healthy diets??

Question

Does anyone knwoa safe way to lose weight, that doesn't involve starving yourself??

oops! I meant to type 'know a'

Answer 1

I am a firm believer in fitness and calorie moderation.

A lot of the fad diets work in the short run, but rarely work in the long run. Atkins / South Beach diets all involve elimination of major food groups that are tough to live with on a daily basis for the rest of your life.

The most successful, life altering diets I've seen are the ones that involve calorie moderation and fitness. I am a fan of Weight Watchers for those that like the support group and aren't into fitness that much. I think their approach is sensible and doable.

If you are planning on going solo, I recommend getting active. Whatever gets your heart rate going and that you enjoy. So long as you need a shower when you are done. Join a gym, try running / swimming, etc.

Also considering monitoring what you eat. Use a website such as http://www.fitday.com to keep track of your calories and activities. This is essential for no-nonsense weight loss.

Finally, educate yourself. There's a ton of magazines about fitness / health. Pick up Men's Health or Women's Health, Shape, Fitness, whatever trips your trigger. Learn about nutrition and what food does to your body.

Good luck.

Healthy food for weight loss

Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).

Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.

When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.

Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:

Eat breakfast

A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.

Drink water

Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.

Add vegetables

Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.

Try to eat more salads

If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.
