Thanks for providing this list of foods that help you to lose weight fast.

I tried cutting down on some foods to lose weight but my weight yo-yoed and I didn't feel right. Finally, I discovered that, if you eat the right kind of foods, then you can eat as much as you want and still lose weight and feel great.

Hi. I'm 20 years old. I weigh 129 lbs and I'm 5'1". I go to the gym 7 days a week for 1 hour. I always feel better after going but I'm still not seeing results. I haven't changed my diet, I just started counting my calories and keeping it under 1300. What should I be eating or doing to see results faster?
Thanks.

Hi Adrian,
I'm 5" 6, 28yrs old, weigh 78kgs and I'm asthmatic. My work involves very little movement and I don't have time to go to the gym. I have a big butt, thunder thighs and a pot belly too. Going by BMI, how much should I weigh and how do I achieve this? I've tried many diets but it doesn't work and a lot of exercising triggers by asthma.
Please help,
Thank you.

I have gone from no exercise to exercising 4 days per week 30 minutes. Lowered calories to 1000 or under. I am only 5'1 and weigh 145. When I eat barely and dont exercise I lose weight.... But since exercising I have not gained 2 lbs. I dont know what to do. I also feel more bloated. Also I am starting to take Synedrex. What do you think about that? I need to get rid of this bloating and stomach weight ASAP. Also thighs are not slimming and I workout everyday. Seems like Im better when I dont exercise. Any advise?

April 22, 2013

Adrian Bryant

Are carbs more important then calories for weight lost?

April 13, 2013

Adrian Bryant

nope. see why

April 13, 2013

jairo

Well I have a big problem going on, when I started my diet I didn't know nothing about nutrition and I was hearing that bread makes you fat and the rice snd this and that so I just avoided and stopped eating all carbs and I just eat bread once a week and eat cereals once a week cause I'm scare to gain weight or something, I started doing a low carb diet but it is so hard cause theres some healthy food with carbs that I like like apples or oatmeal and other stuff, should I keep avoiding all this carbs to maintain myweight?

April 13, 2013

Adrian Bryant

no, the only thing that makes you gain weight is eating too much. use this diet to clear up any confusion

April 13, 2013

You have to have carbs for energy and brain function. Eat 45 carbs for breakfast, 45 lunch, 60 supper, 15 snacks. 2 a day. You will lose weight, i have.

April 14, 2013

Ro

Hi Adrian,

I am 166cm and about 69kg. According to BMI calculators, 25 is the point where you become overweight. I am not over by a lot so I feel the "20 pounds in 3-4 week plan" won't work that well for me. I want to lose as much weight as possible in 3 weeks time in my thigh & belly area. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks a bunch!
