Q. I was trying a weightloss program where I had to drink a shake and a few other things in the morning. I weighed myself today and I lost 1 pound in a week. I did no excercise. Is it possible that the shakes I was drinking caused me to lose a pound or was it something else?
A. Losing 1 pound per week is a REALLY great expectation to have. It's normally easy to lose the first 10-15 pounds (depending on how overweight you are to begin with). But, if you do a good job staying under your calorie limit and and exercising regularly, 1-2 pounds per week is a really realistic pace.
is it safe to continue to diet while pregnant?
Q. I am currently doing the LA weightloss program, and I have had a lot of success from it, however, I was wondering if anyone else had dieted to lose weight while pregnant. This diet involves eating healthy foods 6-8 times a day. You have to have a certain amount of servings of each food group a day. My question is, Is it safe to lose weight by dieting healthfully as long as the baby is still growing and healthy?
A. your gonna get fat regardless, so why diet.
Is it common to feel sick just after you have started a (diet and excercise) weight-loss program?
Q. I just started a (much needed) weightloss program on Saturday and I felt fine then and on Sunday but now today (Monday) I basically feel like if I'm coming down with a flu. It it because my body is reacting to the change in activities and my new diet or am I just coming down with the flu.
A. That's a good question. When I went on my diet-and-exercise kick, I went through sugar and simple-carb withdrawal (really!) for about 4 days. I felt like total sh+t because although I didn't eat massive amounts of sugar my body was craving those simple carbs. So it depends...have you cut out certain addictive foods like wheat or sugar or dairy? are you overexercising? Play it by ear and wait a few days. If you feel worse and worse, go to the doctor. But keep in mind that you could be adjusting, in which case you'll feel worse tomorrow then start feeling better.
Does working a specific area help decrease fat in that area?
Q. I am satisfied with my arms and calves but I want to get rid of the fat around my stomach and chest. Will working those areas burn the fat faster or do I need to stick to a general weightloss program?
A. Fat loss occurs all over the body at the same time. There is no such thing as "targeted weight loss" or "spot reduction." Fat can accumulate unevenly around the body, like snow drifts in winter. But like snow melts all at the same rate when the weather warms up, so does fat loss occur evenly. It only seems to decrease more slowly in the "trouble spots" like the belly and arms because there was more accumulation there to begin with.
Stick to your general weight loss program.
