How to speed up your metabolism during weight loss? -

on LA weight loss program since Oct. 31 and lost 20 pounds, but since December I cannot loss any more weight, no matter what I do.

Drink green teaGet 8 hours sleepTry interval training

do not do LA weight loss!! they did a special on 20/20 and it is ALL A SCAM!!

exercise within an hour of waking up! drink alot of water!

eat spicy food specially cayenne and of course drink lots of water

You need to switch up your exercise routine, increase resistance or up your reps. This is normal when trying to lose weight, you ll almost always reach a plateau and stop losing for a bit. Don t give up though, keep pushing and you ll start losing again. Keep in mind alot of people lose weight quickly at the start of exercise programs and it gradually slows down but don t fret it ll still come off just keep working at it.GOOD LUCK!

Drink alot of water, at least 3 large glasses a day. =)

Weight loss and exercise? -

I have just started a weight loss program(5 weeks ago) my starting weight was 21st 3lbs. weight now is 20st 5lbs. my pogram is 15 miles cycling twice a week. 4 x 45 mins weight sessions. my question is i am finding my weight loss has slowed right down.is this because i am building muscle and if so will the weight loss speed up in time?

The weight sessions will not lose weight. If anything, they will develop muscles and muscles weigh more than fat. Give up the weights for now.Concentrate on aerobic exercies, such as your cycling, that makes you pant and sweat. That s the exercise that will burn off excess calories through oxidation. Running and skipping (with a rope) are also good, and cycling indoors on an exercise bike is healthier if you live in a city.You don t mention diet and that s important. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories through exercise than you consume in food and drink. But exercise alone is unlikely to be enough and, anyway, it may make you hungry and that defeats the object.Try to limit your carbohydrate intake each day, equal IN TOTAL to 4 slices of bread or one bowl of sweet cereal or two sweet fruits (oranges, pineapple, plums and the like) or two small potatoes. Nothing made from sugar such as sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits, fitness bars, milk shakes. Cut out starchy vegetables such as potatotes, parsnips, carrots, turnips, beetroot (basically root veg) - concentrate on eating greenleaf veg such as cabbage, sprouts, cauliflour and salad things - lettuce, celery, chicory, tomatoes, zucchini courgette. Little alcohol - say a glass of wine or a half pint of beer a day - no more. Within reason, you can eat as much as you like of fish, poultry and lean meat. Some cheese each day.The so-called Atkins diet is a good guide but don t go for expensive supplements or counselling sessions. Just follow the tips and general ideas of low-carb eating.If you follow this regime of aerobic exercise and diet, I m sure your weight will start to fall again quickly.Hope useful.

It could be, I take it you have reduced ur calorific intake? - the weights sessions should be high intensity, by that high reps,light weight,little rest between sets. Good luck, youve made a set in the right direction.

Anyone used lipodrene (with ephedra), nuphedrine or the Physicians Weight Loss program to lose weight? -

I m 5 7 , 160 lbs, trying to get down to 125-130 lbs.If you are going to say don t take pills , no magic pill is recommended for long term weight loss or diet and exercise only , DONT BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME RESPONDING. I just want some honest, serious responses from people who have had experiences with any of these methods or know people who have. What were the results? Side effects? Time frame of weight loss?I m trying to lose weight for a June wedding! Thanks :) p.s. If you have experience with the Physician s Weight Loss program, do you have to go in to the center or can you do the program online? When I went for a consultation, the R.N. said I needed to pay $100 for my initial visit (after the consultation), then $18-20/week + cost of the supplement shakes, soups, bars, etc. which, I figured out, would come to almost $400 for 6 weeks - which would allow for a 30-35 lb weight loss.

Just try hoodia. It s all natural and will work better for you and it s cheaper!!! I used desert burn hoodia and lost 33 pounds and have kept it off for over 3 years now. I had back surgery in 04 and put on some weight because I was laying on my back recovering for a while. My buddy mark is practically a personal trainer although not certified or anything, just that he;s really up on all the latest fitness and nutrition supplements and stuff. Anyhow, I asked him what to do and he told me he heard good things about hoodia. I did some research and found out the desert burn was one of the best. I got some and took it on the first day and literally forgot to eat. My appetite is very strong I might ad so when i forget to eat it s kind of a minor miracle. So I took it for a couple of months and my will power was very high and I dropped 33 pounds in just a couple of months and it didn t even seem like I was dieting. I was so psyched about feeling better and losing the weight that I started my own website dedicated to back health, diet tips and all around wellness. You asked, I m telling you. try hoodia. It worked like a charm for me. If you want, cut and paste: online health desert burn hoodia :into your GOOGLE search and you can read all about it and just tons of good diet and nutrition advice Best of luck and take care my friend. You just need a little help. Hoodia will help.

