The foods you must STOP EATING RIGHT NOW when trying to lose weight are...

Becky,

Yes - enriched flour means the food is processed or a bad carb for weight loss and...

Canned Pickles have sugar in them

Adrian Bryant | 11.09.08 - 6:23 pm

I was snacking on some brown in color Whole Wheat Crackers (the package called them "whole wheat") and then I saw this site. I checked the ingredient list and Enriched flour is the first ingredient, and whole wheat flour is number two. Does this count as something I should not eat. A bad food - white food in disguise?

Also, Pickles have zero calories, I often snack on these when dieting, but they are listed as a bad food on this site. Why are they bad?

Becky | 11.08.08 - 5:25 pm

Dee,

YES - natural plain popcorn is ok and I haven't seen where gum can be bad for weight loss but chewing gum may increase your cravings

Adrian Bryant | 11.09.08 - 6:21 pm

I thought i saw somewhere on this site that popcorn with no butter is ok but it was on the list of 37 foods not to eat...so can i or cant i eat it.

Also, is gum really that bad. I love chewing gum. I guess i could quit but i didnt know it was bad.

Mary G | 11.07.08 - 7:43 pm

alex,

Original Japanese green tea is best

Adrian Bryant | 11.09.08 - 6:19 pm

green tea? like Arizona Green Tea in a jug? Or the stuff in teabags?

alex | 11.07.08 - 7:35 pm

pia,

You'll only gain weight if you eat too much, eat the wrong foods and/or become very lazy

Adrian Bryant | 11.03.08 - 10:36 am

pia | 11.01.08 - 1:22 am

Jason,

Coffe increases your cravings for more bad foods and you should avoid the extra calories from mayonaise

Adrian Bryant | 10.23.08 - 7:16 pm

Why is coffee so bad for dieting? Also is mayonnaise and olive oil OK for this diet?

Jason | 10.23.08 - 3:44 am

yogesh,

If your food choices are limited...

The best thing you can do is stick to eating the amount of calories you need to lose weight while doing a workout plan to lose weight faster

Adrian Bryant | 10.23.08 - 7:15 pm

So i was wondering is there any type of oil wich is low fat or any indian food guide which we can eat or not?? thnx!! i find ur sit veryy helpfull!!

yogesh | 10.23.08 - 12:08 am

Chas,

I don't have any sample meal plans but what you should do is for your meals is...

Make sure you're eating the right amount of calories in each meal to lose weight and then...

Try to eat at least 1 fruit and/or veggie, another complex starchy carb like oatmeal & protein in each meal

Adrian Bryant | 10.19.08 - 10:49 am

I am 5'8 and I weight 195. I have had a big struggle with weight since I had my son,but that was two years ago. I have looked at all of the foods on your lists. I just don't know how to make the best meals out of them.I love fruits and vegatables I just would not care to eat them all day. Do you have any meals that I could use?

Chas | 10.17.08 - 4:56 am

kate,

If you're frustrated with your weight loss - the 2 things you want to do is...

Look at why you can't lose weight and How to break out of a weight loss plateau and if none of that solves the problem - just contact me again and we'll see if we can both figure this out for you

Adrian Bryant | 10.16.08 - 7:56 pm

I'm getting really frustrated!! up until about a year ago, I wouldn't exercise at all. About a year ago I joined a gym and started exercising about 3 times/week. I saw some results pretty fast. Then in January of 2008 I started meeting with a personal trainer. I started exercising 5 times/week, and eventually moved to where I am now, working out 7 times/week. When I started training I weighed 134lbs and had a body fat percentage of 26.6%. I recently had my last session, and I now weigh 142lbs!!! My body fat decreased to 23.3%, but I feel and look worse. I have been working out really hard every day, to the point where I am dripping with sweat. I am in college so I do drink about 1 night/week, but other than that my eating is pretty good. I always get wheat bread, low fat cheese, milk, etc etc. Occasionally I will eat things that aren't great for you, but VERY occasionally. I am disgusted whenever I look in the mirror and just want to see results comparable to the effort I've been putting in. I don't know what to do! help!

natalie bittles,

Use this diet to gain weight

Adrian Bryant | 10.13.08 - 3:07 pm

Hiya!! could you tell me foods that make you gain weight! Im 5'8 and 52kg so i want to have a bit of meat on me but i dont know how!! I gave up smoking thinking i would eat more but i just eat the same if less! Natalie n.ireland

natalie bittles | 10.12.08 - 8:22 pm

Marc,

Although splenda and all that other low calorie sweenters may seem like a good idea to use while losing weight - it really isn't because those sub. sweetners still make you crave for more bad foods that contain sugar so...

