Q. I heard first when you start the losing weight (diet and excercise) you first lose 8-10 pounds of water and after that you lose about 2-3 pounds a week on average. What is the process how long do you have to wait for the first 8-10 pounds of water weight? Why also after working out several months after you lost some weight nothing happens. I heard it's called a "platue" and you have to find some way to shock your body so you can continue to lose weight. So if anyone knows please help and let me know and can you please be detailed about it? Provide me about how many months for the first sign of weight loss and so on. Thanks much!!
A. Good lord, "shock your body"??
I hope you are not literally meaning a shock treatment. I suggest you check out a great program called "You: on a diet".
One common myth my MD tried to do was to get me on a low-cal low-carb eat next to nothing diet. Then this book pointed out how that is the WRONG thing to do. Mind you, they do not mean go wild at the table, but they approach waist loss in a different manner.
They feel if you work unnatural things out of your body, such as processed sugar, flour, etc. Your body, if you also do some exercise, will begin to regulate itself. If you starve it, you body considers that food is hard to find, so it needs to store additional fat, as much as possible, to get you through the winter without starvation.
It is facinating all the things I have learned, and I know my doctors must've known this. But these two doctors also read the CD version of their book, and put out a DVD 30 minute workout. I am working on the CDs, and then the DVD.
Also, if I slip at say Thanksgiving with a piece of pie, I will not feel like I blew it. Moreso I will make myself a thanksgiving dinner, without the sweets and lots of natural stuff, and I will eat that, (maybe a little tukey or ham).
The doctors also state how todays beef has about 90% more fat than it did when we all farmed and grew our own food. Good luck!

Do weight lifters get more cut if they start working out when they are skinny?
Q. Or can people who are chubby still get cut w/o having to go on all kind of weight diet BS?
Thank you.
Thank you.
A. 'Chubby' people have just as much raw muscle underneath the flab than any 'skinny' guy would. The concept of getting 'cut' is reliant, therefore, on decreasing the body fat until those muscles are visible.
If you can safely work out and weightlift while overweight (which is a serious consideration, as a very large person's heart would be more susceptible to stress and/or failure, and he/she is also more likely to be unfit generally). Then a 'fat' person will actually build more muscle than a skinny person, because of all the extra weight that they're bearing during training (just as a short jog for a very large and unfit person would be far more strenuous than for a small-framed and equally unfit person).

How can i stop stressing about loosing weight?
Q. I feel like i know the key elements to loose weight, diet & exercise. I know all about healthy foods and water and at least 30 min a day. But i always stress out that im doing something wrong because there are sooo many ways to workout and i become overwhelemd with the different strength training exercies for upper and lower body and then cardio. UGH! this makes me want to not workout its a huge stress factor.
A. If you know correct diet info and method, diet is easy. If you are serious, you must have fast diet method that works for you. I recommend you my diet method for you. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks and it was very fast. You can do it too. You can get more info at link below.
Will not using all my daily points allowance on the weight watchers diet have a negative effect?
Q. I've recent started doing the weight watchers diet at home and counting points. I'm allowed 21 points a day, but usually only using around 16 (and not feeling hungrey). I'm doing a 1 hour of exercise every other day and walking my dog every day. Will the fact that I'm not using all my daily points have a negative effect, as the first week of the diet I lost 3 lbs and the second week I did not lose or gain any points?
Thanks for any advise.
Thanks for any advise.
A. I've been on Weight Watchers in the past and received excellent results.
We were always told at meetings to use all your points or as close as possible.
Like you, I would not use all my points and found that I remained almost unchanged from week to week. I discussed it with my adviser and she said use all your points.
Well, I started doing so and the pounds started coming off again.
So yes, it has an effect on your weight loss. Try and get a little closer to the 21 points and see if it makes a difference for you. It certainly did for me! Good luck!
