Hey again!
Had a few questions...

Would white flour pasta decrease my chances of losing weight or increase belly fat? I made some for lunch and cooked only about 3-4 Spatula spoons.

Also, I want to lose my last 10 LBS, but I don't seem to be losing anymore . I have "skinny" days and "fat" days. somedays I think I have lost weight...ant others, I I dont.

Oh and, If I were to suck my tummy often..would this help decrase belly size?

Andd..3x a week of excersice that isnt always itnence is helpful in losing fat as well, right?

LAstly, If i went on an all liquid idet for a week..would this helpme lose faster? (i.e soups, drinks)

Hi, I'm a 13 year-old female and I need to lose 17kg (37.4 pounds to be exact) before the new school term starts in January next year. I don't live in the US or anywhere near there and I'm getting a little pissed at the diets out there in the internet that are for an average American

Example: For lunch: 1 broiled chicken

Since I live in Asia, we do not have food stalls that sell these kind of stuff excluding those posh restaurants. Hell, we don't even have mexican food in my country!!

Also, since its the holidays right now my parents buy food home during their lunch breaks and I'm not allowed to cook during the day without my parents (they work). Yes, their really protective of me and won't even let me out of the house if someone else (like my brother) is going out!! HELL

At home, we don't have the treadmill and those crazy equipments that they have in gyms. We don't even have weights just so I can do a little weight lifting!

So, considering my situation could you please, please help me out? I need to lose 17kg (37.4 pounds) before school starts on 3 January 2010? Thank you!!

Vaya aquí para perder peso, pero no entiendo qué dispositivo se habla de

Adrian Bryant | 09.28.09 - 9:34 am

Tengo 25 anos y peso 240 subi de peso por el dipositibo. Me lo acabo de quitar antes pesa 140. Como puedo bajar rapido para regresar a mi peso de antes de que me pusiera de dispositivo.

Adis | 09.25.09 - 12:07 pm

I am on my own homemade custom diet for 3 weeks and I've lost 18 pounds!!! How is this done? Half a big box of TOTAL RAISIN BRAN which is 8 oz. per day (about 4.5 serving,675 calories all carbs).45 to 55% of your daily calories should be carbs.These are complex cabs which 20% of them get burned off during digestion (675 turns into 540 cals)plus the cereal is high in fiber which makes you fell really full. Watermelon (no idea),3 carrots 20 calories each,3 stalks of cellery 20 calories each,6 slices of wheat bread 50 calories each,(1) 5 oz. Can of solid white tuna in water 120 calories,1) small can of sardines in water 150 calories and water is all I eat.The fish is for protein beef has more calories than fish1250 calories total plus the watermelon calories.There's a catch of course to this... I run from 6 to 10 miles per day(90 to 130 cals per mile depends on weight) Let's go w/110 per mile @ 8 miles plus 2 miles of walking at 45 cals per mile.That's 970 cals per run&walk.1250 minus 970 is 280 cals I take in per day plus I'm on HYDROXYCUT (norepinephrine is the hormone in your body that controls how fast you burn fat. HYDROXYCUT can increase norepinephrine levels in your body by up to 92%) for the past week so there's no tell ing what amount of cals that's burning (maybe it burns of 280 cals??)I may be breaking even at 0 cals for the day. The average persons diet is 2,000 calories and it takes 3,500 calories to burn a pound.I ate just carrots,watermelon and celery for 30 hours str8 (no carbs). I burned off 2.3 lbs in 30 hours w/8 miles of running in there!! I was 212 when I started. Now I'm 194. 10 pounds in the 1st 13 days w/o HYDROXYCUT. Whatever your weight is divide it by half and that's the amount of oz. of water you should drink. I don't even lift any weights. Once I get into it it will only enhance the effects of the HYDROXYCUT.

