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 
Another diet help question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: My friend and I are dieting and she has this idea: if you drink around 2L of water before bed or at night, it can cancel out the amount you ate during the day and flush out the bad stuff. So, we eat healthy, do some ab workouts at night and drink 2-4L of water at night (don’t really need to work out cause we’re on a soccer team).
Is this bad? Will this work on getting a flatter stomach?
Can you give me any tips for a flatter stomach?
Thanks!
Answer: no amount of water will cancel out what you ate during the day. thankfully, you are eating healthy.
ab workouts will make your stomach muscles stronger and perhaps a bit flatter, but the real way to get a flat stomach is to lose the fat off of it by getting lean via diet. if you’re really interested, try the plan below or one similar.
What a great diet help question:
Question: ok im 12 years old a white female, im 5′1 114 pounds!!! i feel way fat. all my friends wear a xs in aeropostale & i wear a medium in aero. n i have a lil muffin top. its not fair, i can’t wear tight shirts, cuz im so self conshius about me stomach that my stomach cant even be visible in my shirts. but can u give me some diets, that wont stunt my growth or something. all i wanna do is wear a 00 and xs like everybody else, and no i won’t throw up, don’t be sarcastic or rude or judgemental!
PLEASE ANSWERR! DESPERATE!! :/
AND STOP TYRING TO SELL UR DIET PILLS ON HERE PEOPLE NOBODYS WANTS TO BUY THEM, I WANT NATURALL ! JEEZZZZZZZ!
Answer: You’re 12. Most likely, if you don’t eat crap, you’ll lose it anyway.
When I was 12, I was your height and weighed about 147 pounds. Now, I’m almost 14, I’m 5"5 and I weigh about 119, which is normal. I didn’t do anything but be healthy.
And trust me, when you’re losing the weight, everyone else is going to be putting on weight. Looking like a doll isn’t all that great anyway. . .

I just love answering these diet help questions. Here’s another:
Question: i want to lose some weight, not loads but a few pounds.
mostly i want to flatten my stomach, and lose some weight off my hips.
and i want to find out what type of exercises and foods are best to get rid of my belly and hips.
Answer: jogging is an excellent exercise because it let you lose weight
evenly throughout your whole body. If you want to lose weight in
specific areas, you should target them with exercises. If they are
your problem areas, they will be very difficult to tone. You will have
to work double on them. The best approach is this:
1. Lower/control your daily calorie intake (control for normal
weight, lower for overweight).
2. Run/jog to lower your overall body fat percentage.
3. Target your problem areas with exercises.
an excellent exercise, you can do it in front of your TV: sit on a
stool, and put your toes under something (piece of heavy furniture,
for example). In your hands hold a little dumbbell. Please, make sure
that it is not very heavy, start with one kilo, for example, or you
will damage your back and spine! Slowly move the upper part of your
body back, until it’s parallel with the ground. Stop for a second and
move it back to the sitting position. Repeat ten times. Every week add
to the number of repetitions. You will see the results in a week,
guaranteed! You will see or feel under the fat - if you have any - six
pack and muscles. Dumbbells do wonders. Much better than these
crunches - I came up to three hundreds and there was no results AT
ALL. With the dumbbells you will see it in a week.
Another diet help question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I know I need to cut out soda, junk food, TV dinners, fast food (which I hardly eat anyway), pizza (as it is too greasy). Also is excercising seven days a week for one hour helpful in losing weight or should I try to cut down the days but make the time for excercising longer? I want to get down to 124.4 lbs. and at the moment I am 141 lbs. Also the women in my family are petite. Does that play a factor in me losing weight/fat on my stomach? I want to try to eat healthy, lose weight and try to tone my muscles in my stomach.
Answer: well you shouldent stay to long exercising your muscles for longer than an hour cause it will result in over training and you will get weaker my advice is when you workout do weight training and cardio cause both are great at burning calories which will enable you to lose weight faster but dont do cardio on a weightlifting day cause it will leave you tired and you wont have enough energy to lift weights and you shouldnt be able to do cardio after also cause you should be tired from working hard lifting. so split it up cardio on non weight lifting days. you should do 13-15 rep range which is optimal for toning also diets you should eat healthier and cut the junk food and enjoy the process cause the reward is well worth it

Question: Well im 16! And i started eating alot better I went from being 125 and now im about 117 and i love my weight now. but today i didnt feel so good so i kindof cheated and had a little verners and crackers to make my stomach feel better.. and I’m thinking of cheating today by having a little bit of icecream for dinner lol! is this bad will i gain weight back if i just did that for today? thanks for your help.
Thanks everyone! Yeah so true i havent ate ANY icecream or candy or anything in probably about 3 weeks! But it worked! and I am very active but i just feel like crap today and need somthing good lol! Somone said if you cheat somtimes it will trick your body and you will loose weight quiker?
Answer: You won’t gain your weight back if you have a nice treat every now and then but if you have a nice treat everyday then you will. You need to stop and plan on exactly how many treats you can have a week, because it is good to have one nice thing that you love to eat like cake or candy…But don’t feel bad, it’s not a failure or anything, when we cheat it’s just a minor setback and we can still move on…
