Is It Ok to Have Unsweetened Almond Milk on a Weight Loss Diet?

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , , , , , — Tracy @ 7:01 am

A tough weight loss question this week. Let’s dive straight in

Question: I normally have fat free milk which is about 90 calories a cup, 13g carbs and 0g fat. I recently tried un sweetened vanilla flavored almond milk, 40 calories a cup, 2g carbs, 3g fat. It tastes really good too! I was wondering if I can have a cup of it per day on my diet…is taking 3g of fat from this a bad idea? How many grams of fat per day are you supposed to eat on a weight loss diet?
Answer: Yes, the almond milk is much better for you. The carbohydrates are what gets converted by your liver into fat that gets stored on your stomach and hips. With this substitution of almond milk for fat free milk, you’re getting 11g fewer carbohydrates and the fats that you get will be much healthier for your body than the casein (milk protein) that you would have gotten from the milk. In addition you’re skipping all the hormones that are naturally and un-naturally added to the milk. Those hormones cause you to grow and store fat too.

A popular diet for weight loss is Zone diet. It has 30 % calories from proteins, 30 % calories from fats and 40 % calories from carbohydrates. Unfortunately, you didn’t give height/weight, so I can’t estimate the number of grams, but here’s an example:

5′ 8" girl is 170 lbs and wants to lose weight. Her starting BMI is 25.9.
If she went down to BMI 22.0 she’d be about 145 lbs. With a bit of light exercise she’d need 2000 calories to maintain her weight at 145, and might need to cut to about 1750 or 1700 calories to lose weight safely at 1 to 2 lbs per week. BMI isn’t always right, but it’s pretty good for average people who are not professional athletes or body builders. Each gram of fat is worth 9 calories, so when losing weight on 1750 calories x 30 % fats / 9 calories/g = 58 g of fat in diet per day. No more than 10 g should be saturated fats according the the US govt suggested diet.

Is There Such a Thing As a Safe Weight Loss Tablet?

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: — Tracy @ 7:02 am

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: Is there such a thing as a legal, safe, weight loss tablet and where can you can such a thing?

Thanks

Answer: Unfortunately all drugs have side affects, given the fact that weight loss can be achieved without using pills the risk would seem to outweigh the benefit. The "herbal remedies" tend not to have any actual effect beyond placebo, however if you take something pharmaceutical you may well achieve significant weight loss however the side affects are likely to be severe, for example orlistat prevents your intestine from absorbing any fat, so the fat is excreted several minutes after consumption, some have described it as "orange oil", other drugs work by appetite suppression these tend to be similar to amphetamines (speed), and you run the risk of heart problems, addiction and rapid and extreme weight loss, people who use diet pills will often "yo yo" anyway with no substantial sustained weight loss.

If you want to lose weight the most important thing is to go on a calorie controlled diet, it doesn’t really matter what you eat (see link) providing the calories are less than the total recommended for a women of your age height. Exercises can also help but recent studies show that they are not as important as once thought, finally an easy way to suppress your appetite is have a pint of water before a meal.

Remember only diet if your BMI is above 25, dieting when normal, or underweight is a sign of mental health problems. If this question is regarding your own weight I saw your picture and you look just fine.

Weight Loss Advice PLEASE?!?

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , , , , , — Tracy @ 7:01 am

Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:

Question: I am 19 5′3 and 175lbs How could I lose some weight but still keep my good hips and breasts? I have an hourglass figure which I am proud of but some excess weight which I’m not proud off lol :P My problem is this though-I used to be slightly anorexic in my early teens due to anxiety,panic attacks and general ill mental and physical health but since I’ve become better in the last 2 years I’ve been putting on a lot of weight compared to what I used to weigh-6 stone. I have been told that it’s just my natural weight because if it wasn’t it would be easier that what it has been to lose it because it takes someone with extra fat faster to lose it rather than a person at their normal weight trying to lose some. So yeah,what could I do? Any recommendations? :) Thank you!
Answer: Okay well work more your legs. Like do squats , lie down on your back and pretend you’re on a bike move your legs as if they would be on pedals , do sit-ups to tighten the tummy , and push-ups can be good too. If you want more exercises just type on google : weight loss exercises.

