Question 2

what are the common reliable, good weight loss plans?

Accepted Answer

Eat less & exercise: There is only one reliable plan: eat less and exercise more. It's 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound. Avoid fad diets, instead of a "diet" find a good nutritional plan you can follow the rest of your life. Weight watchers and other such programs are good for support. Avoid internet supplements, tv garbage, and advice from friends who don't know any more than you do.

Question 3

weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Google search: So many plans, you have to search. Apparently, there are apps such as noon, that many people are excited about. The bottom line is that life style changes, Less calories in and more calories out. Good luck.

Question 4

how will finding a weight loss buddy help me in my weight loss plans?

Accepted Answer

Helping one another: Two weight-loss buddies can help one another. One can talk the other out of eating a snack, or into going for a jog. They can give spiritual support to one another. If a person eats fewer calories than he needs to live on each day, his body will use the stored fuel (fat). If a person exercises more than he did before, but does not start eating more calories, then his body will also burn up fat.

Question 5

what are some good weight loss plans that work and make you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

First eat less and E: Eat less energy and exercise more. If you can do both you will lose weight faster. Exercise alone will not work, so you have to cut down on your foods. Eat healthy which means foods that are low in fat and high in proteins. Sources of good proteins are eggs, fish, soy products and  nuts. You should fill half your plate with salads, fruits and grains so that you can cut down on calorie rich foods.

can there be any good weight loss plans for teens?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Weight loss for teens is completely different than adults in a sense that they're not concerned about their health as much as looks/peer pressure.

Also engaging them in sports and community activities (fit to be kids, some board games that are designed for schools) are best along with a low calorie, zone type diet combining protein shake with food.
