How to Diet Down NOW

This includes eating steamed meats, vege’s, no junk food, no oils, using only non stick pans to cook, etc. Will this lower my body fat percentage over time?

I also exercise 3-4 times a week at the gym.

It is important to have some fat in our Diet because fat helps the body absorb some vitamins. It’s a good source of energy, and a source of the essential fatty acids that the body can’t make itself.
All those good disease preventing phytochemicals that come from fruits and vegetables will not be absorbed by your body without some fat. Fats also maintain cell membranes and blood vessels, provide energy, transmit nerve impulses and produce some necessary hormones.
You don’t get hungry so soon after a meal that contains some fat.
Have a mixed diet.
Calories per day needed…http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/calories-burned.php
If you eat 3,500 calories more than your body needs, you will put on about 1 pound. If you use up 3,500 calories more than you eat, you will lose about 1 pound in weight.

I have enough muscle and i want to become ripped and lower my body fat percentage,

I can aim to get 50grams of protein a day, I live with my parents and im not sure what i can be able to eat during the day, But ive got some of my own foods which can get me 50grams a day, How much should i eat to prevent muscle loss from a fat loss stage?

Men who work out 3 - 5 days a week for 45 minutes to an hour need 0.45 grams of protein per pound of body weight. If you work out more than that, then you need more protein. The best sources of protein are dairy products, eggs, meat, and fish. A whey protein supplement really helps with getting enough protein, especially after a workout.

Ok, I wanna use the rest of this year to really lose weight and get in shape. I’m gonna be eating fruits, vegetables, whole wheats, low fat dairies and lean protein sources (I’m a vegetarian for my own reasons, not weight loss reasons. I don’t eat fish, nor do I eat beans, chick peas or lentils cause I don’t like them :P) so I eat eggs, tofu and Morning star vegetarian food and nuts and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on my fruit, and I drink at least 3 liters of water and green tea. I’m totally cutting out soda and sugar and I’m going to watch my calories and make sure I eat no less than 1200 a day.

**I cannot go outside and run because I live in a really dangerous neighborhood, I don’t go to public school and I can’t go to a gym, participate in sports, martial arts, etc etc. I can only exercises INDOORS**

I wanna lose 20 - 30 pounds and gain some muscle tone, lose my cellulite and get in pretty good shape by the end of this year. This is a lifestyle change, not just a Diet plan either.

I also will be giving myself a light cheat meal once a week. Probably a skinny cow ice cream or something like that.

I’m 5′2" and 140 pounds. I wanna be 110 - 117 by the New Year.

For exercise, here’s my plan:

1. This may sound silly, but my sibling and I like to pretend we’re performing on stage like a band or something, and we just sing along to songs, but I do alot of running, jumping and dancing. It;s usually about an hour to an hour and 20 mins we do that, and I don’t jump and stuff the whole time, I gotta catch my breath a little and all…….so it’s probably around 20 - 45 minutes of that…..(it’s fun so I’m more likely to do it and not get too bored or anything) —– I do that about 3 - 5 times a week

And then after dinner I do my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred DVD. I’m going to do every level or 2 weeks, not just 10 days. I may do level 1 for less than that because it’s a lot easier and I don’t want to be wasting time. And then If 10 minutes on my treadmill or sometimes 10 minutes of stair walking, sprinting up the stairs, and walking back down. I do this if I have enough time to, and I’m gonna try to do that extra cardio every other night, along side a ten minute strength routine, mostly pilates to tone my muscles and hopefully get rid of some of this cellulite!
I also do chores, some dancing, and I wrestle with my sister sometimes, too.

Breakfast: Usually a whole wheat bagel (110 calories) with one tbs of peanut butter and some fruit or an egg with some fruit

Snack: A piece of fruit, a carrot, or a handful of almonds (1/2 serving - 12 almonds, 75 calories)

Lunch: Either a fruit salad with another 1/2 serving of almonds or a sauteed vegetables (cooked in water) with a little bit of seasonings, top with 1/2 serving of low fat mozzarella cheese (40 calories) with some Morning Star chicken strips on the side (140 calories and 23 grams of protein per 12 strips and I usually eat 6 - or if I don’t eat a bagel breakfast, I have a morning star chicken pattie sandwich on my whole wheat bagels (110 calories for bagel, 140 for pattie)

Snack 2: More fruit or vegetables

Dinner: A large salad with lettuce, onion, frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 serving of low fat mozzarella cheese (40 calories) and Morning Star chicken strips (6 - with some fruit and/or nuts with it (again, 1/2 serving of almonds - 75 calories)

I also drink 2 - 3 liters of water everyday, and green tea!

