Hello Everyone! oops! Its very nice to be here. I m a Dr. and senior rugby player too. I am here to share and to learn with you about some best diet formulas!
I have been working out in gym for last two weeks.
I own 149 lbs today and two weeks b4.
As I workout hard in gym and do a lot of fasting.
But, my weight doesn't go down for last two weeks. It should go down as I am working hard....Why it doesn't??
I am so worried, if I remain the same.
I wanna loose my weight up to 120 lbs.
I will be appreciate if any one helps me suggesting a perfect diet supplement.
Am I going wrong....???
Thanks.

I don't know unless maybe you are not eating the right proteins along with your workouts...
I have a weight loss/diet blog that I promote, let me know if you want the link to the blog - maybe you can find something on there.

I am not a doctor but if your fasting, perhaps you are slowing down your metabolism making your body want to store and keep fats.
If you can somehow speed up your metabolism and make your body want to burn the stored fats, and drink plenty of water to flush it out, perhaps you'll see different results.
Having said that, best bet is to consult an expert.
Good luck,
Mike

You need to be specific about working hard. What does that mean exactly? 2hours of cardio combined with 2 hours of weight training or what if you leave details I can help.
I have no idea what to suggest unless you give me a breakdown of what you're doing right now. This includes what you're eating, exactly what exercises, sleep habits, it all counts.

Actually, it wasn't good to do fasting. As it will hurt your body even more. Maybe you can have some fruits and vegetables instead of fasting.
Just my 2 cents

Hi Mary John,
Sonni is right: "Workout" means something different to everyone.
You should get your heart rate up for at least a half hour at a time.
Frequency matters too: You have to do it several times a week.
You also have to watch your intake of food and reduce foods high in fat and high in calories. Cut out chemicals such as tobacco, caffeine, and alcohol.
Losing weight is about lifestyle change.
Weight comes off slowly. Don't focus on how much you lose each week. Just change your intake and physical output.
Some find it helpful to count calories.
Good luck,
~Newbie Shield~

I've been a vegetarian my whole adult life. While my meat-eating
friends are packing-on guts at my age, I stay fit and trim.
Maybe it's a natural metabolism, but my brothers have love handles too... and they eat meat.
My guess is that if you can master your appetites enough to adopt a healthy vegetal-oriented diet you'll find it easier to stay trim.

Good for you..... but I sure like my meat... we pretty much live off the land as far as meat is concerned, not much chemicals in venison

If thats how you figured out your maintenance thats probably the most reliable way. Judging by that number I would way roughly 2300 is a good place to start, If you don't drop at least a pound drop a few more calories. Its better to start a little high, one because you have more energy for the gym, and two because if you stall out, you can go a little lower without consuming the calories of a grade 7 girl.

Hi MM,
I admire you for that.
I've been a vegetarian now for over 15 years and I wouldn't go back to eating meat for any reason.
Back in the early 90's I read a bunch of Eastern philosophy and saw a bunch of animal cruelty videos. I stopped eating meat right away.
Who wants to eat rotting corpse or become a walking grave yard anyhow?
Not many truly stop and question what they're doing or why. Our friends and family do things so we do them too without giving our habits much thought.
It takes courage and wisdom to take a step back and honestly analyze the ethics and the whys behind our habitual behavior. It takes even more courage to weed out the bad habits regardless of how much personal pleasure they might bring.
And for all of you egg eaters out there, did you know that you're eating chicken menses?
EWWW!
Hee :D

Hi!
It sounds like you're fairly active...do you have a hunch about the foods that are causing your weight challenges?
I coach soccer and am a personal trainer and I see sugar over and over as the usual culprit.
Luckily, there are more options now to side step that challenge!

Fasting is okay but it does not mean you are going to lose weight. Lower your calories, fat, and bad carbs[junk foods]. Raise protein intake in a. m. Raise fiber intake. Keep your workout up using light weights and lots of reps.
Good Luck!

