Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: k i am 5′7" and weigh 120 pounds.. and im trying to lose about 5-10 pounds. if i cut my caloric intake to 850 calories per day and i burn at least 400 of those calories off per day doing swimming/tennis/cheer/tumble, will i be able to lose the weight? do you think this diet thing will be effective? tips?
Answer: 120 lbs at 5′7" is like, the ideal weight for your height…instead of trying to lose more pounds, I’d suggest trying to maintain that weight.
If you take in 850 calories and burn 400 of them off, you’re only taking in 450 calories, which is *definitely* not a good idea. Your body will be deprived of the nutrients it needs to function. A good calorie intake per day would be anywhere from 800-1200 calories. The average girl eat about 1200-1700 calories per day, so by reducing it to 800-1200, you will lose weight in a healthy and effective way.

Question: I am looking to lose 70 lbs without being hungry or binge eating. I am doing this on my own and I do not want some 20 year old who weighs 90lbs telling me about how to lose weight. ( no offense).
I am serious about losing weight and being healthy, and I want to do this correctly without pills, or shakes. Any ideas???
Answer: How to Lose Weight quickly naturally:
1. With Drinking Water
For those of you are confused by how to lose weight, rather than looking for ways that are difficult and confusing, why not try a simple way to lose weight by drinking at least 2 liters of water per day. Because water helps the metabolic processes in the body to convert food into energy needed. Here, white water also serves as fuel to drive metabolic reactions of the body. So if you do not drink water, then you can not burn calories.
2. Sports
Sports it has become common knowledge as the most reliable ways to lose weight. And maybe this way need not be discussed again because so many have written about this.
3. Food
From some research on foods that can help you lose weight, the experts have to say that there are certain foods proven to be a useful food fatherly lose weight. That food is grapes, Sardine Fish, Fruit Pumpkin, Beef eaters consume meat from grass And the last was Green Tea.
4. Do not Consume Alcohol
One way to reduce unwanted calories consumed is to reduce alcohol drinking. Some desire to drink alcohol because of the perception generated by alcohol in the form of taste and relaxation effect. But that is not widely known is that drinking can also be caused by thirst and hunger. Maintaining order not to thirst and not go to bars or restaurants when hungry can press your alcohol intake.
5. Familiarizes Breakfast
Breakfast is often mistrusted as a way to lose weight, but found no useful breakfast to lose weight. If you have breakfast in the morning, you can reduce your consumption of lunch. enough bananas, yogurt, cereal, bread and other snacks for containing plenty of fiber and protein will give you a sense of satiety until it was time for lunch.

What’s this week’s weight loss question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: 7am pre workout oatmeal with protein and peanut butter
10am post workout protein shake with water ,fruit
12 am half a sandwich
3pm other half
5pm meal replacement shake
7pm protein shake with milk
also i forgot i workout 6 days a week
Answer: This is way below the number of calories you need to increase your metabolism, you will only lose muscle mass on this diet not fat.
Eat 5-7 small meals a day, it’s better to get your protein from lean meats instead of solely from shakes. I would have 1 shake a day and eat more chicke, tuna, almonds, and turkey.
You want about 1g of protein per lb of lean muscle mass that you have.
I’m a beachbody fitness coach from the guys that make P90X, whatever you do don’t listen to the first post!
Also make sure the bread is whole wheat. Cut out sugar and drink plenty of water.
Don’t eat a lot of carbs and make sure the ones you do are complex carbs.
Carbs have nothing to do with growing muscle it just controls the energy that you have, but bad carbs will make you gain fat.
I was on a low carb diet for 6 months and gained more muscle and lost more fat than I ever have.

