What diet tips do you have for a young woman trying to lose weight?


I highly recommend cutting out all grains, processed foods, sugar, dairy and soy products. Most people don't realize they are allergic and they can cause a lot of issues including inflammation, digestion issues and other food allergies. Google Paleo diets: grass fed meats, good fats, lots of fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds. Because we are all sugar addicts it takes a while for your body to adjust, but once it does, you will not only lose weight but feel energetic and cut your risk of getting a metabolic syndrome.
10 Fast Weight Lost Diets Tips
1. Replace Sports Drinks after Exercise – Drink“electrolyte” water to receive the same benefits you would from a sugary sports drink—without the added sugar.
2. Water First – Drink a large glass of water 10 minutes before meals.
3. Sleight of Hand – Trick your mind. Use smaller plates when you eat and you will be reducing portion sizes and calories.
4. Slow Down – Eat slower. Put your fork down in between bites.
5. Chew Well – Digestion starts in the mouth, and if you don’‘t fully digest your food, you miss out on some of the nutritional value.
6. Leave Behind the Multitasking – When it’‘s time to eat, sit at the table and eat. You will eat less if you concentrate your energy on eating slowly and purposefully.
7. Not So Fast – After you eat, wait at least 10 minutes before thinking about second helpings. Routinely waiting 10 minutes will help you differentiate between not hungry and full.
8. Closed for the Night – Close the kitchen early so that you aren’‘t tempted to snack in the evenings.
9. Treats and Cheats – When the urge strikes to cheat and nothing else will do, make your cheat-treat from scratch.
10. Healthy Cheats – According to Dr. Andrew Weil, plain dark chocolate, used sparingly is the only healthy sweet.

first of all i'd like to know how much she wants to lose...because part of being good at what you do is helping people have a good body image no matter what they look like....so that being said i usually advise cutting down portion sizes first then trying to modify what you eat later....cutting back is often easier than cutting out.... and don't deny yourself things at first....just cut down the amount....gradually doing this i believe makes it easier to begin to cut certain things out of your diet....

Weight loss boils down to calories in and calories out. I always tell my clients to keep a food journal, measure out their meals and write everything down. I am also realistic and realize that my clients want to live and have fun so I never suggest cutting anything out....just eat the bad stuff once in a while and account for it in your food log and eat the good stuff all the time. To burn 1 lb a week there needs to be a 500 calorie a day deficit created through diet and exercise and for 2lbs a week a 1000 calorie deficit a day. Normal weight loss is 1-2 lbs a week. Lastly, it's important to make a lifestyle change vs dieting.....dieting is only a temporary fix, if you can't see yourself doing it forever...it's not going to work.

I don't know know much weight you have to lose so I am responding to this question as if weight loss is your goal.

If this is your goal I would really encourage you to try your best to identify specific actions and behaviors that are likely sabotaging your weight loss goals. I would then help you to brainstorm ideas in order to change the behaviors and actions you've identified to positive health-promoting behaviors.

Lasty, I would help you set goals that are

1. Specific - Answer who, what why, where, what and how?
2. Measurable -
3. Attainable - Is your goal to abitious
4. Relevant - Is the goal relevant enough to keep you motivated?
5. Time-bound - when will it be accomplished?

We called these SMART goals.

It's important to know that goals such as weight loss begin in your mind. If you do a self assessment and really determine why you want to lose and are committed, confident and ready to do so, you will reach your goal.
Right off the bat, I have several questions:

-Define "young" i.e., teens, 20's, 30's?
-WHY does she want to lose weight?
-Does she NEED to lose weight?
-What is her typical daily caloric intake?
-Does she eat regular meals or is she a grazer?
-Does she follow a balanced, healthful diet? (whole grains, fruits & veggies, high fibre, decent protein, water, etc..)
-What is her typical daily physical activity pattern?
-Does she have any significant health or personal issues that would impact this decision or process?

My bottom line is this: I would have to talk with her, in person, before I could even begin to offer any specific personal advice.

My first response to diet questions is to have the person keep a food diary for a week. (They should be encouraged to eat normally and not get down on themselves.) They should log what they eat and when they eat.

Part two is, we look at the log... then we talk about organizing the eating. Many times this helps people a lot. Are they eating a balanced diet? How many calories are they drinking? Do they wait too long between meals?

We then set out goals of how to get the eating organized. Plan your eating by the week, not the second. Do they need to eat more fruits and veggies? Do they need more water? Can they create mid-day snacks that have the desired taste with less calories?

If people want group help, I suggest they try the Weight Watchers program, since there is an online version.
