Question

from taking the pill for 9 months. It has left me bloated and the weight wont come off). Is there a specific diet i should take so i can shed the weight. I don't eat sugar or fat anyway. SO i guess i probably need another type of diet.

Answer 1

my friend was on hormone pills, and started gaining weight. Her doctor said that the weight is stubborn when caused by these meds, and the only thing that will take it off is extreme exercise -- and I quote "run like a bear is chasing you...and do it every day." Her Dr. further noted that the more weight she gained, the more diluted the effects of her hormone pills. She started working out and looks great now, but she really had to work HARD.

This doesn't really give you the answer, but when considering a change in diet you would be advised to contact your GP first.

The body requires a balanced diet whether you're slimming or not. If you don't add sugar or fat to your diet you should ensure you're getting these things elsewhere.

I imagine if it's the pill that has affected your weight then it's slowed your metabolism. You can regulate your metabolism by eating the right meals in the right order. In the UK we are brought up to have a small breakfast, a light lunch and a main meal in the evening. This is the wrong way round.

To prevent your diet from 'confusing' your body, you should have a healthy breakfast perhaps of cereal or toast with some fruit juice to give your body the vitamins, minerals and energy it needs to start your day.

You should balance this with a sensible lunch with a good mixture of protein (meats/dairy), carbohydrates (bread/pasta/potatoes/rice etc) and fibre (fruit and vegetables). Make sure you eat enough at lunch.

In the evening, you shouldn't need a full meal because you've probably not used all the energy you've already taken in during the day. Something light is a good idea. Make sure you get enough fibre. If you're still hungry before you go to bed, try and wait until breakfast and then eat more. If you eat before you go to bed then your body will store that food rather than use it, because you'll be sleeping, not exercising. This will gain you weight.

Also drink plenty of fluids during the day. Water is recommended and is preferrable to fizzy drinks or coffee. Tea might not be too bad, but try and drink decaffeinated tea if possible.

Lastly, as I've just touched upon - exercise is important. Even walking somewhere instead of taking the car, or using stairs instead of a lift etc. You shouldn't need to make the time to go to the gym or do exercise - just think about different ways of getting about etc.

I hope this helps. Your body's natural weight has been shifted by the introduction of new hormones, so either you find ways to enjoy your new weight, or you'll have to take steps to make your own adjustments, but it probably won't be easy to begin with. Change never is. But when you get used to it, it should hopefully work out for you - I hope it does!

Answer 4

I lost 65 pounds on the Atkins Diet and you don't go hungry either. It relies on reducing your carbohydrate intake. It really works but, you have to follow it faithfully!

Answer 5

Consider adding Stack Body Tune Up to your diet. I have lost 33.5 pounds since July 15, 2006.

If I can be of further assistance, let me know.