Question: i’m really tired with weight loss.sooo tired :(( i’m always on diet.i swim,go to sauna and do aerobic.i even used weight loss pills but nothing happened.i dunno why i dont lose any weight.
can somebody give me suggestions pls?dunno what to do!
Answer: When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together.
If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which
will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow
underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without
exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For
diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food
after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on
your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If
you don’t eat wheat then you don’t eat all those sticky, fatty goey
cakes, you don’t eat junk food, and you don’t eat biscuits. But your
diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to
calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising,
start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the
most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a
lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack,
disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target
your problem areas for men and women. It’s not necessarily to become a
bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you
to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
What’s this week’s weight loss question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Yesterday I ate around 1200 calories and burned 400. The day before I ate around 750 calories. And even though I am eating very little, I am not losing weight? Is it because I eat too little that I am not losing any weight? If I eat around 1400 tomorrow, will I lose weight? I am 16 and female by the way.
Answer: Mindy’s diet, just so you know, is about 1000 calories for the whole day.
One important question is what is your BMI now? If you are already thin enough that you just need to drop the ‘last ten vanity pounds’, the way to do it (apparently) is to eat your resting burn worth of calories and exercise over the top of that in order to trick your body to let go of those pounds- and even then there’s a lag time before your body will let them go and it’s extremely difficult.
Also, you may be surprised at how many calories you actually burn in a day, or don’t. Especially if you are short or petite in build. My wife gains weight on anything more than about 1200 calories a day because her resting burn is just not very high.
*edit:
Also, just wanted to chime in and say that I agree with Bashful Bondage Bunny. Varying your calorie intake- and especially having a cheat day where you go ‘over’ (although you don’t necessarily have to have junk food, you can also go with niceties that your body isn’t used to, such as frozen yogurt, deli cheese, etc) seems to be extremely helpful to the process.
Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question:
GI = glycemic index
GL = glycemic load
Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…The glycemic index (GI) is a numerical system of measuring how much of a rise in circulating blood sugar a carbohydrate triggersâthe higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low GI food will cause a small rise, while a high GI food will trigger a dramatic spike. A list of carbohydrates with their glycemic values is shown below. A GI is 70 or more is high, a GI of 56 to 69 inclusive is medium, and a GI of 55 or less is low.
The glycemic load (GL) is a relatively new way to assess the impact of carbohydrate consumption that takes the glycemic index into account, but gives a fuller picture than does glycemic index alone. A GI value tells you only how rapidly a particular carbohydrate turns into sugar. It doesn't tell you how much of that carbohydrate is in a serving of a particular food. You need to know both things to understand a food's effect on blood sugar. That is where glycemic load comes in. The carbohydrate in watermelon, for example, has a high GI. But there isn't a lot of it, so watermelon's glycemic load is relatively low. A GL of 20 or more is high, a GL of 11 to 19 inclusive is medium, and a GL of 10 or less is low.
Foods that have a low GL almost always have a low GI. Foods with an intermediate or high GL range from very low to very high GI.
You need to use both for weight loss as there are many foods that contain the similar figures. I use a combo of both for reference. It can get really scary when there are so many diet rules out there but use your commonsense and you can't fail. I try to follow LOW GI/GL, Low Fat, Low sugars and depending upon time of the day LOW CARBS (after 4pm).
Hope this info helps and good luck!

Another dieting question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: Ok I Have a Very Underactive Thyroid Problem and Im Not Sure if There is Any Particular Diet I Should Be On.?
Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…The most important thing by far is take your thyroid medicine daily. I'd also recommend staying away from or at least reducing fast burning sugars (cakes, candies, cookies, deserts, etc.) and high quantities of refined starches which have a similar effect on your body (French fries, white bread, etc.)
This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:

A dieting question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: On a Diet & Going for a Chinese … What’s the Sensible Option for a Starter & Main Meal? I Have to Go!!!
Answer: First off, remember to check out my diet plan here: Tracys Weight Loss Now, on to your question…Yes, anything steamed with lots of vegetables and without sauce. Either all vegetables or veggies with chicken would be good. If they have brown rice, ask for it, otherwise go light on the white rice. (Skip the fried rice all together.)
For a starter, a clear broth soup or steamed vegetable dumplings.
