You don't need four peices of smeared toast for breakfast.

Answer 2

Because it is fat, albeit natural, too much peanut butter can have an adverse effect of what you're trying to achieve. Also, try lean protein sources, such as soy and beans and more servings of it other than the peanut butter.

While you seem to be eating a good amount of fruit, you also need some veggies and calcium (some veggies, such as spinach and broccoli are good sources of calcium) .

I try to have at least one serving of whole grain, calcium (via soy or veggies), fruit or veggie and protein per meal, if not in between for snacks.

This is a good effort, you have to ask yourself if you can keep this up for a life time or even a week. Balance and moderation is important when becoming healthy which will lead to your optimal weight.

You may want to consider locally grown or organic fruits and veggies they are best. Replace the coffee with organic decaf tea less caffeine and too much peanut butter can clog the arteries.

Answer 4

No, it's not.

While the whole grain and peanut butter is sorta good, it's only starving your body-which means that ONCE you go off that diet-your going to gain probably all the weight you loose, if you loose any -back.

First off-Whole grain is good-in moderation. Whole grain is also a natural laxative. Balance your breakfast:

One source of protien-a healthy egg, with no butter, or grease. With veggies added in. Or a bowl of cereal (I suggest Kashi's), with one piece of fruit-orange, or banana slices (one small to mod. medium sized one). With a glass of what ever you want as long as it is low or no sugar.

For lunch-if you must have the peanut butter-get organic, non sugar added peanutbutter. Peanut butter is a good source of protien-and an even better source of fat from calories. Avoid, soy products if you are watching your weight-even more so for a lactose exchange. Eat a whole grain healthy bagel, sliced thin. with a slice of swiss cheese and ham. Use mustard over creamy sauces. You can also add fresh-non cooked veggies as your side, with ONE apple, with the skin. Apples are easily digested with the skins on, and believe it or not-it motabolizes your system even more.

Dinner-One porition (size of the palm of your hand) of meat. eat a veggie melody of atleast 1/4- 1/2 cup. Try a thin sliced sourdough bread, or a wheat or pumpernickle. Have a bowl of fresh green salad, add spinich, cut out the high fat dressings and crutons and your good to go..
between meals:Can never go wrong with lightly salted non buttered popcorn. (flavor with season salt instead of butter). Popcorn, and corn in general is a food that is not easily digested in the system and is often expelled with out retentions in a humans body.

How bout something sweet? Slice a banana (small) in half, keep one half for the next day-with the one half, take 1/3 cup of granola, fresh fruit, no sugar added chocolate sauce, and light whipped creame and have a non-icecream banana split.

Remember-one person can have up to: 4 cups of un sweetened and dairied coffee per day, 2 diet sodas per day, and on (4 oz) adult beverage per day to maintain a healthy digestion with out gain. To eliminate it all-go head, sub all for water, fruit waters, or non-carbonated waters.

Answer 5

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 in my blog

Answer 6

That's alot of bread for breakfast. Cut it down to two peices. For lunch, add a salad. For dinner, have some vegetables and a nice sized amount of lean protein.
