Weight Loss Suplements

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Any weight loss suplements that ACTUALLY WORK?
   Umm I was searching online but nothing really popped out. I wanna know if any of you guys have tried a weight loss suplement that worked (it's not for me, my mom lol) anyways, I don't want her buying anything that's like a scam. Thanks!

   • ANSWER:
     nooo. diet pills don't work... they don't actually burn fat ..they curb your appetite sooo your not hungry and they dehydrated you making you loose alot of water ... and that creates the illusion that youve lost fat but insted youve just lost water.... (benefiber) is good for loosing weight its not a pill its just fiber and fiber helps you metabolize carbs

2. QUESTION:
   Protiens, work out, and weight loss suplements?
   I am involved in MA and would like to know which ones are worth taking and what ones would help me performe better. I am 5'11" and weight between 168-172 pounds. I am in pretty good shape and I dont have alot of body fat.

   Please only answer if you know what you are talking aboout!

   • ANSWER:
     Optimum nutrition and Sci-Fit are two good brands of protein that mix well and are easy on the pocket book. They don't taste TOO bad. (most protein supplements taste like crap)
     Creatine is pretty good stuff but don't go through the "Loading Phase" your body just flushes the extra anyway. I personally will not use any fat burners because of the stimulant effects. They are hard on your hart.
     With the protein try 1.5 grams per body pound per day.
     You will have good gains with this level of intake.
     Good luck

6. QUESTION:
   I lost about 20lb already but I can't seem to lose anymore. Should I start taking weight loss suplements?
   I went down from 173lb to 155lb over about three months. I didn't really diet I just watched what I ate and exercised. Over the last month or two my weight has been going up and down. It's gone back to 159lb and its gone down to 151lb. I cannot seem to get out of the 150s range. My goal is 135-140lb. I knw I've lost weight. A lot of my clothes are much looser and some are too big. I'm not satisfied because I would like a flat stomach, leaner thighs, butt, and arms. Will a weight loss suplement help?
   I don't really want to diet because I love to eat but I'm willing to do it and commit to it. Is a low carb diet a good idea?

   • ANSWER:
     Probably the best way to do this would be to change up your exercise program. Are you using weights?? Do interval cardio activity for at least 3 days a week also. Do weights 3 times a week and make sure you are active everyday. By that I mean take a walk or two, even if it is only 15 minutes. Exercise should be changed about every six weeks to shock your body into shedding more weight.

7. QUESTION:
   Weight loss methods, suplements, tread mill?
   I have a tread mill i am 6.2" around 14 stone. what is an effictive way to lose weight in the mid section. i have a treadmill shoold i take a suplemnt like fat stripper. risks benifits?

   • ANSWER:
     treadmill is good for cardio and fatburn programs,the difference between them is the heart rate and how it effects the fat cells. fatburn means your heart rate shouldn be over 50-60% of maximum hr and it works more for the deeper fat and muscle tissues and it should be done for at least 40 min. cardiois good to build up stamina and to burn calories. i recommend that you do a mix of both and on the days you do fatburn you should do sit ups and crunches too to get better results in mid section. drink loads of water and herbal teas instead of taking supplements because then you wont have the risk of yoyo effect if you stick to it. have fun working out, you will get there!

8. QUESTION:
   What is a fast but healthy way to lose weight?
   Without using weight loss suplements?

   • ANSWER:
     1) Learn why you overeat--you can diet all you want, but you need to know WHY you overeat in the first place.

     2) Learn moderation in eating--don't take out your favorite foods, just learn to be satisfied with less.

     3) Find activities that YOU enjoy. I always suggest joining a gym. We just joined Gold's Gym for /month (family) and they offer personal training for your areas you want to lose.

     4) Set small goals and work up. Don't set a 50 pounds goal over 4 months; set a 5 pound goal each month. Also learn how to depend on measuring. Muscle weighs more than fat, and if you lose 40 pounds but gain 20 pounds of muscle, you're going to feel better AND look better.

     5) Don't count calories and fear them. Embrace calories but don't fear them. Understand that you NEED a 2,000 calorie diet. If you go any less than 1500, you need to constul a doctor.

     6) Reward yourself for every 5/10 pounds you lose. Buy some new shoes! Get a haircut! Do SOMETHING!

     7) Drink water--8-11 glasses/day. Juices are fine, but don't drink more than 2 glasses a day. Also, limit yourself on alcohol.

