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

Question: I need a good Diet plan and help with losing weight. I’ve only been eating Chewy bars and some fruit! Is tht good? I might get some salad later too. And Losing weight. Is a homebody workout video good enough for me to lose weight? It’s the walk at home video and it has a full workout of 3 miles. Should I do that everyday? or Should I do it every other day? and can any of you sum of the amount of time it will take me to lose at least 5-7 pounds? Ive been doing the 3 mile workout everyday for the last 3 days.
Answer: chewy bars are good if they are the healthy ones like fiber one chewy bars, they’re only 90 calories and have grams of fiber. video and 3 mile workout are great. drink 12-14 8oz glasses of water per day (eat your calories rather than drinking them, i.e. soda, juice, etc.). eat lots of fruits and veggies, some protein and little of carbs and fat. eat six-eight meals a day rather than the traditional three to increase metabolism. and never deny yourself anything because you will crave it, everything in moderation is key. and berries, grapes, bananas, spinach, sweet potatoes, white potatoes with skin, whole grains, chick peas, kidney beans, and lean protein are great to reduce the waistline.
burn more calories than you consume. swimming, brisk walking and jogging are great calorie burners.
good luck

What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: Okay so im planning on signing up for the airforce in about 3 months. Im a little overweight. I want to lose about 40 lbs to meet the requirements. Im a female. What are some good diets & exercises to do to lose that much in that amount of time? Im about to get really dedicated to doing this so please help! thanks !
thank you guys!
Answer: if you want to lose weight that fast you need to be working out at least 5 times per week.

Do a mixture of about 3 or 4 weight listing sessions and add in another 3 cardio sessions of 20-40 minutes.

in terms of your diet eat about 40% carbohydrate, 40% protein and 20% healthy fats (fish oils).

after the 1st month and a half cut carbs further to 30% and add protein to 50%. Also up the cardio and keep weight training sessions to 30-40 minutes.

There are so perfect articles for you on one of my sites, which i have linked to. I hope the help and good luck!
