Question

How do people do it? I got abs because I was able to exercise all the time, now I don't have time so I have to diet because I the way I eat could get me fat real fast, help!

Answer 1

If you can't control WHAT you eat right now, control your portions. Don't eat until you wanna explode.

Slowly make better choices in what you eat. Over time, you will develop good eating habits. It won't happen overnight. If it does, you will fail.

Answer 2

Just a simple little change in your diet can go a long way, for example, going from regular soda to diet soda can cause incredible weight loss. A little change that I suggest is not eating any carbs past 8pm. This little change can help your body not rely on carbs for metabolism and instead find other sources such as glycogen, or better yet, fat. This at the very least will help stabilize your weight.

Answer 3

best thing to do before hand is stock your fridge with only healthy food so when you feel the munchies you'll have grapes or a fruit or even nuts on hand to munch on. The other thing is not to carry spare change with you that might tempt you into waking into a store for junk food. If you watch TV that is the best time to get an extra work out in by just marching in place or dancing to the commericals .. sounds silly but it does work. Cut out sodas and juices out of your diet and you'll be suprised how much you get accomplised in terms of maintaining a diet without trying to hard.

Excercise- DO NOT do anything tedious or you will lose interest FAST. find something you love to do and stick with it. I cannot run on the track by myself because i find it too boring, and eventually i hate it and want to skip it. same goes for running on a treadmill, or doing simple workouts alone (pushups, crunches, lunges). Find something like xc trail running, rock climbing, road biking or mountain biking. Serious roadies (dont have to be a racer) can eat pretty much anything they want, since they burn it all up cycling 100-200 miles a week or even more depending on your program. The trick is to find something you love, that way you want to do it. And when you know that running on the track or doing pushups will help you get better in that activity, you wont mind doing it.

Food- dont do any special diet or what not. You see all the europeans are skinny and we wonder why. it is because they simply dont eat as much as we do. hamburgers, hot dogs were both invented in Germany. the French are pastry gods, and the Italians eat heavy ice cream (gelato). They simply dont eat as much. A steak for them is half your hand, while children here eat 1/4 pounders. True what you eat matters, but not as much as how much you eat. By all means, dont eat junk food or drink soda, and if you must, dont eat all of it. And dont start eating half portions all at once, slowly adjust yourself to it, eating one or two less bites each meal each day, for example. Dont belive any of these hyped up diet fads, they all work, but can you really live like that for the rest of your life? making your body adjust to smaller portions is somethign you can live with, because you will be full and cant eat whole burger anymore. Before this golden age of advertising, we americans were thin too. but since then, mc donalds has taken over, followed by diet programs. do you really think they people who write those books or make those meals want you to be not fat? No, thats why they make a series of books, and sell those foods, because you cant live like that forever. You will get skinny, and then boom, you will slip and become fat again, thinking that this worked before, lets do it again and the cycle contintues.

Simply find an activity you love, and eat less.
