Healthy dinner? No problem! ;)

Here's a menu for a soup-sandwich combo! Start with Chilled Tomato Soup, next comes Turkey Veggie Wraps and a side of Tangy Coleslaw. Also included is a delicious smoothie recipe =)


Chilled Tomato Soup:
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced onions
3 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic
2 bay leaves
4 pounds firm, heirloom tomatoes, cored, seeded, and cut into eighths
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
4 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Hot sauce

In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and bay leaves and cook for 5 more minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon salt, and thyme and cook for 15 minutes or until the tomatoes soften. Add the water and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook until the tomatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the bay leaves. Using a handheld blender, puree the soup until smooth. Chill the soup. Add 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and hot sauce to taste, as desired.

Turkey Veggie Wraps:
2 cups coarsely chopped smoked turkey breast (about 8 ounces)
2 cups gourmet salad greens
1/2 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear)
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
3 tablespoons light ranch dressing
4 (8-inch) flour tortillas

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing well to coat. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Top each tortilla with 1 cup turkey mixture; roll up. Cut each wrap in half diagonally.

Tangy Coleslaw:
Combine 1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise, 1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss with half of a 16-ounce package cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw; cover and chill.

Yogurt n Fruit Smoothie:
2 cups fat-free milk
1 (8-ounce) container vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup thawed pineapple-orange juice concentrate
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 banana, coarsely chopped

Process all ingredients in a blender until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides. Serve immediately

How long do you have to diet to start noticing weight loss results?

healthy sandwich recipes weight loss image

Q. I'm currently sixteen years old, five feet seven inches, and one hundred-sixty pounds. I downloaded this app called Lose It and it says (for my weight) that I should only eat 1,312 calories a day. So if I stay within that budget, how long will it take for me to start noticing results? My goal weight is one hundred pounds and the app says that if I lose two pounds per week I should reach my goal by November 24th. I've never dieted before so I no pretty much nothing about this. I also exercise every night with an app called Easy Abs. Thank you to anyone who answers!

Answer
Yikes! That is scary!!!! Do NOT lose that much weight in that short amount of time, it's extremely unhealthy. What I suggest you download is an app called FitnessPal. I use it. The healthy calorie intake for me is 1800 calories a day. But I drink skim milk, eat whole wheat bread, and eat lots of veggies. I treat myself to junk once a week, like a small cookie.
I also run on the treadmill for 30 minutes every other day. Some days I do a Julien Micheals workout.

I was overweight before, and I've the course of four months I now have abs! :)
The calories don't matter as much, but Fitness Pal gives you a way to view the sugar and fat intake as well. Don't get too obsessed with the calories, exercising or weight. The best thing to do is to read up on healthy foods. I could give an example of what I eat pretty much.
Breakfast:
2 large eggs with chopped peppers and tomatoes in it, 2 Morningstar sausage, 1 banana, 1 cup skim milk.
OR (different day) 2 cups of 80 calorie fiber one chocolate cereal with 1 cup skim milk
Lunch:
Apple, Clementine, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, 1 oz. Cheese, 1 oz almonds, fat free yogurt, tuna in water, 2 tablespoons mayo
OR (different day) Turkey sandwich instead of tunafish
Dinner:
Recipe out of the south beach diet
Or a salad with lots of different veges

How long until I see results with weight loss and dieting.?

Lilly

I am a female, age 16. I weigh 241 lbs. Recently, I decided I want to change my life style and get healthier. I work out for a half hour doing cardio twice a day, take a half hour walk, and use two pound dumbbells for 12 minutes a day on my arms. I also cut my calorie intake to around 1500 calories a day. What I was wondering is, how long until will it be for me to see results? Thanks.

Answer
Cutting your calorie intake to 1500 calories is not getting healthy. Losing weight is about learning to eat the right things, not restricting how much you're eating. Actively try to eat a balanced diet, and eat in moderation - eat slowly, eat your veggies first, and you'll stop when you're full. Treat yourself occasionally. If you eat well 90% of the time, that other 10% won't matter.

