Boy with sone to lose

You'd be better off going to NowLoss.com/8

Adrian Bryant | 12.22.09 - 4:50 pm

Would you recommend this program for a 14 year old boy that is 5'4" and 167 pounds? I don't really look fat, just a bit chunky. The only exercise that I get right now is from my soccer ges and practices. So would that be lightly active on your activity thing?

deepak_lakum@yahoo.com | 12.19.09 - 1:52 am

Adrian, I just wanna say thanks... I have been following this plan on and off since August... I cheat now and then but my eating habits have become so much healthier with your advice AND I exercise about 3-5 times a week (only cardio, mostly hula hooping to Itunes playlists-- so much fun!).

I gained about 75 lbs in college (ugh) and now that I've graduated, I want to get healthy. I've lost 27 lbs, I still have a bit to go but its really really inspiring to see how much I've lost without completely dedicating too much time and effort... Imagine how much I'd lose if I was more "dedicated"!

I'm going to take some pictures just to see my progress in the coming months; I'm finally going to add intervals and some body sculpting exercises from your page into my routine.

So excited, wish me luck! If all goes well, I'll send those before/after pics!

Did you see the exercise and diet plan at NowLoss.com/50?

Look at how celebs lost weight after pregnancy also

Adrian Bryant | 12.16.09 - 10:06 am

Hi,
I am 3 weeks postpartum. I had a C section delivery. I was very active till the day I delivered. (I used to do 40 minutes on the eliptical trainer and do 20 minutes of strength training with free weights and machines.) However I gained 70 pounds during pregnancy.

Can you please tell me what I could do to shed of this excess weight. I have already lost 30lbs so far. I want a exercise and diet plan to lose the remainder of the weight.

Thanks a lot
Shanika

Jimi | 12.15.09 - 12:39 pm

Hi everyone,

I have been following this plan (and variations of it) since the beginning of May. It helped me get started and lose my first 30 lbs. The exercising 2x a day part really works well! I don't have time to do it now because of school but I am still working out once a day and following the other tips. As of today I have lost 49.4 lbs in less than 8 months! And I am sure it will be 50 soon! So I just wanted to let you all know that this plan works and that you don't need pills, fad diets, or surgery to lose weight. You can do this!!!

Thank you.

Try these home workouts instead

Adrian Bryant | 12.13.09 - 8:26 pm

Hiya! Gone through a few of your things and they look pretty good! Unfortunately I am unable to follow any certain diets coz of my mum and for some unknown reason I've put on loads of weight.. 10 kilos to be exact! Thats in less than 1-2 months! I eat a reasonable breakfast,very light lunches (Usually just a soup but I've stopped that even and if I'm hungry a cracker or two) and dinner USUALLY before 7 and in a small soup bowl with as little as possible! my workout is just before bed time,i.e; situps,jumping up and down (Sucky I know :P) and er.. Dunno how to describe but lieing on my side and lifting my leg. I'm 5'4 and 166lb which I've never ever been and am desperate to lose it!I haven't seen any weight loss despite all my attempts! Is this an age thing?

Adrian | 12.10.09 - 5:25 pm

Actvity does increases appetite but you do want to stay away from the bad foods.


potatoes are Okay (not great) but whenever your appeite atacks - kill it with foods from NowLoss.com/199 and also...

Look at how to decrease appetite here

Adrian Bryant | 12.09.09 - 5:50 pm

Hey, I'm 147 at 5'4''. I think that I'd like to be around 120. I was that before I became pregnant with my 4th baby who is turning 1 soon. I'm also getting ready to train for my first and last marathon. My biggest challenge is my appetite. I like healthy foods well enough, but I find when I'm running lots of mileage I get totally voracious and can't be satisfied until I eat something fatty and carbo-loaded, like a baked potato with the works. Any advice?

Yes

it's a lot more to read - why cant you scroll down?

Adrian Bryant | 12.06.09 - 8:59 pm

I love the site and I love the tips. One question is that when I put in my age, height and weight and it calculated the calories during each phase, I can't read past the "and..." Is their more to read?
Thanks

Dan | 12.06.09 - 6:30 pm

Emily

either way will work and I would stick with the ONE that you are going to stick with which I think for you is 3:30 & 7:30

Adrian Bryant | 12.02.09 - 12:49 pm

Hi Adrian,

I work from 9-3 everyday, and have been following your program as best as I can. I was wondering if it was as effective to work out twice in the afternoon...usually I work out around 3:30 and again at 7:30? I just have the hardest time getting up before 7 and I need the time to get ready for work. Do you have any suggestions? Or should I be forcing my butt up and working out before work? Thanks!

Adrian Bryant | 11.25.09 - 12:15 pm

I am 33yrs and gain alot of weight on top of the baby weight (257lbs). I am trying to lose weight correctly. Eating better and looking for an exercise routine, by the way, I have severe back problems, bad carpal tunnel and knee problems, of course the weight doesnt help. What is a good exercise program for me?

Emily from NJ | 11.25.09 - 12:02 pm

Angie

See how hard Iam working out to make up your own options but generally...

Anything you can do for more than 30 minutes non-stop is moderater and over 45min is low (like walking)

Adrian Bryant | 11.25.09 - 11:55 am

Hi Adrian,
Can you give me some examples of low-moderate intensity exercizes? I want to follow the 50 pound in 5-8 months plan and am trying to get my exercize options lined up...
thanks in advance.

Adrian Bryant | 11.25.09 - 11:53 am

Hi Adrian

I used to workout regularly and was able to lose 25 kgs in 4 months (from
June 2008 to Sept 2008 )and without any suppliments etc and continued my workouts at the gym till March 2009. But due to my studies I had to stop going to the gyms and I barely get time to exercise now...
As a result of which I gained 6 kgs of weight in these past 8 months
Please suggest me the correct diet that I should take and light workouts that I can do atlest in my home so that I can stop gaining weight if not decreasing it...
Thanks

Sunny | 11.24.09 - 12:36 am

Hi Adrian,

Thankx to your awesomely informative website and advice I have been able to loose 20 pounds in the last 3 months. Keep up the good work

Thank you

#1 - expect a minimun of 1-2 pounds a week and some weeks (but not many! = 0)

#2- NO excuses - Read this full page 2 times to get motivated

Adrian Bryant | 11.22.09 - 6:21 pm

Hello Adrian,

I just want to say thank you for the plan. It is great to be able to watch your videos and get a good break-down of what to do without paying extreme amounts of money. You are definitely a God Send to those who really need to make a healthier change in their lives. While other online providers are trying to gain profit from helping others lose weight, you are doing it from the heart and I just want to tell you that I appreciate you! I just printed out my How to lose 50 pounds in 5-8 month plan and I will try to start ASAP! I am a 33 years old female, 5'4, weighing 171 lbs. How much weight should I expect to lose a week with this plan if I stay consistent? Do you think I would see results if I exercised only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday's? These are the days and/or nights where I have the most availability to fit in exercise. My problem is that I work full time and I am in Grad School, so finding the time to exercise and eat is really hard for me, with the main problem being eating and drinking water. With my job, I travel throughout the day and I barely have time to eat and I attend grad school online at night, so by the time I am done reading and doing my assignments, I'm exhausted and I go to bed really late (about 2am every night). Everyday I am rushing...In the morning I am in full force trying my hardest to get to work at 8am? (Late everyday)!! (No Breakfast-about 1 1/2 or 2 meals a day!!!) I'm stuck in this routine and it is really hard to balance good habits in my lifestyle and I need motivation and help. What (motivating) advice would you give someone with a very busy schedule on how to stick with the plan and get results?

S.D. | 11.22.09 - 5:09 pm

2-3 glasses is fine and since you want to gain muscle...

Look at how to burn fat & build muscle here

Adrian Bryant | 11.22.09 - 6:19 pm

Hey Adrian
I workout everyday. Lat pole exercises (in front and behind my back), bench press, dumbbell curls, Crunches (bicycle, throw-downs) and side-planks and regular planks for about 50 seconds each. I'm also drinking about 2-3 glasses of fat-free milk everyday along with plenty of water. Is there a limit to how much milk I should be drinking?

Adrian Bryant | 11.22.09 - 6:17 pm

Hi Adrian

I workout about 3-5 times a week at the gym. I am doing 15 mins of cardio and then I workout with weights for my arms, legs and back. Before I leave the gym, I go into the steam room for 15 - 20 mins. I had gastric bypass and have loose skin, not alot but enough on my arms that it really bothers me. My legs have excess skin but I can see and feel the muscle forming. I want my arms and legs to reduce in size and I don't know what to do. I also need to lose another 50 lbs. Can you please advise?
Thanks!

KEEP TAKING ACTION!

that's my best advice and after you test and try out things by giving it all you got then you'll know if it works and then you cna ask me for more advice but listen...

Don't ask "if I can do 6mph" ask yourself - "how much weight can I lose if I really push myself for 10 minitues"

Don't be scared and yes...

you may or may not get tired but you know what...

If you give it your all - you will be losing weight fast and you probably won't need my help anymore and people will start coming to you for weight loss tips but...

stay in contact if you need me

Adrian Bryant | 09.28.09 - 9:00 am

I am 35 yrs old, 211pds, and 6'0. I have a total gym at home. I work out on it about three times a week, doing mainly squats, pullups, chinups. I also power/walk and jog, about 3 to 4 times a week.I have been consistent with this about 3 weeks. I start out on the treadmill warming up for 5 minutes at 3mph. Then I alternate between 3.4 and 5 mph, for about 45 minutes. I am wondering am I doing enough? For the last week I have been cleaning up my diet. No fast food, skinless chicken, lots of tuna fish. I only eat 1 piece of wheat bread a day.Aim at 5 small meals a day. My only vice is a small bowl of chocolate frozen yogurt after dinner. I am very interested in your treadmill workout, 10 seconds of running fast, followed by 5-7 seconds of rest. I wanted to start at 6mph, but I not really sure. Any suggestions on how fast to start on my treadmill? Any tips on my diet? Should I stick with my treadmill routine or is it time to ramp it up? I really need to lose 50 pds in a about 5 months. Any help you give me would be greatly appreciated.

You can still follow the program as is and I would still try to eat 3 bigger meals about 2-3 hours apart after 3pm

Adrian Bryant | 09.28.09 - 8:56 am

Hi Adrian, I want to follow your program and lose 50lbs. I am a 27 year old female, 5'4 and weigh 190lbs. My problem is that for the next couple of months I have to fast (religous purpose) everyday until 3pm. Therefor, the only intake I can consume is water until 3pm. After that I am free to eat freely. What can I do?

i also have the treadmill at home. how many steps do u think i should do a day? im a 20yr old girl weighing 150lb at a height of 5"2

kitu | 09.20.09 - 2:01 pm

Hi,

I just wanted to take the time to share my results with you all, because there are a lot of questions on this website, but few people talk about their results!

I came here a couple of weeks ago and I didn't know which weightloss program to choose! I wanted to lose weight very fast and I was upset at the idea of not having good and fast results!

I finally made up my mind and started the 50+ permanent weightloss program, because I estimated that I had 35 pounds to lose!

After 6 weeks, I can tell you that I lost a lot of weight by following Adrian's program... I can't tell how many pounds I lost, because I didn't weigh myself, but I realise, when I look in the mirror, that I am satisfied with what I see and have achieved until now!

I feel better in my own skin and I know for sure that it's all that matters now! All my new clothes are too big and I fit again in the clothes I couldn't wear anymore! I also have comments from the people around me! It's very rewarding!

