Answer 1

your mistake - looking at diet as something to "go on" so no surprise when you get "off" you gain it all back because all you lost was water weight and muscle and slowed down your metabolism which makes a huge contribution to yo-yo cycle.
Diet is a way of life and you have to change yours if you seriously want to lose fat and keep it off.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Well, first of all, there's just no way to get around the basics of exercising more and eating less. If your combined basal metabolism and calories burned through exercise is less than what you eat, you cannot lose weight. This is physics and law of conservation of energy, don't even think of trying to get around this one.

That's not to say that it doens't matter what diet program you use. In fact, if your blood sugar stays pretty high because of the foods that you eat, your insulin levels have to stay high as well to deal with all that glucose. And guess what? Insulin inhibits the fat burning cycle. You can't burn any fat, even if you ate less than normal amounts. So, avoid snacking on high glycemic foods all day, and that includes drinks with a lot of sugars. If you are serious about losing weight, maybe you should not only get an accurate weight scale, but a blood glucose meter as well, so that you can check to see if your glucose levels are where they should be. If they stay too high, you won't lose weight, and, worse, you could end up being diabetic.

My final advice to you is that you establish a long-term habit of eating right and exercising, and wait for your weight to drop to ideal. Any "temporary" diet-and-exercise program will absolutely fail once you're off of the program, and your body is going to hold that against you next time. Don't expect or try to lose more than 1 to 2 pounds per week maximum, if you want to keep it off permanently. Your body needs time to "forget" what it used to weigh, and it sure has got a long memory.

Answer 3

Weight loss is more a mental game then a physical one.
In this generation, we want everything "fast, NOW, HURRY UP!"
This is why losing weight is so hard: pressure.
Use this info darling:
Eat good foods in good amounts. If starting a diet don't cut more than 500 calories at first, and remember that a body is in "starvation" mode when 1200 or less calories a day are taken in.
Move around. Any motion is good motion. Dance your heart out, sing, bike with friends, clean up the house, etc.
And finally be strong and smart.
Keep a positive outlook through the roughest times, never put yourself down, and know that time will be good to you.
Best of Luck love!

A good way is to start getting fit. It may take ages but it is worth it. Go down to your local park/oval and start by running half a lap, then walking half and continue this until you've done 8-10 laps all up. Each week run that extra bit further and walk that little bit less. Your fitness will improve tremendously and you will start to see some changes in your weight.

Another helpful tip is water. Drinking about 3 litres of water (max) per day flushed your body of toxins and bad stuff like fat.

In the morning before breakfast, get warm water, add the juice of half a lemon and a table spoon of honey. This burns of the fat from the previous meals the day before. Before you go to bed, consume a table spoon of honey. This helpes your body burn extra fat while you sleep. Its fantastic and it works.

Fat burning foods include: citrus fruits, berries, carrots, apples and milk.

Half an hour before each meal, if you can stand the taste, consume a table spoon of Apple Cider Vinegar with warm water. This burns off the food as you eat it. After the meal, drink a glass of warm water. This melts down the fat.

Well I hope this helps.
Good Luck

Answer 5

Muscle weighs greater than fats, so it might be that you're gaining muscle even as wasting a few fats. If you turn the scrambled eggs for poached eggs and even egg whites (the yolk has the ldl cholesterol and fats), that might be a small step toward seeing outcome! =) Also, take a look at consuming much less at dinner. You may have a small snack like a fruit salad, granola bar, yogurt, or raisins within the afternoon even as your metabolism remains to be up. By night time, your frame burns much less energy for the identical types of events you do in the course of the day. Lastly, DRINK A TON OF WATER!!! The extra, the bigger. It continues you fuller, your frame functioning successfully, and you wish to have plenty due to the fact that you run most likely. You will have to start to look outcome in a few days to per week. Signiciant outcome are over an extended interval regardless that. Good success!

Try this Therapy sincerely and regularly for at least 15 days and observe its wonderful and amazing result.

Obesity : This is due to :

1. Malfunctioing of Thyroid/Parathyroid gland and late on other endocrine
glands e.g. malfunctioning of Pineal gland leads to retention of water and
excess water in the body and leads to excess fat.

2. Underworking of Sex glands mainly in ladies after delivery of a child.

3. Overeating i.e. taking more calories than required by the body.


C U R E :

Take minimum 3 liters water in a day.

Take Acupessure treatment on all endocrine glands twice daily.

2. During pregnancy and after delivery, take treatment on all the endrocrine
glands. After delivery, increae heat in the body, take the acupressure
treatment.

3. Drink charged gold/silver/copper water daily two glasses reduced from 4
glasses.

4. Drink hot to lukewarm water only during the day and always after meals.

5. In the morning in one glass of hot water add juice of half a lemon and one
tablespooful of honey. Drink it. That will reduec the desire to eat/drink
sweets.

6. Chew food at least 15 minutes

7. Drink 3 to 5 cups of green juice a day adding 1 teaspoonful of health drink
to each cup. This will help to reduce the body very fast WITHOUT ANY SIDE
EFFECTS.

8. Eat plenty of salads adding 100 grams of sprouted cereals like Mung. Also
eat two seasonal fruits + 1 glass of buttermilk.

9. Avoid all food if possible. However, in spite of the above diet, if you
feel very hungry, take preparations of only wheat or only rice. That will
rduce the intake of food. But eat this food only when you are very hungry.

10. Do Pranayam + Ling Mundra + Jogging+Skipping+swimming + Acupressure.



NOTE :

EXCESS WEIGHT :

In the case of females,damage to endocrine glands of Thyroid/Parathyroid is very common. Moreover, their Sex glands are damaged during pregnancy or delivery because of worry. And so when these two endocrine glands do not function properly, these women start putting on weight more around the waist. Because of damage to these two endocrine glands, sometimes even Pineal gland is damaged and so there is more retention of water in the body, which is also one of the reasons for excess weight.

When such patients come, their obese figure obviously shows their problem which can be confirmed by pressing on point nos. 8, 11 to 15 and no. 3. At this time of checking, it is advisable to check other endocrine glands too, so you can locate any further damage, if any. for cure, first it is necessary to treat these two endocrine glands for 15/20 days and only then start dieting and treatment on not only these two endocrine glands but also on the other endocrine glands. I have treated many cases,where the weight loss was from 2/3 kgs to 10 kgs per month. Once the weight has reached normal then ask the patients to continue Acupressure treatment and they will be able to maintan their weight and pleasing figure.
