I need to lose weight fast about a stone. I’m having a party for my silver wedding anaversary and want to look good
thanks

You could starve yourself but you will feel like crap and pile the weight on when you start eating again.
Why do you say "without exercise"?
Really, healthy eating only goes so far, and you need supplement it with an active lifestyle. You will only lose weight if the energy you consume is less than the energy you use, so you can eat low cal, but the rewards won’t be as great as if you also use more energy.
It’s basic science I am afraid.

Just wondering where the cancer can go and what are treatments as it spreads?

Not sure what you are asking . . once the cancer is metastatic it hitches a ride in the blood stream and lymphatic system . . meaning it can go anywhere in the body and set up new cancer colonies everywhere.

With colon cancer complete surgical removal of all visible disease along with chemotherapy to try and control the mets would be one goal.

Diet Plans for 14-Year-Old Girls

Planning a diet for a teen girl can be tricky. Many teen girls suffer from bad self esteem or a skewed body image, and may resort to crash diets that they don’t need to be healthy. Instead of suggesting a diet, suggest a healthy diet plan, where she can learn to eat properly, along with exercise to create a healthier self image. As long as your teen has a healthy body mass index, or BMI, then she does not need a diet to lose weight. A diet plan that can maintain her health is all that she needs.

Planning a Diet
1. When your 14-year-old girl indicates that she wants to eat healthier, or you’ve noticed her body changing, it’s important to calculate her BMI to see where she falls. Unlike adult BMI, a teen’s BMI is calculated and then compared to other teens to give a percentile that she is in for her weight and height, much like you’d receive at the doctor’s office. The BMI can give you a clue as to whether she simply needs a diet plan to eat more healthy, or if she’ll need a diet plan for weight loss. With a healthy BMI, your 14-year-old girl will enjoy better quality of life.
Regular Meals and Snacks
2. One of the most important things to incorporate into a 14-year-old girl’s diet plan is regular meals and snacks throughout the day. Teenagers are especially susceptible to skipping meals like breakfast and lunch: the first because she’s running late, and the second due to pressure from peers to eat as little as possible. However, skipping meals sends your 14-year-old’s body into starvation mode, telling it to store up fat for the next skipped meal. Eating regular meals actually causes a teen’s metabolism to run faster, burning more calories in preparation for the next snack. Talk to her about the importance of regular eating, both for maintaining energy, concentration and focus through the day, and as an important tool for weight loss.
Better Meals and Snacks
3. Too often teen girls eat meals and snacks that are less than ideal. While you want her to eat regularly, you also want her to eat quality food that will help her on her quest for a healthier diet. Make it easy for her by supporting her diet. Send her to school with a variety of healthy snacks like nuts, vegetables and crackers to snack on between school periods, and opt for a homemade lunch over cafeteria fare, which can be greasy and unhealthy. Talk to her about staying full with the right foods, those that are high in nutrients, but still low in fat and calories. Armed with the right information, your 14-year-old girl can follow a diet plan to keep her healthy, and gain eating tools to help her for the rest of her life.

I have wanted to lose weight forever now and have just not been motivated. But I just realized I have a friends wedding in Florida in TWO months and I need to lose a lot of weight!! How can I lose weight fast without killing myself?

I know how you feel! What works for me is healthy eating and excersize. Don’t go mad on the dieting, you will only put the weight back on straight away. When I want to loose weight fast I eat cereal for breakfast, fruit for lunch and have a small healthy meal in the evening. I also would jog 3 times a week, go for some walks and do some toning stuff. Try to loose 1-2 lb per week, it might not sound much, but you can keep that amount of weight off, and it adds up. At that rate you will loose a toatal of 8-16 lb in two months. Good luck!

I am trying to start a ketosis diet to lose weight but I am a vegetarian. What are some good foods that I could eat? I read egg whites and cheese are good and protein powder, but no nuts. My main protein income is usually nuts and beans. Are beans still ok? And it says to up the fat intake. I only get about 5% of the daily fat as it is and barley lose weight. Uping the fat doens’t make sense.. How would that help me lose weight? I do not want to take meds or anything to induce ketosis.

Beans are too high in carbs to throw you into ketosis (unless you’re hardcore at working out).

Some foods you should stock up on are… (in net carbs)
- Macadamias (1.5 for 12 nuts)
- Yves veg hot dogs (~2 per dog)
- Firm tofu (7/100 g)
- Almonds (2.5 for 23 nuts
- Edamame (10 for 1 cup shelled)

Any hard cheese is fine; just have one thumb sized stick of it max per day. Also, whole eggs are less than 1 carb per egg. Meat analogues tend to be good choices, too, just read the labels carefully.

Fat – the fat satisfies your hunger and keeps up your calories – you’re not trying for starvation. Also, you’re trying to convert from carbs as your energy source to fat burning.

My brother weighs around between 210-220 pounds. I am helping him out so what are some good tips to lose weight fast within a week. What I am looking for is what foods to eat each day and how much of it. Also what excercises he can do at home to speed up the process. Also some ways to trick your body into losing more weight like for example if you excercise your upper body one day then excercise your lower body the next day, it can trick your body or something.

1. First start by getting up earlier than usual. Around 5:30 AM to do some of you workouts. Getting up early shocks your metabolism because the body needs more energy to get going. Right? This will start your system on the road to weight loss. That early start with about 10 minutes of stretching. Have a cup of coffee to get the blood going also.

