Answer 1

I hope you're not an anorexic!

Here is an article i wrote for someone else where the question is basically the same:-

What happens is your body combines a fatty acid & a triglyceride together using Alpha Glycerol Phosphate (Glycerol for short) resulting in it making Adipose Tissue/ Fat cell

So to stop your body producing fat we've got to stop it producing Glycerol.This is found in Insulin.

Your body only produces this to break down a Carbohydrate. It gives it to the muscles as fast as possible but then when you have more carbs eg. pasta/bread/potato = more Insulin = more glycerol.

What Insulin it fails to burn off results in fat accumulation/adipose tissue production by the use of glycerol as explained (hence why Insulin is also known as the Fat producing homone).



Here is the answer you want - At time of writing I've now lost 7.5st - CUT YOUR CARB INTAKE. This results in your body not producing it



With your body no longer able to bind a triglyceride & Fatty acid together - As you aren't producing Insulin (glycerol) anymore it can't create any adipose tissue/Fat. SO WHAT DOES IT DO?



Well It then turns to YOUR CURRENT Fat cells for the carbs - remember it was the Carbs that you didn't burn off so your body stored it as fat by the method above.



Look at these quotes :-



“It is reasonable to assume that persons with relatively high daily energy expenditures would be less likely to gain weight over time compared with those who have low energy expenditures. So far, data to support this hypothesis is not particularly compelling.”

American Heart Association & American College of Sports Medicine 2007



“Fat is mobilised [from fat tissue] when insulin secretion diminishes,”

American Medical Association Council on Foods & Nutrition 2007



“Carbohydrates is driving insulin is driving fat,”

George Cahill Jr, a retired Harvard Professor of Medicine & Expert on Insulin



“the excessive consumption of calories from refined carbs & starches in people’s diets are the cause of obesity.”



American Heart Association & American College of Sports Medicine 2007



I read Gary Taubes' article NYT 'What if its been one big fat lie?' which has led me to read his book and i lost so much weight - not water/muscle but the Adipose Tissue I've wanted rid of for years.



Type Gary Taubes into Google and you should find a video of a lecture he did in the UK - you may find it heavy going but it will change you from your current Kcal dogma.

Answer 2

Hi,



The first thing that you must is that, if your goal is to lose 9 pounds in 2 weeks, it's totally possible. With only modifying your food habits you will easily lose 10 pounds. This is because the first pounds you're going to lose are going to be water weight. That's the positive side but there's also a negative. Since those 10 pounds are going to be easy to lose they're going to be also easy to gain so you should be careful. I would suggest instead of only wanting to lose 10, focus on a bigger goal that will definitely produce better results and for longer time. My advices are the following:



The first thing you must know is that motivation is one of the most important things for weight loss. The reason is because there are going to be tough times coming ahead where you will have to choose to continue dieting or go back to normal. You must remember that losing weight is not just for looking good, it's for being healthy too.



Tips you must consider:



1) It's more important what you eat than how much you eat. Every nutritional site recommends 6-7 small meals a day. Start reducing your meals little by little. Watch out for the carbs, specially in the nights. My advice is try eating healthy during the week and on weekends you can have 1 or 2 cheat foods. This will help you sticking with your diet and don't become desperate. For knowing what to eat this following pages will help you alot:



- http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/cut_carbs/index.php [Check this one first. This will help you knowing how to slowly replace foods with lots of carbs]



- http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/cut_carbs/index.php



- I would strongly suggest you check specially this one out: http://www.menshealth.com/bestfoods/ . It's a page that shows the best food of every food type you can get in a supermarket or grocery. For example: there's a section called breakfast and it shows you different types of breakfast. In here you click cereal and it shows you the best cereal to buy.



Modifying your food habits only for 2 weeks will give you a 60% possibility of reaching your goals. In case you're interested in getting the 100% i will suggest exercise.



The following page contains the most popular cardiovascular exercises and how many calories you'd burn depending on the exercise and on the time you do it. Try at least doing 30 minutes everyday and i'm positive you will lose 10 pounds or easily more.

Answer 3

You shouldn't lose that in 2 weeks!



Sit-ups (say 10-15) twice a day

Sit down wirth your feet against a wall and try and shuffle towards the wall. do that for 2 minis.

Bicylce kicks - lay on your back, lift you legs above your head then support your back with your hands (elbows on the floor) so your legs stay in the air, pretend your riding a bike. do that for about 5mins.



Cut out bread and crisps from your diet (chocolate should be in moderation). You don't sound like you need to lose weight, just tone up and at 15years old its probably puppy fat anyway.
