3. QUESTION:
   Are there any weight loss recipes that actually work?
   Hi, I'm a girl, I'm twelve, I'm 5 1' and I weigh 105...

   Is there actually a recipe to help weight loss? Because I get tired of eating the same thing everyday, my school is nut free and I'm too young to workout at any gyms, It's hard for me to lose weight. My mom and my friend are dieting with me to keep me motivated. I have karate on Monday and Thursday, I have Piano on Wednesday, I have singing lessons on Friday and on Saturday and Sunday I have to practice this East Indian dance thing to present at this multi-culteral event. So basically, I'm busy, fat and I want to lose 25 to 30 pounds. PLEASE HELP!!!

   • ANSWER:
     You do NOT need to lose weight. You would be so unhealthy and probably weak and sickly if you lost weight.

     Since it sounds like your mother is supporting you losing weight please talk to another adult that you can trust. A doctor, counselor at school, teacher, friends parent, someone, anyone!

     You are NOT fat. No one should go on a diet at your age unless they are obese.

4. QUESTION:

     Here are a few places you might want to visit...

     http://www.tonyferguson.com/weight-loss-recipes.aspx

     http://www.weight-loss-health.com.au/recipes_home.htm

     http://www.weightwatchers.com.au/plan/www/rsc.aspx

     Make sure you visit your local book stores, there should be plenty cook books which contribute to weightloss.
     If you are looking to lose weight, remember to choose healthy fats for example avacado, rather than unhealthy fats such as chocolate. Keep away from too much sugar and exhange full cream milk to skim. Drink plenty of water and do regular excercise.

     A good idea for weightloss is making a light soup filled with plenty of different vegetables. Hope I helped.

7. QUESTION:
   Are there any weight loss recipes that actually work easily?
   I tried many diet, but easily rebound, I lack of confidence...

   • ANSWER:
     I eat only natural unprocessed food but I still eat meat and plenty of it. I don't even crave these types of food anymore and there's a clinical reason for this. Processed foods are packed with various ingredients that dramatically and quickly increase our blood sugar, when this spike drops our bodies increase our craving for them. This vicious cycle then carries on making us crave more and more of the food that makes us gain weight. Once you decrease your processed food intake your body stops craving them, this can happen surprisingly quickly and once this begins you'll wonder why you ever started eating processed food.

10. QUESTION:
    What are some weight loss recipes for women?
    weight loss recipes for women

    • ANSWER:
      Try adding "calorie burning" activities to your daily routine. Simple ones might not need that much extra time but if you then keep at it they will add up.
      Maybe when you get home,,. instead of walking in just go round the block once. Or take the stairs instead of that elevator. Once a week, skip dinner but have a piece of celery instead. Whatever you do, stick to it, then when it has become routine, add more.

11. QUESTION:
    Does anyone have any good weight loss dinner recipes?
    I need very healthy dinner recipes for my family. Preferably from a weight loss cook book.
    thanks
    xo

    • ANSWER:
      The fact that you are on a diet does not mean that your food must taste like diet food. In the contrary! If you want to lose weight effectively and in a healthy way, with a high chance of preventing it from coming back, than you must enjoy what you eat. Because that's the only way how you will continue to eat this healthy food.

      The problem why many fad diets fail is simply that you can't keep on eating like that. And even if a restrictive diet does help you to lose weight - as soon as you finish the diet and return to your old eating habits, you will almost certainly pick up weight again.

      But if you make lasting changes in your lifestyle and start eating healthier instead of going on a diet, then you have a high chance that you will not only lose weight but also keep it off afterwards. A healthy diet and weight is a lifetime commitment, not a 6-weeks affair. Eat healthy and you will be healthy, that's the secret.

      Try these three low-fat dishes that don't taste like low-fat at all! They are healthy and easy to make, filling, high in nutrients and low in calories. And they are not "diet meals" but something you can enjoy.

