Question??
I have to lose about 10 pounds in about 2-3 weeks because apperently im sonewhat chunky does anyone know a good way of doing so without starving?? Jan 30 06 03:13 am Link Cut out dairy and sugar, watch the straches (Your body burns it as sugar). Eat your greens, veggies and fruits. Work out 3-5 days a week. Do mostly cardio! Don't drink soda's and coffee. Drink your water, green tea, and hot lemon water. Hot lemon water and green tea, help speed your sluggish metabolism. When I want to lose weight I drink a glass of hot lemon water or green tea. Eat a cup of asian rice. (Do not eat instant rice like Uncle Ben's, it's not really rice it is made with wheat. Which is a gulton watch is a strach. Go to an Asian food store you can get a 20 pound bag for like 15 bucks) Then I eat my fruits, veggies, and green stuff. If I still feel hungry I drink more water. If still have more veggies. But this works well. But exercise is the key to weight lose! Jan 30 06 03:22 am Link awsome thank you so much what about the meat factor should i cut down on that too? Jan 30 06 03:26 am Link Exactly what Samantha said and you may want to cut back on eating shoes...High in fiber (carpet fiber) Jan 30 06 03:31 am Link Try the Special K challenge for real. They say you'll lose 6 lbs in 2 weeks. I've been told by 2 friends they've lost the weight doing that. Replace 2 meals with a bowl of Special K cereal, use skim milk and eat fruit. Eat your third meal as usual. For snacks eat Special K bars (they are very good) and fresh fruit. It's not too expensive and its worth a try. Angie PS..Chunky?? WTF? Don't look it to me.. Jan 30 06 03:31 am Link oh well ive gotta photoshoot coming up an the photographer thinks im a bit chunky but its all good im down for the challenge Jan 30 06 03:33 am Link Mana Malekraeisi wrote: Depends on who you talk to. I say yes, cut back. Has alot of fat, plus it is hard to burn. But if you have to go ahead. I say your better off with chicken and seafood. Seafood has a lot of Omega 3's which help in weight lose.

Jan 30 06 03:37 am Link if the photog thinks you're chunky, which you're not...oh nevermind, it's not worth it. just boils my blood a little is all. anyways, if you like fish, eat it. it's the BEST for you...you could try eating sushi too as a variation. but the omega 3's are good for your skin, hair and blood...and if your blood is good (as in, not full of cholestoral, etc...i can't spell at 4:45am sorry), then it won't clog your arteries which in turn creates other problems, like holding toxins in your body. fish and water, and whoever said asian rice...so yeah, like i said: SUSHI...if you like it  Jan 30 06 03:46 am Link How can anyone call you chunky?? *honestly perplexed by that* Jan 30 06 03:53 am Link And where exactly is he thinking that this ten pounds is going to come from?? When you start losing weight that your body needs, it will come out of what it feels are "non-essential" areas such as your breasts, before it comes off of your stomach or thighs. Honestly, is this dude paying you because unless this is a paid shoot I'd tell him to sit and spin. Did he see you initially when you might have been bloated or someting?? And what is he gonna do, whip out the scales before he takes the lenscap off ? Now, if this is still worth it to you, you CAN lose ten pounds in a relatively short period of time but bear in mind that in no way is this considered healthy. 1-2 pounds per week is considered a healthy weight loss. I'd suggest trimspa ( apparently it works by swelling up in your tummy, which compared with other methods of getting skinny seems relatively tame), and pick and choose from what others have said..green tea with ginger FIRST THING in the AM (Just TRY eating after that) and only eating things like salad with balsamic vinegar as dressing (bottled dressings have fat,sugar and salt, which makes you retain water) fresh veggies rice cakes and that sort of stuff. Still I would hardly think it's worth it. Jan 30 06 04:08 am Link Miss Anthropy wrote: Maybe, if he is paying, he somehow believes that he is paying by the pound. Jan 30 06 05:44 am Link studio36uk wrote: I was going to say something like that but didn't want to get flamed as a crazy frumpy feminazi Jan 30 06 06:02 am Link vegan living. All dairy, all eggs, all meat and all their by products are nixed. Rice and vegetables. *be careful eating too many fruits! They are packed with sugars and carbs! Take a couple servings a day, but don't go snacking on them too much if you're dieting* Walk a couple miles a day. and drink nothing but the green tea and water *lemon water too* but... I'm going to add my 2 cents in with the others... You are NOT chunky. You can tell homeslice photographer that Heroin Shiek is very passe' we've moved on as a magazine culture. Its gross that he would want you sickly thin. While some models are built that way and they honest to god can't help it... I see it as a disturbing trend amongst the masses to make themselves look like a starving child in Ethiopia. Why don't you make a compromise... Lose HALF of your goal. If you lose a little more thats cool, but don't set out going "I AM GOING TO LOSE 10lbs BY NEXT WEEK"S END!" because realisticly, you have nowhere healthy to pull from. and please, when this is over, DON"T keep eating like a dieter. You are so beautiful, it would be a shame to see it go to waste because some photographer may have given you a complex by the end of this... Jan 30 06 06:13 am Link Miss Anthropy wrote: Why would we think that? Agencies are often just as guilty, too. Send in a girl/woman who is already thin and I will bet you a lot of then tell the model - "Oh dear, you will have to loose "x" pounds." You are not a feminazi they are fashionazis. Jan 30 06 07:53 am Link I dont think you are "Chunky".. however.. if you want to lose some quick yet safe weight.. Stop drinking any soda. I stopped drinking any and all sodas for two week.. lost 5 pounds. and I was drinking only a diet soda.. The stuff in soda will not just the sugars.. will stay in your body... Jan 30 06 08:56 am Link All those mocha lattes You gotta do pilates... Jan 30 06 09:15 am Link If you are really 5'7'' and actually weight 115, then if you lose weight you will be clinically underweight. Either: a) your stats are not accurate or b)that photographer is out of his mind and you are out of your mind for wanting to lose 10lbs while you already weight 115 I would suggest that you see a professional. A dietician or a fitness expert. Especially since you do not appear to need to lose any weight. But if you really do need to and want to lose the weight in a healthy way, a professional would be your best bet Jan 30 06 09:15 am Link CrazyIsabelAurora wrote: Better she should see a professional photographer Jan 30 06 10:46 am Link Miss Anthropy wrote: "Sit and spin!" (she said sweetly). [smile] I like your attitude and your phrasing - straight to the point. Jan 30 06 11:04 am Link I have to ask what is the shoot for? is it a job or just a ftp? You look fine to me. Drastic weight loss in a short period of time is not healthy and almost always gained back. What is the photographer basing his judgement of you being a little chunky on. If it is not a real job tell him you are allright with the way you are. If you do need to lose a few pounds, do it over a period of time and in a healthy manner. You are more important than any shoot. I am sure I will take heat for saying that but it is the truth. Jan 30 06 11:15 am Link Mana Malekraeisi wrote: Tell that photographer to go to hell for calling you chunky! You are perfect right now! I would shoot with you in your current shape now. You are currently slim if the stats are correct, and from looking at your pictures, I don't think you are over weight by any stretch of the imagination. That's my opinion. If there are any medical doctors or nurses that know more about proper weight and height ratios, please comment on this ... I don't want to see another Karen Carpentar situation here!

