well. losing weight is simple. just pop some diet pills or drink some slim fast buit just prepare to gain it all back.. but keeping it off is the trick. you have to make a huge life change if youd like to keep off the bulge.
diet is first
meat is terrible for you. unless its fish or white meat. but even white meat isnt all to healthy. meat contains horrible steroids that clog our artieries and slow our metabolism. try boca burgers and soy meat. its healtheir for your heart and body. but if you have to eat meat go fish or white.
veggies and beans. they are best for your diet. contain many nutients and little carbs and calories. theres thousands of beans out there (calico, lima, black, etc etc etc) spinach salad is great.
dairy. if you go dairy... again try soy. animal products contain more and more unhealthy things every year. soy products have more nutrients anyway. although non fat yoguurt, cream and cottage chese all are beneficial.
fruits are ok. they are high carbs ( good carbs though) but are still hard for your body to break down. definatly eat more veggies, soy meat, beans and dairy then you do ffruit. but fruit is ok 1 or 2 times a day.
if you go bread or pasta. go dark. whole wheat breads and pastas are best. bnrown rice is ok. id cut this stuff out for a while though ans slowly add it back in. when you do try to limit it once everyother day if that.
i know this sounds like a vegan diet(if you do it right atleadst). and a hard one (i loved carbs) but have you seen egans? skinny and healthy. my mom is sort of hippiesh and has always been a vegan skinnist girl. i struggled with my weight until i was 13 and became vegan and lost 45 lbs. if you do this diet and eat healthy youll see a great difference without excersise for a while. but you definatly should get some cardio in. not only is it good for weight loss but it prevents heart dieseae.
try cardio 30 minutes 5 times a week (or as often as possible) go for a jog, or a brisk walk. go biking, or swimming. buy some aerobic dvds. do something. make sure you do strenght training too (pilates to tone up, or lift weights, push ups or situps all tone your body.)
its super hard at first. but you have to do it. you have to commit for your whole life. if you do this, in about a month youll be feeling so healthy and thinner that youll want to do it the rest of your life though. give it a try and good luck.
((the vegan thing isnt necesary if you do eat meat and non soy products.. youll see weight loss still but just not as much or as fast.... plus the animal product less way is just healthier))