      Spicy Vegetable And Mince Curry

      Ingredients

      * 2 tbsp. canola oil
      * 1 tsp. ground cumin
      * 1 tsp. ground coriander
      * 1 tsp. crushed chili
      * 1/2 tsp. turmeric
      * 2 tbsp. lemon juice
      * 700 g lean minced beef
      * 600 g butternut, diced
      * 500 g carrots, thickly sliced
      * 600 g potatoes, diced
      * 500 g sweet potatoes, diced
      * salt

      Steps

      1. Heat the oil in a large pot. Fry cumin and coriander for about 1 minute, continuously stirring.
      2. Add turmeric, chili and lemon juice and mix well. Add minced meat and roast it briefly.
      3. Add the vegetables, mix well, cover and roast for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
      4. Season with salt and serve

      Vegetable Soup

      Ingredients

      * 1 small marrow, cubed
      * 1 tomato, cubed
      * 1/2 stick celery, sliced
      * 1/2 onion, chopped
      * 1/8 cabbage
      * 1 bay leaf
      * 1 1/4 l vegetable stock
      * oregano
      * salt, freshly ground black pepper

      Steps

      1. Bring the vegetable stock to boil, add the vegetables and bay leaf and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are just soft.
      2. Season with oregano, salt and pepper.
      3. Serve with whole grain bread.

      Pasta With Mixed Vegetables And Cashews

      Ingredients

      * 200 g whole wheat pasta
      * 4 tbsp. canola oil
      * 3 red chili, chopped
      * 1 small onion, chopped
      * 80 g cashew nuts
      * 2 red and 1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
      * 150 g green beans
      * 1 tin corn

      Steps

      1. Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the instructions on the packet.
      2. Heat the oil in a large pan, fry the onions and chili for about 3 minutes, occasionally stirring. Add the cashews and fry for another minute. Add pepper and beans and stir-fry for 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are just soft. Then add the corn, mix everything well and allow the corn to heat up.
      3. Drain the pasta and serve it with the veggies.

      All three recipes make four servings. They are based on large portions of vegetables and foods rich in complex carbohydrates (potatoes, whole grain bread and pasta) which will fill you long before you could possibly overeat. They provide you with important nutrients whilst being low in calories. No or little fat has been added to the recipes, and the ingredients are rather low in fat. This way, you can lose weight and still enjoy delicious meals of a reasonable portion size.

12. QUESTION:
    Need some weight loss recipes have nay good ones?
    It's a new a year and I want to start eating better

    • ANSWER:
      This one is full of fiber and fills you up...Lentils and potatoes-pour 3 cans of broth (any kind) in a pot. Add 1 chopped onion and about 3 carrots-chopped. Bring to a boil and cook for a min or two just until the vegetables start to soften slightly. Add a 1lb bag of lentils-drained and rinsed-and cook for 30min (it may not take this long-watch them). Stir in 1tsp salt, 1tsp cumin, and some pepper. Just before serving, add a couple of large handfuls of baby spinach. Serve over baked or boiled potatoes or rice. Sometimes I saute the veg. first and add garlic to the recipe...then add the broth&lentils to the pot...bring to a boil and simmer 30min...

      I got this one out of Cooking Light magazine...Chicken Larb...
      2T red curry paste

      Combine curry, chicken,and salt in a food processor; process until smooth. Heat canola oil in a skillet and add chicken mixture. Saute until done (abt 6min); stirring to crumble. Turn off heat and add cucumber, shallots, cilantro, and lime juice. divide mixture evenly among the cabbage leaves and eat like a taco. Makes 4 servings of 2 filled cabbage leaves per person...174calories per serving. YUMMO! and EASY

    • ANSWER:
      I know just how you feel and I do believe that it is possible for you to loss weight that amount of weight by august 24. So what I suggest is that you eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegtables and water. Lots of water. Also do about a hour of excercise a day, I suggest jump roping for 20 minuts, few minuts of dumbbell excercise, and maby some yoga. And also a half hour of brisk walking or joging. Do this every day but you are welcome to switch it up a little. Also for eating strategies you should eat slow or slower so you will have time to feel you stomach and you are almost garenteed that you will eat less, cutting down calories. This is all I can think of at the moment but you can also ask you doctor for things you can do and ask friends or reletives. Hope I helped you and just remember I bet you are beautiful now so don't change for other people, try changing for yourself and for your health!

15. QUESTION:
    what are some good weight loss dinner recipes?
    or a web site??

    i know dinner can slow down weight loss, but what are some good dinner tips & recipes that i can cook for me & my husband?

    (=

    • ANSWER:
      Good site with plenty of recipes to choose from. Just click on the ones that interest you.

      Eat before 6 pm and nothing afterwards unless it is light. Drink you water everyday and stay away from the fatty foods (frying, sauces and such). It is important to understand what happens when you skip a meal or go on a crash diet. When you skip a meal your metabolism slows to conserve your energy. And when you lose weight too quickly for a few days, your body thinks it is threatened with starvation and goes into survival mode. It fights to conserve your fat stores, and any weight loss comes mostly from water and muscle.

