Dieting

My mom is diebetic and needs to loose ten pound what would be the fastest quickest way to drop 10 pounds? Does fiber really work? laura

I would have to say the fastest and best way is through exercise. Stand by your mom and help her loose the weight. Everyday you come home from school you can take her for a walk somewhere. Try to keep it on a straight road, with no hills and bumps (fitness tip) It helps sculpt the body better.

When she's comfortable with the walking you should increase the speed a bit, untill it becomes sort of a jog. Don't rush into it and tell her to jog. Be patient, even if she walks twice as fast in three weeks as she did in the beginning, that's an improvement.

You could also talk to your dad. Maybe you guys can save some money and buy your mom an exercise bike. We've got one at home and my brothers girlfriend uses it everyday. She's overweight. The bike has speed and intensity settings which makes it a great workout.

It doesn't look like a bike, but it sure works like one. It could be a bit expensive, you're looking at about $150 - $300 (if I converted correctly)

Stand by your mom, pray for her. I will pray for her too

I think it is really neat that you care about your mom, lou, and I think teraside's advice is very good.

yes its great advice. and another... lots of water!! it helps alot,and less soda and soft drinks. well normal soda (water not juice) may be sometime good but always before mini jog like in the advice lots of water!! atleast 2.5 and to eat less bread cuz its make the stomach stay fat and when less bread more easy to lose weight. and atleast every day 15 min of jog with 1-2 weeks with the tips above it should help to lose weight . i hope ur mother lose 10 pounds quickly. GOD BLESS U

1. Eat right (this is more effective than the excercising itself)
2. Sleep well (8 hours)
3. Excersise
4. Water, plenty of it
5. High fiber, low carbs, lean meat, lots of green vegetables.

Stay away from anything artifical, even "20% juice" (except lemon juice, I think that's done for a reason obviously due to the sour taste).


Also, green tea is very effective. Drink at least one cup a day, great stuff. Add fresh lemon and honey.

ah, green tea! Revolting stuff, really...although my sister swears by it. However doctors/ and studies show that there is no evidence to back this up. But it is healthy and full of good benefits!

You want to know the quickest way?? Hun, weight loss, is a loooong process...

And rapid weight loss is VERY bad anyway, because you could end up with this excess skin which just sags, and stretch marks all over.. I dont think that would be nice..


To lose weight you dont even have to really diet. Just change your lifestyle and be healthy. Your mothers weight would just naturally slim down, because of this change.

And i hate the "no carbs" talk.. Carbs are incredibly important in a diet... Just switch to the brown stuff, which is low GI and high fibre. And High fibre/low GI can work, because it helps making you feel fuller, longer.

Hmm...whatelse.. Stay away from diet products!! Ah, i cant stress that enough!! Sure they are low in energy, but artificial sweeteners are dangerous in the long run, and can cause cancers.. Also they actually make you crave food. So they're a definite no-no- Things that are more closer to natural, or organic foods are probably the best way to go, for a healthier diet... (and also weight loss)

And lastly...if your mother... or who-ever, doesnt see results straight away... don’t panic! Because it will happen, if youre patient and stick to it!
(And please dont fall into one of those FAD diets, which does guarantee quick weight-loss ... (But thats not to say that it actually stays off!)
