Need to shed some pounds.

[MsEerie]

Doctor doctor! I need to lose some weight. DI na magkasya clothes ko. What else can I do besides exercise? Paano ba ako mawawalan ng appetite dahil ang takaw takaw ko these days? Please help.

[???§ÎNNëÐ???]

MsEerie,

that's it, you sould cut on your food intake. pero when it comes to overpowering appetite medyo mahirap 'yun, pero your will should prevail. no pain, no gain.

[Ira]

You have to decrease your daily caloric intake and exercise; there's really no easy way. The best type of diet would be acquiring a habit which you can live with for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, a lot of people think that they can go back to their old food habits once they've reached their goal. You can't, that's why there's a need to establish a proper eating habit--it will have to last you your whole life.

Remember, 1 pound is 3,500 calories. So even if you cheat on your diet a little, don't exceed that limit. Corollarily, you also have to burn 3,500 calories per pound you want to lose. Throw out your hi-cal snacks--airpopped corn in lieu of Chippy or Lay's would be good. If your mom serves fattening foods during mealtimes, see if you can get yourself excused from eating with them in the meantime, or just stick to the veggies, fruits, and fish. Stay away from fried and fatty foods. Check the calories in packagings. And of course, exercise. That's the best way to make those pounds disappear faster.

About the "takaw takaw" bit--when I was dieting the foremost thing in my mind when I get tempted was "Naku, kung kumain ako nito di bagay sa akin ang backless", or something to that effect. Since I'm a bit of a clotheshorse, it worked for me, and I get less tempted. See if you can gift yourself with a nonfood substitute (doesn't have to be anything expensive!) everytime you lose a couple of pounds.

i have a problem. im small (ok ok pandak) and also chubby, how can i shed some pounds w/o affecting my growth rate (im still a growing child)? and, any tips on how to grow taller?

[Ira]

The best way to lose weight would still be to take less calories than what you're taking in now, and exercising. The only time your growth would be stunted is if you starve yourself to death (as in, not eating at all). Otherwise, a sensible diet won't stop you from growing taller.

As for adding vertical inches...I'm afraid it's hereditary, so there's not much you can do about it.

MsEerie : pero kung u r like me na tamad mag diet ng matino...may alternative dyan...mag papaka B.I. ako..hehehe..mag bangkok pills ka..talab agad... kaya lang d sya safe e...pero kung tatanungin mo ako kung tumalab..talab talaga! kaya lang nga... mag mumukha kang addict kasi wala kang tulog... kaya mukha na nga daw akong addict e...hehehe...

[MsEerie]

Salamat sa inyong mga advice. Balang araw mag babakles din ako. Hehehe :P

[p.i.joe]

Has anyone heard or read about Dr. Atkins Diet?

[grumpy]

p.i.joe: go look in the gaining weight thread.

eerie baby: about the bkk pills, i said it before, i'll say it again: fit, dead, fit, dead. hmm, not much of a choice, really.

[Ira]

So we're back with the fit dead thing. Eerie, take it from someone who's lost close to 100 lbs. : You need to diet AND exercise. Don't take the easy way out.

thankx ira!

prescribed ba ang after 6 meal? kse a friend told me effective daw.

[Ira]

I don't believe in that after 6 diet. The only trick is to eat sensibly.

Hello guys,

I agree with Ira.. exercise and eat sensibly
if possible no snacks in between, if you are craving for something, snack on fruits instead or veggies..like carrots

[Polly_pocket]

everything I read about dieting, alam kna...but still filing ko di rin **** pumupayat...the most effective way is exercise ****, pro dahil sa fast-paced tau **, no time for gym or exercise...na-try kna maggym nun college,pro when I looked at may arms, grabe hindi ** *** pantay,no choice,kelangan ko **** bumalik sa gym para bumalik ang arms ko.....kaya before going to gym, think twice, make sure na kaya mong panindigan, xe once you stop,panget na ulit ang figure mo!!

Hi, everyone,

I really need good and expert advice here. I will be getting married exactly next month, and in line with this, I hope to lose weight, perhaps 10 to 15 pounds.

I easily gain weight, but I can also easily lose it. I just don't have that much motivation lately because I was too tied up with work and other things. I know it's going to be a drastic one for me, but I'm desperate. I am optimistic that I will be able to maintain it once the wedding is all over.

Can someone suggest to me a regular workout routine and a diet that's good for a month?
