Answer 1

NO

you have to eat a proper diet. If you do not eat you will not lose. Your body will go into a famine mode and hang onto every calorie you take in. You have to eat to lose.

· It is important to maintain a good diet so you don't compromise your health. Damage done because of lack of nutrition is not worth a nice body. Some diet damage cannot be fixed.
·
· When you deprive your brain, the brain will take other body cells to convert to the elements that it needs. And the cells it takes are BRAIN cells. OOPS. I don't want to lose brain cells to have thin legs. But I would like to have both.

Also, a quick weight loss is usually a water loss and that loss will come back ASAP. You cannot loose FAT more than 2 to 3 pounds a week. Any more than that and you are loosing water and muscle mass (not good)

AND DON'T GO ON A DIET. DECIDE TO MAKE A LIFE CHANGE TO A HEALTHY LIFE STYLE.

1) fruits and veggies, all you want, organic, raw, vine-ripe if possible. Steamed is OK, sautéed is OK even canned or frozen is OK, but lots of them.
2) limited or no meat.
3) nothing fried
4) no FAST FOOD- is junk, no nutrition, empty calories
5) NO PROCESSED FOOD. if you can't pronounce it don't eat it.
6) nothing white, salt, sugar, mayo, milk, (or at least in moderation.
7) NO DAIRY-dairy is great for baby cows, your body does not even digest it properly. check out www.notmilk.com
8) EXERCISE- and be sure to refresh your body with water and fresh fruit
9) NO PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS. Muscle is made from water, replace the water. You get enough protein from the food you eat, You get more protein from spinach than the supplements you take and your body does not get toxic on food protein the way it will with supplements. Supplements can really tax you liver.
10) Good supplement would be Omega 3, and B-12 and Juice Plus+

11) NO CARBONATED DRINKS, or at least limited. They actually dissolve the calcium in your bones.
12) Calories in calories out.

AND DON'T GO NUTS, MODERATION.

Answer 2

that all sounds fine to me (except the ritz) Sounds like you should throw some cereal or eggs on in the morning, a more predominant lunch (healthy sandwitch with the soup) and follow up with a large healthy dinner. (chicken salad and ... veggies)

However if your not working out and burning some of that stuff actively you really just well... running on a treadmill (no pun intended) no matter how much you are eating.

Answer 3

If you want to lose weight, you have to change you're eating habits.

Eat 6 small meals a day instead of 3 big meals.

And drink a glass of water before you eat.

If you want to snack, snack on healthy foods, like fruits and veggies.

And if you really want to lose weight, do 100 sit ups / crunches everyday

and go jog for a bit

Exercise should be at least 30 to 60 mins everday

Answer 4

Wow! NO!! If you continue to eat so little, you're body will go into "starvation mode" and suck up every little calorie you eat. When you get off the diet (asuming you haven't passed out or gotten hospitalized), you're body will continue to store every calorie you eat. What does this mean? It means you will gain serious weight after because you've been depriving your body. If you want to lose weight, you need to be healthy about it and allow time for it to happen.

Answer 5

thats pretty bad. not only is it too little, its very unbalanced. you should've opted to eat some more healthier sources of carbs than the ritz crackers. you should also increase your protein and veggie intake a whole lot. seriously if your that concerned about your weight eat a lot of protein, veggies, and fruit.

Answer 6

that isn't a lot to eat, not when an active growing person needs at least 2000-2500 calories a day.
eat sensibly and excercise.
best way to lose weight.

Answer 7

That is not nearly enough. If you are trying to lose weight, you will. You are starving yourself.

Answer 8

need fruits and veggies..more protein and diary..need to balance

Answer 9

sounds small

Answer 10

no good.....no protein at all...which means no growth
