I am 56 6'7" ,weigh 310 lbs. what is the best weight for me to be at.

I have two artifical knees and would like to know what is the best way to loose weight because it is so hard to walk with them.

Ken H. | 01.26.09 - 1:11 pm

Sarah,

NO Flavored or surgary oatmeal - Natural oatmeal with no sugar or extra stuff is the best!

Adrian Bryant | 01.25.09 - 1:06 pm

Would it still be okay if I eat flavored oatmeal? Does It matter?

Sarah | 01.24.09 - 8:50 pm

Sawyer,

You can still do the lose 10 pounds in 40 days plan here - it'll just take a little longer than 40 days to lose 15-to-20 pounds.

Adrian Bryant | 01.16.09 - 11:14 am

I am female, 25, 5'2, and about 134. I don't really look fat, but I want to prevent becoming flabby and tone up my arms, legs, and stomach. Also, I'd prefer to eat healthier on a regular basis. I know you have programs to lose 10 lbs. in 40 days or less, but what if I was looking to drop closer to 15-20 lbs.? I don't mind a simple exercise regimine, but all I own are a set of 4 lb. weights and I have very bad knees from years of volleyball and figure skating, so I can't run, at least not long distances or on a regular basis. I want my figure back! Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Sawyer | 01.15.09 - 11:23 am

Sami,

it depends on How many total calories do you need to eat to lose weight? - go here to see how much you need to eat to lose weight

If you stay within your calorie range then you don't have to worry about the 1 tsp of peanut butter

Adrian Bryant | 12.29.08 - 5:05 pm

Hi Adrian,

I just wanted to know is it ok to have 1 tsp of peanut butter on my brown bread in the morning for breakfast? Or am i ruining my day by starting off with a high calorie breakfast. Thank you.

I am 16 6' and weigh 210 lbs.

Nick | 12.22.08 - 11:07 pm

manuel m.,

the amount of weight you lose mainly depends on how much you weight, how many calories you eat and how active you are

Adrian Bryant | 12.13.08 - 8:48 pm

it you eat an apple before each meal(breakfeast, lunch, dinner, snack. it even possible for snakc time) for about a week. how much weight will you lose? I gotta know know!

manuel m. | 12.13.08 - 4:45 pm

ily,

If you're trying to lose weight & look better naked then I suggest you stick with regular oatmeal and avoid flavored oatmeal because of the high sugar which will just make you hungry and want to eat more and gain more weight

Adrian Bryant | 11.29.08 - 9:39 am

i hate regular oatmeal so is flavored 1 still healty to be in my diet ???

ily | 11.28.08 - 9:24 pm

i.am_a_jesusfreak,

The answer to your question mainly depends on your weight & height & how overweight you are...

but it's best that you eat a variety of weight loss foods and not just fruits & veggies - Look at this to see why you need to eat different kinds of foods

Adrian Bryant | 11.18.08 - 3:59 pm

I was wondering if it was possible for me to lose 10 lbs if i just eat fruits and vegetables for 1 1/2 weeks. please reply. Would I lose weight faster if I exercise. Like running, situps, and if I drank a lot of water.

Hi there. I just turned 40 last week and really, really down in the dumps. I'm 5'5 and 145 lbs. I was slim and trim my whole life, even after I had my babies. About 1 1/2- 2 yrs. ago I started putting on weight and getting flabby and fat pockets in my thights and stomach. I have never changed my diet. My whole life, i've been a light eater. I eat maybe 1 or 2 meals a day and very little snacks. I smoke and drink tea and pepsi. I have high b/p and clorestrol, so I eat very little fried or fatty foods. I try working out, but I have little energy. I really have no energy at all. I need to get healthy and slim again, for myself. This is really depressing to me. My husband does not help my situation at all.I don't know how to get started, what I need to get started or what to do to get started. I don't know what the problem is. Please help me.

Hi, I have been fat my whole life, since I was like 3 or 4 and I can't even remember when I thought I was skinny or anything. Well, I've tried practically everything, and I've never been able to hold on to anything because they starve me and I have a hectic schedule. I'm 13, I weigh 130(and that's even worse because I just lost 8 pounds and went to 125 then gained it back, I've never weighed over 120 and I'm so ashamed of myself), and I'm about 4'11 or 5'0 because I got taller. Well, I need something that will keep me full and it's hard for me especially because I don't like any vegetables, don't tell me to try anything because my whole life I don't like it AT ALL. So, you see my situation I have here, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me, we're going to be having Picture Day soon, and I don't want to be remembered as the girl who had all skinny friends and never even tried to lose weight. :-(

Fancy | 09.23.08 - 10:17 pm

Loosing weight may take time if not done in a right way. Your body acts naturally if it needs a healthy exercise and workout. Taking medicines and vitamins while working out has different effect too.

Good article. Also, I have found that the oil pulling technique helps in loosing weight.

In addition to that, it strengthens the immune system and helps in detoxifiation. You may found out more by doing a google on "oil pulling" and "Karach".

I'm 17 years old and I am 5'4. I weigh 134 pounds at the moment. Last year my lowest weight was 120 pounds and I would like to be at that weight again. I try to eat healthy, but sometimes I cheat. I usually go to the gym at least 5 times a week, and at the gym, I run on the treadmill for a half hour, or do a mix of bike/treadmill, but I always do cardio for at least a half hour. I also lift weights and alternate upper body/legs every other day. I'm trying very hard to lose these 15 pounds, but I have a little trouble with what exactly I should be eating. I like carbs a lot, but I know i should be eating more protein. Can you give me some ideas of what I could eat for breakfast and lunch? Thank you!