9. QUESTION:
   Acai berry weight loss questions?
   I know this isn't really a N/B question, but I figured most of you have tried everything to lose that baby weight. My son is a year old, and I still have 20 lbs to go to get back to my pre-baby weight, and it's all settled to my thighs! I've tried everything: dieting, running, walking, other excercise, but it still won't come off! My question is, have any of you tried the acai berry weight loss suplements, and if so, how did it work for you? Does it help with all problem areas, or just your belly? Wanted to get a few responses before I go ahead and order this stuff.

   Also, anyone know any other ways to get rid of extra weight around my thighs other than what I've already mentioned? I want to fit into my old jeans again! I could button them around my waist if I could just get them up over my thighs and tush!

   • ANSWER:
     "There's no evidence whatsoever that diet pills made with acai (pronounced a-sigh-EE) will help flatten tummies, cleanse colons, enhance sexual desire, or perform any of the other commonly advertised functions, the CSPI warns in a news release Monday...

     "There are no magical berries from the Brazilian rainforest that cure obesity -- only painfully real credit card charges and empty weight loss promises," Blumenthal said in a statement."

10. QUESTION:
    I really need to loss weight?
    Not me but my Mom she wants to loss over 150 pounds but she doesn't know what product to use.She was thinking about Lipozene and Sensa if she should try it.I personally think weight loss suplements don't work good if your lossing allot of weight. ya know you allways see skinny type people using these product and advertising them or you see known people in magazines/famous using them to make others use the product. So is there anything good of a product out there she wants to know.. She had the weight on her for 20 yrs now. there's a gym called fitness 19 She was gonna join because for yrs I told her the only way to really loss weight is to follow a eating regiment and exercise regular but she never believed me she would rather take a pill she allways said. If you have any tips on eating well for her or what she should do or any exercising tips leave a comment I would appreciate thanks!!

    • ANSWER:
      she is trying to lose 150 pounds, that's a great goal to shoot for! I myself have lost around 75 lbs in 1 year, and I went through a lot of different programs and supplements so i wrote about the best 10 here http://www.losetheweightonline.com/?page_id=174 . Supplements were really not the way to go, they are very dangerous to your health, go with the all natural ways listed on the website and i guarantee she can have at least 50 pounds gone in a year, with very little work and maybe even the whole 150 pounds if she sticks to it.

11. QUESTION:
    I need advice on weight loss, getting health,&&fit. Exersice, diet, && diet suplements.?
    I'm about to start getting really serious about getting my body back.
    I had a baby abt 3months ago. I weigh around 140. I was around 120 before. && I want to get back to that and how my body looked.
    My stomac is still pretty flabby. I've been working out a little, but I need to know what to do to get the best results the fastest.
    I want to het back down from a size 11 to a 7 jeans.
    And get my stomac back flat and tight like it was.
    How should I start this off? Should I do any kind of detox?
    What should my diet consist of && what should I stay away from?
    What kind of exersices will have the best results? How often should I exercise?
    Do you know any web sites that will answer my questions better?
    Should I use any kind of diet suplements? Or viteman suplements?

    • ANSWER:
      Getting back to your normal size is going to take some hard work, but you can do it; I have much confidence in you and can tell that you are serious..

      First things first:

      A Natural detox would give you a head start on helping to shrink your stomach, however the best food you can take in for this is FIBER.. taking in at least 40 grams of Fiber per day will help you jump start your weight loss efforts..

      If you like Tea, try to get a cup of green tea, which has an antioxidant called catechin in it to help trigger weight loss, and a cup of Dandelion tea, which helps to rid the body of toxic waste...

      Eat at least 1-2 apples per day.. Apples have a component called pectin in them that aids in weight loss...

      And as always, find a good multi-vitamin you can take every single day..

      Stay away from simple carbs and sugars and eat more whole grain products like whole wheat bread, barley, brown rice, Kashi Cereal (Great for Breakfast:), broccoli, and lots of salads with low -fat dressings..

      You should combine both cardio exercises and weight training 3-5 times per week.. Start off doing 20 minutes on the elliptical or bike and increase the intensity every minute for 5 minutes then go back down in intensity then back up until you reach 20 minutes..

      With weight training, start at about 2 sets of 20 reps for lean tone, working your upper body one day and your lower body every other day.. with a rest in between..

