Carol asks…
How can I lose fat and tone up in one month?
Ok, so lately due to stress, I have put on a few extra pounds but it looks like my belly has gotton huge and I hate it. I want to start tomorrow and I am willing to work as hard as I have to to get the best results I can before the end of June. I am determined, and I will work as hard as necesary, I just need some tips on what to do. I don’t have much money at all, so I can’t go out and buy any diet pills or diet foods so I am going to have to work with what I got which isn’t much. I have 2 dvds that I bought from walwart and they are supposed to be pilates workouts. I also have a dvd that has the exercises that were used on the t.v show celebrity fit club but I am unsure if those will work. I know you are not supposed to target any specific areas when trying to lose weight, but I really hate my belly and legs (mostly near my hips + thighs). Esspecially the sides of my belly, I would really like to lose weight there. Please help me do this starting tomorrow, and getting noticible results before the end of June. I am really starting to get low self confidence because of it and I hate it. Thank you for your answers in advance. 
Jane answers:
Diet pills and food are unnecessary. Just eat good wholesome real food. This means nothing that comes in a package or pre made, no fast food or any of that type of crap. Stuff like steamed green leafy veggies, small amounts of lean cut meats (sirloin, chicken, fish), brown rice. Many veggies. Stay away from white carbohydrates and dairy. Most people have mild dairy intolerance which causes bloating in the belly.
Try to eat 5 small meals (like 200-300 calorie meals) a day to keep your metabolism revved up. Do those dvds 6 times a week.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help.
Jane answers:
1) work out on a regular basis…and by work out it can just be a walk everyday to start. It just needs to be something
2) Absolutly NO fast food
3) NO pop/soda
4)only drink water and drink lots of it
5) start counting carbs, try to eat things with low amounts of carbs such as cheese or pepperoni
6) Stay away from Low-Fat food, fat in food isnt what makes people fat, carbs do, low-fat foods are actually worse for you and the food companies know that most of america is retarded and would thing oh, Low-fat or No-fat makes me not fat and buy it but that is NOT that case, it IS worse for you
7) your diet is WAY more important than working out so do not make the mistake of thinking you can workout a lot and eat whatever you want.
Laura asks…
What do I do about my boy’s…corpulent physique?
I am a considerably wealthy single-mother of an nine-year-old boy living in California. We’re very happy together but I’ve just been growing a little concerned about his, um…physique.
My son is a bit of an all-around porker, you see, I can’t deny it. He’s got a big belly, large thighs, huge hips, a fat bottom and well…gynecomastia, Why my brother even once asked me, “Sis, I love you and your kid, but sometimes I really find it hard to imagine how you got him out of your womb!”
I guess I do overfeed sometimes. I try to say “no” but he gives me those puppy dog eyes. I can’t say “no” to those…I guess I’m that strong a woman.
You see, I really started worrying on one sunny saturday morning, when I promised him I would take him for a swim in our back pool. I was looking forward to it, because I just Cherish and adore every moment I spend with my baby. I got all dressed up in my red polka dot bikini and he put on his cute black speedos but then we got out to pool…
When I saw him in his speedos, I was really thunderstruck at how large he really was. I mean, I never had actually took THAT much notice of his large physique as described above until then. It was an eye-opener but I didn’t want to say anything to spoil the day so we just got into the pool.
It did not take long before he got worn out from swimming so I had to let him rest against me for almost the rest of our time in the pool.
After we got out and dried ourselves off, we sat down for lunch and there I cautiously asked him (I did not want to upset him) if he had ever had trouble at the private school he went to, especially in P.E. He told me that he did have quite a bit of trouble in P.E. definitely and that there were a few occassions were a couple of students had mocked him about his ability to keep up and his weight in general. He said they called him a “lard butt”, “plump rump” and once “butter ball”.
Now I am considerably healthy and fit myself. I jog, I swim often and I take Yoga classes. I’ve got a pretty curvy figure, though I have a big butt and noticeably big thighs keeping me down.
So now that I have noticed, I think it’s time I stepped in to help him lose some pounds. I just need help with what I can do specifically. I know there’s the usual, more healthy food and exercise, but what else can I do? I would hate to see my little Simon become depressed if he becomes the prime for bullying at school?
So again, please tell me how I can get my boy all right.
Jane answers:
I had the same problem. Don’t let your son know that he’s going on a “diet.” Just cut down on all of his calories. Like with eggs get rid of all or some of the yolks. If he drinks soda pop, switch to the diet. Eventually try to get him off soda pop altogether. Switch his milk gradually to 2%, then 1%, then skim milk. (Then low-fat if possible.)
Give him lots more fruit and veggies when you can. Especially for night time snacks. Try to cut down any desserts to “low fat” like jello, pudding, yogurt, even low-fat cakes and pies. (Try to eliminate those too.) Try to get him to eat more fish and leaner meat. Switch to light mayonnaise. Try to keep cookies and other sweets out of the house.
You should see the weight dropping off quickly. That’s great that you swim together. Taking brisk walks together would be excellent too.
Try to get him to exercise more! Less video games and more running around, particularly outside with the neighbor kids.
Do all you can to eliminate calories and add exercise. Best of luck to both of you!
