I don’t know much about the Ozzy diet but one thing was very noticeable, all their signed walks, beauty spots, etc had free parking to encourage Australians to exercise, here in England there is always someone with a ticket machine or a bloody robot to collect the cash and penalties if your don’t pay.

Good Australian pragmatism!

Eat Clean!
In a nutshell, it’s high quality lean protein always combined with carb. No pills, no supplements, no products to buy! But stay away from packaged, processed food which contains things you don’t need. It has been developped based on athletic people needs.

As a rule of thumb: If it didn’t grow like that, don’t eat it.

It’s not a low carb diet but a good quality food diet and the energy you get from eating clean is just fantastic because your body does not stall with the chemicals it would normally process with canned, frozen, over processed food.

Lots of veggies and fruits!

You eat 6 small meals per day, which keeps you satisfied all day and keeps the furnace burning!

Another very good option is Global Fitness, which gives you a meal plan based on your specifics and it’s for active people.
Good luck!

Pete Genot answers:

If you want a basic diet, you can follow the USDA food pyramid. Just be sure to make healthy choices for starches and fats.

If you’re not overweight, then what you’re doing now is working for you. Switch out “whites” like rice & bread, for whole grain versions when you can.

Focus fats more on the healthy variety like olive oil, avocados, peanut oil and even smaller amount of real butter (not margarine).

Good job taking control of your food choices for 2007!

Get organic peanut butter. Its better to get one from a health food store because there are less chemicals in it.

Try dipping apples in it for a snack, delicious!

It’s too hard just to give you a list of healthy foods, there are way too many.

This site gives you the healthiest foods, and why they are healthy. Just look up any healthy food or browse around.

Pete Genot answers:

Healthy foods are those that are provided by mother nature and not made by man. Animal proteins like eggs, fish, meat, poultry, pork, fruits, veggies, complex carbohydrates like whole oatmeal, beans, whole grain rice, lentils, potatoes, yams and assorted nuts and seeds. Basically all foods provided by mother nature are healthy when consumed in reasonable servings sizes. The less processed foods in your diet the healthier you will be.

Bagels are heavily processed carbohydrates and are caloric dense. They are surely not healthy and should be consumed in minimal amounts. When it comes to carbohydrates if it dissolves in the mouth with out having to be chewed that tells you that it’s heavily processed and not very good for you. Healthy foods do not dissolve in the mouth.

Pete Genot answers:

Add snacks in between the meals, when trying to eat healthy, 6 meals > 3 because it keeps your metabolism moving. Make the snacks fruit, yogurt, almonds, bowl of cereal, etc. You should probably eat a little bit more (especially at breakfast) if you’re skinny/average weight.

I find when I eat many small meals (6-7/day), I tend to eat less calories, maybe you could try that? I’ll do that once in a while (we’re exactly the same age, height, and weight, btw, and I run XC… Isn’t that weird? ), but then I just feel so gross that I won’t do it for months again. Maybe keep a food diary?- for me, at least, its harder to go eat a bowl of melon, frozen grapes, a Luna bar, a bowl of cereal, pasta, and celery, all at once, if I know I’m going to have to write it all down.

Pete Genot answers:

Pete Genot answers:

Thank you for being smart about it! Instead of listing a bunch of information here i thin kyou would be better off purchasing the book: “the eat clean diet” by tosca reno. Its not a diet at all don’t worry. She teaches you how to eat healthy without feeling like you are depriving your body of food. She also talks about exercise and includes easy recipes inside her book. She also has a cook book out too. Goodluck!

Pete Genot answers:

If you want to start a workout plan, you need to follow a nutritional guide. So, you can look up some nutritional plans on Google. But, if you want to add some bulk, you need to make sure you eat a lot of Protein! Because protein, the mineral enacts as a superfood when it comes to enhancing your muscle tissues and repairing them for extra growth.

Take into consideration some of these tips:
– Buy Whey Protein that contains 25 grams of protein or more. Usually $10-$20.
– Try eating peanut butter sandwiches for lunch everyday.
– When you crave a fatning snack like chips, cookies, etc. Try making a salad,
preferably with a lot of tomatoes and not so much dressing. Or buy NutriGrams
thery’re inexpensive and contain a lot of minerals that are vital and they’re pretty good too.
– Remember to always try to control your flesh, and make healthy choices. If your hungry for something else that’s bad, try eating an apple, a banana, or make a smoothie. Try blending some whey protein with the smoothie, it tastes much better and you get twice as much protein. Because directly with milk, it isn’t too good. But if you mix whey protein with a fruit smoothie, it’ll taste pretty good.
– With your dinners, try to cook with healthy oils, use vegetable to steam soft vegetables, or cook chicken tenders with a little pepper and oil. Mix some rice too, and it’ll result to a healthy dinner. Remember that skinless chicken is the way to go, rather than chicken with skin because it contains nothing but fat and calories.

