What makes up a good weight loss program?
Q. I'm interested in setting up a weight loss program for myself to get in shape for the summer, but I don't know where to begin.

A. It's good to have the following three things when you are preparing to begin a new summer weight loss program:

* To ensure that you can start an exercise program and a nutrition program, it's recommended to get a check-up from your doctor.

* For your workout schedule it's a good idea to set aside at least 30 minutes every other day.

* It's good to have access to workout equipment such as exercise machines and/or free weights.

Cardio work is a great place to begin your new summer weight loss exercise program. Cardio work has a number of benefits. First, it's great for getting your body warmed up for more strenuous physical activity. Also, it exercises your lungs and heart, and is a great foundation for burning off calories.

After some time you'll be able to workout more often, and gain more benefit from your exercise sessions. A good goal to work towards is a workout schedule of at least 30 minutes almost every day of the week. It's not a bad thing to take a break one day during the week.

It's not a bad idea to start with smaller 15-20 minute exercise sessions if you�re just beginning or in case you haven't exercised in a long time. You can even space the workout sessions out to every other day and slowly add days of exercise or increase the time of your workout sessions to further develop your summer weight loss exercise program.

Mix your exercises and activities up some, and pick something you really enjoy doing. Try exercising a little shorter one day, but then a longer the next day - keep the workout program a little varied.

You'll be able to raise your body's natural metabolism and build more lean muscle mass by integrating a strength training program into your summer weight loss workout routine. Lifting weights at least twice a week in addition to your regular cardio workouts will increase your body's rate of burning calories.

I'm sure it's easy to see that good exercise and a proper fitness plan is a vital component to achieving your summer weight loss goals. Another integral part of your plan should be your diet. It's recommended to adjust your diet as well as your exercise routine to help burn off more calories.

You might find that it's difficult to stick to a long-term diet and nutrition plan. If that the case, you might have an easier time trying to incorporate small changes to your diet at first, which could be more effective in the long run. It isn't really necessary to follow a specific nutrition plan, but there are some good guidelines to keep in mind for eating healthy:

* Try to begin keeping track of what you eat. If you start keeping a food journal you might be surprised at how much food you actually consume, and by looking back on your eating habits it might be easier to find places where you can cut calories.

* It's important that you don't skip any of your meals. Many people think that they can get ahead start on losing weight by cutting out meals, but this is not the case. There's a very good chance that it could backfire. In fact, you could actually end up eating more in the long run, not to mention that you could hinder your metabolism and as a result, your body will have a harder time burning calories.

* You can effectively fight off hunger by drinking more water and/or tea. Staying hydrated is a great point to remember - it will also help to prevent fatigue.

* One of the most difficult guidelines to follow is keeping your portion sizes in mind when preparing your meals. If you use smaller dishes, that might make it a little easier.

* You can stay full without a lot of excess calories by eating foods high in fiber as well as fruits and vegetables.

You see that by integrating small changes into your diet and nutrition can be very beneficial to your summer weight loss. As a result, the change to your diet will be easier to follow if it's less drastic. Don't substitute foods that you already enjoy - instead, try adding more healthy foods to compliment your diet. Some good suggestions include fruits, salads, and whole grain breads. It's also a good idea to try eating out less often. You'll have greater control over your portion sizes by preparing your meals at home. You'll also be sure of exactly what you're getting since you choose all the ingredients. It's usually less expensive to stay at home as well, so you'll be able to save money on your food budget.

The main thing to remember is that you're looking for changes to your diet that your can effectively apply and stick to. It might not work very well to select a more complex diet and nutrition program if you don't have a lot of extra time on your hands. On the other hand, you might find it more enjoyable to prepare more healthy foods for yourself when you have more time available to you.

To sum up, proper nutrition and diet, strength training, and cardiovascular exercise, are all good effective components of a summer weight loss program. Keep in mind that you might actually be better suited to starting small and adding more healthy changes to your lifestyle over time. Following these suggestions and guidelines can help you accomplish your summer weight loss goals!


What commercial weight loss programs are vegan?
Q. I lost 90 pounds on a "whole plant based diet" (healthy vegan), but want help in losing another 60 pounds. Are there any commercial weight loss programs that are "vegan" in nature?

Gina Kolata describes the abysmal record of the most popular programs including Weight Watchers, Atkins, and medically supervised calorie restricted diets. Her deep research indicated that the vast majority of people fail to maintain much weight loss over a period of a few years.

What commercial programs are available to vegans?

A. Commercial diet programs sometimes rely on pre-packaged foods. They are not commonly associated with whole foods or with plant-based foods.

Congratulations on your 90-pound weight loss! Most likely, you are now feeling much more energetic and exercising more each day. Since you have been so successful, and you have been eating plant-based whole foods, you must have been doing much of your own cooking.

I think you will like these websites to help you with webcasts, blogs, recipes, and nutritional information. Perhaps you have already seen them.

How do I know which are the best weight loss programs?
Q. I�m trying to choose a weight loss program but there are so many I don�t know which works and which don�t.

