Lose the Carbs, Lose the Weight- True of False?

I read somewhere that all you need to do to literally shed pounds off is to cut carbs out entirely.
That leads me to believe that you can still eat red meats, sugars [ fruits, candy, etc] so long as there are limited to no carbs in them.
But wouldn't that be unhealthy? Because as it's being claimed, you can eat anything but food with carbs- and that leaves a lot of options.

Will it work? Will you lose weight just by cutting out carbs only?

Answers: That's a bunch of junk....The way not to do it is starve yourself, to start with. Just exercise and eat right. I did....lost 90 LBS because of it. Starving yourself won't help at all. Drink more water, eat less before bed, and don't eat for stress are the 3 things I follow and i'm going pretty well if i don't say myself. 90 LBS isn't anything like 5-10lbs so take my advice. If you want anymore details, feel free to email me. Just please be patient for ppl seem to email me for advice on this, I will reply, don't worry! ~Adia

FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE.

Don't believe me? Well Dr. Atkins is dead of heart disease so that should tell you something.

Carbs aren't necessarily bad for you. You should avoid your white breads/sugar and switch to something with more fiber in it for health reasons but it has little to do with weight gain/loss.

It is scientific FACT that the only thing that effects fat gain/loss is calories in/ calories out. You need to put out 3500 more calories than you input to lose 1 pound of fat. Dr. atkins' point was that by not eating carbs it would boost your metabolism leading to more calories out... There may be some validity to that but also consider if you're eating only meat type substances with no carbs, those are also high calorie foods causing the calorie intake to generally be higher. I personally wouldn't advocate an atkins style diet to anyone who is not a bad diabetic. The reason for that being that the atkins diet lack of carbs/sugar will help keep insulin levels normal.

Basically do this. Eat fruit, Eat vegetables, drink water, try to avoid processed foods, try to avoid sugar, and count calories that's the only way to diet unfortunately for you.

You are talking about a high protein low carb diet. These are not always safe and do have some health risks. If you insist on doing this, do not completely cut out carbs as that is what gives you energy. Carbohydrates are: breads, grains, pastas, sugars, most fruits, some veggies, potatoes or and root veggie, Milk contains carbs and most drinks as well. So a no carb diet would include, lean meat, fish, eggs, fat free cheeses, Green veggies, coffee, tea and water.
Please check with a doctor before starting any diet.

Most importantly........Start Today

Start a moderate exercise program and eat healthy foods. I lost 30 lbs in the past 6 months. The thing that got me to this point was to not think about losing weight. Instead, I thought about feeling better and living longer.

it can be very easy to lose weight!
the most easiest diet i know that will help u lose wieght, get ur skinner a healthy glow is to go vegetarian. i am one and i lost alot of weight and my acne was gone and my face started to glow =]]

yes you can. change your eating habits and add daily exercise. I did it and i did not have to watch my calories. Try to get the fat out of your diet and add instead brown rice, oatmeal, lots of veggies, fruit, etc. Stop drinking soda.
If you eat healthy, get adequate sleep, and get plenty of exercise, the weight will take careof itself. Also you will feel good.

I have no opinion about feeling sexy or not but i do know that as one gets older ones body changes and it does seem as tho women are not able to loose weight as well...just another way for the woman to not have control of what they want and don't want. I used to loose unwanted weight in just days, and then i noticed it taking longer and longer and now i don't think could loose weight for anything. You didn't say how young or old or what age you are...but i find it very difficult to loose weight now...i am 63. good luck

My mother is trying to lose weight with the atkins diet, but i'm trying to gain weight. Any suggestions?

I am 5' 6" and i weigh 106lbs. I'm tired of trying to find size 0 long pants and still have to be pulling them up all day. I want to be healthy again. What foods should i focus on and what ways can i go about gaining weight. Please keep in mind I'm a pretty busy person. I have alot of homework to do and I'm in a few clubs at school that require alot of my attention.

Answers: You'd need to do some resistance training to gain muscle. Eat sensibly, low fat, high protein and carbohydrate. One of the fastest ways to gain weight is to drink sodas and fruit juices in between meals.

Eat foods high in nutritional and caloric value. Carbohydrates from non-white sources (like white rice, white bread, those are bad) and eating lots of lean meat (full of protein) is also good. Yogurt and shakes are high in calories also but make sure there isn't too much sugar. If you're always in the go, just make a quick whole wheat sandwich with cheese and a glass of milk.

The most important thing is that the weight gain is from good calories and not bad fats.

First of all, I have to address your mother's weight loss efforts: The Atkins Diet is one of the WORST ways to lose weight. When you deprive your body of carbohydrates, it goes into a starvation mode. Which is makes you lose weight- carbs serve as fuel for our bodies. Once you go off the diet, more than likely you'll gain all of the weight you lost and then some. Okay, rant over.

