Free Weight Loss Diet Plans Online

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   where online can I find free weight loss menus and diet plans?
   nothing too elaborate like weight watchers or jenny craig. Just some healthy meal plans/guides of things to eat during the week that are low in fat and calories. Specifically, 1300 calorie plans would be good, and like I said nothing I have to pay for.

   • ANSWER:
     Fruit and Whole Grains: belong to the group of complex carbohydrates. Your body digest those slower than simple carbohydrates like white sugar, rice and potatoes. Eat a small piece of dark chocolate or have a cup of milk to calm cravings.

     Cooked Food vs. Processed Food: Avoid processed foods, as they are often high in salt and sugar and preservatives to prolong shelf-life. Fresh, cooked food has fewer calories and lacks the harmful additives of heat-and-eat processed foods.

     Go Organic: Organic is not just the hottest fad in town, but it is the way to go. Organic fruit, vegetables and milk, eggs and meat, retain more minerals and vitamins than their counterparts which are often treated with pesticides, or hormones. I rather pay a little more for meat, milk and eggs from animals that are treated humanly.

   • ANSWER:
     I find that drinking water helps a lot in shedding weight. It isn't so much the water but the lack of sugar that's in drinks that does it.

   • ANSWER:
     To lose weight successfully,you should know:

     Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.........
     You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

     Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK........
     You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

     Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.......
     You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

     In fact,the food that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT!!!

     GO to the source below,,

     http://www.yesloseweight.com

     It will tell you the whole secret of weight loss and tell you how to lose weight by eating Chicken,Fish Filet,Cottage Cheese,sandwich and so on.You can find weight loss is so easy and so happy!!!!!

7. QUESTION:
   Can anyone recommend a good diet plan where I could find free menus and recipes online?
   I need to lose a considerable amount of weight, and I've always had issues with energy. Because I've gotten out of the habit of eating regular meals and only usually eat one large meal a day, it's going to take me some time to get into the swing of a diet, but I just haven't found any yet that seem they would work for me. I just need some energy and some good quality weight loss. I would be willing to commit some time to it if I found something that would help with the energy - not looking for fast weight loss. Thanks in advance for any help or experience that others can share!

9. QUESTION:
   does anyone know a really good FREE diet?
   hi...
   ive been gaining alot of weight....nd..
   ive got a major concert commin up nd im no where near as fit as the others or as fit as i shud be.....
   does anyone know a really good diet plan thats not too comlicated...you know like buying expensive cereals and weight loss tablet...somthin simple....somthin thats suitable for 12-16year old...(some of the other girls need it aswell)
   if anyone knows any online diet plans aswell it would be a great help but plzz not any that i hve to pay for.....im a student...nd rite now not in a state that i can pay for weight loss diets..
   thankyou!
   i really need some help in lossing weight

   • ANSWER:
     Hi
     The way to lose weight is not to try following these faddy diets that either cost loads or the meals cost loads, who could really keep that up?
     Think back to what you a doing differently now, since you started gaining alot of weight. Are you spending more money on sweets, crisps, or spending more time sitting around on computers and not actually moving about that much unless you have to for school?

     The only real way to lose weight is to eat less calories (Energy in your foods) than you burn everyday.

     http://caloriecount.about.com/ is a free website that may give you some tips and guidelines, BUT if you want to lose weight, add more activity to your everyday life, walk to school instead of a lift, find an active hobby you enjoy, (Netball, dancing, skating... there's loads out there, or even walking your own or a neighbours dog)
     try to stay away from foods that you know are full of calories or fat, (Look at the nutrition labels and if snacks and processed foods have more than 4% fat per 100grams its too high... chocolate, cakes, pastries, biscuits, and limit foods you think you might eat too much of to lower amounts, say 2 slices of bread a day instead of more, one portion of cheese a day. (Bread, cheese, meat... )

     It is very hard to lose weight, the hardest bit of it all is to keep sticking to it everyday, but if you really want to lose some, the only person who can do it is you. You will have days that you eat too much and feel you have "Blown everything" but when a day or mealtime happens to go over the top and you eat far too much - you have to carry on like it didn't happen as soon as you can. Thats the only way you wont "Blow it"

     Very good luck with whatever you decide, Its a long slow process but the weight didn't suddenly appear over-night so it wont disappear over-night either.
     It is worth it, I've lost 4 and a half stone and I promise you its worth it.

