i need to lose weight and i need a good diet plan! Got one?

Answer 1

Dump all sweets, fats, and carbs and concentrate on protein. At the same time, vastly increase your metabolism via extreme exercise until your heart is racing fast for at least 30 minutes a day.

Answer 2

Stay off carbs!!! I cannot even tell you how important that is. You're supposed to have 1/4 of your body weight in carbs. So, if you weigh 120, then you should only have 30 carbs per DAY, to maintain that weight. And if you want to loose weight, then have less than 30 carbs a day. The average person has way more than that...if a twinkie has 48 carbs, then think about how much everything else has. AND, stay off of sweets. I know its hard, but I lost 20 lbs. in 1 month! Good luck!

Answer 3

find daily calorie intake 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 - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta 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:)

Answer 4

I started First Place (www.firstplace.org) two days ago. I am really enjoying it!!

It is a Christian weight loss program.

I would warn you off of any program that says "don't eat carbs" because you can seriously damage your kidneys by putting your body through ketosis. Bread IS okay... choose whole grains, and stay away from "white"... white bread, white sugar, white grapes, white potatoes. Eat real food... you'll do great!

I also joined the Y... ours offers two free hours of daycare for moms working out every day. My aerobics class is tough, but sweat is honest... you can't fake sweat!!!!

I'm losing baby weight now, and I'm looking forward to getting back into shape. I hope you have as much fun as I'm having!

Answer 5

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
http://www.mylnation.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 6.95$ shipping and handling. Good luck!

Answer 6

eat more fiber and protein. cut food intake but DO NOT STARVE <-- real impt. eat less but more frequently and drink lots of water (i forgot the ratio but when i was 50kg i took 2 literss a day) to increase metabolism rate.

yea do cardio as luey said, and stay off sweets n fatty stuff as monkey3_6_9 said too.

reason for not starving is so your body won't bounce back up to fat-gaining right after you stop starving, or dieting.

best is to adapt a good diet for the rest of your life, for the long time..

yupps :D

Answer 7

Hi:

The most important principles in weight loss include 1) reducing your daily caloric intake, and 2) increasing physical activity. It's not necessary nor appropriate, and can even be counter-productive to deny yourself all of your favorite kinds of food.

There is no ideal "miracle diet", no matter what the books or internet may claim. Fasting can be dangerous and should always be avoided...at the very least, it's a futile effort, because if you sharply cut your calorie intake, your body will go into starvation mode, so you'll actually burn fewer calories as you exercise, and you can damage your muscles and tissues as well.

Some dietary adjustments can be helpful. Cutting down on animal-derived foods or switching to a vegetarian diet is a good move, as it will contribute to your overall health, as long as you appropriately supplement your protein, iron, and calcium intake needs. Cutting out or drastically reducing your carbs is a bad move. Our bodies need the fuel from these types of food, and they also help lead to feelings of satiety after eating. Strive for complex carbs, like pastas and bread products. Brown rice, for example, is a great filler. It has the added benefit of higher fiber than white rice, which will not only provide health benefits, but also, will help you to feel fuller longer. Just make any dietary changes gradually, especially if adding fiber, to reduce the chances of gas or loose stool.

Check the caloric contents of your favorite foods, especially when going to restaurants. Avoid fast foods...You can pack a salad, some soup, or a sandwich on whole-wheat bread for lunch, rather than going to the cafeteria or eating out. Keep the junk food out of your home. There are plenty of low-fat, lower-calorie snacks on the market today. Saltines, pretzels, lightly-buttered or salted popcorn, raisins, and cereal can all be good, healthy snacks, as can fresh fruits and vegetables. Use fat-free butter sprays instead of regular margerine or butter, and spices to season. Do not rely solely on "low fat" versions of foods to help you to lose weight. Foods containing very low levels of fat can still be high-calorie, so that's where you need to focus more of your attention.

Remember, drinks count too! You might be surprised to learn that some of the beverages that you may find at Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, etc contain very high calorie and fat levels...sometimes, bringing you up to or exceeding your daily limit in one beverage!

Increase your physical activity as well - This doesn't have to be painful, nor should it be. Ask your doctor for suggestions as to what's safe for you, depending on your health and medical conditions. Walking or running can be good calorie-burning activities, as can swimming or bicycling. You could also join an exercise or dance class, take riding lessons, or play with your kids or dog outdoors on nice days. Try to pick activities which you can do for 30 minutes on most days, or vary them so that you won't get bored.

Avoid committing to something that you suspect will be hard to stick with...such as, going to a kickboxing class at seven pm weeknights after you've been working or juggling the kids all day is probably not going to work for long. Or, ordering a treadmill and keeping it folded up in the closet, saying that you'll use it "tomorrow" is not a good plan either. If you join a fitness club, you may feel more motivated to go because you're paying for it. If you can exercise with kids, pets, or friends, you'll feel an obligation (and hopefully, a sense of enjoyment!) to continue with it. Walk or bike wherever you can, and do take the stairs...every little bit helps!

If you fail to lose weight (1-2 lbs/week is a good goal) after making a conscious effort to increase activity and decrease calories for one month or more, talk to your doctor. If your thyroid or another hormonal level like cortisol is out of balance, then it may hamper your weight loss plan. These results can be obtained by simple bloodwork.

Take care,

Kimberly
