How can I overcome a stubborn weight loss plateau?

Question by : How can I overcome a stubborn weight loss plateau?
I’m a male 6’3″, started at 304 lbs now stuck at 245 lbs. I was stuck at 245 for three weeks. Then I went on vacation far away without my kitchen scale or calorie counters and ate pretty much whatever I wanted for an entire week (real burgers, real pizza, real ice cream, still lots of fresh fruits and veggies and all that good stuff as well). I came back and was still 245. I’ve been home a week and counting, weighing, and journaling all of my food and I’m still 245.

I have increased my activity from 30 mins walking per day to 60 mins per day. I also stand 8 hours per day at work without breaks. Generally I have eaten 2000 calories per day but I’ve also tried a week at 1800 and the weight didn’t change. I’ve heard the advice before about taking a day and eating more calories to “reset the metabolism” but in this case I took a whole week and it didn’t seem to change anything. Any other advice? I’m really happy with the almost 60 lbs I’ve lost, but I’d like to keep it going.
Finally, a response. Thanks for your insight. I’ll add that I ate raw vegan for the first four months or so of the weight loss so raw produce is pretty standard in my lifestyle. I do track fibre intake and I average around 30g per day. As for salt, I had high blood pressure and I want to get off the pills, so that is also something I monitor. Any other suggestions?

Answer by Andy L.
Depending on your frame, you can probably lose 20 to 30 pounds and be better for it. Although there are some radical short term plans like the Atkin’s diet that work and other diets that substitute liquid drinks for meals, I found that the best way is not actually going ON A DIET, and instead involves a CHANGE OF DIET. What and how and how much you eat is more related to the amount of weight than exercise. Exercise strengthens muscles including your heart and makes you look toned and fit, but is not a clear measure in weight loss because building muscle also builds bone and does add weight by a bigger frame, so if toned, a higher weight may be appropriate. That stated, I found that a high fiber low fat diet as a permanent change is the best path. I have lost about 30 pounds without additional exercise. There is no cheat day because you would not be on a diet. Instead, you would have a variance day from your normal diet and should take care not to overindulge very often.
Take a multivitamin once a day like Twinlabs or Centrum or other quality vitamin to cover many body needs and cravings. Give up fried foods and high fat foods. Try to eat a lot of whole grain and vegetables and fresh wild caught fish and skinless chicken. Skim milk and fat-free dairy is OK. Drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters a day), and take at least 20 minutes to eat a meal as that is the amount of time it takes to feel satisfied. Stick to 3 meals a day and 2 light snacks maximum. Snacks could be an apple or pear or an ounce of nuts or some carrots or celery, etc.
See my answer here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgjzRgo8Uw45jN.jmmbopk7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111104185636AAlpG8q
and follow through the links to a general healthy plan and food nutrition tables.
Think long term. Calories in minus calories burned is the net stored or lost. If you find yourself either gaining or not losing weight from your ideal numbers, then reduce serving sizes, but there is no reason to go hungry and starve yourself. Instead, eating fresh foods with low chemicals consistently brings you to a good weight, and exercise tones and strengthens. It is that simple.

Whats my calorie intake to lose weight?

Question by : Whats my calorie intake to lose weight?
I’m an 18 year old female. 5’4 112lbs. I am moderately active. I eat healthy most of the time.
Right now I am consumin anywhere from 1200-1400cal/day. I seem to maintain with that.
Although, I want to lose about 12lbs over the next 2.5months.

How many calories should I be eating for weight loss? I am already going to be increasing my cardio/walking each day, but I want to know how much I should eat for weight loss. And should I maintain the amount I eat for weight loss when I reach my goal weight? Would the weight loss “calorie amount” then be the equivalent to my “maintenace” calories from then on?

How Can I Lose Weight Fast, Naturally, Healthily?

