13-Year Old 2-week weight loss

Hi, I am 13 yearso ld and school is starting soon. I am slightly overweight, but I am also wide framed so it looks like a lot. I would like to know a good weight loss program that I can do at home in my bedroom, since I am not the type of guy that would run so my parents would be weird and I do not want my parents to know I am trying to lose weight. I have dumbells and do not mind using them as I am pretty strong. I would like to lose as much weight as I can in the next two weeks without making it obvious I am trying to, thanks!

I read from many places and a great method i do think so myself is since i am addicted to computer that everytime i am doing nothing or have the chance break out to the floor and do some pushups, or lunges, or crunches, if this is a good idea please say so and give some more!

Forgot some contact info, add me on MSN messenger or email me

MSN: squigoth.sythe@live.com
email: how.come.im.always.luigi@gmail.com

hey im sorry to tell you, but you cant lose weight by sitting in your room doing nothing! push-ups, crunches, and barbells are not to help you lose weight!..theyre to help you get toned and fit! you do not need diet pills, or a specific weight loss prgram to lose weight...
you just need to eat healthy! 5 small "HEALTHY" meals a day is what you need to lose weight! and no whit carbs such as...potatoes, french fries, white rice, white bread etc.
try sweet potatoes, sweet potatoe fries, whole grain rice, wheat bread. etc. if you want to do the barbells and cruches and stuff too, yeah go ahead thats a great way to stay fit especially if your not doing anything. but at the same time eat stuff thats healthy!! and if you dont like running, try swimming! did you know that swimming is actually the best exercise because it works all of your muscles, its great for your heart, and you dont have to worry about spraining an ankle! also you need to drink 8 glasses of water a day...its amazing for your skin and keeps your body hydrated and healthy!!

and why wouldnt you want your parentsknowing that your trying to be healthier? they would be very proud of you for putting in the effort to do better for your body and your self!!

i know i may only be 15. but i know alot about this stuff because my parents are health freaks and both doctors!

i hope you use my information to good use!

good luck

Acupuncture is an ancient system of medicine originating thousands of years ago in China. The philosophy behind acupuncture aims at maintaining balance and well being in the body and promoting life and longevity. Acupuncture is used to treat a wide variety of diseases and disorders such as pain, digestive issues, fertility or hormonal issues, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and asthma. It is truly an incredible and effective form of medicine. But, how does it apply to weight loss? Not only does it apply to weight loss, acupuncture will change your health forever!

Improve digestion, lose weight

Healthy digestion is one of the cornerstones of good health. Optimum digestion allows our bodies to absorb vitamins and nutrients from foods and breakdown and rid toxins before they can cause irreparable damage. Unfortunately, after years of deplorable eating habits, poor nutrient absorption and toxin build up many of us facing weight loss challenges have very poor digestion. Acupuncture improves digestion quickly. These wonderful results are long lasting. If you are suffering from constipation, diarrhea, bloating after eating, heartburn, nausea after meals or stomach aches after meals your digestion may be compromised. This in turn makes it very challenging to lose weight. Adding acupuncture to your weight loss plan will ease symptoms and get you on the road to losing weight.

Hormones - a balancing act!

For many women, hormonal balance is a major life issue. Fatigue, anxiety, emotional swings, sleeping disorders and difficulty losing weight are indications of hormonal imbalance. Uninterrupted communication among the thyroid, adrenal glands, digestive system, reproductive system, pituitary gland and liver is essential for optimal health and of course, weight loss. This balance is complicated and quite delicate. Even the smallest of troubles can upset this balance. Stress, poor diet, excessive alcohol or use of medications, recent pregnancy, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and menopause are some typical culprits which upset this balance. Acupuncture is extremely effective in restoring a sense of balance when hormonal issues arise. Acupuncture is also effective in increasing metabolism. The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a primary form of treatment for hormonal issues. This all natural holistic approach to health and weight loss is ideal for those suffering from an imbalance in the endocrine system. Rev up your metabolism- try acupuncture!