A. Choosing the right weight loss program can mean the difference between just wasting your money and actually losing weight.

There are so many programs out there from Jenny Craig to the Atkins diet and even the Chuck Norris total gym.

There are a few things you want to look for.

1.Do they have a diet plan that helps you create meals.
2.Do they have an effective exercise program.
3.Do they teach you how to keep the weight off.

Finding one that is legitimate is also tough. Here�s a link to an ehow article that talks about choosing the best weight loss programs and a couple of others that talk about weight loss.

How come weight loss programs and dieting programs don't work?
Q. I'm currently doing an assignment for health class and the question is, well, the title of this question -- "How come weight loss programs and dieting programs don't work?" I mean things like Weight Watches, Jenney Craig, etc.

How to get the best weight loss Program?
Q. I tried a lot of diets but very little of them used to help. Please give an advice of some good solution/method on the internet to get the best weight loss program.
Thank you.

A. Exercise. Exercise can boost your results ten-fold, especially if it includes weight training. Not only will weight training help you build lean muscle, which helps burn fat, but it can also help strengthen bones. Be sure to consult a health-care professional before starting any exercise program.

Extra protein. A shake may be sufficient to provide an extra boost for supporting weight loss.

Snack right. We all snack. Just avoid snacking on high-calorie, nutrient-deficient foods. In other words, keep the cake, potato chips and ice cream out of the house. Make �better bad� eating choices. If you�re out at a fast food restaurant and a greasy burger is calling your name, just choose a single-patty with lettuce and tomato and hold the cheese and mayo.

Dietary fiber. Be sure you are receiving sufficient amounts of dietary fiber daily. Fiber helps keep you feeling satisfied longer while also keeping bowel movements regular. I recommend gradually increasing fiber to 25-30 grams daily, in line with current National Fiber Council recommendations.

Weight loss success is often about making better choices.

Avoid sugary drinks. These can add �no nutrition� calories quickly. It�s best to drink plenty of purified water and/or nutrient-dense sugar drink alternatives.

Say no to �bad� fats. The �bad� includes saturated and trans fats. �Good� fats include olive oil rich in oleic acid and fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids. To take ultimate advantage of omega-3 fatty acids, it�s best to take a high-potency, high-quality fish oil supplement daily. New research also shows that dietary omega-3 fatty acids may be linked to lower bodyweight.

Mix it up. We all have individual differences. Something that may work for one person may not work for the next. Be sure to try a few different things and see what works best for you.

Whatever you do, it�s important that you don�t become discouraged. Shoot all scales. Pay attention to your body. As you continue to enjoy a reduced-calorie diet, providing your body with quality nutrition, and building muscle through exercise, then the weight will begin to come off safely.


There are numerous weight loss programs in our society that?
Q. There are numerous weight loss programs in our society that recommend low carbohydrate and high protein diets. What are some of the benefits that proteins provide when included in a balanced diet, and what are the dangers of overconsumption of proteins? What effects do these diets have on the body, both short-term and long term?

A. Protein (along with carbohydrates and fats) is one of the three macronutrients your body needs to function properly. It has many health benefits which include helping your body build and repair cells, helping your body produce antibodies, enzymes and hormones and helping your cuts heal. However, you can get too much of a good thing and protein is no exception. In this article I am going to be outlining four of the drawbacks of eating too much protein.

1) IT CAN HAVE A DEHYDRATING EFFECT:- In a four week study that looked at five endurance athletes who consumed low, medium and high levels of protein it was found that increased protein consumption lead to lower levels of hydration. Dehydration can cause a number of serious problems including extreme fatigue, muscle cramps, headaches, muscle spasms, difficulty breathing and loss of consciousness.

2) IT PROMOTES FAT STORAGE:- Many people believe that you can eat protein to your hearts content and not get fat. However, if you eat too many calories (whether they come from carbohydrates, fat or protein) they ultimately get stored as body fat. Eating more of this macronutrient whilst eating the same amount of calories can stimulate fat burning in your body but eating too many protein calories will lead to fat storage.

3) IT CAN LEAD TO KIDNEY STONES:- When protein is broken down this creates acids such as uric acid which increases the acidity levels in your blood. To combat this your body releases the alkaline substance calcium phosphate from your bones into the bloodstream. Overall, this increases urine levels of uric acid and calcium which can then both form into kidney stones.

4) IT CAN LEAD TO OSTEPOROSIS:- As discussed above eating high levels of protein can lead to calcium phosphate being released from the bones. Low levels of calcium in the bones can cause osteoporosis to develop. Osteoporosis reduces your bone density and can lead to your bones bending, breaking and fracturing much more easily than normal, healthy bones.

As you can see protein is not a super nutrient. Whilst it has many valuable functions when consumed properly, eating too much can lead to the problems discussed above. Increasing your protein intake moderately can help you build muscle and burn fat. Therefore, if you decide to eat more protein make sure that you do not consume it excessively.
In my experience all the weight loss programs are for nought. You have to really , really want to lose weight and stick to it. A low Glycemic diet coupled with exercise is the best one I have found. I don't feel cheated. Probably the only things I really miss are Potato's. Other than that I am happy. OH, and pizza.http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm
When I lowered my intake of carbs and exercised my cholesterol and blood pressure went from high to normal. That high blood pressure is the real killer. Now mine is 118/68 resting.