Question by Linny: How Can I Lose Weight Fast, Naturally, Healthily?
Hey everyone,

I’ve put on a lot of weight in the last year from while away at college, and I’d really like to get rid of it fast! In a month I’m going away to visit my boyfriend in his home town, and was hoping to surprise him. I am not expecting any miracles in a month, but I am hoping that i’ll be able to lose at least a few pounds and maybe look better!

A little about me: I’m 19 years old, female, a tall 5’6 nearly 5’7, and currently weigh 143 lbs. In early 2009 I weighed 120 lbs, and I really wish I could get back down to that weight. However, I don’t know much about losing weight, aside from “regular diet and exercise!”

How much weight can I expect to lose in a month? How often should I be exercising? Do you have any weight loss “rules of thumb” that you know of, or that have helped you or others in the past?

Best answer:

Answer by Seagull
Eat 1 gram protein per pound bodyweight, and supplement the protein meals with lots of vegetables. Eat a reasonable amount of whole grains and fruit, but not too much. Also, make sure you eat fat, or else your body will actually start storing and producing (from carbs) fat to make up for what it’s not getting.

Exercise – weightlifting or bodyweight exercises primarily. Lean muscle mass burns fat all day, and will make your body shrink, even though you may not lose weight. Women who have started weightlifting for the first time often experience no weight loss or even weight gain, but a drop in a clothing size or two. Supplement weightlifting with cardio.

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

Would this be considered “having difficulty losing weight”?

Question by Audrey: Would this be considered “having difficulty losing weight”?
I have pretty much every symptom of PCOS and I’m gonna go get checked out by a doctor but I was wondering if I fit the symptom “having difficulty losing weight”. I went on a diet where I counted calories and ate 1200 calories every day, and most of the food was healthy too instead of just having 1200 calories of junk food. I went on the treadmill at a fast-walking pace for 40 minutes every day except every now and then when I skipped a day. I was on that diet for like a month and a half, and only lost like 2 to 5 pounds out of the like 35 that I have to lose.

Best answer:

Answer by Aviation747
You should lose 1-2 lbs per week in order for the weight loss to be maintained.

However, that should put you at losing a minimum 6lbs, and perhaps more since you just started a more active & healthy lifestyle. So, yes, I’d consider that having difficulty losing weight.

Good luck! =)

Why is there so much acai berry promotion?

Question by Steve: Why is there so much acai berry promotion?
I keep reading all these posts here about acai berry, and either they’re spamming or this is some new miracle solution to all your problems(and I’ve given up on miracles). Can anyone explain what this is and what it does?

Best answer:

Answer by Cara
Yes, I can….it is simply another weight loss scam. I bought it. The sales pitch and the pills. They were using Oprah’s face in their advertising…and Dr. Oz, who is on her show regularly…..so I bought it. BUT….by the time I received it in the mail…..my brain kicked in. They cut their own throats, because I thought….if Oprah takes this stuff for weight loss and is not thin, then it must not work. Sooo as soon as I got it….I returned it. Oprah announced on her show..she was in no way affiliated w/this product and is considering a law suit.
None of that weight loss stuff works….After many months of trying they finally manage to get them out of the eye of the public, but…they just repackage and come back again. People will do anything for a simple way to lose wght.

About a “Diet Pill” Zylene?

Question by Angela H: About a “Diet Pill” Zylene?
Ok people what exactly is this pill for? Side effects?? etc.

Best answer:

Answer by CZ
ZYLENE is cool, but the ACAI diet is NOT!

The ACAI diet is a ripoff. “They offer you a free trial and, once you’ve given them credit card details, they keep charging. They’ve charged $ 89.31 for some rubbish. Don’t get caught! This is a racket! You never know how much money will be charged to your account until you receive your credit card statement! And if you complain to your bank, you can’t do anything, because the idiots don’t give you any information! Please don’t get caught in this racket! And do not reveal your credit card details at all !”

The ACAI diet sucks! “I was promised ACAI for $ 4.99. When I went to check my statement, I saw that I was hit with a $ 44.85 fee. ACAI IS A BIG SCAM!

