I want to lose 4 kg (8 pounds) And I have a plan that im going to try.?

Question

My idea plan is: to eat 3 balanced meals per day, not counting callories but just being sensible about my choices! example

Breakfast: bowl cerial and banana or other piece of fruit

Lunch: Sandwich (lowfat versions of meat cheese )
low fat yougurt

Dinner no counting of calories but just sensible portion &
nothing fried. for example oven fries instead of fried.

Evening Something nice with tea, Slice of cake or few low fat
range cookies.

Exersise: 30 mins walk per day and some hand weights. and extra 30 mins if the evening treat is higher in callories and fat.

Im going to get the 30 mins walk done during my lunch break at work. and the other 30 mins if needed by getting of the train from work to home 30 mins earlier and walking the rest.

I will write here again each week for the next 4 weeks to let you know if I have had success with this plan or not :)

Let me know what you all think of this plan !

Answer 1

Sounds like a good, sensible plan. Good luck!

Answer 2

Sounds like a really good plan, the only advise I would give you is to have the banana in between breakfast and lunch, or in the afternoon or both to keep your sugerlevel even. This will help you from slipping because you are really hungry at lunch or dinner.

Also, make sure that you try to keep the tempo up when you are walking, you should be getting warm. Wear sensible shoes, and bring your Ipod or something, make it into a break away from work thoughts.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

You've obviously thought this through, but do beware of things like oven chips as they are much more potent than you think, as are low fat cookies which are generally high in sugar
Your walking plan is good
Why not try a wheat and dairy free diet though and drink hot lemon water instead of tea - I lost 8lbs in the first week on this -it does brilliant things for your body, energy levels and moods, and it gives your system a rest from all the rubbish stuff, you will positively glow.
Or, if you still want to go ahead with your own plan...then good luck, I'll look forward to hearing the results

Answer 4

Low fat cookies usually contain loads of sugar, here is a recipe for a healthy alternative as long as you have a food processor

1 cup porridge oats
1/2 cup dried dates, chopped
1/3 cup dried coconut
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbs honey
enough water to mix about a 1/3 of a cup

Process all ingredients well to a reasonably dry mix. Roll into balls with your hands and flatten into biscuits. Chill in fridge for about 1/2 hour. Don't cook.

I know this sounds strange but the fridge dries them out slightly and they harden. Once dryish wrap in foil and keep in fridge. Makes about 8 biscuits. Only have two a day.

Apart from the evening cookies or cake everything else seems fine. Good luck

Ok i am glad that you ask i used to weight 265 yes it was hard to climg starirs or anything else no engry at all.

I started cooking Indian foods which are healthy not a lot of friend foods and if i did have some fried chicken i will pour white vingar on it to cut the grease and trust it taste so good.you will see the grease off that chicken in your bowl.
bake food is another great thing to do,light seasoning,to taste for the meat slow cook again the grease will fall into the pan and you can get one of those pans that drips the grease in the pan.

Answer 6

Its okay. I say this because you will be tempted by the fatty foods. If you just look at the nutrition label, it will tell you the number of calories from fat, calories, trans fat etc. If you see this you will realize that this is bad. But if you dont read, then you will be tempted. For example, you assign chips for part of a meal one day. I mean those big bags. You end up eating more chips then required because you are not counting the calories

Answer 7

This is what I know from my own experience and I hope it helps you. Good Luck!

Fresh food is always better than "low fat" (i.e. processed) foods, so real meat & cheese (just in moderation)

Also, dark chocolate is healthier than milky chocolate or processed foods like cakes & cookies.

Salads (with a simple olive oil (& balsamic) dressing) and more of your favourite vegatables & fruits are good.
I try to eat more "power" vegetables, such as tomatoes, brocolli (i like it fried in olive oil), onions & garlic (roasted - its not so smelly!)

Herbs: make things taste great and have beneficial effects.

Pasta: good, slow release energy, with a litttle olive oil & grated parmesan (not too much of either)

I try not to mix carbs & fats/proteins: e.g. less bread in your sandwich & avoid foods that are a mix of carbs & fats/proteins - the reason is the carbs give quick energy & the body is satisfied so it stores the fats&proteins (e.g. meat, cheese) as fats.

I find it is best to have one or the other: e.g. proteins on their own with good vegetables (which are usually neither carbs or fats, apart from a few), or carbs like pasta with other carbs like jam/honey.

Moderate regular exercise is great for you - as it helps to get your cardiovascular systems going, avoiding health problems.

The type of exercise you are doing will not but on muscle bulk so don't worry. You should feel more toned & generally fitter.
If you do more & more exercise you will convert fat into healthy muscle.

Water: good to drink a few litres a day if you can (maybe add lime/lemon?) (better than tea/coffee & avoid soft, processed drinks etc.)

Friends: it is great to share the experience with friends or a partner who really supports you. It can be hard being motivated all the time so lean on each other.

Diary: not essential, but it can really help to see how far you have come - especially if the going gets tough!

Slowly, slowly: yes, a healthy diet is a life-long gift to yourself, you don't need to rush.

Overall, enjoy the experience, enjoy life, smile & feel great!

p.s. And if you have any problems at all, just check it out with a doctor - it pays to get their help, too.

You don’t need to exercise for hours on end. Short, sharp sets of exercise will produce better results in case you work hard. Get a skipping rope, skip for two minutes, do push ups for about a minute, skip for two minutes, rest first minute. Then change the push as much as something else like sit ups as well as do the set again. Repeat it five times and it’s a rapid, effective workout that will recover results than a long run or swim.

Answer 9

You don’t need to exercise for hours on end. Short, sharp sets of exercise will produce better results in case you work hard. Get a missing rope, skip for two a few minutes, do push ups for about a minute, skip for two minutes, rest first minute. Then change the push nearly something else like sit ups in addition to do the set again. Repeat it five times and it’s a simple, effective workout that will improve results than a long work or swim.

Answer 10

Sounds good to me. Here's another tip that you might like to try. Before going to bed each night have a glass of warm semi-skimmed milk with a teaspoon of honey in it. It helps you have a restful sleep, speeds up you metabolism and stops you from craving sweet stuff during the day.
Good Luck I might even try using the same diet I could do with losing about half stone.

Answer 11

Mustard is a secret bulge-buster. This boosts your metabolism and increases natural ephadrine, the hormone of which burns fat. According to Jeya Henry, professor of human nutrition from Oxford Brookes University, just a tablespoon within your food can reduce a flabby waist by 20 %!