Hold off on the tea until you reach your weight loss goal or treat yourself and only drink a glass of tea every 10 days or better yet...

Only reward yourself with a glass of tea every time you lose 5 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 09.12.08 - 9:11 am

Thanks Adrian!

What about unsweet tea sweetened with slenda, sweet n low or equal?

Marc | 09.11.08 - 10:18 pm

Marc,

I'm from the south also and i love sweet tea also but Look at how to stop drinking soda and also read how to curb cravings to make you stay off sweet tea while trying to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 09.11.08 - 6:45 pm

I am from the south so Sweet Iced Tea is basically all I drink. I assume the sugar is not good for me? I drink about 2-3 10 -15oz glasses a day. Some of it is caffinated, some isn't.

I am 5'10" / 215lb right now and was 263 about a year or so ago. Your websit is great!

Anonymous | 08.19.08 - 5:23 am

sim,

It depends on what kind of hotdog you eat?

If the hotdog is on whole wheat bun and if it's low fat then it's OK but...

You shouldn't try to make hotdogs a staple of your weight loss diet anyway

Adrian Bryant | 08.17.08 - 11:37 am

it didnt say anything avout hot dogs. whats up with that? can I eat 2?

sim | 08.15.08 - 5:57 pm

Hashim,

YES - you can start weight training now and Here's a variety of exercises you can do and Here's a workout to help you chest look better

Adrian Bryant | 08.12.08 - 8:03 pm

Good day sire
I am Hashim, 22 years old
I am facing some problems regarding to my body & my shape in general. Before 6 weeks I started a diet program which focuses on eating only proteins, fat, water and vegetables. And staying away from eating any thing related to carbohydrates such as fruits, bread, corn, milk, soda and sugar.

I am 179 cm tall and my weight before starting the diet was 142 KGs , now I weight 129 KGs.

What I need to know is, can I start weight training write now , and how can I start ?
My chest (breasts) are big – and that is embarrassing - and I need to stretch them?
And If I can't start weight training , could I just look for a solution to the embarrassing part ?



Regards

Hashim | 08.11.08 - 11:02 pm

debra terry,

This is the best plan for you to lose 10 plans and...

Diet sodas make you crave for other bad foods

Adrian Bryant | 07.29.08 - 8:25 am

T am 5ft 7 and weigh 150lb.I only want to lose about 10lbs but as i have been drinking about 5 cans of diet coke a day(and full fat ones on the weekend!!) i seem to be struggling on my normal diet to lose anything! Have worked out my calorie intake which is 1222 to 1598 a day.What set amount should i stick to? Another question,why does it say that diet sodas are so bad for you?

debra terry | 07.29.08 - 6:52 am

GinaB,

Complex carbs like oatmeal about 30min-to-1 hour before a workout is best and after a workout...

If you're trying to lose weight and I assume you are... It's best to have some protein preferably a protein shake and complex carbs esp. those high in fiber to kill your appetite and increase your post workout fat burning

Adrian Bryant | 07.24.08 - 9:49 pm

Adrian, I forgot to add to my last statements I just sent you, why am I so hungry after I exercise? And is protein the best thing to eat right after a workout? What about right before? I've heard to combine both carbs & protein right before a workout, is this true?

Gina B | 07.24.08 - 2:07 pm

morillo,

Learn about green tea here

Adrian Bryant | 07.22.08 - 10:25 am

whats green tea? can it be found in a super market, or do you havto order it?
im alergic to nuts and peanut.

morillo | 07.22.08 - 8:01 am

Man,

If weight loss is your goal - you can still Do this fast weight loss plan here and instead of whey or soy protein shakes for #2 - you can eat another 100 calorie protien source like raw nuts or cans of tuna and instead of weight loss pills - you can drink green tea for fat burner

Adrian Bryant | 07.21.08 - 9:38 pm

man | 07.21.08 - 4:51 pm

Nelly,

Are you still looking better or about the same as you gain weight? - if so , you have nothing to worry about but...

