Losing some weight before the summer?

January 7th, 2011 admin

Watch this great video about weight loss

Listen to Jeff explain the safe and easy way to burn fat and lose weight

Pritikin Recipes

I’m a 15 yrs old male, 5’11, and weigh about 170. Although I don’t look fat, I don’t feel comfortable with this weight. I currently weight lift in my basement and just recently started to jump rope. When it’s warmer outside I’ll start running too. My mom usually cooks healthy meals, but she gives me a rather large proportion. She insists that I should eat a lot but what she feeds me is sometimes ridiculous. Does anyone have any dieting tips or exercise plans for me?

Is this a promising diet (thanks!)?

December 31st, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

Will I loose weight if i combine this diet w/ exercise (30 minutes of medium-intensity cardio every day):

Meal #1 (Breakfast): 2 whole scrambled eggs w/ veggies (mushrooms, onion, tomato, spinach, cilantro, etc.), 2 corn tortillas, or kidney beans. -Cooked with EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, seasoned with salt & pepper.
Meal #2 (Snack): Small bowl of mixed, cut fruit (strawberries, melon, purple grapes)
Meal #3 (Snack): Small bowl of Salad [seasoned w/ lemon & salt] OR veggies [seasoned w/ lemon & salt] (cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, tomato = salad, other veggies consumed include broccoli & spinach)
Meal #4 (Snack): Small bowl of mixed, cut fruit (nectarine, apple, orange)
Meal #5 (Snack): Light & Fit Strawberry Yogurt (80 cal.) w/ handful of raisins + 4 prunes.
Meal #6 (Dinner): HOME COOKED WITH CANOLA OIL: This meal usually includes veggies, white potato, kidney beans & about 3 corn tortillas. Plus, I eat red meat once a week, chicken regularly, and fish occasionally. No junk food (sweets, refined sugars, etc.), bread, or grains, except occasionally I will eat white pasta, white rice, and cheese. I limit dairy consumption to occasional cheese, and daily yogurt.

Is this diet beneficial? Any tips or advice (please)?
Also, how can I incorporate a few occasional "treats" (junk food)?
All answers & tips appreciated. Thanks & have a great day!

(:

Pritikin Recipes

My boyfriend of the past 8 months is diabetic and has been for 20 years. I am not in charge of the food we eat as I do all the cooking. I try to cook as healthy as possible … but need some tips on what is good and or bad for him. I do as much low fat good as possible … I try to find sugar free recipes for cakes and cookies – but has a real hard time finding them or the ingredients … where do you shop to get these things.

He wont eat it if it is boring and I dont think it should be … there has to be some hidden secret that I dont know about … on where to find good sugar free ingredients ?

What types of diet plans do you or someone you love follow.
I just want to make sure I am helping him with his condition …

There has to be more I can do with what I feed us ?

Please any help or suggestions is REALLY needed. Thank You.

Pritikin Recipes

I have been trying to get back into shape and eat healthier, but money has been really tight lately and I can’t afford to always by fresh fruits and veggies, and other expensive health foods. All i have been eating lately is pasta, hamburger helpers, canned food, pizza, cereal, and basically anything easy and cheap. It is not a very healthy diet and it make it hard to lose Weight, and I probably do not get any nutrients from this current diet. I would like to know if anyone has any tips on how to improve my diet without going broke. I usually cook for two.

I have a 13 year old Labrador who has a lot of health problems. What is the best diet for her?

December 18th, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

I just inherited her a few days ago. She spent 9 days in the house alone before anybody found her and she lost 20lb. But she is still over weight. Her owner fed her a lot of people food, and I’m have problems feeding her dog food. She can’t seem to eat kibble, and she won’t eat most wet foods. I want her to have a healthy diet so I’m going to start cooking her meat and veggies. Any tips on which would be the best for her, or any vitamins I should be adding into the food?

She has joint problems(we have medications for that) and has very weak legs. Can’t stand up on her own, but once she is up she can walk. I’ve been taking her on short walks and she’s been improving, I don’t have to lift her up the step to the house any more. And on top of that she has skin problems. She’ll bites at one spot specifically and it’s balled from it. I want to make sure she is happy and healthy.

Simple diet??????

December 9th, 2010 admin

Pritikin Recipes

Hello. I am trying to get my body into shape. I have an hourglass figure and I am not overweight, but I would like to tone up. I do cardio and strength training 3 – 4 times a week. But the little pudge on my lower abs will NOT disappear. I think its because I need to incorporate a "diet" into my life style. Does anyone have any tips on a simple diet? I don’t want to hear about those diets that require me to cook a TON of food…all extravagant and stuff…I’m not a good cook at all haha
