Weight Loss/tough Love?

This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:

Question: this is going to sound a little ridiculous, but I want to lose about 15-20 lbs, and I need one of the following things:

1) In your own words, give me some really tough criticism. It just works for me. Sort of like a "get off your [expletive] and stop eating [expletive] you lazy son of a [expletive]" sort of thing. It’s motivational. It really is.

2) A website, or a youtube video, or something that has the same effect as suggestion #1 above.

—If anybody’s read Skinny Bitch, I LOVED that book. I loved the foul mouth humor, and I loved the criticism — just not the veganism. But anyway, just go for it. haha.

Answer: Get your fat ass off the computer. you aren’t going to lose weight bitching and whining about it you fat piece of shit. put the hamburgers done for once and eat right and get your ass to the gym

14 Year Old Weight Loss?

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

I just love answering these weight loss questions. Here’s another:

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 question? Let’s dive straight in…

Question: Okay so I am short. like 5′ 1" or 5′ 2′ and im fat. ( i really am, im not like HUGE but i’m not like just trying to complain either. i hate that.) So is it true that since im short i can like lose less weight than a tall person and get noticeable results quicker? Guys i’m not lazy or anything i’ll lose what i need too. I just want to know.

Answer: There is no difference between tall and short people.
Short people need to lose less fat obviously than tall people but at the same time tall people can eat more while dieting than short people. get it?

Weight Loss/ Serious Workout Questions!?

I just love answering these weight loss questions. Here’s another:

Question: I am 17, 154 pounds
i am a bit chubby ( specially chest and lower stomach) (not upper abs.. dont know why:S)

i want to get a body like "mike the situation" and pauly d :P (no homo)

is it possible?

should i do straight fat loss first? ( cardio)
or should i do a mix of both?
And for lunch is Subway okay to eat… ( ham or cold cuts, with green pepper, tomato, japeneos, green olives, Mustard( or honey mustart), hot sauce and salt n pepper) 6 inch… or 12 inch
PLEASE HELP and thank you

Answer: Dear LOL,

Hey you can do it, you just have to focus on your diet, there are tons of sites with good info (http://thefatburningguide.com bodybuilding.com) but to start off a good diet and a little bit of cardio you can easily lose 2 pounds a week. Trust me I was recently cutting down for a competition and have a very defined 8 pack right now (the picture is a few months old)
So first you should set up a good diet plan, which isnt that hard after the first week or two. I personally use Fitday . com to track my foods eaten when I am cutting. Also fat cannot be spot reduced (reducing fat on certain spots in the body) it is one of the top fatloss myths. You can usually lose fat easily from the arms and legs, then the butt, and then the lower abs and back are the most stubborn and last places to burn fat. You should try looking into HIIT and riding a bike for 2 hours is a great way to burn calories. You can look into doing a HIIT program with your bike. I personally do it with a jump rope. Also gaining muscle is much much harder than you think, it would take you months and months of hard work (great protein diet, and weightlifting protein) to gain any muscle size on your arms. There is just so much I can tell you but I am not sure exactly what else you want to know about. Remember diet is the most important part to fat loss, cardio just helps speed things along.
You can check out my site in the sources (has alot of good HIIT info and I am always adding more articles) and post any other questions you have I check it multiple times a day.
Here are some other tips I posted on a similar question.

1) Most important thing to lose fat is diet (80% of fat loss comes from it)
2) Diet :P
3) The first thing you should do is find your calories burned for the day (google calorie calculator…use the mayo clinic one..i find it the most accurate) then subtract 500 calories from that and thats what you should eat every day
I know it may seem hard to do but after a week you will get totally used to it. I use Fitday . com to track my calories and it makes a ton of a difference and gives me consistent results week after week for over a year.
4) Try doing HIIT cardio..it will allow you to burn fat fast (9-12 minutes of HIIT would burn the same as 20-40 minutes of normal cardio)
(OO ya and ab exercises will barely burn any fat at all)
5) Just check out my site in the source and post up any other questions you have..I check it multiple times a day and will get back to you.
6) the site is http://www.thefatburningguide.com

AND GOOD LUCK :D

Should I Get Weight Loss Surgery if My Insurance Will Cover It?

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

This week’s question is as follows:

Question: I’m 24, 5′4" and I weigh 220 lbs roughly. I’ve always been around 160ish but when I got pregnant I let my weight get out of control and now I’m 220. I’m pretty sure I’m a candidate for surgery but I think it’s kinda taking the easy way out. What should I do? I’ve done a cycle of the hcg diet and I lost about 15 lbs so should I just keep doing that?
Answer: Hey! We weight the same at the same height and age! LOL. I feel you on wanting to lose the weight. I have been eating better and exercising. Have you tried exercising, dieting and eating healthy? I have done that and lost a little bit of weight, but I do not exercise everyday like I should. I think that surgery should be a last resort if you are not able to lose the weight on your own. I heard from someone who was getting the surgery that they make you wait a year anyways to see if you can do it on your own before you get a lap band or gastric. They monitor your blood pressure, weight, what you eat and they do this because they want people who are serious about losing weight.

Weight Loss Questions?

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

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.