      Never skip a meal, especially breakfast, and eat healthy snacks between meals. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs and the binges that follow, provides consistent energy, and may be the single most effective way to maintain metabolism efficiency.

      Eating slowly gives our bodies time to tell us they are full before we've eaten more than we need.

    I am looking to lose 80 pounds and my son wants to lose 25. We are both physically fit otherwise but running is out until we lose the weight. Walking is no problem and we just purchased a gazelle. I'd love to join an online fitness guru but don't believe in credit cards. Please send us your recipes and any tips you have. We love to swim and will be going to the public pool also.
    Thank you.

    • ANSWER:
      Drink lots of water. If you can decrease pasta and rice portions by half and fill the rest of the plate with steamed veggies.Dont keep junkfood in the house. If you want ice cream, can you walk to the place to get it? I find if I tell myself that, I usually dont even want it by the time Im there.
      As far as joining an online thing, just buy a visa check card. You can use it online like a credit card but there are no bills and you control how much is on it.
      Also check out dwlz.com. for free chat and tips. They use weight watchers but all ppl are usually welcome.She also lists point values for food.
      Salsa is great I put it on everything lol. And red pepper. I have to lose about 50 lbs myself. Good luck. You can do it.

    Does anyone know any good weight loss smoothie recipes?
    I tried looking online and I found nothing so can anyone on here help me out? Thanks:)

    • ANSWER:
      Retaining excess water can make you feel bloated. It can also make your wrists, ankles, hands and feet swell and your face look puffy. Sure, you have probably learned that the best way to lose water weight is actually to drink more water. This is absolutely true. In fact, water weight is usually a sign that your body is "scared" to lose any more water and as a countermeasure is retaining it like a camel. The thing is, you are not a camel!

      Here are 5 tips for fine-tuning your water weight loss plan:

      Tip #1: Get a 32 oz. or 64 oz. refillable container: You can find these little babies for very cheap at almost any discount or sporting goods store and they come in all kinds of cool designs. Buy them not for their cool designs, however, but rather for their amazing capacity: you can really put a lot of water into these things. And, unlike a conventional cup, their portable design encourages you to carry them wherever you go. If you drink just 1 - 2 of these mega-containers' worth of water each day, your body will start shedding the excess water that it has been holding onto for dear life for so long.

      Tip #2: Add a little lemon or lime: To your mega-container, add a squeeze or two of lemon or lime. These citrus fruits act as natural diuretics, and their refreshing taste makes the water go down that much easier.

      Tip #3: Eat lower sodium foods: Sodium and water weight go hand-in-hand. When you drink more water, your body is freed to release some of its sodium stores. Conversely, when you switch to a lower sodium diet, your body will tend to store less excess water. Bonus tip: cutting down on diet sodas will cut your sodium intake significantly.

      Tip #4: Try a natural diuretic: Diuretics help your body flush water weight. But prescription diuretics can be rather harsh on your system and often cause intense diarrhea. Try a natural diuretic such as an herbal-based one for a gentler, healthier experience of forcing that excess water out of your body.

      Tip #5: Sprinkle in some exercise: Yes, that weight loss panacea, exercise, comes in handy for helping you to lose water weight, too. Bonus tip: choose exercises that work the areas of your body (e.g., wrists or ankles) that need the most help in losing water.

      Drinking more water is the cornerstone to a water weight loss strategy. Adding a bit of citrus to your water, taking natural diuretics, eating a low sodium diet, and doing concentrated exercises can also help you shed that weight. Losing water weight is the first step to looking sexy and feeling great with a comprehensive weight loss plan.

      Take care...

22. QUESTION:
    What are your weight loss secrets and recipes?
    I would love to lose about 20 pounds. I am a carboholic and I don't have much time to exercise (I know, it's so bad) So, if you love carbs and tend to not really exercise that much, but yet you have figured out an easy way to lose weight, please please please share! I emphasize easy.

    • ANSWER:
      One of the solution for your food is to consume a lot of sushi. Sushi is filling enough yet does not contain too much fat like in other carbs dishes. Salmon, tuna and eel sushi contain approximately 200 calories per four ounce serving. The number is cut by half if the sushi uses Shrimp and octopus.

