Best diet menu to eat for maximum weight loss?

Q. I'm thinking of starting a weight loss diet and im trying to lose 40lbs.
I have a complete exercise plan but I am still confused on a specific diet plan that will help me achieve maximum weight loss..
Any good menus that have worked with anyone else?

A. Hi,

I graduated high school at 240 pounds and at 5 foot 3 that made me about as round as I was tall. I was one of those overweight teenagers who ate anything and everything without any regard to the effects it was having on my own body. Therefore, I began the diet pills, which did not work; I ate the special diet foods and even began drinking diet beverages. None of this stuff worked for me, just as it does not work for millions of overweight people. Eating less did not work and I was not one to work out or even get up and do anything remotely related to exercise. I knew I would look silly and it would hurt. I never thought or really cared about the health effects this would have on me, back then.

A year ago after a successful weight loss plan, now at 120 pounds, it is a major difference. I've lost 30 pounds in the first month. The most significant change in my life is the amount of energy I now have and the way my clothes fit loosely. Everyone close to me and people I havenât seen in a while are amazed and tell me that I look really good. This is a life changing experience for me although at first I was skeptical about the weight loss plan.

Our own metabolism system play a vital part in controlling the amount of body fat burned in the process of providing energy to the body. Knowledge about our own metabolism function is the mother to all weight loss programs. With the knowledge you not only reduce your weight but able to maintain an ideal weight and living a healthy life.The weight loss program has proven to be effective in the short and long-term, without need to endure starvation and without any daily athletic workout. (But taking a light exercise every few days is highly recommended). Best of all you can eat what you most enjoyed without gaining any weight The weight loss program is affordable by all and do not need to pay a monthly fees to use it. In contrast to diet pills regime where you need to buy it on a regular basis and the amount of lose weight will reversed back when you stop consuming it.

The success has inspired me to help others and i am sure you won't be disappointed. The link is at the source below and discover how you can become noticeably thinner in 11 days by eating in a way you'll actually enjoy.

What is a healthy diet for a swimmer trying to lose weight?

Q. I have looked at many weight loss diets and many restrict carbs, but I look at information about a swimmer's ideal diet and the main food is carbs.
How do you go about losing fat if you swim for 1hr/day for 4-5 days/week.

A. Regardless of your fat, protein, carb ratio, as long as calories in (eating) is less than calories out (burned off thru exercise and metabolism) you will drop weight.

The first thing you need to know is how many calories you need to "maintain" your weight (calculators will ask how much you currently weigh, height & work-out schedule). From there you can create a diet that is around 500 calories less than what you need to maintain (a 500 calorie deficit every day for 7 days will result in a loss of a pound..ie it takes 3,500 calories.). If you need "carbs" than you can focus on complex carbs (whole grains) to provide energy through-out the day.

Edit: There is a reason that health experts suggest only 1 - 2 pounds of loss a week. 500 - 1,000 calorie deficit is tough enough for most people...dropping it below that just isn't practical / healthy. This is especially true for people that are already healthy or close to healthy weights (and is what makes them anorexic).

Heavy people can drop off 500 - 1,000 calories a day easy but that is usually because they can eat 3,000 - 3,500 calories to "maintain" there current heavy weight. So what if they cut back to eating 2,000 calories a day that is still a good amount of food.

What is a healthy diet for 14 year old trying to loose weight?

Q. I have been getting out, riding my bike, exercising, etc., but i haven't noticed much of a weight change. I have have noticed that the things that the things that I have been eating aren't very healthy. I'm not sure what would be a healthy diet for me, but I am willing to go on one, so please help me!

A. Just eat things that seem natural. Get in your fiber, water, veggies etc.
Something that helped me was logging what I ate/how I exercised... I use myfitnesspal.com It's free and stuff but you'd just have to say you're older then you are when you make an account. It's now my new favorite thing... I love it. On it you log your exercise, calories, and water and it creates guidelines of how much of those you need to do to get a certain weight by a certain time.

Q. So i recently found out that i am severely anemic. And im also extremely picky about what i eat. Does anybody have any ideas of any kinds of food that would be good for me?

A. It is a scam. It doesn't make you lose weight.

Original Question

How exactly do weight loss challenges work?

Q. I see all of these weight loss challenges scattered throughout the internet, but they usually only have a start and end date with no rules. Are you supposed to come up with an individual plan and then join the challenge for however long it lasts for? What is a challenge?!

A. The first and best of all ways to lose weight is to exercise. Sure, you've probably heard it a million times already, but why then are you still surfing the Net in search for that magic pill? Set yourself a routine to follow and then stick to it, the biggest reason people never get anywhere in life and ultimately never lose weight is that they don't set a specific plan to follow. They just wake up randomly one day and tell themselves that they're going to change their life around by going out and jogging for an hour or two. Next day they do the same thing and start to think that they can really maintain what they're doing for as long as they live. Fast forward to the sixth day and they're in bed telling themselves they'll go out jogging tomorrow. But they never do go out jogging. No matter how determined you are, you will never get anywhere without a clear schedule and plan. (It's just like construction projects, they don't just happen overnight, right?)

How do vibrating weight loss machines work?

Q. Ok I would really like to know how getting shaken makes you loss weight? because it seems like a scam to me.

A. This product is amazing! It creates an unbalanced environment for you to stand on and workout. Your core would be activated just by trying to balance yourself on the wonder machine that helps you burn 1000kcal per hour. Perform a bicep curl on the machine and you're working both your biceps and core intensely!

Nah, its doesn't work. You're better off hitting the gym, lifting weights, running on the treadmill or even brisk walking! Get a good training program (weights and cardio) with a healthy and balanced diet plan for yourself and you'd lose weight in the healthiest manner.