Mako,

If you're overweight, been on a very bad diet, and been inactive... You may lose up to 10 pounds your first week if you eat raw figs and any other raw fruits & veggies and YES...

Eat raw figs or any other raw fruits & veggies with all your meals and it would be best if you ate them before your meals to help suppress your appetite so you'll lose weight faster

Adrian Bryant | 07.16.08 - 10:19 am

Troy,

Depending on you fitness level - you may be able to get decent results using the weights you have so for no...

Just try to do the best you can with what weights you have and without going to the gym but...

You can also do this chest exercise here without weights to help reduce chest fat and when you do that exercise - try to do it in a push up position if you can -but like I always say...

Getting rid of fat is mainly due to diet and exercise that gets your heart rate up for at least 20 minutes

Adrian Bryant | 07.16.08 - 10:15 am

Adrian, thanks for answering -- I appreciate it! See, I have a lot of unwanted tissue around my breasts (pretty much near the shoulders from where the breast and arm pits meet), and I have puffy nipples. I have dumbbells that are decently heavy (not sure how much they weigh), yet have no other weights than that. I don't have access to a gym since the nearest one is miles and miles away. Any recommendations on what I should do?

Troy | 07.15.08 - 9:37 am

Troy,

Yes, and Go here to lose belly fat and Go here to work on chest

Troy | 07.14.08 - 5:53 pm

Crissy,

You caught me off guard because I've never heard the term "de-fat liver" so I did some real quick research and found this here that may help you but basically it says to de-fat your liver...

"Take soya isoflavines, which contain inositol and choline and help de-fat the liver. Turmeric is good too."

Adrian Bryant | 07.14.08 - 3:00 pm

Hi Adrian
Love your website for your great advice.
I've been told that until I de-fat my fatty liver, it will be impossible for me to lose weight. I followed the Weight Watchers plan literally like bootcamp, and lost next to nothing. So okay , how then can I de-fat this liver of mine. Can you please help me out with this Adrian? Thanks in advance! crissie in the cancer lab

INOVAMAXINC | 07.14.08 - 1:34 am

Desiree,

If it's weight watchers - It may be okay but I can't really say for certain unless i see ingreadients etc.

Is it natural or unprocessed? If yes - then it's probably OKAY

Adrian bryant | 07.13.08 - 11:47 pm

Adrian, is it okay to eat the Lean Cuisine and Smart One (weight watchers) dinners since most of them are between 200-310 calories. I am currently weighing 154 at 5'2 and would like to get down to 130. I am carrying most of my weight in the stomach and thighs. Wasn't sure if eating those dinners would be good for losing weight.

Desiree | 7.13.08 - 9:40 pm

morillo,

Actually, any naturally raw fruit juice like oranges, lemons, or limes that are high in Vitamin C are good

Adrian bryant | 07.13.08 - 11:46 pm

so I can do the same with lime just like syvlistic typed?

morillo | 07.13.08 - 8:40 pm

awsome, Im putting lemon juice in my water from now on with my diet (water/high protein/low carb diet).

syvlistic3205 | 07.13.08 - 4:36 pm

syvlistic3205,

Yes - mixing a little PURE lemon juice will help you lose some weight because it has Vitamin C

Adrian bryant | 07.10.08 - 10:16 am

can I put lemon juice in water to burn fat, or can it?

syvlistic3205(youtube name) | 07.09.08 - 3:49 pm

Lucy,

It depends - does your fruit smoothies have a lot of added sugar to them and do you plan on drinking them a lot?

If the is YES & YES then NO - you need to avoid or limit these if you're trying to lose weight

Adrian bryant | 06.26.08 - 7:50 am

hi im just woundering if i can still drink fruit smoothies while doing this weight loss plan?


lucy | 06.25.08 - 6:07 am

Jocellyne,

The figs and other fruits & vegetables work by cleansing your body so basically they make you have more bowel movements to clean pounds of waste out of your body an if your diet is actually good right now meaning you eat mostly weight foods then...

Figs and other colon cleansing methods may not make you lose a lot of weight real fast so really...

this 10 pound trick only works for people who've previously eaten bad foods and...

You don't need to go crazy and eat lots of figs - Just 1-to-2 a day should do the trick

Adrian bryant | 06.24.08 - 1:08 am

How many figs would you have to eat everyday to lose 10 pounds? Will you have to exercise also??

How much do you weigh and how many total calories do you eat?

Adrian bryant | 06.12.08 - 10:40 am

Hi,
I am wondering; Is it possible to eat to much fruit? I would say almost 50% of my diet is made up of fruit and veggies (ok i am exaggerating but you get the point). The problem is that I am not losing weight. I run 60 min every day and eat lots of fruit.
Whats the deal?
-clueless about eating

whats happening? |   | 06.12.08 - 10:01 am | #

sarah |   05.03.08 - 7:13 am

California,

The key is to eat more fruits and veggies period - I say "2" becasue usally 2 whole raw fruits or veggies is all you need to suprress hunger long enough for you to lose weight fast and maybe 10 RAW baby carrots would equal 1 whole carrot but as I said - It's all about eating more fruits and veggies and not worrying too much about how many and believe me...

Once you start eating more RAW fruits and veggies - your weight loss will be SO EASY.

I hope this helps - if not just contact me agian

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.08 - 9:35 pm

So, as far as the vegetables go, would you say it's okay to eat like 1/2 a cucumber before each meal? or do I have to eat two different kinds? and then, how much of it, like a whole green pepper, half? how big of an apple? how many baby carrots, that kind of thing. Thanks so much!!!

California |   04.05.08 - 12:31 pm