10. QUESTION:
    weight loss fears and support?
    im 16 years old and i weigh 246 lbs.. i know its crazy so please dont make fun of me. but i wanna start loosing weight.. my goal is to loose 70-85 lbs in the next 6 months. is that too much if it is what is the appropriate amount. also how can i prevent excess saggy skin.. and are there free online support groups for teen girls? and does anyone know a good diet plan?

    • ANSWER:
      It is possible within 6 months if you work hard and are dedicated. Overall it depends on your body type and health history. Here is what you do.

      1. Don't count calories or worry about eating fat etc like others may say. Stick to science when it comes to fat lose, not hype.
      2. Eat when hungry, eat until satisfied, and never to get full. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
      3. Eat good natural foods, you need veggies, good proteins, good fats, and overall good nutrition.
      4. Avoid all processed foods, all sodas, sweeteners of all kinds, soy products, and all refined foods and grains.
      5. Follow a diet for your metabolism. Check out Dr. Mercola on the web ane his book on metabolism.
      6. Drink good water 8-10 glasses a day
      7. Exercise. Aerobic is good for your heart and to get things flowing but it won't help much for fat loss. If you aren't use to exercise, start walking daily.
      8. Build muscle. Muscle will burn the fat. Do sit ups, pull ups, leg lifts, and crunches daily. Increase your intensity every week. Add different varieties about every ten days. You must keep challenging your muscles or you'll stagnant after a few weeks.
      9. Find someone to help motivate and keep you going. A friend, a coach, a personal trainer.
      10. keep track of your progress and don't give up.
      11. Don't worry about the weight, its fat lose and health that should be your focus.
      12. Keep a positive attitude.

      This plan works and is based on science.

      It is a time-honored tradition to make resolutions at this time of year. If your resolution is to lose weight - and keep it off, then keep reading! Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way.

      1. Lose weight with water.
      Water is essential for everybody - it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven't been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.

      By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store water. Drink at least 60 ounces of water (about 8 glasses) a day. Boil water and sliced lemons, and drink this throughout the day to help with fluid retention. If you are still not sold on the merits of water, try this on for size: water is a natural appetite suppressant.

      2. Soup up your weight loss program.
      A simple dietary change will have you shedding pounds: eat a bowl of soup at least once a day. Nutritious, low-salt soups will nourish you as they flush waste from your body. People who eat a serving of soup daily lose more weight than those who eat the same amount of calories but don't eat soup. Go for homemade soup whenever possible, as canned soups are loaded with salt and chemicals.

      3. Eat early to keep weight off.
      The human body follows a circadian rhythm, which means that the same foods eaten at breakfast and lunch are processed differently than when eaten at dinner. Studies show that when you eat your daily protein and fat at breakfast you tend to lose weight and have more energy; however, eating the same things at dinner tend to increase tendencies toward weight gain. I suggest that you eat your last meal of the day by 7 p.m.

      4. Eat smaller meals, more frequently.
      Follow an eating schedule with five little meals every day. Eating steadily through the day keeps you from becoming famished and overeating at your next meal. Make a low-fat trail mix from raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, dried plum, and apples and have it available at all times to avoid the tempting lure of high-calorie snacks.

      5. Adopt a balanced approach to your diet.
      Most of the fad diet programs out there nowadays are extreme in a few recommended foods, or else deprive the body of food altogether. This works in opposition to our metabolism and the results usually don't last, producing a yoyo effect that depresses your metabolic function - not to mention your self-esteem. We are natural beings that need a balance of nutrition from all sources.

      Your diet should consist of a balance of organic sources of lean protein, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Instead of white rice and pasta, opt for brown rice, bulgur, millet, or buckwheat.

      Eat more green, chlorophyll-rich foods such as broccoli, kale, spinach, and asparagus. Eliminate candy, sugar, soda, and all simple sugars from your diet. Excess sugar ends up being stored as fat in your body, which results in weight gain. Also, keep dairy to a minimum because most dairy products are high in saturated fat. Avoid fatty foods, processed or fried foods.

      6. Walk off the weight.
      The No. 1 cause of weight gain is inactivity. Physical activity is the key to speeding up your metabolism and burning excess calories. The best way to be physically active is to use your legs! Walk as often and as long as you can. Always take the stairs instead of the elevator.

