    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    You are being clear dear! :D I just meant vague on saying "you'll loose weight". Because weight can mean fat or muscle. Or even water or bone mass! You're right she will loose fat in the beginning, and it can happen quite fast and you're right it will slow down due to metabolic adaptation...

    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    You are right, but you're being vague. You will loose mostly muscle and bone mass on 600 calories a day, fat will be the last thing you'll loose. And there are several health risks. Not only that, keeping that up for a prolonged amount of time will cause you to store more fat when you return...

    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    Given this example, she's already lost weight and her metabolism has adapted (or will soon enough) in order to stop it because it's dangerous! And yes, I mean very low calorie diets. Of course you need to lower your caloric in-take to loose weight, but I don't agree with people willy-nilly...

    vlcd no weight loss in second week!

    It's three days, you won't be loosing anything in a short period of time, rather things happen over a longer period of time. Such as getting fat, it doesn't happen over night does it! You cannot expect it to come off any quicker. You have to listen to these stories, because they are true. Low...

    how many calories a day do you have on a vlcd?

    I seriously recommend you re-think about your calorie intake. The reason your weight will stall is because your body is trying to ensure you will stay ALIVE. It will NOT burn any fat when it's not getting enough food. Instead, muscle will be used way before fat is even touched on for energy. In...

    how many calories a day do you have on a vlcd?

    Honestly VLCD's are dangerous and aren't for anyone who's new to dieting and nutrition etc. Not only that, they will give you mood swings and make you (99% of the time) really grumpy, moany and snappy. You can get just as much progress on lowering carb intake and eating more protein and...

    have i done this right?! plz help! x

    At 733 (possibly 732 I don't think Diet Pepsi even has one calorie) you're dangerously under eating. Your body is not going to use fat as fuel with that little amount of food. I highly suggest you up your calories to at least 1800 - 2000 calories a day, depending on your exercise levels...

    Can't stop eating - extremely fed up!!

    The reason you are feeling hungry is because you are not eating enough. Try to eat around 4-5 times daily, and you need to eat protein in each meal. From the above, I can see you are eating little to no protein (only protein source you've mentioned is the egg in the morning) protein will keep...

    help needed!

    Note down why you want to loose the weight. And how much you want to loose, and keep this somewhere you'll see it daily. For example in the kitchen. Also take a picture of yourself now and keep it again somewhere you can see it daily. Never ever doubt yourself or your plan, you can do it. Try...

    Just bought a kettle bell

    Kettle bells are beneficial for both strength and fat burning, reason being is they target your stabilising muscles more than dumbells do, although I don't believe they're a necessity and even in that I wouldn't recommend them over traditional dumbells for resistance training. An optional...

    Newbie here - Introduce Myself

    Hey Ann and welcome As the others have stated, you cannot target fat burn. The only thing you can do is lower your body fat percentage (the percentage of your body weight which is stored fat). If I remember correctly, on woman the main fat storage areas are the bum, belly and thighs, on...

    Anyone CC without exercising?

    Just to say, you don't have to exercise to loose weight, but it can kick start and help you get the fat burnt quicker! As fat is stored energy, you need to be using that energy. Eating properly and optional exercise is all you need to do.

    Hey Are you up for making your own diet? That way you don't have to worry about points and whatever else those diets entail. And really, every living person is on a diet, diet doesn't mean weight loss, diet means what you eat. :p I often hear people say "I'm finished my diet" and you...

    Going it alone & struggling to even start!

    You don't need to spend money on fancy products to loose weight! They may work, but they cost! There are much cheaper and simpler ways. Here are my tips: 1. Count your calories (Use your stats, height, weight and age, to figure out your daily caloric needs, then you want to subtract 500...

    hello and advice please

    Although you posted your first question last year, I can answer it for you. Why are you only loosing x amount of fat when you do loads and loads of stuff at the gym? Because you are using the wrong muscle fibres. But do remember that you should only really want to loose around 1-3lbs of fat a...
