First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.


On Yahoo!Answers I find certain questions being asked repeatedly which is simply a reflection of new people participating. A couple of common questions amount to "How do I lose weight," or more specifically, "How do I lose abdominal fat?" I have gotten very positive responses from my answers when I paused to reply (and now beginning to get "It works!" emails that are very gratifying. I like helping people)... so have recently decided to put a good solid answer on my Yahoo!360 Blog (September 10) that I can point people to. These are my thoughts as a physician and athlete.

Don't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful.

There is no site specific way of losing fat... the old myth about working your abs to burn belly fat isn't true. To get rid of love handles, you need to lose overall fat. That happens with exercise and watching your diet. More on that below.

The most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode.

Another overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.

To lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.

For diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet.

Fat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.

There is a subset of questions that goes further and asks about "How to get a six-pack?" The answer is the same. Six-packs are 20% abdominal exercise and 80% diet. There is one caveat... abdominal muscles will form in the position that you work them, so be certain to pull them tightly toward your spine while doing crunches, etc. Also, during most lifting, the "core is active" which means that you should be stabilizing with contracted abs then too. Fail to do this and the abs will form, but bulging outward and the result is not attractive.

If you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.

The first thing you should know is that if you stop eating, or only eat a little bit, your body will think it's starving and save every bite you take and store it. So eat up, just eat the right kinds of food. The only way to lose weight is to eat less calories than you burn. That being said, you need to exercise and eat a low calorie diet. The recommendations for losing weight is a high intensity cardio workout for at least 60 minutes most days of the week. If you add a little strength training in there, say 3 days a week, your body will burn calories when you're resting. Now, you want to eat the maximum amount of food for the least amount of calories (Calories also give you energy.) You can only get energy from 3 sources: carbs, protien, and fat. For every gram of carbs or protein you eat, you get 4 calories. For every gram of fat you eat, you get 9 calories. (Keep in mind that 1 tablespoon of sugar is about 5 grams.) So for for the most amount of food for the least amount of calories, you should look to eat whole grains and lean protein. This includes unlimited fruits and veggies, plus whole wheat bread, brown rice, chicken (not fried, and w/o skin), ground turkey, low-fat or skim milk. Also, you should only lose 1-2 lbs a week. Any more than that and your body will think you're starving.

bread and pizza are about the worst things u can eat. bread has LOTS of carbs and pizza is like 345 calories a piece. try to cute back on those. if u reallly want pizza then try eating a small slice with some fruit or vegetables. otherwise eat everyhting in moderation, drink lots of water, stay busy so u won' tthink about food, and exersize. try eating low fat things, too.

Try watching fat grams! I don't remember how many a woman is required to have a day but during the week I would limit mine to no more than 20 and on the weekend I would pretty much eat what I wanted! If you do this you can have just about what you want,just don't go over your fg limit! It works!
