[Guest guest]

Well Dr. Joshi, I for one need to lose 75 lbs. which was medication induced,

not from over eating. I have since stopped the medicine (zyprexa) am going

to the gym and following the weight watchers diet, and have not lost one

pound. Can you help me?

I have known people to be very successful with the Weight Watchers diet. How

long have you been on it? What kind of work out are you doing as well?

It has been six weeks of strenuous exercise, and following the diet to the

letter. I did read that it is possible but difficult to lose this weight, I

just didn't realize how difficut. This was given to me for insomnia.

Yeah this is a bit tougher.

I have worked with people in this situation.

WE have found that drinking two litres of water daily, doing pranayama and

perhps doing a good panchakarma seem to help.

Well hang in there. It took me 2 years to lose 60

lbs, but since then I haven't gained any of it back.

Well, until I got pregnant, that is.

Some tips that will maybe help, if you aren't already

doing it:

-Make sure you're drinking enough water (I know thats

a duh for the people on this site but you'd be

surprised how many people don't know to drink water)

-Make sure you are incorporating weight training and

cardio into your work out routine. Doing one or the

other alone does not burn fat nearly as well as doing

both. Plus, if you build up muscle mass you will burn

more fat when you aren't working out as well.

-Make sure you aren't doing the same exercises

everyday. If you don't mix it up your body gets used

to it and it stops being a struggle (ie, a workout)

for it.

-Sneak exercise in in other ways. Park in the

farthest spot in the lot at work and the store, or

better yet, park a block or two away from work. Doing

this adds up to miles of extra walking a month.

Always take the stairs. Wear wrist and ankle weights.

Even really scrubbing the house down can burn a lot

of calories. My favorite trick is to listen to music

while doing chores and to dance. It makes you happy

at the same time.

 

I lost all my weight simply by strict adherance to the

food pyramid and a lot of working out. I ran 2 to 4

miles a day, three days a week, worked out a different

muscle group for an hour every day, five days a week,

did cardio on a machine (such as a treadmill or

eliptical)for a half hour two days a week, did yoga

and pilates classes two days a week, and on the

weekends I went hiking or snorkeling. I was on about

1200 calories a day during this time period. Thats

what worked for me.

Good luck!
