Is it easier to lose weight by eating prepackaged dinners such as healthy choice?

If you are watching your "fat gram" intake --- yeah, it's a pretty good way.   (portion wise)\n   Also you can check fat grams on EVERYTHING -- and just eat the 'one serving' amt..\n\n    Example would be that bread is usually 1-2 grams per slice --- pkg ham (usually 1gr.) or fat free bologna --- they make fat free cheese or low cholesterol cheese with only 2-3 grams of fat --- (add mustard, not mayo unless fat free) lettuce, tomato and you will fill up on a sandwich for the same amt of fat grams in a Healthy Choice Dinner.\n\n     But there are SO many diff. diets and prepkg'd food pertaining to ---- so you really have to watch..\n\nWhatever you choose (based on your health)\nfat grams\ncarbs\ncalories\n   (just don't over due --- you'll find decent frozen meals to eat and actually WILL lose weight)

It depends upon what else you are eating in the day. But this is a terrible menu plan nonetheless. There are better ways to increase weight in any case. Consult a doctor for information on how to lose weight.

fresh is better of course\n\n\nAfter trying for 10 years. I finally lost 150+ lbs (12 stone) and kept it off for over 3 years now. I am now in amazing health, all around, not just thinner.\n\nI did it without medicine, workouts, religion, going hungry or hating my food and without an operation or secret formula. I had tried counting: calories; carbs; fat; etc. I had tried jogging, swimming, weights,  aerobics, crazy medicines and starving! But nothing ever worked well or lasted very long.\n\nI also had Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, Chronic Asthma, vision and hearing loss. constant colds and ills, annual flu or pneumonia and more. I was approved for bypass surgery and  taking usually between 16 and 20 pills a day.\n\ntake a look at my before and after pictures...\n---------------------------------------------------------------\nI'm Chris...\nhttp://www.fromsadtoraw.com/Journals/Chris/Pictures/RawPictures.htm\n\nhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/personalgrowthnow/album?.dir=/bfa5&.src=ph&.tok=ph1YNpEBJB8qTLBg\n\nmore info:\nhttp://www.thelighthousewebworld.com/raw.htm

I think losing weight is always an easy decision to make but a tough action to follow through. \n\nYour family, in this time is going to be your rock and support and don't feel ashamed that you have to ask them to help too. By turning some critical triggers in your lifestyle you can lose that 30kg. \n\nDiet is an important aspect of weight loss. The essence of weight loss is that you burn more calories then you actually intake. You do not have to lessen the amount you eat, often its just the type of food and liquids we consume that can make a difference.\n\nInstead of driving to work, perhaps take public transport and walk to the station and to work etc...\n\nExercise should not consume your life...but should be a healthy balance. Use the time you spend with your children to do exercise as well. You said that you can't keep up with them...perhaps you can got for walks, slow jogs with them...invent games around a healthy lifestyle. \n\nThere are lot of diet websites out there...which are a good start...however self motivation is what is going to really determine whether you lose that 30kg

Gastric bypass surgery without changes in lifestyle will expose you to unnessary risks associated with the procedure and will ultimately NOT be successful in helping you to get healthy and fit.\n\nConsult your doctor before you start any diet and exercise regimens. \n\nWhat I do:\nI incorporate more fruit into my diet. Simply, I eat an apple before my lunch and before my dinner. That way I'm less likely to eat more fattening substances and I'm also less likely to snack between meals. The fiber in apples is also great for helping your body to flush fat and toxins out of your body. \n\nI also eat a salad with lunch and with dinner. The salad does many of the same things that the apple does. However, I DON'T use fatty dressings like bleu cheese. I DO use in moderation Italian dressings and vinegrettes as they contain monosaturate oils which are the good fats your body needs...and they taste infinitely better than the highly processed so-called low fat dressings. \n\nI eat vegetables. Find some green veges that you like  and make those a part of your meals. \n\nLean meats are excellent for protein while being low in fat.\n\nI tend not to snack as I'm full from my meals. If I do snack, I try to make it something healthy like maybe carrots and low fat dip, or fruit. \n\nConsult your doctor before beginning to exercise. Any weight loss program that does NOT include exercise is DOOMED TO FAIL.\nYou have to get your body moving. Find things you can do that you enjoy doing, and that you can do even on those days when you just have to grit your teeth and do it.\n\nAlso, don't pay so much attention to your scale. If you are exercising, you may build some muscle...which actually will make you weigh heavier on the scale(Muscle weighs more than fat.). Forget the scale. Focus instead on things like: how do I feel? how do I look? Can I get into clothes that I couldn't before? That kind of thing.\n\nFinally, be patient and forgiving. You didn't get overweight overnight, it took time. And, it will take time to get to the size you want to be. And, be forgiving: you will "fall off the wagon." Forgive yourself and get back on the wagon as quickly as you can. It's not a failure to slip up; it's only a failure if you give up. \n\nGood luck. You can be the person you want to be in the body you want to have. I would suggest you try non-surgical methods of change before you attempt surgical means. However, I reiterate: if you do choose surgery, your success will depend greatly upon your willingness to change your lifestyle for the better.

