Is this healthy?

Question

I eat 5-6 small meals every day.

1. non falt milk
2. one order of pork dumplings (4 pieces=120 calories i think)
3. mango shake/juice/smoothie
4. yogurt
5. apple
6. 2-3 servings of vegetables

Is this healthy? Too little? I'm on a diet and I'm not even starving that much because of the things that I eat above! Is it healthy or not? If not, then what else do I have to put in my diet? Will these foods make me slimmer? (I exercise)

Oh, and I drink LOTS and lots of water, believe me. To sunflower, why avoid number 3? And I thought that it's better to eat many 5-6 small meals a day, instead of three?

Is this healthy or not?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE! :(

Answer 1

The diet is not bad FOR AWHILE, but I'd encourage you to be taking a high quality multivitamin to make sure you are getting the nutrients you need.

I'm a big advocate of a green-source type supplement...something made from fruits and vegetables (no calories...don't worry), rather than a synthetic vitamin. Such supplements provide not only the macronutrients you need, but also the lesser known micronutrients to help with absorption and utilization. There are many types out there. I have used Juice Plus and am now using Nanogreens.

Edit: I encourage you to ignore the answer above mine...you need the calories and nutrition from the shake given how restricted your diet is. Drinking extra water is certainly good however.

Answer 2

Yes this is bad for you. Being on a diet this low in calories will only let your body think that it starving so once you start eating normal again it will store the food as fat. Your body needs calories so your metabolism works well. I eat 5 times a day and I exercise which helps me and I feel great.

This is my Diet.

1. Yogurt, Oatmeal called weight control, fruit

2. fruit

3. weight watchers meal are something like it with lots of raw veggies.

4. veggies are an apple

5. anything as long as my portions size is small

I also drink lots of water and no pop.

Answer 3

I would increase my fiber, lose the mango shake drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water per 12 hr. period. If you keep your current diet up you will lose weight but will hurt other areas of your body that need extra nourshment that can be found in a proper diet..looks like your intake now is about 1000 to 1200 calories..not healthy sooner or later something is going to give and you will be sick..Good Luck
