Should say on the box.\n\nEqual amounts of oats and water.  I like to add some raisins to the water.  Boil the water.  Add the oats.  Boil 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.  Add milk.

I think you will be better off eating real food.  I joined a gym three weeks ago.  My first week, I ate only fruits, veggies and a baked chicken breast--no junk, barely any carbs.  I went on the treadmill for 6 miles, burning over 1000 calories each day.  I lost one pound at the end of a week.  I put myself into "starvation" mode, so my body sort of clamped down and held on to the fat cells.\n\nNow I am taking 2 days off from the gym and I have thrown some carbs in my diet.  I lost 2 pounds this week.  It seems counter-intuitive, it seems like if you eat less and exercise more you'll lose more weight, but that isn't the case.  I think you'll find if you have turkey breast sandwich with cheese on whole wheat bread along with a balanced meal, if you eat more, you will actually lose more weight.  Good luck!

Don't eat a lot of sugar, white flour, our starchy foods..and go walking or running. It's the easiest and best diet/excercise of them all!

Wild Oats is based out of Boulder, Colorado.  Being a college town they thrived there.  We lived there and shopped quite a bit.  Very organic, health oriented.  Much like Whole Foods (Whole Paycheck) but not quite as expensive.  Some of the stores are a bit run down (earthy if you know what I mean) but the newer stores are quite nice.  Here is their website for more info. Happy Shopping!!!\nhttp://www.wildoats.com/u/home/

It's good for you if you eat salmon or flax seed oil to get omegas (there is also omega-6). I prefer salmon. Any "additive" of omegas in a product is not enough to be considered beneficial (just like those bogus claims on calcium), so that yogurt with omega-3 is just a marketing gimmick. \n\nIf you eat omegas about 3 times a week, that should be enough. It's true that too much animal products can still increase your cholesterol levels. As for the claims against taking too much, maybe look for articles on Eskimos whose diet consist mainly of salmon. They had survived for thousands of years on this type of food and it would be interesting to know if they had any complications that these research claims suggest.\n\nI hear the best advice for preventative/reduction of heart disease is cardio exercise (4-5x a week for 30 min), stress reduction, and a vegetarian diet.

None. \nSimple foods--whole brown rice, for example, or veggies and the like are recommended. Very little, if any, products containing refined sugars should be eaten. No products containing white flour--the stuff is garbage.\nAnd of course, regular exercise.\nI could go on and on...

They don't work but this does: If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved if you don't have the access. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. If you have access to a gym include boxing and spin classes as well. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 (women) - 1800 (men) and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 (women) - 1500 (men) cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Get them out of your apartment. It works. I'm actually able to only buy healthy foods and only something sweet like 1 or 2x a month. But when my brother brings home a load of cookies...it's hard to resist...adn I hate it. So, the key is, keep them out of the apartment adn have lots of healthy choice to choose from.

If you are looking to lose weight watch white foods. Seriously it works! White bread, white rice, sugar, pasta, milk, potato, and even cheese are all examples of foods that should be eaten in extreme moderation for a dieter. They are high in carbohydrates which are stored as fats in all but the real athletic bodies, heavy, and low in essential nutrients. So it is basically empty calories. Replace these white foods with a brown version. Like wheat bread, brown rice, wheat pasta, yams, and any other healthier options I didn'tt hink of. The brown version is full of whole grains, fiber (great for dieting!) and less calories. There is a ton more I could load you down with about dieting, but I though I would keep it simple for you. Feel free to e-mail me if you want more info.