I will continue the weightloss program, because it helped me to develop a healthier lifestyle and better eating habits!

I am so much happier now and it wasn't about loosing 35 pounds... I still have a lot to do to achieve that goal, but I feel safe to achieve it with time and a balanced lifestyle and no pressure in the process!

I ALREADY EARNED WHAT I WAS REALLY LOOKING FOR: WELL BEING! Everything next will be a reward and a bonus to me!

Thank you a lot Adrian for your generosity and your devotion in helping people to achieve this important process!

She is mostly wrong but I personally prefer a mirror to a scale.

Your scale may tell you one thing but the truth is always in the mirror

Adrian Bryant | 09.17.09 - 11:16 pm

i really want to get a scale but my friend is saying that a scale wouldn't work for me because im " thick boned" which makes no sense. She also says that if i were to lose 20 pounds i wouldn't really see a difference whereas a flabbier person would lose 20 pounds and they would see a difference. Then she went on to say that i would have to look in the mirror instead of having a scale to see results. So my questions are: is my friend right and would looking at the mirror every week be better than watching the numbers on the scale? Thank you for your help.

But I'm asian and their BMI is slightly different, we have different body style I suppose? I want to be thinner again to 110 pounts so I have 50 pounds to lose (exactly) so I'm greatful for the site. For the past few days I've been eating 800 cals... I want to lose 40 pounds in three months. Should I stick with 800 cals?

I think NowLoss.com/15 would be better for you and here are some vegan diet plans here

Green tea is a good fat burner which can be drink or in pill form

You can use shakes but shakes are only "supplements" you can use for a quick meal or when you don't have time to or don't feel like eating

Adrian Bryant | 09.11.09 - 6:55 am

i can get to the important information-im 5'5" and weigh around 160 lbs (estimated, i never weigh myself because i had put on muscle and I know that accounts for most of the weight) and I would like to weigh around 120-130 pounds. I would like to start off with a diet of 1200 calories a day and then settle with about 1500 so i dont put back on too much weight. Also, I am a vegetarian and only eat fish- I was hoping to substitue whey protien shakes into my diet, but I would like to know the best way to incorporate that into my diet. I have researched that building muscle is key to losing weight and I would like to use those shakes to help out with my goal.

also, ive seen on some recent plans u had that you suggested a fat burner, what would a good example of a burner be?

I'm 15, 170 pounds and I really want to get to 120. I actually look to be about 150 pounds, but I really need to get into shape.
I only eat 1500 calories a day, and I have been alot more active then i've been in the past two months. I have only lost 2 pounds. Am I doing something wrong?

All I can say is...

TAKE ACTION AND...

stay in touch whenever you need help and if you include exercise in your weight loss journey then you'll prevent sagging skin

Adrian Bryant | 09.07.09 - 7:22 am

Adrian,
I love your website. I found it abt a yr ago and I keep coming back although i keep putting off starting a weight loss regimen. Which I'm in a GREAT need for. I am at my highest weight of 335, I'm 5'4, I carry the majority of my weight from the waist up. In shirts I'm in a 32/34 and 22 in pants.My bmi says I shouldn't weigh more than 145. To me that # sounds little but for my height it may not be. I would like to be a 10/12. I wore that in 8th grade and I like seeing me at that size but me at size 12 in 8th grade may not look the same at 27/28. Also I'm afraid that since I am so huge if I did lose a lot of weight I'd have all this sagging skin.I am thinking of trying the program 2 lose 50lbs in 5-8 months. I also would like to get a bigger butt(get a butt is more like it lol. I want to have a 30 in waist. It would be nice to at least have an hourglass figure and most of all get healthy. LOL it would be nice to wear a halter top at least one day in my life.

it will not take you longer but it's better in MOST cases to eat raw

Adrian Bryant | 08.28.09 - 5:18 pm

I can not eat FRESH fruits or veggies.....cooked & canned are fine. I have an allregy to them when they are raw will it take me a longer time to lose weight?

NBryant118@aol.com | 08.27.09 - 10:22 pm

Thanks for all your feedback. I will dial back my food just a little bit. I really like your fast weight loss workout #1. My body won't know what's coming with that one.

Also- I like your intervals better than what I have been doing. Here is what I've been doing:

0-5 min 3mph
5-10 min 5.5
10-11 min 6.0
11-12 min 5.5
12-13 min 6.5
13-14 min 5.5
14-15 min 7.0
15-16 min 5.5
16-17 min 7.5
17-18 min 5.5
18-20 min 5.0
20-25 min 10.0-11.0 for 30 sec on and 30 sec off
25-30 min 3.0

Again thanks for all the advice. j

2 questions.

How many total calories do you eat?

Do you look better? I think you do and as a matter of fact you may already look like you weigh 130 if you lost fat and gained muscle so

If you do look better - Don't worry about the DAMN scale - remember it's all about looking better and remember...

You can also be a skinny fat person

Now in your case - you can obivously lay off the weight training and just focus on intervals (see NowLoss.com/i or NowLoss.com/1010) -

I think at your stage - cardio or ssteady state won't do too much for you because you are advanced

Adrian Bryant | 08.27.09 - 8:23 am

I have scanned your entire website. I Love it!

I am 5'5". 157lbs. I want to be 130lbs.
I currently do intervals MWF (30 mins), steady state TTHS (35 mins). Weight train upper on Tues. lower on Thurs.
My food is as follows:
Meal 1
1/2 banana
1/2 c oats
Meal 2
apple
1/2 c low fat cottage cheese
Meal 3
2 slices whole wheat bread
6 slices deli ham
1 c grapes
Meal 4
1.5 c celery
2 T Peanut Butter
Meal 5
3 oz chicken
3/4 c brown rice
1 c asparagus

I CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT. In fact, I am up 13lbs since this time last year (p.s. my BF is lower, I have gained muscle). I would like to decrease my entire body size.

I have been doing the workout program for 5 weeks and the food program for 3. I have always ate these similar foods (at least 2 years), just being VERY cautious of portions at this time.
I have even stumped my trainer. All my medical stuff is fine, had that checked (ie. thyroid).

Any Ideas?????

jessica | 08.26.09 - 10:55 pm

Ann

WHich one of my workouts are you talking about exactly?

Adrian | 08.26.09 - 6:50 pm

When you state to rest between sets (heavy) do you mean literally or can on do cardio or abs work in-between. 

Ann | 08.26.09 - 11:15 am

Just lose overall body fat to lose belly fat

Hi I'm 17 years old and 5'6 approx with 166 lbs. im not overweight but i want to lose my belly fat so what should i do?

thanks

Beth

Yes - doing tae-bo twice a day is fine

Adrian Bryant | 08.24.09 - 7:22 am

I was wondering on the workouts can you do Taebo more than once a day for 30-45 minutes. Also are step workouts a good high intensity workout? If I do these along with your workout for 30-45 minutes a day and throw in a second workout in the evenings a few times a week would this be okay? I currently weigh 205# and have lost 30# over the past year. I am cleaning up my diet following your info on 5-6 small meals per day with protein and carbs and hope to lose weight more quickly but safely. Thanks for all of your helpful info.

Believe it or not I think you're doing just fine!

Forget about the scale for a minute - YOU ARE looking better naked already!

Your clothes are fitting better which is a GOOD sign you are gaining sexy muscle and losing ugly fat.

THe best help i can give you is to follow the 8 rules at NowLoss.com/8 for your diet

Adrian Bryant | 08.22.09 - 8:13 pm

I am new to your site; however, I am happy with what I see so far and am in great anticipation of my future success.  I started one of your programs Monday to build strength and lose weight.  I am a 43 year old female that currently weights 192.lbs that is down from 198lbs in that last three months.  It has been a slow process, the first months I was in a boot came and dropped my BMI 3 points, and weight just 3lbs.  I went about 4x for 4 weeks.  I am fitting my clothes better but the scale is not moving.  The truth is I prefer weightlifting more then I do cardio I make it to the gym 3 days for lifting however sometimes miss my cardio days. I get board with running and walking on the tread mill not going anywhere.  I do not like vegetables and just tolerate fruit.  Between the coach and me at the camp I am now drinking a whey protein drink every morning with greens in it to get in my veggies.  Included in this shake most of the time is some type of fruit usually frozen berries.  I do try to have a banana and/or apple at lease once a day.  I definitely do not drink enough water she told me so I am trying to do better, it is not that I am drinking soft drinks I am just not drinking.   I have cut back on my food intake and after reading your information I am trying to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day; however I do not count calories because it is too madding most programs do not have what I am eating and or takes so long to key everything in.  I kind of eye everything and its portions.  Despite this I really do want to lose weight and “look good naked” can you help me?  NOTE: Your cardio program that I am trying to do is (Squat jumps wi/15lb weights 15 jumps, Squat jumps w/no weights 15 jumps, push ups, crawl on hand and drag feet on towel 100 yards, jumping jacks 100, ski jumps 100)

It's nothing good or bad for you to worry about since at your height and weight - you don't need to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 08.20.09 - 6:27 am

Hi Adrian, I'm 13 years old and I'm 5'8 and weigh 135 pounds. I don't have time to eat 5 meals a day, because I'm always outside playing with my friends. I only have time for 1-2 meals a day. So is that a bad thing or a good thing?

Chris | 08.19.09 - 11:04 pm

Heather

As long as you are trying to stay as active as possible without overdoing it - then your weight loss plan will be effective

Adrian Bryant | 08.19.09 - 10:40 am

Hi Adrian,

I try to make time for more than one workout session per day. On MWF, I'll do high intensity cardio via elliptical or spinning for 1-1.5 hours and then I'll do another shorter 15-20min high intensity circuit training in the late afternoon.

Some days if I'm too sore from a previous day's workout or have a limited amount of time, I'll do extremely short 10-min high intensity intervals (like a circuit training w/ cardio routine) 3-5 times throughout the day. Is this still an effective way to get the same amount of exercise that I usually do on MWFs?

Heather | 08.18.09 - 10:56 pm

Look at these tips to speed up weight loss

Adrian Bryant | 08.19.09 - 10:39 am

I have recently lost 45 pounds. It has taken quite a while- from dec 08 to june 09.. I lost 42 lbs. From June to Aug I lost only 3 lbs!! I have hit a plateau. I went from 3 days a week to now 5 days week working out. I was doing protein shakes for bkfast & dinner. Eating lunch and morning & afternoon light meal/snack. Now I am trying to eat more small meals throughout the day. I am not sure what I am doing right/wrong. Still not much weight loss. I originally weighed 275 (female, 38yrs old). I have a long way to go for my goal,any suggestions?

Melissa | 08.18.09 - 10:33 pm

Mark.

Percentages is really something you don't have to worry about unless you get stuck but generally...

Keep you fats no more than 20%

Protein 25-40% and carbs 30-60%

Adrian Bryant | 08.19.09 - 10:38 am

With that, I have 52% Carbs. What can I do to make this work?

Mark. | 08.18.09 - 6:57 pm

Mark.

If you can...

Make it 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fat

Adrian | 08.18.09 - 5:32 pm

My calorie totals came out to:

1570 Calories.

28% Fat
53% Carbs
19% Protein

Is this ok for Fat Loss?

It is mostly Milk, Whole Wheat Breads, Turkey, etc.

Mark. | 08.18.09 - 3:08 pm

You can do the NowLoss.com/50 plan and lose 50 pounds in 5+ months but dont expect to lose 50 pounds in ONE month

maar | 08.18.09 - 2:53 pm

Mark.

