What should I not eat when trying to lose weight?

Answer 1

'HOTTY' is right. Eating nothing is the last thing you want to do when dieting.
First off, when you first start your diet you should flush your body with all the nasty things. To do this you should eat foods that are loaded with antioxidants; like spinach, romaine lettuce, broccoli, blueberries, blackberries. Drink lots of water. Continue keeping these kinds of foods & water in your diet. Stay away from refined carbohydrates, like bread; pasta; rice. Most importantly you're going to want to dodge the fried (fries, fried chicken), processed (like hot dogs), oily (salad dressings), and high saturated & trans fat foods.

Make a list of things you want to buy at the store every time you find something that's healthy for you. Clean out your cupboards of junk food so you can't eat them. It's important to remember that if you don't buy something from the store, then you won't eat it because it won't be sitting there in the cupboard in front of your face. That's a tip I often use.

Technically, losing weight is all based in calories so you can basically eat whatever you want but you have to stay within a range of calories (calculated by your height and how much you exercise every day). I am 5'3 and I do minimal exercises everyday so I'm allowed 1600 calories a day before I start gaining weight. I can basically eat whatever I want as long as I don't surpass that. In order for me to lose weight, I have to eat 500 calories less than the 1600 which would help me lose about 1 pound per week.
However, if you want to be healthy (which improves your skin condition, overall well-being, cholerstoral etc.) you should lay off bread, desserts, sweets, and fats. Learn to like stuff steamed instead of fried. Sooner or later, you'll start liking the healthier stuff and a healthy lifestyle will become second nature. Good luck with this!

Truely cutting out certain foods for a short time to lose weight won't help. Change you eating habbits. You need to eat often and very small amounts. Eat until you are not hungry not until you are full. Its so hard at first but eventually you stomach actually gets smaller and you crave less.

I am 5'4" and 103. I eat everything I want and crave. Just small amounts. If I want cheesecake I don't deny myself it because if I do eventually I'll end up eating a whole cake or like 50 different foods trying to make up for the cheese cake craving.

But, if you insist on a crash diet no fried foods, or baked goods. Lots of fruits veggies chewing gum diet soda.
