What is a good diet that is healthy and easy to stick to?

Question

I've tried several diets. I really, really love the nutrisystem diet, but it was just really to expensive for me. I would like to hear your ideas and why you feel this way towards the diet you tell me about. If you've had any success with a diet, I'd love to hear about it. I'm just looking for an easy and fun diet that would work for me. I love to eat healthy, actually, I just love to eat. Any advice and (nice) thoughts you have about dieting & excersize I'd love to know. Thanks so much for taking time to answer my question. Have a great night!

Answer 1

SISSY!!! This is SOOO weird I LOVE YOU!

I think we should just eat Taco Bell All the Time.

Answer 2

um. pretty simple diet actually.

1- take your morning body weight and multiply it by 10, then round to the nearest hundred. this number is the amount of calories you should intake per day.
eg. morning body weight=125
125 x 10 = 1250
calorie intake = 1200

2-stay away from condiments, they are useless calories, use salt, pepper, and ketchup if you have to.

3-try not to use oil, or fat in your food. backed our steamed is best, less calories, less fat.

4- balance out your meals... just because your calorie counting doesnt mean you can eat 1200 calories worth of cake. balance fruit, veggies, and meat.

5- once a week its okay to have a treat. this way your body is actually working to burn off useless calories.

6- drink water instead of pop, or juice. every morning have a huge glass of water... wait 20 minutes, then eat some breakfast. make sure your always hydrated. drink LOTS of water.


to find a calorie list just look it up on yahoo or google or something. its really simple. dont forget to excersice too though. good luck!

oh. and to maintain your weight, multiply your morning body weight by 12. and try not to eat after 6pm.

Wheat and Gluten-free Diet. it's effective and it works. I've been on it for 50 or so days, and in less then a month I lost over 20 pounds. It is an awesome and totally healthy diet. I hope this helped!! And good luck!!

Answer 4

K. Hear me out here. This may sound like a stretch, but it's a great weight loss diet, and will keep you very healthy.

Breakfast: One Banana

Lunch: One serving of cottage cheese

Dinner: One banana and one serving of cottage cheese

Be sure to drink a lot of water, and if you have hunger pains, have some cottage cheese or a banana for a snack.

If you stick to this diet for only a couple of months, the weight should be gone in no time.

Good luck!

Answer 5

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.
