Has anyone lost any weight recently, if yes how did u do it and what did u eat daily??

Answer 1

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:)

i lost a lot of weight and got in a very good shape following this
before i put this all info together for myself i did a lot of yo-yo dieting, lost and gained, as many have, until i realized that diet is a way of life not a sprint.

Answer 2

I am reposting again but read up. Its all about the proteins baby. (see how i subd benjamins for proteins... I'm so smart)

This is my plan... It works for me and I am not a doctor... However it is based on the food pyramid, so it is not a fad diet. It is a way of life for me...The plan I describe below will not only lose you weight, but it will cut out the bloating which is a whole bunch of inches on your waste line. I lost 5 inches in the first month. I went from a 42 to a tight 36 in the first 4 weeks. (All boating was gone in the first two weeks) Remember that I have cut out almost all meat and eat mostly raw fruits and veg. Only sushi once a week, and I started the first week with a 7 day juice fast (see your doctor for advise). On my Juice fast I took in a max of 1200 calories a day for the first week. 200 cals of those was a balanced protein shake by Boost to make sure i was getting all the vits and minerals. (and a multi vit)

Cut out 500 to 750 calories a day from the recommended values below, while either not cutting the nutrition, or cutting it as little as possible. Do this by eating nutritionally dense foods. You will lose it in not time. I also recommend juice fasting one day a week. That will cut out a 1000 calories on that day if you drink the right juices.
It will also let your digestive system rest for that day and you will lose bloating that is so common in our bodies nowadays. Friday is my day. I call it fasting Fridays and I celebrate day because on that day I stand up and say "I have control over food. it does not control me!" (and I tell everyone!)

On a 2000 calorie diet (women) 2500 (men) 50 to 60 grams. These should be mostly veg/fruit protein. I would recommend only a max of 10 from lean meat. The average person should get 50g protein and 300g carbs. As an example rice has 10g protein and 44g carbs. If you ate 1 to 2 cups of rice a day with broccoli and olive oil you would have roughly 40% of a healthy diet. The key to losing weight is getting to the numbers grams you need with the minimum calories. Eat nutritionally dense food like rice and stay away from food that have alot of calories, but are low in the grams of protein, good carbs, and good fats. Here is the rule of thumb if it grows on the ground, or walks on the ground, or swims... It is good! If not... Don't put it in your mouth. Ever seen a bread tree??? Here is the amendment to the rule. If it has a face... Eat it sparingly. The Chinese are on average fit and trim, have low diabetes and heart disease, and take in a small fraction of the animal protein that an average American does. (That means milk, butter and cheese too) ((I would not put butter or milk in my body under any circumstance. It would be better to eat steak once a month.))

Answer 3

I've lost 17.8lbs in a month, using Diet Power. The best and most sustainable way of losing weight is to cut your calorific intake while maintaining a balanced diet.
Water will cleanse your system and help you not to eat so frequently. But if you drink to much you risk losing water soluable vitamins.

Answer 4

The only healthy way to lose weight is through exercise. A controlled diet helps, certainly, but only so much without exercise.

Remember, to burn the most fat you need muscle, and diet alone cannot develop muscle.

A good diet along with an exercise program that includes both cardiovascular exercise (read: treadmill or cross-trainer) and weight-training to develop muscle (read: nautilus - type machines) will provide the fastest and most healthy type of weight loss.

Answer 5

diet accounts for at least 80% of weight loss.....eat small meals regularly (every 2 1/2-3 hours).....never skip a meal.....cut back on alcohol.....reduce sugar......and eat about 13g fat, 120g carbs and 140g protein daily........try to limit daily calories to 1200....
Hope that helps!