2. Do all the sit-ups you can. Just do them. 15 or 20 whatever, we don’t have a lot of time to work with. Rest 1 minute repeat, do this for 6 sets. Already you are breathing hard and feel worn, because the body is working extra hard at being up earlier and then going right into exercise. If the early morning hour lets you get your cardio in, go ahead and do it. 30 minutes.

3. Diet. Cut all current meal portions in half, just cut them in half, nothing fancy or complicated, CUT IN HALF! Cut out all bread products, all gravies, candies, chips, night snacks, etc. If you crave at night eat a banana, other fruit or best a non-fat yogurt. There are some tasty ones out there.

4. In the evening do another 6 sets of sit-ups maxing out each set. Cardio again. The trick is to stay with getting up earlier. Yes it’s hard, that’s why it is so effective. Why do you think the Army gets up so early, it is intense training to the max.

ok i didnt write this but i copied and pasted the words but i just put it in number order and made it easier to read.

I am trying to lose weight, and I need to go grocery shopping. I plan to do some aerobic exercises every day, but I also need to eat the right foods. What should l eat, and what should I avoid?

Should eat: carrots, celery, any type of vegetable basically besides white potatoes. Keep white potatoes in moderation. Fruits, granola, almonds, cashews. Any nuts really. Air popped pop corn with hot sauce and low fat Parmesan cheese. Whole Wheat bread,turkey burgers, yogurt, egg whites, peanut butter, cereal with at least 5 grams of fiber per serving,& skim milk. Tuna, fresh chicken, turkey etc.

Should not eat, but in moderation: Cookies, Jellies, Any fast food, french fries, pies, sugary cereals, whole milk,white bread. Etc.. Really any foods that are high in sugar and carbs are just used for quick energy. Use your calories wisely on high protein and low carb foods. Eat every 2 – 3 hours and make sure you get 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week .

Hope this helped you

I can give you some tips about weight loss and exercise that I know to be effective. With the following tips you should lose 1-2 pounds or more depending on your level of exercise. Remember it is not good to lose weight too fast because if you lose the weight fast, you will gain it back fast as well.

Here are some tips and guidelines for weight loss:

You should first calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI) and your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). These are two important tools that will become the foundation of any healthy diet plan. I will include links below for you to do this.

In case you don’t know, your BMI determines if you are in a healthy weight range and allows you to set goals for how much weight you should lose to achieve that healthy weight loss goal. Your BMR tells you the amount of calories you need daily to MAINTAIN your current body weight. You should try to cut that number down by 500-1000 calories depending on what the original number is. Remember males should not go below 1500 calories a day and females should not go below 1200 calories a day.

The most important thing is to make sure that you eat plenty of foods that are high in fiber and low in fat, sugar, sodium, and calories. These foods are also supposed to help sustain you and keep you from being hungry. These foods include learn protein, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat / no-far daily products. You want to avoid foods that are overly processed and filled with additives. Foods such as that have little nutritional value and can hinder weight loss.

You should aim to drink 6-8 glasses of water daily. This helps to keep your body flushed, prevent water retention, and aid in weight loss.

You also asked for tips or little tricks, I have one that is proven effective when at big meals. Imagine that you have a peace sign on your plate. In the smaller parts of the peace sign you put your lean proteins and carbs. In the larger portion of the peace sign you put your vegetables. Using this method will prevent you from over eating and will guarantee you have a well balanced meal.

You may also want to take a daily multivitamin to ensure that you are taking in enough of the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

In addition, the experts recommend that you get at least thirty minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. This can be divided into three ten-minute sessions a day, not including warm-up and cool-down time. Your heart rate should increase and you should break a sweat during your workout sessions. In addition, you should try to do strength training three days a week, or every other day. This can be a more rigorous workout, or it can be simple push ups, crunches, sit-ups, lunges, and using lighter weights or canned goods to tone and build lean muscle.

If you follow these guidelines, you will lose weight and you can expect to become healthier. This will help you become leaner, keep your metabolism up so that you do not gain weight, and you will be healthier overall.

Good luck!

Say I have 60g worth, which contains 42g of fat, 10 of which are saturated.

Bearing in mind I’m not getting much fat from other foods in my diet. And these are good fats right, if I have a 60g serving with 40g berries twice a week is this OK?

Nuts in a diet are good for a protein hit, but bear in mind that one cup of most sorts of nuts is your entire recommended fat allowance per day. They’re good but don’t go nuts (haha!!!) each day. What you’re doing now, having them twice a week with berries, is perfectly fine!

Im starting school in august and i need to lose weight because i am gonna try out for the volleyball team and i don’t want to feel uncomfortable about my body. I have been eating fruits and excersing a little. But im wanting to lose weight fast. Any advice? Thanks

1.Hire a substitute teacher. Don’t reach for the brands you know and love immediately – or without thinking first. Eggs are “good” for you, but consider using egg substitutes instead (in fact, many restaurants will let you order lower calorie foods). There are countless “lower” alternatives for you to try. If something different doesn’t taste good, by all means – find a better substitute, or eat less of the original. In some cases, the substitute may be worse for you than the regular version of the product. The good news is, healthier choices are silently replacing their “normal” counterparts – and they taste just as nice.
