Q. What exercises/dieting can I do to support the burning of fat? Nothing crazy, I want to do things right. I'm not into crash-dieting or exercising until I could die while only eating grapefruits or anything like that. The last time I did it the old-fashioned way I went from 198lbs to 130lbs in 6 months. But that was swimming, and in the winter swimming is out of the question. Lifting, walking, anything?
A. I would suggest a combination of weight training and cardio. When lifting weights use light weights and high reps (15 reps and above). Your cardio can consist of running, walking, treadmill, eliptical machine, bike, swimming, basketball, or even yard work. Do your cardio for at least 20-30 minutes. But, all the weight training and the cardio in the world won't help you without a good sound eating plan. You stated in your question that at one time you went from 198lbs. to 130lbs. in 6 months; so it seems like you know what you are doing. You can get more tips by reading womens fitness magazines, such as Womens Health, Muscle & Fitness for Her, and Shape. Good luck to you.
Is there any way to quite smoking without gaining weight?
Q. I've been dieting and working out, and I lost 6 pounds.
I'm 5'10, 190 lbs. I smoke about a pack/day...Everyone I know has gained weight after quiting. What is the best way to quit without gaining the weight that I'm working hard to get off?

A. start on an exercise program straightaway to counteract it.
My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.

How to lose and tone properly?
Q. I'm a track and distance runner who tore my ACL running hurdles in April. I had surgery in July, and will be able to go back to running in October. I have started working on my diet, incorporating more proteins, fiber, carbs, diary, fruits, and veggies. I want to start lifting again and just get my body used to physical activity, but I also want to get lean and tone and gain back the conditioning I had before the injury. I would like to know some eating habits and exercises I can use to get back to my lean body frame ideal for the type of running I enjoy doing. I'd like to participate in a 5K in the end of November, and I want to feel and look fit enough to do it. Thanks.

Do cortisol reducing products work to help you lose weight?
Q. Cortisol is a stress related hormone. It is part of our fight or flight response, and causes us to dump glucose into our bloodstream which will then make you hungry. So, websites say if you have a lot of belly fat, with a high stress life, Cortisol is to blame. Now there are all these products like Relacore, Cortislim, and Cortidrene on the market. I fit the profile of the ads and commercials. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach, buttocks, and thighs, but no where else. My husband is deployed, my housemate and I don't get along anymore, I had a few friendships deteriorate, and I just had to get a job because the Army screwed us out of money. So, my question is, do these products help, or is it just a scam like most other diet pills? I would really like to hear from people who have tried the products with diet and exercise and get their opinions, but I will listen to anyone who has something intelligent to say. Thank you.
For reference, I use an elliptical trainer 4-5 times a week for 30 minutes and am on a healthy food plan from a nutricionist. I know I am going to have to work for weight loss and a healthy lifestyle, but a little help wouldn't hurt aka a diet supplement.
Hmmm, I guess I should have put more about me in this. I was in an accident when I was younger and got broken pretty badly. I also have a chronic pain disorder. I try and work out as much as I can, but the pain can be overwhelming. My neck, knee, shoulder, and some other joints are severely damaged. Weights and anything impact is out of the question. I have a pool and swim but it is getting cold. I want to join a gym/pool but money is a factor right now and I have a recumbant bike and elliptical trainer at home. I have curbed my eating alot and realized I'm a boredom eater, so I try and stay busy. I haven't ever really tried to lose weight before so I'm deeply researching my options.