I just wanted to point out that muscle weighs more than fat. It is entirely possible to work out hard, lose fat, and gain weight due to the increased muscle mass. Just stepping on a scale and using that number as the sole indicator of your fitness can give you the false impression that you aren't making progress. Tracking changes to your measurements (like waist circumference for example) can be a much better tool.
Oh, and I second what SovereignWealth said about fasting slowing metabolism. It puts the body in a sort of "survival mode" where calorie conservation and storage (ie fat deposition) is increased. In addition, the body becomes more efficient at using the limited calories it takes in, so that when you go back to eating normally, the elevated caloric intake results in even greater fat deposition. That's why many people gain back more weight than they lose through starvation diets.
Basically the only way to increase resting metabolism is by increasing muscle mass. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest. Of course, this can increase weight, so like I said before, don't focus so much on that number and instead focus on how you look and feel.

Interval training is also a good way to crank up the intensity a little at a time. It's the intensity of exercise that ups the metabolism. Then you need weight training to get more muscle so that you can burn more calories/fat. I weigh less now than ever at 102 pounds and the credit goes to super set weight training techniques.

Not sure if anyone said it but fasting could put you body into starvation mode since it will store fat because it does not know when it will get its' next meal. Try eating 6 small meals a day. Low carbs. Keep a food diary also and find a work out buddy.

Hi There,
okay you want to lose weight no problem can help, First of all what you need to look at is what the core foods you are eating everyday this will be a starting point for you. Fasting will put the body in starvation mode a few things could happen to you such as fatigue your waste coul become compact causing constipation and vital proteins will be lost. You need to supplement if your body does not have the correct amount of nutrients everyday over time your body will be depleted which can lead to diet related diseases. I can certainly assist you no matter where you are in the world.

Hi I am adding this tip because some find it even harder when eating out ..if you are planning on eating out make sure you are familiar with the menu. If necessary call the restaurant and ask about salads, grilled meats etc. Don't be afraid to ask how food is prepared, contents in sauces etc. When you arrive at the restaurant don't be afraid to ask for your food to be prepared in a way that you can still follow your diet. If you are attending a party and know that there isn't going to be food there that is diet friendly, take food that you can eat and discreetly add your food to your plate. It is easy to take yogurt, fresh fruit, raw veggies, fiber filled crackers etc. to a party. If your hostess is truly your friend she will not be offended,\.
One more important point ALWAYS have food that you can easily reach for at home that is low in fat and fiber filled, this will help to detour your impulse eating!!

Hi there,
Honestly, I have not really had a weight problem (just lucky I guess) and seem to stay the same weight fluctuating about 3kg's either way. But my sister did have a huge weight problem and these are the rules that she followed which seemed to help.
She kept her calorie intake to 1000g a day (be careful here as she is only 5ft 2") so you need to make sure you have enough calorie intake for your height. (didnt matter what type of food just as long as she didnt exceed here limit)
She divided her meals up into 4 small meals a day.
Every morning she did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 30 minutes of tummy tucks and leg lifts etc.
It took time but she did eventually get to her ideal weight.
Hope this helps

I write and read many weight loss articles and blogs the best one I've read so far is" theloseweightdiet.com" site it's free and they do know what they're talking about. If you don't lose weight doing what that blog says then you're not doing what they tell you to do.

If you want to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit, meaning that you burn more calories than your body uses. You can either diet to stay below your body's calorie requirement, or you can burn the excess calories through excersise, or do a combination of both.

Or you can eat foods or supplements that burn more calories than
you consume. Celery and grapefruit actally burn more calories than they provide you with just through the digestion process which consumes calories.
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) burns stored fat around the lower abdomen. Chromium picolinate suppresses appetite but there is no scientific evidence it burns fat and builds muscle.
Also you may have undigested food in your intestine and need to do some colon cleansing using cascara sagrada,phsyllum husk,milk thistle,
aloe vera,white pine bark and a variety of other natural cleansers.
The Health-Nutrition directory on my website has extensive articles about all these topics and choices of many different weight loss products. But why would you want to weigh only 120 pounds?
