Dieting???

Question

is it okay to diet for three days and then eat normal for one day? I read its good because it shakes up your metabolism or something like that

Answer 1

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 2

Some say that your body goes into starvation mode when you diet, and so any amount of fat/sugar etc you comsume while your body is in this mode will immediately be stored to use for later (ie when you are dieting). So 3 days on, 3 days off may not be the best for weight loss as what you lose, yr body will atempt to recover on the days you are not dieting.

Answer 3

You should try just cutting back on the amount of food you eat instead of just dieting for 3 days and then eating normal. It worked for me. I knew I was eating way too much so I just started cutting back on the amount of food I ate and I ended up losing weight.