      Another solution is to consume brown rice instead of white rice. If you love sandwich or bread then you can try my negative calorie sandwich. Basically it is a sandwich composed of a lot of negative calories ingredients. I am not saying you can lose 20 pounds w/o exercising, that's plain impossible unless you do surgery.

      Ingredients:

      100 grams of cooked chicken fillet. Cut it so that it can be fitted into sandwiches.
      2 slices of whole wheat bread. Slice it diagonally.
      Four slices of tomatoes. Cut the tomatoes vertically, each cut is around 0.5cm in thickness
      1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
      4 tablespoons of low fat mayonnaise
      2 slices of cucumber. Peel the cucumber and remove both end. Then slice it.
      1 teaspoon of chopped celery
      1 teaspoon of olive oil
      3 tablespoons of plain low fat yogurt
      Salt, pepper and tomato ketchup to taste

      Instructions:

      Sprinkle the cooked chicken fillet with salt and pepper. Then mix the yogurt, mayonnaise and lemon juice in a bowl. Dip each chicken pieces into the dressing mix before putting it on the bread. Then arrange the cucumber, tomatoes and celery on the bread neatly. Last, sprinkle it with the olive oil and the remaining of the dressing.

26. QUESTION:
    what are some good recipes for weight loss?
    i just wanna lose a few pounds but i don't really eat healthy at all. i can't really cook very well are do i have a lot of time.

    • ANSWER:
      Eat fresh fruits and veggies with each meal or as a snack (go easy on high calorie dips). Eat lean meats, whole grain breads and cereals, and drink small amounts of skim milk for calcium. Drink lots of water. If you only have a few pounds to lose, switching from whatever it is you drink now to water will help. It is amazing how mancy calories are consumed simply through beverages! A 20 oz bottle of soda, which most people drink in one sitting by themselves, is actually 2 and 1/2 servings! Watch the calorie and fat content on the labels of the foods and beverages you consume and loosing a few pounds should be easy.

      Be sure to get moving...whether it's an exercise routine, walking the dog, or housecleaning.

      Good luck!

29. QUESTION:
    I'm on diet, but I always hungry. Any weight loss recipes make me feel full and healthy?

    • ANSWER:
      It sounds very much like you have bought into the INDOCTRINATION that is creating more problems for people than disease itself. Weight loss that focuses on 6 meals per day, high carb intake, low fat, etc., is very destructive and just BAD INFORMATION from people who either have a profit agenda like Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem, etc., etc. or are just plain ignorant of how the body works.

      Carbs are like the kindling on a fire that give you quick, fleeting energy, blood sugar spikes, excess cortisol production and plateauing (not being able to lose beyond a certain point). All this is designed to cost you money and give you bad health. The idea of not eating fat seems reasonable, but is just born out of ignorance.

      Fats give you long sustained energy. When you eat lots of fats, the adipose tissue secretes Leptin hormone that signals your body you are NOT starving and keeps your metabolism running strong. Eating lots of carbs tells your body you ARE STARVING and slows your metabolism.

      A good weight loss program will leave you full and satisfied and a steady loss of weight until you reach your goal. A blood sugar handling diet done for 2 weeks gets rid of all the cravings and then a diet skewed toward eating fats, low carb, and modest proteins will give you the best results. Get the book called "Eat Fat, Lose Weight" by Mary G. Enig, Ph.D. Become educated and throw out the indoctrination.

      Whatever you do, AVOID SOY. Soy is loaded with goitrogens that slow your thyroid down that reduces your metabolism. Soy inhibits protein digestion and depletes your body of minerals, especially iron (over 50%). It is loaded with heavy metal aluminum that greatly affects your thyroid negatively. SOY is a really bad joke being played on Americans. Get the book called "The Whole Soy Story" by Kaayla Daniels. A peer reviewed book, well documented, and comprehensive.

      good luck to you

    • ANSWER:
      More and more spend hundred and even thousands of dollars yearly on weight loss supplements in the hope of speeding up their metabolism. The main desire is to be attractive and accepted but it is becoming a more difficult goal to achieve. The fitness industry is booming but still a lot of people are unable to cut those fat in spite of all the exercise and diet efforts. In America, more than sixty per cent of adults are overweight and thirty per cent are considered obese. This is because: one, a lot of weight loss products promises unrealistic goals; two, dietary supplement manufacturers rely on the overweight person’s failure to survive; and three, the information about the supplements in the market are just written by themselves just to make a sell.

Quick and easy. You can use all kinds of veggies so constantly change it up, as well as different kinds of seasonings and lowcal salad dressings (raspberry vinegarette works well also!)

