Can anyone recomend me a good diet? I dont want a quick-lose weight gain it later diet....?

Question

I want to lose weight but I want to do it for good

Answer 1

at last - somebody who understands what diet means - its the way of life not a sprint.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
dont try to lose more than 1-2lbs a week - its not healthy to lose more.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried - no junk food.

Hi my name is Sharon,

I have been helping people lose weight for a long time.

Remember that you will need to change eating habits to keep off the weight you lose on any plan.

My plan uses fruits, veggies, meats and no drugs. You shrink your stomach on this plan and eat great foods so you can change how you eat easier. I know how hard it is to lose weight and this program gets you going and keeps you movated because you feel better and still lose weight quickly.

I currently have 6 ladies on my program. The first week results in lbs are Jamie 6.5, Lou 7, Cecelia 9, Tammy 7 and Jessica 6. Their ages are 18 - 47.

This program uses a great combination of foods that will give you results and I show you what to eat. You choose the things you like.

The program is a 3 week program and you can lose up to 24 lbs if that is your goal.

I usually help girls that are getting married and want to lose before the wedding. I have also helped girls before spring break and currently prom.

The program does not use drugs of any kind. If you want to reach me by phone let me know and I will provide my number. I am in Arkansas

I have a website that I am building to market the diet. You can see the program at www.bellaviadiet.com.

Send me an e-mail if you have other questions or decide to use my program. That way I can send it to your email and you can get started ASAP.

Best Wishes and Success

Answer 3

To take/KEEP weight off lose 1-2 pounds a week max 5.Don't do one of those diets where you do a ridiculous amount of exercise that you would never be able to maintain in the future.If you like to calorie count --don't have less than 1200 cal/day. Do not try the eat only this or the starvation diet--your body needs fuel for the exercise.Plus it slows down your metabolism when you do not fuel your body because it thinks it's going through famine and tries to hold on to every calorie. Eat 3 small/medium meals a day--and 2 snacks

I used sparkpeople.com they reccomend a diet for your body weight, height, etc.I have lost 40 pounds and kept it off. They let you modify the diet so you can exclude certain foods you do not like or have at home or have allergies to and reccomend that you replace it with any one from a list with similiar nutritional values.You do not have to calorie count--they do it for you.

They also tell you a healthy amount of weight to lose in a certain time period.

They'll also reccomend to you an exercise program that you can also modify if you do not like certain exercises--they reccomend different ones that work the same muscles.
You get to track your progress.
anyways it's free

another thing that I have found to help me is NOT to completely cut out any food group--moderation is best for me--so I might have only one or a half of a food that is tempting me.Some people will say no carbs, no fat, etc that is not healthy in the long run for your body--if you choose something like this try LOW instead of NO. Some of my friends went on No fat diets for example and their hair began to thin.just be careful, reasonable and realistic with your goals

Answer 4

There is nothing like a good diet but there is something like a balanced diet. Cut out sodas totally they have too much sugar and eat in moderation. Add fruits to your diet and try avoiding juice concentrates. Walking in the park or even walking your dog burns calories and genes helps too.

Answer 5

absolutely start here...

Step 1: Find out what your basal metabolic rate is. Goto http://health.discovery.com/tools/calculators/basal/basal.html
This is the amount of calories you need to eat to maintain your current weight.

Step 2: Do you exercise? Do you exercise right? Exercising right means that you monitor your heart rate and make sure that you reach your target heart rate and maintain it for the longest period of time while exercising. You have two targets a fat burn zone and an cardiovascular zone. The fat burn is usually 60% of your maximum an d is easier to achieve and maintain and if your goal is weight loss this is where you want to be. Just walking/excising is a good start but if you want to get the most out of your work out find out what your target range is. If you don't belong to a gym then I recommend the
Polar Fitness F11 Heart Monitor Watch.

Step 3: You need to decrease your caloric intake or increase the amount of calories your body uses in a day by 500 calories a day for a week to lose 1 pound. So you can decrease that basal number you got in step 1 by 500 calories and exercise very little(yes you still need to exercise). Or you can decrease it by 250 and exercise off 250 calories or any other combination. Remember that your basal number is the amount of calories you body needs to live. If your number were 2400 then your body burn 100 calories per hour. So if you walk for half an hour and burn 300, 50 of that is your basal.

Step 4: Count your calories, it's not hard and you'll find out that you eat a lot of the same things on a daily basis so you won't have to research everything over and over again. Balance what you eat(equal parts carbs and protien whenever possible) . One of the best websites out there is one from the FDA. http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/
This database has almost every food on the planet counted and weighed. (Hint: they do a lot of their weights based on 100grams. If you put 0.28 in the serving size this equals 1 ounce). Get a reliable food scale, preferably digital. Weigh everything that you put in your mouth that is not prepackaged. You need to know what you’re eating and how much you’re eating. The number one mistake is "eating healthy". Everyone thinks because it's "healthy" the portion isn't that important. A handful of peanuts is "healthy" and has nearly 250 calories! Eat enough calories and it won’t matter how "healthy" it is your going to gain weight.

Step 5: Adjustments and Variety. If you are doing your best and losing weight but your starving, increase the amount of calories your giving yourself by 100-200 calories a day. Losing weight and starving are not good bedfellows. If you starve eventually you will crack and lose the battle. The more types of exercises you do the more weight you will lose. You will work more muscles and keep your body guessing.

Step 6(optional): If you belong to a gym or have some free weights at home. Use them! Muscle takes up less space in your body than fat (pound for pound). A pound of fat sits
around and does nothing all day, while a pound of muscle, even at rest burns calories(increasing your basal metabolic rate).

Step 7: Sleep, Never underestimate the power of a goodnight sleep. Will power can crumble in a second if your going through your day tired. You end up with a diminished sense of self control and tend to “give in” to temptation.

Step 8: Find a distraction. Read a book, Ride a bike, Play a game. Whatever takes your mind off of food, do it. You will need something that you can turn to in a moment of weakness. Something that will distract you for a half an hour so that your will can reassert itself and help you to make a rational decision.


Good luck!!!

Answer 6

Diet and exercse. Try a personal trainer for a few sessions and ask alot of questions.

Answer 7

Having less than 1 200 calories a day may slow down your metabolism

Answer 8

i think a safe diet is take away sugars ( Carbohydrates ) which is alot of thing potato's are very bad for that they turn into sugar. diet is called low carb's u can eat all the meats just loose sweets.

Answer 9

if you want to do it for good don't use the word diet. it's a lifestyle change. just think of everything your're going to change is "for keeps". 5 small meals instead of 3 large ones. veggies instead of fries. water instead of anything else. one beer instead of 6. breakfast as opposed to not. fiber filled cereal instead of sugar filled kids cereal. spray butter and salad dressing...the kind you pour or spread will kill any effort fast. these changes are doable forever.
