Question

or should i reduce my calorie intake a bit more? I'm average size so i understand losing weight may be a bit more difficult.

Answer 1

No you will not lose weight as that is far too many calories, you need to cut down to 1200 calories and exercise for at least 1 hour every day. If it was easy everyone would be in the healthy weight range. It is about discipline.

If you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit.

Here are the golden rules:
Initially cut down to 1200 calories.
Exercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved.
Don't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise.
Drink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day.
Limit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day.
Never eat dinner after 6pm.
Adopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!
Make low fat dairy choices

Follow this menu plan as a suggestion:
Breakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon
20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR
fruit salad w low GI soy yogurt
Snack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)
Lunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)
Snack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt
Dinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato
Snack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)

Exercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between.

Cardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes.

To maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again.

Good luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Answer 2

There's no way you need to do all that ^. Stick to about 1500cals a day, do at least 20 minutes exercise 3 times a week. (a brisk walk will do, it's only to get your metabolism going) and just try to be genrally more active, taking the stairs in stead of the lift, walking whenever you can... there's loads of little things that will add up.

Make sure to do some excercise though as a low calorie diet can often lead to muscle wastage instead of fat burning. Make sure to eat some nice protein (but don't cut out carbs!) such as fish or lean meat eg turkey/chicken to keep muscle and burn fat and just enjoy yourself!

Answer 3

Well the correct amount of calories for a women per day is 2200. So you are just under that, so I don't think you would loose alot of weight. So maybe reduce your calorie intake to 1700 per day, then you will see a difference

The key to wasting weight is burning extra energy than you devour. Depending at the excercise pastime you do, it takes a whilst to burn energy. A trace that your burning energy is that if your tummy is bloodless. If your now not wasting weight you will have Thiroid ailment I'm now not certain
