Will the weight lost during the diet come back?

Lemon Detox - Frequently asked questions
Most of the time the weight stays off. Unlike many other diets where the weight lost is mostly water weight, most of the weight lost during the Lemon Detox Diet comes from the loss of mucus, diseased cells and fat tissue. This is where toxins are stored in our system and it is from here where real weight is lost. One of the great benefits of the Lemon Detox Diet is that people usually kick their “bad food” habits and cravings.

How much weight will be lost?

Frequently Asked Questions: Healthy STEPs Weight Loss Center...
The exact amount of weight which a patient will lose after any other type of weight control surgery cannot be exactly predicted. As with any weight control plan, final outcome depends on many factors, such as activity, food choices, motivation, age, etc. However, the experience with our form of gastric bypass in the past several years is that most patients lose well over half of their excess fat in the first 12-18 months after surgery.

How can I prevent gaining lost weight?

From the Cleveland Clinic: Frequently Asked Questions About ...
Set realistic weight loss goals, such as a 1 to 2 pound weight loss per week. Those who lose weight slowly, by eating less and exercising more, tend to keep their lost weight off. Eat fewer calories by cutting down on portions and/or decreasing the total amount of fat you eat to 30% or less of your total daily calories. Keep low calorie, low-fat snacks on hand, such as pretzels, raw vegetables with low calorie dips or fruit.

Will the stomach pouch stretch so that the lost weight is gained?

Bariatric Surgery by Julie Ellner, M.D., Other FAQ's
If the surgery is performed correctly, the pouch will not stretch significantly. It is more important to concern yourself with stretching the stoma of the new stomach by persistently overeating, or by not chewing food well enough. This does not occur easily, but occurs only by persistently overeating over a long period. The surgery is a tool to help you achieve weight loss, but you must follow the nutritional recommendations for long-term success.

Is my doctor right when he tells me I would get better if I lost weight?

Pulmonary Hypertension Association
If you are overweight, losing weight is likely to make you feel better what ever the cause of your symptoms. So the recommendation to lose weight is almost always a good one. One can not comment on the cause of your symptoms without knowing all the details of your case. In the earlier stages of pulmonary hypertension, the symptoms can be non-specific and the findings on physical examination subtle. Therefore in some cases they may be attributed to anxiety or depression.

Is there anything I can do to prevent hanging skin after weight lost?

mylapsurgeon.com: faqHamot
Exercise can help, but if you lose an excessive amount of weight, more than likely you will have hanging skin. Often the skin returns, much as after pregnancy. We recommend exercise to help tone the muscles, and the skin. Some patients will want plastic surgery to help the problem areas, although we suggest patients wait for two years after weight loss surgery: first because there will be less skin to remove, and second, you might not need the plastic surgery.

Once I've lost the weight, how can I keep from regaining it?

Weight Loss Phase
Continue whatever you did to lose it. Phrasing it another way, don't do anything to lose it that you aren't willing to continue as long as you want to keep the weight off (e.g., forever). For the overwhelming majority of people, weight lost on fad or crash diets is regained within a matter of months or years, leading to yet another fad diet, weight loss, weight regain, etc. (a pattern commonly known as "yo-yo dieting").

Have you ever been on a diet, lost weight and kept it off?

Freedom From Diets Forever
The chances are if you are reading this, you have been on many diets, and like 95% of all dieters you have been unable to lose weight and keep it off for life. If diets really did work then you wouldn't have to keep going on a diet, once would be enough. The problem is most dieters blame themselves for the failure, not the diet they were following. So they continue to yo-yo diet believing that it is lack of will power that is keeping them from staying slim.

Is weight lost during treatment?

Ayurveda Kurklink Bad Ems
Generally those who are overweight will lose weight during ten days or more of Panchakarma treatment. The doctor can also prescribe a special diet which will complement this process. For those who are underweight the treatment plan and diet can be arranged to ensure that no weight is lost. Having treatment directly after a long journey with the time and climate differences is not medically conducive to experiencing the full effects of treatment and is therefore not recommended.

Help HER - & For Mothers | HG FAQs
In most cases, women who lose weight during their first trimester have normal babies. Adequate nutrition is important for the baby, but his/her requirements are very minimal during the first few months. Your body should have sufficient stores for the baby during this time. High-quality vitamins can be helpful for most women, but those with HG often cannot tolerate them, especially if they contain iron.

Will I need plastic surgery for the excess skin when I have lost a lot of weight?

LAP-BAND Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | True Results
That is not always the case. As a rule, plastic surgery should not be considered for at least a year or two after the operation since sometimes the skin will mold itself around the new body tissue. Give the skin the time it needs to adjust before you decide to have more surgery.

FAQ - Frequent Asked Questions about Body Disharmony Syndrom...
The fat presence is an important factor for the Cellulite, but it is not the only factor, as we already commented on. The weight is not important, what is important is the amount of fat in the body composition and the fat that is present in the area with Cellulite. The woman deposits fat in preferential areas, as in the hip. This fat is difficultly removed.

Can you tell me how much weight you've lost and in what amount of time?

The UnDiet FAQ page.
That's difficult for me to answer as I've used my own body in my research and deliberately ate things that I knew weren't right, to gauge how it slowed or stopped weight loss. But when I did everything right I was losing a pound a day which slowed to half a pound a day as I became closer to my goal weight. Basically I'm losing weight while eating about three times more than I ate when I was "dieting". The hardest part of the UnDiet for me is not drinking water for 2 hours after a meal.
