May be: It depends on how much you eat. To lose weight you need to achieve negative caloric balance, i.e., burn more calories than you take in. Reduce your intake, and exercise more(easier said than done).

Question 2

good diet for weight loss and more energy?

Accepted Answer

The best exercises: and related equipment are the ones we are most likely t use.  My personal choice is a treadmill because you can adjust the speed, listen to ipod, etc.easily while exercising.  Peace and good health.  Power walking is a good alternative.  Less carbs and more protein.  See doc first.

Both diets r healthy: The Mediterranean diet and the DASH diet are both healthy and may aid in weight loss. Both diets are recommended in the US Dietary Guidelines. You can find the specifics of the diets quite easily on-line. Please find the Mediterranean diet "food pyramid" which should be very helpful for you. For sure, low intakes of red meat, processed meat, refined carbohydrates and sweets are encouraged.

Question 7

is cabbage soup diet good for quick weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Good news ; bad news: Good news is that cabbage soup is good for you. Bad news, its not good for wt loss that is long term.Only types of wt loss that will be long term are those types that don't burn muscle.Quick usually means reduced calories.A reduced calorie prog that doesn't burn muscle has to equal a food that's nutrient dense.Cabbage is good but not that good.Meal replac shakes are hi in nutrients and lo in cal's.

Question 8

what's a good weight loss diet?

Accepted Answer

Track calories: The best way to stay focused and on track is to count and record your daily caloric intake. There are many phone apps and computer programs that will help you do this (ex, choosemyplate.Gov).  You should find out the healthy caloric intake for your current and desired bmi and then make an effort to use your calories wisely (mostly fruits and vegetables, reduce fats, sugars, junk).

Question 9

is there a good diet for rapid weight loss?

Accepted Answer

None, really: Not even the most recently released med for weight loss is a "magic bullet". The real secret to weight loss is healthful meals (lean protein, goods fats, low glycemic index carbs, colorful fruits & veggies, whole grains), portion control (use salad/dessert plate instead of dinner plate; no refills), & exercise to burn off calories. Support groups like weight watchers can help motivation.

Question 10

can you recommend a good steady weight loss diet?

Accepted Answer

The "best" diet: Is not a diet, it's learning how to eat properly and exercise daily for the rest of your life. If you burn off 3500 calories that you don't eat, you'll lose a pound. The name on the diet doesn't matter. Eat healthy and exercise. Weight watchers and similar programs can provide good support. Stay away from fads and supplements. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.