This way of eating is a great way for the whole family to eat. If you do , there will not be any Type 2 diabetes in your family.

Good luck

Does anyone know any good weight loss programs that are good for diabetics?

Q. A friend of mine is interested in starting a weight-loss program, but is type 2 diabeties. She cannot handle any sugars whatsoever, and has to limit herself to VERY few carbs. With this being said, does any know, preferebly from experience, any good weightloss programs for diabetics? Something where the food can be ordered, such as NutriSystem, where you don't have to go to the place to participate. Thanks in advanced~~! Links would be much appreciated,

A. The South Beach Diet is really good. Try to do this with her. It's always nice to have somebody to diet with for support. You can also do Weight Watchers on the internet. Both are good.


Does someone knows about a good weight loss program at a clinic or hospital in the Boston Area?
Q. Does someone knows about a good weight loss program at a clinic or hospital in the Boston Area?

A. You have one of the finest hospitals in the country in Boston: Brigham and Women's. If you call there, they may have such a program, or be able to refer you.

Having said that, weight loss is under your control. It is ALL about calories taken in vs. calories burned. If you eat more than your body needs, you'll gain weight. If you eat less, you'll lose weight. And you are probably taking in far more calories than you realize simply by snacking. By adjusting your meals to wholesome, filling foods without empty calories such as gravies and sauces, and then eliminating ALL snacking and "treats" such as dessert, candy, sweets, etc., you will lose weight at a sensible rate over time. Meanwhile, get out and move. Walk around the block a few times every single day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. For short trips, walk, don't ride. If you do these simple things to modify your daily behavior, you'll lose weight. No question about it.


Anyone have the first 3-day jump start sheet for quick weight loss program?
Q. I purchased the quick weight loss program back in 1999 and part of the package included the first 3-day jump start portion. I have got the entire plan, except for that part. Would someone please email me a copy of it?

A. try the Lil Jack workout http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKCGe2Ezris its fun and it works


Does anyone have a weight loss program they would like to share?
Q. I just need a simple, effective weight loss program, but I don't want to pay for it. Anyone want to share their secrets?

A. To lose weight, you need to get your body to use up these stores of fat. The most effective way to do this is to:

1:) reduce the amount of calories you eat

2:) increase your levels of activity.

3:) jog in the morning BEFORE breakfast, since you would have been starving for a long time, the body will use fat supplies as energy!

Below are ways to reduce calorie intake without having to alter your diet significantly.

Replace fizzy drinks and fruit cordials with water.
Swap whole milk for semi-skimmed, or semi-skimmed for skimmed.
Eat less lunch than usual. For example, make your own sandwich and limit the use of margarine or butter and full-fat mayonnaise (store-bought sandwiches often contain both).
Stop taking sugar in tea and coffee.
Have smaller portions of the food you enjoy and avoid having a second helping at dinner.
Cut out unhealthy treats � such as confectionary, sugary biscuits and crisps between meals.
Cut down on alcohole intake.

Don't be tempted to skip breakfast. While skipping a meal will reduce your calorie intake for that hour, it will leave you much hungrier later on.

Drinking fresh water also helps in removing waste and redundant calories which is great for losing weight and detoxifying the body. Drinking water frequently is a very important to maintaining a healthy diet and losing weight naturally.

Supplementing with Hoodia Gordonii Plus Appetite Suppressant contains 100% pure South African Hoodia plus other weight loss ingredients. On November 21, 2004 CBS correspondent, Lesley Stahl reported on 60 Minutes that a strange little plant, Hoodia Gordonii, �... is a natural substance that literally takes your appetite away.� According to CBS, �Scientists say that it fools the brain by making you think you�re full, even if you�ve eaten just a morsel.

Hoodia extract is one of the most potent appetite suppressants available. It was originally discovered after the hunting tribes of the Kalahari Desert were found to use the root of the plant to starve off hunger. The extract was chewed while on long hunting trips, and when food was scarce.

Hoodia which is 100% natural, works as well as, if not better than any drug based appetite suppressant. It works so well, that Pfizer has been reported to pay over £20 million pounds in funding to isolate the active molecule found in Hoodia � known as P57. The reason why? Hoodia is completely side effect free.

I have personally used this product and it did help me to lose weight because i didnt feel hungry for most of the day, you must try it you will thank me, guaranteed;)

Why do only thin people advertise weight loss programs?
Q. Why do they only use thin people to advertise weight loss programs?
If you're thin - then you don't need to lose weight. Why don't they use over weight people and then show the changes?

A. because no one wants to hear a fat person saying how easy it is to lose weight on a certain program and that you should 'join today'. it seems hypocritical.
on every weight loss ad I see they show before and afters where they start off fat though.
