How do you start the detox/ water diet?

Question by jessie_wildcrazy1: How do you start the detox/ water diet?
I’ve been trying to find out more about the detox diet, but I can’t seem to find enough about it online.

Is anybody on this diet?

Does it really work? I heard that you can lose ALOT of weight in such a really short time! Is that good for your body, considering that you are on a diet?

How do you exactly go about doing this diet? I heard that the diet ranges anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. So what do you have to do and/or take while on the diet?

How much water am i supposed to drink each day?(not including the water in the mixture)

Can you eat lemons?

Is Cayenne pepper/ginger an essential ingredient or is this just to taste, can you have it without?
I’m not saying that I’m going to give the diet a try. I just want to know more about it before seeing my doctor and/or actually starting the diet.

You don’t! Going on any extreme diet like the following can be damaging to your body, just because Hollywood stars do it, it does not mean it is safe!

You have to get that “diet” image out of your head. You need to rather think in terms of “healthy eating”, and you need to include resistance training / cardio. There is no easy way out. People are always seeking for the magic pill / forumla that will help them lose the weight but this will lead to failure. If you are planning to lose muscle/water, then I suggest you go on the diet (well not really!), but what I am saying is if you don’t care about your health, then by all means go ahead. But if you do, then don’t go on it.

I have attached the following link, which explains how you should lose the fat the right way, though it is basic article, it tells nearly everything you should know. Remember anyone can lose a heap of weight in a short period of time, but you have to ask yourself “How much of it was fat?”. A majority of the time, the answer would probably be “nearly none”.

Experts recommend, “Slow and steady weight loss. Depending on your starting weight, experts recommend losing weight at a rate of 1/2 to 2 pounds per week. Weight loss may be faster at the start of a program.” http://win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/choosing.htm#responsible
And, “Men and very active women may need up to 2,500 calories daily. Other women and inactive men need only about 2,000 calories daily. A safe plan is to eat 300 to 500 fewer calories a day to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week.” http://www.fda.gov/opacom/lowlit/weightls.html

Answer by Mr. Peachy®
My question to you is, “Why try to fool Mother Nature?”.

I eat all I want, and I still managed to lose almost 50 pounds in just over three months. The secret to successful dieting is not cutting portions, it’s making sure that what you eat isn’t just “empty” Calories. How did I do it? Simple, I eat only nutritious foods that are as close to Nature as possible. I avoid man made crap as much as possible. It’s all about a high nutrient to Calorie ratio. Read more about that here: http://www.drfuhrman.com/

Here’s my weightloss blog that I followed and that anyone can follow… (if they’re truly serious about losing weight):

Here’s all you need to lose weight all over, look good, feel good, and get really healthy. First, you have to realize there is no quick, long lasting weight loss plan or pill that is going to do the trick. It’s purely mental. You have to learn to “Eat to live, don’t live to eat”. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It is, if you understand that you are going to be reprogramming how you think about eating for the next few weeks. Old habits die hard, right? Not really. You get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good habits. If you learn to count your Calories, keep Calorie intake lower than output, exercise moderately, and eat only healthy, nutrient rich natural foods, you will lose weight. That’s a fact. All it takes is repetition. All success stories have this in common: The successful folks among us know how to be patient, persistent, and consistent. Set a goal, write it down, and stick with it. The benefits of feeling good will outweigh any sense of sacrifice you might feel about having to push away that cake and ice cream. Here are some helpful and healthy links to help you get started on your way:

