Can you give me tips on losing weight? I take Celexa...?

Question

I am 31 years old and not very active. I eat an apple for breakfast, a salad or sandwhich normally for lunch and a small dinner, not really any snacks and if I do it's pretzels or veggies. I drink 64 oz. of water a day and I am still gaining. I was walking 2 miles a day until I figured it wasn't helping me lose weight and I quit. I have recently been put on Celexa and that means it could be making me gain more weight. What can I do to get some of this weight off and still take my Celexa for depression?

Answer 1

Celexa made me gain weight too. But in the scheme of things it's better to be heavy and not depressed than depressed and thin.

I'd go back to exercising, not only will it help you burn calories and lose fat, but it helps with the depression too! Try the walking and if you can, work up to running. The 'runners high' is real and can really make a difference in your mood. Be sure to get good running shoes so you don't hurt your feet.

You also are probably not eating enough. If you body thinks it's starving it will actually store fat on very little calories. A higher protein diet works for me. I have a protein shake (protein powder and skim milk) every morning and try to get some protein in every meal.

If you can afford it, a trained nutritionist can help you.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)
