Question

Strictly diet is acceptable. Pls help, thank u

Answer 1

Eat several (5-6) small meals a day...your body will burn calories faster and build your metabolism in a short period of time.
(eat about every 2 hours)
The first 8-10 pounds you shed is water.
Meal suggestions:
1st: piece of fruit
2nd: string cheese, summer sausage, cottage cheese/yogurt
3rd: bowl of cereal
4th: soup/sandwich
5th: a good dinner-meat, potatoes/pasta/rice, veggie...your body needs carbs, protein and vitamins to stay healthy
6th: salad/raw veggies
Drink plenty of water
Drink milk or juice/water with every meal (no soda pop)
Stay away from munchies, fried & fatty foods.
Cardio workouts are great to lose weight and build muscle, most people do not continue for an extended time and gain the weight back... doing daily simple exercise like walking/hiking...swimming and biking are low impact, playing games like basketball, baseball, volleyball will tone your body and you'll have fun doing it.

Answer 2

You have to pick a diet plan that works for you...something you can live with for life. Fat is only the storage of excess food for future energy demands. So as long as you pick any diet that you feel comfortable adopting and you eat less calories then you expend during the day...you will lose fat. Also stay well hydrated.

I lost TONS of weight on the South Beach Diet. It's really hard for the first 2 weeks, but after that it's great. I maintained for a year now. It's not too hard, and is very healthy. Add exercise, and it's the perfect combination without having to count calories constantly.

Answer 4

Weight Watchers. It's proven to be effective for the long term. It teaches you healthy eating habits, and the right combinations of foods that will benefit you the most. It stresses the importance of exercise too. Go to www.weightwatchers.com . You can sign up for free and get limited info on the site, and join the forums there too. But I find it's much better if you attend the meetings...the support of others is so helpful.

Answer 5

You need a good eating plan, and definitely exercise. That is the key, you can lose weight and maintain a healthy average without one or the other. I would recommend going to mypyramid.com, and plugging in your age, weight, and exercise level, and they will give you a recommendation of how much of each food group you should eat a day. You should always try to eat chicken or turkey as opposed to red meat, lots of veggies, and try to stay away from sugars. Drink LOTS AND LOTS of water, and what they taught me in my nutrition class was the best thing for someone is 6 meals a day. Small meals. Or you can do the 3 regular meals, and 3 snacks. Never skip breakfast, and never deprive yourself. Always eat in moderation....

Answer 7

I lost sixty five pounds in a years time and kept it off for fours years now. I walk two to three miles each day and drink plenty of water and do not eat pass five o'clock in the afternoon. The eating during the day was light and full of fruits and vegetables. My husband was my help. If you don't have one, find a friend who will give you confedience. It works for me every single day.

Answer 8

3 average meals a day, 5 portions of fruit/veg, and regular exercise. By far the best ever diet and its common sense...wont cost you a penny or subscription fee :-p

Answer 9

lot fat diet combined with exercise - without both you have no chance - so strictly diet - is useless if you dont burn what you consume
