Very Green Tea

I weigh 170 lbs and want to get down to at least 150. I am 25 yrs old, have had three kids, the last one 2 years ago. I walk 2 miles every morning, do Tae-Bo three/four times a week and change that up by switching nights/mornings also alternating between the bootcamp, ultimate abs, cardio, etc.
I eat really well, I never go over 1200 calories, I don't think I could if I tried. I eat fresh fruits and veggies every day, hardly ever red meat, mostly chicken, turkey, and pork. I usually eat eggs for breakfast. I drink a couple glasses of grapefruit juice a day too or eat a half of g.f. I cannot be retaining water because I seriously drink like 2 gallons of water a day, sometimes a diet snapple and I pee like once every half hour. I take green tea pills, but that is mostly for energy because I have 3 little kids.
I have only lose 4 lbs. in two months! It is really depressing, don't know what to do next
That probably sounds like a lot of water, but I don't go overboard to drink it on purpose, if I didn't I'd be dying of thirst all day long. I have always been drinking a lot like this, since I was a kid, and no I do not have diabetes. My two year old daughter is the same way. She will empty an entire sippy cup in less than five minutes.

Get Lean with the Magnetic Diet Seven Step Plan

Combined with strength conditioning, energization exercises, pranayama life force control and meditation the magnetic diet seven step plan will when followed guarantee that you achieve a low level of body fat in a predetermined period of time. Ultimate leanness is defined as single digit body fat percentages for men and low teen body fat percentages for women. This is the level of body fat necessary if you want to be able to actually see the definition of your abdominal muscles. The magnet diet in combination with the right amount of physical activity will create the necessary calorie deficit to achieve ultimate leanness. The time it takes for you to achieve that will of course depend on how much fat you have to lose.

For example, if you currently weigh 200 pounds and are at 23% body fat and your goal is to be at 9% body fat you have about 25 pounds of fat to loose. To loose 25 pounds of fat while maintaining or even gaining muscle should take you approximately 6 to 7 months. You can lose 25 pounds in a much quicker time frame, but will it be 25 pounds of fat? No it will not, remember when you lose weight too quickly much of the weight lost can end up being muscle. And as we learned earlier if you lose muscle you will create the condition for a boomerang weight gain of fat down the road. Now 6 to 7 months may sound like a long time but in reality its not. In our society we want everything quick and easy, but the truth is that nothing worth having comes quick or easy. 6 to 7 months of your life will pass by no matter what you do, you cannot stop time. But by following the magnetic diet seven step success plan the difference will be that 6 to 7 months from the time you start you will have achieved your goal, you will have attained your desired body fat percentage, you will look great and most important of all you will have achieved a very high level of health and vitality. Remember the goal is to lose fat and maintain or even gain muscle so losing the fat slowly is the way. Here is the plan:

Step 1.

Determine your current body fat percentage

Get your body fat measured by a personal trainer or health professional, or purchase Tanita body composition monitor or other similar device.

Step 2.

Decide on a goal body fat percentage:

What’s it going to be 15%, 10%, 5%? They are all achievable, you just have to decide. Once you have decided then calculate the amount of fat that you will have to lose. Take you current body fat percentage minus the goal body fat percentage and convert that to a decimal value add 1 and divide your current weight by that amount. The difference between the result and your current weight is the number of pounds of fat you need to lose. For example a 200 pound person at a 23% body fat who wants to achieve a 9% body fat would do the following:

23 percent minus 9 percent = 14 percent
14 percent = .14
.14 +1 = 1.14
200 pounds divided by 1.14 = 175 pounds
200 – 175 = 25 pounds of fat to lose

Step 3.

Determine your current resting metabolic rate

Determine your current resting metabolic rate using the formulas on page 112.

Step 4.

Determine your maximum daily caloric intake

Remember you want to create a calorie per day deficit so maximum daily caloric intake is equal to your resting metabolic rate plus any additional physical activity as measured in calories minus 500 calories.

Use this as a tool: http://www.magnetic-diet.com/calc/daily_calorie_calculator.htm

Step 5.

Adjust the diet using portion sizes and snacks

Adjust the portion sizes slightly in the main meals or add or subtract snack portions to get to the maximum daily caloric intake.

Step 6

Determine the length of time to achieve your goal

The amount of fat you need to lose divided by a pound a week = the number of weeks it will take to achieve your goal.

Step 7

Follow the Magnetic Diet Seven Day Success Plan Not only will it result in your achieving your goal but it will ensure life long health and vitality. Adjust your caloric intake and activity level as your weight drops. Remember as your body weight drops so do your caloric needs. You must reduce your caloric intake or you will reach a plateau.

Hi i was wondering if this helps you or not. Its the Mega t. And the reason I am asking is because I really need to lose weight and i have tired the gym,It dose NOT help me.So please click the link below and tell me. Thanks(;
http://www.americanlifestyle.com/products/ACF8C91.jpg

If the gym "doesn't help" you, I'd suggest that you examine your diet. Without the propper nutrition, it'll be pretttty hard to lose weight, and actually keep it off.

Also. Seriously, don't fall for that tea. Have you not heard of the thousands of other weight loss 'products' that claim they're the best, and yet don't really do anything/have possibly terrible side affects?

I doubt the tea would harm you, but it's not just going to make you lose weight.
If you change your eating habits (and still have enough calories to live. don't starve yourself), by having more lean proteins, grains, and lots of vegetables + fruits, and then go to the gym, you'll likely have even more evengy to workout. Keep in mind that having more than your needed intake of fat will make you quite fatigued, as well. That, making it harder to go to the gym, and so the gym wouldn't be as effective.