      Step outside during your break at work and take a walk around your building. Consider joining a local hiking club. Try taking a walk 30 minutes in the morning or 30 minutes in the early evening.

      I hope this article helps you shed some pounds and add on the years! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me.

      May you live long, live strong, and live happy!

      -Dr. Mao

17. QUESTION:
    Need Some Weight Loss Help & Suggestions?
    I want to start loosing weight again and I was wondering if TAEBO would be good for burning fat and getting tone as well as how long it might take and if it would be a good idea for a fitness plan?

18. QUESTION:
    Diet and Exercise Plan For a 280 Pound Teen?
    ok, I am just going to come out and say it. I am a 5 foot 11 inch 16 year old female, and I weight 280 pounds. I am so tired of my health problems, so now I want to make a change! I've searched, but It seems there isn't a single free weight loss program intended just for teens anywhere on the internet! I mean, I think that is just wrong! Not all teens are anorexic!

    I have been quite big since I was a baby, and I never really cared what I looked like until middle school. Then, I started to notice how slim, fit and beautiful all the other teenage girls were. When I looked down, I noticed that I was at least twice the size of them, my skin was full of pimples, and I had more health problems than a 60 year old. . .

    Right now I suffer with high blood pressure, and it is a horrid thing to have when your a teen. You can't do much without getting a head rush and falling over. The worst part of being over weight in high school is that you can't do sports. Cause of the health problems!

    I know. . . Being over weight is my own fault. I am so lazy. I hate doing anything that involves physical exertion. That and my eating habits are clouding my chances at having a good senior year next year! So, now I have decided to make a change and do something to get the weight off and get healthy by the time senior year rolls around.

    I'll try every healthy habit to get in shape for my adult life! I'll start counting calories and exercising on a daily basis. Anything to get healthy, but the one thing I will not do is go on a crash diet and exercise all day every day! I want to lose the weight fast, but I also want to be an all around healthier person, and keep the weight off for life.

    There has to be someone out there who specializes in health plans for obese teens. There has to be someone out there who understands. There has to be a Jillian Michaels for teens! I mean, she is my hero. If I could be as fit as her, I would be the happiest girl in the world. Of course, you'd hear that phrase if you were asking for a million dollars, but SERIOUSLY! I would take the opportunity to work with Jillian Michaels over money!! Wouldn't you rather get fit, happy, and healthy before you worry about money?

    Please! I am so desperate. I am embarrassed to go to my mom now out of the blue and ask to go to the doctor to get a diet and exercise plan now. Not after the many times I've turned down her offers to get exercise equipment and go to see a dietitian. I need some suggestions to experts' and doctors' websites that offer some professional advice to teens. Maybe you know of a free Health Plan online for teens that I could check out! Anything to help me get myself together!

    I truely appreciate your help. You don't know how much it means to me.

    • ANSWER:
      I think your mom would be proud of you if you wanted to get a plan from the doctor, but for now, here are some suggestions. For diet, I'm no expert, but try to eat things closest to how God originally made them. Nuts, vegetables, fruit, fish..all very healthy. And drink only water if you can, and maybe the occasional apple or orange juice. Eat only 3 or 4 times a day. Also, brush your teeth after each meal or snack. Something about having a lasting food taste in our mouths makes us want to eat more.

      For fitness, I'd like to think that I'm much closer to an expert. Running is always the best for slimming down, but it may be intimidating to you. Try just jogging in place in your living room for 10 minutes without stopping while you watch tv. No need for shoes, fancy clothes, people watching. There's no way to procrastinate. Just jump up and do it. During the commercials on tv, do small quick excercises, like jogging in place or high kicks. You also need to try to get in each muscle group worked out every day. Here's a list of the best, no equipment needed exercizes for each group:

      Back of arms (triceps): Put your hands on a low surface (like a couch or the bottom step of the stairs) and put your feet together on the ground in front of you. Lower your body to where your bottom almost touches the floor, and lift back up. Do 20 reps a day.

      Arms and chest: Do pushups. Not girl pushups. Do 10 a day.