Binge eating/compulsive overeating

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please Read~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To say “just lose weight” is not saying just lose weight for me and others with the same problem as me. It’s like saying… give up the only way that you know how to deal with negative emotions, give up the only thing that makes you feel better… and see how that goes. My videos will now be focusing on the psychological aspects of binge eating and compulsive overeating. Please follow along, give your feedback/experiences and feel free to post video responses. Possible reasons for binge eating: – Soothing negative emotions, learned early in life – To sedate yourself – Situations or upbringing that involves restriction of food or certain foods… binge eating can be a sense of freedom or a rebellion – Child abuse or other forms of sexual abuse – subconsciously using fat to “hide” yourself and potentially prevent yourself from being sexually attractive – A reaction to other situations that make you feel vulnerable – Boredom or simply to “feel good” – Being so used to being fat that a part of you possibly doesn’t even WANT to lose weight __________________________________ I’ve always felt like I understand my binge eating and what causes it, so never felt the need to look that much deeper into it. But I think it’s really important to first fully understand why you do something, before you can fix it. Binge eating is a symptom of a bigger problem… and that problem is having no other coping …

Fast Metabolism? Slow Metabolism?

I fairly often hear people say that they have a “fast” or “slow” metabolism and that they either can’t gain or lose weight, despite eating a lot or very little. Typically these people then either are really skinny and qualify themselves as “hardgainers” or are overweight, believe they are “diet-resistant” and want to “boost” their metabolism. But is there really such a thing as a fast or slow metabolism? In this video we are going to have a look at the two components your metabolism is made up of, the BMR and TDEE, how size, age, gender and genes make your metabolism lower or higher, what role the amounts of muscle and fat mass in your body play in this and if you can really do anything to increase or decrease the whole thing. For those of you wanting to look into the scientific research about this topic, these papers should be an interesting read, as they highlight how similar people have similar BMRs and TDEEs and how people diagnosed with “diet resistance” failed to accurately assess how much they had really eaten: Lichtman SW, Pisarska K et al.

My stomach was cramping i felt nauseous and dizzy, my face was flushed. I’m thinking i’m not eating enough???? I know it could be possible. I eat very little…i’m a snacker and eat A meal a day on usual sometimes two. I know bad..but this is how i have always been and i have tried working on it. I work full time go to school full time and have a 2 1/2 yr old and 10 month old so i’m PRETTY busy…i don’t have much time to sit down and eat meals. I DON”T eat fast food or drink sodas. I don’t fry food or anything really bad. My husband and I have started eating lots of baked fish for dinner.

If so, what can i eat (quick and convienet) to get GOOD calories in so i don’t feel so bad afterwards??? Any other tips on dieting and exercising would be greatly appreciated.

Answer by jamie.jay
A good stress reliever is yoga it can help you tone up as well. Also, there are herbal active metabolism supplements you can take to give you more energy for your day and your workouts. As for the food, its hard to tell because I don’t know how much you eat a day, but you need to include fruits, vegetables, fiber and whole grain in your diet as well. It will help you feel fuller longer so you don’t have to worry about over eating or not eating enough.

Any tips on a healthy diet?

Question by TheCoolGuy: Any tips on a healthy diet?
Im a 16 year old male, about 140lbs. I have a good bit of muscle, but really skinny, hardly any body fat. I want to start eating alot healthier. For about a month now, I’ve cleaned up my diet a little, but it needs tuning. I drink alot of water each day (2-3 bottles, 2-3 glasses), poptarts for breakfast, maybe a frozen “healthy/weight watchers” lunch, and meats for dinner as well as vegtables.

My question really is about a few specfic items:
I’ve been eating alot of mixed nuts. Are these something to cut back on? They have protien and vitamins which are nice for my muscle, but sodium intake/fatty intake worry me. Also, I eat alot of fruit thru the course of the day. I am almost always hungry, and I want some new foods that I can snack on that are HEALTHY, no bad foods.

Any healthy snack tips?

Best answer:

Answer by Myself™
Try this, you can feel and see results in about three days. Muscle will outweigh the fat so don’t let the scale discourage you .