Just avoid these bad foods and dont worry too much about anything else concerning sugar content

Adrian Bryant | 08.14.09 - 11:43 am

Ok. One more thing. What should my limit on sugar be?

I drink 35 grams of sugar from Milk although that is the good kind.

A little confused.

See how to lose weight and get a butt at same time

Im 22 and I am trying to tone up and loose weight. I am currently 189 lbs and my goal is 135 lbs. There's 1 thing though I want my butt back. please help me get that back as well as get this weight down. I know I can do it I just need help, so PLEASE be my help.

Sexi Mrs. | 08.13.09 - 7:57 pm

Mark.

Not really but one of the things you can do if you're not happy with your weight loss results is to lower your carbs to no lower than 30-to-40% or increase them no higher than 60-65% and...

Almonds are a good high protein low carb snack

Adrian Bryant | 08.13.09 - 1:47 am

Hey, I have a question about Carbs. Is 55% percent of my calorie intake bad? I eat 1570 calories.

Another thing, what is a healthy snack that is low fat and doesnt have much carbs?

Mark. | 08.12.09 - 4:42 pm

Jenny

You know how to lose weight the only thing you need to focus on is...

"what can I do to not sabotage myself and gain all this weight back?"

Think back to when you were 115 and remember what you did to stay there and also think about what you did to gain 50 pounds.

Once you get back to 115 - go here to see how much you can eat to maintain your weight but basically...

After you get to 115 - you can easily maintain your weight by following the 8 rules at NowLoss.com/8

Adrian Bryant | 08.12.09 - 7:17 am

Hey im 17 years old and im 5'3. i've gained over more than 50 pounds in 5 months and have been working out everyday now for about 3 months, ive lost almost 30 pounds. i weighed 171 3-4 months ago, now i am 143 but 10 months ago i weighed 115 pounds, and it is so hard to lose weight. working out everyday, i wanna lose weight fast, since i pretty much do the tredmeal 30-20 sometimes 40 minutes everyday.. now i wanna lose bout 40 pounds, but i dont know how to lose the weight fast in 3 to 4 months and keep it off.

#1 - you should eat 113 grams of protein and..

#2 - it all does not have to come from shakes - go to NowLoss.com/199 for other protein sources

Adrian | 08.10.09 - 8:40 pm

Hi,

Its calculated i should eat 113g protein a day but it just seems to much? The protein shake ive got has 17g protein per scoop and 96 cals. How many should I have?

Thanx

You need to go here to lose weight again

Adrian Bryant | 08.09.09 - 9:16 pm

I am 29, 5'3 and trying to get from 198 to 125. I've already lost 30lbs in 3 months!! But now, the weight is not coming off as fast.

If I am eating 1100 cal. a day and burning 400 cal. a day exercising, should I eat an extra 400 cal to make up for what I burned or is it ok to end up with the 700 cal. of food a day?

Abby W. | 08.09.09 - 7:49 pm

Lisa

If you're trying to lose weight then you need to replace those weight lifting days with cardio/interval days.

Weight training alone does very little for weight loss but if you want to tone as you lose weight...

Do one of these circuit training workouts here listed under "Circuit training routines for total body toning"

Adrian Bryant | 08.09.09 - 9:16 pm

I'm 30 and trying to go from 170 to 130. If I'm doing cardio three days a week, (MWF) then when should I do weight lifting? What days, how often, and, how many lbs, and how many reps?
thank you.

Hi, I'm 20 years old, 160lbs & 5' 2"
I have a 2 1/2 month old son, so I figured some of that weight is water weight. I plan on going back to my tiny weight of 120, I have really muscular legs. I haven't been too active since I had a c-section. Any tips for my situation, especially to strengthen my lower abs & promote faster healing of those muscles and to strengthen my back since my recover has been longer than most women?
Also, any tips to slim my calves down? They're really muscular & thick, I don't really want to lose those muscles, just elongate them.
Thanks Much!

Hi! I am 5'4 and 220 pounds. Now most people say I do not look like I way that much but when I look at myself in the mirror, I can see it. I want to lose 100 pounds in 10 months because I want to try out for my university's pageant.

The main thing I have a problem with is staying motivated during this long problem. How can I? Especially when I do not see results right off the back? Do you have any advice?

Andrea | 08.03.09 - 10:11 pm

Nina

both are right

the 5-to-8 months = 50 pounds

the 30-to-45 days = 10 pounds every 30+ days

Adrian | 08.03.09 - 3:33 pm

Hi.. At the top of your page it says 5 to 8 months but when i filled out the form it said 30 to 45 days.. which is right?
i'm 196 now is it really possible to weight 146 in 45 days?
im built really muscular and want to know how to tell how much weight it muscle and how much is fat.

It sounds like you are satisfied or built all the muscle you want so to get ripped and cut off all the fat hiding your muscle...

Add more or focus more on doing intervals 3-4 times a week and light cardio on off days to burn off fat.

Look at this workout plan here for guidance

To get down to 10% - just keep losing fat/weight (basically keep doing what you been doing) and stay in touch for more help anytime you need it

Hi Adrian i lost 28 lbs in 4 months by following your program. (THANK YOU!!)I am now down to 147 and 5'6". my body fat is about 19% based on a scale. how do i decrease my body fat to about 10%?

You will burn a LOT of calories doing that but you'll burn yourself out doing it 5 times a week right out of the gate so start off with 3-to-4 times a week and do light cardio on the other days

go here when you hit a plateau

Adrian Bryant | 07.28.09 - 9:05 pm

Hi i am 5 ft 4 currently 205 lbs and i want to get down to 145 by March 2010. How many calories would i burn each day if i do intervals on the treadmill-1 min walk 45 sec run for 20 min in the morning and your Fast weight loss workout #1 in the evenings Monday thru Friday? Also would i be able to do this for the whole 7 months or would i hit a plateau? What should i change each month? Sorry for all of the long questions. haha Thank you!

Here's the diet plan you talked about and...

what about veggies? - I prefer you eat raw fruits and/or veggies but the smoothie may work

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 9:59 am

Hello Adrian,

Do you have anymore diet plans that I can use that doesn't involve counting calories? I remember a fruit/veggie and protein drink before every meal plan but, I can't find that one.

I did that plan for two weeks once and my hair grew like crazy and I was very energized. I believe I lost some weight too, but I didn't keep track of that.

Also, I can't afford a bunch of fruits at the moment so do you think Bolthouse Green Smoothie drink and my protein before each meal can be a good subsuitute until I can afford it?

Go here to learn more about vlcd or under 1200 calories

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 7:56 pm

Im a little confused here.

People always say that me eating 1350 calories isnt good because I wont really burn fat because my body will starve and stuff and hold onto the fat.

What is your take and what can I do to make eating 1350 calories work?

Steven | 07.13.09 - 11:00 am

Steven

You're doing okay and although you do want to limit sugar - 44 grams of sugar PER DAY shouldn't hurt your weight loss efforts too much

Adrian Bryant | 07.13.09 - 9:57 am

Im eating 1620 calories. My Maintenance level is 2203 so my deficit is 583.

Im worried about the 44 grams of sugar and the saturated fat more than anything.

Not sure what to do.

Steven | 07.12.09 - 9:23 am

Steven

The milk is fine.

How many total calories are you supposed to eat in each meal or for the whole day?

If you are going over your recommenend amount of calories per meal by drinking 2 glasses of milk then you need to cut back

Adrian Bryant | 07.11.09 - 10:05 am

I have run into a problem with my diet.

I recently realized that I am consuming this when drinking 2 Glasses of Milk:

540 Calories, 180 from Fat, 44 grams of Protein, 44 grams of Sugar, no sure how much Carbs.

However, I find the Milk useful in getting in my calories for the day.

What should I do so the Milk wont affect my weight loss?

I want to continue drinking it. Please help.

No need to be confused!

You're losing weight so You have nothing to worry about.

If you're losing weight just fine with 1600+ calories - stick with that and at your weight...

you would lose weight eating 2000+ calories a day also but just remember this...

As you lose weight - you'll have to eat less or exercise more intensly to keep losing weight but dont worry about that right now and...

Just keep riding the weight loss wave you are on right now and if you run into trouble (which we all do) - I'll be here to help you and answer and questions you have

Adrian Bryant | 07.08.09 - 3:20 pm

I am 5'3 and 346lbs. I have recently lost 31 pounds in the last 2 1/2 months. I'm at the gym 4-5 nights week and I'm doing cardio and strength training. I'm concerned about calorie intake. On an average I'm consuming 1600-2000 cal per day bu every website says I should be consuming 2000-2400 a day. I'm so confused

Nichole | 07.08.09 - 10:48 am

How much weight did you lose exactly when you stopped working out?

What kind of workouts were you doing?

Adrian Bryant | 07.08.09 - 3:16 pm

I was working out every week and eating right. I was at a stand still for months. When I stopped working out. I then started to lose weight. Could you explain this situation?

Stick with the NowLoss.com/50 plan

For protein sources - see NowLoss.com/199

THe Wii Fit is great!

Adrian Bryant | 07.08.09 - 3:14 pm

I am so fascinated by this site and am starting to follow the advice it gives me, but I am getting so confused!
I currently weight 236lbs at about 5'6".
I would like to lose 50lbs by March, and ultimately about 100lbs.
Is it okay to start off the weight loss by using the lose 20 in 3-4 weeks, and then switching to the lose 50 in 5-8 months?
The difficulty I have with losing weight are all of the numbers! I was looking to eat more protein (the calculator said 32g each meal) but it boggles my mind! What can I eat every meal to get to 32g of protein?
I have a job where I have to move a lot, but otherwise I have never really exercised. I recently purchased the WiiFit and plan to use it 30 minutes everyday, will this be good to lose weight? I also want to walk my dogs more often and swim (during the summer).
I also feel that I never really ate "poorly." But I plan to completely eliminate fast food/soda/sweets from my diet... I think my biggest problem is with eating out, so I will also stop doing that. This should help, right?

Thanks, I know I put a lot of information out there, but I really do need help. I can't really afford a Gym membership or trainers or anything... I kind of feel alone figuring it all out. But I am motivated and see myself doing whatever it takes to finally get the weight off.

danie | 07.07.09 - 2:17 pm

lakeisha

For your weight and activity level that is an okay amount for you to lose weight and bear in mind...

That is just an estimate (a good estimate) but not 100% exact so...

If you're not losing at least 1-to-3 pounds a week then chop off about 100-to-250 calories and don't focus on anything from my lose 20 in 3 weeks plan.

Just stick to this plan and lose weight permanently FOREVER! and...

Your workout plan is GREAT as long as you can stand it but if it gets to be too much for you - I would limit tae-bo to 3-4 times a week

keep up the EASY work! and stay in touch if you need more help

Adrian Bryant | 07.04.09 - 2:11 pm

When I put my weight of 268 pounds and height of 5'8 into your how to lose 50 pounds in 5-8 months calculator it said that I should start out eating 1779-2372 calories a day. Isn't that a lot of calories for me to be eating? I mean I thought to lose weight I had to lessen the calories. Also if this is the calories I'm suppose to eat can I use the tricks from your how to lose 20 pounds diet, such as eating a raw veg and/or fruit with a protein shake before a meal and then eating a meal up to 300 calories? Also is doing 30 mins - 1 hour of Taebo and 2 miles of walking 5 days a week too much of a workout?

lakeisha | 07.02.09 - 10:20 am

Your diet is good but I hope you are exercising or staying very active as well

Adrian Bryant | 07.04.09 - 2:08 pm

Hey, my diet is going good. I was just wondering if you could tell me how it is so I know Im on the right track here.

