Is it baby fat — or obesity?
Desani Marshall was never really overweight, but she was always a little big for her age. During a checkup at age 4, her doctor pointed out to her mother that Desani was gaining weight more rapidly than he thought was normal. Six months later, she was still putting on pounds at a rapid pace — a strong predictor of future obesity.
how can i lose body fat fast?
is there anything i can take that is cheap or what can i do to lose body fat fast because im chubby and i want to be slim what kind of exercises can i do or what sport would be good?
Hi
Don’t ‘take’ anything – the only wat to permanently get rid of your ‘chubby’ bits is to eat good nutrition and exercise.
By good nutrition I mean eat 5 -6 small meals a day that include foods like lean meats, chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, fresh vebetables and fruit.
Your exercise can consist of many things – it just depends on what you will like doing. Walking, bike riding, running, weight training (if you have access to a gym), swimming, etc. You have to find an exercise you enjoy so you are more likely to stick to it.
Do both of the above and you will start to lose body fat – I would highly recommend weight training workouts if you have access to a gym because when you work out your muscles you burn loads of calories, not just when you are doing the exercise but you continue to burn calories for up to 48 hours after.
Hope this helps
Five Things We Learned About the Seattle Mariners in Week 1
Let’s be honest. The first week of the Seattle Mariners season has been a massive disappointment. Thus far, the offense has underwhelmed and the pitching has struggled. The defense has been stellar, but it can’t swing a bat or strike a batter out; therefore it can’t solve the current Mariners’ dilemma. As several fans and writers have correctly pointed out, it’s too early to abandon ship. This …

how do i lose fat and avoid losing alot of muscle mass in ramadan?
Ok im a Muslim and Ramadan is near. so the rule is that we dont drink or eat anything between sunrise and sunset. its true that if a person does not eat for long the body goes into starvation mode….so is there a way to avoid me losing my muscle. and is there a way that i lose my fat too during this month. and i thank you for all ur answers.
No hun, people go without eating for hours at a time (sleeping, I believe is technical term) without a problem. Starvation mode kicks in when you don’t eat for several days. It takes a day or so just to deplete your glycogen stores.
You can lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast, eat all you want, but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter & half an avocado a day (for added potassium). Keep the calories high & the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
The first week is just water weight but fat is lost thereafter if you keep your calories high enough. Otherwise the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone). The body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow metabolism to compensate & store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering calories, it will continue lowering the set point, til it can survive off nothing & store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of nutritious food.
Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) & exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
The core of Atkins program is converting the body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). Dietary fat levels need to be at >65% of total calories, if not, the body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).
It takes minimum of 3 days to convert a body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis). People feel sluggish the first week but most feel better than ever thereafter.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) trigger insulin which can store the calories eaten into fat. The more protein the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
Simple carbs are addictive & can be disastrous to health. The best way to break the addiction is NO carbs for 3 days. Make a huge batch of deviled eggs, eat one every time you want “something” – have huge omelets with bacon, sausage, peppers, mushrooms & cheese. Pork chops smothered with peppers, mushrooms & cheese – pork rinds & dip or tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salad – steaks – a huge sugar free cheese cake. Eat so much you won’t feel deprived of anything. By the 4th day, the addiction will be gone & you can start making healthy choices.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger & unbalance other hormones. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean muscle will be gained even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Ground flax seed (2 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle & nuke 2 minutes. Suggested for daily fiber needs.
The first 2 weeks eat several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce & celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers & more vegetables thereafter – add 5 grams per day additional every week (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) til you gain weight, then subtract 10grams. That will be your personal carb level (everyone is different & depends on how active you are.)
Start with meat, fats & salads for 2 weeks and then slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg, wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods.
As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories. Many people gain weight on high carb, do low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb & gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.
Dr.Atkins was a cardiologist, low carb was a health plan easier sold as a “diet” Read any of his books for easily understandable science. Normalizing blood pressure, blood sugar, insulin, cholesterol, triglyercerides & hormone levels are all bonus features of doing a low carb way of eating. Lutz “Life without Bread” & Taubes “Good calories, Bad calories” are excellent books that dispel all the nutrition myths.
All about carbs: key players in health and weight loss
Salad, broccoli, sweet potatoes, avocados, blueberries, kidney beans, yogurt and oatmeal. These foods are listed on numerous top ten lists as “super-foods” for health.