    Can someone please give some advise as to weight loss recipe for a person living in west africa?
    I am trying to loose weight but all recipes i come across online contain ingridents that are not easily available or are too expensive here in Nigeria. It is a bit difficult to find variety when the staple food around here is rice, yam, cassava and generally carbohydrate. All i get to eat is basmati rice (someone said it has less starch, i hope its true), beans, vegetable and fruits, this is getting a bit boring. Breakfast is ok cos i have variety of cereal like oat, weetabix, all bran, fruit & fibre e.t.c. Dinner is usually soup or fruit or vegetable (again). Am looking forward to some interesting menus to break the boredom that the diet has become.

    Vegan weight loss - recipes?
    I'm looking for vegan recipes with a low amount of calories (preferably not more than 500 calories per serving) that are still somewhat filling. Salads and soups are a given, but what else can I eat?
    @ Defending the truth: I probably should've mentioned that I don't live in the US, and getting my hands on faux meat is a bit of a problem. Thanks, though.

    • ANSWER:
      A website that should help you out is:
      http://blog.fatfreevegan.com

      She specializes in cooking low fat, low calorie vegan meals. I believe she has the nutritional info for each recipe as well, which is helpful.

50. QUESTION:
    Does Anyone Have Any Creative Weight Loss Recipes?
    I'm 19 and my husband is 22, we both have full-time jobs and are incredible busy, he is a computer technician that works a regular 9-5 job at a software developer and he runs his own business. I work as a sales representative for a wholesale shoe business, with a desk job that requires some but not much physical activity. I've always been a bit over weight and even though I just lost 30 pounds, have plateaued to 140, I'm 5'4 and do not consider myself fat, just I do have a few pounds to lose.My husband on the other hand, is 6'0 feet and 240 pounds which really worries me, he is a food lover of everything that is edible. And like I said, we are both extremely BUSY people so it's hard to do groceries or take 30 minutes to walk everyday, but we do it anyway.

    I've tried putting us on a "diet" which consists of 6 day's of healthy eating and one day of eating whatever we wish.

    But I've grown tired of the food I've been cooking which has been salmon, rice, beans, chicken, veggies, more chicken, we have steak once a week, and some sort of pasta, whether it's spaghetti or fettuccine Alfredo once a week. I've noticed that the same things are sooooo boring and have found it hard to actually incorporate VEGETABLES in our diets. Fruits are easy, veggies are hard.

    The recipes online are filled with vegetables that I don't even know what they are or how to prepare. I've tried researching online any simple food recipes but the ones I have tried are just NOT my taste.

    Anyone have their on recipes or an online source that has regular easy recipes for everyday people that don't know how to pouch and what not?
    BTW....

    It's not that I don't have time because I have a 9-5 job. Like I said... we run our own business and going to open a store in Jan meaning we have absolutely NO time... except for today that I took a day off but my husband is STILL working (he's been out since 8 am, will get home here at 12 am to wake up at 6 to go to work again, and we work 1 hour from where we live so add 2 hours of commute everyday). So it's harsh when someone accuses us me of not working hard, of being lazy, of working less so I can just get "paid". No... I work hard because I want my hard work to make ME wealthy, not to make other people wealthy through MY hard work... But like I said, I've been putting us on a diet plus excising at least for 30-45 min a day. SO don't be harsh please .

    • ANSWER:
      i dont have a specific answer for you, but i can tell you that juicing your vegetables, if you can get used to the taste, is extremely beneficial for your body, and can help boost your metabolism. i went on a 5 day juice cleanse, i juiced my own vegetables, added a small amount of fruit for taste. i found recepies in First magezine, they have creative healthy recipes so check them out. anyway, i lost 4 lbs that week, and felt great to boot! btw i am 21 and 5'3, about 145lbs. i know how it feels to want to get rid of just those few extras here is what i usually had for breakfast, but keep in mind, you have to get used to the taste, and tweak it where you need to...if you cant handle the celery taste, omit it, i did some days.

      Juice all this together:
      1 Beet
      3 Carrots
      2 Apples
      2 Celery stalks
      1/2 inch ginger root (for taste)
      1/2 lemon
      ( i added fresh spinach sometimes, but unless you have a high grade juicer, its better to put spinach in a blender)

      substitue apples if you want, i added it to this recipe to add some sweet. also any red fruit boosts metabolism as well, such as red grapes. good luck
