If the weight was lost during exercise, then the answer is "D".  If not through exercise, then "C".

Someone told me that is what the LA Weight Loss diet is about.  Getting you to ketosis.  She lost a lot of weight but gained it back.  Now she is doing weight watchers and taking it slow.

i lost my beer gut and gained 15 pounds of muscle when I started riding broncs.  I got my beer gut because I broke my leg on the last bull I rode.  So I drank to dull the pain no pills.  Got fat.  Started riding broncs lost my gut worked hard gained 15 in muscle.  fat weighs more than muscle so for me to say that means hard ridin and hard work.

first of all, it's absurd.  The body is 70% percent water which is found in the organs, skin, tissue and muscle.  The body HAS to have water to function.  What most diets and these silly rituals do is rid the skin first of water.  So of course you lose weight but you're losing the water in your skin.  Your fat's not going anywhere.  Fat is only burned when energy expelled uses it to function.  But it looks to the food sugars first.  The key is to not use pure sugars (or in moderation) so that the body goes to the fat for the energy it needs.  Wrap yourself in saran wrap and you'll end up crinkly and dizzy.  Then as soon as you drink anything, you;re right back to square one.  Think about this, if there was something so revolutionary, WE'D ALL be hearing about it on the news cause someone would become an instant billionaire from marketing it.  Instead, they're becoming billionaires by false advertising cause most people don't want to watch what they eat and excercise.

a study was conducted on rats and what the researchers did was get the rats fat then starve them for a month, they lost weight, then the rats could eat as much as they wanted they got even fatter again, now the researchers starved them and the rats lost weight but not as much as the first time, then again the rats could eat as much as they wanted and then they were starved again, this time the rats didnt lose as much weight and they were heavier. What is going\non?? im not too sure however the fat cells  have a memeory and each time they r starved they remember to store more next time, it has to do with leptin and other responses from the fat cell, but basically u have yo yo dietied and your body is gonna make it harder for you to lose weight and keep it off it does not sound good but im sure if you seek good advice and are patient and change what you previously did good results can be achieved

Um its in your genes, wait until you get a little older, than you'll be asking why does my fat roll move when driving over a bumpy road. It happens to all of us, unless you have tape worms thats eating everything you eat and you dont gain weight. It could be your matabolism burns the food up quicker, lay off of doing too much activities, this also burns up fat,.So needless to say, you have NOT a fat bone in your body.

I just lost 25 lbs. by cutting my fat and calorie intake way down and exercising my butt off, literally.  No easy way to do it that works this well.

Fat is a certain type of tissue filled with water.  So part of it gets sweated or peed out.  It also gets converted to energy and used up.

Unfortunately, we cannot "spot reduce" fat from our bodies. That is, the fat you lose will be lost evenly throughout your body with overall excersize and diet, not just the particular area you are excersizing. I recommend Cardio and diet. Cardio and diet.

how did you lose it? how much did you lose, and how much did you weigh before?\n\nif what you lost was primarily water weight, you probably will gain it back, unfortunately.\n\nif you exercise and cut back on calories and stop, you will gain it back.\n\nbut if you continue, you should be able to maintain your new weight!\n\ngood luck.

Eat less, eat healthy, be aware of what you put in the mouth, exercise, find an exercise that suits you. It is almost impossible to lose in one spot, but if that is where your fat has built up, that is where it will show quickest when you start to lose weight. diets don't work. knowledge and common sense do.

JenniferLynn is wrong. The ingredients in the pill changes your hormone levels and most likely thats why you gained some weight.Your hormone levels will return back to the way they where before you starting taking the pill, but it just takes a little time for it to get out of your system.So YES, you can get back to your old self(exercise or diet to lose the weight) and NO, your body wont store fat easier.

anything white- flour , bread, crackkers, potatoes, and chips\nbreaks down to sugar which breaks down to fat. If your body absorbs the fat it ends up in the stomache, butt, and thighs areas.\ni have noticed that when i did a major elimination on the junk foods i lost a lot of weight in those areas.\n\ninsulin in the body also has a lot to do with how the body breaks down those carbs.\n\ni wish i could it explain it better.

Several studies indicate that the composition of weight loss is more favorable with a diet lower in carbohydrate and higher in either fat or protein. In one recent study, there was similar weight loss after 10 weeks of dieting in overweight women who consumed a diet of 30% protein, 41% carbohydrate, and 19% fat versus a diet that had equal calories consisting of 16% protein, 58% carbohydrate, and 26% fat. However, the higher protein and lower carbohydrate diet resulted in significantly greater loss of fat and retention of lean body mass. In another study, fat loss was greater after 6 months of a high protein diet versus a high carbohydrate diet (both diets were equal in fat). Higher protein intake has also been shown to result in better weight maintenance after weight loss. These are a few of the many studies showing that diets lower in carbohydrate and higher in protein lead to greater fat loss and preservation of lean body mass. Simply substituting some carbohydrates in your diet with a protein shake can lead to beneficial changes in your body composition.

Right, energy is never created nor destroyed, just converted.  Protein is absorbed by the body and absorption increases after excercise (ie weight lifting) for use in muscle building.  But essentially most protein is either used for energy or for basal metabolism (because some amino acids are essential, come from the diet).  The excess goes right through your GI tract and is excreted.  However, high protein high fat diets are meant to be only temporary.  Long term health problems can develop, such as arterioslcerosis.  \n\nSorry to tell you, but the best way to lose weight is reduced caloric intake with a balanced diet (mostly carb, little fat), and increased calorie burning through exercise.  \nThe weight lost through this method tends to stay off, since this is a lifestyle change.  If you eat right and exercise, you will lose fat.

Not yet. If I keep eating the way I am, I will be. I blame my girl cuz she's a good cook, and she feeds me. I HATE cooking, I survived on candy bars and ice cream when we split up a while back, but I wasn't eating much, so I lost 30 lbs despite eating nothing but junk. Now she makes me homemade beans and tortillas, tri tip, good stuff. She always brings my food to me in the livingroom so I don't hafta get off my fat ass to eat. I gained all my weight back, and then some. I see 400 lbs in my future...
