Will running for 30 minutes a day five days a week. at 5.9 miles per hour on a 2.0 incline be enough to maintain weight loss? I am a teenager and I’m consuming roughly 1800 calories per day. Right now I’m running for 45 minutes five days a week at 5.9 miles per hour on a 0.5 incline. I walk the other two nights to give my knees a break.

I am currently 145…and would like to get down to 127 which is the recommended weight for my height., 5′0″. So far I’ve lost 9lbs in 5weeks. I want to lose the remainder of the weight by May. I love to read real weight loss stories because they seem to inspire me. Care to share? How long did it take? What was it like? How much did you lose? What did you do?

I am on the induction phase of the Atkins diet and not losing weight. It’s only been a week but I thought I might have results by now. Some small result and I have not eaten anything that is not allowed in induction. I am definitely in ketosis.

I smoke. 3-5 cigs per day. Will that hinder weight loss on the Atkins diet? I know that induction is period where your body is detoxing so I wonder how smoking affects this.

No Atkins debunkers or guesses please. I need sound advice from those that know the answer. Resources most appreciated. Thanks heaps.

Ruger KP90 asked:


I want to know from people with experience in their suggested diet/weight loss/muscle toning plan.

What do you plan do you recommend for men?
I’m looking for weight loss, muscle toning, and muscle mass building. Weight loss and muscle toning are more desired than mass building (I don’t plan on taking any shakes).

I weigh 178lbs, am 5′9″ tall, and I am not obese but overweight.

Name your best diet & exercise plans! Books, articles, drugs, companies, etc!

Audrina asked:


I heard that the prescription drug Adderall (commonly used to treat ADD/ADHD) used to be prescribed as a weight loss medication. I believe this was done in the early 1990s but they no longer prescribe it for that use. Does anyone have a report or story online from a reliable source explaining what I’m talking about? I’m just wondering why it is not used as a weight loss prescription (if it ever, really was). Thanks!
