Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: So I am trying to lose 10 pounds in about two months… I consume around 1200 calories per day and work out 30 minutes at least 5 times a week… I try to eat healthy food like fruits, veggies and nuts along with some carbs… Anyways so yesterday my bro was eating these chocolate cookies and I just ate three of them… I felt guilty and worked out right after that for 30 minutes… Do you think it will affect my weight loss or I will still continue with losing weight?? Thanks in advance…
Answer: I’ve been dieting for around a month and I have lost 13lbs, i wasn’t overweight in the first place but got to the point where the clothes felt tight!
Anyway, those three cookies won’t hurt, you seem to have set a realistic target and a realistic time to do it in. Nice to see someone on here not starving themselves to be skinny and doing it the normal way. Good Luck!
P.S Allow yourself a treat day, this is what i did and it prevents you from cheating in the week. Surprisingly it doesn’t counter act the work you put in all week, as your stomach shrinks and you are able to consume less food, a bit like a fake gastric band i suppose. And always remember to stop eating when you are full!
We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of weight loss. Let’s take a look:
Question: Heard lately that research points to green tea consumption as an assistant to losing weight. Can a GA researcher point me to some resources that don’t appear to be sponsored by tea distributors or the "American Green Tea Alliance" or somesuch organization?
Answer: The University of Chicago Hospitals

Scientists at the University of Chicago’s Tang Center for Herbal
Medicine Research have found that a major chemical component of green
tea caused rats to lose up to 21 percent of their body weight.
What’s this week’s question? Let’s dive straight in…
Question: Why is this happening to me?
I’ am a 13 year old girl
I am 5′1
I’m 89 or 90 pounds
I’m like getting pale? but my parents are indian
I hardly feel like eating, i’m always feeling full
sometimes i get thirsty after drinking anything with caffine (its summer here)
I dont really get headaches but i get dizzy
well, I m eating alot of junk food and i’m constantly losing weight!
PLZZZ help!
xD
thnx
Answer: hey im not sure this will be of much help but i have had this problem - as of right now actually lol! What is helping me though is having 3 meals a day, actual meals like a sandwich, fruit, drink ect. My body is now becoming hungry at those certain times instead of feeling so hungry that i feel full lol (im pretty sure that is why that feeling is happening) As for the caffine, caffine dehydrates you if you drink to much of it, its hard to do but when the weather is as hot as it is your body is dehydrated anyway so i would stick with water even juices. Btw i was eating junk food all the time too and eating all the sugar can make your body almost repel it- it wants healthy food! Try eating meals at the same time as well as adding water, especially when your outside in this horrible weather. hope i helped!
This week’s question is as follows:
Question: okay well my quinceanera is coming up in a few months and i need to lose some weight.i get really lazy though,my brother is always yelling at me about everything and how im not losing weight and it hurts because i know im not improving im just failing,my grandma and aunt give me a hard time about it threw facebook,and im really stressed out about this.what can i do to lose weight fast?
im already 15 and i was told to use alcachofa o:
Answer: Hey…
Okay well theres only 5 things you can do:
1) Exercise.. Keep Busy..Exercise and push yourself the minute you wake up till you go to bed.. The hardest part is waking up early and no naps but once your up your up(you need to structure a good time pattern…take a shower then run errands immediately start doing some cardio and put everything else aside for a minute.
2) Eat.. Don’t even try to follow a diet because your obviously not going to love it everyday..plus you could have eaten something else if it wasn’t for that stuff you regretted. Fight hunger and find another thing to occupy yourself… you can survive and you should only be happier when you defeat it. When you do need to eat just use your food groups: DAIRY PROTIEN CARBS VEGGIES FRUITS & FAT. Moderation is key to them all but only eat them as a serving size. for example: Im hungry and i am going to make dinner.. i will BBQ Chicken (PROTIEN) with a Marinade Sauce (FAT) with a serving of Whole Wheat Brown Rice (CARB), and chopped up a half of a Green Bell Pepper(VEGGIE) , and minced a small amount of Onion ( VEGGIE), and a small amount of chopped up tomatoe (VEGGIE), Garlic (Veggie) and Ground Pepper(CONDIMENT) with a side of a small non fat Vanilla Yogurt (Dairy) topped with Bananas (Fruit)
3) Hobbies…Join a hobbie! Anything that takes your mind off something.. The Gym? Yoga? Board Games? Plant? Go to a movie? Ride a Bike? Take a Walk? Go Shopping? Find a new job? Clean? Laundry? Sports? AA? Fitness Groups? Church? Find Good Songs? Plan a Tomorrows Agenda Schedue? Explore Local Attractions/Events/Meetups? The Library? Go Swimming? I can go on..but try not to take so much advantage of the computer!! (i know, i know…)
4) Be Confident…Love yourself and accept any flaws because the ones that do look ridiculous. If you can or need a TAN/HAIRCUT/THREADING/FACIAL/WAX/NAILS/SKIN/EYEBROWS/MANICURE/PEDICURE and can do it..it can not hurt. Also do some feel good stretches.
anyway you dont need the 3 or 6 meals a day once your full..your full..but make it healthy and add all your food groups at you wont feel deprived. It’s a learning process
5) Regrets.
***anyway..
I hope you have fun at your Quinceanera…i am sure that you already look beautiful so just shine 
Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I haven’t been to the gym for a month and I’m currently looking for good books on bodybuilding, losing weight, diet advice and anything related to these topics.
Thanks.
Answer: If you are serious about body building I cannot recommend highly enough Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Encyclopaedia of Modern Body Building.
What a great weight loss question:
Question: Okay so I’m a bit of an overweight guy… Okay I’ll start with honesty. I’m fat. Fatter than I’d like.
When it comes to losing weight, when I diet, weight just sort of falls off, I’m just lazy and like to eat what I like, so it works against me. So, now with my rugby team in need of me to lose the weight and replace one of our veterans, I’ve got sufficient motivation to lose the weight.
I know how great of a weight loss method running, jogging, and walking are; but is riding a bike a sufficient replacement for that? (and I know, I know. There’s loads of running in rugby.. I’d rather lose the weight then condition. Running while fat blows). I absolutely detest running.
So would a mix of cycling & lots of crunches daily a sufficient replacement for running or jogging? (along with dieting).
Answer: Your proposed strategy of a mix of cycling and lots of crunches daily combined with dieting is very sound and should achieve your objective. Cycling is equally good as as running, jogging, brisk walking and power walking.
Keep the weight loss questions coming! I liked this one:
Question: When people are on a diet or losing weight some might try to go down to a specific number but some people look at it on how they feel about their body and if they’re comfortable and their appearance.
Oprah Winfrey even said that it should be based on how you feel not just a number.
So I want to know what everyone else things and how everyone else feels about this.
So what do you think weight loss should be based on?
Answer: Whatever Oprah says! what’s wrong with you???
A tough weight loss question this week. Let’s dive straight in
Question: Let’s say I eat healthy and stick to a 2000 calorie diet and burn more calories than I consumed each day. I’m losing weight, right?
now lets say i eat unhealthy food and still stick to the 2000calorie diet and still burn more than 2000 calories a day. am i still losing weight?
i don’t plan on doing this, it’s just something i’ve been wondering for a while now.
Answer: Yes however there is a problem with this. When you burn calories you can take them from fat or you can also take them from muscle. If you don’t get the right nutrition you’ll take calories more from muscle than from fat.
Since muscles burn calories then you will start to burn less than the 2000 calories a day. Proper nutrition is needed to keep the lean body mass healthy.