Eat less and move more

yes and let me give u some reasons why : 1. more unsaturated fats 2. catechin, epigalocatechin, omega phospholipids and other antioxidants 3. tocopherols and vit E 4. phosphorus, iron, zinc,iodine, trace elements 5. rich protein..all in a package of really low calories kind of food..as for the rest...  mildly cooked > raw or well done, steam > soup >>>fried(avoid fried food)  saltwater(bigger variety in food chain) > freshwater

Of course it is going to make you healthier but you need to change your whole diet around to lose weight like:eat foods that are going to make you full but do not have alot of fat in them.And you also need to exersize daily at least 30min.a day

Yes and no.\n\nI wouldn't recommend eating only this. Having a healthy balanced diet is only good for your health. Try exercising too. Look at a food guide and take from different food groups. Stay away from sugars and bad carbohydrates. Split your protein intake with grains and vegetables.\n\nDon't just eat special K and kiwi's, because you will lose the weight, but you'll screw your health over because you're not getting enough nutrients in your system. \n\nBalance is the key word.\n\nEat good and work out!

That depends on your terminology.\n\nGenerally speaking, "safe" and healthy diets are ones that promote that you:\n\n1) Don't starve yourself\n\nThis is because you NEED to eat to lose weight, and especially to lose fat.\n\n2) Lose up to, but not more than, 2 pounds per week\n\nTrying to lose more than this is considered unsafe because you can get into that area where you're starving your body (See #1).\n\n3) Promote exercise\n\nBeing active is one of the only ways to build muscle and help keep the weight off.

Sure. That is easy.  I cut out all sugar, white flour, anything with corn syrup,  and ALL processed foods!  I lost 30 lbs. eating this way without exercise.  Taking care of kids all day, and cleaning house is exhausting enough! If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it.  This will force you to eat VERY healthy, and the weight will fly off! You don't have to count calories.  Just eat when you are hungry.  Increase your dairy intake (studies have shown that it helps burn fat).  Important tip:  Shop only on the OUTER rim of the supermarket!  Switch to organic foods whenever possible.  This will help your body get rid of toxins.  You'll look better, feel healthier, AND lose weight!

With all the excercising you are doing, this should make it easy. When I was trying to lose weight, I cut down the portions that I was eating. Here are some things I followed. Eat 3 meals a day. I ate a scrambled egg, a piece of toast, a glass of skim milk or juice, and a nice fruit salad for breakfast. For other meals, I would use these portions to make my meals 3oz. of meat, 1 cup of veggies, 3 oz. of pasta, or 1TBLS of rice. There are many others too. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but with each meal, I would eat a nice size salad, some fruit, and some milk, juice, or water. I was actually surprised as to how much food I was eating. If you want more info, you can IM me: Shaggydoo0243\nI will be happy to give you more info.

There is no evidence currently that any food alters your metabolic rate sufficiently to be useful in promoting weight loss.\nLook at the second article in the link below:

If you use it in moderation, then yes it is better.\nHave you checked out the calories in the mcdonalds' salads?  The caloric and fat content is really high for some of them.\nSome dressings are really fattening.

Sure you can, but it is not healthy. You can lose weight by eating only candy, but you don't want to. Not only do they have vitamins and minerals you can't find in other foods, they are a very good source of fiber. \n\nSo eat your veggies!

No..if you really want to lose weight you got to excerise and eat healthy like for example: whole wheat breads and pastas, eat lots of fruits and vegetables, chicken and turkey are very good for you and drink lots of water at least 8 glasses a day..Stay away from junk foods and fast foods

Well obviously, that's what a healthy diet consists of.  They can also suggest recipes that are appealing to you and exactly which fuits, veggies, meats, fishes, etc are the best for your body type and your weight/health goals.  There's more to it than just eating the right foods.  Portions are very important as well.  If you can't afford a dietician, then just eating the good foods is a great way to start.
