I need to lose weight, but i keep failing anything i can take to curb my apetite?

Answer 1

I have lost around 60 lbs in 6 months and I will tell you what not to eat. The first myth we have been told is that fat is bad. Sugar and carbohydrate are the big nasties. In fact, reduced fat food that has had some of the fat removed is actually more fattening than the regular food because the removed fat in most cases has been replaced with carbs! This is the main reason why you must absolutely stay away from ALL processed food with no exception. Eat fresh and natural. You must have 3 meals a day and get into a routine so your body knows when to expect food. Your body is capable of doing exquisite things to avoid weight loss if it thinks it’s going to get starved, so you must feed it and regularly.

The other thing you must do is keep your insulin as low as possible by getting sugar and carbs in your diet as close to zero as you can and not having ANYTHING between meals except water. Also having at least 5 hours between one meal and another. The last meal of the day must be no later than 9pm. Insulin is a hormone that will absolutely block fat and protein burning in your body and force it to burn sugar, that's how it works. You will NOT lose weight with your blood stream flooded with insulin, even with exercise. It’s impossible. You must have at least 8 glasses of water a day in order for your liver and kidneys to excrete the fat from your body this is crucial.

Now, what you must stay away from and I mean, non at all. Bread, pasta, rice, pastry, flour of any kind, sugar, potato, onion, parsnip, sweet potato, pumpkin, beetroot, carrots, peas, beans, beer, sweet wine, spirits, spreads like butter and margarine and be very careful of sauces and condiments. Fruit and milk should be taken very, very sparingly because they are fattening. Fruit is full of sugar too, only a very small amount. Avoid all processed food including diet soda it will stimulate insulin. 3 cups of black tea or coffee WITH meals a day is OK. Use Stevia for a sweetener.

OK, if you are still with me, what can you eat? In a nutshell you replace the carbs you have removed with protein and green leafy vegetables. Do not mix protein only 1 per meal. This is what you can eat. Lean meat, poultry, fish, cheese, yoghurt and eggs are your permitted proteins. Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts, broccoli, capsicum, mushroom, celery, zucchini and a small amount of tomato. You can have unlimited amounts of lettuce and cucumber but ONLY at meal times. You can use balsamic vinegar as a dressing; mustard is ok too but only made from the powder. Shop bought is full of sugar! Curry powder in cooking can be used as well. One tablespoon of olive oil is ok per day, in cooking and as a dressing. Garlic is OK but not shop bought; you guessed it, full of sugar. Use fresh.

I will GUARANTEE if you stick to this you will loose heaps of weight, fast. I know it's not easy and you need the support of your family too.

Just another couple of things I forgot. NO breakfast cereal and avoid really heavy exercise you will just burn glycogen in your muscles, not fat and it will just make you sore and tired. You need prolonged gentle exercise to burn fat like walking. You don't need to exercise at all on this diet as long as you're moving about. Last but not least read food labels and look at the ingredients. Avoid foods like the plague with more than 5 grams of carbohydrate per 100 grams. If you like a drink, Semillon Sauvignon Blanc (very dry and low in carbs) with a little soda water is OK with meals.

Good Luck. Jules, lecturer. Australia.

It sounds like you are not eating enough. You may laugh but it's completely true. I went on a diet once (don't believe in them anymore and am happy and healthier than I've ever been) and I couldn't believe the amount I had to eat! Was all healthy food but plenty of it and I lost 3 stone. If you are starving your body any calories you are taking in will store immediately as fat. I'd say you need to be intaking at least 1,200 calories but it depends on your weight, frame etc. Do you really need to lose weight? See your doctor for advice. Eating only two bowls of special k a day and salad and yogurt in the evening is not going to benefit you in the longrun. Apart from the fact it's not enough food you need some protein in there. The lack of vitamins will also have an effect on your skin, nails, bones, etc etc. As I said seek professional advice. Good luck!

Hoodia suppresses the hunger response. It can be found in some nutrition stores and specialty stores. It has been used for ages in Africa. Also, proper nutrition (NOT A DIET) and exercise works. A good tip: buy a kids plate that is portioned and make sure to eat only one plateful; keeping within serving portions within each section. :) Good luck, losing weight is a hard fight.

Answer 10

Here's my personal 5 rule plan.

1. The five pound rule - anytime you gain more than five pounds, refocus,and lose ten pounds (unless you are below your goal weight of course). Losing ten pounds does not take long, and allowing yourself five a five pound buffer prevents you from going off your plan for too long.

2. No junk food in the home rule. Don't keep junk food in the home. If you want it, go and get it. As in walk to the store.

3. Replace junk food with fruit and nuts.

4. Go for a hal hour walk every day.

5. Eat smaller portions.

It's all about creating habits and a healthy lifestyle that you can manage.
