Question

To lose weight you shouldn't have over 20 cards.What foods have ver little carbs?

Answer 1

Hi,

I've been helping people stay healthy for a more than 20 years and I can tell you that losing weight requires a combination of both exercise and caloric restriction but with a proper nutrition balance.

Whomever gave you the information concerning the restriction of carbs (i.e., that you shouldn't have over 20 carbs per day) is incorrect. Both your brain and your muscles operate on 100% carbohydrate glucose (obviously both are built by other nutrients but their energy comes from carbs). So, if you restrict carbs too drastically your diet will fail quickly.

If you want to lose weight in a healthy manner don't be in a rush and keep the following in mind:

1) Check with your physician to be certain that you are physically able to reduce your calories and increase your exercise habits safely.

2) Make certain that the calories you are eating are as balanced as possible. Finding out how much protein, carbs, and fats your body needs on a daily basis can really help keep your energy levels high all day long. The #1 reason my clients tell me that they've stopped dieting or exercising in the past is because of low energy ebbs. Splitting the amount of calories you can have per day into 5 - 6 smaller meals will help tremendously (this keeps your body fueled and ready to go and you also know that your next meal is only a couple of hours away).

If you need help selecting good foods I suggest you get either Sugar Busters or the Zone. Neither of these books have to be taken as gospel concerning weight loss but they do contain good advice that will help you make better food choices.

Knowing what your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is will certainly help you determine how to be calorie conscious. Also remember that you may or may not need supplements to help things along.

3) While exercising (before, during, and after) be sure to consume enough water. The key is not to be 'thirsty' (overtly) during this time of exercise.

4) Adding weight bearing exercise (i.e., lifting weights) will help to tone your body and the thermogenic (fat burning) effect will last long after you've stopped working out -- even if your workout is simply walking).

5) Remember that you'll probably hit plateaus (times when you'll stop losing weight) several times during your weight loss progress. This is completely normal and is only temporary but it can last for a couple of weeks at a time. It is very important to remember that even if your scale isn't showing progress, your entire body is being positively effected by your efforts.

6) Measure different parts of your body (neck, upper arms, lower arms, chest, abs, waist, belly, butt, thighs, etc.) and do it accurately. Write these measurements down and check them once every 2 weeks. This will help you remember that your body is 'reducing' all over -- not just in one particular area. If you're weight training you may actually notice a slight increase in some areas of your body (don't worry -- if you're a woman you won't start looking like a bodybuilder).

7) Keep focused on your end goal and concentrate on losing maybe 1 pound a week -- sometimes you'll lose more, sometimes less. As long as it's an average, it's okay.

8) Lastly, remember that attempting to lose weight if you are overweight is a WONDERFUL thing.

If you've just begun, keep up the good work. If you're about to begin, congrads!! I've worked with hundreds of people in the past 20 years (mostly women) who have lost (individually) HUNDREDS of pounds safely. Better still, they've kept it off -- Kay lost over 350 pounds and has been at her goal weight for 7 years now.

As for what to take (if anything), that depends entirely on what your body needs. Anyone who suggests that you take something that 'works for everyone' is either confused or deluded. For example, if you had a twin brother or sister your bodies could react completely different to certain supplements or foods on a metabolic level. If you want to learn more about what you might want to take and how to calculate your BMR, you can visit my site (below).

Of course there are several over-the-counter supplements that can help a person lose weight by either stimulating the burning of fat (these should be used sparingly if at all), by suppressing the appetite (supplements such as Dr. Bill's Choice Pure Hoodia, some Omega 3, 6, & 9 supplements, and a couple of others have been shown effective for this and they are non-stimulating), and by increasing the amount of brown adipose tissue (fat) that your body has available to use for energy (the exact supplement your body might need to do this would have to be determined case-by-case).

As a final note, if you are female, hormones could be an issue that might need to be addressed to facilitate weight loss. I work with a number of women (in the hundreds) who have found this to be the case.

If you have any questions about losing weight or about diet and supplementation, don't hesitate to write and ask.

Answer 2

Okay I misplaced plenty of weight, over 100 kilos and feature commonly performed it limiting carbs. But you can't get via and feature a healthful existence on NO carbs. It does not make any feel to take action. Fruits will continuously be top in carbs. Veggies, in case you keep on with the golf green ones, have very confined carbs. Also, whilst counting carbs you have got to subtract grams of fiber from whole carbs. So in case you devour adequate broccoli for five grams of carbs, but it surely has five grams of fiber (I did not investigate this, I'm inventing numbers right here) then you definately honestly can say 0 carbs ingested. But besides, you are not able to be triumphant on no carbs. Just recall inexperienced greens and lots of them, a wide variety. Why are you consuming most effective the egg whites? You are not able to do low carb and coffee ldl cholesterol even as. You could have any meats you wish, any fish you wish. All the golf green vegetables you'll maintain. Cheese (so much types besides). Nuts will also be eaten carefully, tofu in case you adore it, once more carefully.
