Answer 1

Trust me on this one...
Weight loss is not about one week or one day. It's about making a lifestyle change. During the time you are trying to lose weight, the number on the scale may go up and down several times before you reach your goal. You may also fall off the horse many times. Don't get discouraged because if you stick with it, the weight will eventually come off. If you have a bad day, don't let it ruin what you have started. Just get right back on track and don't dwell on the mistake. There are 365 days in a year. One bad day a month, still leaves you with 353 days to make it work. If you gain a few pounds back here and there, remember how far you have come so far and keep pushing. Don't expect to lose everthing overnight. A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. In addition a steady healthy weight loss will better ensure that you will keep the weight off once you've lost it.

In case you were wondering- yes I have been on my own weight loss journey. Two years ago I started Weight Watchers and lost 35 pounds in 9 months. Since then I have kept most of it off but gained a bit back as a side effect to a medication. It was hard to gain weight back but I am prepared to do what it takes to lose it again. Like I said, it's a lifestyle change and needs to be nurtured to be successful. Good luck!

It all depends on what you do today to correct that mistake and it is ok to binge once in a while but don't make a habit of it. It also a state of mind if you constantly think you are going to gain it back you will if you make a the decision to not gain the weight back.

Answer 3

No its not like as soon as you eat something you gain weight. Really all you have to do is burn more calories then you eat. Which sounds simple and it is somewhat. Always leave your body wanting more, be a little hungry. Then when you do have days that you just pig out you wont feel right, you will feel like you have to workout.

If it makes you experience more beneficial and a lot less accountable then perchance you may upload 10 minutes or some thing to exercising recurring once you get decrease back. dont hardship :) xx

Answer 5

No relax just get back track and you will be fine. Staying on that overeating diet with no execise for awhile will cause damage, but not one day.

Answer 6

Hang in there! Just think, you improved your diet 86% this week. Keep up the good work.

Answer 7

A DIET IS NOT WHAT YOU EAT FOR A MONTH, ITS HOW YOU EAT REGULARLY!!!! If you continue eating healthy and working out everyday, one day of stuffing your face won't be that bad.

Answer 8

when you overeat, just eat normal and exercise for the next 2-3 days, then the weight will come back to normal. You have just 2-3 days to fix this or the weight will remain. Keep in mind the following:


Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.
Food-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.

High-fiber, low-calorie diets: Fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.

Liquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long-term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.

Fasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health.
No fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start:
Eat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients.

Get some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.

Include sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.

Choose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more than 30 percent of your total calories as fat calories, of which no more than 10 percent should be saturated fat calories.

Choose foods moderate in sugars. Foods that are high in simple sugars usually offer little nutritional value and will add unwanted calories.