– However, once in a while; say every 2 or 3 weeks; its okay to eat a hamburger or a “fatning snack” to keep in with your diet. But, don’t over indulge this for everyday; or you will not gain muscle, but fat.

Just keep these tips in mind.

Why do you bother going on diets if you have no intention of sticking to it? Believe it or not WW does work. I lost 60 pounds on WW but you have to be in the right state of mind otherwise it is a waste of money. Maybe just be happy in yourself first.

Pete Genot answers:

I’m confused. When was the last time you had your period? If you have missed your period, then you should take a test. I know some people can be irregular, but if you are sexually active you need to realize that a lack of period is either because of an irregular period, some sort of stress or illness or change of diet, or PREGNANCY.

As you have said, many of those symptoms can be caused by sometrhing else. Often times pregnancy symtpoms are similar to those of PMS and other things.

Just know that those symptoms can be b/c of pregnancy. Or they may not be. Those are really the only two options, I know. If you want peace and a solid answer, then it’s pertinent that you test – especially if you have missed your period by a month, 2 months, 3 months, or more. That should be cause for concern enough.

Pete Genot answers:

I’m on a diet at the moment – I’m 5.5″ and trying to get from 10 stone to 9 stone. I have been losing about 2 pound per week eating around 1400 cals a day and doing moderate exercise. Believe me, you will not get by on 800 cals a day and you will actually lose weight slower because your body will store more calories as fat because it will think you are starving. Ok this is an example of what I eat…

Breakfast (around 400 cals)
2 weetabix with cut up banana and semi-skimmed milk and a glass of orange juice.

Mid-morning snack (50-100 cals)
an apple

Lunch (around 400 cals)
Wholemeal pitta bread with half a tin of tuna, extra light mayo and rocket and a fat free yogurt

Mid afternoon snack (50-100 cals)
Ryvita limbos (very tasty and only 63 cals!)

Dinner (up to 500 cals)
Tonight I’m going to have grilled cod fillet with brown rice and a large serving of vegetables. But I also have pasta and chicken with lots of veg, grilled chicken salad etc.

I also walk briskly for about 40 mins per day to and from work but I am going to start training for the race for life soon so that will give me more exercise. I may need to up my calorie intake when I start doing more exercise because I will be burning more!

So in conclusion – Buy lots of fresh fruit and veg, tins of tuna, wholemeal pitta breads, chicken breasts, low fat yogurts, low fat crisps/snacks, orange juice, semi-skimmed milk, brown rice and pasta. Also get some sugar free jelly pots – they have no fat and hardly any calories and come in very useful if you get any cravings!

Hope I’ve helped!

Pete Genot answers:

- Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.

- Have another glass of water while you are having the meal. Again this is another great how to lose weight fast super tip and a way of making yourself full, another great weight loss tips, so that you can actually rise from the table eating less but feeling full just the same. Instead of drinking it one gulp, take sips after each morsel. It will help the food to settle faster so that you get that feeling that you are full faster. SIDENOTE: Water is such a remarkable thing, but seldom do we give it the credit that it deserves. Did you know that over 66% of your body weight is nothing but water’ It’s amazing! Water also plays a vital role in weight control, which is why I donated so much space to it, above.

- Stay away from sweetened bottle drinks, especially sodas. Hey all those colas and fizzy drinks are sweetened with sugar and sugar means calories. The more you can cut out on these sweetened bottle drinks, the better for you. So if you must drink sodas, then stick to diet sodas.

- Include in your diet things that contain more water like tomatoes and watermelons. These things contain 90 to 95 % water so that there is nothing that you have to lose by feasting on them. They fill you up without adding to the pounds.

Crunchy Bran French Toast
4 servings
Ingredients

* 8 slices whole-grain bread
* 4 tablespoons light cream cheese
* 4 teaspoons low-sugar orange marmalade
* 2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
* Zest and juice of 1 orange
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups bran flakes cereal
* 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (optional)

Directions

Spread 4 bread slices with 1 tablespoon cream cheese each; spread the other 4 slices with 1 teaspoon marmalade each. Combine to make 4 sandwiches.