      The only supplements you need right now is Omega 3 Fatty Acid, Flaxeed Oil, and Cascara Sagrada.. These work wonders in weight loss..

      I hope this helped you..

      I am committed to helping people from all around the world lose weight and feel good.

      God Bless,

I don't know how to get this when I dislike alot of foods that are good for me. I am also studying for my A levels this year so I have hardly any time to exercise. I'm in school 4 days a week from 8 in the morning to 8.30 at night. I find it really hard to focus on losing weight and studying. I also have no motivation or will power.

    • ANSWER:
      Find ways other than eating to express love, tame stress, and relieve boredom. For instance, you might make your family a photo album of special events instead of a rich dessert, sign up for a stress-management course at the local hospital or take up an active hobby, like bowling.

14. QUESTION:
    Serious Weight loss, The usual suggestions arent working
    Ok Just a couple things to start. I'm NOT Anorexic, and I'm NOT Bulemic! I have no interest in being underweight and I'm trying to gain weight. That Having been said... I have been underweight all my life, I'm 32 and 6ft tall and 125 pounds. I have tried eating more, eating as unhealthy as possible, (Bring on the High Cholestoerol! - If only that were my problem) I"ve tried shakes, digestive aids, protein suplements, vitamins, laziness, eating before bed... Nothing, the only weight I gain is the weight of the meal I just ate. And most of it comes out later. When I was younger i felt that I was ok and just needed to grow out of it, but when? ONe problem is that I sometimes feel that I cannot eat or I will throw up, ( I dont! I havent thrown up for years and that time I had the flu) especially when I try to eat sweets or suggary snacks. The things I do seem to be able to eat are vegetables, fruits, Ice tea, and other things that are supposed to be healthy, Especially this is true in the morning, and it makes it extremely difficult to eat breakfast, but this tells me that something is wrong, I'm usually not even very hungry and have to force myself to eat. I do often feel tired and lethargic, and sometimes get these little electric surges that i've kind of learned to atrribute to starvation. I go through times when I can only eat just a little bit at a time, and If I try to eat alot for lunch, I can barely eat any dinner, its almoast as if my body does not know how to eat or process food properly. Alot of people say they wish they were me but trust me you shouldnt, this is not healthy and I'm affraid if I let it go to long its going to kill me, but my doctor does not have a solution other than eat more (I'm trying! it aint workin!) Has anybody had anything similar? Thanks.
    Ok, I appreciate the suggestions for snack Ideas, but I resent being told I trained myself not to eat. And I have never smoked. I suppose I forgot to mention in my question, that I've been trying for years now to turn this around and pushing myself to eat what I can when I can, and have been using all these suggestions for the past few years, thus what I say "The usual suggestions arent working" Eating more is not working! and I dont need a doctor to tell me to eat more, I need to Identify possible other causes. THis is not a case of "Oh i'm just not hungry so I wont eat" this is why am I not hungry I need reasons? Thank you for your responses.

    • ANSWER:
      Eating those types of foods are not good for you. Your body will work to eliminate it quicker.

      For some reason your body knows that telling you it's hungry does little. It's kinda given up on you. You need to start making yourself eat. Starting with breakfast. Doesn't have to be big. Eat 2 eggs and a piece of toast with a nice glass of water. at 10 have a nice snack. Some nuts (high in calories but great for nutrition) a few ritz crackers, some fruit. Have a soda to wash it down. For lunch eat some kind of yummy pasta with sauce and some veggies. Make sure throw in the afternoon snack as well. Some more nuts, cashews are great for this problem and some more fruit. Again, wash it down with another soda. Dinner, Make yourself a decent meal. Mean, potato, veggies and fruit. Then throw in a snack half way between dinner and bed time. Eat some buttery popcorn. right before bed drink a small protein shake.

      You don't have to be hungry to eat. Almost every person out there eats at times other than when they think they feel hungry. You can eat as small of portions as you'd like. I don't care if you feel like you will throw up. Eat it anyway. You sy you want to gain weight but then you say you won't eat because you feel you might throw up. You can fight the feeling of being sick. fight it hard. Eat. your body will become adjusted to eating and will, after a few weeks, want to start eating. You have to train yourself to eat. Just like many have to train themself to not over eat. Same concept. My suggestion about the soda should be for caffeine free soda's only. You don't need a caffeine problem.

      you trained yourself to not eat and your body is paying for it. Until you retrain your htinking and eating, nothing will change. Eating junk won't help you. There are many obese people that are starving to death. Starvation doesn't mean skinny. Your body needs the right foods with nutrients and vitamins in them to maintain your body. Yes, you are starving to death. Yes, it can lead to huge issues that lead to an early death. Yes, you are killing yourself. Yes, you can change it. But you have to really really want too.

