Im 24 5f6 and 14 stone (I put on about 4 stone when I was pregnant and havnt been able to lose it) I am quite good at eating lots of fresh fruit and veg but I just need a diet meal plan or a rough guide of what I should/shouldnt be eating to lose weight. I want to lose about 5lbs a week. I have an exercise bike at home and go swimming once a week but I cant go to the gym alot as I have no one to look after little one.
If anyone can give me a little help on what to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner to lose weight, id appreciate your help

5 pounds per week is an awful lot to lose. It can be done, but is very unhealthy. It would require a starvation diet and exercise – two things that don’t go well together. A healthier goal is 1-2 pounds per week. Not what you wanted to hear, I know, but it is healthier. Think of it this way, the “average” person burns about 14,000 calories per week. That’s about 4 pounds worth of calories. So to lose 5 pounds per week, you would have to eat nothing and burn about 2500 calories per day – or about 500 calories more than the average person per day. You would simply be setting yourself up for discouragement, frustration, and possibly a trip to the hospital.
Set your daily caloric goal for 1300-1500 calories per day. This gives your body the energy it needs to function and can still translate into 1-2 pounds per week. Since you are already eating heavy on the fruits and veggies, I’d just recommend watching out for refined sugars and grains. Shoot for 5-6 meals at about 250 calories each.
As for exercise, stretch for 5 minutes or so, making sure you get all the muscle groups. Then do some sit-ups, pushups, knee bends, and the like. Then hop on that exercise bike for 30 minutes or more. Make sure you get your heart pumping. The more you ride, the more calories you will burn – and the longer afterwards you will burn them. Also, walking is good. On nice days, put the kid in a stroller and go for a nice long walk. Normally, walking burns about 100 calories per mile, but you can add a few calories to the the amount burned if you are pushing something. Plus, it’ll get the child outside for some fresh air as well.
And have a positive attitude. That, as much as anything else, can help you reach your goal. Good luck.
eDiets Meal Delivery Plan – Lose Weight & Look Great Diet
Hi, i am 13 years old and a vegetarian of about 3 years. I have been trying to lose weight for some time now, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know any workout and diet plans for a vegetarian? thank much! <3
Any workout can work with a vegetarian or vegan diet, you just have to know what to eat and the results you want.You just have to get some basic knowledge of what food supplies what.
Also, just cutting out meat won’t cause you to lose weight. You’re still going to a) watch what you eat and b) exercise. I would definitely keep a journal of what I eat, the amount of calories it contains and set a daily limit. You’d be surprised how many preservatives and empty carbs make their way into alleged healthful food.

Given the right conditions, the acai berry diet seed could be planted and grown. To understand this better though, acai grows in the forests of the Amazon where there is enough water, dampness and a generally tropical climate. When acai is grown by independent farmers, acai production will be multiplied that could benefit more consumers and the prices could go down as a result of the competition.
Prior to its popularity, acai was this berry that could be afforded by the natives along the Amazon. When it captured the worlds’ imagination, the humble berry gained an overnight popularity that demands shoot up spiking prices.
In places where it is grown, acai berry or acai pits are mostly thrown. What are consumed are the pulp and the skin. This is where the nutrition comes. What they do to the seed is spit it out or collect them as extenders for hog feed.
Acai berry is a small fruit that contains 80% seeds. Conversely the fruit and the pulp is only 20% in volume but 90% of the nutrients of acai comes from the skin and the pulp. The other nutrients that comprise the remaining 10% do not necessarily all come from the seed. The least that could be said of the acai berry seed is that it contains little but that is not yet conclusive. And so buyers are to be cautioned when purchasing acai health supplements and drinks.
Customers who buy acai berry preparation that are made mainly or even in part from the seed (that is being passed off as acai berry health supplement) will be in for frustration. Everything good that we hear about the berry concern only the pulp and the skin, it was never about the seed.
Acai berry like any other product in the marketplace is consumer-driven and is subject to market forces. When the demand exceeds the production, short cuts and augmentation to the product is sometimes taken. When buying acai preparations then, ask only for the preparations where you get most of the benefits for the buck that is shelled out.
Acai seeds are good only to the extent that they are cultivated and grown to produce acai berries. Other than that the seeds are mostly nothing.
Whatever benefit like colon cleansing, anti-aging, & losing weight that could be derived from it may not justify the price but is made and sold riding alone on the popularity of the berries.
Aside from making acai berry diet seeds as food extenders for their animals, the natives along the Amazon has another great use for the acai seed. They turn them into beads and trinkets, clearly suggesting that the original consumers of acai berry find that the seeds are never good as food.

The diet pill industry started years ago. About 30 years ago in fact, the diet pill industry was largely based on amphetamines. But at some point, doctors and dieters discovered some of the less appealing attributes of these diet pills. Users were becoming addicted. After that came main ingredient such as fen phen and ephedra, both of which were banned from the market due to severe side effects including death.
Since the more recent ban of ephedra, the diet market has struggled to find a powerful substitute with less risk. Most formerly ephedra based supplements have failed miserably, relying only on information that would tell them which ingredients are most popular right now.
However, there are a few companies who take the time to do more extensive research not only on what will work and provide powerful results, but which ingredients are safe for consumer health. One of these products is Lipocut Hardcore. Lipocut Hardcore uses some of the more popular ingredients such as green tea. But it uses a number of more expensive and therefore less common ingredients that actually provide greater results.
So what are these higher quality ingredients you may ask. Here are a few:
Cissus Quadrangularis: Cissus quadrangularis has been compared to the effects of a placebo in increasing lipid metabolism and reducing oxidative stress. It works as an antioxidant, significant reducing plasma TBARS and carbonyls, thereby bringing about significant weight loss and fat loss.
DMAE Bitartrate: DMAE works in the body to produce choline, which is extremely important in metabolizing fats and thereby helping your body to burn extra calories and lose weight.
Evodiamines: Evodiamines have been compared in effect to cayenne pepper, except without the burning taste in the mouth. In short, it creates a thermogenic effect, burning fat and creating energy at the same time.
Bioperine: a patented weight loss ingredient, Bioperine is extracted from the black pepper or long pepper. It creates a thermogenic effect in the body, effectively raising the rate of fat burning.