The ACAI diet doesn’t even work! “I tried the ACAI diet for five (5) days. No results! I had withdrawal symptoms of nervousness and depression. It took 2-3 days to get it out on my system. I should have known! I’m not using ACAI any more!”

Consumers prefer ZYLENE! For just a few dollars a month, you get Zylene. Zylene has MANY TERRIFIC ingredients as follows:

Chromium
—————
is an essential trace mineral that aids in glucose metabolism, regulation of insulin levels, and maintenance of healthy blood levels of cholesterol and other lipids. Chromium forms part of a compound in the body known as glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which is involved in regulating the actions of insulin in maintaining blood sugar levels and, possibly, in helping to control appetite.
* Increases insulin sensitivity*
* Reduces body fat*
* Reduces cholesterol and triglyceride levels*
* Increases lean body and muscle mass*

Resveratrol
—————–
is a naturally occurring phytoalexin produced by some higher plants in response to injury or fungal infection. Phytoalexins are chemical substances produced by plants as a defense against disease. It occurs in the vines, roots, seeds, and stalks, but its highest concentration is in grape skins and red wines. Resveratrol interferes with all three stages of cancer formation: initiation, promotion and progression. It is believed that Resveratrol is the reason that proves the French paradox, stating that despite the French having diets high in saturated fats, they suffer relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease. It is extracted from the shrub, Polygonum Cuspidatum which…
* Reduces the risks of cancer*
* Reduces the risk of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)*
* Increases energy levels*
* Provides some cardiovascular protection*
* Lowers blood sugar levels*
* Antioxidant effects*

Bioperine
————–
is an extract obtained from the black pepper fruit that is cultivated in the damp, nutrient-rich soil regions of southern India . The delicate pepper berries are harvested just prior to ripening and then sun dried to assure optimum maturity and quality. The extract of piperine, called Bioperine in the patented form, has been clinically tested in the United States. Bioperine significantly enhances the bioavailability of various supplement nutrients through increased absorption. Piper Longum is the flowering vine that produces the black pepper fruit.
* Increases adsorption of other supplements*
* May aid in digestion

Cissus Quadrangularis
——————————–
is a medicinal and culinary plant native to India and Africa. Phytochemical analyses reveal a high content of ascorbic acid, carotene, phytosterol substances and calcium. Cissus Quadrangularis is used by common folk in India to hasten the fracture healing process. In Cameroon, the whole plant is used in oral re-hydration, while in Africa and Asia the leaf, stem, and root extracts are utilized in the management of various ailments.
* Reduces triglycerides and LDL cholesterol levels (bad cholesterol)*
* Reduces body fat*
* Lowers blood sugar levels*
* Increases lean muscle mass*
* Antioxidant effects*
* Improves cardiovascular risk factors*

Caralluma Fimbriata
—————————–
is a succulent plant, in the cactus family, that has been used as a natural appetite suppressant in India for centuries. Like hoodia gordonii, caralluma finbriata has been used to suppress appetite, and as a portable food for hunting. It is also sometimes considered a “famine food,” used during periods of famine to suppress appetite. For centuries, people in rural areas of India have eaten Caralluma Fimbriata, which grows wild over various parts of the country.
* Appetite suppressant*
* Decreases BMI and body fat*
* Decreases waist and hip circumference*
* Promotes weight loss*

Hoodia Gordonii
———————–
is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. The chemical constituents in Hoodia, P57, work within the satiety center by releasing a chemical compound similar to glucose, but are up to 100,000 times more powerful. The hypothalamus receives this signal as an indication that enough food has been consumed and this in turn stunts the appetite.
* Appetite Suppressant*
* Promotes weight loss*
* May enhance mental performance