Breakfast
2 Whole Wheat Bagesl
1 Glass of Milk

Snack
Low Fat BBQ Chips

Lunch
Turkey Sandwich
Protein Shake

Snack
Unsalted Nuts

Dinner
Changes but I only eat small portions of the healthy stuff.

It's okay and if you say you're not hungry or getting cravings with 1300 calories at yoru weight & height then go for it but in your case...

I would add a cheat day ONCE every 7-to-10 days to prevent your body from getting used to a low calorie diet

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.09 - 10:13 pm

Sup man like the website, I'm pretty motivated by all the tips and help here. I have a couple of questions on a diet im making. First of all, I'm 5'8 240 Pounds or so, so I should be eating 2000+ a day. I made a little eat 5 times a day diet plan, I tried it today and it seem to fit me, I don't get hungry often and im satisfied. What I'm eating a day is approximately 1300 calories a day, if you would please take a look at my plan, i made a schedule in paint, so i could print it out and put it in my fridge http://i261.photobucket.com/albu...4613/plan- 1.jpg Will this help me lose weight? Should I be eating more than 1300? I really don't mind if I do, but I honestly feel real satisfied with this plan, but its your word that will tell me if im ok with my current plan. Note I am also doing your lose weight at home exercise. So is my plan ok?

#1 - being 60 is not an excuse to go for your goals - so go for it and look great naked

#2 - go here to increase metabolism

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.09 - 10:10 pm

I am 60 years old and want to find my waist again. I found your site and am pleased with all your great home exercise videos. I also like how the site fills in/plans the number of calories one should eat for each 10 pounds of weight loss. I have time this summer to do something about my shape and I am motivated to get moving. I did have a set back because of a pain in the muscle in between my hip and leg. But now I feel recovered and think I can start some of your home suggestions. I was wondering, though, if you have any kind of advice for "older" people who worry about their lack of flexibility? Also, anything special I should do to increase my metabolism without causing a heart attack? Thank you for such a great free web site!

please contact again if this does not help

look at how to count calories also

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.09 - 10:08 pm

Hi Adrian,

Am a bit lost with my calorie counting..is it ok to eat foods that a higher in calories yet fat from calorie is lower or low in calories but fat content is higher e.g Calories in a Diet coke is only 1 as opposed to Coconut water which is 48.

erenata@hotmail.com | 06.29.09 - 1:58 pm

~Melissa~

Any protein shake is fine - I personally use Optimum nutrition's whey protein.

Don't worry about how many or when you should drink a shake - just stick with how many total calories you need to lose weight and use shakes to help you get all the calories you need to lose weight

everything that I used to sell is on NowLoss.com and...

KEEP IT THE GOOD WORK - 10 pounds in 2 weeks is awesome!!!!

Adrian Bryant | 06.29.09 - 10:05 pm

Adrian,
Just wanted to Thank You for the interval advice I have jump started my Metabolism by walking at 3 for 2 minutes then running at 7 for one minute in the beginning I could only do this for 20 minutes I have in 2 weeks time worked up to 45 minutes! I lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, I'm so excited Thank You!
Also your inner thigh, shoulder, arms, love handles and butt exercises are awesome I can see and feel a difference in just 2 weeks!
I am going to get a good protein shake mix is there any that you highly recommend? How many should I drink in a days time and is it best to drink them before or after my weight workouts? Should I drink them when doing intervals as well?

Do you have complete workouts on dvd available for purchase?

Thanks Adrian You Rock!

dancing and walking will help you tone and lose

Adrian Bryant | 06.26.09 - 8:25 am

and if you hardly do extreme fitness..and just walking ro dancing is your thing...WOuld that still help tonee and loose?

It will have a greater afterburn effect as explained here in #1

I am afraid my weight is gonnq take over me! I am about to be 21 next month, 5'7 and weigh 225 lbs. I started walking for exercise about 2 weeks ago but still haven't seen a difference in my body and I'm not sure if walking will be enough. I am a female but I carry most of my body weight up top so I have a big tummy, wide back, and broad shoulders. I want to lose fat and tone up all over but not sure of what to do to actually lose this stubborn fat and make my whole body porportionate! I'm afraid that if I don't do something now, I'll end of like my grandmother with diabetes and high blood pressure, and i'm far too young for that!

Ash | 06.16.09 - 9:07 pm

Cherri

have you seen the other protein sources here at Nowloss.com/199

Lots of foods are high in protein like a can of tuna has about 20-to-30 grams of protein in it and yes...

shakes can & should be used if you dont have time to make meals

Adrian Bryant | 06.16.09 - 8:17 pm

I'm all ready to start your program, it sounds great! My question is... I'm suppose to eat 31grams of protein in each of my meals. I was trying to figure out a way I can do this without buying protein shakes or bars. But an egg only has 6grams! I don't feel like eating 5 eggs for breakfast, and anyway, that would put me over my 300-400 cal meals. Even turkey bacon has only like 3grams.
When you created this plan, was buying protein shakes, powers, and bars part of it?

How many total calories are you eating and what kinds of foods are you eating and what exercise were you doing for 45 mintues and how intense was it?

Adrian Bryant | 06.14.09 - 7:44 am

Hello,

The problem I am having is that I have cut calories drastically (500+ calories a day), have been exercising at least 45 minutes daily, and have stopped taking my birth control because I am suspicious that it caused some weight gain, and I still haven't lost weight, I started this a month ago.

I am 19, 5'7'' and weigh about 180 lbs. I also have some pretty nasty problems with my knees (they are structurally inept, and have a tendency to twist and become swollen and extremely painful when worked too hard) that make a lot of exercises difficult to impossible such as jogging.

I have a doctor's appointment to make sure I don't have a medical problem that's effecting my weight loss, but assuming that is not the case, do you have any tips to help me along?

Thank you,
Marissa

Losing 30 pounds wont be a problem but after you lose 20 pounds - the last 10 is going to take longer to lose so expect at least the next 15 to come off faster but the last 10-15 will take longer

Adrian Bryant | 06.09.09 - 8:35 pm

I just started to workout for about 5 weeks now and i lose about 18 pounds, i know most of it is water weight and i want to go from 190 to 160 in about 3-4 months, i eat a 1200-1300 calorie diet and im 5ft 11, i excercise about 3 hours 6 days a week, 1 and a half hour cardio and 45 to 60 min weight training.

Verdandi,

Make sure you also eat the right amount of calroies to lose weight but...

You should expect to lose up to 10 pounds a month but also...

Because of your weight and height - you might end up losing your first 20-to-30 pounds very fast and after you lose weight...

The only way you'll gain any weight back is if you eat too much while being inactive

Adrian Bryant | 06.05.09 - 3:19 pm

I weight around 270 pounds 5 feet 4 inches and im 16 so im going to try to lose as much weight as possible over the summer by following the weight loss plan eating. How i planned it out since its summer and im going to have a ton of free time working doing 45 minutes of tao bo in the morning with 30 mins of pilates/stretching then in the after noon doing 10 mins of cardio with 20 minutes of yoga or pilates then in the even doing 30 minutes of cardio like dace cardio or swimming with 20 minutes of deep stretching mondays wednesdays and fridays. then tuesdays and thursdays doing 20 minutes of jump rope in the morning with 20 minutes of yoga in the afternoon relaxing then in the evening doing your fat loss workout 2 with 10- 20 minutes of jump rope and 20 minutes of stretching
On saturdays and sundays just doing 30-45 minutes of dance cardio and 20 minutes of yoga

Im going to try to keep it as healthy and nutrious as possible eating lots of protein and vegetables but cutting back on breads. so like in the morning having an egg white omlets with broccoli and onions. big salad for lunch and maybe steamed vegetables with pasta or brown rice for dinner. then for snacks protein shakes,low fat yogurt, raw fruits and vegetables.

How much weight could i lose in 2-3 months by doing this?

Then when i go back to school in late august and cut my exercise back to like 45 mintues of cardio a day will i gain weight back from lack of exercise?

YEs , you should be able to lose at least 10 pounds over the next 5 weeks and continue to lose more after that to reach your long term goal

Adrian Bryant | 06.04.09 - 2:52 pm

Adrian,

I am 5'5 160lbs, and I am trying to lose 20 pounds in 5 weeks for my vacation. Your 50lb weight loss calculator says I should start out eating 1087-1449 calories a day and 217-289 calories for each of the 5 meals. I tried the emergency weight loss plan last week (20lbs in 3-4 weeks) but felt like I was eating too much; I would eat 300 calorie meals after having the whey shakes and fruits/veggies and felt satisfied but not overly full. I didn't want to continue with that plan and not make any progress towards my 5 week goal. Plus I want to contiue losing weight after my vacation with a final goal of 125 lbs, so I do have long term goals. Do you think the 50lb weight loss plan will be a good program for me to lose 20 pounds or close to it in the next 5 weeks by eating 1200-1300 calories a day, following the exercise plan and all of the extra weight loss tips on your website? Thanks!

You are not losing weight too fast and for various reasons...

People usually lose 10+ pounds within a week of first starting thier weight loss plans and eventually...

Your weight loss or fat loss will slow down to about 1-to-3 pounds a week which is still very good and...

Go to NowLoss.com/199 for other types of proteins you can eat

It sounds like you're asking me for an easier workout program to start off with so you need to do this EZ free weight loss program here along with the diet at NowLoss.com/50

Ahmad abdel-hadi | 05.30.09 - 7:09 pm

Joan,

Not neccesarily - you may sweat more and lose more water weight in the summer and actually...

You may burn more calories at lower colder temps due to your body having to work harder to keep you warm

Adrian Bryant | 05.29.09 - 10:38 am

Is it true that people burn more calories in the summer due to high tempetures?

Joan | 05.28.09 - 7:20 pm

gaby,

Your problem is motivation so go here to get motivated to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.28.09 - 2:10 pm

i want to loose weight seens i was 18 but i never do im always aquiter and i dont get to my goal .

gaby | 05.27.09 - 7:38 pm

Alex: The point isn't to "satisfy your hunger." The point is to not get hungry. Small meals work. I've lost 45 pounds using this strategy and I have done no exercise whatsoever. For me, I think it was not so much speeding up my metabolism as it was preventing hunger. Anyway, don't judge it until you try it. Small meals can equal the same number of calories as 3 big meals if you make sure the calories of each small meal are appropriate. That's just very simple, basic math.

If you follow the NowLoss.com/50 plan directly - you will already be working out twice a day

Adrian Bryant | 05.26.09 - 10:31 pm

Hi, I just have a question about exercise in the "How to lose 50 pounds section." I was curious if it was better to follow the exercise plan directly or workout twice a day (morning and night) as suggested in your "Weight Loss Plateau" section as done by models, celebrities, etc.
Thanks!

Kara | 05.25.09 - 11:44 pm

Alex,

You are not eating more CALORIES when eating MORE meals - you are eating 5 smaller meals so if you have to eat 2500 calories a day to lose weight then you would eat 5 SMALLER 500 cal. meals instead of 3 bigger 800+ cal. meals and...

If you took 2 people - let's say person A and Person B for example and...

person a ate 5 smaller meals and person b ate 3 bigger meals then both A & B would lose weight but actually...

Person a would lose more weight because of the increased metabolism because...