Can you tell me how many meals you eat a day (I think you said 4) and can you tell me how many total calories you're eating everyday and...

Tell me what your workout routine is and exactly what exercises you're doing.

And also Read #3, & #6-TO-9 again

Don't worry - We can both put our heads together and figure this out but like I said...

If you look good and people around you notice the difference - yu shouldn't worry

Adrian Bryant | 07.21.08 - 8:09 pm

Hi, Adrian. Im like getting really concerned now, like my weight is not decreasing, it keep gettin higher, what hell is going on? I mean is it my diet? figured it was muscle before but seem like that cant be it now.

Nelly | 07.21.08 - 3:11 pm

alessandra,

What position do you play in football and does your coach want you to lose 20 pounds?

Do this emergency diet and Do this workout plan here and... Here's a list of foods you need to eat to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 07.16.08 - 4:44 pm

PLEASE HELP ME. thanxs

alessandra | 07.15.08 - 7:37 pm

Nelly,

LOL... I don't mind if you Keep complaining to me as long as it helps you reach your weight loss goal

Adrian bryant | 07.13.08 - 11:54 pm

I wana loose the weight not maintain where i am at right now. Im give this few more months, and then Il get back to you if there is improvements or else Ill keep complaining....lol... thanks for your help

nelly | 07.13.08 - 8:35 pm

nelly,

Yes - be pateint but... You may already be closer to your goal of a better looking body than you think...

DO YOU LOOK 150 pounds? if no... then I wouldn't worry too much about what the scale says and just continue working out to maintain your lovely figure

Adrian bryant | 07.12.08 - 8:00 pm

My weight was 150 before and Im about 5 ft 7 inch tall and I gained 4 pds since working out to hit 154 now. I want to be at 135-140. And according to the BMI I'm not overweight. So thats why it is taking longer for me to shed the weight? So basically I should continue doing what I am and be patient? Should I also do some weight training aswell? And that link you sent for eating protein, was helpful thank you.

nelly | 07.11.08 - 3:46 pm

Nelly,

You said... "I feel I am losing some weight or looking better but it don’t show on the scale"

That's a sure sign you're firming up and gaining muscle - Read #9 of "10 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau" to see why you shouldn't worry and...

10-to-15 pounds is GOOD! no matter how long it took and...

You can replace meat with other protein sources like raw nuts -See other protein sources and weight loss foods and...

You don't have to take protein shakes but may be a good option ONLY IF you hard time getting enough protein in your weight loss diet and since i forgot to ask you how much you weigh...

Your slow weight loss could be because you're not overweight so doing this plan to lose your last 10 pounds may be better for you and also...

reading the "10 ways to quickly break out of a weight loss plateau" link I gave you may help you get on track losing weight again

Adrian Bryant | 07.11.08 - 1:18 pm

Hello, first of all thanks for replying back. Well I began the interval training program about a month ago since I heard that was the fast way to lose fat and burn calories fast. And I barely use to eat, or say enough. Now I have to force myself to eat at least 3-4 times a day. It’s hard for me to eat that many times, since I’m a vegetarian I run out of ideas what the heck to eat since eating salads, fruits, and vegetables gets lame. And I am a very picky on the stuff I eat; I hate tofu and stuff like that. My diet has become a little better now, since I make sure I eat on time and I stay away from junk food. However, I was bummed out seeing no results on the scale. I feel I am losing some weight or looking better but it don’t show on the scale. I do the workouts 3 days a week for about 45min or 1 hr is that enough? This really sucks, I never really had to lose weight before and my weight loss is only 10-15 pds. What can I eat to fulfill the loss of the meat that I don’t consume? And should I be taking some type of protein shake? Since I am vegetarian should I be watching carbs?

nelly | 07.11.08 - 12:19 am

nelly,

Yes - it could be muscle but more importantly - how much are you eating and how much where you eating before you started the interval workouts

Adrian bryant | 07.10.08 - 10:17 am

I been trying the interval training program. And im a veggie. im trying to loose 15 pds and instead i have been gaining. it that muscle or just fat? help what am i doing wrong..
