Overweight - Need Advice Posted: 04-24-06 12:16pm
Hello. I am 17 years old, male, 5' 11",
and 235 lbs. I have tried everything from
self starvation to the south beach diet to
a wrestler’s diet and exercise. I am
sick of trying things and not getting the
results I want. I know that this isn't a
disorder per say, but I do have a problem
with my weight and I need to loose about
35-45 pounds. I don’t care if it is
illegal, dangerous, or just plain stupid.
I just want ideas to run off of. I have
been told that smoking can keep cravings
down but that hasn't worked. Please I
need more options. Thanks in advance...

I Am Not Going Give You Advice On Eating Disorder Behavior Posted: 04-24-06 17:24pm
Some people in this section actually have
eating disorders and it could be
detrimental for them to read advice on how
to lose weight unsafely.
You might want to try another section like
diets, fitness, or nutrition.
If you have trouble having losing weight
with diets and exercise, perhaps you are
not meant to lose weight, at least not
very fast. Some people just don't burn
fat well.

Hey Dellion Posted: 04-25-06 10:31am
I know your just looking advice so heres
some, ive just read that if you cut out
all meat products and adapapt to a healter
diet like just fruit, veg and fish it
would help with reagular exercise, if it
is to hard to give up meat products
compleatly just have one a day.

The most effective way to loose weight if
you are serious about it is to set down
eating and fitness guidelines and get a '
support person' to advise help and
enchorage you. If you cant afford a
personal trainer it can be just as good
having a good friend to help you

Yes, I agree with what was said here.
Just because you've tryed a lot of ways
and they didn't work, it doesn'te have to
mean that you don't have any more
chances.
Look, don't give up, but don't forget that
losing weight in your case can be good but
only if it's done in an appropriate way,
because being healthy is, I keep saying
this, the most important thing.
If you want to lose weight by starving,
for example, you may lose weight, but that
will be bad for you, because you'll be
playing with your organism instead of
listening to it and dealing with it in a
good way.

Hey thats a good point, and if you are
really self conscious about your weight it
may be hard to tell that your becomming
healthier. I think you have to change
your priorities personally.
You shouldnt be trying to loose weight as
such but more become healthier. Once you
start eating healthily and excericing
more, your body should tell you your doing
the right thing?
I think it might be a good idea to see
your doctor about effective ways to shed
those pounds?