Yes I have used Lipodrene with Hoodia. I feel its one of the best formulated ephedra weight loss products on the market and it s highly effective. As with any ephedra products or ephedra free fat burner, you will receive optimal results by using in conjunction with a proper diet and exercise program.Lipodrene with Hoodia is has been used by millions of people and is definately a hot product.

With all these weight loss programs why are so many still overweight? -

It doesn t make sense! Is there not enough weight loss companies to help all these people or is it these people don t care to lose weight?

You must be slender or you wouldn t be asking such a silly question. Sure, a person can lose weight. The trick is to KEEP it off - and that requires a permanent change in lifestyle, not a quick fix that is here today, gone tomorrow. Most people don t realize the meaning of the word diet. It means a way of eating. Diets where one only drinks protein liquids or other fads are fine for the short term, but not realistic for a lifetime habit.And for many persons, especially the poor, fast-food eating has become a way of life. Foods high in protein, such as meat, are usually more expensive. And also, for many people who cannot afford to take ANY vacation, who haven t got a house, who are living from paycheck to paycheck, eating is about the only luxury or comfort left to them.There is a simple answer, of course: expend more calories than you take in. Remember, NOBODY had to worry about dieting in Auschwitz.

With all the rehab clinics why are there still drug addicts?With all the schools why are there still ignorant people?For many overweight people food is an addiction. They eat when they are depressed. They eat when they celebrate. They eat when they are stressed out. No weight loss program is going to work until a person has the mental fortitude to control their eating habits. Most weight loss programs offer support and guidance but the overweight person needs more than that. Just like many alcoholics keep drinking after going to AA meetings.Most of these people want to lose weight but they can t find the will power. Its not that they don t care, they just don t know how.

Overweight people can loose weight without needing the help of weight loss programs..They just have to watch what they eat and exercise. Apparently, people enjoy eating and are too pre-occupied with different things to find time to exercise. ANd about those weight loss programs, not all persons bodies would respond to them. It would still depend on the person s body functions.

Because they can t control themselves and they give up and not the program its them

Because there s no such thing as diet . The word needs to be removed from the dictionary.

BECAUSE ITS NOT THAT PEOPLE DONT EXCERSISE ITS JUST THE FACT TAHAT THEY PIG OUT EVERY LITTLE CHANCE THEY GET.....IF THEY WORK OUT HARD, THEY REWARD THEMSELFS WITH A FATTY MEAL. AND THE PILLS ARE ALL MUST VITAMINS TO GET YOU IN THE MOOD TO WORK OUT....THERE NOT GOING TO DO NOTHING TO YOU IF YOU JUST TAKE THEM AND PRAY THE FAT WILL JUST WALK OFF...SORRRY NOT THAT EASY TRY THIS ROUTINE AND SEE REAL RESULTS.all you need to do is hit the gym,,,get a low carb diet and get lean...you dont need to be skinny to look good. its so easy to see weight loss just by dieting right and running or treadmill for atleast 300 calories which is equivilent to tredmill/23-31mins bycycle=22-25mins....look i do this every day. You should be able to burn 10 calories per minute,.. just take it slowwakeup- eat a bowl of special K serial.snake at around 10 apple, granola,lunch12- eat a salad and a sandwhich. make sure its a salad with something, tuna, chickensnake a banana or sometype of carbs(good Carbs)after work-home nice lean dinner( turkey breast, veggies, patatoes, salad)then after this maybe a small fruit.eat as much wheat bread as you like with your meals, i usualy eat 1-2 slices....AS YOU SEE I EAT ALOT BUT IT BALANCES OUT...I GO TO THE GYM EVERY NIGHT AROUND 8 AND WORK OUT FOR 1HR.

CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)? -

A few years ago I bought a bottle of CLA (90 soft capsules), I m not sure why...probably because I read that it accelerates fat loss on the label...and still haven t used it. What I want to know is, is this supplement a men s only kinda thing, or is it okay for us girls to use it too?If you have used it and you are a female, what would you say it did for you? Did it work, or was it just a waste of money? How did you use it (how many did you take and how many times a day did you take it?) For how long did you take it?I d REALLY appreciate any kind of help because I m really hoping to lose weight, quickly if possible. I am also going to the gym =)

Various fatty acids can be taken to stimulate weight loss by improving fatty acid metabolism. GLA (gamma-linolenic acid from evening primrose or borage seed oils) EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid from fish oil) may also be helpful. Also helpful is the less expensive Omega-3 and Omega-6 found in cold-pressed flax seed oil. CLA benefits are related to reduced appetite levels. When taking additional fatty acids it is wise to supplement the many cofactors that help in fatty acid metabolism. These are: zinc, magnesium, beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, niacin, pyridoxine, biotin and vit. E aids in metabolism and prevents oxidation of the other oils. It is always important to take some type of multivitamin with weight loss or other programs as to not delpeat the body s natural stores of other nutrients needed to breakdown the single supplement that you may be taking.

