Basic Dieting Questions. Help Please? Will Give Best Answer Points?

Filed under: diet help — Tags: , , , , , , — judy @ 12:03 pm

I just love answering these diet help questions. Here’s another:

Question: I am currently bike riding and trying to lose weight. I have lost 35 lbs. already over the course of 3 months about. I have started eating less than i used to, and have started eating more fruits; however, i do intake a sufficient amount of calories that I do not find myself tired. I do eat meats and that, so it’s not like a crash diet kind of thing. The only really huge difference is the bike riding. When I bike I go all out. I’m usually out for a half hour, but I get a good 9-10 miles in. My question is, am I setting myself up for a failing diet in the end? Am I losing stored fat weight, or some other kind of weight? How much do I need to get to to start noticing a significant leaner stomach? And is there anything else I can do to help improve and fine tune my diet?
Answer: The main thing that sets people up for failing in diets is dieting in a way that you will not be able to sustain if you think you can keep at your diet/weight loss program then no you probably aren’t setting yourself up for failure, the main thing is keeping at it.

As for the weight loss in terms of is it fat by 20 minutes (in general) you have used up all the readily available carbs in your body and so start to burn fat personally i would suggest that if you can try and stretch the biking out for another 10 minutes it can make a big difference (again i say may because everyone is different)

As for the leaner stomach from my personal experience I didn’t think my stomach was getting any leaner when i was losing weight but then i noticed that my pants were feeling a little looser and other people started noticing so just look for the small things like that and if someone asks you if you’ve lost weight don’t assume that they are just being nice you just may not notice the difference.

The most important thing though is to keep at it the changes you want aren’t going to happen overnight so keep at it and be positive :)

Diet,Suicide,etc Please/Help/Read :P?

A diet help question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: Last week I only had a shake,two granola bars,Maybe three glasses of orange juice orange juice,a small piece of pizza and water. All last week. That’s not really under the amount of calories I need. It’s not like I just had water. This isn’t the reason why I sometimes don’t eat but I don’t like seeing other people eat or people seeing me eating. I will eat but I just don’t like it at all. I’m not starving my self but I sometimes get this feeling where I want to be under weight. Do you not say no you don’t because that will really piss me off. I know its not a good thing. I am not asking you to give me a lecture about that. And also sometimes I think about suicide. I wish I could just poof away. This is actually quite often. Again I would NEVER commit suicide. NEVER. I know how much it would hurt my family and friends.

I’m 13. If you need information just tell me.

Idea’s Thoughts anything about this would be great.
*more information*
Don’t say therapy or talk to someone please please please. I am not here for you guys to tell me that. I am already in therapy because of something else. Thank you.
I am not going to take any medication that you guys tell me to either.

Answer: Being thin at 13 is not so bad. But don’t get anorexic. It has something to do with a past event or something. Because it does not happen very often that people don’t like to be seen eating. Or see others eat. In other words it is something in your mind that makes you think this way. When you eat, eat healthy and take vitamins for women. Eat at least one meal a day. If you don’t the organs in your body will start failing.

I’m glad to know you won’t commit suicide. You are young. Go out, have fun. Go buy something you like. too young to be thinking like that.

Starting My Diet Tomorrow!!need Helps!!:]?

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

Question: so i want to lose 5lbs in the next month maybe 10 but my goal is five since im already thin. i have trouble sticking to a diet or not going over the amount of calories i set because i always feel starving. im a size 4 and so im not fat and i have no idea why im always starving lol. need snacks and meal ideas :]
Answer: dont worry really too much about "counting calories" as the most important thing is to do this naturally..without medicines, chemicals, "starving" your self etc…if you eat right and natural foods,, you will not eat as much as you wont be hungry..as contains lots of nutrients and very little fattening molecules.really you can eat how much you want to feel full as long as it is natural foods.

first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be "lean meat" such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID "JUNK FOOD" and "Fast Food" as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is not good .

if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose at least 10 pounds per month until you get to your natural healthy weight..dont know what your height is,,but look up on the internet what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

10 pounds each month in 6 months you should lose 60 pounds..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a "food steamer" at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a "rice cooker" which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs "healthy carbs" to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good "jasmine rice".. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like "cumin" or "Curry powders", etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

drink "Green Tea" as this is very healthy and helps burn weight faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well.

good luck
