Hey Guys,

I have been over weight my whole life. I eat 900 calories a day, and exercise well regularly. I am 14 years old, 164cm tall, and I weigh 75kg. I wear a size 10-12 . I am a 12F cup. Natural, and i am not obese, I just have a chubby tummy and pudgy legs. My bust and hip measurements are 107cm each, and my waist is 80 cm. I have lost 17cm off my waist and I have lost 10kg in the past year. I eat plenty of vegetables and fish, I am a vegetarian. I also drink lots of herbal tea.I occasionally snack on biscuits or jam on toast, but I don’t eat that much. I have bowel problems too. i have seen a dietician, who is puzzeld as to why I can’t lose weight (meaning fat). I have also tried the acai berry diet. NOTHING WORKS. I do have low self esteem, but i am learning to accept my curvy figure. I don’t want to be small, I just want to be slim.

I really need some genuine advice for weight loss, any tricks and tips; It’s distressing me beyond belief! I want to make my stomach flat and my thighs slim.

Thanks!!
Thanks so much guys, I couldn’t choose a best answer, because they’re all really good.
I do have anxiety disorder and I have always had a pot belly (not humongus, just rounded :/)
Interesting answer about body weight capacity…hm, Thankyou for bringing some science into that.

ps) Tiempo B guy, I’m not a pear, I’m an hourglass, due to my measurements, I just carry weight on my thighs and stomach. Why did you send me a picture of a pear shaped woman?

I have been on a diet since Christmas.
I have been going to the curves gym(30 minute circuit) 5 times a week and eating 1,000 calories a day with 1 litre of water everyday. I lost about 8 kgs. I was 65kgs and a week ago I was 56.8kgs.
A week ago, i decided to start walking everyday for an hour and to drink the Beesline slimming tea (herbal) after lunch and dinner. and I started drinking 2 litres of water instead of one, and I still go to the curves gym .

My question is, do you think I lost weight during this week? my goal is 53-54kgs.
My height is 166 and I am female, if that matters.

i read in a article:
How to Do the Master Cleanse

In a nutshell, the Master Cleanse is this:

* The diet takes at least 10 days (up to 40 days, the period of time that Jesus fasted after his baptism, as Burroughs points out)
* The only nourishment that you take is a special lemonade concoction made from lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, and water, six to twelve glasses per day, each glass containing about 110 calories in sugar carbohydrates
* An herbal laxative tea is drunk at night and a quart of salt water is drunk first thing in the morning, resulting in several liquid bowel movements every day — you need to always be near a toilet when you do this diet, and you need to stock up on toilet paper
* You come off the diet by transitioning to solid food over a few days, ideally becoming a raw food vegetarian in Stanley Burroughs’ version of the diet

Can I just drink only the special lemonade..not the salt water or herbal laxative tea?

and still lose weight?

i’m 17, 116 pounds (was 120 last week) and trying to go down to 110 pounds. (i’m only 5 feet tall, lol!)

i think i’ve been eating pretty good! i definately cut out all junk food and stuff! my old meals were like, chinese food with a large iced tea for lunch, than chicken cutlets french fries and cheese for dinner, and like two chocolate bars and two bags of chips for dessert (not even kidding. delicious, and i wasn’t even overweight. but i’m a little chubby now and i want to change that!)

SO ANYWAYS …………..

today i woke up late, 12:30 PM

around 1:30 PM i had a sandwich (two slices of bread, not a hero or anything, regular slices for toast), it was white bread =/ i ran out of wheat .. i had tuna fish, about half a can, with just a little bit of light mayo, cause i’m not a fan of mayo anyways. i put cheddar cheese slices =/ and some olives and lettuce on it, and ate it.
afterwards i ate a kiwi., around 2:30.

at 6:30, i had about a cup of spinach mixed with rice, it’s like a greek dish, i THINK it’s healthy for you…

and for dinner i’m gonna have chicken breast, probably grilled.. with corn on the cob and like a cup of mashed potatoes.

and for dessert i have a banana.

is this too much food? too many calories? i did about 100 crunches and i’m gonna walk about a mile or two later.

and is it okay if i eat ONION AND GARLIC WISE chips? it’s like not even 200 calories for the whole 50 cent bag. is it okay? or is it too many calories?

am i eating okay????