What weight loss program would be good for me?

Q. I want to lose 20
pounds in 1 month because we are going to the beach. What food should I NOT eat and what exercises should I do? I am 5'3" and a half and way around 150-160 lbs. (I am female) going to the gym is out of the question. I need exercises I can do at home without special equipment or anything. Thanks guys!

A. Hi Happy,

Trying to reduce unwanted weight has not really been easy with some people due to their body composition, but with determination and following the weight loss program, you will be able to achieve your desired result. Bear in mind that its a gradual process. You cannot achieve it just immediately but doing what you are supposed to do will lead to positive result.

All you need to do is to discipline yourself. Its very important. Eat balanced diet but eat when you are hungry. Try and eat fruits, vegetables and drink more water. Also, try to reduce fatty food going into your system, reduce sugar intake, soda, chocolate, ice cream, etc.

Do regular exercise either in the house or outside. Fit in your exercise time into your daily schedule. If it means waking up early, do so that you can exercise your body. You can also walk out, run, dance, ride bicycle, swim if you have pool,etc. Choose the one you can do and it will help reduce unwanted pounds in your system.

Good luck

What weight loss program helps you detoxify and loss weight at a good rate?

Q. I want to detoxify my body and loss weight healthily and rapidly. I want to lose 90 lbs by the end of the year.

A. I did south beach and I lost about 50 pounds in not even 3 months. And I've kept it off for almost 2 years now. I found it to be the easiest diet because it pretty much told you what you could and couldn't eat and you didn't have to count points or anything like that. What I lost really isn't typical for the amount of time I did it but I know others who have done it and they got really good results from it as well.

What exactly does your BMI indicate, and is it something to use as a guideline to weightloss?

Q. When dieting, and what have you, how important is your BMI number, and is a good indication of much weight you need to loose?

A. BMI is Body Mass Index and it is nothing more than statistics based on averages. BMI is only a small indicator, body fat % and water % are much more important.

BMI does not take into account the three different body types which is a very big flaw in the system.

For example a very muscular people can have a bad BMI while their body fat might be below 15%.

I am not a big fan of BMI, but it is a place to start.

How do I replace fat with healthy nutrients when I have correct BMI?

Q. I'll be 21 this 28th and my height is 5'4" . I weigh 60kgs which is right according to my height. But the problem is I have a lot of fat in my belly and thighs and I want to reduce it.

If you drink sodas, don't drink diet, there wost for your health they reg.
Start eating healthy foods, and not so much sweats. That is not to say that you can't ever eat sweats os drink sodas, just don't have a lot of it.

These are some things that will help you get started, but don't go crazy with it either.

Good luck, and don't worry what others think you look like. It should only matter how you think you look like.

I am underweight according to bmi calculators. How can i gain weight with out eating unhealthy food?

Q. I don't want to eat anything that will make me unhealthy or blemish my skin. But I really don't like the idea of being underweight! Does anyone know what I should do? I really appreciate all the help I can get. P.s. I am a vegetarian and would LOVE it if I could keep with that.

A. i dont really think that you have to worry about those stuiped BMI calculators how old are you? Im geussing under 16 if thats true dont worry about it your body is still changing the average person thats going to through puberty is most likely going to be underweight because your growing in height and its eaiser to grow in height then it is to put on an average weight. So just dont worry but if not try target they have these shakes that make you gain weight or try power bars there both very healthy and full of vitamons. But ill repeat dont try to put on weight during puberty because it will catch up with you and you will then be overweight.

What are some good diet recipes to make, I love chili so any diet chili to make? (with meat)?

Q. I'm looking for some recipes that can help me lose, but a recipe that will give me a few leftovers.For example when I made the chicken soup, I had 26 cups, enough for a while to last me, so I want recipes to last me, since I don't have a whole lot to spend on dieting all the time.

A. Depending how how low cal you want to make this, I can make it really low cal and very good, but it takes a bit of work.

Spray a non stick sautee pan with a bit of Pam. Then add diced 1 yellow onion, 2 cloves of garlic and half a pepper. Cook for about two minutes then add about 1/4 c. chicken stock, 1 finely diced chipotle pepper in adobo with about 1 tsp. of the sauce, and about 1 tbsp. each salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin. Let this cook on a light simmer until the liquid is almost gone. Then add about 1 lb. ground turkey breast. Sautee this up until almost done. Then add 2 large cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of light kidney beans with the liquid and 1 can of dark kidney beans without the liquid. Mix in 1 tbsp each salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Also 2 tbsp. of seasoning salt. Let it simmer on low for about 1 1/2 hours. It freezes really well. I do this all the time. Made it for superbowl and I thought I was going to have leftovers, but nothing.

1 egg
1 cup cooked beans (barbanzo, lima, blacked i-eyed peas, kidney)
1 Tbsp unsweetened salsa
1 Tbsp fresh herbs
1 tsp toasted nuts

Original Question

What are some diet recipes that contain meat?

Q. My boyfriend is a country man, and I can't cook a single thing without meat! Soup isn't filling enough, and sometimes I can get him to eat a salad...on the side. Every diet recipe I look up either has chicken breast or fish. Well, those are expensive! Does anyone have some good recipes or even just ideas that I can feed this carnivore?

A. Beef is not necessarily high in calories. It's the fat that makes them fattening.

Lean hamburger, flat iron steaks, flank steaks and leaner sirloin steaks are good choices.

You might have to experiment a little but there are millions of recipes out there you can alter easily by leaving out fattening ingredients or replacing them.

Chicken breast is really expensive if you buy it boneless and skinless but if you buy it skin and bone on it can be much cheaper. It's easy to pull the skin off and the bones help keep it moist when it cooks and adds a lot of flavor.
