Answer 1

A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER:
The correct way to burn fat and stay healthy is to burn more calories than you consume
You need to make sure you are eating healthy foods while still excercising
If you have a big appetite drink plenty of water so that you will feel full but not consume calories
But you should always eat
If you start to skip meals you will only be more hungry at your next meal and probably eat way too much
Remember, the average persons stomach is as big as a slice of pizza scrunched up into a ball
So you shouldnt be putting more food into your stomach than what fits
Also, it takes aproximately 15-20 minutes for your brain to realize that you are full
so eat slower and you will realize sooner when you are not hungry anymore

ALSO....
i found this artical called "50 Habits of "Naturally Thin" People
How to get Started:Decide how much you want to loose and see how many calories a day it will take to make it happen by year's end.Then, work into your routines however many of these eating tweaks and exercises you need to achieve your goal.
Slash 250 cal.s a day to lose about 25 lbs. in a year, Slash 500 cal.s to loose 50 pounds.
This is based on a 150-pound person: you may need to cut more/ fewer calories depending on ur weight, age & gender. It also assumes your normal calorie intake essentially stays the same and your weight is stable.

Answer 2

First off, 150 pounds at 5'6" is not a bad thing! Too many people are trying to be super-skinny, which isn't healthy! But you will have to exercise in order to maintain that weight or lose any. Don't listen to anybody that says starve yourself, that's not healthy!

Answer 3

If its white bread and rice then theres your answer - they have a high GI and cause blood sugar highs and crashing lows which leave you craving for more.

I love food too and thats what keeps me slim...! because i love learning about healthy food, trying new recipes, experimenting with exotic fruit, vegetables and ingredients! You need to be eating mainly fruit and veg with small portions of UNPROCESSED carbs and quality protein and a little 'good' fat. Gillian McKeith does a good cookbook (better than her dietary advice book which is too strict) but any low GI infomation will help.

If you are already walking they try a little jogging - 1 min jog then walk till you get your breath back then jog again - soon you'll be running!
Good luck with it all!

Answer 4

Your height/weight ratio is just fine, don't let people put you down, by saying you are to big (or even too small) you are who you are, which is just perfect for you.
However, if YOU are unhappy with your weight, just adding 20-30 minutes of exercise, 3 times a week will burn up alot of those carbohydrates you are eating, and make you feel better mentally and emotionally. Good Luck.

Answer 5

If you are 5'6 and 150 pounds, i think u may be normal weight, do u want to get more in shape? if so, just weightlift and stuff, work out all parts of your body, legs chest, back, shoulders. but i think you are a normal weight, u just may look out of shape. i cant really tell by a avatar

Answer 6

i was in exactly your position a few months ago and i lost weight by being verrrry smart about calories...i went on every fast food website and wrote down all their items under 300 calories..i carry around the sheet with me in my wallet that way i can still eat fast food...i eat tons of fruit...i eat tons and tons of frozen vegetables (birds eye makes good steamed ones)...ive found good 40 calorie breads at the grocery store (rice you can still have if you watch your PORTIONS). if you are meticulous, you can find such low calorie good stuff...i feel like all i do all day long is eat but at the end of the day its usually only about 1000 calories

Answer 7

Some people can tolerate carbs (bread and rice) better than others. Make sure you are balancing your diet with plenty of fruits, veggies and dairy and you should see a difference.

My favorite quick meal is brown rice, green beans and cheese, with a bit of Terriaki sauce....yum....

Answer 8

You should replace certain foods in your current diet with healthier foods. For example, instead of drinking sugary sodas, drink water instead. Instead of drowning your salad in dressing, put a very small amount in a dish on the side instead. Instead of unching on chips, try vegetables and onion dip.

Answer 9

YEA ! Carbs carbs carbs sugar, lose the bread/ rice (all refined carbs), I did, lost 48 lbs in 4 months, eating was fun but, the "woo hoo's" and the "gum snaps" in the supermarket are more fun than food !

Answer 10

Use "FIBER CLEAR". It's a product of "NATURE MADE" company, and it is a very useful dietary fiber and calorie supplement which makes you not to feel hungry. Believe me, it would affect your love about bread or rice with the same satisfaction! :)
