Yulissa - Here is a link to a fruit diet http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-f…

& While doing either or excercise for an hour everyday after your last meal.
Tom D - If I where you I'd rather workout than to suffer by eating green stuff and something like that , trust me I tried to eat healthy once on the third day ... man that hamburger was legendary
ReplyDeleteMazz - drink lots and lots of water cut back on watching tv stop eating junk food make it only occasionally cut back on sodas
ReplyDeleteSeango727 - Just eat healthy foods like fruit, vegetables, and lean meats such as chicken, fish and turkey. Red meat has a higher fat content, but is ok in moderation.
ReplyDeleteDrink water, cut out ALL soda and keep juice consumption limited to small(ish) amounts.
Avoid any and all junk food, and fats such as butter, ranch dressing, and mayo.
Also, try to go for a run or walk every day, of 5 days a week at least. Make it a bit longer &/or more intense every time. So run a bit farther, or a bit faster each day. It really adds up when you're dedicated. Exercise, while quite necessary for fat loss, has an even more beneficial effect on your health, while diet will be the most important factor in losing fat. In other words, don't listen to anyone telling you diet isn't necessary, or just exercise and you'll lose weight, because they clearly have no real fitness or nutrition experience.
And to back myself up, I was also a heavy kid, I weighed 245lbs, and made it all the way down to 170, all thanks to a complete diet change and some cardio, mixed with weight training. Now I'm back up to 185, but that's just muscle from lifting.
Sarah - Here are some good tips that helped me
ReplyDelete1. Drink one glass of water every hour. It will make you feel full. 2. Drink ice cold water. Your body will burn calories just getting the water to a normal temperature to digest. Also it is great for your complexion. 3. Drink 3 cups of green tea daily. It will help boost your metabolism, plus its anti-oxidants make your skin look great. 4. Take vitamins daily. Do not take vitamins on an empty stomache, otherwise they have nothing to catalyze with. 5. Eat ice or gum when hungry. This will make your body think it had food without the calories. 6. Eat spicy foods. They raise your metabolism. 7. Take cold showers because your body will burn calories to heat you back up. 8. Brush your teeth so you won’t be tempted to eat afterwards. 9. Wear a rubberband around your wrist. Snap it when you want to eat. 10. Use smaller plates and utensils so it seems like you ate more. 11. Chew each bite of food thoroughly and then take a sip of water between bites. You will feel full quicker and will not eat as much. 12. Sleep at least six hours a day. If you get less than six this can lower your metabolism by 15%. 13. If you start to feel hungry do sit ups. 14. Pamper yourself! Give yourself a facial, paint your nails, anything to make you feel pretty. 15. Keep track of everything you eat to manage your weight better. 16. Keep good posture, burns 10% more calories when you sit up straight. 17. Make a list of all the “bad” foods that you crave and tend to binge on. Each day, pick one to take out of your diet that you cannot eat again. Take one off the list each day until there are no more bad foods you can have. 17. Avoid alcohol! A shot of liquor has 100-120 calories, a glass of wine has 80 calories, a lite beer has 110-120 calories, and a regular beer has 140-170 calories. 18. Avoid eating anything bigger than about a cup, your stomach will expand and then you’ll get hungry more. 19. The smell of coffee is thought to supress appetite. 20. Wear applied lip gloss. It makes you more aware of what’s going in your mouth. Also, flavored ones may help with cravings. 21. Have 6 small meals a day. 22. Low calorie hot chocolate curbs chocolate cravings, and makes you feel full. 23. Take a picture of yourself wearing a bathing suit or something equally important to you, look at it before you want to eat. 24. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full. 25. Eat lots of fiber. It makes you feel full and takes fat with it out of your body. The natural cleansing helps improve both your energy level and overall feeling of wellness. 26. Before you dig into that cake, bag of chips, candy, or whatever, take a deep breath and count to 100. Usually by the time you get to 100 you will have convinced yourself that you don’t really want it. 27. Celery actually burns calories. Every hour eat a stalk of it. Not only will it fill you up, but it will also get your metabolism kicking. 28. Read the nutritional information. Remember, fat-free does not mean calorie-free. 29. Keep an eye on fiber content. Get as much fiber into your diet as you can, while cutting fat and calories. 30. Don’t eat a lot at once. Spread your food throughout the day. This will help to avoid binging and keep your metabolism going. 31. Avoid alchohol. 32. Do not eat in front of the computer or TV. This distracts you from recognizing you’re full. 33. Stay away from Slim-fast and other so-called “healthy” candy bars and shakes… one look at the nutition facts will tell you why. Save yourself the money, and the calories. Buy yourself some flowers instead -- they make you happy. 34. When having cravings try drinking a tall, icy glass of water with slices of lemons or oranges - sometimes what you think is hunger is really thirst. 35. Remember, an occasional binge doesn’t hurt, in fact it’s quite beneficial if you have reached a plateau (stopped losing weight). Just don’t binge too regularly! 36. Love and respect yourself and your body. I hope this helped
☆Yoona☆ - Focus on portion control instead of specific foods, since you will be eating what your parents buy anyway. Fat free, sugar free etc is all crap.. Don't worry about that stuff. Try to stick to more natural foods if you have them at home,.. fruits, veggies, brown rice, legumes etc.
ReplyDeleteYou could count calories (but I find that to be too much work), so instead, you could take a simpler approach to controlling how much food you eat and you can do 3 single serve meals a day. So pretty much you can have whatever for breakfast, lunch and dinner, (as long as it is savoury) but stick to single plate serves. This idea is explained better here -> http://www.nosdiet.com/
An obvious one is exercise. You don't need a gym membership, just go for a long walk or run 3-5 times a week. Make it a rule to go every school afternoon or morning and give yourself the weekends off.
Drink plenty of water! Make water and green/white tea the only beverages you consume if you can.
Although I think that the type of foods that you eat are important, I also know that there are tons of skinny people who are only skinny because of controlling their portions, not necessarily because of eating 'diet approved foods'.
Remember, it isn't just about losing weight, it is about creating permanent healthy habits that will keep you at an ideal weight, so focus on that:)
Good luck
Finn - Okay, first of all. Don't starve yourself. Just don't do it.
ReplyDeleteNow that we've got that established...
1) Eat a healthy breakfast every morning. Have fruit, greek yogurt, healthy cereal (no sugary crap)
2) Drink lots of water. It's so good for you, seriously. Try to drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. Yeah, you'll have to pee, but it'll be worth it. Water's also really good for keeping clear skin.
3) Get at least 8 hours of sleep per night. Raises your metabolism to help burn fat.
4) Cut down on carbs.
5) Don't eat before bed.
6) Eat small portions, and healthy snacks between meals.
7) No candies, chips, desserts, etc.
8) Do cardio 3-5 times per week. Cardio is speed-walking, jogging, bike-riding and swimming. You don't need a gym membership or anything.
9) Set small weight goals for yourself, and everytime you reach one, give yourself a reward (NOT FOOD. YOU ARE NOT A DOG, DON'T REWARD YOURSELF WITH FOOD)
10) Don't give up. You will see results if you eat healthy and workout. It's not rocket science.