1. they would be less hungry
2. your body burns calories when digesting food so eating more mini meals = more fat burning
3. less hunger
4. better regualtion of insulin - the fat storing hormone because big meals means there's a greater chance of insulsin being relased and storing any extra caloreis as fat


Person b would also lose weight but have a harder time since they would be hungier, have less energy, have more up & down energy crashes due to bigger meals but...

Do what works for you - I just belive and from my own experience that 5 or even 7 mini meals a day is way better than 3 big meals

Adrian Bryant | 05.25.09 - 1:22 pm

I don't agree with the idea of eating five small meals a day. Personally I don't get hungry every 2-3 hours, so eating every 2-3 hours would mean that I was eating just to eat and not to fulfill my hunger, which would mean extra pounds for nothing. I understand that it may rev up your metabolism slightly by eating many small meals, but I think it's just adding more calories. Even if you do rev up your metabolism a little it won't burn the extra calories you're eating. I think it's better to just eat less throughout the day, not add more meals. Eating three meals a day is ok I think if you just decrease how much you're eating at each meal. It doesn't make sense to eat more when you're trying to lose weight.

Alex | 05.25.09 - 3:54 am

Keisha

Carbs are fine as long as they are complex carbs (See NowLoss.com/199)

You really want to avoid the bad foods here since they are easily stored as fat in your body even if you are eating less cals

Adrian Bryant | 05.22.09 - 10:02 pm

Im 5'5"..Right now I try to eat 5 to 6 times a day..smaller meals. But I have a really hectic life so I just dont always eat the best..but I never eat "alot" even if its not the heatliest of things. I do eat alot of carbs because I run..on average 10-15 miles a week.

Keisha | 05.22.09 - 11:14 am

Keisha

How tall are you and what kind of diet are you doing now?

Adrian Bryant | 05.21.09 - 8:15 pm

Hello...I NEED HELP Im stuck at between 150 and 155lbs..Im 31 with 3 kids and very active. Im training for a Marathon but I just feel to heavy. My ideal weight is a lean 125-130. I think my diet is what is holding me back.Do you have any suggestions??

Keisha | 05.21.09 - 9:37 am

Vanessa,

You can but it's better to use them before workouts because the caffeine in green tea and the green te itself helps burn more fat during exercise

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 11:51 am

No. I plan as starting to work out as soon as the doctor approves it, although I may have to start off easy (like 2mph on a treadmill). The doctor said that I can be as aggressive as my body allows but at least not for 2 weeks (when my follow up appointment is).

Also I got some green tea fat burner
(http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Nutrition-Green- Burner-Softgels/dp/B000VPRJ2G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8& s=hpc&qid=1242573488&sr=8-2).

I chose these because the reviews said it didnt make you feel jittery, which I hate. Do you recommend waiting until I can hit the gym or starting them now?

Vanessa | 05.17.09 - 11:25 am

Vanessa,

Yes - stick to the couch potato calorie range but...

Do you have access to arm bikes like this to stay active

Adrian Bryant | 05.17.09 - 10:43 am

Hi Adrian,

First I would like to thank you for such a wonderful site. I appreciate all the effort you have put into this.

I am 29, weigh 190, and am 5'6. I was recently attempting a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail when I pulled my groin and was forced off the trail (and on to the couch and crutches) for at least 3 weeks. I hiked 275 miles in 5 weeks and lost 20 lbs. We were walking 8-9 hours a day and doing approx 12-15 miles a day (those are tough miles as it is all hills). We were eating approx. 2500-3000 calories a day on the hike, but obviously burning a lot more than that.

Anyway, since I am couch bound until the doctors approval I have reduced my calories down to 1500 (as recommended to by your lose 50 for my weight for a couch potato, my range was 1200-1600). Once I can walk again I want to start your lose 50 in 5 months to surprise my boyfriend, who is continuing the hike and wont be back until late September or early October, and take advantage of the shape I got in from the hike.

Since I am couch bound for 3 weeks but super active right before that, what calorie or rather activity range to I put. Active or couch potato?

Also, will 1500 be ok for the next 2 weeks to lose maybe a little weight while I cant move?

I have done tons of starvation diets, sometimes eating 500 cals a month and losing 20 lbs a month but it leads to binging for weeks at a time and I gain the weight back. I do see the folly in my ways.

I am motivated to follow your plan for 50 in 5 months and plan on working out Monday thru Sat.

Thanks.

Vanessa | 05.17.09 - 8:35 am

Donna,

As long as you're not going over the amount calories needed to lose weight (1500) and as long as you eat at least 5 meals then you're doing fine.

The key is to eat as many small meals as you can to keep your metabolism burning fat so as long you are eating 5+ SMALL meals -you're doing fine so to answer your question again...

If you eat a small 300 calorie meal + some 100 calorie meals then you will be fine as long as you dont go over 1500 calories

Adrian Bryant | 05.14.09 - 10:11 pm

Hi Adrian. I recently read in a magazine that I could snack my way to being thin. Meaning eating snacks that are equal to or less than 100 calories each waking hour and not to exceed 1500 calories a day. I have tried it and it seems to be working I have lost 5lbs in the past 2 weeks. According to your calorie calculator (which I love by the way) I should be eating 5 times a day, every 3 hours and 249-333 calories each meal. What I want to ask is could I still lose weight by doing the 100 calorie thing for part of the day and then start eating 3 hours apart later on in the day so I could enjoy bigger meals? Or would that slow down my metabolism? And also I have heard that when using the 100 calorie method that on days when I eat more than usual that I will end up losing even more weight on those days...how is that possible?

Donna | 05.13.09 - 10:08 pm

Im telling some of my fat friends. This is great

Ashley Tisdale | 05.13.09 - 6:11 pm

Slim,

Yes and anything that is HIGH intensity for you is considered high intensity so in reality...

walking at 1 mph could be HIGH intensity for you (but I doubt it) - intensity is realative to each person

go here to see if you're working out hard enough to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 05.11.09 - 8:58 pm

Hi, I love your outline of how to lose 50lbs. I have started the plan. Do running and step machines at the gym and cycling count as high intensity exercises? I've been working out morning and mid-afternoon.
Thanks,
Slim

If the one here at NowLoss.com/50 is too hard to stick to then...

Do the EZ diet at NowLoss.com/8 and

Go to NowLoss.com/abs for six pack

Adrian Bryant | 05.05.09 - 3:07 pm

mangirdas | 05.05.09 - 11:27 am

Brooke,

Just try 4 255 - 350 calorie meals at first and if you are not hungry keep doing this but if hunger does become a problem...

GO up to 300-400 for 4 meals and...

remember to eat mostly the foods at NowLoss.com/199 to fight hunger and look at these tips to fight hunger

Adrian Bryant | 05.05.09 - 3:05 pm

Hi again,

My nowloss/50 chart says i should eat meals that are between 255 and 340 to start and to eat five times a day. I cant eat five times a day beacuse it takes me awhile to eat so i will be eating non stop all day and i just cant do that. So i eat 4 times a day breakfast, snack, lunch, dinner, is this okay? Also my calorie intake for my big meals range from 350-400 is this okay?

Brooke | 05.05.09 - 10:37 am

Nancy,

What you have laid out is fine but...

Do the weight training first and then the intervals and then the elliptical

See fast weight loss tip 14 as to why

Adrian Bryant | 05.05.09 - 3:02 pm

I was reading the plan on how to lose 50lbs. I'm 5'8'' I weigh 200lbs but have, so my DR. says large bone structure, and very muscular legs. I carry most of my weight in my mid-section and my inner thighs. Anyways my question is, if I do the 30min interval training in the mornings on a stationary bike, would doing like 20-30 min on the eliptical and then about 30min of strength training count as the 45-90min suggested, or does it have to be purely cardio?

Thanks!
Nancy

Nancy | 05.05.09 - 9:13 am

lina,

It probably won't happen by mid-june but you can more realistically reach your goal by the end of summer following NowLoss.com/50 at first and then NowLoss.com/15 to lose last 10 pounds

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 9:53 pm

Hi! I am glad that there are people like you trying to help the rest of us get in shape. I am 16, 5'2" and weigh 145 lbs. I need to lose weight because high cholesterol runs in my family and I want to be healthy. I have also never worn a bikini and this summer I want to wear a bikini! I would like to weigh at least 115lbs and would like to know how I would be able to do that by mid-june? Thank you!

lina | 04.30.09 - 7:16 pm

PiRLANTAA

1) mainly good for losing but YES... it'll tone your legs some as well

2) You'll notice results quickly if you never really done triceps exercises before or if you haven't done any in a while

3) YES - drinking water before meals will decrease your appettie maiking you eat less and lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.30.09 - 9:52 pm

Hey again,
I just have couple questions.

1) Is walkingg good for loosing AND toning?

2) & when doing a tricep work out, how long would it take for one to notice the transformation happening?

3) will drinking a lot of water even before we eat..help keep weight off and loose weight?

I'm 36 years old and I weigh 196lbs I am 5ft 7in...I would like to lose 40lbs by August 24th my birthday. I have been working out 5 days a week...but I am not seeing any difference in my wieght, but I am losing inches. What else can I do.

cami305@aol.com | 04.27.09 - 4:29 pm

imsavingtheworld,

Any workout is fine so pick any one that you like and the key is to just switch up your workout at least every 3-to-4 weeks or more often than that.

If you ever get to a point where you think you need to change your workout in someway to help you lose weight faster - go here and look at 1-thru-5 to lose weight faster

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 7:33 am

Hello, my name is Gabe and I'm 18 years old and I'm 180 pounds. I'm just having trouble on which workouts I should do and how many times a week I should do them beause there are so many, I'm just very excited to follow your routine but I'm having trouble choosing because there are so many.

Could please point me in the right direction? Is there anyway I could get a personalized program from you? I'm very new at this.

Thanks!

imsavingtheworld@hotmail.com | 04.27.09 - 12:52 am

shane,

It seems like your body fat is already low - go here to check body fat percentage but...


It's not how much weight - It's how much fat you need to lose to show off your abs and guys usually need a body fat % lower than 10 in order to show off ripped abs and in your case...

Since you are close to getting a six pack - try NowLoss.com/15 to lose that last bit of fat to make your abs show

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 7:31 am

hi my name is shane im 6'2 235 and im 19 my arms are big and musculer and cut bt my abdominal region isnt the best but isnt the worst how much weight do i need to loose

shane | 04.27.09 - 12:24 am

Brandon,

The oatmeal & milk is fine but cut out the sugar (OF COURSE!)

Don't eat anything - eat mainly stuff at NowLoss.com/199 in small portions and...

You can eat more than a salad and it seems to me you'll do better with the diet plan at NowLoss.com/8

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 7:27 am

Im 19 years old im 6'2 and weigh 235lbs. Very dedicated to loosing this weight but need to know if eating oatmeal with 2% milk and sugar for breakfast, eating anything for lunch just in small portions and a salad for dinner everyday while drinking only water before and after every time i eat, is a good meal plan while doing this workout?

Brandon | 04.26.09 - 7:43 pm

andiek23,

The plan at NowLoss.com/50 is pretty fast but I can't guarantee you'll lose the 50 pounds in less than 4 months.

Just stick to NowLoss.com/50, eat mainly only foods at NowLoss.com/199, workout twice a day, and drink plenty of water and...

as for the Wii - any game that makes you move is fine but go here to make sure you are working out hard enough to lose weight +...

You may want to consider intervals at NowLoss.com/i to speed up weight loss and also...