Also avoid all food and drinks w/ high fructose corn syrup. Its a cheap form of sugar which turns into fat really quickly. (Soda,cakes,cookies etc.) Basically everything you eat has it. Vitamin Water has crystalline sugar so it's great. YOUR BODY DOES NOT NEED SUGAR TO SURVIVE AT ALL!!!! A gram of fat has 9 calories and carbs and protein have only 4 calories per gram. BOTTOM LINE IS STAY AWAY FROM FAT!! Carbs give you energy, they are not bad. Complex carbs that is, stay away from refined carbs.Eat a couple of bowls of cereal of some pasta and then go for a run. You will feel great and full of energy. Try this w/o carbs and see the difference.I'M STILL TRYING TO COME UP WITH DIFFERENT AND BETTER DIET'S FOR ALL PEOPLE. EMAIL ME AT ronj1983@gmail.com for questions.

THE FIRST THESIS I POSTED IS MY DIET AT 212 POUNDS TO START AND I'M 5'9. SOMEONE WHO WEIGHS LESS OR MORE WILL HAVE TO JUST ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. AS YOU PROGRESS YOU WILL DECREASE YOU DAILY FOOD INTAKE LITTLE BY LITTLE. DON'T TRY TO GO FROM A 2,000 CALORIE DIET TO A 1,000 CALORIE DIET. YOUR BODY WILL HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY ADJUSTING. Email me at ronj1983@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Thank you.
And..I know you've had a link about "Cheating" once in a while. But, I can't find it. Im really bad at not cheating, I just ate a 280 Cal. cookie and feel horrible about myself. =(
Im worried I'll gain all the weight back everytime I cheat, but I think the link would help a little...and about cravings.

I think whatever it is you are doing to lose weight that you are on the right track and you dont need to worry about how much fat it is you are consuming but here's what you do need to realize...

#1 - since you already look good - its going take longer for you to lose more weight unless..

#2 - you do more intervals (see NowLoss.com/i and How to speed up weight loss here and/or...

#3 - eat less calories which at this point of your weight loss journery - your fat loss will be more because of your workout intenisty intead of how much you eat but you should eat between 1100-to-1400 calories anyway

i have flabby thighs and i hate them im fourteen and my graduation in on june 12 i want to lose these thighs fast. i keep trying but no help. i want to wear a dress knowing i have pride in myself a to move without an earthquake. i have a slim upper body and a slim face but my thighs and butt... woah! look out fat albert! ive tried excersices for thighs and butt but idk its not giving my results. please help my im upset

mary | 06.03.09 - 8:19 pm

I believe the 'type of food' thing. While on the same number of calories per day and eating balanced (30-40-30, I definitely lose weight faster if I focus on the darker fish (tuna and salmon mostly) for protein, apples for carbs, and almonds for oils. I have too many frustrating plateaus if I eat things like pork, bread, or margarine instead ...and that's with the same caloric intake (I repeat myself.)

Brian D | 06.03.09 - 6:43 pm

jess,

It depends on how long it takes you to eat and store an extra 3500 calories?

if you gain more than a pound in a day then it's probably water weight gain

Adrian Bryant | 06.01.09 - 8:34 am

i know how many calories it takes to gain a pound but how long does it take for u to gain that pound? that same day will u gain it ? the next day.... week?

jess | 05.31.09 - 1:55 pm

Sushi itself isnt bad but...

Adrian Bryant | 05.30.09 - 9:18 pm

hi adrian i wanted to know is sushi good for u when on a diet or will i gain weight from eating 6 pieces of sushi?

jasmine | 05.30.09 - 1:16 pm

PIRLANTAA,

No - Doing that will not set your back seriously on losing weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.20.09 - 9:19 pm

I decreased my intake on sodium and sugar and wheat.

But, I use 60% less fat cesar salad dressing with my salads...about 3-4 tbl spoons...and i use it as a veggie dip.

Would this decrease my chance of loosing wieght?

Everybody's is different but once you hit a plateau - Just look at how to break out of a weight loss plateau

Adrian Bryant | 02.02.09 - 5:03 pm

Alright..SO, My diet is..
NO eating after 6 PM.
no BREAD or anything made of dough.
HArdly any junk food (chips,chcolate)
Less sodium intake
Organic green tea 3-5 cups a day
Dancing - 2-3 times a week half an hour to one hour
and
1 hour workout 3 times aw eek.

If i continue my diet like this, would my body get use to it? I know you need trick your body every 2-3 weeks when it comes to work outs..but, if I ate in this routine for..3 months..will my body realizee Im dieting and stop loosing fat?

I hope that made sence.