Whisk the whole eggs, egg whites, orange zest and juice, and vanilla in a shallow bowl. Place the bran flakes in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or your hands. Pour the crumbs onto a plate. Dip both sides of each sandwich in the egg mixture, then in the crumbs, gently pressing the crumbs onto the bread.

Heat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the sandwiches in batches and cook until the outsides are golden and the insides are melted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. (Add more oil and butter, if needed.)

Slice the French toast sandwiches into triangles. Let cool before serving to little ones, as the cream cheese can get quite hot. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, and the kids won’t even ask for syrup!

* 2 eggs, lightly beaten
* 1 cup grated Parmesan
* 1/2 to 1 cup olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 4 cups lightly packed fresh spinach leaves
* 1/2 lemon, zested
* 1 lemon, juiced
* 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

When the oil is hot, carefully add the Parmesan-coated vegetables. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches, if necessary. Let the vegetables cook until a crust forms, about 3 minutes per side. Turn the vegetables only when they easily release from the bottom of the pan. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

Place the spinach in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon zest, lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the spinach with the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan coated vegetables. Toss and serve.

Pete Genot answers:

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Pete Genot answers:

I think you will be hungry. All the adipose tissue in your body is fed by blood vessels. To obtain energy just for the normal functioning of your bodily systems, you probably need 2400 calories per diem. In addition, restricting calories will cause your body to fear famine and fight to preserve the fat weight. Also, you need minerals and vitamins from plant based foods. Ergo, do workout. Eat well, just don’t eat calorically dense foods. That way, you can take a few years to learn a new lifestyle. Sometimes, it takes a decade to appreciate the bounty of natural food, like bananas, for example. Once your body produces fat cells, the body is vested in keeping them alive. They haunt you forever. So slow , steady, and vigilant is the only way to minimize the fat ratio. More muscle by way of hard, high pulse rate aerobics. More on the exercise, less empty calories

Pete Genot answers:

I know this for a fact, that you can’t loose “all of your stomach fat” no matter what you do, but the thing is that you want to be healthy. Don’t force a weight loss plan onto yourself, and don’t try anything really drastic. This way you truly will look and feel your best. People would rather see someone healthy and happy on the beach than someone who looks too skinny or unhappy because they’re dieting to look good. But your plan sounds perfect, it’s healthy yet it should get you results. Good luck, and remember, it only matters if you have fun on your trip!

Pete Genot answers:

Water weight- spitting, peeing real fat weight- exercise and diet, your doing good dont worry

Pete Genot answers:

20 lbs is a huge difference, and it’s strange that you haven’t noticed anything in terms of appearance…if you have a healthy diet and consistent exercise, you should definitely see results after 3-4 weeks. Make sure you keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water and weight yourself at the same time in the morning after using the restroom and before you eat anything, maybe once or twice a week. Other than keeping a healthy diet with exercise, there isn’t much you can do to lose the weight naturally.

As for cardio, you should try to run/jog 1-1.5 miles every day. Start at a comfortable pace, and slowly challenge your body to a faster pace and/or for a longer distance.

Pete Genot answers:

You always lose water/food weight when you go to the bathroom, silly.
Water weight is just the um, substance in your body that can be gotten rid of.
Losing water weight is temporary, you’re just going to gain it back when you drink or eat again.
If you ate healthy, you wouldn’t burn fat. You would just be not gaining any fat.
Exercising burns fat, and eating healthy keeps you from gaining that back. Got it? =] so, to answer your question, not very successful.

Good luck! If you have any questions, you can email meeee. =]

Not necessarily,
it may make you feel thinner, and lose some pounds on the scale (temporarily)

Unfortunately, it’s not a great thing. Up to 31% is acceptable for women. Also, since your 16, you don’t want to start out overweight. It only gets harder to lose the fat as you get older. But on the bright side, you have the knowlege of what your body fat percentage is, which is THE way to assess how fit you are, unlike weight. Another great way to measure is waist size.

Pete Genot answers:

I think 4.3% body fat is really low for adults. Someone your height and weight who was over 20 would be recommended to gain a few pounds by their doctor. You should double check your information though with the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculator made for children (ages 2-19 years).How do you know you are 4.3%? Did you use a website, because they are not very accurate. It’s best to ask your gym teacher/ coach at school if they have one of those machines that determines BMI and then ask them what your results mean.