      Abs. Here's the doozy for girls. Do ALL of these a day if you eventually want a flat stomach. :
      1. Regular crunch. Lie on the floor with your hands behind your head and lift your shoulder blades off the ground. Don't let your chin hit your collarbone. 40 reps a day.
      2. Side crunches. For left, assume same position as regular and bring right elbow to left knee. For right do the reverse. Do 20 reps of each a day.
      3. Lower ab crunches. Lie on your back with your feet straight above you in the air and touch your toes. 20 reps a day.
      4. Lower ab side crunches. (After you've lost some weight, you can replace this for Side crunches (#2) some days.) Assume position of lower ab crunches and reach for the space beside left foot 20 times, then right 20 times (daily).
      5. Vertical cut crunches. (Also add this in after you've lost some. Don't want to overwhelm you at first.) Lie on your side. Prop yourself up on the elbow and knee closest to the ground, letting the other leg and arm extend straight. Pull the extended arm towards your back, 10 reps a day on each side.
      Hips: Lie on your side and pull one leg up until its perpendicular with the floor. 50 reps each side.
      Butt: Lie on your back with your feet firmly planted on the ground. Raise your pelvis. 40 reps.
      Butt and legs: Get on your hands and knees. Lift your bended leg. 20 reps each leg.
      Legs: Again, get on your hands and knees. Straighten one leg. Lift it. 20 reps each leg.
      Inner thighs: Lie on your back with your legs bend and your knees straight up, your feet not touching the floor. Lower your knees to the sides of you til they almost touch the floor, and bring them together again. 50 reps.

19. QUESTION:
    ok i'm a girl and need to lose weight..............can you please help?
    Hi. Ok I am a 13 yr. old girl. 5'6 and 160 pounds. I would love to lose weight. It's not because I want to be skinny. It's because I have know about the dangers of being over weight. The doctor won't do ANYTHING and my parents are unsupportive and won't help me. Can someone please help? I don't just want to be skinny though. I want muscle and strength. I feel like I'm carrying something heavy all the time because of all this weight. I can't go online and order stuff or pay to join a club because I don't have money or a bank account. I'm athletic though. I LOVE sports. I'm about to go into High School also next year also. I always hear people whisper behind my back "look at the fat girl" and it hurts. I have joined all the free weight loss sites and I have tried everything but no weight comes off! I have no support or someone to tell me what to do. I would love to have a personal trainer that was there and asked me how I worked out today and how to improve it but I don't. Anyways please don't say "Your too young" or "Your only 13" I don't care about being skinny I care about feeling good about myself. I don't have friends because I'm to scared to talk to people because of what they might say to me or what they'll say about my weight. And the friends I do have don't care. Oh and don't say "Here's a site that might help (link)" or give me a diet plan to repeat. What I need is a person that can help me and support me. But if you do have any tricks up your sleeve please tell. Thank you for reading. Oh and......................HELP!LOL!

    • ANSWER:
      You sound like a pretty girl. I am 3 inches shorter than you and I'm 160 lbs too. Don't feel so bad. I am 24 though, but I don't consider myself fat. Well I've lost and gained weight since I was a teenager. I think my best advice would to be to give a shot at being active. Whatever is easiest for you. If you like dancing, you can join a dance club in school. Or you can always join the YMCA. They are cheap and sometimes free, just call and ask if they have free memberships for kids? I think they have classes, and just take a different fitness class every day for an hour a day. I like jogging/walking on a treadmil while I watch TV. Because then I forget I'm working out, and I'm watching my favorite show. You sound tall too. Do you like basketball? Sports are a great way to make friends and to stay in shape without thinking about it too much. Don't worry so much, just get out and have fun. Ride bikes with your friends too.

    • ANSWER:
      you need to eat less and exercise more, that's it, you can't do it fast, it takes as long as it takes

      weight watchers would give you a good way to track all the biscuits etc.
      and I dislike gyms but circuit classes etc. make you lose weight easily enough without all the 'having to motivate yourself' thing

      In the meantime start walking everyday 3 - 4 times for 20-30 minutes.