Second- Lucky you- Indulge. If you want ice cream, then eat it. Carbohydrates and dairy are good foods to eat to pack on the pounds. Don't intentionally exercise either.

Good luck to both you and your mother!

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/ca... This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Cinnamon challenge how is it bad?

Answers: a tablespoon of cinnamon is poisonous to the body. If you dont gag and cough trying to get it into your mouth, your stomach automatically rejects it if you get it in.

Never heard of it! Are you supposed to lose weight that way?? Weird...

Oh, I see...So it's one of those pointless 'contests' like the milk challenge...I don't guess it's necessarily bad for you, but choking doesn't really sound good...

I am 14 and want ripped abs & have a small layer of fat over my abs what should i do that wont damage me?

I am 14 i have a small layer of fat in my abdominal area, I am big for my age and i am happy with the way my body fat/muscle is distributed over my body i am just unhappy with the abdominal area. How can i lose the abdominal fat and get ripped abs without becoming skinny everywhere else (I wouldnt be worried about losing in my legs ( the reason why is as im a vegetarian and I lack protein so a bit of fat here and there makes me look better) also my friends are always saying that i can do weights later and turn fat into muscle but if i do will i still get good results wouldnt the muscles be hidden in a bit of fat

Answers: At 14 I would not worry all that much. Exercise, run, do not smoke or use drug and eat a planned meal.
Get Iron -- Spinach, etc.
Get Protein --- Soy -- and others -- Fat can be found in nuts and foods like olives avocados etc.

Just off the cuff.

Hint --- while you are developing that bod --- develop your mind --- learn a 2nd or 3rd language, learn to like harmonic music, memorized a poem or three, and study art from Egypt to Pollack --- Women like men with a well developed sex organ ---- no not down there --- the biggest sex organ is the Brain --- don't waste it.

Answers: so u r a bit overweight for ur age, dont be so dramatic about it- you are not so fat. altho u do need to lose a bit of weight but if u do exercise and watch what u put in ur mouth most of that weight would come off as u get older anyway so just keep exercising and i hear u talk about pain but u know what they say, no pain no gain. good luck

I propose use gymnastics as the right sport for your problem. Learn how to say NO to the wrong food. And of course u have to always eat less than u need

you may inheret genes from your grandpops

yes:

My dad 5'8
My mom 5'7
My Brother (half) 5'11

I am 14 and want ripped abs & have a small layer of fat over my abs what should i do that wont damage me?

Answers: Lots of "crunches" (as in sit up form) . Lots of fish for protein and Omegas ( a "little" cheese/eggs) as it contains a lot of fat as well as essential proteins and calcium etc) being a vegetarian...green leaved veg for red blood muscle building iron -eaten with orange juice (vitamin C) to absorb the iron. Fat doesn't tend to lie where strong/used muscle tissue is and muscle actually burns up more calories overall.
You need calcium too at your age for bone growth so don't forget the milk. Try walking/cycling too...a 6 pack on fat legs aint gonna look in proportion.

Diet Pills?

Does anyone know any diet pills that actually do work?

Answers: For me acomplia has been the best. phentermine also showed good results, but i started to get addicted and it had way too nasty side effects.
happy not to have any sides with acomplia so far.
I am losing a pound or few every week.
It is very popular in UK, Germany and many other countries worldwide. Not so much in the US yet.
This is good site for Acomplia info if anyone's interested

yup theres two that have been clinically proven to work on prescription through your gp, but pills are a bit of a cop out, you should only go to them after you have tried at least three months of hard out diet and excercise then if not the pills

the two
are
xenical works by preventing the fat getting into your system
and reductil acts on your brain , tricking it to think you are full ie supressing your apettite

Diet pills may work (sometimes) for temporary weight loss, but for most of the time, you usually gain the weight you lost back. This is because losing weight is about lifestyle change, not about dieting and then eating whatever you want. If you would like weight loss tips, I have a blog about weight loss were I tell people the truth about losing weight and effective ways to lose weight.

Here's the link: http://theweightlossguidefortheclueless....

No. Diet pills will not solve your problem. Primarily because you would be losing a lot of proteins and other vitamins in foods. Rather avoid the fats and go gradually decreasing the candies. Do not eat big meals, opt for small meals throughout the day. In addition, an activity should help you lose calories too. Good luck for you!

I'm currently on my 3rd day of my juice diet got 2 more days to go, How much weight you think i have lost?

I only be drinking water and tea throughout the day and no food. The only food I eat is one bowl of cereal for breakfast and that's it. So, how much weight do you think I have lose? Keep in mine I still run, and do housework everyday. The correct weight lose will get 10 points

Answers: 7 pounds?