Of course, I know nothing about your personal died. These are just suggestions, because I want you to be healthy.
Heck, I want everyone to be healthy.
I just wish that these stupid commercial weight loss product things would stop popping up, and people would spend more time working to inform people of how to truely eat/exercise well.

So please.
Before you consider buying that, or anything else that says it'll make you lose weight, definitely look into it. Research the ingredients. And make sure that there is NOTHING harmful in it.
It won't really help you lose weight anyway, but at least that way you'll know what exactly you're putting into your body.

Fat burners do not work unless your diet is perfect and you train 4-6 days a week.
DO NOT TAKE THEM UNLESS YOU'RE DOING AS ABOVE

my short story…..

maternal family history….diabetes, cancers of many sorts(young siblings n old relatives), glaucoma, weak kidney, extreme ecxema, n a few other things.

paternal history…possible digestion problems bc some have acne/skin problems. dad finally died of a heart attack, his sisters/siblings/cousins died of the same thing.
they were all young, dad was only 42.
my sister is 47 n has had congenital heart disease for years. she is in a wheelchair, on oxygen, n got a defibrillator implant last year.

over the last few years i have had off and on high blood pressure. it was minor and i did not always need medication. i have had small symptoms of heart trouble for about 10 years. it never prevented me from doing anything and no doctor gave me any medications. about 10 years ago i noticed shortness of breath w the stair climbing, so i lost weight to accomodate. i have an extremely small frame so i went from what looked like average to skinny. that helped a lot. i did not associate the shortness of breath w anything else. there were bouts w stress and i lived in a house that poisoned me w various pollutions. the gase hot water heater was never properly hooked up and the vents were never properly cleaned. i breathed that for almost 15 years before i figured it out. i am sure that had something to do w my deterioration.

early last year i had strange things like small tightness in the jaw joint from time to time and the throat closing like a suffication/choking. i had to concentrate to squeeze down air. i never knew how to quite explain that but the doctors dismissed it. once i was eating and suddenly could not swallow no matter how hard i concentrated.

last year i went to a heart specialist w pain in my left arm. the office was horrible. they depended solely on a stress test but they could nt get the wires hooked up right. plus some girl was in training and did not know what she was doing. the supervisor came in to help but she was no better. when the visit was over i was upset because they told me nothing was wrong. just come back next year. i tried to convince them otherwise but i did not do a good job. i did not think to go to another specialist. months went by. eventually i walked down my hallway and suddenly out of the blue felt nauseous then faint. i did not faint, but since i did not know what it was i was puzzled with the episode.

about june i started to have serious shortness of breath and problems w high blood pressure. my doctor left the country and i did not find a replacement. i had daily headaches n it seems that i had them so bad it could have been a small stroke. maybe i am paranoid, but something did go wrong. the doctors have no idea what i describe to them. i am gettting upset just thinking about it but no one took this seriously so i trusted them and thought i was in better shape than i really was.

with horrific stress, divorce, job problems, financial difficulty (the usual stress killers), etc. i find that i have symptoms that i have never encountered before. pressure/light tightness from head to toe on the left side. turned to burning on the left side. flushed cheeks. dull tingling/numbness of the lower face/tongue/lips, dizziness and uncontrolled hbp. the numbers range from the low 100's to 160+. before it was far over that. when all this started the numbers were only about 125 and i thought that was horrible. it changes from minute to minute even with a stronger medication. the dull pain in my arm moved up to near my armpit then it moved to the left side of my upper chest. i try to keep it as low as possible by drinking hot tea or soup. it drops a few points (ie: from 160 to 140) but i can not seem to keep it under 140. excercise does not seem to help. my heart pounds excessively and has done so for about 4 months. it does not matter if the pressure rate is down or not.

all i take is hbp medicine and vitamins one time each day. i saw a new heart specialist who is just having me wait for testing. while i wait, i made an appointment w a 3rd heart specialist. in the meantime i asked my existing doctor (2nd) what can be done n i was told to go the ER. no thanks. the bill used to be only 50.00 for ER but now the visits are now close to 1k with insurance. the health care system i am in told me that the doctors don't contract with them anymore. after insurance, i still have a large bill.

so here i am asking you what i can do to keep my hbp under control and to prevent a heart attack and stroke. i am about 50 years old, female, over 5feet 7inches tall, small/skinny frame and i could not take any more medical/financial trauma. i never smoked/drank or did drugs but i find myself taking tylenol every day for the headaches. i never like junk food. as a baby my favorite foods were vegetables. i dont eat a perfect diet becasue of the high food prices. my kitchen has poultry, canned leafy greens, canned beans, canned tuna, canned beets, rice, dried

This clinic has a great reputation:

There is so much conflicting information out there about this and I'm just trying to figure out what's best. I like a warm cup of coffee or tea in the morning with my breakfast and later in the day after dinner. I'm talking about two cups a day max. I know there are links to green tea and birth defects if consumed in large doses. However, if I were to drink no more than two cups per day what would be the healthiest choice while TTC and pregnant?

The only thing that I have heard is to generally stay away from herbal anything. So if green tea is herbal tea, you may want to stick to the black tea.

I am trying to lose some tummy weight.
my sister told me how our cousin drank green tea and lost weight in a couple months.
is it true it helps you lose weight?
and i hear it makes you go number two alot??
thankss

Well…
It does speed up your metabolism slightly. If you drink 8 cups a day, you can lose around 80 calories. Lots of people don't think that's true though.

But come one, if you want to lose weight, you can't just drink green tea. Eat healthier, and exercise.