Imagine how good you'll look in your dress for motivation

Adrian Bryant | 04.28.09 - 7:24 am

Hello i used to way 135 pounds until i got pregnant. well since i got pregnant i had him in 2007. I now weigh 180. I have tried working out in the gym and weight watchers but it didn't work.

I don't have a dress yet because i am so discussed with my self for weighing this much. I just need to do something fast. Please help!

Pipi,

You're off to a good start and just contact me if you run into any problems

Adrian Bryant | 04.24.09 - 9:36 pm

Hi Adrian,

I had a baby 3 months ago and gained 50lbs during pregnancy. I was 140 pre-pregnancy and about 175 after giving birth. I am now at 158 and want desperately to get back at 140 by June 1st. Btw, I am 5'8".

I just started your program. Am I okay doing the following:

Doing the diet - 2 veggies or fruit with whey protein shake. Wait 30 minutes and if I am hungry eat a meal up to 300 calories.

Workout - Do workout #1 or #2 three to four times a week. Other days do a high intensity class at gym (combination of cardio and weights).

Fat Burner - Green tea. I am hesitant to try anything else due to any side effects.

Taking a multivitamin everyday.

My arms are now very toned, but my problem areas are abs (they are majorly flabby and I really need help here) and my upper thighs (I really need to lose inches here).

Do you think I am being realistic and on a good plan to lose the weight?

Pipi | 04.23.09 - 11:51 pm

i see. thanks a lot. maybe this time i can be more motivated to get in shape than the previous times i have tried.

Adam | 04.23.09 - 9:13 pm

Adam,

For men - anything over 25 is considered obese so YES...

You can at lose enough weight to get under 25%

Once you get under 10-15% you'll start seeing yourself getting more muscle definiton

Adrian Bryant | 04.23.09 - 5:09 pm

i put my weight in it and all. but the numbers are not coming out right...Body Fat:
27.93 %
Body Fat:
27.93 %
Lean Weight:
205.07 pounds
Weight:233
i put my weight in at 233 and it says i have 61 something pounds of fat and my lean weight is 205?

Adam | 04.22.09 - 10:25 pm

Adam,

go here to check your body fat

If you're under 15% - then you really don't need to lose any weight

Adrian Bryant | 04.22.09 - 8:20 pm

What's your weight and height and how many calories were you eating before then

If i ate 1500-1600 calories a day would that be better or worse or the same? thanks

I used to be very active whenever i was in high school. Then as you know went to college and gained about 50lbs. Im not a very big person and this weight im carrying is hurting the way i feel about myself. also the way i feel with my health. I work nights now that i am done with school and i find it harder and harder to lose weight. cant you give me some pointers.

Adrian Bryant | 04.19.09 - 7:55 am

I am 5'0" 170-172 lbs. I should be about 125 pounds. I need to lose 50 pounds...how do I achieve this quickly and safe? I am having a hard time losing the weight. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week for about 45 mins and do the tredmill and I see a trainer 1 time a week. Is there a fairly easy way to count callories, remember what to eat ect? HELP???

TL | 04.18.09 - 7:56 pm

Alison,

You need to be more patient b/c losing that much by July may not happen - be resoanble and seta goal of losing that much in 5+ months instead and...

Even if you did lose that much weight by July - you'll gain it all back just as quick because usuallly...

The faster you lose = the quicker you gain it all back.

Instead of whey or soy - there's other protein sources at NowLoss.com/199

Adrian Bryant | 04.16.09 - 1:41 pm

First of all i have to thank you so much for your website, it is amazing. I am 15 year old girl, 5'3 and 170lb, i know it is bad, but i need to be about 112lbs by July 1, 2009 so if there is any thing you can recommend i will really apriciate it. And one other thing is i have looked at a few different options you offer and whey or soy protien is mentioned and i was wondering if it was a major role in weight loss or can i leave it out and just have water? Once again thank you so much.

Alison | 04.15.09 - 11:18 pm

First of all, thank you for all the valuable information and motivation. I am 23 years old, height 5feet 2inches and weigh 178 pounds. My question is while trying to lose my 50 excess pounds will my bust line decrease significantly? I am excited and determined to lose the weight but at the same time I do not want to lose my curves. Also, what is a good exercise to firm up the thighs, the inner thighs in specific? Thanks for your advice in advance.

Susie | 04.08.09 - 11:14 pm

isabelle,

DOn't do that but do this instead..

Do the emergency diet plan to lose 20+ pounds fast first for 1-to-2 months before your prom and then...

Come back and do the NowLoss.com/50 plan and...

Twice a day working out is all you need and if you want to workout more than 2x a day...

Look at this home weight loss workout for how to do that

Adrian Bryant | 04.08.09 - 9:55 am

Hi
weight:176lbs
age:17
height:5"2

I want to start the lose 5olbs in 5 months except i want to improvise on it by using the weight loss calculator by subtracting 1000 calories a day from my daily calorie intake.
and then i will be doing the lose 20lbs in 3-4 week eating plan and use the calories from the 50lbs to follow ,while exercising at least 3x a day for at most 60minute each and at least 3o minutes.
so in 5months i should be losing 72 pounds ,is that unhealthy or is it ok because I'm trying to lose as much as possible before prom which is in 2 months but id like to keep continuing to keep the weigh off.
my only problem is the meal plan,thats a bit hard because i usually dont know how much calorie cause my mother always ccook,so if only eat small portions,will
that be ok,and if you have any idea to help make this faster,please help.

i really love your website it helps and motivate .

isabelle | 04.07.09 - 5:21 pm

PIRLANTAA,

It's okay but I still wouldn't drink it all the time and I would stick with basic spring or tap water until you reached your weight loss goal

Adrian Bryant | 04.11.09 - 8:19 pm

The Canada Dry I meant is Club Soda.
Basically, carbinated water.
Is that okay?

PIRLANTAA | 04.10.09 - 3:53 pm

PIRLANTAA,

I've heard of canda dry but never had any but...

Don't replace it with water and I wouldn't drink no more than 1 can a week and a table spoon of Honey or Mollasis per day is really NOT okay but taking it may or may NOT ruin your weight loss goals but..

Ask yourself this...

Will taking canada dry or honey get me closer to my goals? - I think the answer is NO and you should ask me...

What foods can help me reach my goals faster

Adrian Bryant | 04.06.09 - 6:55 pm

Is Canadian Dry Soda alright? The one with the blue can..It's like Miniral water I think..The one thats acidic and has no taste?

Is a table spoon of Honey or Mollasis per day okay?

PIRLANTAA | 04.06.09 - 6:17 pm

anonymous,

YEs - but in that case...

Avoid fast weight loss workout #2 and do the home weight loss workout sometimes

Adrian Bryant | 04.05.09 - 8:34 pm

can i use the fast weight loss workouts without weights to lose fat without building muscle? I want to lose fat first then tone so that the scale doesn't show the extra weight of muscle to make sure I actually reach my weight loss goal. is this possible?

Instead of 5 meals a day - you can eat 3-to-4 bigger meals a day

Adrian Bryant | 04.04.09 - 5:00 pm

Hi, I can do everything that you are saying but, it's hard to eat that many calories and/or that many times a day. Can you give me some suggestions?

latricia | 04.03.09 - 3:13 am

Courtney,

It's possible but still set a goal of losing 50 pounds in 5-8 months

Adrian Bryant | 04.01.09 - 9:05 am

Hi,

I am 5'1 and 178 pounds. Bad, I know. Is it possible to lose 50 pounds in 3 months? I am currently doing Atkins and have started strength training and HIIT.

Courtney | 04.01.09 - 2:10 am

Joann,

It seems to me that you may not be working out hard enough to lose weight so...

#1 - I recommend you go to NowLoss.com/i and do shorter but more intense intervals 3-to-4 times a week and also...

#2 - go here to see how hard you need to workout to lose weight and...

#3 - Look at 1-thru-5 here to speed up weight loss with exercise

The 60min steady state cardio you are doing may be fine for off days but steady state cardio like you are doing now is really only good for the first month of a weight loss plan just to get people acclimated or in shape for more intense weight loss workouts

Adrian Bryant | 03.26.09 - 3:25 pm

hi again,

I'm 5'8 and 188 pounds. I eat about 1300 calories a day. I exercise for about 60 minutes a day doing 30 minutes of elliptical and 30 minutes aerobics. I am minimal of high fat and high carb foods. My problem is that i'm not losing weight what am i doing wrong. I've been doing this for about 2 weeks now.

Joann | 03.25.09 - 7:31 pm

amena,

Since you are not overweight - it's going to be hard for you to see any drastic changes in a week - go here to see why but for a week...

You can do this emergency diet plan and since you have only 30 minutes to exercise...

Do shorter but intense intervals (NowLoss.com/i)

Adrian Bryant | 03.24.09 - 7:19 pm

Jason | 03.21.09 - 10:48 pm

PIRLANTAA,

Everybody is different in the fact of how often they get used to an exercise but YES...

You do want to switch up your routine every 4-to-6 weeks

Adrian Bryant | 03.23.09 - 8:54 am

Is this with or without exercise?

I go on 3o - 1 hr walks often.

Is it after 6 weeks that my body will get use to the walking and not loose?

I don't know why, i tried to follow your diet plan when i got the reply yesterday, but around lunch time this morning i can't handle myself from eating greasy food!!. i don't know what to say. Is there anyway to discipline myself so i won't eat more than 228-276 calories per meal?

Julie | 03.17.09 - 3:13 pm

Julie,

You're probably not going to be able to lose 25 pounds in 6 weeks at your weight & height and...

I suggest you focus on 10 pounds at a time by going to NowLoss.com/15

Adrian Bryant | 03.16.09 - 7:02 pm

I'm 15 year old female 5'2 and weight 130 pounds. I really want to lose 25 pounds in 6 weeks. Do you have any suggestion? I just found out about this program today actually and I really want to lose 25 pounds for myself before spring break.

Julie | 03.16.09 - 5:31 pm

Sorry me again ok well when i enter 5'11 278 and male i get 2400 to 3500. If i dont get that much i wont lose muscle or will i lose weight less effectively without getting enough.

How old are you and what are you picking for your activity level and is your goal to build muscle & burn fat?

If so - Go to NowLoss.com/rr

Adrian Bryant | 03.16.09 - 7:00 pm

Karen,

Sorry about that,

try it again and it'll tell you how much protein you need and YES...

Soy protein is fine

Adrian Bryant | 03.16.09 - 6:58 pm

Hi Adrien, I'm ready to start losing weight but for some reason when I put in my information such as my height and current weight it doesn't show me how much protein I should consume for the day or each meal. What would you suggest for a female,27 semi active and 176lbs @ 5"2? Also, do you suggest drinking soy protein w/ water before each meal for my diet to lose 50 lbs in 5 months?

Karen | 03.16.09 - 2:34 pm

Jon,

Your Questions & My Answers...

1) Is it ok to skim a little protien powder off of my scoop because one scoop of my protien powder is 150 calories and your estimates are for 100 calories per scoop? - YES

Secondly, my elliptical trainer has intervals pre-programmed in it. During the high intensity part, it raises the tension and makes it harder to pedal. Is this ok, or should I keep the settings on low and just speed up and slow down for my intervals? This is okay and you can do pre-programmed intervals or you can do the fast/slow interval like you mentioned

Please go back and use the calculator at NowLoss.com/50 because when I did it - It had you eating about 1500-to-2000 calories a day

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.15.09 - 2:11 pm

Hi nate again
you just answered a question of mine about doing tae bo.Again i will say im 5'11 278 and im wanting to get to around 200. i'm guessing anyway i have been eating better foods like oatmeal and lean meats but im getting to maybe 1500 calories a day it seems like im eating a good sized meals so is that a ok amount of calories per day for me plus doing tae bo or am i gonna wanna increase that to what your pages say for my weight and height i think it says like 3400 calories.

