What would be considered a good healthy diet?

Question

I have been on a diet for a week now. I have been doing low carb, but still eating fruit. I have cut out all the fast food and sodas. I am also exercising. Think this will work? Any more ideas? Thanks.

Answer 1

Sounds like a good start...Make sure you are replacing the soda with water, the fries/chips with veggies, and the deserts with fruit. Make sure you eat breakfast and drink 100+ oz of water and keep exercising...You will do great!!!

PS...Even if something is low carb don't eat a whole bunch of it because it is still loaded with calories and fat.

Fat free and low fat stuff usually has more carbs...Just a rule to know...Eat in moderation.

Answer 2

I don't think it's a matter of low carb, but a matter of right carb. Make sure you avoid white bread, anything made with white flour. Instead eat WHOLE wheat, preferably split wheat. Avoid any white sugars, white rice, etc. It's preferable to not consume anything processed. Try to eat foods that are nutritious for your body, yet will exit it quickly. Fruit is great for that. I think you're on the right track. Keep doing what you're doing, keep exercising. Remember, what the scale says doesn't matter. How your clothes fit does. How you can see improvement in the mirror, does.
Keep it up soon you'll see great results.
Oh, don't forget to drink LOTS of water. At least 8 8oz. glasses a day. And if you crave some chocolate, eat a square or two of chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa. It actually has antioxidents which are good for you.

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.
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, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Your well on your way to the road to a healthy lifestyle that will result in a sleek, sculpted, and healthier YOU. Here are some tips and a program that I would recommend to anyone who needs help with time management, motivation,& flexibility when it comes to losing weight.

To lose extra fat from your stomach area, follow the tips I have listed below.

1.Eliminate red meat from your diet, it stays inside of your body for over six days and causes belly fat.

2.Take Flax oil, it flushes your body of toxins and excess weight

3.Drink 8 to 12 Glasses of water

4.Go for a walk on your lunch break. If you are unable to fit it in, walk when you come home from work with your family or friend.

5.Drink 2- 3 cups of green tea per day it is a metabolism booster.

6.Eat five to six smaller meals per day. Eating breakfast is extremely important.

7. Eat grapefruit and citrus fruit they can natural help you eliminate body fat.

8. Go to the library or bookstore and check out a book on rhythmic breathing exercises. This can help you lose that stubborn belly fat by increasing fat oxidation and causing muscle contractions in your stomach.

Although, these tips will help, I can tell you that when you are trying to lose weight, you will need something to fight the food cravings, burn excess fat, keep your mind and will focused, stay motivated, and feel fulfilled. When my patients come in for nutrition advice, I reccomend the B4A Extreme Weight Loss System. The system includes Hoodia and Soy Protein Supplements to suppress your appetite. A Green Tea Weight Loss Drink, customized fat burning workouts, and Pyruvate for fat burning, online counseling, scriptures. There are motivational tools for discipline and motivation. Plus, they give you online confidential assessments on how great you are doing and you get a variety of meal plans that includes every food you ever want to eat. There is no dieting and no restricted foods. There are no weekly weigh-ins. Moreover, there are no special foods you need to buy. Every thing is at your local grocer.

Speaking from experience, I have several patients that have lost anywhere from 25lbs to 153lbs safely and quickly. The B4A Weight Loss System is available at wwwdiscoverb4acom.
