- Chosen by Voters Actually your brother is right, diets do NOT work. They might work for a while, but 99% of the time people gain the weight back if not more. Unfortunately I think it just needs to be someones time to lose weight. They need to live a healthier lifestyle all together. Eating healthy instead of dieting. I am on my journey right now, and I eat so much that I have no time to be hungry. I have lost 13 pounds in 2 weeks. But I just woke up one day and said THIS is my time. I didnt say I will start Monday, I just did it. Eating is like any other addiction, the person will not stop or change until it is their time. If you can get your brother to join the league at The Biggest Loser, there are great tips there, and many people who will encourage him. There is also a site called sparkpeople.com and it can plan out your meals, or you can put in what you eat and it calculates the amount of calories, fat, protein and carbs you ate, and it also shows you by your weight and height and the amount of weight you want to lose in what amount of time how much of calories fat protein and carbs you should have each day. But like I said it will only work if HE wants it to! Good luck! 3 years ago 100% 1 Vote

Has anyone tried the new weight loss supplement SlimChews?
I was a little skeptical at first, but after trying SlimChews, I'm hooked! I've tried other soft chew supplements that taste like chalk, but SlimChews really taste good. Kind of like a Starburst and a Fruit Roll-Up combined. Besides the great taste, they have really helped me lose weight. I've lost 15 pounds over the last couple of months. I know at one time they were offering a $1 trial for a limited time. I ordered them online at http://www.slimchews.com. You should definitely try them! 3 years ago Great! I'll be sure to try them. Thanks!

What weight loss supplements would you suggest?
- Chosen by Voters DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS! They are dangerous!!Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.

Will water fasting before raw food diet effect weight loss?
After water fasting of course weight loss will slow down. That's because food is being introduced into your system and food has weight. When there's food in your intestines and digestive system, you will weigh more. However, that's not fat.Also, the weight you lose on a water fast will be mostly water weight, because your sodium and water tables will be off. With no sodium to hold onto the water, the water will go down your toilet, so to speak. Once you begin to eat foods and introduce sodium, you will gain that water back. That's why it's so important to always drink a lot of water.Good luck with your raw food.
6 months ago I've done water fasts before and successfully kept the weight off so lets hope that happens again! i was more concerned with the raw foods afterwords. thanks so much though!!

How Can I Motivate Through My Weight Loss?
Reward yourself. Every week, do something for yourself if you stick to your plan. For example, get yourself a manicure or pedicure. Or a new magazine. Really anything but food, which is kind of common sence. I mean, "YAY, I'VE BEEN EATING HEALTHY AND EXCERSIZING FOR A WEEK, NOW I'LL GO EAT A CHOCOLATE BAR AND GAIN IT BACK!!" Too bad it doesn't work that way *sighs* So yeah, do little weekly things, and if you have like a date to work up to (like, I'll do this plan until June 1st), go out shopping when it's over, and buy your self a new outfit to show off your adorable little figure! Have fun, sweetie! God bless and good luck! Source(s): www.me.comwww.myself.cawww.i.org (if you know what im saying

Weight loss?
- Chosen by Voters okay, well since you've been working this hard, i'm sure that if you continue doing so, you will look really different and people will notice. they will also notice your fat weight turning into muscle weight. which by the way, weighs more. don't use the scale as a measurement of how you are doing. muscle weighs more. use how good you feel as a measurement, how your clothes fit, etc.from what i've read you are doing everything just fine. keep it up.sorry i couldn't offer more help. but you will start to see differences. 4 years ago 100% 2 Votes
