Patient discussion about loose.

Q. I tried many medicines and diet control to loose my weight but in vain. I am James Antony, 5 ft tall and 85kgs. I feel too heavy to walk. I tried many medicines and diet control to loose my weight but in vain. What Is The Key To Successful Weight Loss?

A. the key is that there is no key. just get up and move around. try to add some new form of activity to your life each day. stay active. as far as eating is concerned, eat as much natural foods as possible. fruits, veggies, some chicken. its a live long change that you need to make, there is no overnight magic pill.

i find that support groups (online and off) work well for me.

Q. is there a fast and healthy way to loose weight? my sister is getting married 2 months from now and I want to loose about 20 lb. until then. How do I pull it off?

A. I think that the key to weight loss is not so much as dieting but taking control over what and how much you eat. I eat at least six times a day, thats four meals and two snacks. The protions that i eat however are not that big. I mostly just eat until I'm full or just satisfied. I really dont excercise either except for walking and I have lost 55 pounds over about a 3 or 4 month period. I LOVE food and the few diets that i did try didnt work, either because I was still hungry or I just didnt stick to them long enough to see results. I don't know if this works for everyone, but it worked for me. I think this worked because eating six meals a day kept my metabolism running almost constantly, so i ended up burning more calories than i took in. This may not take the weight off fast, but it can help you lose weight and keep it off. Hope this helps.

Q. do people who suffer from arthritis tend to loose weight? why does it happen if the two are in fact related?

A. hmmm...no- i didn't say that. people who lose weight can have an arthritis but i would look for an illness that can cause both joint pain and weight loss. here is something that might give you a clue of some illnesses that have them both:
