Okay diet plan?

Question

Breakfast: Half a slice of wheat/multigrain bread with a little butter

Lunch: One slice of wheat/multigrain bread with peanut butter

Dinner: Usually a mix of stir fried vegetables or soup & tofu

After school is when I'm usually hungriest so I'm trying to bloat myself with water. I swear, it's torture. If anyone has other suggestions that would be great.

Also, I absolutely / HATE / the small meals idea. I just don't do that. So I try to eat three meals and leave at least three or four hours between each.

As for exercise, I have a gym membership and I'm trying to convince my mom to drop me off there for a quick 30 min cardio workout. Otherwise, I'll try to start taking walks around my neighborhood track again. How long should I walk for? How fast?

Anyway, I'm trying to lose at least 10 pounds before 08. Is this a okay plan so far?

Answer 1

NO!!! You're definitely not eating enough. You need to eat at least twice that, so you could do the small meal idea that you hate so much and be just fine. For breakfast, eat the whole slice of bread, put some peanut butter and jelly on it and fold in half, add skim milk. For lunch, double the bread, lose the peanut butter, and add 2 slices of turkey and some mustard. Add fruits and veggies throughout the day, especially to your lunch. Your dinner is ok, I guess.

For cardio if you don't go to the gym, do a run/walk (check out Couch to 5K on the internet) for 20-45 minutes/day. Don't neglect lunges, squats, push ups, and crunches, which you can do without a gym.

It may not be healthy for you to lose 10 pounds by Jan 1, but you may see 4-8.

Hi...Got two ?s 4U.... #1 Now why did ya have to mention peanut butter ? I just got in the door, turned on computer, read this; reached in the cupboard for some scoops of peanut butter dribbled in chocolate syrup for quick energy---BUT I"m not worried about my weight....#2 Are you a vegetarian? If not; then a little sausage and eggs wouldn"t hurt for "B".Or a good bowl of oatmeal will keep you feeling full for hours plus give needed fiber. For "L" you could have assorted fruit and nuts or yogurt or a cheese sandwhich. For "D" Vegetables are always good; but again it wouldn"t hurt to add a little chicken or fish for protein. Also: macaroni has less starch than potatoes or rice ! Things to drink would be green tea, V-8, grapefruit juice, brewers yeast mixed in juice, low-fat milk, and low-salt soups. Jog 20 min. a day, and do crunches, stretching excersises and jumping jacks. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Your "small meals idea" diet plan is the perfect way to gain fat weight in your near future. You see, having less than what your body would require will put your body into a surviving mode and end up slowing down your metabolism, which will lead to gaining fat mass once you start eating normal meals, which you will eventually.

There is only one way to lose your weight properly, which is also the fastest since it's the only way. Any other ways would be waste of your time and money.

It is a proper diet and a proper exercise.
