as some of you know from my previous questions, I am writing a research paper….
What are some of the worst, grossest horrible fad diets that youve ever been on or heard of?
Americans are becoming fatter by the day it seems. Weight loss surgeries have become very popular. Are fad diets the cause because we do the yo-yo effect with weight loss & gain? Why has obesity become America’s biggest problem? Is it from over-eating? Is it from the hormones in our food to mass produce enough to feed people? A combination? Something else?
I have a really,really important audition for a ballet lined up in a week and a half. The casting director (who happens to be an acquaintance of mine) says I have a great chance at getting the part if I drop about 5-10 pounds by then. I know fad diets aren’t really the best idea, but even if I exercise like crazy and cut my calories more than I already have I still won’t lose that much weight on time. I thought about going on a seafood diet, but eating too much seafood will make me sick. Anyone have any ideas? Did I emphasis just how incredibly important this job is to my ballet career???

Alright … Another weight loss question lol
I’m 5′o exactly and I weigh about 16o
I was at the doctor the other day and we were talking about my weight ..
For my height and age i’m supposed to weigh about 9o – 115 pounds ,
but my doctor doesn’t want me to go below 13o lbs because of health reasons …
I mean, no offense i’m a 42 DD (and it’s not because i’m overweight) …
im not exactly gonna go down to 11o and look normal, lol
But main thing is I gained about 2o pounds in one year, mostly because of a medicine that i’m taking (it can cause weight gain my doctor said)
Pretty much all my fat is in my stomach and a little bit on my legs ..
I’m looking to lose about 2o pounds, because overall I like my body type and i’m comfortable with
the way I look … I just want to lose the weight for health reasons (and ok … the small stomach idea isnt too bad lol)
but I understand i’m not gonna be one of those girls with super tiny legs and a 24 inch waist (nor would i want to be)
But i was thinking about starting my diet off with a colon cleanse (for one week – no longer, im too young)
and then cutting calories down by cutting out prossesed foods …
pretty much just eating fruits, veggies, salads, lean meat (like chicken)
lots of water … no sodas or sugary drinks
+ maybe 2o – 3o minuets of exercise everyday + strength training 3x week
( lol basic i know )
im pretty determined .. and i have strong will power, so this is pretty do-able for me
main question is … do you think that this is a healthy way to lose the weight ?
is there anything else i can do (minus fad diets or pills – not intrested in ruining my body) to help ?
and do you think i can drop the 2o in about 6 – 8 weeks ?
I am supposed to find 2 fad diets (I already did the atkins diet)and describe it and list a few short term and long term effects….I have looked and looked but can’t easily find one with effects…please help

ok, i’m tired of doing fad diets. I have lost so much muscle and very little fat as a result. So i’ve decided to spend my summer working out and getting in shape. i’m currently 154 pounds and 5′3′ i do have a quite a bit of muscle. i want to weigh 124 which means i need to lose about 30 pounds. i want to get in shape before school starts. which is in 2.5 months.
i’ve decided to eat 6 small meals.
No soda
candy and sweets at a minimum.
avoid junk food as much as possible
eat mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meats
eat healthier carbs (ie brown rice instead of white.)
I also plan on working out for an hour and a half each day. for 6 days a week.
I will do tae bo 4 days. jog the 5th day and lift weights the 6th day.
is it possible to lose 30 pounds by September or at least 20 pounds?
i will also drink A LOT of water.
is it possible? and if not, what else can i do?
