Keep the diet help questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: I completely intend to eat healthily and exercise in order to lose the weight. But if there is a healthy aid I can use to help me (e.g. suppress my appetite or whatever) I might try it. I have always believed that all diet pills were all bad for you. Is this true?
No Mr Blue Sky I am not from the U.S. I just had a baby and have added some weight from that.

Question: Any Good Diets Help Me Lose Lik 30 Pounds in 2 Months?
Answer: First off, make sure you check out how Ruby and I lost all the weight we did: The Diet Tribe! Now, onto your question…Hello,

Here are the following tips that I can tell you:

Follow your foods pyramid that tells you how much servings you need for each group of foods.

Exercise at least 60 minutes

Do not starve yourself–it does not help to lose weigh, it increases your weigh.

Sleep 8-10 hours, it helps to burn calories

Eat small portion of foods for every two hours–it claims that it help to burn calories faster.

Do not eat until you're full, eat when you're satisfied.

Use the computer for only two hoursâ??youâ??ve got legs to move around, be an active person.

Drink plenty of water & real fruit juices

You will need to put a lot of effort to lose 30 pounds and if you do, it could result faster than you expect.

Best of luck!

Answer: First off, make sure you check out how Ruby and I lost all the weight we did: The Diet Tribe Now, onto your question…Unfortunately you can't target fat loss, exercise and a sensible diet will help you lose the belly fat but you will also lose the fat on your hips and butt. If you wanted a bit more shape in upper leg area then I'd recommend weight training (squats are an excellent exercise).

Designing a Diet for a Lifestyle, Anyone Want to Help?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: , , , , , , , , — judy @ 12:00 pm

This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:

Question: I am tired of people telling me about fad diets and wanting to loose weight quickly. So I have designed my own plan to help get people in shape over the long term which is designed mainly to educate people about their bodies. For example, as most of the problems with dieting come from going on a quick diet and then going off it and putting the weight back on, I use a different solution.

First you must follow these rules:

1). You must eat 6 meals a day (one every 2 or 3 hours.
2). You must not eat anything 4 hours before going to bed.
3). Breakfast is the most important and biggest meal.
4). Watch your outputs (ie urine, and stools for dehydradion and constipation or diarrhea, sleep patterns).
5). Start with eating everything you like one week before the diet begins, but when the diet begins force yourself to eat as much as you can of the things you love if you are to eat them at all. for example, if you love chocholate, eat 10, 15 or even 20 of the same chocolate bars not 1.
Then, and this is the most important part.

Every week slowly change just one meal to the correct healthy diet while keeping the rest of your diet whatever way you want. For example:
Week 1: Monday morning have a healthy breakfast, but eat whatever you like for the rest of the week.
Week 2: Monday morning have a healthy breakfast, and brunch. But eath whatever you like for the rest of the week.
Week 3: Monday morning have a healthy breakfast, brunch, and lunch, and again eat all you want for the rest of the week.

At the end of 6 weeks, you will be eating healthy one day of the week forever!

Continue the process for each of the other days and over the period of a year you will slowly work into developing a healthy diet.

As you learn about the benifits of the foods you eat, and how to analyse you outputs in more details. You can customize you diet and eat as you choose. Esentially eating your way to a healtheir lifestyle.
Now I dont argue with the fact that at least for the first 3 to 6 months you would put on a lot of weight. But later on, as you learn and it becomes a habbit, you will not only be able to loose the weight, but control it. That is, put on weight if you need to, or take it off if you need to, because you will know about foods and how they affect you.

As no two people are the same, meaning some people have alergies to certin foods, this method would eventually progress to becomming a different diet for different people, one uniquely suited for each. But infinately more healthy long term.

Answer: First off, make sure you check out how Ruby and I lost all the weight we did: The Diet Tribe Now, onto your question…The following healthy living recommendations will help you if youâ??re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid â??High Glycemic Load Carbsâ? (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is â??Weight Training for Dummiesâ?. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is "Muscle and Fitness". Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is â??Fitness for Dummiesâ?.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is â??Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005â?. A superb book to read is â??You The Ownerâ??s Manualâ?. An excellent periodic publication is the â??Nutrition Action Health Letterâ?. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Where Can I Get Diet/nutrition Info to Help My Son Eat Right for All the Gynastics/dance Training He Does?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: , , , , , , — judy @ 2:11 pm

Another diet help question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:

Question: concerned that my son really does not eat enough for a start,but on top of that he is a very active child.he does something every night and all weekend in particular dance classes and intensive gymnastics training.looking for nutrition information/diet plans that my 10 year old can read and understand how much he needs to eat to train this hard and not become ill and grow properly.
Answer: First off, make sure you check out how Ruby and I lost all the weight we did: The Diet Tribe Now, onto your question…You should start by talking to his various coaches and trainers and see what they recommend. If you can't get something concrete from them, it would probably be worth it for you to invest in a session or two with a nutritionist, one that's worked with children before. She can explain the plan to YOU in adult detail and to your son in ways he can understand. You'll probably learn something too.
