How can I lose weight without using diet products? -

I m 13 years old and I really want to lose weight. It s not because of what other people say, but because I want to be healthier and feel good about myself. How can I lose weight fast?Also, in the summer, I tend to snack a lot without even realizing it. Is there any way to help that?

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Vary your routines. Don t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn t adjust to any one routine.An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc. Here are a few helpful links.http://www.nutrawatch.com/http://www.caloriesperhour.com/http://www.helpguide.org/life/healthy_ea��http://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-the-H��http://weightloss.about.com/cs/fitness/a��http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/fe��

The best way to lose weight is to be as active as possible. Find a hobby that you enjoy and stick with it. With summer coming up, it s ideal timing. There s biking, swimming, hiking, tennis, skating, you name it---find what you enjoy and do it! This will keep more weight off of you in the long run than anything else, as well as making you healthier and feel better. Nothing wrong with snacking a lot. Most people who stay thin eat more like six small meals a day, rather than three large. It s supposed to be better for your metabolism to eat every few hours. The key is to not eat a whole lot at once, and to choose your snacks wisely. Go with whole-grain options when it s something bread, and eat a lot of fruits and veggies that you like as snacks. Yogurt is a good option too.And PLEASE blow these dummies off who are recommending that you take a supplement. At 13, you don t need to be putting any of that crap into your body. Take care of your body. Once it s ruined, there s no going back.

You don t need to use diet products to lose weight. In fact, you don t even need to diet . Here s an advice:Don t skip breakfast. Eating a healthy breakfast can help you eat in moderation at lunch and dinner. A high-fiber, low-fat breakfast may make a major contribution to a total reduced food intake for the day.Losing weight is simply a matter of limiting calories consumed and burning off more calories with exercise and daily activities. Also, eating Negative Calorie Foods is great way to lose weight.Check out http://loseweightsite.net It has an article on Negative Calorie Foods and to monitor your calorie consumption and daily activity, http://www.mypyramidtracker.gov

They were talking about how all of the celebrities are now using it to lose weight quickly for their movie roles.The only downside is that it works very well, and can be quite expensive.

What is the best diet pill to lose weight fast??????? -

Hi There -The best one that I have found is EZ Body Slimmer and it is sold the cheapest at the link below:http://www.shopit.com/w8lossstudio/produ��What I have found to be good about the is product is that there isnt a stimulant used in the product such as caffeine, ephedra, mauang (sp?), etc, but instead all natural herbs. It is the blend of the herbs that suppress your appetite, without feeling completely cracked out, or feeling anxiety, like you are going to jump our of your skin. The best part is that it is only one pill per day and and you can sleep at night!The biggest problem my girlfriends have had is remembering to eat!

I think pills that is made out of natural ingredients will actually work better and safer. I heard caralluma is one of the best diet pills.It is made from Caralluma fimbriata which is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. It s a new arrival in the family of cactii and succulent plants that are becoming increasingly popular for their appetite suppressant, and weight loss properties, as well as their ability to lower blood sugar.Caralluma fimbriata is believed to block the activity of several enzymes, which then blocks the formation of fat, forcing fat reserves to be burned. Caralluma fimbriata is also believed to have an effect on the appetite control mechanism of the brain.for a free trial, just visit their site

Take a look on the back of any diet pill on the market and it will tell you to diet and exercise while taking the pill. Most of them tell you to take them before a meal with a glass of water. Well, lets stop and think about this... if you drink water before every meal it will fill you up so you don t eat as much. Then if you diet and exercise, like the pill wants you to, you will lose weight. Think logically, and it s free. Diet and exercise are the only ways to lose weight and to keep it off, any doctor will tell you this for free and they are not trying to sell you some fancy product or dangerous pill. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. The only way to lose a pound is to eliminate the 3,500 calories from your diet whether it be through exercising or consuming less. (eg. you cut 500 calories from your diet a day and you lose a pound in a week) Do some research on calorie counting, make sure you find out how many calories you need a day and your calorie deficit. This site will help you start and it will give you a rough idea of how long it will take. http://www.caloriecheckbook.com/self_***��It is also very dangerous to consume less than 1,200 calories a day. Your body will go into starvation mode and it will actually store fat for energy. You will more than likely end up binge eating and gaining the weight back.There are no quick and easy ways to lose weight.

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.

