Questionthanks for the great advice. I made a plan so this morning, I had a bowl of oatmeal (160kcalories). I then went to the gym and exercised for 2 hours on the ellipse machine. The machine said I burned 800 calories. For lunch, I'm plannning to have an apple and some grapes. For dinner, I will have a salad with lowfat dressing. I will also take multi-vitamins. If I keep eating like this, will I be able to lose at least 10 in a month?

-----Question-----
I am 19 years old and live in New York and I currently have a month off from school and I just want to knock of those 20 lbs asap. It is ruining my confidence daily as I've been thin for three years. I workout at the gym 1-2 hours daily on the ellipse. I find it really hard to cut out the bread in my diet so I just limit myself to it for breakfast. I have the bread for my breakfast instead of throughout the day. I have a 500 calorie breakfast and that is my largest meal. For the rest of my meals, I have a protein shake and fruits and vegetables. I'm afraid to add more starchy foods as it will hinder my weightloss, I think. Any suggestions?

Hi, I was a fruitarian for three years and I've lost twenty pounds. Now, I switched to a normal diet and I've gained back all the weight in two months. I found that this "normal diet" is not for me due to the lack of energy so if I go back to the fruitarian diet, will I lose weight and if I do, how long will it take for me to lose those twenty pounds? Please be precise, I think I made a big mistake switching back to the "normal diet

Dear Yan,
At first, I hope your dreams come true.
If you are trying to lose weight, aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. If you are able to attain your goal, you would get the excitement to go on your plan. Sometimes it is little things that count the most when working toward your goals.
The combination of diet and exercise is a faster way to lose weight, but it depends on the person’s body and how strict his diet. A strict diet could make you lose 3kgs in a week. Weight loss is just an uphill battle. You have got to keep on fighting. You must figure out why you lose the battles you lose and pray like hell you win the war.
Due to lack of your elaborated details & particulars (your country - climate - profession - age - daily lifestyle & the like things), I would recommend only few suggestions, though these may help you lot:
The available recipes are water and vegetables and fruits and proper sports and a strict partner.
1.The vegetables and fruits include papaya, mealie, kelp, carrot, green cucumber, tomato, apple, pear, banana and so on. Remark, eating different kind of vegetables or fruits each day, you can go on your diet easily and everlastingly.
2.The available sports are Yoga. You know, the people who practice yoga have perfect figure. If you are interesting in it, I could give you some suggestions about yoga practice.
3.A strict partner can support you going on your diet strictly.
4.The foremost austerity is persistence.
Now, I would like to share my experience with you.
First of all, I had a nice partner. We restricted each other going on the diet strictly.
1.Getting up early in the morning, we drank a glass of water before any action. It could help you clean your inside.
2.We had a 20-30 minutes’ quick walk to office instead of bus in the morning. It is available to burn your calories to have a quick walk without eating anything in the morning.
3.After arriving at office and having a rest, we drank a glass of milk and ate 2 pieces of biscuit as our breakfast. Remark, you must have breakfast.If not, you could feel too hungry to go on your diet.
4.Between breakfast and lunch, we drank 3 glasses of water and eat little raw vegetables or fruits. It is available to relieve your hunger. If you still feel hungry, you can eat a piece of sweet. Just only one piece.
5.Before lunch, we drank a bottle of yoghurt. And then we ate a little vegetables or fruits as our lunch. We would eat a few peanut as our lunch too. Remark, it could make you feel full drinking a bottle of yoghurt before each meal. Drinking much water, you eat peanut, feeling full.
6.Between lunch and knocking off, we drank 3 glasses of water and eat little raw vegetables or fruits to relieve our hunger.
7.Knocking off, we had another 20-30 minutes quick walk to home. It is available for weight loss having proper exercises at dusk with hunger.
8.We just drank a little soup or ate a little vegetables or fruits as our supper. Remark, drink one or two glasses of water and don’t eat anything in the 3 hours’ time before going to bed.
My suggestions:
1.After having gone on your diet for 3-4 days, you can feel better and easier to continue. Therefore go on your diet strictly in the first week.
2.Try to achieve your goal of weight loss in 1~2 months. It could make you possess confidence in this field.
3.Have 5 meals instead of 3 meals every day.
4.Eat more fruits and drink less fruit juice.
5.If you don’t feel hungry, don’t remind you of the time to have a meal.
6.Drink a glass of water before each meal.
7.Don’t trial too many diet pills, it would cost you more and be dangerous for your body.
8.Attentively, proper sports could perfect your figures, strong sports could strengthen your muscle.
9.If you can’t find a strict partner, you can treat me as your companion, feeling free to tell me how about your diet. It is my honor to interact with you in this field. I would try my best to give you more suggestions and share my experience and accompany you going on the diet.
O.K. If you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Best wishes,
Sally Fan

Dear Yan,
Glad to see your message again.
If you want to knock off those 20 lbs asap, your diet would be very hard.
1. Keep workout everyday, remember to release slowly after workout, don’t eat anything in 30 min after workout, if not, you would get weight fast. Better drink a cup of hot black coffee within 30 min before workout, it would help you to burn fat.
2. Better cut all bread and starchy foods and meat in this month. Don’t eat too sweet fruits. Don’t eat anything within 3 hours before sleep.
3. Don’t drink any sweet beverage.
4. I know it is very hard, so you need to focus, think of how beautiful you are after having knocked off those 20 lbs.
5. Don’t switch to normal diet at once after the strict diet. If not, you would get double weight. Better recover your normal diet step by step in 3-6 month.
Good luck! Looking forward to your good news.
Sally Fan