Right now i run for about 30 to 45mins everyday at a fast pace and eat healthy what else can i do. Thanks

dalalruchi@hotmail.com | 03.12.09 - 7:10 pm

Lauren,

You can still eat breakfast before 11am and it's okay if you can't workout FIRST thing in the morning...

As long as you workout at least ONCE a day but TWICE is better! and at your weight...

50 pounds is possible even with once a day workouts but still shoot for twice a day

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.12.09 - 9:42 am

I am 208 pounds and I want to lose over fifty pounds. I am going to begin by doing the lose 50 pounds in 5 to 8 months. I had one question though I would be eating breakfast at about 7 am. I know you said to workout before breakfast. I dont have the time and I wouldnt be able to workout until about 11:15 am. Would that make a big difference in how fast i lose the weight?

Lauren | 03.12.09 - 1:52 am

Ann,

You'll still be able to lose weight and you may end it losing it faster because it seems to me like you may be eating less on THurs-thru-sat but on THurs-thru-sat...

Make sure you eat high fiber & protein to suppress your appetite and to keep you going all day

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.11.09 - 8:02 pm

Hi Adrian!

First of all I want to say how incredibly awesome it is that you take the time to write back to all these questions!

My question is, I am 24 years old 5'0 and weigh about 165lbs... My goal is to get to about 120lbs. I would like to try out your plan to lose 50 lbs in 5-8mths but my problem is this:
Monday to Wenesday I work a desk job, I will have time to eat the small meals throughout the day,no problem... Thursday-Saturday I work at a very busy hair salon, usually that means absolutely NO time to break for snacks, let alone take a lunch break! On those days I usually have a bagel in the morning and it keeps me going till about 6pm when I can sit down and have a supper. Also I go to school 2 nights a week so I end up having supper at 10pm when I get home. My exercise routine consists of walking to the bus stop every morning. About a 10 minute brisk walk.
Will I be able to lose weight even with this eating schedule?

Just go here if you ever hit a weight loss plateau

Adrian Bryant | 03.10.09 - 4:28 pm

Hi Adrian,

I used to weigh 188 and have brought my weight down to 166 all with the nintendo wii and walking 30 mins a day. I am only 5 feet 2 inches and I need help losing weight on my legs. I've always had big legs I was in cheerleading for over 12 years and completely quit after high school. I have a gym membership and would love to incorporate weight training into my work outs do you think you can help me with this?
I also want to firm up the rest of my body as well.
My roommate just bought THE FIRM and was wondering should I just do that? I only use the cardio machines at the gym so sometimes I feel that I am paying over $90 a month for nothing. Like I mentioned above I do have the nintendo wii but feel that the strength training exercises in the program are not enough. I used to lift weights when I was 18-19 years old I am only 25 now but you can still feel and see some muscle on my legs especially my arms but I would love to go down to atleast 120-125 please help and as for my eating habits I love eating fruit and raw veggies and only drink mootopia (lactose, fat free milk with less sugar and more protein than regular milk) aside from water. Please let me know if you have any questions for me thank you!!!!

Barbara | 03.10.09 - 1:42 pm

Amy,

Try to eat 1200-to-1600 calories a day and not JUST 1200 everyday and go here to see how you can exercise better to lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 03.07.09 - 11:28 pm

I am not sure why my docotor threw that number at me(1200 calories). He just says that my body structure is too small to be carrying the extra weight. He did say my blood sugar was elevated but said that would resolve itself once I lost weight. It is very hard for me to loose that is the problem. I am so frustrated because I am following his recommendations and I am gaining weight. I have no known medical conditions so it is unclear as to why he recommended such a drastic decrease in my calorie intake.

Amy | 03.06.09 - 11:23 pm

Kassandra,

No - don't do that!

If you miss a meal - don't worry too much about it and eat as regular sched. but...

You really need to eat breakfast - see #12 here for why

Adrian Bryant | 03.07.09 - 11:31 pm

Hi. I am a 38 yr old female. I started following some of the ideas from your website.
I have regimented a menu to follow every 3 hours. In 2 days, I have not felt hungry. So far so good.

Leanne,

1300 calories is okay (you'll lose weight faster at first) and I agree...

Going below 1200 isn't really a good idea and I recommend doing 1-thru-5 here to lose weight faster before cutting calories

Adrian Bryant | 03.05.09 - 4:18 pm

I started this plan a few days ago, however im finding it hard to eat 1800 calories a day. I've been keeping a food journal and my average calorie intake is 1300. In the plan it says I should be down to that in the last month of the plan. I don't think it would be smart to eat lower than 1300 calories.. Should I figure out higher calorie meals?

Thanks for your help!
Leanne

Hey Adrian, great site! I've gotten so much info!
I have a few questions about the 50lb in 5-8 months. I did the calculations: I'm 21, I'm around 5'10/5'11 and I weight 175. I exercise 5 times a week (Semi-Active) for 30-45 minutes, but only once a day.
According to the workout plan I need to workout in the morning and later in the evening. I am a college student and I have classes M-F starting at 8am and I have breakfast before class. I'm usually finished around 11 so I workout straight after class. Is my 11am workout not as effective? Should I fast before my 11am? Plus, with homework, group projects and tests (plus an evening Class on Wednesday) it would be difficult to get a workout sometimes in the evening. What can I do about this? Could I still have a effective workout once a day and still lose the 50 lbs in 5-8 months?
Also, I eat about 1300 calories a day or less. According to the calculations to lose the first ten pounds I need to eat between 1582-2068 calories. Should I increase my calorie amount or keep it at 1300 or less?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm become really frustrated b/c I lost 10 pounds and I kept cutting the calories down and I wasn't losing anymore and at times my weight fluctuates 2-5lbs.

Erica | 03.05.09 - 11:52 am

Amy,

I don't want to go against your Doctor's recommendations - Is the 1200 calories for health or medical reasons?

Adrian Bryant | 03.05.09 - 4:10 pm

Thanks for responding to my previous question. To answer your questions....my doctor recommended that i go on a 1200 cal diet. I am eating low fat, low cal meals and have healthy snacks in between my meals. I keep a daily log of my food intake, this helps me stay on track. As far as exercis goes, I walk. I looked at the material you recommended and I was wondering is it possible that my body is in starvation mode? Should I be consuming more calories? Like I mentioned before the doctor recommended the 1200 cal diet. What is your suggestion?

Amy | 03.05.09 - 10:37 am

ally,

Intervals (See NowLoss.com/i) are a good way to workout shorter (20-t0-45 minutes) but more intense.

Look at how hard you need to workout to lose weight

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.05.09 - 8:05 am

hey,
I just found your site and desperately need to loose weight, my problem is that i have school from 7:45 a.m.-5p.m. so for me working out twice a day is really hard. is there a way for me to make up lost work out time by working out harder or longer? any tips at all?

ally | 03.05.09 - 2:15 am

Adrian,

The NowLoss.com/50 will help you lose 50 pounds in 5-to-8 months and NO...

You don't have to workout in the morning & evening and this will of course make you lose weight slower but you do need to workout

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.05.09 - 8:03 am

hi im adrian also male 20 250lb i was wondering if its possible to lose 50 pounds by the end of august, i turn 21 and want to look better for my birthday. I currently am a college student and used to play soccer. I was wondering what I can do to lose that much in by August and if can be possible. What other work out programs can I do? Does it have to be both morning and night because I have alot of time to deal with classwork and homework. Please try to help me. Thank you

Adrian | 03.05.09 - 2:07 am

Elke,

The closer you get to your weight loss goal the slower your weight loss rate is going to be and in your case...

You can keep doing the diet you're doing and still lose but not as fast as you want.

Instead of going back to 1200-to-1500 right away - Look at #8 here and YES - EXERCISE!

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.05.09 - 8:01 am

Hi Adrian,
awesome site!!
I was hopeing you could help me out.
First my stats
Female,149lbs and 5'5.

Well for the last three months I have been on a diet called the 1st personal diet. It is appox 800 calories a day max. Excercise is prohibited because of the calorie intake. I've managed to lose 16
lbs in 3 months but you would thing it would be way more with the amount of calories im consuming.

I really miss working out. I was about 135 lbs a year ago before I had my son. I worked out and ate around 1200-1500 cal a day and i felt great!

I'm worried that if i switch over to a higher calorie diet I will gain the weight back super quick.
I promised my self I would stay on this crazy diet till april 21st. my sons first b day. I was hoping to be at my goal weight by then. The scale is barley moving now and I'm getting really frustrated. i'm not sure what the best route is. Help Pleassse!!
Thaks for being here.
Elke

Sam | 03.04.09 - 6:14 pm

Amy,

Go here to see why you may have gained weight but other than eating 1200 calories - what else are you doing to lose Weight? what about exercise?

Adrian Bryant | 03.04.09 - 5:34 pm

I am 5 ft 1 in and weigh 189. I have been on a strict 1200 calorie diet for a couple of weeks now. I weigh once a week and the last two weigh ins I have gained weight. I do not understand this.

Amy | 03.04.09 - 11:25 am

Ashley,

Please look at why you can't lose weight and then...

Look at how to break out of a weight loss plateau

Adrian Bryant | 03.03.09 - 12:39 pm

Hi, I'm Ashley, a 23yr old, 5'7" 190lb college student. I recently got engaged and the wedding is set for December. I desperately want to lose some weight for the wedding.

The problem is that I've been trying to lose weight for over a year now and have not budged. I've been eating healthier (less sweets more veggies & fruits) and have been going to the gym, but my weight and measurements are staying the same.

Any tips to get this fat to move? Could there be something wrong with me health wise?

Also, I have knee and hip issues because of injuries when I was younger. Any tips on exercise routines that are easy on the joints but still blast fat away?

Ashley | 03.03.09 - 11:35 am

Mary,

Look at this video to get rid of cellulite

If you haven't done muscle toning exercises in a while then you'll see results right away or at least after your 3rd workout

Adrian Bryant | 03.03.09 - 12:38 pm

Hi Adrian,

I just found your site today and it's amazing, thank you for being here to help us. I need to lose 50 pounds and I'm going to follow your plan. I have cellulite dimples on my thighs and butt, is there anyway I can get rid of that besides surgery...please say yes!

Also, if I start doing muscle toning exercises, when will I start to see a difference?

Mary | 03.03.09 - 10:06 am

Ryan,

Go here to firm up flabby skin

Adrian Bryant | 03.03.09 - 9:38 am

I lost weight really fast exercising and eating good in my opinion (ABOUT 25LBS in 2 months). what are some good TONING exercises for the flabby skin

Ryan | 03.02.09 - 9:53 pm

VALERIE,

You may be able to lose 50 pounds in 4 months at NowLoss.com/50 but you shoould really make a goal to lose 50 pounds in 5-to-8 months

Adrian Bryant | 03.03.09 - 9:32 am

HEY I WOULD LIKE TO LOSE 50 POUND IN 4 MONTH WHAT CAN I DO TO LOSE WEIGHT? AND WHAT WORRYS ME THE MOST IS THAT I DON'T WAT ALOT AND I WEIGHT 208 AND I REALLY WORRY WHAT CAN I DO????!!!!

