obese, there are finally some answers for you. Steps to losing weight fast without exercise * Find the right nutritional mix of healthy foods * Find the right diet supplement

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Well, according the David Burns, M.D. the best thing to do to motivate yourself is to see some results. And the only way you can do that is by doing. Motivational talks don t do much for us (yes me too). Results help get you up and going.As far as eating to beat the cravings, you might try eating filling foods. Whole grains, lean meat, fat free milk, vegetables and fruit are all foods that stay with you longer.

You may take apettite suppressants. Just choose the natural ones, not the one with side effects.