What are some things you do/use, or recipes you use that help you stay on your diet? My 2 favorite are:

1. Drinking flavored herbal teas throughout the day prevents cravings and tastes so much better than water
2. Egg whites are the best diet food ever. Only 15 calories each and full of protein. I eat 3 scrambled egg whites and 1 slice reduced fat cheese melted on top- under 100 calories! It is soo filling.
3. Adding fresh garlic to salads adds so much flavor and taste that VERY minimal dressing is needed.

I’ve used the Atkin’s diet several times throughout the years. I used ketone strips to test my ketone output throughout the diet. On Atkins I’d hold steady at about 40 ketones, and I’d lose about 2 lbs per day. (I’m over 100 lbs overweight)
Now I’m on the HCG diet and my ketones are between 80-160! AMAZING!!! Yet I’m only losing MAYBE a pound a day, sometimes gaining 1-2 lbs. And while on the VLCD (very low calorie diet) I get really tired when I eat. I feel better just drinking liquids all day (water or herbal tea with Stevia; about 64 oz liquids a day) and staying hungry. I finally ate some Tilapia and Celery last night around 8 PM and was soooo sleepy I crashed. I stayed the same weight after yesterday’s 64 oz liquid intake and total 120 calorie diet. (I had a couple strawberries in the morning).
I feel worse (and hungrier) when I eat a full 500 calories!

1. Does the ketone level matter?
2. Why is food making me so tired?!
3. Should I do a higher calorie/fat diet for a day or two again??

I recently lost 9 pounds eating nothing but warm salads, cereal and fruit. I’m trying to enjoy life and maintain my weight (maybe drop a pound of so every week, but I’m not the that bothered) but what I’m eating now just seems bad compared to what I used to. I’m 5.3 and 137.

Here’s my food diary for the past 3 days.

DAY ONE-
Special K cereal.
Tea with semi skimmed milk and sweeteners.
Apple.
Breakaway 99 calories chocolate bar.
Cheese salad with chicken and dressing.
Two tangerines.
Chinese takeout – chow mein and rice.

DAY TWO.
Special K.
Tea (As before)
Two tangerines.
Breakaway bar.
Cheese and sundried tomato sandwich on malted bread.
Apple.
Fizzy water.
Small portion of re-heated chinese from day before.
Easter biscuit and tea.

TODAY-
Low GI Toast.
Tea.
Two little chocolate biscuits.
Apple.
Roast chicken with potato and veggies.
Cadbury’s Creme Egg.
and later on I’m going to have a light supper of crackers and cheese.

I go to the gym once and week and do a spinning class once a week.

How am I doing?
I’ve eaten a big cooked dinner, I don’t want a large meal full of nutrients later.

I wouldn’t call it HORRIBLE. I’m hardly downing milkshakes and frying everything that goes in my mouth.

I also drink 5 large glasses of water a day.

Only 4 weeks til I go to Cancun and I am stressing big time. I have cut my calories down big time. This is more difficult than getting off drugs!! I had no idea how much I enjoyed food. I have been eating fruit in the morning and salad and chicken. No bread until today and it was wheat.
Anyone know how to melt away pounds fast? Like there supposed to be this ancient Chinese tea….
there is also something called the sacred heart diet. Has anyone heard of it and if so does it work?

I agreed with my dad that I’d have chinese with him tonight, as I don’t want to be a spoilsport (plus, chinese once in a while= yummy).

However, as I’m on a diet, I was wondering wish dish has the lowest calories? I have a 600 calorie maximum for my tea tonight (I’m on slimfast) so any ideas? I will probably eat half today, and put the rest in the fridge, as the portions are quite large.
*which dish, not wish dish lol

Would I possibly get the same or close to the same results with drinking green tea? Along with diet and exercise of course. But is there something special in the other teas or could the same be done with the green tea?

I was researching the types of slimming teas. Oolong teas and the others have no calories, no sodium, no carbs, no protien – same goes for the green tea.

I heard it makes you lose weight and makes you taller?

I’m vegan and I’m starting to eat 3 times a day, as of today. I usually eat alot, however I am not fat. But I really would love to lose some extra inches and tighten some things up a bit.. I walk on the tredmill 20 minutes a day and I drip of sweat and get sore and exhausted so that’s all I do really. Do you think this plus yoga and healthy foods will make me lose some weight fast?

I also have Herbal Slimming Tea, Ultra Slim Tea, and Thermo Slim Tea. Not sure those do much other than make me go to the bathroom alot though.

And usually when I get off the tredmill it says I burned 99 calories. Is that good?