      I used to smoke and would talk about wanting to quit. But i didn't REALLY want to quit. The day i decided i really wanted too, i changed and did so. 125 pound 30 year old... not too sexy. Those who would claim to be jealous aren't. Not if they would see you. Not if they knew they had to starve themselves. People are jealous that when they ae so active that they can eat and keep the weight off. that's what people really want and are jealous of.

15. QUESTION:
    Does fish oil pills cause weight loss? I'm trying to GAIN weight...?
    I read on here today that taking fish oil suplements can make you loose weight. Is this true? I have been desperatly trying to gain weight as I am 19, 5'1 and 85 lbs. I really want to gain weight. Will taking fish oil everyday keep me from gaining? I take one capsule a day.

16. QUESTION:
    Fat loss suplements?
    Ok well, i been doing some thinking about fat loss supplements and i was wondering... are they really necessary to obtain a goal? Do they actually work? And if they do work, is it because of the ingredients in them, or do they simply change the mindset of the user and motivates them to exersize and eat right therefore they loose weight. Are supplements more of a "all in your head" kind of thing ? What are your thoughts about them?

    • ANSWER:
      some of them bond with the fat particles making them almost impossible to digest, the side effect however is things like anal leakage and explosive dierrah. but for the most part you are correct, the active ingredients in most dietary supplements are so mild you may as well just take a big fat placebo

17. QUESTION:
    21 day weight loss help?
    Starting January 2, me and some friends decided that for 21 days we're going to try to lose as much weight as we can. Should i fast for those 21 days? Or only eat salad's? Or what? I plan on doing Interval Training too.

    Note: My mom has Juice+ which is basically suplements of vitamins and minerals so i won't be low on anything.

    • ANSWER:
      Dont fast!!!! if you fast or strave urself it will be harder for you to lose weight coz ur body will put itself into a starvation mode, where it stores every intake calories into fat! work out 4-5 days a week or 6 days but not everyday coz u will feel exhausted and you might want to give up later on. on the day that u dont exercise do brisk walking. like when u go shopping just try to walk quickly and continuously for 2-3 hours. however the best exercise which i experience myself is running or jogging outdoor it burns so much calories, much more than u run on the treadmill! to eat do the calories counting 1400 calories each day will make u lose weight more than a pound each week if u do exercise most of the week! to speed up your metabolism and suppress ur appetite natuarally eat something spicy or putting any black pepper or chilli into your meals. stick with veg and fruits as well as wholegrain, like brown rice or wholewheat. and if you wanna lose weight quick do not eat red meat like pork, lamb, beef as well as processed food like sausages or ham, have skinless chicken breast, fish or prawn instead. you will lose weight quick and still gain some protein! baking, grilling and boiling food will be the best choice for you! hope this helps!

18. QUESTION:

Pretty much eliminated all complex carbs and fats. Ive completley elimintaed junk food/soda/fried food/sweets/etc. I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and take liquid acai suplements a few times a day. I exercise 5 days a week for 2 hours and do about 75-100 crunches a day before I go to bed. I get 8 hours of sleep every night.

    thank you for your help

20. QUESTION:
    why can't i find a good diet?
    I'm 17 and overweight. I want to lose about 2 stone in weight fast. I HATE vegetables, fish , salads and nuts. Everytime I look at diets on magazines it says to eat all this stuff. I generally dislike healthy foods so this is really hard for me to achieve. I rely mostly on fast food and foods high in carbs and fat.

I know this is probably impossible to find but if anyone has any solutions or knows about any diets suitable, leave me know. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      You are going to have to make yourself more of a priority. You might think about balancing all of your school work with your physical health. Just a thought. No magic pills here but if you really do want to feel and look better then take that energy and make a plan.

      Have you ever tried a yoga class? Perhaps a Bikram yoga class would be a good choice for you. It is a beginners class but it would get rid of toxins and relax you. It also helps with cravings of bad foods.

