A healthy weight loss diet for a 17 year old?
I'm 5'5 and about 115 pounds. I'm not neccessarily "fat", but I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds for prom, just to get rid of this small pouch I have on my stomach lol. I want to do it in the healthiest way possible! I need some tips?
okim looking for a weight loss schedule/diet and i need to lose weight fast4free( i have a graduation coming)?
well,im having a graduation soon,and i need advice about losingweight really fast that doesnt include makin my self throwup or just not eating.and i need to tighten my stomach for the most part,and i need it to be free not like weight watchers,or jenny creg,so if u have any ideas on the subject please please send me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions on a diet plan or good recipe websites that can help with weight gain and weight loss?
My husband is trying to loose weight. He has a bad back and the weight that he carries in his stomach is causing back problems. He is not big into exercise so I need to find foods that I can fix to help him loose the extra pounds. I feel that if he looses some weight he will have more energy to excericse. The problem is that I need to put on weight. We are extreme opposites. I want to put on good weight though. Not the weight that can be put on by Big Mac's.....although that sounds like a good way to put on weight, but that is not a diet that will benefit my husband or myself as well.
Can you please give me your opinion on my weight loss plan/diet?
This may be a little detailed for some but can you please bear with me as i really would like some honest opinions.
I slowly put on weight during my final years of school because i stopped sports to study and my eating habits did slip to being unhealthy.
My weight has been the same for about a year.
I'm female, 18 and 167cm.
I have been working full time for 7 months (earning money for uni). I work an average of 50 hrs a wk. my weight has remained constant over that time even though i have been off and on trying to eat healthy and exercise more. it has actually dropped 3 kgs since i left school. BUT i have noticed that i've lost muscle tone and put on fat on my stomach. this is because i find it hard to put exercise into my day given that 2-3 dys a wk i leave home at 7.15 am and get back at 9.15pm... with an hrs break between jobs in between. i am also prone to eating badly sometimes.
So anyway... too now.
I started the meal replacement diet optifast 5 days ago. I was 78kgs and now i am 73kgs. My diet consists of:
1/2 cup (uncooked) of porridge, made with water.
3x cups green tea
2x optifast shakes
2x cups raw vegetables
about 1.5L water from the tap
which is exactly what the optifast diet recommends minus 2 tsps oil (because i don't cook the vegetables)
i feel okay but i am concerned at the rate of weight loss 1kg each day seems extreme to me. it makes me happy but i wonder if i am damaging my body?
i know that people regain the weight after going on these crash diets but i am confident that i will not because i know how to eat well and i have made a decision to ditch the foods which i know were making me fat and also my working hrs are being reduced so i will have more time to exercise (i love bike riding and lifting weights).
the quick results and convenience of this diet have made me more determined, positive and happy with myself. because i have been able to stick to the diet so far i feel more confident in my willpower. i feel like my attitude to eating has changed for the better. my friend even said that i sounded completely different and determined about my weight than ever before. i believe and have planned on eating right after i go off the shakes and having already lost weight i know that i don't need to eat bad food (where as before i would just say 'what the heck' and just eat it even though i know its not healthy).
BUT after reading reviews on the internet i am concerned that its dangerous to do this diet. what is your opinion? I would appreciate it if you read the entire thing before giving a serious answer. thank you very much in advance to any serious answerers.
Do you have a weight loss/diet tip to share?
I saw on Ellen today about how celeb moms wear somethng like a girdle right after delivery. This helps to flatten out their stomach again. I am always struggling with keeping my stomach flat so i thought this was a cool idea. I've been wearing a corset all day and i can already see a difference. I wanna keep doing this for a long time in addition to what i was doing before. I think it'll really work! So that's my diet tip... we don't have to have celeb money to achieve the same results!

Lap band, bypass and other weight loss surgery question about diet?
Wouldn't just eating the special diet shrink ones stomach over time and aid in weightloss? I know bypass moves the intestines around bit it's such major surgery. Why risk it when just eating and following the long term post op diet plan with a nutritionist would produce same results at the same time?