Improve health and lose weight- both with acupuncture

The best weight loss plan will contain heart healthy menus, fantastic support and coaching, superior physician grade herbs and shakes. But, if you are really interested in catapulting your health and weight loss into the success zone, add acupuncture! This incredible system of medicine has been building health and longevity for several thousand years!

What to Eat to Lose Weight

dr bernstein weight loss

A high level of triglyceride reading means that you have too much "bad" fats in your body. High triglyceride levels are bad for the heart and dietitians have long recommended certain foods to lower triglycerides and promote better health and stronger hearts.

Triglycerides 101

Triglyceride is body fat which when combined with cholesterol forms plasma lipids in the body. High levels of triglyceride in the body equates to high levels of bad cholesterol and low levels of good cholesterol.

Considered normal triglyceride level is less than 150 mg/dL; borderline to high level is from 150 to 199 mg/dL; high level is from 200 to 499 mg/dL; and very high level is 500 mg/dL or higher.

Factors that may affect the amount of triglyceride in the body

Factors that affect the presence of high triglycerides in the body include age, medications, illness, heredity and excessive intake of fatty foods. You may not be able to fully control the first four factors but you can control excessive intake of fatty foods through diets that lower triglycerides.

The age factor

Triglycerides in your body increase as you age. Triglyceride levels would be different for a person when he is in his teens, middle age and old age.

The disease factor

Certain illnesses that can increase the level of triglycerides are diabetes, kidney and liver diseases. Hyperthyroidism can also affect the amount of triglycerides in the body.

Medication factor

Medicines such as steroids and birth control pills can increase the amount of triglyceride in the body. Diuretics or water pills can also induce high triglyceride level in the body.

Genes and heredity factor

If high triglyceride levels run in the family, family members will tend to inherit it.

Food that you eat

Fatty foods remain a major contributor in increasing the level of triglycerides in your body. A nutritious diet that is low in fat is a factor that you can fully control to lower your triglyceride levels.

Diet to lower triglycerides

* Maintain ideal weight by controlling calorie intake.

You should be aware of your ideal BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) which uses your height and weight to indicate if your weight falls within a healthy range. Monitor the amount and type of your food intake so that you maintain a healthy BMI and weight.

* Start eating low-fat foods and avoid high-fat foods.

Examples of low-fat foods are dried beans, peas and lentils; whole grain breads, cereals and pasta; egg whites, without the egg yolk; skim and non-fat milk; cheese such as parmesan and ricotta; low-fat cottage cheese and yogurt. There are also low-fat meats like fish, poultry meat (with skin removed), and lean meats from sirloin and flank.

* Reduce saturated fats in the foods you eat.

Avoid taking too much of saturated products present in oils like coconut oil, and palm and palm kernel oil; margarines and products made from these oils; coffee creamers; shortening, lards and butter. You should also refrain from eating fried pork skins and chitterling from pig intestines; red meats with fat; and poultry with fat and skin.

* Refrain from eating sugars and sugar in different forms.

Sugar is transformed into triglyceride when detected by the liver. The more sugar found in the blood stream, the more triglyceride is formed. Refrain from eating foods packed with sugar such as jam, jelly, soft drinks, fruit drinks, cookies, cakes and candies.

* Limit intake of alcohol which increases the level of triglycerides in the blood.

Alcohol such as beer, wines and hard liquor can increase the level of triglycerides in the blood directly. Calories from alcohol can also trigger the formation of triglycerides in the body.

Flor Serquina is a successful Webmaster and publisher of The-Good-Diet.com. She provides more information on topics such as diet to lower triglycerides, diet food program and best diet product that you can research on her website even while lounging in your living room.

Could anyone with health insurance experience explain to me what this means? Please only serious answers.?

