My weight fluctuates regardless of what I eat or do in terms of exercise. How can I find a diet to keep steady

Question

Im 5 feet tall and come in at 145 currently. I know that is way over where i should be at 5 feet, but no matter what I do I havent weighed less than 130 in years. I am comfortable at 130 (even 125 if possible). A few years ago I went from 160 to 130 in 2 months without even trying. It almost seemed like it happened overnight because I hadnt noticed that I was losing weight until I had gone all the way down to 130. I would love to do it again, but because I wasnt on a specific diet when I lost the weight, I dont know how to make it happen again.

Answer 1

for diet to work (to get permanent results) you have to make permanent changes in your lifestyle - diet and exercise
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 is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), weight training a few days a week but never work on the same muscle group two days in a row (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:)

I’m 5ft 9 and only weigh 126pounds this is what works for me;

Eat regularly, if possible every three hours, when your body realises that it's getting a regular supply of food it increases it's metabolism, burning calories quicker and is much less likely to store calories as fat. When eating try to eat a lot of high protein foods and don't go too hard on the carbs. Try go easy on trans and saturated fats although you are allowed the odd treat. Drink lots of water! At least one gallon per day. Tea, coffee and fizzy drinks are O.K but they don' count towards your overall water intake. Vegetables are also very important they contain vital vitamins and antioxidants so include plenty of these in your diet.

As for exercise I do some light weight training four days a week and cardiovascular (I use a rowing machine) two days a week with one days rest. There is a common belief that doing cardiovascular exercise on an empty stomach helps burn calories. This is absolute rubbish do not do it. Weight training is a good idea as muscle tissue burns a lot of energy, even while you sleep. You don't have to become Mr/Mrs universe but any fat tissue which you can convert to muscle tissue will not only make you look better but increase your metabolism. Getting plenty of sleep is also important when trying to build muscle.

Good Luck

I can see how you might be concerned about that level of fluctuation. You don't say but it might be a reflection of what is going on in your life. One way you can learn how this might be happening is to journal what you eat, faithfully, and keep track of your weight every two weeks; do this for about three months and then go back and see if anything stands out for you. You are very fortunate that you are able to go down and not just keep going up. It is entirely possible that the set point for your body is 130 and although that might not match some number on a chart it is probably the best weight for your body. You might have better answers for yourself if you are able to journal and do so consistently over the long haul...good luck.

Answer 6

Try low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein, and exercise. The foods are low caloried, and yet filling and healthy. Brisk walking is great for burning body fats.

It is my lifestyle now. I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs/14kg and gained better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs/49kg for more than a year, with more fruits and complex carbs.

Details such as my experience, meals, snacks, recipes, foods to buy, reading labels, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc,

Are you just sick of the regular diet plans were right after the diet program finish the further pounds are just coming and coming right after finish the diet plan? Are you experience the fact that after your body gets used to a diet then this diet program gets to be much less successful in excess of time due to the fact your physique adjusts to compensate?

Answer 8

Start food journalling, and pay attention to portion sizes. Most of us underestimate how much food / how many calories most of the time.

My suggestion is to join Weight Watchers, as I did and lost around 40 lbs and have kept it off for almost a year. They don't pay me to say that, either.

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back for seconds. But hang on! Stop to get a minute and suck on a supplementary strong mint. The flavour may put you off that next plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.