God will save you when you are in a despairing rattrap. I discovered a magic website Top Secret Fat Loss Secret by accident when I am scanning some methods for losing fat. Doctor Suzanne Gudakunst, an Arizona Doctor specializing in the human digestive system and colon since from 2002, has given the diet and medicine industry a heavy blow for her study. It is just because that she appeals to people who are overweight or unhealthy not to believe in their dieting and fat loss drugs any more.
Why dare she talk bigger like this despite of much more life threatening intimidates from the whole diet and medicine industry? Let’s ponder what Suzanne Gudakunst has given to us.
The society is progressing. Our lives are more comfortable than ever before. What we are attaching importance to is our health and the healthy corporeity of our families and best friends. However, the edible foods that we have for our daily life contain harmful chemicals, pesticides, and preservatives, which may not be adverted by most of us. Yet these substances have been existing in our stomach and intestines, infringing upon our digestive system.
Even worse, those harmful things can be stored in our stomach and intestines without decomposing and expelling from our body. Day after day they will come into being parasites and plaques which will stay in our internal bowels and pull down our health. What a terrible thing it is!
There were many experts who have given their theories to the public, which can give you a healthy corporeity and a slim body. However, most of these methods or prescription does not work at all. When I incidentally found the procedures in Top Secret Fat Loss Secret by Dr. Suzanne, the nettlesome fatness disappeared casually day by day. And I am now quite well-liking than ever before.
Dr. Suzanne disseminates that her research program Top Secret Fat Loss Secret is very popular all through the world. Because what she recommends us to eat is to set down a series of eating habits and comestible according to everyone’s metabolic type. (Because we all have different metabolic systems)
Don’t you want a huge striking change? Then, don’t waste any time. Go on to get more information in the linked contents! Come on! Dr. Suzanne will show you the key reason and methods. Top Secret Fat Loss Secret is the very thing that is waiting for saving you. You will definitely not find a teasing fairy tale. Download Click here

fat loss/Muscle Gain Program?
Okay. So ever since Thanksgiving I’ve been eating like a pig for no apparent reason other than the food just staring me down. I’ve gained over 10 lbs in the past 2 months and I’m ready to lose it…the thing is….i need help!
I’m 5′4″ and used to be about 108 lbs and was totally happy with the way I looked. Now though, I’m about 120 and I really want to get back to 108 as quickly as possible (Within a month??) I just want to lose the fat…none of the muscle.
Specifics really help me…I think part of my dieting problem is that I say “Okay, today I’ll eat healthy” but I don’t set a goal and then I get sidetracked.
So please!!! Help me fulfull my new year’s resolution and help me feel confident again!! (and fit into all my new christmas clothes!)
Additionally:
I don’t own a car so I can’t go to any “meetings”, I need to do this on my own. I have access to gym equiptment though (elipstical maching, treadmill, light weights)
ugh. The dreaded holiday weight gain! First, don’t get too upset about this because it really happens to almost everyone. Second, I’m glad that you are trying to lose the weight the healthy way.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was that I needed to stop dieting and have a lifestyle change. I slowly introduced myself to eating 5 mini meals a day and making sure I got enough fruits and veggies into my diet.
Keep track of your daily caloric intake because most people greatly underestimate how many calories they are taking in. Sparkpeople.com is a good site for this.
For working out, try to get in 45-60 mins of cardio 4-5 days a week. But change up your routine. You can do 30 mins running/walking on your treadmill and 20 mins on the elliptical.
With the free weights, you can do bicep curls, shoulder press, lunges, squats, tricep kickbacks, etc. Shape.com has a lot of good moves that you can do.
Good luck with your new year’s resolution