Your exercise is decent, I recommend the following. Ditch the 1/2 hour walk - you're not going to go far enough in 1/2 hour to burn a significant number of calories or make fitness gains beyond what the half hour cardio sessions are giving you. The cardio sessions are probably the most productive part of what you've described. 2 pound dumbbells are useless - they are not heavy enough to do anything. I've eaten sandwiches heavier than that. Any weight that you can lift more than around 12 times in a row is not heavy enough to stimulate gains in strength. Be sure you ease into all of this new exercise, too much too soon is a recipe for injury, you might consider taking a week or two to gradually increase it.

This isn't news to you, but you're pretty overweight. This means you'll see initial results pretty quickly. The more you lose, the slower it will start to come off as you approach a healthy weight. I suggest only weighing yourself once per week, no more. Remember, getting healthy isn't a race, anything good, anything worth doing, takes time - and this is certainly worth doing.

How to Get the Motivation to Lose 100lb+?

healthy sandwich recipes weight loss image

Jenny

So I've been depressed and on a lot of medications for about 3 years now. So the combination of not caring about my health, being really lazy, coping with all types of emotions by eating, and side effects from like 10 different meds have obviously taken a toll. I was never skinny, and was mostly slightly overweight. Now, I am classified as morbidly obese. I have so much weight to lose before I am even close to being back to how I was (and even then I wasn't happy with my weight). But instead of wanting to lose 10 pounds and being able to do it in a couple weeks, I need to lose 100+ pounds just to be healthy. And I know that doesn't take a couple weeks. I'm starting a new college in less than 3 months, and I do want to lose weight and feel more confident, but it feels so hopeless. I mean 150 and I'd be back to where I was before. I never ever would have thought I'd have to lose over 100lbs ever in my life. But I do now, except most days I act like I really couldn't care.

So, I really need motivation to lose weight. (Besides, tiredness and like no endurance to do normal physical activity, I'm lucky enough not to have any health problems related to my weight). So there's no motivation there, the only motivation comes from wanting to look better (and even that's not a 24/7 thing). I'm also a really picky eater. I eat family size bags of potato chips in one sitting when I get mad. I really only cook pasta or frozen pizza for dinner. I hardly ever eat breakfast, sometimes lunch, and then a thousand snacks and a huge dinner. I'm not lacking time to exercise or eat healthy, I just don't have the motivation 7 days a week (or even 3 days a week).

Five years ago I was 5'1'' and 125, that didn't last too long. My normal weight for the exception of these past 3 years has been around 140/150. Which I hated, but now I want back more than anything. Today (I hate to weigh myself), but I'm still 5'1'' and around 240 pounds. (I've always wanted to be under 100lbs, but that will be a goal for sometime later). Getting below the 200 mark would be a huge confidence booster, and getting back down to 140 is what I want, but don't think I could do.

Anyone who's going through this/has lost a lot of weight have any tips?

P.S. I've looked into surgery, a few people in my family and family friends have done it with success but I don't think I could handle only being able to drink 1oz of water over the course of an hour. And all the requirements just to be considered are what I'm having difficulty with. (Like, if I could lose 10 pounds or stick with a diet plan for 6 months I wouldn't be in this position).

Answer
Hey there hun don't give up! You can do it if you put your mind to it. I know how difficult it is to loose the pounds. I was once 200 pounds and I lost 55 pounds, unfortunately I have regained nearly 20 pounds, but I'm working towards loosing it. I know that weight loss can be a daunting process but once you get into it and start losing weight it's a lot easier. I know it seems easier to say sod it im fat anyway, i'll just eat some more.

Eating is often a response to difficult emotions, I sometimes binge eat and it always makes me worse. In order to loose weight you've got to create a healthy meal plan. It's no good going on crash diets, they only make you regain the weight quicker. The good news is that overweight people do loose the weight very quickly. When I first lost weight I lost the weight very fast. You can easily loose 10 pounds in a week without severely restricting yourself. Larger people loose weight more quickly as its mostly water and they're creating a very large deficit in calories. Say you go from eating 5000 calories a day to 2000, you're creating a 3000 calorie deficit when the normal deficit for a person is 500-1000 calories. I lost 9 pounds in one week at the time I was loosing weight. However as your body looses weight it stabilizes a bit more and you may notice the weight loss is slower and you may have weeks where you don't loose weight (known as a plateau), but keep on going and dont let that get you down. It's very difficult for the body to loose weight all the time.

