My metabolism has slowed down a lot within the past year (after I turned seventeen). Before I was always underweight and I ate junk all day long (and as much as I wanted) because I could. Now I can’t eat anything like that without gaining weight.

So I started to read more about dieting and weight loss/management. Most sources told me that you’re supposed to only eat enough so that you’re satisfied, but not until you’re full (as in always having a little room for something more). I added fruits and vegetables to my diet, as well as other healthy foods, and now I’m at the same weight that I was before.

Here’s my question: I’m going to be staying with my aunt, uncle, and cousins for an entire week sometime this month. They buy nothing but junk food (twinkies, frozen pizza, cookies, chips, cocoa puffs for breakfast, etc.). Is it possible, if I follow the "stop eating when you’re no longer hungry" rule, that I can still maintain my weight?

No, you need to limit your fat intake which if eating pizza, cookies, chips etc is way to high and you might gain weight. those food are not entirely healthy. You should go for high protein, low fat foods while there.

I was just wandering if the following steps that I am taking will result in successful weight loss and management?

My diet, now, only includes raw foods i.e. being fresh, unprocessed, whole foods (fruits, vegetables, grains etc). Across the week, I incorporate lean meat, fish, chicken, eggs. Across the day, I increase the amount of fruit and vegetables in meals (esp. to snack on!), alongside yogurts, nuts, museli, grains and such. I mainly drink water, otherwise oranges I squeeze (when I’m not lazy, otherwise water it is) and chrysanthemum tea - only because I like the taste, and it warms me up in the morning.

I have recently joined a gym, and have been going 4 out of 7 days a week for the past month. Every session, I work out for roughly an hour, most of the time with an extra 15minutes or so. My workout routine consists of both cardio and weight training - in intervals… So I begin with 20mins of cardio (usually 10kms on bike, but sometimes, just a brisk walk on treadmill @ 5.5-6 speed), then I stretch, use the fitness ball, and use machine weights. Then, I go back for 5-10mins of cardio (usually elliptical or treadmill). Afterward, I would train with some free weights - doing reps and such and some medicine ball twists, crunches and a few stretches. Then I go back for one last 10 - 15min cardio on bike. And stretch to end… That’s pretty much all I can fit in with my schedule.. school and homework calls. Oh, and I work out straight after school…

Any tips or advice? I’ll admit that I am quite overweight, but have a goal weight in mind, and hope to achieve it. I keep a ‘diary’ and record my food intake, and how many calories I burn from exercise along. Just counting the cardio, I burn a total of 700 calories per session, so with weight training… that’s a little on-top.

I believe that to burn fat, weight training is necessary as muscles do the actual ‘burning’ right? So, with that in mind, do you think what I’m doing now (the weights and cardio) is balanced? I gain weight proportionally, so I guess I will lose weight the same way? So will this type of ‘combined’ workout achieve this? I don’t want flab in one area.. and be toned in another.

Wow.. that’s quite a lot. If you’ve read it this far, kudos to you!

Thank-you in advance for any answers

I take a teen girls multivitamin (I’m 16), a super B-complex vitamin (I’m vegan), and weight management fiber choice tablets.

Taking multivitamins won’t help that much. Maybe if you take a meal replacements it might a little however if you planning to go that route I think taking herbs is safe for a teen but ask your doctor regardless if herbs are safe. Research Proactol or go to the site I provided below and search for the link that says Proactol. There are other pills however I think Proactol does the job as the combination of herbs contained in Proactol bind to fat as your eat and then throw them away. Check it out for yourself.

Hi everyone! This article gives great advice on how to make a yummy and healthy salad: http://www.examiner.com/x-46457-DC-Diets-Examiner~y2010m4d26-Salads-advance-weightloss-and-management
What do you guys do to your salad to make it extra special and yummy and healthy?

People who want to lose weight commonly, and first of all, think about reducing the amount of food they eat. This may be quite a solution but not exactly the best there is. In fact, depending on the amount you reduce in your food intake, it may even be dangerous to one’s health. So how does one lose weight effectively and safely? Here are some points one should consider when trying to lose weight:for more info…http://onlinecarez.blogspot.com/

I am a pre-vet student and came home from school and noticed our very large boned 3yr old Labrador to be quite overweight. He currently weighs 105lbs. Doing a body condition score, I put him at a 7. I estimate his ideal weight would be closer to 80 lbs. I have been slowly working up to a more intense exercise regimen for him this summer that I am hoping will be maintained once I go back to school, but I also want to get him on a weight management diet. I can’t decide between Science Diet’s Adult Light Large Breed dry formula, or Royal Canin’s MAXI Weight Care 27 dry formula. Has anyone had any experience with these foods and if so can you tell me what you thought of them?

Thanks!

I used at one time the Science Diet and it was pretty good. I also can suggest giving him raw carrots and lots of steamed green beans as treats or added to his food. The green beans fill them up and the raw carrots are good for their teeth. I give both to mine and they are not overweight at all. Also if it is hot out this summer you have to be careful with the exercise regimen you want to put him on. They get over heated real quick. Good luck

They’re capsules, so I can just empty the contents into whatever. The contents are really spicy and hard to take with water. Thanks.
It’s over the counter.

Color me curious
Is this something that you purchased over-the-counter
or prescribed by a Doctor?

Given that its a non-prescription weigh-loss product,
may I recommend that you try doing without it.
There are all sorts of strategies for dropping that surplus weight without spending $$$! on stuff that is advertised to do the job, but really may not and like I said, its something to try without the Diet-Pill … eat a nutritious diet and get some exercise…

Balanced meals-
piece of chicken, some brown rice, vegetables, and a little olive oil.

2 eggs, some whole grain toast, fruit, and some peanut butter

A salad with a scoop of tuna, Triscuits or a whole wheat roll, a little butter.