Never heard of it? However I take Evening Primrose Oil and that contains Gamma Linolenic Acid. I have been taking it for health issues for ten years but found that if I take this with a Vitamin Pill, it seems to have a better affect than if I just take it on it s own? Therefore I wonder if these essential oils, you need to be taking the complete range to have a beneficial affect, rather then just one on it s own, if that makes sense? Likewise we can get many via the food we eat, but I was told, people like me: my health problem, cannot easily digest or manufacture GLA. Anyway, I think I might need to change to Omega 3, but will see what my Physician says. My GLA, or Evening Primrose Oil is prescribed via my Physician, so is classed as a drug. As for burning fat? I entered that time of my life, as a female, where the fat left the butt and went on the belly. Likewise they thought I was going diabetic? The diabetes tests was normal, so they told me You have a slow metabolism , with Rheumatoid Arthritis, did they think I was the Bionic Woman? Anyway the health had a blip, I ended up at PT and they suggested I might like to try Pilate s, so I did. Due to the health it was one hour per week and I was exhausted afterwards, had to go to bed. Nine months later, well as a friend stated You have muscles like a man! . The belly fat has gone and seems I have good muscle tone? Therefore if I can do it, no reason why you cannot do it. What I liked about Pilate s, it suited my mobility problems, was a good laugh and enjoyable in a group session. I now do Pilate s at home, just to keep the muscle strength up. Good Luck

People on a weight loss program are advised not to have bananas. why? -

what all do u mean by sprouts?

Bananas are high in Potassium, a necessary nutrient to the heart. I wouldn t listen to fad dieters. They have a lot of sugar in them, maybe this is what they are talking about.

Bananas are loaded with sugar and you are not advised to eat alot of them and a small one at that. They are rich in potassium though, so one a couple of times a week probably would be alright. Spouts are in the veg section in the store, and they are used as additive to a sandwich or salad and other dishes. They are usually sold in a pkg or you can buy them fresh in some stores.

I think what they mean is that unlike some fruits and vegetables, they are very calorie dense and high in sugar, so eat them in moderation because they are very good for you, unlike the so-called diet foods the same people want you to buy, which are are highly processed and will only make you feel deprived. If it s a whole food, it s better for you than any processed food, particularly one who s label screams low-fat , or low-carb . Just be sensible and eat whole food, mostly plant foods, eat meat as a side dish (if you eat meat), and enjoy your food. You can eat ANYTHING you want and maintain a healthy weight, just as long as it s real food and you eat it in MODERATION.

many fruits contain essential vitamins and chemicals that aid the body.for example, bananas contain Potassium, which is a very good chemical for your body.so eating fruits like apples, bananas, and all those will help aid you in weight loss as well as keep your body healthy

Eat them anyways, they are a little high cal for a fruit and have a lot of sugar but they are good for you?

Has anyone tried the Figure 8 Weight Loss Program by Arbonne? -

If so, please give me any feedback you have.~did it help you? ~did you have any weird side-effects? ~how long did you use it/are you still doing it?~did you only use some of the products in the program (to save money or whatever reason) and did those products work at all? Thanks for taking the time to respond! Very much appreciated!

I have not done the entire Arbonne Weight Loss Program but I do use some of the products from the Figure 8 line. I use the Vanilla Protein Shake and the NRG GO3 Fizzing Tabs.When I was using the Shake, I was not following the rest of the plan. The shakes taste really good, although I used half 1% milk and half water. Since I wasn t following an diet plan along with it, I didn t lose any weight. But, I didn t gain any either. I m going to start using it again as soon as my order comes in and this time I m going to be watching what I eat.Next, the NRG Go Fizz tabs are awesome! I love this drink and it really does what it says it will. These tabs helped me lose 8 lbs in just a week and a half. If I was not taking these my cravings would have gotten the better of me and I would have not done as well.I add them to double the amount of water required because I think they taste better that way, the drink can be kind of sweet. Also, it does have caffeine in it (the same amount as a can of soda) so I have to drink them before 2pm otherwise I don t sleep as well. They do not give you any weird feeling or crazy energy rush when you take them. But I do feel like I have more energy and my cravings for food are greatly diminished.If you haven t seen it, there is a specific website just for the figure 8 products: www.gofigure8.com, you should check it out and they have message boards on there you might want to check out for more information.Good luck with your weight loss!

Erin,I m not sure about that one. I DID find a website that has some pretty good reviews on different weight loss programs. I got tired of looking all over the web for different reviews. It��s nice, they have them all in one place. Oh yeah, and they also have some reviews on programs that help you build muscle, too.http://www.FatLossCritic.comHope that helps! Good luck!