Medical and surgical services, initial and repeat, intended for the treatment or control of obesity. However, treatment of clinically severe obesity, as defined by the body mass index (BMI) classifications of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) guideline is covered only at approved centers f the services are demonstrated, through existing peer-reviewed, evidence-based, scientific literature and scientifically based guidelines, to be safe and effective for treatment of the condition. Clinically severe obesity is defined by the NHLBI as a BMI of 40 or greater without comorbidities, or 35–39 with comorbidities. The following are specifically excluded: medical and surgical services to alter appearances or physical changes that are the result of any surgery performed for the management of obesity or clinically severe (morbid) obesity; and weight loss programs or treatments, whether prescribed or recommended by a physician or under medical supervision

pretty much means they will cover gastric bypass surgery if you meet the guideline ...pretty much by body mass....but it also means they are not going to cover surgery to remove excess skin etc.....this is another one of those cases where somebody is 30 lbs overweight and they have abused the system so it makes it extremely hard for people who need this surgery have to jump thru hoops to get it

Herbalife Quickstart Weight Loss Program?

Has anyone used the quickstart weight loss program affiliated with Herbalife? I found a couple in Vancouver that sell the program. For $160 I get a months worth of shakes and supplements and I'm guranteed to lose 5-10 pounds. Does this work?

no it does not, you might lose a little weight, but right away you gain it back. it is a total waste of money. Just concentrate on a healthy eating plan, see a nutritionist or a dietitian, and get outdoor exercise like fast walking.

OVERVIEW:

There are 2.1 billion obese people in the world. We in India have 97 million people with obesity, out of which 25 million (6% of our total population) are morbidly obese. Urbanisation has been implicated as the strongest risk factor for obesity in India.

The incidence of obesity in children is also on the rise as shown by school surveys in Indian cities, where nearly 30% of adolescents from India's higher socioeconomic groups are overweight.

Technology and globalization has gifted a new kind of disease to mankind i.e. obesity and diabetes.This new disease is called "DIABESITY". This is a great challenge to all agencies including the government, NGO's, & public at large.

OBESITY:

According to the National Institute of health(NIH) an increase of 20% or more of your ideal body weight is the point at which excess weight becomes a health risk. Obesity can be calculated by a parameter called BMI (body mass index). This is calculated by weight(kg) /height(m2).

Classification of Obesity:

BMI(Kg/m2) NIH IFSO

19-24.9 Normal Normal

25-29.9 Overweight Overweight

30-34.9 Class 1 Obese Moderate Obese

35-39.9 Class 2 Obese Severe Obese

>40 Class 3 Obese Morbid Obese

>50 Class 4 Obese Super Obese

Obesity does not come alone. It is just not a matter of looking ugly or asymmetrical, infact it is associated with number of life threatening co-morbid conditions.

Some of the common co-morbid conditions associated with obesity are:

• Diabetes type 2.

• Hypertension and heart disease.

• Osteoarthritis of weight bearing joints.

• Sleep apnea and respiratory problems.

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease and heart burns.

• Depression.

• Infertility.

• Fatty liver and hepatic lipidosis.

• Skin breakdown.

• Swollen legs and skin ulcers.

• Urinary stress syndrome.

• Menstrual irregularities.

• Lower extremity venous stasis.

• Dyslipidemia.

• Pulmonary embolus

• Cancer.

MEDICAL TREATMENT:

Most nonsurgical weight loss programs are based on combination of diet, behaviour modification and regular exercise. Unfortunately, medical treatment has proven to be effective for only a small percentage of individuals. It is estimated that less than 5%, of individuals who participate in nonsurgical weight loss program will lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss for a long period of time. According to NIH most people in these programs regain their weight within one year called the

"yo-yo effect".

WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY):

Weight loss surgery (Bariatric surgery) has provided the longest period of sustained weight loss in patients for whom all other therapies have failed. Bariatric surgery is a major surgery and should be viewed first and foremost as a method for alleviating a debilitating disease. A meta-analysis of more than 22,000 patients who underwent bariatric surgical procedure showed a complete resolution or improvement of their co-morbid conditions along with weight loss.The indications for bariatric surgery are:

BMI >32.5 with at least two co-morbid conditions

BMI > 37.5 with or without co-morbid conditions.

There are two basic approaches to bariatric surgery according to the mechanism of action.