My Morning Star Chicken Strips are artificial! NOT REAL MEAT.

Does this all sound good?

It sounds really good to me! And BTW you really aren’t obese at all, just a little chubby that’s all it is. And all you have to do is eat healthy, make the right choices, and exercise 3-5 times a week, and you’ll be good. And if you can’t go running, do jumping jacks, that’ll get your cardio up. And do not drink soda whatever you do. If you don’t drink it, then you’ll be up to 10lb’s lighter.

I am very worried he is gaining weight and that can shorten his life span… Please give me some very healthy recipes/diet I can cook for him…

Thank you! so much!

I would not cook for him. I would try putting him on a Diet dog food. Such as Purina OM which you can get at a local veterinary clinic. The food you cook has way more calories than he needs. The vet I used to work for recommended adding frozen carrots (thawed of coarse) to your dogs meals to make you feel comfortable about the amount he is getting. If his weight doesnt start trimming back you may even look into putting him on Slentrol. It is a weightloss supplement that you can also get at veterinary clinics. I have seen amazing results at the clinic I currently work at. Ex. We had a dachshund that was so overweight she couldnt hardly walk. After a few months she was running and playing like a puppy again. The owners couldnt believe the results. Good Luck

Hi, i have a bowlfex. Im not sure what one all i knoe is i got it frombowflexes site for 200 bucks. it was a price mistake for 2000

that said, i downloaded p90x… and i pla to do that, but mainly with my bowflex.

Any other routines to do with bowflex? also if theres a site that will tell me exactly wehat to eat.

Im trying to lose weight (fat, not nesessaraly weight), and gain muscle. so a protien Diet is ideal

P90x is pretty good and a bowflex isn’t bad either. You can find a lot of good information at http://www.gutfat.com if you want to drop some fat.

Main thing is just to pick a plan and stick to it. Don’t give up.

Hi I have been looking for Diet pills that actually work. I have tried alli and it did all it could for me and now I am looking for a fat burner/ energy pill. any recommendations from people that know first hand?

Bad news not only do diet pills not work, but so called dieters like you who try for the quick fix have a 2 in 3 chance of ending up heavier in the long term!

Do you see the box near the top of the page?
The one labelled ‘Search for questions: ‘?
Well type in ‘lose weight’.
You will find over 474,192 pre-existing questions.
Try the misspellings ‘loose weight’ and there are another 109,707.
In all there are over half a million Health section questions requesting solutions to being or thinking you might be overweight.
On average these each yield 6 answers, that is over 3 million answers.

I can usefully summarise these answers in 4 words:

EAT LESS DO MORE. Are you desperate enough to try this???

I need a list of food for GERD diet any help?
I am not talking about Dieting for losing weight. I need a diet for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease.

Start out with a bland diet. Avoid any foods that caused you problems before your diagnosis, such as cruciferous vegetables, citrus fruit, onions, garlic, hot peppers, hot pepper seeds, even black pepper. Anything that might come up should be avoided. You will feel much improved with a bland diet, and lose weight anyway. You can find the bland diet on the internet. Basically, it is white foods, like rice, white bread, steamed or poached chicken, lean fish, white potato. I had read somewhere that lamb was alright, so I have eaten lamb when on a bland diet. Also, don’t overeat, and avoid stress. After eating, don’t lie down. If you need the head of the bed raised, you might need to have a riser placed beneath the mattress. I would really cut down just to make sure I could handle a given item, replacing gradually. Ask the gastroentologist for a printout of what to eat.

What is a good Diet that fights cancer, and all the other bad health diseases

That’s easy just eat healthy: 5-10 servings of a VARIETY of fruits and veggies everyday, beans and lentils and whole grains. If you choose meat and dairy make sure it’s lean and eat two servings of wild salmon each week. Drink plenty of water and green or white tea. If you drink coffee, drink no more than 2-3 cups a day. Don’t eat processed foods and cut out anything with sugar added - natural sugars like the sugar from fruits is ok.

Good luck.

I recently started having bouts of IBS after having my baby 10 months ago. I am having a hard time losing the baby weight and need to start myself on a lifestyle change that will help me live a healthier longer life. Can cutting out high fats and fried foods help the IBS-I know they are bad for me and help with the weight gain but wasn’t sure about the IBS issue.

Hello,
Yes cutting out fatty foods will help you out.
Here is a site with info for you.
Congrats on your baby and good luck to you!
