Answer 1

It should, also here is a recipe you can make:

INGREDIENTS
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 carrots, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
4 1/2 cups water
4 cubes vegetable bouillon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cumin
1 1/2 tablespoons seasoned salt
1 (29 ounce) can hominy, drained
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Place the potatoes, carrots, and celery in a pot with enough lightly salted water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook about 10 minutes, until slightly tender. Drain, and set aside.
Place the 4 1/2 cups water and vegetable bouillon cubes in a pot. Bring to a boil, and cook until bouillon cubes have dissolved. Remove from heat, and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Saute the onion and garlic until tender. Season with chili powder, cumin, and seasoned salt. Mix in the potatoes, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir about 2 minutes, until heated through. Mix in the water and dissolved bouillon cube mixture, hominy, and diced tomatoes with green chiles. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Answer 2

Girls need at LEAST 1500 calories a day to keep a good, healthy weight. You know what's a good idea? Talk to your doctor about a metabolic test. It can tell you how many calories your body needs to maintain the weight you are at. To loose weight, cut off 250 calories from that number. You should loose 1-2 lbs. a week. Be smart; eat right and exercise. I do like your idea of eating smaller, more frequent meals each day. I can't really comment on the intake of fat, though.

Answer 3

I like your idea of spacing each meal 4 hours apart.
Here are some good ideas:

Losing weight:
1. Do something that gets your heart rate up a bit like, walking, running, biking, and swimming.
2. Eat Whole, Organic foods like: Broccoli, Cabbage, Organic Brown Rice, Spinach, Sweet Potato, Apples, and other fruits and vegetables in their Natural State.
3. Avoid eating corn, white bread, white rice, candy, sodas, chips, and anything else that you already know you shouldn’t be eating.
4. Drink clean water as your beverage of choice. Avoid Fruit drinks and fruit juices (unless YOU juice them yourself)
5. Stop smoking, drinking beer & wine, and drinking coffee.
6. Get 8 hours of sleep each night.
7. Hang out with people who want to be healthy.

Tone up the muscles:
1. Join a gym and get a trainer.
2. If you’re short on cash, start a light stretching & yoga regimen.
3. Do push-ups, and light dumbbell curls for the upper body.
4. As I said above, walk, run, swim, and or bike.
5. Take an aerobics class, a yoga class, or some other fitness class.
6. Join the local YMCA..

Mental Health:
1. Get a friend to talk to each day about your feelings.
2. If you have some money or insurance, get a counselor to talk to.
3. Learn how to meditate.
4. Join a support group for the issue you’re dealing with.
5. Ask your Higher Self (or God) for guidance.

Answer 4

WTH is a stone?!?!?!?!

The best thing you can do to lose weight is to increaseyour exercise while cutting calories. If you cut back so low (800 cal is your plan), you will just stall your metabolism and your body will "hang on" to every precious calorie it gets. I wouldn't go under 1200 calories a day in 3 meals and a snack.

Answer 5

800 total calories is not enough to keep your body healthy; especially on a protein deficient vegan diet. Eat a little more and exercise for best results.

Answer 6

Try eating six small meals a day that's low in carbs and high in proteins. Fruits and vegetables is also great and plenty of water. also try to excise daily only if its 30 min a day

Answer 7

no, the average person needs 2000 calories a day to stay healthy, 800 is way too little.

Answer 8

That's not enough calories. Your body will go into starvation mode.

Answer 9

sounds good will try it as well.

Answer 10

for sure good luck !