VALERIE | 03.02.09 - 9:14 pm

sophie,

You can certainly try that and you may be able to get away with that but...

1000 calories at ONE meal is a LOT! and eating that much at one meal will probably cause your body to store that as fat - see why eating 5 meals is better

What about Meal Replacements - MRP's - will that help you save time?

Adrian Bryant | 03.02.09 - 2:53 pm

hiya, im finding it hard to fit 5 smaller meals in through the day. I'm supposed to eat about 1350 cals a day which is about 300 cals a meal. would you still get the same weight loss if you were to have 3 meals a day to make it up to 1000 cals and have 2 small 150 cal snacks? thanx

sophie | 03.02.09 - 12:32 pm

Kevin,

#1 - You are probably the only one who notices this imbalance and everybody (except bodybuilders) have perfect symmetry since they have to be PERFECT but...

#2 - If you're left handed - you can try doing things right handed and/or...

#3 - You can do extra sets & reps with your right arms to catch up with your left side but...

#4 - ME, YOu, and most people will always have one side that is bigger than the other and it's usually only noticeable to you

Adrian Bryant | 03.02.09 - 2:49 pm

Adrian,
Im a 20 year old male and I've been following the lossnow.com/50 fast weight loss workouts for just over a month and I lost 16lbs fast. I gained a large increase of muscle mass in my legs and upper body, but the whole left side of my body is getting much larger than my right side. Especially in my arms and even my core. What should i be do to even it out?

Kevin | 03.02.09 - 12:08 pm

sheryl,

Yes - it's very possible you can still lose 35 pounds doing what you're doing now but go here if you ever hit a weight loss plateau

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.02.09 - 6:21 am

Hi Adrian,

I am 5'3, 32 y/o was 167 lbs in 1/11/09, I am now 150 lbs. I would like to lose another 30-35 lbs in 3 to 4 months. I have been eating 1200-1300 cal. a day and tried to walk 3 times a week for 45 mins. I know that walking is not really enough and should exercise some more. My question is, with my minimal exercise and counting calories would help me to lose those 35 lbs? I am worried that I lost 18 lbs of water only and I would not lose anymore weight.

Adrian, I would like to thank you for all your help to all of us that have weight problem. It is very nice of you to do this.

Pls answer back at mictroyenriquez@yahoo.com

God Bless!

sheryl | 03.01.09 - 8:48 pm

Simon,

It's possible but a year to a year and half is more realistic

ADRIAN BRYANT | 03.01.09 - 4:16 pm

Hey Adrian,

I'm 22 years old and weigh 315lbs
I've set myself a plan using a lot of information I've gotten from this website.

I'd like to lose 140 pounds and I've given myself about 10 months to get it off.

Do you think this is possible or is it unrealistic?

Can you give me any tips?

Thanks

Simon | 03.01.09 - 2:21 pm

Ashleigh,

Just do the weight training 2-to-3 days a week before cardio - go here and look at #14 tosee why

Adrian Bryant | 02.25.09 - 7:06 pm

Hi Adrian, I am 5'10 222 and I started working out daily last monday, I initally lost 3lbs, I want to tone and lose weight so, how should I seperate my cardio and strenght training exercises? can I do them together or should I seperate them and do them every other day?

thanks!

Ashleigh | 02.25.09 - 12:41 pm

Emily,

It's highly possible for you to lose 30 pounds by April going by your current weight & height and...

Weight loss should be easy for you given your current inactivity and eating habits.

Doing the things at NowLoss.com/50 will change your life style to get you started losing weight.

If you commit to both a diet and exercise plan - you should be able to lose at least 15 pounds by april and...

If you have trouble getting full - add more fiber, raw veggies and protein to your diet.

contact me if you need more help

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.25.09 - 8:45 am

Everybody loses weight from different places at different times as they lose weight so in your case...

Your thigh or leg fat may be the last bits of fat you lose but...

You can go here to tone your thighs

Adrian Bryant | 02.24.09 - 3:36 pm

Hi Adrian,
I've been following your weight loss plan, and have been doing quite well, but my thighs and hips are still more or less the same. what can i do to tone these areas?

Sam | 02.24.09 - 6:54 am

Chesca,

Your workout is fine to start with but if you ever want faster weight loss with exercise - See 1-thru-5 here

Adrian Bryant | 02.24.09 - 3:34 pm

hey
i weigh 190 and i wont to lose 50 pounds (im 13 and 5,5) im about to try your weight loss plan and was wondering, there is a beach across the road from my house and i walk there every morning.
there is a long ,steep stairway leading to the beach and going back up. it takes me 45-50 mins in general and i stay at the beach for like 5-7 mins before walking back up, is this a ok equivalent to your workouts. (i walk up the stairs at a fast, steady pace the whole way up (probably at least 200 stairs)

Chesca | 02.24.09 - 1:41 am

Lea,

The diet is outlined at NowLoss.com/50 and if you're not happy with your weight loss rate - I would reduce calories by up to 250 but only do this if you're not losing at least 1-2 pounds a week and...

I don't know what your dance classes consist of - but dancing usually with help you firm up your body overall without weight training

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.23.09 - 10:43 pm

I weigh 191 and want to lose 50lbs. I joined the gym and am doing treadmill 30 mins 5 days a week. Dance classes 60 mins 4 days a week. My questions are how often should I weight train and what kind of diet should I do?

Lea | 02.23.09 - 4:55 pm

Ben,

You don't need meat but you do need protein.

Go to NowLoss.com/199 to see other protein food sources

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.23.09 - 8:19 am

I weigh almost 400 pounds if not more. I need to lose weight. I've been getting so down and out about the whole thing I even looked into anorexia(I chose not to do this lol). But after seeing your site I gained a little hope. My question is that I'm a Vegertarian and I was wondering if I could still do what you tell me without eatting meat?

Ben | 02.23.09 - 7:05 am

kiki,

Yes - it's possible to lose 30 pounds by august


Go here for inner thigh toning

Go here for stomach toning

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.23.09 - 8:19 am

I'm 5'10 I weigh 208 pounds is it possible for me to lose 30 pounds by summer or august if i start now? Also i have toned thighs but i'd like my inner thighs to be more toned and tight what can I do? And something for my stomach thanks

kiki | 02.22.09 - 11:36 pm

Suzie,

There is no way you can pick and choose where you lose weight from.

After you've reached your goal or while you're losing weight - you can do this workout to maintain the bigger looking "bust" size

Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:01 pm

Do you have any advice on how I can lose weight but maintain my bust size? I kind of like it the way it is!
Thank you so much.

Suzie | 02.21.09 - 9:55 pm

Becky,

YES - it's normal to get sore whenever you try something new but...

If that soreness is preventing you from working out at your full potential - take an extra day off or do some light (but longer lasting) activity like 60-to-90 minutes of walking or riding a bike

Adrian Bryant | 02.22.09 - 12:20 pm

Is it normal for my feet to get so sore and tired from doing all this hard exercise? My legs are tired too.

Becky | 02.21.09 - 1:28 pm

Bambi,

When you're at NowLoss.com/50 and when you put in all your stats - it will tell you ho small your meals are supposed to be - for example...

You may have to eat 5 small "300" calorie meals a day and...

Go here for when to treat yourself for fries

Adrian Bryant | 02.18.09 - 8:28 pm

Ok when you say five small meals a day, how small are we talking? Like a bannana, half of a baked patatoe, and a small salad for example? And when is it ok to treat yourself with lets say some fries? Once a month or so?

Bambi | 02.18.09 - 10:42 am

Alec,

See big list of protein foods here

Adrian Bryant | 02.17.09 - 4:49 pm

What foods can be consumed to reach the protein requirement given the limited calories to eat daily? Can you give some examples?

Alec | 02.16.09 - 10:02 pm

brent,

It's both possible and safe but I would expect only a 30-to-40 pound weight loss by then

Adrian Bryant |  02.17.09 - 4:48 pm

Man I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate you so much for what you do!! It is truly amazing. I have been using your tips and workouts for a week and I've lost 11 lbs. I want to be at 180 by my birthday June 9th. I weigh around 227 now. Is that possible? and if so is it safe?

brent | 02.16.09 - 6:49 pm

Pat,

Even though you're frustrated - DO NOT QUIT and...

Did U look at 1-thru-5 regarding exercise and...

Go here to see if you're really working out hard enough to lose weight and...

I know you're doing weight watchers but let's say for the sake of argument that you are exercising RIGHT...

If you're eating too much even though you are on weight watchers it'll still hinder your weight loss so...

Also Look at the first part of why you can't lose weight

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.15.09 - 6:47 pm

Adriane in answer to your answer. I weight 169 lbs and am 5'4.4"


(Adriane I am very!!! frustrated. I am 40 pounds overweight. I am on weight watchers and I am doing high intensity workouts on the elipticle for 30 min and then 20 miniutes at normal speed to make up 50 min Mon-Fri before eating anything. Then Mon-Sat every night after dinner 15 min. on the bike plus arm weights every other day. I have been doing this for 3 and 1/2 weeks and have only lost 1 and 1/2 pounds. This does not make sense when I am 40 pounds over weight. It should be coming off faster with all that I am doing. Should I stop exercising? This is crazy!
Thank you.
Pat)

Pat | 02.15.09 - 9:02 am

Pat,

The main thing you need to do is go here and look at 1-thru-5 regarding exercise and...

Go here to see if you're really working out hard enough to lose weight and also...

How many total calories are you eating & what's your weight and height?

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.14.09 - 10:52 pm

This home weight loss video is an option and if no space in house - do outside or...

If that's not an option - You can do fast weight loss workouts #1 or #2 in your house

No excuses - stay in touch - and YOU & i make your wedding day best day ever and...

Maybe your finance would like to do this plan here?

ADRIAN BRYANT | 02.13.09 - 7:14 pm

I am 4'11" and weigh around 155lbs. My wedding is in 4 months and I am desperate to not look like a marshmellow on my wedding day. My parents spent $1600 on photography and I don't want to hate every picture I am in. I have a gym membership that I rarely use but would be willing to go anytime anyday, and for morning exercise it would be best to do something at home. Could you suggest a video or something I can do in my living room and also my diet as of now is horrible with my main problem being I hate vegetables and only have a small handful of fruits I like.

My fiance is 5'9" and almost 200lbs and will be my partner and support in this weight loss any tips for him would help too.

Anesio,

10 pounds month is great! - Keep doing what you're doing

YOU HAVE no reason to be frustrated and I'll say it again.

You really should lose 8-to-10 pounds a month or 1-to-3 pounds a week and also...

If you want to speed things up - Look at how to lose weight faster here but... I think you're already losing weight fast enough and...

Are any of these weight loss videos an option for you

Anesio | 02.12.09 - 9:15 pm

Bobbie,

You can lose 20 pounds working out in the mornings and/or evenings but YES...

you'll reach your goal faster working out both morning & evening and if you're not a morning person...

You can just workout in the evenings and still lose 20 pounds but go here to why mornings are better to workout

Adrian Bryant | 02.11.09 - 7:34 pm

I would like to lose about 20 pounds. I currently work out about 4 days a week and really count my calories. Is it best to work out in the mornings and at night to get this done? I have a hard time getting up too early.

Bobbie | 02.11.09 - 6:27 pm

mike,

Hydoxycut will speed up weight loss but don't ever think hydoxycut alone will make you lose weight

Adrian Bryant | 02.11.09 - 7:26 pm

if i take hydroxycut with your system will even work faster???