I use Advocare s MNS Max 3 weight loss pills. I lost 10 lbs. the first week, and 6 last week. They don t make you all jittery because they don;t have ephedra or anything like that in them. They are mainly high powered vitamins. I also drink the Spark Drink they have for energy before workouts and cause it s yummy!! lol

i know a great one! it s called exerciseinstead . You don t even have to go to a pharmacy for it! =D

stop the carbs........drink lots of water.....excersize.pills are not a quick fix.

Does seaweed wrap make you lose weight fast? -

Eat Less and Exercise!

yes, only if you eat that only. but what you need to do is get your fat a== on outside do so excerise and rake some leaves.

No, it shrinks your body by detoxing and pulling water from the outer layer of flesh, through the skin. Then it shrinks and compresses that flesh, tightens the skin and leaves you with inch loss (not wait loss) and makes the muscle look more defined. Plus it also jump starts the lymph system and helps remove toxins. The results range between about 10 to 20 inches. (all together) example: about 2 inches around waist, inch around thigh, 1/2 in on arms etc. usually lasting for at least a few weeks.

Try rather Lipotomy AQP on www.Yahoo.com and www.youtube.com . Amazing results !

i herd it works ,although it seems alittle silly!! when you find out let me know i could shed a few my self. kathy a

You can Lose 9 lbs every 11 days after you know these facts:Low Fat Foods DON T WORK......... You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.Low Calorie Diets DON T WORK........ You won t lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body s fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.Low Carb Plans DON T WORK....... You ll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!GO to the source below,,It will tell you the whole secret of weight loss and tell you how to lose weight by eating Chicken,Fish Filet,Cottage Cheese,sandwich and so on.You can find weight loss is so easy and so happy!!!!!The site listed below can help you..http://www.yesloseweight.com

I lost 25 pounds by counting calories. I cut out ALL sugar and ALL bad carbs (like bread, white rice, crackers).If you are a woman who weighs less than 250 lbs, you should limit yourself to 1000 (no less) to 1200 (no more) calories a day. If you weigh more than that, you should eat no less than 1300 calories and no more than 1500 calories a day.Men may have no less than 1300 calories and no more than 1500 calories a day. If you are a man who weighs more than 300 pounds or does heavy physical labor, you may have 1600 - 1800 calories a day.

i lose weight by exercising daily and eating smaller. Use seventeen magazine may 2007 issue to find some healthy eating tips. good luck!

What are the best foods to eat to lose weight fast (along with exercise)and still not be hungry? -

I am getting older and wish to drop about 40 to 50 lbs. Should I lift weights or walk ? . I have a bad knee (arthritis) and can t walk for that long without it being very painful. And, is there a web site for seniors who want to begin a weight lifting program?. I know this is a lot but I just can t seem to find out any other way.

You should do a combination of lifting weights and walking for maximum fat loss!! If walking for long periods hurts you, consider breaking it up, like walking a little in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening.As far as food goes, some good foods to lose weight and still be full are whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter, bananas, almonds (just the serving size), plain oatmeal with fruit or peanut butter mixed in, lean proteins like chicken and fish (not breaded) It s also best to eat 5-6 little meals throughout the day, which makes you less likely to get hungry.Good luck!

Eat fruits.

eat : chicken breast or fish or veal (grilled)eat: dark green veggies like spinach and broccolieat: fruit and low fat yogurteat: steamed rice / pasta / (only a few times a week before 4 pm)You can swim since your knee hurts. That s the best .Weights..you need to talk with yr gym guy...he knows

How to lose weight fast? -

I want to lose weight th fastest way I can. As we all know, summer is approaching and it s the time to go swimming, I would really like to actually take my shirt off and not feel so insecure. I m aiming to lose around 20-30 pounds, I d just like some sense of direction, as to what exercises to do, for how long, and how often. I WILL NOT starve myself, go on crash diets, undergo surgery, ect. Please help, it s appreciated!

Cardio is the best and quickest way to lose weight. If you run several miles a day (with a day off to rest) you could potentially lose 3lbs a week. It will most likely be 1-2lb a week loss. Can you run 5 miles a day, for 3 days then take 1 day off for rest? You could try doing High Intensity Interval Training so you would have to run hard for 30 seconds, then walk for 30-60 seconds, then repeat. You don t need to starve yourself, what you need to do is not eat junk food, drink soda, snack or eat late at night. Make sure to stay hydrated with water and eat protein to build muscle, the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn while your body is idle. If you add in some resistance training then you will increase the amount of calories you burn, you could try putting weights inside a backpack then wearing the backpack while you run. Just don t make it to heavy.