23. QUESTION:
    Do you think atkins or low gi will be better?
    I have pcos so its harder to lose weight, also certain foods have a funny affect on me.
    I've not really tried any diet to be honest for a period of time, i just try bits of this or that.
    My dietician at my gp said things like the atkins weren't necessary but that i should reduce the amount of starchy foods in portion size and make sure they are wholemeal or wholegrain etc. Also she said i should look at labels and not eat foods with over 10 grams sugar or 5-8grams of fat per 100grams and that by doing this i will reduce calorie intake anyway, without her giving me a calorie count.
    Everytime i read about diets i feel terrible and struggle to think how i'll cope trying to follow any, plus its not nice when people make nasty comments, had one just lastnight cos a argument broke out when we were out, and this guy called me a fat bitch charming!
    I see parts of diets and think oh i can do that, but then its following the whole thing otherwise it won't work.
    Someone said because of the pcosand its link with insulin resistance i should folllow low carb/low gi diet, the atkins is just rediculous to me and although many health professionals have said the weight loss you see in people is astonishing, and that even though you do add things in at a later date as you go along, its too restrictive.
    I 've tried versions of low gi, when i did it propely i lost 3lb in a couple of days, but not sure of it and if it works as the green foods seems you can have as much as you like, and one gi diet included snickers bars! but said in brackets high fat so assuming they are saying even though its on the green list don't consume too often maybe.
    Also looked at slimming world, they show you a online 7 day diet, foods in bold that are down for that day you can eat as much as you like, plus there are free foods, i suppose maybe if you go there it does say you can make up your own plan doesn't have to be there one, but the meals/snacks would have to be measured well some as they do still state measurements for some things, have any of you tried slimming world.
    Although the atkins is all about net carbs etc, some girls have told me they just cut there intake of carbs as a whole but allowed themselves abit more than the atkins does and lost loads,but does this mean i could still eat some good carbs but also bad ones too if i cut down on them? The carb count on packets says 230grams a day this is on a normal diet under 2000 calories, and of which sugars says 90grams, so if i were to cut my carb intake should i just cut the whole 230gram figure in half or cut down starch figure and sugar seperatly as it would seem 230grams of which sugars being 90grams means they are allowing you more for starch, makes it 140grams for starch 90grams for sugar.
    Sorry if i've babbled on and jumped from one diet subject to another, please advise if you can! Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      My main concern for myself and you is health. I do not recommend Atkins for vanity reasons but for optimal health (losing weight is just a nice bonus). As long as you keep your carbs under 9grams an hour you will have your body in optimal mode for health & healing and shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin (the fat storage hormone) is not triggered.

      The main reason that I specifically advocate Atkins is that it literally transforms your body. You lose the carb addiction and you can see a huge difference without the addiction. Your body completely works different, you are hungry for food not carbage, you want vegetables & proteins and foods that fuel the body. You can tell that carbs degenerate the body & fats regenerate it. Reading recommendations are one thing but when you KNOW what is best for your body and know that you've been lied to by nutritional advisors. It makes you angry.

      I wondered how not only educated persons but persons specifically educated in nutrition are promoting sugar as a food essential to health but I now know that anyone that goes against the current regulations can lose their license and be sued for malpractice (even though what they are doing IS malpractice but it's accepted practice - sigh).

      I followed the USDA dietary recommendations low fat, adequate protein, high carb, lots of fresh fruits & veg and kept getting sicker & fatter. My adrenal glands quit working, my thyroid wasn't working properly, I was doing everything I thought was right & kept getting worse. My doc was freaking out about high triglycerides & cholesterol and I just refused to do the drugs.

      6 years ago, I started Atkins low carb way of eating to just quit gaining weight. I had to get my out of control appetite under control. I never imagined I could LOSE weight without hunger or exercise, since I've become disabled. I never bothered weighing or measuring til I'd noticed that my clothes got huge quick. When my health improved dramatically also, I knew this was my new way of life and since it's eat all you want (of low carb foods) I know I can do this for life.

      My personal carb level is low. I am older & disabled & don't move much (or cook much) but I eat all I want of meats, eggs, cheeses, yogurt, fats, green vegetables, almonds, berries, flax seeds, chia seeds, shirataki noodles and other foods. Someone active would have a MUCH higher carb level & can usually include all fruits, beans, whole grain products but not sugar & highly refined carbs in unlimited amounts. As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn't gain weight, no matter the calories.

      Overweight & obese people have blood sugar & insulin dysfunctions and can NEVER eat carbs as someone with a functioning body can. They make the mistake of going back to the way of eating that made them fat and that is not possible and yes they will gain all weight back if they eat what they ate that made them obese originally. Insanity is defined as doing the exact same thing, in the exact same way and expecting different results. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar & maintain weight or health.