For the food , don’t eat too much or too little. Eat as you would regurlarly , that way the weight will come off burnt as calories (and not cause you’re starving yourself and by the way if you do that the weight comes back on in a few days) . The weight’ll come off naturarly. So don’t worry (:

I’m a girl , 5′5 , 120 pounds. But you’re not that over weight , do you want to check your BMI ? it tells you if you’re skinny , normal , average , fat , obese , etc. I’ll link the site below just i case .

Hope it helps.

EDIT : Almost forgot , drinking water before meals or instead of like coke helps a ton !

Do Weight Loss Tablets Work?

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , , — Tracy @ 7:01 am

Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:

Question: Do they actually work? because Ive been trying to diet for so long and i just don’t have the strenth to commit to anything anymore. I just HAVE to eat. (I think im depressed so that does not help AT ALL) Im not rushing into anything, but do weight loss tablets work? They might be my only hope of losing weight for summer :) Thanks
Answer: They work but it comes back for most. See a bariatrician and try. If that doesn’t work, the only science backed (and usually insurance supported) process is bariatrics surgery. It works but has risks. Everything else is just fooling yourself or superhuman willpower the rest of your life.

What Do You Think About My 'weight Loss' Spell?

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , — Tracy @ 7:01 am

A weight loss question that should definitely interest you all this week

Question: This is the charm:

Recharge, restart, rejuvenate,
For this time I shall lose the weight,
I’ll try new things to help me through,
Fore this time I shall succeed in what I do.
This will be a long haul———-I would like to change this line
But I’ll be strong and conquer all.
I’m confident, and sure I’ll find,
I have respect in body and mind,
For these thirty days, I will be great,
and I’ll have for my life, a healthy weight.

What do you think would make it sound better? How can I clean it up…What should I change?

Answer: This spell is PERFECT the way it is. Now to make it work, a ritual is needed. I suggest at least TWICE a week (three is better) you get off your tail and exercise. Then, cut back on cheeseburgers and Taco Bell and greasy, fried foods. Take in fewer calories. Do that and this spell should work GREAT.

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , — Tracy @ 7:02 am

What’s this week’s weight loss question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: Well i bought the new just dance game and it makes me sweat and gets my heart pumping. is dancing good for weight loss?
Answer: Awesome! If it is something you love and will and can keep up with keep at it… Loosing weight is about consistancy.. If you can work out atleast 3 times a week you should be able to shed away fat.. Although you may not actually loose weight because you probably will gain muscle which actually weighs more… So I wouldnt weight myself, you should notice your clothes slowly get loose. :)

I’m a 15 year old boy.
Height: 5′5 or 5′6
Weight: 175lbs

Areas of fat: Mostly belly, in thighs, not so much legs, and not so much neck or arms.

Is this weight loss plan good enough? Should I add anything? Should I take away anything? Please feel free to be as critical as possible.

Answer: Your exercise plan looks really good, but some of your food choices are a little vague. For example, how many servings of fruit are you having? This should be a planned priority in a diet for weight loss. Yogurt is another excellent addition to any diet and is proven to aid in fat metabolism. Rice however is a fairly empty calorie filler food, even if you eat only brown rice…still mostly carb calories (which are very easy to over eat in this form) I would suggest adding stir fried vegetables to your diet and decrease your rice portion as much as possible. You need a mid morning snack too, as from 7 am, its a long time to 2pm and you will no doubt get hungry, which can lead to overeating. I recommend a cup of yogurt and an apple as a snack twice a day…under 200 calories, but very satisfying. Also fyi, wheat and gluten are proven to add pounds and puffiness from water retention, so….these things are best in moderation (try it for a few days and you will see a difference) PS you cannot target fat loss per se, you can only build and tone muscle in specific areas…which does makes things look smaller! So I would say go wheat and gluten free for a few days (rice is fine) and see how you feel. And eat as many fruits and vegetables as you can. Good luck reaching your goals!!
