Claus here! The amount of calories you eat causes weight loss or gain, not when you eat them. But eating late can increase hunger.

Attempting to lose weight the healthy way?

Q: I’ve become far more active and I’m eating better but the exercise is giving me muscle. So while I’m toning down I’m not shedding any pounds and I have to be a certain weight to get a job I really want. Is there an easier, still healthy, way to drop weight? I’m sure if I keep going at it I’d drop the pounds entirely but I have a time deadline and not enough self-control to cease eating entirely.Oh, for the info.. I’ve stopped eating most meats entirely and I’m hitting the gym twice a day usually to go to the pool so I can work on swimming -and- exercise.

A: The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/library/weight/calsburned.htmGet a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities. Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight: Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htmTeens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.htmlIt is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. *2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement. Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/carbohydrates.htmlDo not try fad diets or diet pills.

A: Well if you eat right… the only thing that can help is working out.. And not just push up and sit ups.. you need to be doing cardio to burn off the extra fat.. try going for a jog or something that gets you really moving, something that you’ll actually enjoy doing.. Theres nothing worse than having to do a work out that you hate..Besides that, theres really nothing else thats going to help.

I’m Trying to Lose Weight for Scuba Diving and I Need Advice on a Certain Food?

Q: I ordered a small, hand-tossed pizza from dominos. I only had pepperoni and green peppers put on it, NO CHEESE (think what they thought when they saw that order). I know that cutting out the cheese cuts out a lot of fat and calories, but I have to wonder how many calories would be in after the cheese was removed? Also, I’m having a hard time losing weight. I run a mile or two every day. It took me a few weeks, but I can now jog a mile continuously without stopping. I can see the muscle in my calves now and I’m losing celluite in my legs. (Note: I’m 17 and 5’7″, weighing in at 193, though people claim I don’t look above 160.) However, I didn’t weigh myself for over a month and continued to run and eat healthy. Yet when I finally decided to see if I lose any weight, I jumped on the scale thinking to see a great decline. The thing never even moved. Everyone says that I look like I’ve lost weight, but the scale differs. Shouldn’t I have lost weight by now? Advice would help

A: First of all taking off cheese does cut calories and fat, but when they prepare the pizza dough, they cover it in oil to keep it from drying out, so you get that fat, too. Also, pepperoni is high in fat. Aside from that, if you are eating healthy and are exercising, you are gaining muscle, so the scale looks like it hasn’t moved at all. Don’t look at the scale. Look at the way your clothes fit. They will tell you the truth. Here is a perfect example: In highschool I was 5′ 4″ at 123 pounds. Looked a little chubby. As an adult I had gained weight and started working out. I got down to only 127 pounds but was a lot smaller than I was in school. It was the muscle replacing the fat. Keep doing what you are doing and it will happen. Good luck!!
