Is the cabbage soup diet safe and does it work? -

i know someone who is 14 years old and she is 5 feet tall and less than 130 pounds but tthats a bit heavy for her height and she wants to go on this diet..i think its fine cuz everyone i talk to says it works..she knows this wieght loss she does lose from this cabbage soup diet wont be permanent but she does need to lose weight quickly for a short period of time...can she do it?..i doubt it will ruin her body cuz it is only for a short period of time..please dont tell me crap like, oh shes too young and shes so light or whatever..just help me out!

It works, but like most diets the second you break off of it you gain the weight back real quick. Her best bet would be to exercise.

no its not safe and yes it does work.. until you re of it, then you gain everything back plus 5

No diets are safe. Diets starve the body of nutrients and initially you ll lose a few pounds but eventually gain it back.What she should do is drink water in between meals. When she is hungry she should eat small meals every few hours--ie. cheese and crackers or a Nutrigrain bar and fruit.Smaller meals every few hours helps regulate the metabolism and speed it up.Walking or going out biking, etc helps too.No diets or starving yourself. It s no good.So the idea is to keep eating, but substitute junk food and high-fat foods for fruits, veggies and balanced diet.Everything in moderation though.

with the cabbage soup diet youll lose weight and fast, but since its only water weight you gain it back quickly when you stop the diet. your friend will lose weight quickly if she follows it exactly but only for a short period of time

Sure, your friend will lose weight if she follows this diet. And possibly a lot of weight in a little amount of time. It will be a good jump start. but before starting check out this site for more info:http://www.magnetic-diet.com/cabbage-sou��

How does birth control affect weight loss? -

I have been on a strict weight loss program. I eat generally healthy and go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week and about three times with a personal trainer. However, soon I am planning on getting into birth control pills. I have been told that your hormones go crazy with the pills... Would this affect my weight loss? I know it reacts differently with each woman... but what are the possibilities?Thanks in advance!

When I took them I didn t notice any significant weight gain or loss. I had a friend who gained 30 lbs, but she was about 100lbs to start, always been one of those bone skinny girls when she was younger. Other friends, maybe 10 lbs or so, but like I said if anything I might have gained 5 lbs. I think its because the hormones affect your appetite, making you hungrier more often, but as long as you pay attention to that and keep doing what you re doing you ll be fine.

How can I lose weight quickly.? -

I m a guy. I am six foot six. I weigh 185 pounds at the moment.I lost forty five pounds this year. My stomach, chest arms and lower legs are relatively skinny and fit. However, my thighs are huge. I want to know how I can lose weight on my thighs but not get too skinny with the rest of my body.I realize you can t lose weight in a focused area but does anyone have any suggestions that may be able to help me.I eat relatively sensibly and exercise frequently.Also, my upper arms near my armpits are flabby-ish. I d like to do something about that to if anyone has suggestions.I don t have access to a gym. And I have two ten pound weights and that s about it.

Have you tried the Lil Jack workout? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezr��

make sure your diets clean, about 80% of the results you get is from what you put in your mouth.eat whole foods like lean meats, oatmeal, fish, sweet potato s, and nuts.do some cardio like walking or jogging for 30-60 minutesuse your 10lb weights and do exercise that use your body weight as well like squats,lunges, push ups, and dipsgood luck=]

Eating good is always good to staying slim and cut, but It wont do any good if you don t excercise. Excercie is vital. Jog a lot, and push yourself harder each time, and stay consistant. Do rigourus sets of pushups,pullups and situps every other day, always push yourself. If you cant afford a gym, make your own. I filled up some milk jugs with sand to make my own weights to use when I cant make it to a gym. Just get creative, and stay active. Check out the mens health website

I fasted the month of ramadan and I have lost 8-9 kg. However i was not weigh loss oriented, i believe I could have lost double that. Fast the next month and watch your weight when you break your fast.

if you really want to lose your weight.don t worry.exercise daily with some hard workouts and drink fresh juices.for more info visit the below website.

Running and swimming and lots of water and protein.

Is this a realistic weight loss program? -

I m 5 2 , am under the age of 20, weigh 119 lbs and have a 29 inch waistline.My goal:To be 110 lbs. and have a 24 inch waistline.I want to be able to reach this goal in, maybe, 2 months. My daily exercises will include:2 hours of tennis.1 hour on a bicycle.Maybe 30 minutes of power walking.Crunches, Bicycle Crunches, The Plank, and Leg Lifts.My eating habits are very healthy. I m not a calorie-counter, though. I really don t feel the need to do math to eat food. My breakfast is usually half a cup of cheerios, w/ skim milk. I may have fruit instead, though. My lunch is usually just an assortment of veggies, maybe some Triscuits thrown in, too. And I have a variety of dinners, all home-cooked and healthy. I may have a dessert, which is usually a sugar-free popsicle or some cookies made with Splenda instead of sugar. Not every day is like this, obviously it differs, but it doesn t change a whole lot health-wise.So, in your opinion, is this a realistic weight loss program?

You dont want to hear this but your body is already healthy and already at a weight that it wants to be in. You don t even eat that much and your body will not be able to handle that much excersize with that amount of food. If you dont like math while your eating food. Forget the math when it comes to the scale and your waistline. You will end up frustrating yourself.

myself, i eat 1 big meal a day, and then mostly fruits and veggies the rest of the day and drink a lot of water, but i m very active , @work and i bike, and crunches, i was 192 lbs just before new years and today , i m 158 lbs. i m 5-6 and went from a 36 inch jeans to a 33, and i ve never felt better. more zip, in my step, and way more energy, and no more alcohol. 2yrs today.

Hellotwo things.Waistline is also a matter of body type. If yours is 29 at 119 lbs, it s unlikely it will be less than 27 at 110. So you need to either revise your weight target or revise your waistline target.Second thing is, if you don t count calories, you won t know how much you are eating. Therefore, you won t be able to plan your exercises accordingly. Furthermore, if you don t count, you will have no idea of the calories in your food, and won t therefore be able to self-regulate effectively (I know people that thought 4 oz salmon to be around 100 calories just because it is healthy, while in fact it s around 200, then calories add up and people get surprised that they don t lose weight!!!). You might stop counting after you ve learnt the caloric value of foods if you wish.In short: without having an idea of your daily caloric intake, it s impossible to understand whether the level of exercising you outlined is enough for your goals or not.:)

it s a great plan. impressive.

This sounds great, but be sure to keep some protein and iron in your diet, you don t want to become anemic.

You don t need to lose weight because you have a healthy BMI. However, you can replace some fat weight with muscle weight by doing the exercises you mentioned. Have fun!
