What are the best methods to losing weight while on the pill, and just in general?
pertsoubrette asked:
I’m not overweight, but would LOVE to lose weight, if you get what I am saying. Unfortunately, I must go on the pill. The last time I was on it I gained 10lbs in water weight. When I got off of it, I instantly lost it, but still wasn’t at my weight goal. I wish to lose 10lbs to 20lbs, but am unsure of how exactly to do so without doing something dumb (like starving myself) or overworking myself. I would also like to know how to lose and keep the weight off once I have started the pill.
Any suggestions/comments/diet plans/exercise plans would be marvelous.
Oh yes, before any one thinks I’m a lazy ass, I promise I’m not. I go running when I can and also work at a Sonic where I rollerskate on quads.
Anyway.
Again, anything would be helpful. Thank you. =)

What I’d love to tell every person that wants to lose weight—-YOU KNOW HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT, YOU JUST CAN’T GET OFF YOUR FAT A55 AND DO IT!!!!!!!!
i do not know. i am on the pill myself and have gain a bit of weight but i believe this is because i have not kept a good diet. i eat out and late at night. i know this is not good for myself. i am now trying to loose weight hopefully i will succeed. i believe just getting in a good routine of eating healthy and good exercise should do it.
The south beach diet is really good.If fluid weight is a problem talk to your doctor about getting on a fluid pill(forgot the real name)or buy one from a nutrition store.Also do an exercise program 2-3 times a week.
The key to losing weight is diet and exercise. There’s no way around it. You simply have to burn more calories than you consume. You may run occasionally or rollerskate everyday but your body has probably gotten used to it so it’s not treating it like exercise. You’ll have to get to the gym and vary your physical activity so that the weight will come off.
Good luck!
hi
am not sure whats available in the markets…but, this is what i did to lose weight… PLEASE DONT TAKE PILLS… pills are nothing but anorectic agents… they make you feel less hungry… there is no way to loose weight fast… though , sauna , steam and massages help slightly… it has to be combined with diet and excercise… pills are very bad in the long run… can lead to impotency and infertility…
Also… short term diets are no good because , they terribly pull down your body metabolism rate since you dont eat much during that period … Because of this , once you break your diet , you’ll start putting on more weight, the reduced body metabolism will take longer and slower to burn the food you take in…
They also dont work because once you break your diet and start eating normally, you will get back to your normal weight as you might not be cautious as to how many cals you take in per day…
i lost 10 kgs in about 5 months time… i am getting married in august and i desperately needed to loose weight… i was 65 kilos when i started… according to my BMI , i was 10kgs + overweight… i stand 5’2.odd and 65 kilos is grossly overweight…
just dieting wont help like i found out in my case… diet + exercise will do the trick…
i’ll tell you what i did… it worked for me… hope it works for you too
the trick is not to starve but to eat smart
and stay healthy 
what you should cut down :
oil , butter , cheese , margarine , mayonisse , sauces (depends , will get back to that a bit later), chips , crisps, nuts , chocolates , sugar , cola, fizz , areated drinks ,ice creams , chocolate , alcohol , cakes and everything else thats hi – cal… you’ll need to avoid everything thats sweet , oily and sticky… if you are not sure about what foods to avoid… check the net…loads of info available…
vegetables / meat to avoid :
potatoes – very very important , beetroot (its a root and has concenterated sugar in it) , all kinds of roots basically except carrot… avoid lamb, mutton , pork , beef, and prawns… all these put on weight… eat only lean meats… thats fish and chicken.. avoid eating egg yolk… eat just the egg white…
fruits to avoid :
mangoes , bananas , jackfruit
now that we had a look at what foodstuff is to be avoided…you might be wondering if there is anythig at all that you can eat… thats how i felt… there is loads of stuff you can eat actually
here they come
fast foods are a big no no… you can order salads and special lo cal foods that are avaailable in most outlets…
its best to eat at home for the period you are dieting and trying to lose weight…after those few months… once you’ve shed your load…you can get back to your usual lifestyle… of course with some caution…
my diet…
breakfast:
skimmed milk (use skimmmed milk , is low in fat , other typer of milk are higher in fat content) , fruit… i am from India… am not sure where you are from and hence you might not understand certain food types we consume here… but let me tell you something… Indian food is very very oily and very difficult to diet…
and try cereal in the mornings… oats, weetabix… etc… have a good breakfast…alwaays use brown bread… whole wheat brown bread is very good for weight reduction…
for lunch , we are staple rice eaters… rice is bad for fat reduction… but i still took rice because its a habit tht cant be changed… everyone takes rice here… so… rice – one cup – 100gms and lots of veggies cooked in less oil.. and absolutely no coconut and curry with less oil… all in all keep your oil intake to 2 tea spoons everyday… that would be just for seasoning… also using olive oil helps a lot…
then for dinner… compulsarily have wheat… pasta is a good option…but make sure you buy wheat pasta… check before buying… and of course in pasta absolutely no sauces… some varities of sauces are acceptable… as far as they dont have cheese , butter , oil ,mayonisse and fattening substances in general… you can use tomato spicy sauces etc… make sure your sugar intake doesnt cross 2 – 3 spoons per day… (not tablespoons) and no butter and ghee of course… eat a lot of fruits and vegetables… and all kinds of cereal… if you are hungry… eat a fruit… or you can eat stuff like puffed wheat and puffed rice… but no puffed corn… corn products again put on weight…
eat sandwiches as much as possible… i dont know which part of the world you are from and hence cant suggest much for you in terms of recepies…
and combined with dieting… you need to excercise for atleast an hour everyday… you’ll see the difference…defenitely… if you think gym is boring… take up dance classes… or run along the beach… if you have one… or skate… or just about any physical activity… brisk walking will also help…
the key is to stay healthy while you diet and lose weight…
drink loads of water…atleast 6 glasses per day… and do a lot of physical activity…. take the stairwy instead of the lift…. and small things like that…
and good luck 
its not difficult…you’ll get used to it in a few days… and of course the results are fab:) who doesnt want a great looking body…
if you have any more queries…mail me… cheers
you can get back to your normal lifestyle once you slim down… after that… its just eating what you like and burning it out the next day with just a little bit of excercise
also check your weight everyday… its a great way to motivate and monitor your progres
