What is a really good weight loss diet program?

Q. I want to get a head start on weight loss for the new year. I don't have a lot of extra time, so an online program would be best for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A. There is this great website that helps you find the best weight loss programs. There are quizes, blogs, forums, websites, and much more that will help you. There is an awesome support group.

What is the best way to judge a weight loss competition?
Q. I am starting a weight loss competition between friends and need to know the best way to decide the winner since all of us have a different amount of weight we wish to lose.

A. There are different ways you can judge this competition.
For instance, you can all give an amount of weight you need to lose (your goal weight) it could be 10lbs, 20LBS, 30lbs, in a certain period of time.
whoever loses the more % of weight and is able to reach the desired goal (or pass it) is the winner.

Another way is, since all of you guys are going for weight loss, you can check the body fat % lost and decide the winner according to who lost the most body fat %.

You can also have 2 prices according to the two guidelines stated above.

Happy competition!
Have fun!

How effective is drinking lemon water for weight loss?
Q. It is told that lemon water helps with weight loss, but how effective is it? Not the detox diet, but just drinking lemon water throughout the day, how much weight could you possibly lose in a week? In a month? I am curious to know how effective it really is in losing weight.

A. Actually, just drinking any kind of water will significantly help with weight loss.

Water helps to improve liver function. Your liver helps you metabolize and burn fat easily. But when you are dehydrated, your kidneys will have trouble functioning, and your liver will have to pick up the slack.

Now, let's think about this for a minute...

If you were your liver, would you be more concerned with burning fat, or helping out your ailing kidneys? That's what I thought! And that's exactly what your liver does.

So, if you want to start your body's natural fat-burning process, make sure you stay hydrated.

Also, drinking water, whether it's got lemon in it or not, will help you feel fuller throughout the day. This will keep you from snacking on unhealthy foods and help you limit your portion sizes too.

I hope this helps.

How long after major weight loss should you give your skin to firm up before resorting to plastic surgery?
Q. If I had some loos skin on tummy and arms after an 80 pound weight loss, how long should I give it to firm up? Im young, 23 years old, but will the skin tighten with exercise or stay flabby?

A. The thing with a large weight loss is that the weight is generally lost too fast, which doesn't give the skin enough time to go back to what it was.
After reaching your target weight, I would wait a few months, doing regular light exercise and eating healthily, and then see how your skin is. If you are still unhappy you could look into plastic surgery.

Try this website though, it has some advice about excess skin after weight loss, and non surgical methods. http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

Good luck. x