      I think it is important you find some sort of exercise that you enjoy. So, if not yoga, walking, dancing around the house..anything helps.

      Also is there any good foods that you like at all? As an example if you just love french fries, try just microwaving a potatoe with some veggies instead. You are still getting the starches just not all of the fat. I would try and remember that fast food adds a ton of unknown calories and those companies are not looking out for you at all. They prefer you stay unfit so they can keep getting your money.

      I would really do my best to stay away from fast foods and especially any soft drinks, including diet colas. it isn't just the way you look but the way you feel and this all starts with the foods you are eating.

      good luck!

    • ANSWER:
      Hi,

      I graduated high school at 240 pounds and at 5 foot 3 that made me about as round as I was tall. I was one of those overweight teenagers who ate anything and everything without any regard to the effects it was having on my own body. Therefore, I began the diet pills, which did not work; I ate the special diet foods and even began drinking diet beverages. None of this stuff worked for me, just as it does not work for millions of overweight people. Eating less did not work and I was not one to work out or even get up and do anything remotely related to exercise. I knew I would look silly and it would hurt. I never thought or really cared about the health effects this would have on me, back then.

      A year ago after a successful weight loss plan, now at 120 pounds, it is a major difference. I've lost 30 pounds in the first month. The most significant change in my life is the amount of energy I now have and the way my clothes fit loosely. Everyone close to me and people I haven’t seen in a while are amazed and tell me that I look really good. This is a life changing experience for me although at first I was skeptical about the weight loss plan.

      Our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life.The weight loss program has proven to be effective in the short and long-term, without need to endure starvation and without any daily athletic workout. (But taking a light exercise every few days is highly recommended). Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight The weight loss program is affordable by all and do not need to pay a monthly fees to use it. In contrast to diet pills regime where you need to buy it on a regular basis and you will gain more weight when you stop taking it.

      The success has inspired me to help others and i am sure you won't be disappointed. Get your free "Top Fat Loss Tips" and discover how you can become noticeably thinner in 15 days by eating in a way you'll actually enjoy.

23. QUESTION:
    how can i get a flat tummy?
    I'm 17 and overweight. I want to lose about 2 stone in weight fast. I HATE vegetables, fish , salads and nuts. Everytime I look at diets on magazines it says to eat all this stuff. I generally dislike healthy foods so this is really hard for me to achieve. I rely mostly on fast food and foods high in carbs and fat. I keep gaining weight and I'm obsessed with looking at peoples figures and it really depresses me that I'm heavy. I would love to have a completely flat stomach and toned body. I don't know how to get this when I dislike alot of foods that are good for me. I am also studying for my A levels this year so I have hardly any time to exercise. I'm in school 4 days a week from 8 in the morning to 8.30 at night. I find it really hard to focus on losing weight and studying. I also have no motivation or will power. I really want to be thinner and I think i'd gain alot more confidence if i was thinner also. I want to avoid taking dieting pills or any weight loss suplements. I know this is probably impossible to find but if anyone has any solutions or knows about any diets suitable, leave me know. Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      You said you don't like healthy food, but you can find ways to trick your body. I would first of all cut out the fast food. It's hard, I know, but it is worth it in the long run. It's draining your wallet and adding inches to your waist--not good! So, instead of fast food, try making yourself some cold-cut sandwiches with turkey breast (which is low in fat) with whole-grain bread and sneak some veggies in, like lettuce, bean sprouts, or tomato.

      If you can't tolerate the veggies in your sandwich, try this little trick: put tomato, green pepper, onion, and carrots into a blender. Puree it and use this as a juice to cook your chicken in on the stove in a dutch oven. Or, you can marinate chicken breast in a ziploc baggie overnight.

      As far as salads, if you truly don't like them, don't eat them. Find another way to get your fruits and vegetables. A great way to get fruit into your diet is to cut up some apples and put a little peanut butter on a plate. This is a great snack because it's high in fiber and in protein, and the sugar from the apple is natural.

      I would recommend drinking lots and lots and lots of water. The key to weight loss is to hydrate. That being said, always make sure to balance the water you drink with the foods you eat: don't over-hydrate.

      Workout-wise, try starting off walking 1/4 mile one day, then 1/2 mile the next, then eventually build up to a point where you can brisk-walk 2 miles a day. Once you can do that, try running intervals: run a bit, like from one telephone pole to the next, then walk. Then run again, then stop. This will get your heart rate up but not tire you out like distance running would. For more information on interval workouts, visit http://www.best-running-tips.com/interval-running.html.