You don t need to do much, watch what you eat though, when you make yourself a meal to eat, make sure it s 60 carbs, no more, when you have snacks, you can have 20 carbs. For excercise, just spend spend time playing a sport or something, swimming, running, whatever you like for half an hour at least 2 or 3 times a week. My doctor told me to do this, it worked out very well for me. It seems like much to do, but it really isn t if you are determined to get it done. For children the carbs would be 45 per meal and 15 per snack. hope this helps you :)

How can i lose weight fast as possible? -

I am 16 about 6ft and im 230-240 pounds I need to loose weight before school im just to fat... I want to drop to around 210 before school i got around a month... can someone suggest how much i should try to run a day and keythings to eat.... I am thinking just to eat apples and bananas and drink water all the time... Please make suggestions thanks

eat 3 healthy meals a day, workout (run, weight training for and hour) and stay active all day. dont just sit down infront of the tv. walk ur dog, go to the mall, or do something with friends just to keep you active and away from food. you cant live off just apples and bananas.have a low fat cereal like Total or fiber one for breakfast with skim milkmaybe a fruit between that and lunchfor lunch and dinner have a lean protein like canned tuna, a turkey or chicken burger without the bun and veggies on the side.also have a fruit or something between lunch and dinner, and maybe a yogurt after dinner to prevent late night snacking

You will lose more body fat eating protein fat (don t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise your body will strip it s own lean tissue for nutrition and although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier for you to accumulate fat in the future (since you don t have all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories). Your body won t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food.Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) and exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.The core of the Atkins program is converting your body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). You need to keep your fat levels at 65% of your calories, if you don t your body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).It takes minimum of 3 days to convert your body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis) you will probably feel sluggish the first week but most people feel better than ever thereafter.Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.Simple carbs are addictive and can be disastrous to our health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs and eat one every time you want something have huge bacon, peppers, mushrooms cheese omelets for breakfast. Pork chops for lunch. Get pork rinds and eat them with tuna salad. Steak for dinner. Make a huge sugar free cheese cake for dessert. Eat so much you won t feel deprived of anything. By the fourth day, your addiction will be gone and you can start making healthy choices.High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger and unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg - let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat. Suggested for daily fiber needs.The first 2 weeks you can have several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce and celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers and more variety of vegetables thereafter add 5 grams per day additional (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) every week til you gain weight, then you subtract 10 carbs. That would give you your personal carb level (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) Start with meat fats salads for a couple of weeks and then you can slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg and lastly wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods. As long as you remain 9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn t gain weight.Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a diet Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Normalizing blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, triglyercerides and hormone levels are all bonus features of doing a low carb way of eating. Lutz Life without Bread Taubes Good calories, Bad calories are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.

Since you are young it will be VERY easy for you to lose weight. First off I bet your eating around 3,000 or more calories a day just to satisfy your hunger. Defintely need to cut down and eat smaller portions, secondly you need to not reduce the amount so low. Take one step at a time, instead of 3,000 calories or more a day. Go for 2,000 or 2,500 calories day. Try to reduce to 2,000 calories as much as possible. You will lose weight for quickly if you do this. Work out at least 1 hour a day, i dont go for the 30 min a day thing. Honestly for your age, you need to be outside for 1 full hour exercising.Make sure on your diet that it includes a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Eat low calorie high protein foods, they will keep you full much longer. Plus when you work out, it will build you up. I personally dont eat meats, i will ( Sometimes) eat seafood. But you should normally eat high fiber cereals, oatmeal, healthy bread, nuts, raisins, etc. Eat foods that are high in Fiber, but not to high. Before you work out always eat something that is HIGH in potassium. Such as a banana or apple. Any kind of fruit will help, or try cereals. After exercising for a few weeks, you might want to make you exercise routine longer. This will challenge your body, you will lose weight very fast if you follow this. Don t starve yourself, eat if your really hungry. Its normally to feel a little hungry when on a diet, because you have made your meals smaller. But your body will eventually adjust and not constantly feel like it needs to eat a lot. Also always drink lots of water, and i 100% mean that. After every meal to, drink coffee ( but not to much), green tea, black tea, orange juice, milk. But in consumption of course, don t go overboard drink orange/apple/grape juice. There very high in sugars, and can make you crave for high calorie foods. Its all about portion control. If you go on a diet for a month, you could lose up to 8-10 pounds or even more. Your body will lose twice as much if you go on a diet for 2 months.