I say eat a healthy diet, no crash diets. Stick to 1500-2000 calories a day. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Do not skip breakfast. Even if you're not in the mood for breakfast, have a cereal bar and a banana. Frozen pizza is not good for you nor is too much pasta. Instead eat foods like jacket potato (easy to make, put it in the oven and have it with maybe tuna or mackeral or coronation chicken, look for low fat topping. Don't use cheese), salads (again easy to make, buy whatever toppings you want; tomatoes, sweetcorn, chicken, even cut up a few potatoes and use a low fat sauce), scrambled eggs or omelett (also very simply). Grilled chicken is also very good and slimming and takes a few minutes to cook, you can serve it with vegetables. Couscous is also really good and healthy, you could have it with the chicken. For more recipes maybe order a recipe book which has healthy recipes. For lunch you could combines some of these things or have a sandwich with less fat (shoo brought sandwiches often have a lot of fat and sat fat so be careful) or sushi (you could also have that for dinner) or you could have salads or make your own lunch.

Loosing weight doesn't mean cutting out your favourite foods, you can still have a bit of chocolate or crisps if you crave it but dont have it too often and only in moderation. Have a normal packet of crisps instead of a family sized pack. You can still enjoy treats, having the odd indulgence is ok and doesn't mean that you've failed. For low fat treats I have frozen yoghurt and low fat popcorn however buy it in small seperate pots or bags as I know it can be tempting to have more. I brought three small pots of frozen yoghurt and i ate them all in one day. Too much of anything even if its healthy isnt good for you.

Also dont keep junk food in the house, ask your family to buy healthy stuff. Exercise is also great in loosing weight, maybe sign up to your local gym. Everyone is really nice at the gym and a trainer there can give you a good exercise programe to stick to. If you dont want to join a gym maybe go for walks or for light jogs or maybe join some classes. There are people all shapes and sizes at the gym and no one stares at them or jeers at them, so don't be afraid. Most people are too busy doing their own thing to notice other people so no need to feel self conscious. At least you're there to do something about your weight right?

One last thing, drink plenty of water. Water really fills you up. Good luck sweetie, you can do this, believe in yourself! Think about how much you want this and be determined. Think to yourself I will be the size of my dreams. Like you said first aim for a healthy weight, maybe 140 and maintain it for a bit and then if you want to loose a bit more weight go for it but you can slow the weight loss down a bit and take your time with it. 120 seems like a good weight, but between 120-140 is also fine. It takes time to loose weight, but its worth the journey. It's like with everything else it takes time, for example it takes time and practise to get better at a hobby or skill, it doesn't just happen immediately. Believe in yourself, you can do this! Believe that you are fabulous :D. Good luck sweetie, I'd love to hear about your progress xx

How do i tone bum, tummy and thighs in time for the summer?

LiteraryGe

Ive got exams on from now until the end of June, so i need quick and easy ways to tone up without spending to much time and money, Preferably in the comfort of my own home :). Any exercise you would recommend ?

Answer
A great way to exercise is to put on a song you really like and dance. Go for a walk with your friends.

Here are a few quick tips I can give you:
-Drink cold water with ice
-Walk or bike to your destination. Good for you, and the environnement.
-Stay away from chips, ice cream, and chocolate, because those are things you often over eat
-Drink apple cider vinegar before each meal, that's how Fergie lost weight.
-Drink soup, one cup is only 50 calories, better than eating a MINI Kit-Kat bar.
-Snack on fruits and veges.
-50% of your diet should be fruits and veges.
-Say NO to diet pills.
-Eat 5 small meals instead of 3 big ones. Maybe half a sandwich and a glass of milk
-Have whole wheat over white
-Dark chocolate over milk chocolate
-When going to a resaturant, ask the waiter to put all the food you didn't eat in a bag so you can eat it for later
-When eating dessert, share half of it with someone
-When going somewhere, park your car farther to your location. So you can walk.

