my frd is 230 pounds weight , what should she do ?, should she go for surgery or diet pills?

Answer 1

Your friend is beautiful just the way she is.

Beauty must be defined as what we are, or else the concept itself is our enemy.

To see beauty is simply to learn the private language of meaning which is anothers life - to recognize and relish what it is!

Why languish in the shadow of a standard we cannot personify, an ideal we cannot live?

Answer 2

If your friend is serious about losing weight. Instead of taking diet pills that can harm you she should look at something that in natural. I sell a product called Herbalife which has been around for over 25 years and is sold to 62 countries around the world. Over 4 million people take the products and it has helped them lose weight and stay very healthy. I am taking the products and have lost 10kgs in 6 weeks and have lost 12 inches all over. I am not that large but there have been heaps of people that are and have lost the weight taking these products. There was a man in the US that was over 290 pounds on the products he has lost over 200 pounds. It is true if you want more info. you need to contact me to see if i can help.

Answer 3

What is age???

None of the two alternatives please.

Generally you gain weight because of fats deposits, just dissolve them. How?

People go for losing weight by pills or starving. Operation is very rare. I think no committed doctor will recomand operation with out medical reasons.

Pills do not act effectively and for longer durations. Pills have many side effects for your health.

Starving weakens you and your defense system is also weakened. This makes you less resistant against infactions and other diseases.

The best way is to lose weight by change of diet and your physical activities.

1. Reduce or stop to take oils and fats.
2. Stop taking sugar and glucose. (Mainly tea, coffee & cold drinks.
3. Stop taking potato, rice.
4. Reduce wheat and corn as much as possible.

Take vegitables, boiled meat, fruits (even sweet).

And at the top of all:

Walk at least 40 to 60 minutes twice a day.

You will start losing weight to the extent of daily difference.

Answer 4

If your friend is 5ft 8in tall, or taller, She isn't too overweight, for possibly being able to lose weight at a slower rate. However, if she is under that height, I would sugget weight watchers and the Y.M.C.A.. She needs to learn how to eat well ballanced meals and work out several times a week. The worst thing she can do is take diet pills. She would have to be morbidly obese, to consider surgury. Also, her age would factor into that type of extreme measure.

Answer 5

Hoodia!

Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.


**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---

#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!

#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!

#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.

#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!


You can read a good article about how it works at:

Answer 6

no diet pills, she's probably just under surgery requirements. She needs to change her eating and exercise more. the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me. Also for more info on the benefits of water go to www.watercure.com Good Luck! Honestly if you need anything else don't hesitate to IM me, krista_girl86 even if you don't pick me as best answer, i'd be happy to help. Also check out the website for the tv show The Biggest Loser on NBC. There are many, many helpful facts on there.

Answer 7

Krista is full of crap:
"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "
BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.
"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."
More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."
WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.
"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "
More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients.

Don't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

Answer 8

She shouldn't do any of those. Surgery will leave her in debt forever and diet pills have certain side affects

She should eat less of what she eats it can be the same food just less and do a daily on hour walk every day
it works

Answer 9

She should just snort cocaine... it's cheaper. haha just kidding. She should try to loose weight by diet and exercise and if that doesn't work then try surgery. Never do pills, they are bad for you and can cause long term side effects such as heart problems, etc.

Answer 10

I am 245 and am losing on Weight Watchers. I have lost 65 and am healthier now that I have been in years.