For exercise, try switching it out everyday, so your body doesn’t get used to the exercise (Monday Arms, Tuesday Stomach, Wednesday Legs, Thursday Rest, Friday Arms, Saturday Stomach, Sunday Legs). Also, one the days where legs or stomach or arms come back around the second workout of the week focusing in that area, try switching the exercise out too. For arms maybe lift weights (if you have none then use cans and be sure to hold them away from you or they won’t work). For stomach, you can sit on a bouncy ball and do crunches (don’t hold onto your legs), for legs, maybe lay on your side propped up on your elbow and lift the top leg slowly up and down, then switch. If you are can’t exercise an hour, that’s fine but try increasing the time every week or so. If you are old enough to buy equiptment or go to a gym, try that. As you get further into it, maybe you can buy some equipment for mainly those three areas I listed. Also, walk home from places or on the commercial break, get up and run wall to wall.
Also, a REALLY good workout is at youtube.com and search for 8 minute abs, 8 minute legs, 8 minute buns, and 8 minute arms. Try doing these on other days (ex.: Monday arms and workout from youtube, Tuesday legs not workout from youtube, Wednesday stomach and 8 minute abs, Thursday rest, Friday arms no 8 minute arms, Saturday no 8 minute abs, Sunday 8 minute legs. Try doing those how I listed above and don’t do it more than once a day along with your daily workout.

For food, which is very important (70% of weight loss is food intake while 30% is excercise, though both are VERY important), try this schedule.

Breakfast:Whenever you wake up or an hour after.

Drink of choice: One hour after breakfast (all other drinks being water.

Lunch: 1 1/2 hours after drink of choice.

Snack: 1 1/2 hour after lunch (or two hours after lunch).

Dinner: 2 hours after snack.

Try portioning your food, one cup for meals and half a cup for snacks and drink of choice. As you get more used to this, you can decrease your portion sizes.
Also try measuring your calorie intake and try exercising over the amount of your intake to build muscle which burns access fat. You can measure that at www.myfitnesspal.com where it measures EVERYTHING for you .

If you drink cokes and need help with that, try slowly decreasing the amount of cokes you drink, one day the usual, and decrease half of the amount of that you usually drink until it’s half a cup a day.

While your exercising, I have a problem with wanting to eat then and I’m sure everyone else does too so maybe bring a mug of ice with you and eat the ice so you get a little munch out of it and you hydrate yourself while doing no harm to yourself or your diet.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Also, at www.myfitnesspal.com if you do everything it says exercise an hour a day, eat the amount of calories! Just keep in mind that whichever diet you do YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Good luck

I’ve been doing this and so far I’ve lost 6lbs in 5 days
Good luck

Check your BMR and eat that amount of calories (BMR is the amount of calories that you burn daily just by breathing, sleeping, etc. so if you eat that much, you burn it plus exercise will be burning more then your intake

Im planning to try to lose weight with a”slow carb diet” that restricts carbs which have a high glycemic index

Question by moh.yumi: Im planning to try to lose weight with a”slow carb diet” that restricts carbs which have a high glycemic index
such as bread, pasta, rice.. all the goods ones. I’m hoping to lose weight, speed up my metabolism, reduce my fat percentage and hopefully stay at my goal weight. I think this seems like a diet that I can do but after I have lost the weight and begin eating a not so restricted diet how do I not gain the weight back? do i just watch my caloric intake and maintain a healthy diet from then on or will i have to just live my life all slow carb??

also how do you know if you’ve sped up your metabolism or not?

Answer by mystraven85
You should consider this to be less a diet and more a lifestyle change.
You can add simple carbs back into your diet on a limited basis when you reach your goals but a healthy diet never includes a lot of these.
Most of the simple carb stuff you listed has a complex carb counterpart. Try Whole grain pasta, brown and wild rice, whole grain bread with at least 3g of fiber per slice. you can eat them even while on your diet so long as you are careful to keep with the proper portions. you will probably come to love whole grains more than flavorless old white bread and potatoes.

As for potatoes, they are healthy root vegetables but they lack flavor without additives and generally those additives are high in salt and fat.

SWEETS: they will be your biggest downfall. learn to limit yourself to one sugary treat a day. be it a peice of chocolate a scoop of icecream or a slice of cake.

A healthy active woman has some leeway in her diet. You can have pretty much whatever you want as long as you keep the calories in check. You can even slurge once in a while as long as you keep in control and keep it limited.

With all that said, good luck on your lifestyle change.
