Regarding Weight Loss

What is the most annoying question regarding weight loss?

Annoying Questions About Weight Loss:1.     Medical Emergency Questions.  Holy shit, if you’re bleeding, get on the telephone and call medical emergency straight away!2.     Medically complicated persons asking exercise questions.  If you’re diabetic and want to become the one legged person training for the long jump with a personal and family history of heart disease and are all pharma’ed up with meds that affect your heart rate, you need to consult with your medical team and hire a professional to help you and CHANGE your training goals!  Asking for free advice on the internet is not for you! 3.     Minors/Children asking weight loss questions.  Bad bad bad.4.     People that weigh nothing and want to lose weight (clearly an eating disorder question and OUT OF SCOPE for an internet forum.  See a doctor!).  This is a tough one because some of these askers need help, but some of these askers are literally seeking eating disorders.5.     Super personal unique questions regarding weight loss where the person lists all their intake data.  “I’m 5’6 and weigh 100 pounds and ….”  That’s a session.  If you have questions like this then we are on the clock.6.     Robot food questions or testimonials which is bad enough, but where the end goal is to build their downline. Fad diet mania and all of the canned leading questions to suck everyone in from the person selling the fad diet crap. Question are also usually robot questions:  “Are you a personal trainer?” My inbox is full of this garbage.  They are basically asking “Can I have your client’s contact information?”  Haha, seriously?  Super duper NO to you.  I’ve written on robot food here: 5 Reasons Fad Diets Don’t Work7.     Holiday weight loss expert answers that are instant experts and want your time, i.e. “I’d like to share with you that I’ve been eating this new Tree Bark & Mud Square for all of my meals and have lost 800 pounds, and kept it off for 2 hours.  I’d love to show you all the information.”  My answer:  “No no no, no no, no no.”8.     So called “helping” others.  My needs to lose weight.  I’m sure the person asking is just perfect.  :)------Let me know if I can help.

Questions Regarding Weight Loss?

I am a nineteen year old male. I am 6'3'' and decided to go check the scale. I am 325Lbs and it's time to change.

I have already established that I need to change my diet and exercising needs. In regards to exercising, my main problem is my extremely low stamina, literally I can run for 30 seconds before being forced to stop. I am able to walk for fairly long periods though and was wondering how to build up my stamina.
I also started doing some situps every day (60 a day I can do) but I can't do pushups at all.

I am also a vegitarian, though I eat very little fruit/veggies. I'm more of a grainitarian? I get tons of carbs, I eat too much pizza and pasta. I really have no problem eating fruits/veggies and I already ditched soda. Do I really need meat products?

So my questions are :
How can I build up my extremely low stamina?
Is meat needed, if not what can I substitute?

Thanks a bunch.

My BMR and RMR are 1608 and 1592. Why and I not losing weight at about 1000 Cals/day?

At about 1000 calories a day, at some point your body may go into starvation mode. It will try to hold on to everything it has. You may try bumping up to about 1200 calories per day and add a little walking or exercise of some sort.

If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

Metformin, PCOS and weight loss?

Met won't help everyone lose weight, particularly if the dosage is off. When I was on 1000mg/day, I lost about ten pounds, but had to really fight to keep it off. Once I got onto a 1500mg plan, I wouldn't say I lost a bunch of pounds, but I began to feel my body changing. However, even with a good dosage, it simply may not make everyone lose weight. With PCOS, a very slow metabolism is typically hand-in-hand, so perhaps even more important than medication is having a healthy lifestyle. The apple weight in the mid-section is so bad - even though PCOS causes it, there is an interactive exchange where that apple weight makes the symptoms of PCOS worse.

If you're looking to lose some weight, I recommend getting a journal and monitoring your eating for a week or two. Try to keep a balance in your food groups and keep sugars to a minimum - they're our kryptonite. Also, realize that you need serious and regular exercise to bump that metabolism up. I struggled (and still do!) to lose weight for six years, but when I joined a gym and started exercising 1.5 hours day/four days a week, I saw drastic changes in my body. Pounds weren't shedding, but the fat was - in two weeks, I lost a full inch-and-a-half out of my stomach!

Good luck.