Restrictive Procedures: It works on the principle of restricting the diet intake of the patient. The procedures are:

Gastric Banding

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Malabsorptive Procedures: Malabsorptive procedures alter digestion, thus causing the food to be poorly digested and incompletely absorbed so that it is eliminated in stool. In addition to restriction, these techniques involve a bypass of the small intestine, limiting the absorption of calories. The commonly done malabsorptive procedure is Roux en Y Gastric Bypass.

All the above mentioned procedures are being done routinely by LAPAROSCOPY (key hole surgery). The advantage of laparoscopy is:

• Faster recovery with reduced post-op pain

• Minimal blood loss,

• Short hospital stay( 3-4 days)

• Better cosmetic results

• Early return to work.( within 7-10 days)

PROCEDURES:

LAGB (Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding): Purely restrictive procedure. In this a silicone band is placed around the uppermost part of the stomach. This band is adjustable by an access port kept under the skin. The band divides the stomach into two portions: one small and one large. The small pouch gives early satiety hence patient eats very small amount of food, gets satisfied with it, and ultimately gains its goal of dieting voluntarily. This is a reversible procedure but it requires follow up in OPD for band adjustment.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Essentially a restrictive procedure. It involves cutting and stapling 75% of the stomach and leaving in place 25%(100ml) of gastric tube along the lesser curvature of the stomach. It also decreases appetite as with the removal of fundus of stomach,the appetite stimulating Ghrelin hormone is also removed. This is an irreversible procedure but it does not require frequent followup in the OPD.

Laparoscopic Gastric By-Pass: This is a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive procedure. In this procedure a small stomach pouch (30cc) is created by stapling and then a large length of small intestine is bypassed to join with the stomach pouch. It therefore restricts the intake of food and also produces higher levels of malabsorption. Compared to the other two procedures long term weight loss is more in this procedure. It is a major surgery and therefore has more complication rate along with certain nutritional deficiencies eg. Iron deficiency, Vitamin B12 deficiency and Calcium deficiency.

Metabolic Surgery: Today bariatric surgery is also known as metabolic surgery as it treats "DIABESITY".i.e. diabetes and obesity. Recent evidence suggests that a small amount of weight loss reduces the effects of Type 2 diabetes, in fact many patients have completely eliminated their blood sugar problems after losing a significant amount of body weight.

LIFE AFTER SURGERY:

Diet: Some of the generally accepted post surgical guidelines are:

• Chew thoroughly

• Not to drink fluids while eating.

• Omit desserts.

• Omit carbonated drinks.

• Avoid alcohol.

• Limit snacking between meals.

Going back to work: Most patients return to full presurgery levels of activity within two weeks.

In conclusion surgery combined with behavioural modification, is currently the only proven method of achieving long-term weight loss for the obese.

Weight Loss Diet Pills that help with Fat Loss

most effective weight loss supplement

It is human nature that we want things to be faster, easier and less stressful - and we are often fully prepared to pay extra in order to ensure that this is the case. Whatever we have today, we want it to be better tomorrow, and it usually is. Much of human industry is devoted to ensuring that convenience is served. Even the Internet, as dominant as it has become in most of our lives, was born out of the human love of convenience, the desire for waiting time to be cut in half, and unnecessary work to be reduced. It is no surprise that this need has found its way into our weight loss habits.

There is a fairly commonly-used phrase often used when someone is antagonised by the idea of waiting for something to happen - for their life to improve in some way. People will tell them "Be patient - there is no such thing as a magic pill that will make it happen quicker". The person who invents that pill will become a millionaire overnight. And with dieting being the stressful process it sometimes is, there is no surprise in the fact that the diet pill got invented pretty quickly.

From the early forms of diet pill, which were to all intents and purposes amphetamines, there have been numerous changes to the idea, with the latest and most effective being ones which prevent the body from absorbing fat. These do however have side effects - as most medication must - and if you are waiting for the pill that makes you slim without affecting you negatively in some way, then be prepared for a long wait - one with no pill to shorten waiting time.

Are you tired of using pills for weight loss or Planning to do some? Do not waste your time and learn about Super Fast Fat Burning Foods and start eating them. More Weightloss ideas and get more Weight Loss Plans.
