Chris and I feel so fortunate to get wonderful emails, questions, and comments from so many of you each and every day. As much as we wish we could sit and pen a response to every single one of them, the fact of the matter is that?time simply does not permit us to do this. If only I had 48 hours in a day…;). Instead, we’ve got something special in store. We’re taking our most FAQs – both personal and show related – and answering them via?video for you all!

Now where on earth do we even begin? Well, in honor of the May 26th premiere of Extreme Weight Loss Season 5, we’re answering some of your most commonly asked show-related questions.?Check out?the video below to learn more about why we do what we do on Extreme Weight Loss. Enjoy!

We didn’t answer your questions? Not to fear, help is here. This is far from the last time we will share “Q&A with the Powells” videos, and would love to answer YOUR questions! Tell us what you want to know in the comments below. 🙂

Xoxo,

  2. Hi y’all! I love your show and y’all! My question is, what is the best way to lose belly fat? I am now 155 and 5’9. I have done work out videos for the past two months, with eating a lot healthier and cutting out carbs- like bread and pasta (most of the time) :-)! I just started implementing 30 minutes on a Nordic Track free strider into my daily homework outs. In two months I have lost about 14 pounds (the holidays wasn’t good to me). I am still struggling with loosing belly fat, what is the most effective way to do this? I would love to lose 15 more pounds before late June! Any advice or help you could give would be wonderful! Thank You for all y’all do!!

  3. i try to eat clean and fall off the wagon all too often. Any strategies to stay the course and what foods are best to avoid in terms of adding belly bloat or fat?

  4. With the significant number of chronic pain sufferers in the population today can you address how a person that suffers from Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Tendonitis, etc…. would manage to get a good enough work out in to lose 30 pounds and also to maintain a good weight. I have all three of those mentioned above but would love to get in shape. Unfortunately due to my physical issues working out the way people do on your show is near to impossible.
    It always looks like the contestants are suffering and I imagine at the weight that they are that they suffer from some form of pain in their joints. I thik you might be able to help a significant portion of the population work through their pain issues if it was even mentioned on the show.
    I agree that the impact of the large transformations is huge but to address the segment of America that is struggling with pain would help us alot.
    Thank you both for being inspirational. You are always a pleasure to watch.

  5. Hey guys! I’ve looked everywhere online and in your book for my answer to my question but can’t find it. I had a total thyroidectomy and am wondering if the turbo carb cycling would be effective for me. I’ve gained 30 pounds in the last two years and nothing is helping!!! HELP!! I WILL work hard if it will help me.

  6. Hey guys! So I’ve been eating clean and exercising ever since I’ve had my daughter about 10 months ago. So far I’ve lost 53 pounds! I still have some more weight to lose but I keep pulling/tearing ligaments in my feet! I mainly do fast walking and do different machines at the gym! so I was wondering is there anything special that you do on extreme weight-loss that helps with not getting torn ligaments! I want to continue my weight loss but it’s getting kind of hard because I keep getting hurt! is there anything I can do to prevent this? any advice you could give me would be helpful??

  7. Hey Chris and Heidi! I’ve been doing Crossfit for 7 years and have noticed that you guys have been integrating Crossfit into the show over the last number of seasons, without actually talking about Crossfit (sort of like Fight Club!). How much Crossfit are you actually integrating into the programming for the participants, and why don’t you discuss it more openly on the show?

  8. Im overweight. 250 and ive been exercising..been doing pretty good. But i wanted to know is it really safe to drink 1 gallon of water a day to stay even more healthier? ? ?? ? and is it really necessary to portion your foods all the time when you’re trying to lose weight? . .PS have a fantastic weekend Powell family .

  9. I’ve noticed you and Chris do crossfit a lot. Do you follow the carb cycling diet? If so, which one cycle do you follow?