Here are some good recipes:


Stir fry- You need cut up tofu, olive oil, steamed veggies, and cooked rice

Get a frying pan and coat it with olive oil. The put the tofu in the pan and brown each side of it. Next, add the veggies. Add a little more olive oil and put in the rice. Mix everything up and then let it sit on the stove, occasionally stirring it to make sure it doesn't burn. After about a minute and a half of that put it in a bowl and enjoy!


Hummus- chick peas, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, and any other spices/seasonings you like

How long do you have to diet to start noticing weight loss results?

Q. I'm currently sixteen years old, five feet seven inches, and one hundred-sixty pounds. I downloaded this app called Lose It and it says (for my weight) that I should only eat 1,312 calories a day. So if I stay within that budget, how long will it take for me to start noticing results? My goal weight is one hundred pounds and the app says that if I lose two pounds per week I should reach my goal by November 24th. I've never dieted before so I no pretty much nothing about this. I also exercise every night with an app called Easy Abs. Thank you to anyone who answers!

Answer
Yikes! That is scary!!!! Do NOT lose that much weight in that short amount of time, it's extremely unhealthy. What I suggest you download is an app called FitnessPal. I use it. The healthy calorie intake for me is 1800 calories a day. But I drink skim milk, eat whole wheat bread, and eat lots of veggies. I treat myself to junk once a week, like a small cookie.
I also run on the treadmill for 30 minutes every other day. Some days I do a Julien Micheals workout.

I was overweight before, and I've the course of four months I now have abs! :)
The calories don't matter as much, but Fitness Pal gives you a way to view the sugar and fat intake as well. Don't get too obsessed with the calories, exercising or weight. The best thing to do is to read up on healthy foods. I could give an example of what I eat pretty much.
Breakfast:
2 large eggs with chopped peppers and tomatoes in it, 2 Morningstar sausage, 1 banana, 1 cup skim milk.
OR (different day) 2 cups of 80 calorie fiber one chocolate cereal with 1 cup skim milk
Lunch:
Apple, Clementine, 2 pieces of whole wheat bread, 1 oz. Cheese, 1 oz almonds, fat free yogurt, tuna in water, 2 tablespoons mayo
OR (different day) Turkey sandwich instead of tunafish
Dinner:
Recipe out of the south beach diet
Or a salad with lots of different veges

Original Question

How long until I see results with weight loss and dieting.?

Q. I am a female, age 16. I weigh 241 lbs. Recently, I decided I want to change my life style and get healthier. I work out for a half hour doing cardio twice a day, take a half hour walk, and use two pound dumbbells for 12 minutes a day on my arms. I also cut my calorie intake to around 1500 calories a day. What I was wondering is, how long until will it be for me to see results? Thanks.

A. Cutting your calorie intake to 1500 calories is not getting healthy. Losing weight is about learning to eat the right things, not restricting how much you're eating. Actively try to eat a balanced diet, and eat in moderation - eat slowly, eat your veggies first, and you'll stop when you're full. Treat yourself occasionally. If you eat well 90% of the time, that other 10% won't matter.

Your exercise is decent, I recommend the following. Ditch the 1/2 hour walk - you're not going to go far enough in 1/2 hour to burn a significant number of calories or make fitness gains beyond what the half hour cardio sessions are giving you. The cardio sessions are probably the most productive part of what you've described. 2 pound dumbbells are useless - they are not heavy enough to do anything. I've eaten sandwiches heavier than that. Any weight that you can lift more than around 12 times in a row is not heavy enough to stimulate gains in strength. Be sure you ease into all of this new exercise, too much too soon is a recipe for injury, you might consider taking a week or two to gradually increase it.

This isn't news to you, but you're pretty overweight. This means you'll see initial results pretty quickly. The more you lose, the slower it will start to come off as you approach a healthy weight. I suggest only weighing yourself once per week, no more. Remember, getting healthy isn't a race, anything good, anything worth doing, takes time - and this is certainly worth doing.
