Will this help me lose weight?

Question

All fruits/veggies, no sweets and excersize? Oh, and water/tea

Answer 1

Start yourself out by keeping a chart where you can tick off how many glasses of water a day you are consuming. For healthy habit 8-12 glasses of water daily is ideal. Try to intake about two glasses of skim milk daily. As for other drinks, stay completely away from other liquids like pop or juice-they contain more calories and sugar then you might imagine and do not fill you up like water or milk does. Eat a high protein breakfast like eggs, or meat, and a whole grain bread (one serving). This will help you feel a little more energized and not as hungry throughout the day. If you are really hungry for snacks, grab some complex carbs, like fruit, particularily grapefruit and try to stay away from starchy foods for the rest of the day. You don't have to starve yourself! Just eat healthy! Salads with low fat dressing and balsamic vinegar, whole grain pasta with fresh sauce, cabbage rolls, but everything in moderation! If you have to have an evening snack grab something fresh and crunchy like an apple, or a piece of celery. It sounds super boring, but it works and diets like repeatitiveness. Keep to something healthy and moderate you will begin to see the difference. Every metabolism is different so give it anywhere from 2 weeks to 10 weeks to see a major impact on your weight. I still hold strong to walking daily at a nice fast and vigorous pace, and at home videos like pilates (where there is sometimes very mild weight training), and do it for at least 30 min daily or three times a week to start. For something fun that you can do in the privacy of your own home, belly dancing really tones and strengthens the stomach muscles and along with the right diet you should notice a difference in that area. I also starting taking cayenne pepper pills and noticed a metabolism boost when having anything spicey. Good luck!

Answer 2

A proper diet is the best way to lose weight naturally and keep it off. You have to eat a varied adequate and balanced diet. Your body needs all kinds of food to function properly including fat in smaller quantities though. Your body needs the nutrients and vitamins in fruits and vegetables the most, that is what you should eat the most of (at least 5 servings a day). You also need protein, and a little fat. Reduce your intake of sweets, fried food and foods that contain a lot of fat. Don't drink too many alcoholic beverages or soft drinks (they have a lot of calories). Don't go to sleep right after you eat. And finally exercise at least 3 to 4 days a week for about 45 minutes.Good luck. You can also get more information about nutrition from this site:

Answer 3

Yes definitely. Dropping sweets, although not easy will definitely take away useless calories. Exercising will increase your metabolism which will help you to burn fat even when you not moving. Vegetables are low in calories and have lots of nutritional value as do fruits. Water has 0 calories and tea just a few.
The key is expending more energy that calories taken in.
Good luck.

Answer 4

Try not to drink too much tea. When you drastically change your diet it could lead to constipation and tea doesn't help. Tea is a diuretic it causes you to lose water. And water help you pass stool.

If you are not going to eat meat try and eat eggs and plenty of beans and peas. You'll need the protein and these foods are also high in protein.

Answer 5

Initially yes, but in the long run, its bound to fail. Balance carbs, proteins and fruits/veggies and sweets once in a while. Excersize not only helps you physically, but its a great way to release stress.

Answer 6

No. You will soon grow bored with these limited choices, and binge to fulfill your cravings. Instead, try to eat a balanced diet low in calories, but high in tastes and flavors.

Answer 7

those things r good but don't over do it u can eat regular food but minimize what u normally eat. u can get sick if u eat only fruits and veggies.and exercise three times a week. drink 8cups of water a day.its really good to loose weight. good luck

Answer 8

yes, but not in a healthy way. you will gain it back and may harm yourself in the process. sensible portions of sensible foods without cutting any one food group entirely out along with exercise will do the trick. keep it up!

Answer 9

Of course. But u have to remember to eat meat and grains or u wont be healthy which sometimes causes anorexia

Answer 10

yes it will but you should also have a little protein in your meal too.

If you are really watching out, have chicken...and don't eat the skin.
