Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: basically, i dont eat much protein. only a lot of carbs, fat etc. so tomorrow i’m thinking about getting protein powder, and having that and fruit + veggies to lose weight. will it work? let me knoww guys x
Answer: Is there a reason you can’t get protein from food sources (fish, chicken,lean meat, eggs, yogurt)?? That’s the best way to get it in. You’re looking to get 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. As long as you eat 500 calories below maintenance and exercise regularly, you should lose a healthy amount of weight each week. Drink LOTS of water! This website is amazing! www.bodyspace.com it has loads of nutrition/fitness articles/motivation. GOOD LUCK!!!
Another weight loss question has come in this week. Let’s tackle it straight away:
Question: I am an aspiring model, I’ve got the height 5′10". I’m a little older (23) to start this pursuit but people often mistake me for 15-17. I’d like to slim down to a size 7jr (right now I’m 11jr) before I start applying to agencies (hopefully by mid-October). I’ve been drinking lots of water and for the past few days my diet has been a protein shake consisting of one egg, water, and whey protein powder (3g carbs and 26g protein) six times a day. I feel great and haven’t had any adverse effects so my question is how long will it take to reach my goal? Also, am I getting enough fat?
i have already met with photographer’s who have used me to build their portfolio and have said I should definitely pursue. I went to one agency very interested in me but they wanted to send me to paris right off and i didn’t want to skip out on my last quarter of college. I am photogenic, I am proportional, I just want to slim down so that I am even more competitive for the fashion modeling which is what I’d most like to do. So that’s why I’ve given myself until mid-october to reach that goal. I also would like to model lingerie and I think overall my frame is more suited to more slender lines. A few months ag I got a really bad kidney infection and gained 20 pounds so that’s why I have weigh to lose, I’m not at my natural weight right now. With this diet I feel much better and I am already losing the pounds- I just want to get and idea of whether or not mid-october is a reasonable timeframe to reach my goal and also whether or not it sounds like I’m getting enough fat in my diet. TY!
Answer: Virgin Coconut oil is supposed to help with weight loss and give you the ‘good fats’ that your body needs. You can add it to your shake, it’s especially good in a chocolate shake.