      Hope this helps! Good luck

    • ANSWER:
      1. Drink plenty of water. Our body needs a lot of water so give in to water. Water is not just way to flush out toxin but if you have more water in your body you will generally feel healthier and fitter. This it self will discourage any tendency to gorge. The best thing about water is that is has no calories at all.

      2. Start your day with a glass of water. As soon as you wake up, gulp down a glass of cool water. It’s a wonderful way to start you day and you only need a lesser quantity of your breakfast drink after that. A glass of water lets out all your digestive juices and sort of lubricates the insides of your body. You may have your morning cup of tea but have it after a glass of water. It is good for you.

      3. Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

      4. Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another way of making yourself full so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster. SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water’ It’s amazing! Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so much space to it, above.

      5. Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

      6. Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.

      7. Eat fresh fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. Juice is often sweetened but fresh fruits have natural sugars. When you eat fruit, you are taking in a lot of fiber, which is needed by the body, and fruits of course are an excellent source of vitamins.

      8. If you do have a craving for fruit juice then go for fresh fruit juice instead of these that contain artificial flavors and colors. Or even better, try making your own fruit juice taking care not to sweeten it with too many calories.

      9. Choose fresh fruit to processed fruits. Processed and canned fruits do not have as much fiber as fresh fruit and processed and canned fruits are nearly always sweetened.

      10. Increase your fiber intake. Like I mentioned, the body needs a lot of fiber. So try to include in your diet as many fruits and vegetables as you can.

      11. Go crazy on vegetables. Vegetables are your best bet when it comes to losing pounds. Nature has a terrific spread when it comes to choosing vegetables. And the leafy green vegetables are your best bet. Try to include a salad in you diet always

29. QUESTION:
    Is it possible to get thin fast while still being healthy?
    I found a protein drink and I calculated that, combined with nutritional suplements, if I only had that for meals I would get all my daily nutritional needs except calories of which I would have very little. So, I think it would cause a ton of weight loss very fast while keeping me from getting malnourished. However, would losing a lot of weight fast be intrinsically dangerous or is it that most of the time in order to do so you have to deprive yourself of nutrients
    I am allergic to acai berry. It caused a very nasty rash when I drank it.

    • ANSWER:
      .Under 1200 calories a day for females and around 1500 or so for males, is too low. Doesn't matter if you are eating perfectly healthy foods, you must eat enough of them for your diet to be considered healthy.

      Fast weight loss pretty much means fast weight re-gain. Anything over 3 lbs/wk is too fast to be healthy. The faster you lose, the more difficult to keep it off long term. You can't keep starving your body (with too few calories) forever, so when you start to eat more properly, weight gain will tend to occur.

      Eating not enough calories slows your metabolism which means your body is burning fewer calories throughout the day. When it runs out of calories to burn from the food you feed it (or beverage) it's more likely to turn to muscle tissue for energy instead of fat, because muscle tissue requires more energy to maintain...thus it will get rid of the high maintenance tissue first and save the fat for later. You end up with loose skin and a flabby/soft body. Not pretty.

      Do it once, and do it right...eat right and exercise and focus on hitting your healthy goal in a reasonable amount of time. You didn't get fat overnight, don't plan on losing it overnight.

31. QUESTION:
    how is this workout to lose fat and keep muscle?
    i know that if i just go running for an hour each day ill lose weight, but this will be muscle too, which will inturn slow down fat loss overall and mess up my metabolism. so this is my workout plan for both.

    mon : warm up 10min - weights 45min.
    tue : warm up 10in - steady high cardio 30min (rowing machine)
    wed : push ups, abs 15 min - 15 cardio warm up - 15min high intencity interval training.

    repeat thur - sat and rest sunday.
    ive done this so i dont overtrain but do real work in the time im there. want to lose ideally about 10lbs.
    my diet is ok...im vegetarian and am going to step up suplements for more protein.
    im male 5'9 and 176lbs.

    any thoughts about the programme?

    • ANSWER:
      building muscle doesnt slow down fat lose or metabolism. it actually increases the amount of calories burnt and boosts the metabolism.

      but it sounds great to me. im a veggie too so dont forget about the protein. thats the most important thing for muscles. good luck.