I'm 29, and have always had a hard time. I have found that the easiest and most effective thing is to eat small amounts, several times a day. I don't even eat healthy all the time...I keep things like nuts, string cheese, summer sausage, etc...around, and just make myself eat something every couple of hours. I avoid fast food as much as possible, and when I do eat it, I order a kid's meal to help with portion control. When I sit down to a regular meal, I always take 1/2 of what I think I want, wait about 20 min., and then judge if I NEED more or not. The other big key is water...AT LEAST 8 servings a day, and more is better. NO regular pop. The fact that you are already in the habit of walking is great as well. Keep doing that, but maybe use a timer and try to go a little farther each day within your 30 min. That will increase your pace without taking more time. I hope this helps. I know how frustrating it is to try and do work and school at the same time, and still struggle to find time for housework and taking care of yourself...which always seems to end up the lowest priority. :)

A dozen eggs, a splash of milk and a couple of NY strips, blend well and chug it down. It doesn't taste very good, but it is loaded with protein. Seriously, you can buy powdered protein from a health food store and mix it into most drinks you would like better. I would stick with milk and two eggs, a favorite yogurt and maybe a banana for balance. Adding some flax seed or wheat germ will give you some good fiber and won't change the flavor or consistancy enough to matter.

You get a small amount of benefit from whole, cooked flax. Mostly it is undigestible fiber, which acts to keep the bowels moving.\n\nThe best way to use flax is to grind it fresh daily. It's a lot of bother and you must establish a routine or you won't do it. Most people get good results buying an inexpensive coffee bean grinder and keeping it on the counter.\n\nAn easier alternative is to purchase ground flax at your health food store. It will usually be frozen or refrigerated. Sprinkle this on your yogurt, on top of your oatmeal (after it has been cooked, right before you eat it). It has a nutty, pleasant flavor.\n\nThe best way to take flax oil is to purchase a good quality liquid (in the refrigerated case). I like Barlean's because it has high lignan content. Again, it has a nutty flavor but with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Some people like it, some don't. You can hide the bitterness by making salad dressing out of it. Just substitute it for olive oil in your favorite vinaigrette recipe. It must be kept cold and used by the expiration date.\n\nBarlean's also now makes a flax oil capsule. It is harder to digest, very difficult to get a high dose because you have to take so many. But if you just can't handle the oil, don't think you'll keep up the grinding, it is of some benefit to take the soft gel capsules.

Whole wheat bread often times is actually white bread. The FDA allows companies that make whole wheat bread to add a small quantity of whole wheat flour to bleached flour, and they can call it whole wheat bread. \n\nFor example, you can add 10 lbs of whole wheat flour to 90 lbs of bleached flour, and you can legally call the bread whole wheat.\n\nThe ingredients panel will not reveal this information, so you need to look for other ingredients like added sugars and salts, which usually indicates blended flour breads.\n\nWhole grain bread, on the other hand, is often times sold as 7-grain or 12-grain bread, or something similar like that.\n\nWhole grain bread should have a very small ingredient panel, and, as a general rule, if you can visually see the grains in the bread, then it is a good bet that you are eating an unprocessed/minimally processed whole grain bread. \n\nWhole grain bread is a low-glycemic index carbohydrate, which means your stomach will take more time digesting it, which means you will feel full longer.\n\nAlso, whole grain breads are a rich source of B Complex vitamins, which aid with digestion and mental focus, both key elements to successful weight loss and portion control.\n\nWhole grain breads are the way to go for weight loss and better health overall.\n\nGood luck with your health goals and keep asking questions and seeking out people who will support you.

I know you won't like this but if you try it out for a week you will be glad you did. Get up early and run for 30 minutes before work. I know it is so hard to get out of bed to run but if you make yourslef do it for 5 days in a row you will find that you have more energy all day and you will feel so great throughout the entire day like you really accomplished something. The second week will be way easier and you may even find yourself looking forward to it. During my morning run I think of everything positive in my life and my goals. I feel so impowered like I can conqure anything. That is a great way to stat your day. Eat a good dinner the night before with carbs and you won't need to eat breakfast first either. Have breakfst after your run to avoid a side ache. This is also the best way to loose weight without cutting calories. After a week you will really see the difference. In a few weeks you won't beleive how great you look and feel! Best of luck!