Garcinia Cambogia
—————————-
is a natural form of Hydroxcitric acid (HCA) which can inhibit an enzyme in cells, citrate lyase, which is needed for the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. In the cell, carbohydrates are broken down into citrate compounds, which are then converted (by citrate lyase) into another compound; acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA)- the metabolic building block for fat synthesis. Garcinia can inhibit fat production and suppress appetite.
* Promotes weight loss*
* Suppresses appetite*
* Inhibits the conversion of carbohydrates into fat*
* May reduce blood lipids*
* Increases energy*

Gymnema Sylvestre
—————————–
is a herb native to the tropical forests of southern and central India and parts of Asia. It is used as a natural treatment for diabetes for nearly two millennia. The herb’s active ingredient, gymnemic acid, is extracted from leaves and roots, and helps to lower and balance blood sugar levels.
* Promotes weight loss*
* Suppresses appetite*
* Reduces “bad cholesterol”*
* Increases metabolism*
* Reduces blood sugar levels*
* May help build lean muscle mass*

Eleutherococcus Senticosus:
————————————–…
is termed an adaptogen. An adaptogen is defined as a therapeutic and restorative tonic generally considered producing a “balancing” effect on the body. In general, an adaptogen can be thought of as a substance that helps the body to deal with stress. Its action in the body is due to its stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis to secrete adrenal corticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH has the ability to bind directly to brain cells and can affect a variety of behaviors in the body. These behaviors might include motivation, vitality, performance and arousal.
* Mood Enhancing*
* Promotes weight loss*
* Improves psychophysical performance*
* Hypoglycemic (reduces blood sugar)*
* Fights cancer and tumors*

Coix Seed
—————-
is the seed of the herb Coix Lacryma-jobi produced mainly in Fujian, Hebei and Liaoning provinces. The whole plant is harvested in autumn when the fruit is ripe. The fruit is picked, husked and dried in sunlight. It is used as both a healing herb in traditional Chinese medicine, along with a food.
* Antioxidant effects*
* Anti-carcinogenic*
* Boosts immune system*
* Promotes weight loss*
* Reduces cancer pain*
* Anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and fever-reducing properties*

Poria Cocos
——————-
is a medicinal mushroom, widely used and highly respected in Asia. It’s almost unknown here in Western medicine. In the wild, Poria Cocos grows much like the gourmet delicacy, the European Truffle mushroom, only it grows around the roots of certain pine trees instead of oaks. In the traditional Chinese medicine, it is said to soothe the heart, strengthen vital energy, and assuage agitation. One of the reasons Poria Cocos is so highly valued is because, as with other mushrooms, the active compounds are extremely easy to digest and assimilate.
* Enhances, protects, and restores liver function*
* Modulates the immune system*
* Balances blood sugar*
* Boosts fat metabolism*

Cassia Seed
——————-
is a herb that is said to be a warming tonic, similar in action to cinnamon. The Cassia tree is an ornamental evergreen that is indigenous to Burma and South China, with other species native to Sri Lanka, Java, Malaysia and other parts of Southeast Asia. Cassia grows both wild and cultivated in hot, wet climates in a minimum of fifty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, and thrives in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It’s one of the oldest spices known to mankind.
* Boosts the immune system*
* Anti-carcinogenic*
* Protects and detoxifies the liver*
* Aids in digestion*
* Anti-inflammatory*
* Increases energy levels*

Lotus Leaf:
—————-
is better known as the water lily. It’s considered sacred in Asian religions for its ability to stay dry and clean. When water drops on the leaf, it beads up and rolls off the waxy surface, washing away dirt as it goes. Scientists have worked to mimic its water-repellent, self-cleansing properties, developing a simple, inexpensive ways to create similar synthetic coatings. The surface of the lotus leaf is not perfectly smooth, but rather porous much like that of a sponge. The air trapped in the crevices prevents water from adhering to the solid.
* Antioxidant effect*
* Reduces stress-induced behavioral depression*
* Lowers the risk of cancer*
* Helps the body synthesize collagen (fights wrinkles)*
