Open Question: Im 5′1, 123 lbs, eat 1200 cal, exercise for 2 hrs, done this for 5 weeks, no slimming. whats wrong with me?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

Even before this diet I fasted for about two weeks, lost absolutely no weight! What??? I’m so confused and frustrated. For the last 5 weeks I’ve jump roped for an hour and weight trained for an hour, and did this 6 days of the week. Still no weight loss. What can I do? Am I in starvation mode and need to correct it? Do I need to just keep going even though normal people should be seeing a weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week? I’m short and most of my fat is concentrated in my thighs; and I’ve heard spot reduction doesn’t work. So much information is coming at me from so many places, what’s true? I don’t know what to do anymore but just present my personal problem and ask HELP!
Er, also, is it a good idea to do a cleanse? i was thinking lemon detox…but this may be a bunch of bs

Open Question: What will my stretch marks look like….?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

after I lose a ton of weight? I’ve already lost about 20lbs. of my 80lbs goal. I’ve been fat forever, so my all over stretch marks are pretty large. Most of them are already scarred over, but I do have some new ones from weight loss. Will they look even worse when my tummy is smaller??

Open Question: What is the best workout routine for me?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

Alright, so I’m 5′7″ and weigh 151 pounds. I’m carrying a few extra pounds than I want to, but I’m only looking to drop like 10-15 pounds. But, I also want to build muscle.

I’ve been working out on and off for the past 3 years, so I’m not really new to this per-se. What I want to know is, should I find a combination of running and lifting, or will the running interfere with my muscle buildup from the lifting? Or will lifting ALONE get me the results I want (losing a little excess fat and building the muscle)? Or maybe I should focus on fat loss for a month, and after losing the fat proceed with gaining muscle?

Resolved Question: D you think this is a good start to my research paper?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

I am doing a research paper on how the media affects women’s body image and I am starting my paper off with a narrative…HERE IT IS…

“I’m so fat…I’ll do anything to be skinny…I haven’t eaten anything all day.”
That was what Tiffany told her friend one night as she looked into the mirror. Everybody saw Tiffany as a beautiful girl with a great body, but the problem was Tiffany didn’t see it for herself. Tiffany was seventeen years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighed 135 pounds. She was in great shape, but every time she looked at herself she saw nothing but fat.
Tiffany had developed an eating disorder two and a half years ago. That was around the time she began getting into fashion and her body image. Not a day went by that Tiffany wouldn’t pick up the latest edition of Cosmopolitan or Vogue magazine, and she wouldn’t dare to miss an episode of America’s Next Top Model. By looking at these magazine and television images of skinny models and celebrities Tiffany became more and more obsessed with her body.
At first Tiffany’s weight loss regimen was to eat healthy, exercise, and always make sure she had a magazine image hanging right in front of her for inspiration. After a few weeks went by the weight wasn’t coming off fast enough for her, so she started eating very little to no food at all. At first nobody noticed that she had a problem, but soon enough people started to notice a change in her appearance and personality. She always looked tired, she barely hung out with friends, and her once healthy body was now the size of a stick. Tiffany’s eating disorder became really bad, and before her family could get her help, they found her passed out in her room barely breathing.

I’ll end it there and that’s when I will start to transition into my research…My conclusion would start off where my narrative left off and I will sum up the rest of my research…

Open Question: MMA weight loss question!?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

Hey everyone!

I’m switching from playing college football, I was a defensive end, to doing mma fighting. I wresled in hs and have a tae kwon do black belt and a brown belt in judo and would love to learn mui tai, kempo and more wrestling skills, but i weight way too much for the sport and I CAN’T SEEM TO LOOSE A POUND! so…

I wanted to get some smart opinions on what my nutritional intake should be while I’m on a fairly intense workout regimen that I’m currently doing. So my over all goal of my diet/work out is to loose excess fat, while increasing muscle (at least maintaining I would like to keep what I’ve worked damn hard to make).

ME:

Height - 6′3″
Weight - 285 (I was a defensive linemen, think Julius Peppers not pudgy fat kid)
BMI - 35.6 (BMI is bull **** but thought I’d put it in)

Workout:

Mon - Wed - Fri
-Rowing machine, bike and elliptical trainer (I do 5 mins of each for 30 min rotating)
-Shoulder, Back and Leg weight training
-20 mins in the sauna (feels great and supposed to help loose water weight)

Tue - Thur - Sat
-Sprints (4-200 yards 4 100 yards and 4 50 yards)
-Chest, Triceps, Biceps and ab weight training
-20 mins on the heavy bag and jump rope
-10 mins in sauna

Sun - OFF!

Right now I’m taking tons of supplements. One 60 gram of protein shake a day, one sustained release protein shake before bed, 2 30 gram of protein bars a day, nano vapor, cell tech, intravol, L-Glutatmine tabs, hydroxycut hardcore (got it free, not sold on it) and a amino 3000mg pill. Thinking of doing a beginner cutting stack, but doubt I will.

My goal weight would be around 235-240 by October, maybe September.
So let me know the last piece, the nutrition. Total daily calorie fat protein and carb intake! Right now I’m in the 260-290 range for protein. Thanks!!

Open Question: Do body-fat-measuring devices accurately reveal one’s percentage?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

I saw a device that looked something like this:

http://www.thefurniture.com/store/images/MG/BodyFatAnalyzer.jpg

I guess a person just puts their thumbs on the metal pieces and get a reading… but I was curious; are these sorts of things accurate? If not, where else, or how else could I have my body fat percentage determined?

Is keeping track of body fat percentage a good means for keeping track of weight loss and fitness?

Open Question: Does the caloric content of food change during cooking?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

Disregarding any fats or oils that are added during the cooking process, does the caloric content of food change during cooking? I assume that if I roast 300 calories worth of potatoes in the oven without adding any oil, they’ll still be 300 calories when I take them out… perhaps a bit less due to some moisture loss, but not much. Does the development of sugars during cooking (eg, caramelizing an onion) change the caloric content?

I’ve always thought that what goes in calorie wise is what comes out after cooking. Is that right?

Resolved Question: I’m a male, and my chest/right breast is getting bigger?

Posted by Yahoo! Answers: Search for  Published in Weight Loss FAQ's, Weight Loss News

This is an incredibly odd question for me to ask, and I feel a bit embarrassed doing so. As a disclaimer, however odd this all sounds, it’s entirely serious.

I’m in my mid-20s, in decent health and shape. Over the past three months I’ve started to get more in shape and lose weight to get down to a more healthy level. I’ve made some good progress with my weight-loss, but something strange happened that I just started to notice. While the rest of my body was getting smaller, my right pectoral started getting fatter. It’s as if I have an actual breast growing on my chest. It’s so strange because it’s only on one side, and is very obvious to me as it is very disproportionate. I know it’s not a matter of the rest of my body losing weight except for my right pec, as I have noticed a legitimate increase in size.

I’m at a complete loss and I’m not sure what to do. I’m too embarrassed to go to the doctor over this. Is this anything that someone has heard of before? Will this EVENTUALLY even itself out with the rest of my body if I continue to exercise?

Please help!