And you can see my ribs. I have a small body with noticable ribs. Depends on the body.But I have a smaller waist. But look at most X shaped curvy swimsuit models. They have small waist, bigger hips, and cheast. I don't know why the ribs happen. Even when I was over weight they were still there. Jan 30 06 01:18 pm Link Samantha Grace wrote: I meant be able count the ribs individually not merely see the outline of a ribcage. As for you individually - the package, as a whole, is fine. Nothing to complain, much less worry, about. Jan 30 06 02:55 pm Link Yeah, tell the photographer to adjust his monitor, he's obviously getting some barrel distortion. Jan 30 06 04:14 pm Link OMG I'm 5lbs away from chunky!!  Jan 30 06 04:21 pm Link AllenA wrote: I second this motion. You aren't "chunky" by no means...if your info is up to date. I know a girl that is 5'6 and 110 and she looks just fine. Jan 30 06 04:23 pm Link Cut your diet to small portions of fish and fresh vegetables. Something like 3 oz fish and 1C vegetables. Have this in the morning to get your furnace burning. Mix it into modest size salads, no dressing. Cut your total calories to about 500-800 per day, with 20g carbohydrates or less. This isn't much, so you have to budget your nutrition to get the most bang for the calories you are allowed. Increase protein, cut carbs, cut portion size. Modest exercise. Vitamins. No bread, no rice, no sugar, no processed foods. NO junk food, no hamburgers, no fast food, no candy, no cookies, no chips, no bagels, no ice cream, no pizza, no alcohol. No restaurants. No problem. Losing a pound a day is reasonable. Jan 30 06 06:17 pm Link adrienne of Zswana wrote: It's all those half pizzas and cookie-dough... Jan 30 06 08:04 pm Link Mana Malekraeisi wrote: In fairness, what Hamza said is right, you are chunky to this photographer. If this is a contracted gig and you got cast under the condition that you lose the pounds, well then this is completely understandable.

Jan 30 06 08:19 pm Link studio36uk wrote: Oh, Okay I get what you mean. I misunderstood what kind of sticking out ribs. Jan 31 06 12:21 am Link Hamza wrote: Ahhh thats true. Holiday weight, forgot about that. Jan 31 06 12:28 am Link Someone mentioned above to see a professional. I couldn't agree more. As much fun as it would be to give her a cut and dried solution, the truth of the matter is that some of the things mentioned could do just as much damage as some of the fads. If you want to lose weight (and make sure it is because YOU want to lose it) then seek out the help of a nutritionist. Just as you would not ask your automechanic to take photos of you, I wouldn't ask us what to eat (or not eat). Their job is to make certain that what you are ingesting is going to benefit all of you and not just a for the moment solution. Jan 31 06 12:48 am Link thank you to all for all of the advice Jan 31 06 03:39 am Link Pilates, Yoga, brown rice + vegetable regime...cut out red meats.fish ok..balance everyday in regards to eating. have breakfast, lunch and dinner at the same time everyday. Walk daily one hour and shoot for 40 minutes of cardio every second day. Also balance mind and spirit if possible. NO SWEETS but smile peace francis Brightsoul Photography Jan 31 06 03:45 am Link |
